How Stnmds the Case Nowe

The New York Herald, which is always look
ing out for the strongest side, has the following
comment upon the result of the late elections:
Now, what the facts in reference to this
great principle" Of g hostility TO slavery exten-
sion?' Has the ani-slavery excitement upon
the Nebraska bill effected the wonderful achieve
ments which the Seward organs claim for it so
Justify? Let us see. From careful examine
tion OF the elections TO the new Congress, we
6nd that there have been
An,i-Nebraska men nominated and rejected, 20
Anti-Nebraska men nominated and elected, 35
Nebraska men nominated and rejected Is
Nebraska men nominated and reelected. 81
With these results, excepting Missouri and
Arkansas, the south have had nothing to do.
The proofs, therefore, against this anti-Ne-
braska agitation. 1t has substantially accom-.
plished hule or nothing; for nearly as many
ahtl-Nebraska candidates have been rejected as
have been elected, and there is every reason TO
believe there will be respectable majority in
the New House of Representatives, against any
repeal Of the Nebraska bill.

BEWARE OF THE Man WHO NEVER LAUGHS.

not love pleasure in any form. l cannot trust

The London correspondent of the New Ynrl,

social aspect of affairs in Europe -
The administration of Lord Palmersion h: 4

England in the eyes of Europe, they. too, ould
be swept away by the besom Of revolution, and
another monarch would appear, to consummatc
the job.
All Europe is alive with intrigues Russia is
employing her diplomacy against the allies with
the same success that has attended her arms
In Austria she has already outwitted and de-
feated both England and France by actually

In Spain Russia is stirring up the factions nf

EsPartero, which is supported by France and
England 1t is reported that Isabella will be
induced to abdicate, which would be master
stroke of Russia, as this would put end 'o

The end of it all is likely to be, as you may
infer. general uprootng in Europe. If The
war goes on, sooner or later, the people will
take a share in the excitement; and the Two
governments that fear this the most are the Eng

by disorders breaking out in Europe, as they
can never disturb her security. A tumnIt has
just occurred in France, and the troops had To
fire on the people. An insurrection has taken
place in India against British rule, but the
Times says it is nothing. Both are bad symp-
toms, and Napoleon and Lord Palmersion are
likely to have their hands full. When Europe
is fairly on her legs these two busybodies will
have enough to do without interfering with
again in Cuba, or in caballing against our inter
ests, with their negro brother and ally. Solouque

Yesterday the sow and regular strokes of

river, and in the very heart of the business part
of the city. The measured notes sounded
strangely and sadly, and fell uron the ear like
the melancholy toll of a funeral knell. This was
well calculated to force deep sigh from the
heart, for it was but another evidence of the
work of death that is going in our midst

SHORT CRoP.-We observe the Assessor of
Colusi, Mr.. w. w. Dunn, in his report TO the
Surveyor General sets down the last crop of
small grain in that county as "short" The en-
tire product OF the County for the year s55 was,
of Wheat l0l, 800 bushels, being an average of
but l53 bushels per acre; of Barley, 94.O66
bushels, being but lS bushels per acre; of Oats
1900 bushels, being but 90 bushels per acre
This for California, is undoubtedly "short,' al

cause of this partial failure.
