GS-The people are becoming awake to the
fact that the spirit of monopoly so rife in
California, is destructive to our every inter-
est. We are pleased to endorse the following
truthful remarks which we clipfrom the Eve
ming Journal
What California now wants is population
We have everything else that can be desired
but without population we caunot improve.
The State is able to support twenty times
the present population, and then it would be
the best country to live in and make money
that exists in the known world.
How shall we get the population? As
matters now are; very few families can come
to California from the Eastern States, and
less OF the class we most need. We need me-
chanlcs and intelligent working men of small
means. We have lawyers doctors and trades-
men enough now. We want small farmers
and artlzans who compose the middle class.
and comprise the most of the intelligence.
and nearly all the virtue and morality of ev--
cry country And we say it is impossible for
such people to come here. A man from that
class with family of four, five or six children.
is not usually worth more than two or three
thousand dollars, and if he must pay the pre-
sent rates of passage it will take all he has
to bring them here; and no sane man will
sell out his house in the East to be set down
with his family in California, and not doll
lar wherewith to provide for them. Our inn
migrants, then so long as the present high
price of passage continues, will either be
those who come and leave their families be-
hind them. intending to return to them in r.
year or two. or they will be adVenturers
without families. or else they will be trades
men or professional men, Merchants and
lawyers can live in our cities with their fam
lilies. In the first place they have the ability
to bring them here. and when here it is in the
power OF almost every one to live cheap and
we'll. But if man leaves his little farm in
New York or New England, and comes out
here and works hard and accumulates two
or three thousand dollars, he may 90 home
to bis wife and children to enjoy it, but he
must not think to bring them out here. IF he
does, he will have nothing left by the time
they arrive; and SO he puts back with his
dust. and California is little better for bis
having been here. The other class of men.
besides the doctors, lawyers and merchants
who have their families here, are not of the
mlddllng class as general thing. They have
come hither across the plains. and in sailing
vessels around Cape Horn, and had not the
refinement or education to make them fastid-
lous or particular as to what they endured.
provided they got here. The best class have
not come at ALL The class most needed is
between the tw0-the middle class-the class
that is the bulwafk of free government and
free Institutions

How AN INDIAN CAN DIE.-A touching in
stance of this characteristic trait occurred at
the late engagement between small war par
ty OF the Chlppewas and greatly superior
party of Sioux near Cedar Island lake. The
I 0nIppcWas, WHO we're Ell route for a sca]ping
foray upon the Sioux villages on the Mime
sofa, here fell into an ambuscade, and the first
notice of danger that saluted their ears was
the discharge of firearms from a thicket.-
Four OF their number fell dead in their tracks,
Another named War Cloud, leading brave,
had leg broken by bullet. His comrades
were 10th to leave him. and while his assail-
ants were reloading their guns, attempted to
carry him along with them to where he could
get the shelter OF thicket short distance in
the rear. But he commanded them to leave
him, telling them he would show their ene-
mics how Chippewa could die. At his re-
quest, they seated him on log, with his back
leaning against tree. He then commenced
painting his face and singing his death song
AS his enemies approached him he only sang
louder and livelier strain, and when several
had gathered around him, flourishinr their
scalplng knives, and screeching forth their
demoniacal yells and Civilizations, not a look
or gesture manifested that he was even a.
ware of their presence. At length they seiz-
ed him and tore his scalp from his head Still
seated with his back against large tree, they
commenced shooting their arrows into the
trunk around his head. grazing his ears neck,
&C.. until they literally pinned him fast with.
out once touching a vital part. But our hero
remained the same imperturable stole, con-
tinuing to chant his defiant strains. and al
though one of the number fiourished his reek-
ing scalp before his eyes, still not single ex-
preston of his countenance could be observed
to change At last one of the number an
preached him with tomahawk which after
a few unheeded foarlshes, he buried in the
captive's skull, who sank in death with song
still upon his lips. He had indeed succeeded
well in teaching his enemies show Chippewa
could die" A few days afterwards they were
taught how Chippewa could be avenged.

On the following day, one of the men.of.
war that lay idly beneath the guns of Moro
castle, suddenly became the scene of the ut-
most activity, and, before noon. had WEIGHED
her anchor, and was standing out into the
gulf stream. Marti, the smugeler, was on
board. as her pilot; and faithfully did he
guide the ship, on the discharge of his treach-
erous business, among, the shoals and bays of
the coast for nearly month, revealing every
secret haunt of the rovers, exposing their
most valuable depots and well-selected rem
devious; and many smuggling craft was
taken and destroyed. The amount of money
and property thus secured was very great |:
and Marti returned with the ship to claim
his reward from the Governor General, who,
we'll satisfied with the manner in which the
rascal had fulfilled his agreement, and be-
trayed those comrades who were too faithful
to be tempted to treachery themselves, sum-
moned Marti before him.
GAS you have faithfully performed your
part of our agreement said the Governor
General, II am now prepared to comply
with the articles on my part. In this pack
age you will Ind free and unconditional
pardon for all your past offences against the
laws. And here is an order on the treasury
for"
"Eycellency excuse me. The pardon. |
gladly receive. AS to- the sum of money
you propose to give to me, let me make you
proposition. Retain the money: and in
place of it, guarantee to- nae the right to fish
in the neighbOrhood of the city. and declare
the fish contraband to all except my agents.
This will richly repay me. and l will erect
public market OF stone. at my own expense.
which shall be an ornament to the city, and
which, at the expiration of specified num-
Der OF years shall revert to the government,
with all the right and title to the fishery1
Tacon was pleased with the idea of su-
perb fish market, which should eventually re-
vert to the government, and also at the idea
OF saving the large sum of money covered by
the promised reward. The singular PROPOSE
tion of the smuggler was duly considered and
acceded to, and Marti was declared in legal
form to possess for the future, sole right to
fish in the neighborhood of the city, or to
sell the article in any form. and he at once
assumed the rights that the order guaranteed
to him. Having in his rowing life learnedal
the best fishing-grounds, he furnished the
city bountifully with the article, and reaped
yearly an immense profit, until at the close
of the period for which the monopoly was
granted, he was the richest man on the is
land. According to the agreement, the fine
market and its privilege reverted to the
government at the time specified, and the
monopoly has ever since been vigorously en-
forced.
