The WAig quotes the opinions Of certain Norfolk
papers upon Mr.. wise's speech IN that cty-and
deduces the conclusion that, 70 far az effect was

clusion of an alliance between the Wings and Know

not in the archives of government State paper

says of the Administration Of Mr.. Pierce: "ln his

The editress Of the Ladies' Reposi-
itory. just started at Richmond. talks
"like n book" all about kissing, and
will find many subscribers to her no
tons on this subject, if not to her Re-
pository:
"Kisses are an acknowledged insti-
tuition. 1t is as naturalf or folks to like
them, as it is for water to run down
down hill, except when itisso cold
that it freezes and cant run at ALL
Kisses. like faces of philosophers, va
ry. Some are hot as coal fire, some
sweet as honey, some as mild as
milk, come, tastelees as loRg drawn
soda. Stolen kisses are said TO have
more nutmeg and cream than any 9TH
er sorts. AS to proposed kisses, they
are not liked at all. We have made
it our business to inquire among our
friends, and they agree with us. that a
stolen. kiss is the most agreeable
that is, If the theit Is made by the right
person. Talk of shyness and strug-
gling-no wonder, when some bipeds
approach! it is miraculous that some
ladies don't 60 into convulsions. We
do not speak altogether from expert
ence, but from what we have heard
others say. We have been kissed a
few times, and as we are not very
old. we hope to receive many more.

u. S. land commissioners have exam
med and rejected the most Of them.
They have confirmed afew. The peo-
pie believing the Spanish titles to be
worthless, have taken possession and
improved nearly all these lands that
were valuable. Amongst these claims
some were thought to be more worth
less than that Of Col. Fremont. The
Commissioner did the same. but the
Supreme Court Of the United States
has confirmed the title. They have
also confirmed others that were equal
ly questionable. These decisions set
tie others of similar character, and
the consequence will be that nearly
all the rich lands Of this State
will be placed in the hands of
heartless, monopolizing speculaors.
Already millions Of dollars have
been invested in improvements mp
on thess lands by bona .Jsde settlers,
but all is lost, or, at least, subject to
the soiH of these agrarian Shylocks.-
Several years must necessarily elapse
before the final decision, of the highest
tribunal can be rendered upon the 800
landgrants ofthis country. Consequent
ly we cannot have permanent and en-
terprising citizens. Thousands will
leave the country, WHO would much
prefer to remain, if safe investments
could be made in the purchase and
improvements Of lands.
Bishop Andrew (of the Church
South) is now in this city. He
brought only two ministers with him,
but small supply, if they intend to
keep up al organization on this c,ast.
About one third Of the ministers of
that church, which have been trans
ferred to this country, have already re-
turned to their homes or located. -
Their prospects here are truly dark.
Their conference Lieets, the present
week in Sacramento. We expect Bish-
op Baker in. a few days, with NUN
ber of ministers-as our conference
will meet the 10th prorino, in this
city. Our field is inviting-work
enough and hard enough-and the
pay, little enough and hard enough to
get. None but those who have rug
ged health ought to itinerate in Cali
fcrnia. II. @. BENSON.
p. S.-Our Legislature will adjourn
on the 30th inst. They have no,
elected U. s. Senator, and will not.
The democrats are in the majority,
but divided between Gwinn and Bod
derrick. The Wings are united but in
the minority. Gwinn is n Southerner,
a duelist. and gambler. and is a
doomed man. The day is past for
such politicians in California. Gov.
Bigler and others are worthy of a seat
in the Senate, but blacklegs must go
further TO find promotion. B.

MANCHESTER, Ind May l2, 1855.

Mr. EpIToR:-The friends.of tenn
perance, and OF our new Prohibitory
Law held meeting at Lawrenceburg,
on the llth inst. for the purpose OF
celebrating on the best course to pur-
sue in carrying out and enforcing the
provisions Of the law.
In view of the fact that all of our
County Commissioners are old line
democrats and opposed 10 the law, and
as they have thel appointing of
the agents throughout the county
for the purpose Of selling liquors. and
have it in their power to allow exorbi-
tant salaries to said agents, If so dis
posed and therefore saddle an unncces-
sary tax on the county for the pur-
pose of breaking down the law and ma
king it odious, it was thought best to
obtain the names Of good men TO each
township who would be willing
to take the agency for fair compensa-
tion, and comply strictly with the pro.
visions of the law. and present those
names with their proposals to the COM
missioners prior to the time for the ap.
pointment of said agents. There was
ccoidingly a committee of two ap-
pointed in each township in the coun.
ty, whose drty it is to hunt up such
men as can be relied upon that wo'ld
take the agency at fair consideration
for their services and report at another
meeting to be held at Lawrenceburg,
Oh the 9th Of June next, at which
meeting committee will be appointed
to take the names reported and lay
them before the commissioners, as their
Court will be in session at that time.
1t was also advised that Leagues" be
formed throughout the county for the
purpose Of raising funds if they should
be needed TO enforce the observance
of the law.
There was some doubt expressed as
to whether the law will prohibit the
manufacture Of liquors If sold out of
the State, and a committee was ap-
appointed to obtain counsel on that
point. that there might be unanimity
in their course in enforcing the law.
Ii was determined TO have a general
rally Of the friends Of the law on the
12th of June, at Aurora, when and
where they will give a clear and une-
quivocal expression of their purposes
to enforce the observances of the law.
l understand that the distillery at Ri
sing Sun has gone down, and the own
ers report themselves "failed," and
that those at Lawrenceburg are sha-
ping their course to wind up within
the limits Of the statute, but Gafis, at
Aurora, are determined to disregard
and resist the law, and report says
that they have employed Judge Hol-
man our ex-would-be- Congressman
and Haynes. as their attorneys.-l
Brave men, these Gaffs, they are un-
willing to give up their murderous bu-
siness. though the laws of the State
say they shall, and now for the fght.
Holman doubtless will plead hard for
them, all his sympathies are with
them, and then the "big fee." Oh!
what a spirit both would infusc in
to this mighty n.anl BIT the strong
will find a stronger. All that money
and whiskey and sympathies with
them can do will be done to trample
down and render nugatory of the wis
est and most merciful enactment ever
passed by our State Legislature

STOCKTON, CAL, April 16, 1856.

Il. A. GooDwIS:-After silence oI
several months, will againIwrite few
items from this "iairy land" 0ul
latter rains. which have been unusually
copious, are just CLOSING up"-crops
are quite promising-wheat, barley,
grass, Vegetable will be abundant
Yon need not send us any more Of your
productions, as we are quite able to
take care of ourselves.
Our Legislature continues to drag
its slow length along, without accom-
plishing any wonderful works. A law
has Just passed both houses. for the
suppression Of gambling and houses OF
i'll fame. Of its provisions / cannot
speak. Several weeks ago IL prohibi-
tory liquor law passed the house,
with an amendment TO tolerate the
manufacture and sale of native mines.
This is not what the people demand,
but it will open the WY for more
stringent law. But up to date, the
Senate has done nothing with the bill,
and probably will not. In one year
more temperance men will be in pow
er in this State. The "Sons" now
number one hundred and fifty Divi-
sions: and are increasing very rap
dily in all parts of the State. The
best and the most talented men in all
the professions are coming IN. We
have two active Divisions in this city,
and will probably have another soon.
The mines are yielding finely where
there is sufficiency of water. The
past winter has been too dry, however,
for profitable mining. in many sections.
Times continue hard, and property is
declining. Already real estate in San
Francisco and other prominent towns
have declined from fifty to seventy-fve
per cent. The uncertainty of the land
titles still greatly retards the prosperi-
ty Of the Of the agricultural portions of
the State. The recent decisions of the
Supreme Court at Washington, will
greatly affect the interests Of Califor-
mia, blasting the prospects of thou
sands of the permanent citizens of this
country. As soon as Upper Califor-
mia. became apor.ion of the Union,
