YUBA COUNTY CoNvENTIos.-T Demo
cratic convention in Yuba which assembled
on Saturday lat. presented the following
tieket-Senator, C. E. Lippincott Assembly
men, J. E Clayton, S. NJ. Miles, DR.. VIM Gel
Ter, c. S. Gaver, c. 7. Chase; Coroner, DR.. II.
W. Teed. With the exception of the candi-
date for Coroner, they are said to be men who
believe that Broderick made them. As the
Broderickites had full control of the conven-
ton, the anti ieectionists should feel extreme
ly grateful for having the nominee fer Coroner
chosen from amongst their number. We sho'd
not be surprised however, to see their ticket go
in tail first, and the first official act Of DR.. 7.
be to hold inquests upon the bodies which now
constitute the Kangaroo ticket of Yuba.
Seriously, however, the anti -electionists of
Yuba should they refuse to support the nomi-
nees, will richly deserve the epithet of Bolt
er." If they have set supinely by and let the
Broderickites have matters their own way
they should not now refuse to support the
ticket If they have been fairly beaten, they
certainly have no cause of complaint, and
should lend their cheerful and hearty support
10 the ticket.

csy- TIE GLORIOUS FoURrH.-The glori-
Gus fourth, and the gloomy sni ungenerous
fifth, with their mirth and hilarity-ther stu
pid yawns and drowsy heads--have gone by.
Another fourth has been gloriously celebra-
ted. and another fifth has shown the partici-
pants the vanity of all earthly pursuits. Hav-
ing INDUCED in the festivities Of the occasion
at the Prairie Ranch, we verify believe we
shall not celebrate another fourth for about
year.
The festivities introduced at Bdwell, for the
benest of the Sabbath School, passed off in
fine style, to the satisfaction of all, and espe-
cially TO Young America. The Pic Mic, was
arranged in good taste, and an abundant sup
ply, and reflects great credit, upon the liber
atty and patriotism Of the ladies who took
charge Of the arrangements. Young America
was toasted and feasted to the full extent of
his voracious appetite, and there remained of
fragments ''seven baskets" God bless the
ladies of Bidwell, 'May their shadows never
be less
At the Prairie Ranch there wus nothing
lacking butroom Under the management of
Mr.. Stone, the arrangements were complete,
and had not the number in attendance excee-
ded all anticipation, there would have been
plenty of room for all to indulge in the joyous
dance. The table was loaded with an ample
supply Of everything requisite and the large
crowd had no cause to go away hungry.
From those in attendance at Forbestown,
we learn that the party at ''Brown's HOtel,''
was well attended, and gave general satisfac-
ton.
If our readers have any fault 10 find with
qantity or quality of the matter presented in
this number Of our paper, they can blame us,
or the 4th Of July as they please. If the III

had better join the Gar Of all the Russas. or

miserable. We were miserable only Oh the

SYNOPSIS OF ATLANTIC NEws,--The arri
va Of the Steamer brings the gratifying in
teiugence Of lie passage of the Nebraska Bill,
Notwithstanding the opposition of northern
abclitionists, the New England Clergy, and
southern Fanatics. The vast extent of terri
tory lying between the Missouri River and
Utah will be open for settlement as soon as it
can be procured from the Indians who are
inhabitingit. The important feature Of the
present Congress has become a law, and Uncle
Sam has enclosed another small field. So
siety has been started in New England styled
the Nebraska Immigration Society,"" the ob
jject of which is to prevent the territory now
thrown open for settlement, from becoming q
wool growing and cotton raising country, and
to make it vast pasture for the raising Of
New England calves. like Parker and Philips
men Of genius-but whose ideas of right
DO not extend beyond the colored population
and the boundaries OF Massachusetts,.
The return Of fugitive slave to his master
was made the occasion for assembling T. mob
in Boston such as the country has never be-
fore witnessed One man was killed by the
infuriated mob. The slave was returned to
his master by the aid of the military and L.
S troops. The mob were doubtless satisfied
that they had made grand demonstration for
freedom at small sacrifice Of life. Glorious.
isn't it?
Three Wagons loaded with five tons of gun
powder exploded in the streets Of Wilmington,
Delaware, on the 3lst Of May, killing seven
persons and fifteen horses.
An Irishman in the employ of Mr.. Wickham

wife and negro boy. It was supposed also
that he intend ed numbering two servant girls,
but they made their escape and gave the

Later from China.

BY the arrival of the Victoria from Hong
kong, news from that place to May 9Th is re-
ceived. and dates TO April 22d from Shanghae.
The 90 Herald" contains the suIj0insd SUM
mary:
Everything seems to have quietly settled
down al Shanghae; but the three consuls of
Great Britain, America and France. have
thought IL proper to address a statement of
the case to the Chinese public, to prevent any
misunderstanding on misapprehension about
the recent attack of their countrymen upon
the Imperial Camp.
Large numbers of Chinese are awaiting
passage for San Francisco The Hongkong
papers assert that most of the vessels are
overloaded.
PREPARATIONS FOR WAR.-Intelligence of
the declaration Of war had not yet reached
Honkong, but in anticipation of it. Sir John
Bowring, the British Envoy in China, has adj
dressed general letter through the consuls
to the British merchants at each of the ports,
urging them to caution in the very uncertain
state Of English relations with Russia This
warning, says the liongkong 4" Register" is a
very proper one, MS there. seems to be no
restriction in business, and we can imagine
nothing easier than the capture or destruction
of a large amount Of British property in these
seas, before the Russian feet is swept out of
them.
REPORTED DEFEAT OF THE IvsuRGENTs.-
The North China = Herald of April 22d says,
we give this weeks translatons from the Pek-
| ing " Gazetts' to the 18th March, general
! view Of which has already been given in a
former number. If the accounts OF Imperial
| ist success could be believed, they would show
q large destruction of the Insurgent army
but we must await further intelligence before
placing full faith in them. If they are true,
it proves that great error has been committed
in undertaking the Northern campaign with
insufficient forces to cope with their antago-
nists, and the prestige of their arms having
been thus dssipated, it will require much fu-
ture rrowess 10 recover the position the Taep-
ing army occupied at the commencement OF
the winter But we suspect it will be found,
hereafter. that if the lmperialists are success
fui in one quarter, the Insurgents are so in
another; and in a country like this, where it
is so difficult to obtain accurate information,
We must patiently await further particulars
of the progress of events, in order to form
just notions respecting them.
COM PERRy's TREATY WITH JAPAN
The & China Mali gives the terms of the
treaty proposed to Com. Perry by the Japan
ese, and says the original note containing
| these propositions, bore the seals of the first
| two japanese Commissioners, and was dated
the 25th day of the second moon of the sew
enth year of the Emperor Of Having. We
are a. loss about the Emperor of Ka-wing
who, according to this note, is now in the sew
enth year of his reign. 1t cannot mean the
temporal Emperor, who is in the first year Of
his reign-his predecessor having died in No
vember last Perhaps the Emperor OF Ke-
wing is the Seogoin or Spiritual Sovereign
The Hongkong IS Register says the British
Plenipotentary will make an effort to effect a
similar treaty with the japanese as soon as
circumstances will permit

NATIVE MARBLE.-The California Farm
er, has received specimen of native marble
brown ground, interlaced with white veina.
The vein from which it was taken, lies upoo
the banks of Tonales Bay, and apparently
extends to considerable distance, Il is
mostly of dark mahogany color, and the
veins of white are curiously interlaced. The
quarry is some fifteen miles up the bay from
the ocean. The water IS always smooth, 80
that vessels drawing ten feet of water, could
anchor within 4 mile, to which the marble
could be easily conveyed in lighters.

PALESTINE MoRTGAGED TO THE RorHs-

further asserts that, among the possibilities
OF the future is the erection Of Palestine on
the conclusion of peace, into Jewish K;uy-
dom, under the dynasty of the Rothschil,is.-
That serious territoriol alterations will grow
out Of the pending war is incontestible and

Mr.. SoULE's DlpLoMAcY.--The .Ntw YorR

Mr.. SoULE's Diplomacy The .Ntw York
Sun says, if, as it is now stated Mr.. Soule
has effected a settlement of the Black Warrior
difficulty, and obtained a promise from the
Spanish Government, that the Port regula-
tons at Havana shall be modified in favor OF
American vessels, he cannot have acted so in
discreetly as represented by unfriendly par
ties. 1t would be well if those who seek to
influence public opinion, would be careful to
have good evidence before they make charges
prejudicial to the character and to the eff
cheney of the public agents of the country
Mr.. Soule has not been fairly or generously
treated by portion of the press, and by some
dissatisfied politicians Honest objections to
his appointment might be entertained but he
is now to be judged By his acts and not by
prejudiced rumors.
