lay at Nansasaki from the Goth of August to the

have been advised of the declaration of war.
That Russia should endeavor to open CONNER
clal relations with Japan, we think not at all
strange or to be wondered at; we are only in
terested in not permitting them to obtain the ad-
vantage by getting ahead OF us in the negotia-
tions. The Herald says:

tellisence from the Walker expedition IN the
18th ult. force of about rs men under Walker
were at San Vincente, expecting to leave imme-

The utmost destitution exists in the camp
Very many are barefoot ahd without clothing.
The force had plenty of ammunition and the

The most riSid discipline exists in the camp
and tile whole command drills an hour eyery

The news OF the arrest OF Capt. Davidson and
Col. Watkins had just arrived, and had produced
great effect III the camp. Some We're dis
heartened. and others only determined the more
resolute.y to stick t. the enterprise Walker
had stated to his officers who had in their turn
informed the men, that Capt. Davidson would
arrive overland with three or four hundred men
and that Col. Watkins was hourly expected by
him, AT San Quentin Bay, with two vessel loads
OF recruits, many of whom We're expected to be
frenchmen. Great disappointment was ex-
pressed at this disastrous news The people
had deserted their ranches. aud fled to The vi.

They were compelled to give up their pistols

O'Niel and Tibbets deserted Walkers force
about the 10th of March, and had not reached
San Diego or been heard Of and it is supposed
were cut off.

How CIScINNATI BECAME A CITY, In the
settlement of new countries, it often happens
that the most trivial circumstances produce i'm
portant results According to Judge Burnets s
Notes on the North Western Territory" the
question whether North Bend Cincinnati
should be the great commercial town OF the Mi
ami country decided by the fact that the
commandant of the military station at North
Bend became strongly attached TO .'black-eyed
lady, who lived with her husband at the Bend,
where he was stationed and the husband be-
coming some what alarmed at the attention
which the commandant paid his wife, removed
to Cincinnati. Finding his lady love had fed
the officer thought North Bend unfit for a COM
mercial town, and moved with his troops to
Cinciauati. AID from that day the glory Of the
Bend departed and that of Cincinnati arose.
Judge Burnet remarks, (page 6:)-..The in
comparable beauty Of a Spartan dame produced
a ten years war, which Terminated in the de-
sruction of Troy; apd the irresistible charms Of
another female transferred the commercial en-
porum of Ohio to the place where it now is. If
the captivating American Helen had continued
at the Bend. the garrison would have been erec-
ted ihere-populaiion, capital aud business
would have been concentrated there and thence
il wuuld have been the Queen City of the W est"
Who after this will say that woman is Of no i'm
portance in the DEGREES of fortune

EXTENSION OF PneEmprros RreHrs TO CAr

EXTENSION OF PREEMPTIoN RIGHTS TO CALI
foRNIA.- Washington, Feb. co. l854.-Mr La
than, (dem.) Of California, from the Committee
on Public Lands, reported the Senate bill for the
extension of the preemption privilege to Califor-
MIA. He said. by the act of March, 1853, preemp-
ton rights were given on unsurveyed lands in
California for period of one year. This right
will cease to exist next March, and the same ex-
igency which induced Congress to pass the act
still exists. The bill passed the Senate unani-
mously, and is agreed to by the Committee Oh
Public Lands unanimously. 1t will be several
years before the public lands in California can
be surveyed; unless some such provision this
shall be passed, all permanent settlements will
cease for the time being. The bill extends pre-
emption for two years, during which time it is
presumed the lands can be surveyed. Out of
SO ,O00. 900 of acres Of land there 80 OO0,-
600 acres are mineral lands; Is, GOO 600 cannot
be irrigated, and therefore cannot bo cultivated,
leaving but 20, 100000 capable of cultivation
Ten twelve millions of these are claimed by
Spanish grants.
The bill was passed with trihing amendments.

amount of wheat growing the present year in

the proper vouchers therefor can be laid before

We find the following among the proceedings
Of the Senate on the 29th ultimo:

We find the following among the proceedings
of the Senate on the 29th ultimo:
MIR. Sprague, from the special Committee TO
whom was referred the special message of the
Governor giving his reasons for vetoing the bill
ceding Mare Island to the United States. report
ed that the merits of said objections were con
tained in the following documents:
lst. letter dated Dec. 1852, from MIR. Ken
nedy, late Secretary of the Navy, accepting GER
tain propositions from Mr.. H. Aspinwall and
others for the sale OF Mare Island to the United
States.
Cd. A deed from VIM. Fl. Aspinwall and 9th
ers, conveying to the United States for con-
sderation OF $50, ,490 the entire of Mare Island
Sd. bond from VIM. II. Aspnwa and 9th
ers to the United States Government, binding
themselves in the penal sum of 100000, TO in
demnify the United States, if any claims should
thereto be set.
From these documents it was apparent To
the Committee that, for consideration of $685.
400, these parties conveyed TO the United States
tue fee simple estate of the entire tract of land
known as Mare Island. The committee also re,
ported that the parties derived their title from
the Castro grant. and it was very doubtful
whether the Land Commission would confirm
that title not. They recommended that the
present bill be not passed, aud that another bill
securing to the United States the full benefit
contemplated, be passed.
Alter debate, the report was accepted, and
laid on the table for the present.
