The DIFFEREN cE.-The time has been
in California when an honest expression of
opinion on the part of newspaper editor,
which happened to reflect on the conduct
of a prominent member of community.
would be followed by an attempt at mutual
murder; and such was the thraldom in
which these chivalrous blusterers held the
community, that declination of the polite
offer was tantamount to an admission of
eowardice. We arc happy to say that
he day when such things could be has
passed away. And while We do not en-
tirely approve the mode which the editor
of the Eoening Bulletin has adopted of
righting public wrongs, we caunot forget
that to him we owe the inauguration of this
new era-that but for him we would still
have been at the mercy of the professional
murderers whom the world knows as duel
lists.
For legitimate expression of opinion,
couched in language far less offensive than
that which characterizes the articles of the
Bulletin, the lamented Gilbert met his
fate, and lives have been risked since then,
and murders attempted on ground equally
slight. How these things could have been
endured SO long is surprising. But they
are past, and with their departure passes
away the reign of the individuals who,
pompous and portly, have sought to fasten
on us the customs of past age an age
in which labor was dishonorable and idle
ness the sign of a gentleman. For such
as these there is now no place in our com
munity. Their effervescing valor finds no
vent under the rule of proper public
opinion. But there is yet hope for the
disciples of the duello. Walker is in Nj
caragua and needs frc-eaters. Go to him,
ye valiant ones or if the hazard there be
not sufficient, volunteer against the In
dians, who are now in arms against the in
habitants ofo northern counties. Surely
some opportunity can be found where you
may advantageously dispose of your sur
plus ferocity, now that public opinion pro-
hibits it being poured out here-Wid

ANOTHER SLICE OF Mexico BARGAIS-
ED FoR.-Thc Washington correspondent
of the N. Y. Courier and Enquirer writes
in relation to said pretty operation to
have been on the tapis between our Min
ter, Mr. Gadsden, and Santa Anna, pre-
viously to the abdication and flight of the
latter: From recent developments, it is
inferred that General Gadsden had con-
cluded a private arrangement with Santa
Anna, without the knowledge of his Min
istry or our Cabinet, in the form of a trea-
ty, dispensing with the running and mark
ing of the boundary line under the present
treaty, and carrying out the project of
annexing Lower California, and establish
ing the boundary on the twenty ninth
parallel. In the proportion of the price
that was agreed to be paid for the Mcsil-
la and adjacent tract, th. purchase oney
for these Territories would have been at
least forty millions Of dollars.
An arrangement of this character must
of necessity have been private, and must
have depended for its final execution upon
the success of Santa Anna in the contest
to secure absolute power which he was
then carrying on. 1t is alleged that
proet of the treaty was left behind by San
ia Anna, and fell into the hands of his
successors in the government, who at once
notified Gen. sGadsden that it could not
receive their approval. :a 3 z7sl e =: bass

THE PORTRAIT OF WAsiIIyt: Wo-
VEN IN SILK.-The silkcu pustrai, Of Geo.
Washington, which was presented to the
city of Boston few days since, from
Messrs. Pouson, Philippe & Vibert of Ly-
ons, through the medium Of Consul Chas.
s. j. Goodrich, was manufactured under
the auspices of the most eminent mer-
chants of Lyons, by some of the best
workmen in the world 1t was copied
from an engraving of Stewards painting,
and it is said to be an accurate likeness.
The city of Lyons, although the second
city ofFrance in population, is the first in
manufactures and artistic productions
1t works seventy thousand looms and gives
employment to nearly two hundred thou
sand artizans. The richly figured bro
cade silks and other stutfs are all manu-
factured upon the Jacquard loom. Por-
traits of individuals are only occasionally
made upon this loom, and then only as
specimens of art and for the Court fami-
lies of Europe. Their great cost prevents
their manufacture as articles of commerce
and trade. Their expense varies from
Eve to twenty thousand dollars The
portrait of Washington, which was pre-
sented to our city,, occupied two years in
completion, during which time it had to
pass through the hands ofseyeral artists.

THE POETRY OF MODERN FAcrs-
Until the poet Wordsworth came, who
would have believed that so much beauty
existed in the despised common things Of
the earth? But he, watching with a pa
tient eye of love, found a secret meaning
and soul of lovelincss where other pass
ers-by had seen nought but blank moth
lngncss. Just as the many pass by some
human face, and think it plain-perh haps
ugly-until tho true lover comes, and
flnds an unfathomablc beauty there. In
like manner did Burns reveal the beauty
and the poetry that lurk amongst the peo-
pie IN the bye ways Of humanity It is
a part tof the poets work to pluck the veil
from hidden loveliness. to find language
for the mnttered thoughts; and the world
Is at the present time full of such ambro
sial for the poets soul, and material for
poetry. He who can see no poetry in the
present would never have seen any in the
past, if be had lived in it when it was the
present. In no one of the elements trans
latable into poetry do we find the byc-gonc
time to have been superior. Take, for
example, that physical bravery and Prov
ess in arms celebrated with. such pomp
and pean in the olden epic strains, and
we can find match for it. Think for
moment of that magnificent death-paradc
of tho light cavalry brigade on the heights
of Balaklava, with the fame of which the
world still rings-where some seven hun
dred men, at the word of command, rode.
with bloody spur and unfinching heart,
straight through the gaping gates Of
death, with proud light on their faces,
as though they had caught the smile of the
angel Duty that hovered over them there!
To parallel that ft asst of heroism, we must
60 back to those three hundred Spartans,
who in that summer dawn sat scombing
their long hair for death' in the passes Of
Thermopyl@, and who went there to die
at the command of their country. And
surely more noble daring, more con-
querlng valor, never flashed out in the old
days of Greece and Rome than was mani
Tested at Alma and Inkerman. Nor can
the history of the whole world show an
Instance of sublimer fortitude, or more
glorious courage, than was shown by that
regiment of British soldiers lost with the
ship Bnkenhead When it was known
that the vessel was doomed, and fast sink
ing, the troops were mustered on deck by
command OF their officers. There they
stood to arms, each man by his bayonet,
facing the coming death as calmly as if
they were on parade.

Meet me in the shady nook
Where the shady waters flow.

FIGHT WITH INDIANS IN SHASTA VALLEY!
Two MEN MURDERED ON THE NOUN
TAIN WEST OF YREKA!
On Thursday last, party of sixteen
men under Mr.. Tupper, of Shasta Valley,
fell in with large body of Indians in the
mountain dividing waters of the klamath
and Shasta rivers. After brief engage
ment, and losing one man, the whites were
compelled to retreat.
On Friday, body of Indians were seen
crossing Shasta Valley from the neighbor-
hood where the fight occurred, and sha-
ping their course for Scott river, by the
mountain trail from Scott to Shasta Val
ley. H1aiz3 'aal 1i7a4 io ile.Hom .ajfi aa-
1t is rumored that two men, Mr.. Snow,
of the Klamath river ferry opposite Bsa-
yer creek, and man by the name of
Scott, have been killed on the trail lead
ing from the Mountain House of Doty &
Doyle to the klamath river A party of
25 or 80 started from Deadwood yester-
day to look into the matter. These two
men left the Mountain House on Tuesday
evening last for the ferry On Saturday
Mr.. Doyle went in search of lost animals,
and found papers and a machiere, belong
ing to Mr.. SNOW, cut and torn up, and
other marks of violence These circum-
stances gave rise to the suspicion that both
had been killed.
1t would appear that there is to be no
end to these assassin ations by Indians, un-
less they are removed or exterminated.-l
There was never before known to exist
such universal spirit of hatred and hos
tility towards the whites on the part os the
Indians in northern California and Ore
gon. The fact seems clearly proved by
the dire intelligence daily received from
all quarters, that there is scarcely an In
