MEssRs. EDIToRs :-'' In the course of human
events" two circumstances occurred that have
aroused us from our otherwise torpid state The
first is the confirmation of Thomes's Grant, the
other the Breach vi Promise Case, now going ON
at San Francisco
The former was a little unexpected and rather
took some of the squatters aback for few days.
but they now going on, and trust there
will be no trouble arise from it. especially as
Thomes seems disposed TO do the fair thing in
the matter.
The price at which he will sell the land, if at
all, is not known. If at living price. he will
most likely, sell considerable TO present occu-
pants. The grant is large one, seven leagues,
think. and very valuable.
The Breach Of Promise Case, as reported has
been read with great idiiy, and sides are taken
$ readily and with as much zeal in Presi
dental canpai gn. One will say ''poor thing"
and heave a sigh mot loud but deep" as he
reads the interesting proceedings. We say the
heart must be badly bruised if thirty thousand
dollars won't make it as good as new. The facts
that have been ELECTED. are sweet episodes in
the lives of the parties, and would have been
much better appreciated by them. had they re-
maiued concealed from the vulgar gaze of the
public.
Let it 60 as it may. the report is splendid
comedy, and we think there is chance Tor Bur-
ton to make s'spec. if he would get hold of it
and dramatise and produce it on the boards in
Chambers street. 1t wonid have as great a run
8 Toodes'' in its palmiest days, for snch kiss
ing and hugging, cooing and wooing could not
help bringing down The house most handsomely.
But seriously. in the end they will both be will
ling to say with honest Iago-
=. Who steals my purse steals frash:'
" But he that filcles from me my good name.
Robs me of that. which not enriches him,
And makes me poor indeed
The weather has heen delightful for a few
days past, and warm to-day that the Musqui-
toes have sprung from the earth ready armed,
like Minerva from the head of Jove.
The river has been up some. but is now fall
ing; however this weather, if it continues, will
likely melt the snow in the mountains, and thus
keep it up for while.

REToRT CoURTKous.-In reply to the question
from one OF Walkers men, Where is the other
man who would have attempted what be hast
And where, above all, is the other man who
would have sncceedsd as he has dome I" the
California Chronicle makes the following very
tart and pungent reply:
To the first question we reply, that g the 9TH
er man who would have attempted what" Walk
er has, is now confined in the State prison and
q the other man who would have succeeded y.
emnen,ly as well as Walker has done, is not en-
tirely unknown to fame, though his present To-
calily is unknown to us. We allude TO General
Tom Thumb. We fully believe that he could
have accomplished what the ''go aheadative"
Walker has but we know of no other man that
could have overcome difficulties so great.

WHAT REAsoN.-The State Journal in an ar
tcle urging the Senatorial election the present
session, says:
The Democratic party is largely in power
in this State. &c. &c. We are certain that a
democrat who would do honor to the State, can
be elected now--if deferred, there is no GER
tainfy that we shall be in power next year, but
a strong probability that we may not"
If, with all the patronage OF the State and Fed
eral Governments in its hands, the Democratic
party finds itself in the minority in the next
Legislature, then we say, in all justice, they do
not deserve to fill the vacancy occasioned by the
expiration of Senator Gwin's term. To suppose
that the party at present so largely predomna-
ting in both branches of the Legislature, will be
hurled from power i'll one short year, is not very
complimentary, we think, to the Legislators now
assembled at Benicia.

V The Rev. James Rogers, of the Cali

circuit during the past conference year, departed
on yesterday morning in company with his lady,
on his way to the Annual Conference, which
assemblies in Sacramento in few weeks.
We learn that during the year, Mr. R. collect
ed the sum of 81, 400 for the benefit and support
of the Church in this place. This sum was ex-
pended as follows: In payment of old debt on
church building, $3.50; seats for same, SIls so ;
doors, windows, &c. for same, $l2I; for s. s.
Library, &C., $3.50 So parsonage, &C., $500
to support of minister, $3.50 total $l,400.
There is yet remaining debt ON the parson-

have the means and disposition to support a
minister with family, that such will be placed
in charge of this circuit the ensuing year

The 3fexie.n Treaty.

There seems to be much doubt relative to the
truth of the report from Mexico-which we pub
lished last week-that Mr. Gadsden, our Mexi-
can Minister. had negotiated treaty with Santa
Anna, securing to the United States, tor the sum
of $23, 500 900, Lower California, Sonora, and
large portion Of Sinaloa aud chihuahua. The
Herald thinks that the cession of the Mesilla Val
ley, and of the right of way through the frontier
States has given rise to the report The Alta
also discredits the report. We are induced,
however, to hang on to the hope of its truthful
ness by the following from the Times 5 Tran
script:
Besides the accounts of the consummation OF
this purchase, published by US yesterday, we are
advised that the commanding general of tile U.
S. forces in California has received dispatches
from the Legation at Mexico, stating that srch a
treaty had been concluded, with which General
Gadsflen himself would shortly proceed to Nash
ipeton. and its confirmation is not doubted.
The very moderate amount said to be given
for the territory named, is the chief obstacle In
the way of its credibiity.
In this connection, the California Chronicle
says
1t would be absurd to suppose that, after the
offer by our Government of S., 000, 900 for small
piece of land without population or sea coast,
Mexico would give Sonora Sinoloa and Chilua-
hua, for $25, 900 900, portion of which is the
finest soil in the world, to say nothing Of the
mineral wealth of Sonora.
