From the Fillibusiers.

By the arrival of the Goliah we have the fol-
lowing interesting accounts from the Filibus-
tiers. We clip from the s. F. Courier:
Although President Walkers army has suE
fered very considerably from desertion, he has
nov a force Of nearly four hundred men, and he
may be said to be in better condition to carry
on an aggressive war upon Sonora than at any
previous time. He has now iorce enough to
form the basis of very considerable army, and
there can be no doubt but that he will in short
time have accessious to his command from vari-
parts of the Pacific.
A movement upon Sonora has been planned,
and perhaps by this time portion of the army
has taken up its line Of march. The point to be
assailed FIRST is Altar, some five hundred miles
the Gulf above Guyamas We expect that
these filiibusters will now act with vigor. The
people OF Lower California, it apfears. have
concluded to yield to ii necessity which cannot
well be avoided. They have resolved to with
draw from Mexico, and unite with Walker and
his sforce IN erecting Lower California into sep
arite and independent State. A Convention is
to be called to form a constitution and to organ
lze Government, with Il sufficient force to pro-
tect the country in the absence of Walker and
the major part of his army in Sonora.
Lower California may be said now to be
separate and Independent power. Unless Uncle
Sam lnterferes, ports of entry will soon be
opened to the world, and trade and commerce
Will find new avenues and ouiles-another
publican flag will soon be unturled from towers
and Notifications. well as toat from the mast
head OF ships traversing the bosom of the ocean.
Capt. Gilman's wound still keeps him
fined To his bed. Owing to the want of surgical
instruments, the ball has never been extracted

which, we understand is under the care OF the
Sisters of Charity.
duel had been fought between Mai. Crocker
and Lieut.. Joseph E. Ruddoch, account of
some sudden quarrel that arose between them
They used navy revolvers, al ten PAGES distant
Ruddoch received bail ia Ais right foot, which
will probably cripple him. Crocker woun-
ded i'll the left thigh, nst above the knee, and is
the most seriously hurt. Each discharged
all the six barrels of his pistol.
Gold has been discovered in Southern Califor
MIA, about Is miles from Los Angeles, in the
mountains near Santa Anita These discoveries
have produced great excitement. The Star
says:
The sassse kind OF swnning to and fro, asking
of hurried questions and uncertain expectancy
has been exhibited which have often been wit
messed IN northern towns, when break has
been made for diggings Muing mple-
ments and camp utensils IN demand. Pack
trains apd o,les appliances are starting in
the direction of the Placers. In fact, quite a
lively sensation has been created.

NUMBER SO.
Annabel Lee.
BY EDGAR A. POE.

1t was many and many year ago.
In kingdom by the sea,
That maiden there lived whom you NAV know
By the name of Annabel Lee
And this maiden lived with no other tbousbt
Than to love and be loved by me-
| was child and she was child,
In this kingdom by the sea; Ilove
But we loved with love that was more than
| and my Annabel Lee;
With love that the winged seraphs above
Coveted her and me.
And this was TIE reason, that long ago,
In the kingdom by the sea,
"A wind blew out of cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
80 that her high-born kinsmen came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up ia sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.
The angels, not half so happy in heaven
Went envying her and me
Yes, that was the reason, as all men know
la this kingdom by tl.e sea,
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee
But our love it was stronger by far than the love
OF those who were older than we
OF many far wiser than we;
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons under the sea-
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
OF the beautiful Annabcl Lee.
For the moon never beams without bringing mo
dreams
OF the beautiful Anaalael Lee; Teyes
And the stars rise, but feel the bright
OF the beautiful Annabel Lee.
And so all the night-tide | lie down by the side
OF my darling, my darling-my life, and my
bride
In the sepHlchre there by the sea-
In her tomb by tue sounding sea.

CEssIoN OF WEST FLoRIDA-The citizens of
Florida, west of the Chattahooche. wish to cede
that portion of the State to Alabama, and
the Legislature of Alabama have passed res

one hundred and sixty miles in length, by fifty
or sixty miles in breadth, lying upon the Gulf of
Mexico the shore of which, in the event of the
cession being made, wonld become the southern

A SMART BoY.-Last Sunday, was endeav-

God.
Now Tim says 7. what color is that wall

.Bnt look through these green spectacles and
what color does it appear!'
Green sir
But is the wall really green. or does it only
seem so because you are looking through a
green glass
1T is white, and only looks green from the
spectacies
