VIM. WALKER, Col.
President of Lower California.
Lower California.

The peninsula of California-bounded
east by the Gulf of California, which sep
arates it from the western coast of the rest
of Mexico, south and west by the Pacific,
and north by line drawn due west from
the mouth of the river Gila across the
Colorado to the Paci6c-Ges between the
parallels of 33deg., and % deg, north,
and so is nearly 700 miles long by about
$50 wide. This is the real California of
geographers; our own State so entitled
having acquired the name only by con-
tiguity and community of government
prior to our seizure of Alta Upper Cal
ifornia.
Lower California is very thinly peopled,
in good part by half civilized Indians, and
its industry and productions are yet incon-
siderable. But among its natural pro-
ducts are Silver,-and probably Gold, eb-
ony, Lignum Vitae, Dye-woods, Pearl.
Oyster and other Fisheries, and an Island
of Salt named de Carmo. It's climate is
dry, but its soil is mainly good. A few
inconsiderable islands line its western, and
a much larger number stud its eastern
coast, where its harbors must mainly be
sought. Though its summer temperature
is hot, and much of its surface is destitute
of running water, it is very likely to be
one day population, thriving, valuable
country.
And now as to Fillibustering:
The First Fillibustering expedition (since
Fremont's directed against Mexican Cal
ifornia, was projected from oar Califor-
MIA, in 1851. Its effect" consisted of the
bark Josephine; its commander was one
Morehead, who had belonged to Col. Ste
venson's NewYork Regiment of Califor-
MIA V Volunteers. 1t debarked at San Jose,
situated a mile and half from Cape San
Lucas, the southern extremity of the pen
insula, and containing 200 inhabitants,
mainly unoAending Mexicans and indians
Among them were sometwenty Spaniards,
of whom perhaps ten were effective, in
cluding an Alcalde, Priest, and Mill
tary Commandant, but no Military and nc
arms.
Yet the Fillibusters were repulsed
through the bravery and energy of ar
American then at San Jose, now in this
City who furnished to the Alcalde three
mule loads of arms, with which the effec
tives were armed and Morehead beater
off. He sailed in his bark for Mazatlan
where his expedition dissolved.
The next attempt was made in the win
ter Of 1858, by the same Walker VIII

A FEW WORDS TO A LADY, RE-
GARDING HANDS.
And so you don't fancy my great bony fist,
With the impress Of lobor, in sinew and wrist,
And prefer topress one of a adelicate hue,
With the pink round the nails; when you say
"how dye do"
o, give to my heart hard, manly hand,
With the fingers we'll knit, and the joints at
command,
Too big and too heavy to case in glove;
That could fight for its country its God, and its
love.
If not on the field when the battle is loud,
O'erthe crimson. stained furrow, the cannon has
plowed; s.-
Where the kite and the vulture, black birds of
the fight,
Hover over the fallen, awaiting the night;
But in the great combat, the battle of life,
With its deep changing tumult and civilized
strife;
Or on the grand hills, with their fresh waving
grain,
from the plains;
Where the furrows are deep, that the plowman
has made,
And the engines of war are the harrow and
spade;
Where the farmer sit down in the stiffness Of
even, ..--.,. ii
And his children sings songs to their Father in
Heaven;
Where warm Oh the hill side, the brook rings its
tune,
And the violets grow in the sunshine of June;
Where the soldiers of labor have homes on their
lands,
And great stalwart chests, and big bony hands.
Yes, madam! the boy that you cradle forest,
Whose brown, sunny curls wandered over your
breast,
Whose lip drains the warmth of its fountain ot
life,
Must fight in the BATTLE bear part in this strife
And that maiden, whose eyes have drank deer
of the night,
Shall unfold her rich beauty, away from thy
sight,
And the rose-bed that springs for the mother
alone,
Shall give all its sweetness to heart that's
unknown
Becarefull and fancies like yours throw aside,
And be glad if in wearing the wreath of bride
The bridegroom she chooses besides her tt
stand,
Has great open heart, and big bony hand.

Steamer San FanciScO.

Until the fate of this noble vessel is
fully known, with her eight hundred peo-:
pie, the public mind will be intensely ex-
ercised. She was seen in latitude SO de-
grees 90 minutes, her decks swept, all her
boats lost and completely disabled. This
was about 800 miles east of Cape Henlo-
pen, and 26O E. S. E. of Sandy Hook
The San Francisco was anew and staunch-
built vessel, and well oficered-circum-
stances that would strengthen the hope
that those on board would eventually
reach their homes in safety. She was
destined for San Francisco, via the Straits
of Magellan, touching at Rio Janeiro,
Valparaiso and Acapulco. She sailed
from New York on the 21st ult., and had
On board companies A, B, D, G, H, l, K

men. Among her passengers were Mr.
George Aspinwall, Capt. J, w. T. Gardi-
ner, of the lst Dragons, who intended
to join his regiment in California. and
Lieut.. F. K. Murry, of the Navy, who in
tended to join the squadron at Rio.

PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES.
Nov. 8, 1853

PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES. e"
Nov. 8, 1853.
In declaring the republic of Lower
California, free sovereign and Independent
/ deemit proper to give the people of the
United States the reason for the course |
have taken. 1t is due to the nationality
which has most jealously guarded the in
dependence of American States, todeclare
why another republic is created on the
immediate confines of the great Union.
The Mexican Government has for along
time failed to perform its duties to the
Province of Lower California. Cut off
as the Territory was by the treaty of
Guadaloupe Hidalgo from all direct COM
munication with the rest of Mexico, the
central authorities have manifested little
or no interest in the affairs of the Cali
fornia Peninsular. The geographical po-
sition of the province is such as to make
it entirely separate and distinct in its in
terests from the other portions of the
Mexican Republic. But the moral and
social ties which bound it to Mexico, have
been weaker and more dissoluble than
the physical. Hence, to develop the re-
sources of Lower California, and to effect
a proper social organization therein, it was
necessary to make it independent.
The mineral and pastoral wealth of
Lower California is naturally great; but
to properly develope it there must be
good government and sure protection to
labor and property. Mexico is unable to
furnish these requisites for the growth and
prosperity of the Peninsular. The Ter
ritory, under Mexican rule would forever
remain wild, half savage and uncultiya-
ted, covered with an indolent and uncivil-
lied people, desirous of keeping all for
eigners from entering the limits of the
State. When the people of a Territory
fail almost entirely to develope the re-
sources nature has placed at their com.
mand, the interests of civilization require
others to go in and possess the land
They cannot, nor should they be allow
ed to play the dog in the manger, and keel
others from possessing what they have
failed to occupy and appropriate.
Mexico has not performed any of thu
ordinary duties of a government toward
the people of Lower California. ! She ha
established no sure and ready means o
communication for the people among them
selves, or with the rest Of the world; no
has she ever undertaken to protect then
: from the wandering robbers who infest tn
Territory. Thus abandoning the PENN
suiar, and leaving it as it were, waif o.
the waters. Mexico cannot complain
others take it and make it valuable.
On such considerations have I and m
companions in arms acted in the cours
we have pursued. And for the success c
our enterprise, we put our trust in Hir
:, who controls the destiny of nations, an
. guides them in the way of progress an
q improvement.

The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1854-01-19


FEMALE ESHoEMAKERs.-Itis is stated that
in Washington some of the most respec
table and independent women, married
and single, engage in the shoemaking bus
mess as an agreeable pastime, as well as
from motives of economy. '.The galters
which cost us $3 at the stores, - writes q
female, sscost us one days labor and 6e
cents for the best material bought atrer
tail. One of US has made FIVE pair of Ia
dies CATERS in week. Many of us
make shoes for ourselves and children,
without neglecting other household du-
ties. On Capitol Hill alone, there are
thirty ladies thus employed, and abou.
two hundred in the city. We find livery
easy to make two pair of children's shoes
in day, and they cost us here 81 25a
pair .aa
What will women who complain about
housekeeping and cooking for two Or
three persons, think Of those Washington
ladies'? azrrt -t1
