We are indebted to a friend in this
city, says the Savannah Georgian
for the following extract from pri'
vate letter received by him yesterday
from n patriotic Democrat in New
jersey, one of the trainers of the
Constitution of that State-a man
of years, tottering on the verge oil
the grave, but whose last thoughts,
like those of Jefferson in whose foot
steps be loved to follow, are Of bis
country's honor and welfare. His
words should be received by every
lover of the American Union, especial
ly every citizen upon whom rests the
responsibility of defending the rights
and interests of the South, as words
of affeetioRate warning:
81 hope the Southern people will
act prudentIy and firmly in resisting
the fanatieism of the Eastern Alb
oliiionists. The people Of New Eng
land it seems will never forget their
English attachments and prejudices.
The Puritans Of New England are
Monarchists at heart, and are nothing
more nor less than British emissaries
and British partisans. The negro
question is the plan adopted by the
British Monarchists to destroy this
Republic, by Erst producing a sens
alton. / have my fears least they
should succeed; things look gloomy,
and it requires all the wisdom Of the
friends Of the union prevent q sep
araiiou."

Suggestive Contrest.-Smith Rob
inson, who is said to have robbed
five thousand dollars from an express
train within month, was yesterday
arraigned before the municipal court;
and, of course, he must go to the
State prison for life. w. S. Tucker
man, however, who confessas that he
has stolen two hundred and seventy
thousand dollars from the Eastern
Railroad, walks abroad without in
terruption, aud still enjoys the good
things of this life as we'll as ever.
1t is evident, therefore, that all
persons who mediate robbery should
do it on the largest possible scale

The hioehies Bird.

1t is doubted by many that the
mocking bird will initiate the sound Of
instruments in playing tunes or the
whistling of a man. The other even
ing we had most convincing proof
of the ability CT these wonderful birds
in this regard. A negro boy wss
going along the street, whistiing a
well known Ethiopian melody, and
when he paused, moelSing bird, con-
fined in cage near by, as if emu
lous to surpass his sable rival, burst
forth in the same tune, sndwhistled il
with the finest taste and execution,
throwing in, besides, little operate
quayers and triIis with admirable ef
iects. Il was Certainly the most bril-
liant musical performance in the whist
ling line we have ever heard, and the
tones were az exact imitation of those
of the human animal. At the con-
clusion of th9 air, the bird whiStied
up the dogs, csckled Ike a her, cawed
ike crew, etc, and we puekered up

the gamut, the rara oris quite made

The Albany Transcript states that
as drove OF cattle were day or TWO
ago passing through the streets of
the city, an Irish woman, who keeps a
porter house, seeing al opportunity,
unobserved by the owner, ran out,
and Selling one of tie calves in her
arms, carried it into the house. The
owner, not missing it, passed on with
bis cattle to the south ferry, when he
was spprised of bis loss by a person
who had been watching the move
ments Of the beast. The owner re-
turned aad found the animal safely
slowed away under bed, and the del
icate female in the act of sharpening
a large butcher-knife, as she said to
cut her toe nails with. The man be-
ing in a great hurry, did not wait to
see the operation performed, but took
his property and left.

Total. 90, os6 600 114,5OO, 900

This is apparently the fairest esti-
mate yet published, and yet upon re-
Election it will be seen to be exceed
|ingly unreliable. The census report
of 1850, gives US the statistics of the
crop of 1S49. which was a very short
one everywhere. To make it, there
fore, the basis of an estimate in which
such small increase is allowed in the
chief wheat growing States as the
above table exhibits, is merely to in
dicats that our production has not
kept pace with our population, which
cannot be true. If six years ago,
with very short crop, we yielded
62,0S6,000 bushels, it is quite clear
that an increase of only 22,0OO,O0O
at the present, On a very full harvest,
and with all the advantages of rapid
ly extending area of cultivation, IS a
very poor progress, and rather calcu-
lated to keep up prices, for which, per
haps, the estimate may have been de-
signed.

RENTS IN CALIFORNIA; letter
from San Francisco thus speaks of the
fall of the prices of real estate in that
city, and the consequent reduction in
the incomes of its owners:
The enormous incomes Of some real
estate holders have dwindlea down al
a most rapid and fearful rate, and
though already small, continue to be-
come beautifully less ] am now
moving into house at $40 per month,
which four months since readily
brought Sl15 per month, and fancy
rents have declined at even a greater
ratio. The United States bonded
warehouse, forwhichs6,0 cooper month
was originally paid, would not at this
command one-fourth of that
rate; and under a clause in the lease,
which provides for revaluation of the
rent every two years by disinterested
persons, it viii no doubt at the next
biennial valuation, if proper attention
is paid to the matter by the govern
ment officials, be reduced accordingly.
