!yndepcndent SorereignS,
1L6iterS ofMe Peoples 'cW j.:
Your Executive feels it his duty to re-
mind you of the great weight of gratitude
and obligation you are all under to the
great Arbiter of all human events, and
that YOU ought to be thankful that it is as
well with you as it is.
Your Executive fully appreciates your
energy, disinterestedness and zeal Tor the
public welfare, which has been striklngiy
manifested and powerfully illustrated in
the choice that you have made OF your
Executive.
In calling me to preside over the destl-
MES of sovereign State it must be appar-
ent to every one that you not only have
displayed uncommon zeal but exhibited very
clearly great sacrifice of both principle
and interest. Now beg leave to assure
you, though you may not have been actua-
ted by motives as high as Heaven. your
great zeal and self'sacrifice shall rebound
to your own advantage, provided you pay
particular attention TO the instructions that
! shall give you from time to time.
1t is matter of congratulation to yeur
Executive, that California possesses all the
elements of true greatness. 1t must be
admitted that Cincinnatus lived in the very
dark ages of the world, or he would never
have been compelled to leave the plough to
serve the people; whereas, in this age of
light and knowledge people of all avoca-
tions are found ever ready and willing to
serve the people at whatever cost. 1t Is
thus that the farmer leaves his plough, the
miner his shaft, the mechanic his work
shop, the preacher the sacred desk, in short
ell avocations and conditions in life are
sacrificed for the public good. In this re-
spect California will compare favorably
with her elderly sisters. In presenting
YOU with this view of the subject, your
Executive feels warranted in saying that
California has all the elements OF true
greatness.
During the past season our citizens have
been usefully and pro6tably employed
The miner runs his level and sinks his
shaft with the almost certainty of success
The farmer reaps a golden harvest for his
toll. Our commerce spreads her broad and
snowy sails to the four winds of Heaven
and unfurls the star spangled banner in
earth's most remote corner. But yester'
dav our rivers rolled their lmpid elements
,brouoh unbroken solitude, to-day thelt
banks are decked by the hands of art To-
day the croaking Of the engine may De
heard and seen casting forth its volumes
of blue vapor to the skies. Tomorrow oe 'ne
iron horse will be speeding his way over
ourvalleys and visiting our mountain cues s
To morrow the telegraph will speak TO us
in voice that may be heard throughout
tbe realms of space not however in thun,
der tones. but, in a still small voice as sure,
as rapid and as noisless as ray OF llght;
Soon we shall be in possession OF all the
blessings aud privileges that ever was con-

The SoULE AFFAIR.-The provocation
given by the duke of Alba, at a ball given
by the French ambassador, which led to
the assault by young Soule, is stated as
follows by the Paris correspondent of the
London Chronicle -
Mr.. Soule, jr.. while walking through
the ball room with Mrs. Perry, the wits Of
the United States secretary of legation
overheard the duke of Alba, (who had re-
Gently been in Paris, and is therefore a
Judge of ladies' Dress make some con-
temptuous remark on the style of dress
adopted by the wife of the American min
lister, mother of young Soule.
It appears that the lady had adopted a
costume which is not quite la mode de
Madrsd, in SO far that it covered her per-
son up to the throat whereas the most
approved fashion among the Madrid dam
sells is to exhibit as many of the grsces
conferred upon them by nature as come
within the bounds of decency. The re.
mark of the duke was, "There goes Mary
of Burgundy" Mr.. Soule on hearing the
contemptuous expression, left the lady with
whom he was walking, and going up to the
duke, informed him gull etaits ume cana
lite, and accompanied this piece Of infor-
nation with a--push.
Great excitement ensued, and Mr. Soule's
father having interfered, took away the
young man, who subsequently addressed
challenge to the duke, which has not yet
been accepted, the duke having found ii
convenient to represent the whole affair as
political-which it certainly is, ifthe dress
Of the American minister's wife was not
strictly in fashion. At all events, no fight
ing had taken place at the time when the
last dispatches left {; bat the affair was
topic Of conversation every where, and the
feeling was that Jonathan's position In II
was preferrab bic to that of Hidalgo.

HE END OF THE WoRLD.-Ano.her
Miller has arisen in New Orleans, who
predicts that the world will come to an end
in 1872; he speaks of it in the most posi-
tive manner. He says in letter address
ed to the editor of La Lemaine, French
paper published in New Orleans -
Dear Sir-As we live in an age of mir
acles and strange discoveries, permit me to
impart to You, by this means, the fact that
the End of the World will be on the 5th
of May, 1872. know you will ridicule
this prophecy but you may, nevertheless,
rest assured that it will most certainly
come to pass Veritas.

sovereign is expected to do just as he pleas
es, while your Executive reserves to him
self the same privilege.

TIE AN GEL-WAT C II /:


A daughter watched at midnight
Her dying mothers bed
For five long nights she had not slept,
And many teas were shed:
A vision like angel came,
Which none but her might see
"Sleep, duteous child" the angel said,
"And | will watch for thee"
Sweet slumber like bl, ssinG fell
Upon the daughters face
The angel smiled, but touched her not,
But gently took her place
And oh so full of HUMAN love,
Those plying eyes did shine,
The angel guest halfmortal seemed
The slumberer half divine.
Like rays of light the sleepers locks
In warm loose curls were thrown;
Like rays of light the angels hair
Seemed like the scepcrs o~n.
A rose-Iikc shadow on the check,
Disso wing into pearl
a something III that angels lace
Seemed SISTER to the girl
The mortal and immortal each
Rejecting each were seen;
The earthly and the spiritual,
W ith deaths pale face bctwccu.
y human love, what strength like thine!
From thee those prayers arise
Which, entering into Paradise,
Draw angels from the skies.
The dawn looked through the easement cold
a wintry dawn of gloom,
A sadder showed the curtained bed
The still and sickly room:
My daughter art thou there, my chi'e
Oh haste thee, love, come nigh,
That | may once more thy lace.
And bless thee, ere | die -
'If ever were harsh to thee,
Forgive mo now she cried;
God knows my heart, | 10y thee most
When most seemed to chide;
Now bend and kiss thy IN theirs lips,
And for her spirit pray!
The ANGEL KISSED HER and her soul
Passed blissiully away
4 sudden start what dream, what sound,
The slumberng girl alarms
She wakes she sees her mother dead
Within the angels arms
Size wake.-sie springs with Wild embrace =
But nothing there appears
Except lie rmother's sweet dead lace
Her own convu!. i've tears.

Francisco Orphan Asylum by the Phi,

The Nevada journal., 1854-01-27


of the 18th. says it was informed by a
gentleman from Humboldt Bay, some days
since, that just before he arrived at Burnt
Ranch, on Trinity River, five Indians had
been shot by party of whites. Mr.. Fish,
who was residing on the ranch, had just
started out in search of some animals that
were lost, when three Indians, we'll armed,
were seen by young man who was left
in charge of the ranch, approaching the
house. He becoming frightened, started at
once in pursuit of Mr.. Fish, and quickly
overlook them. Mr.. F. then returned to
the house, drew his gun upon the savages,
and thus compelled them to yield their
arms, after which he drove them into the
house. In few minutes thereafter two
more Indians came up, and met with the
same luck-were correlled in the house,
The young man then started to obtain the
assistance of several miners in determin-
ing the treatment to be awarded the saw
ages, while Fish stood guard at the door.
Soon after the miners arrived, dozen or
more Indians, all fully armed, were dis
covered upon the surrounding hills. This
left no doubt upon the minds of the whites
that it was their intention to again burn
the house, if possible, and the prisoners
were therefore taken out and shot. 1t
appears that the Indians are bitterly op-
posed to the presence of white men in
that locality, and have accordingly taken
every opportunity to annoy the settlers
by running off their stock.

Erports and Imports; Our imports for
the year ending June 3Oth, 1858, Of for+
Feign goods were $263,O0o,oO0 our ex7
ports of domestic goods-gold not included
were S2O3,000,0o0; which leaves a
balance on the goods account of $60,OO0,-
900 against the United States. To pay
this, we have exported s23,000,ece in
gold and silver more than we have impor-
ted, which still leaves balance against us
of $37 100000. A portion of this may
be substracted for accumulated freights on
exports, but as an Offset, we may safely as.
sumo that goods enough have been sworn
in under the foreign AID vALoREM system
at price greatly under their value, to
more than balance the whole profits on
freights. A heavy debt of some $40, 0,0OO,.
600 must have accumulated against us
abroad, during the past year. How is ii
to be paid I? will soon be the question to be
