Affairs in California.

The intelligence from California.
says the St. Louis Republican, is oil
ia very disoouraging, not to say
|alarming, character. The legal
government Of The commercial capi-
Ioi, San Francisco, is at end. The
city is in the hands of a self.consti-
tuted tribunal of 1880 ciiizeus-
men of responsibility, and many of
wealth-but the question begins to
be agitated, there as well as elsewhere,
whether they can control the storm
which they have raised We have
seen private letters giving faithful
narratives Of all the incidents of this
revolt, and we are apprehensiye that
it isnot in the power of the commit
tee, or of those who attempt to
control its action, 10 prevent great
excess from being committed. Pr
vate malice is likely to come in to
the aid OF public duty, and where
this is case great outrases are almost
certain to follow. The Governor is
powerless in the administration Of
the law, and everything is in the
hands of an irresponsible, self.appoint-
ed committee. No State has ever
before presented an instance Of so
prostration Of all law, aud
it will be fortunate if the next steam
er brings us IA account of the res
toration of the legitimate govern
ment, without serious conflicts be-
tween the various parties in San
Francisco. If persisted in much
longer, it must operate TO the serious
injury Of property and business in
California, besides setting an exam
pie which is likely to have a baneful
influence in other States.

A WONDERFUL FAcr.-There is liv-
ing in Kentucky, about two miles from
Cincinnati, a German woman, the
mother of three children, aged re-
spectiyely about twenty-four. twelve,
and three months, all Of whom she
has nursed at the breast from their
birth; one OF the most remarkable ca
ses, physiologically, to be found, as we
believe. One other circumstance is
to be added. With the national taste
for beer, she is obliged to abstain from
the beverage, because the use of it
makes more milk than the three sue
cessive babies can consume. Oul

TENNESSEE WHEAT.--The New

article on the Wheat and Corn crops
Of this year, speaks thus Of Tenn
eseee Wheat:
"In Tennessee the yield now being
harvested is large and Of excellent
quality. Tennessee wheat has given
great satisfaction in this market.
But little Southern grain has come to
us in such good order, or shown in
its preparation more honest, careful
husbandry. A large proportion of
it has been red, but the grain is
plump, and in the quality very uni
form. 1t has been quite a fsvorite

BUCK AND BROCK.
AIR-Dan Tucker,


Old Buck and Breck are in the field,
Old Buck the sword knows how to WELD;
The enemy in ambuscade
Thinks to shun his piercing blade.
Get out the way, Fremont and Dayton
Buck will send you all to Satan.
Young Sammy's health is on decline,
His friends his health try to refine,
But Sammy's gone the Doctors fear,
Before the coming of another year.
Good by, Sammy, your life's over.
Satan's imps around you hover.
Sammy's death was brought about
By noxious vapors, without doubt;
In '55 twas his delight
To roam about all times Of night.
Death has Sammy in embraces
Bats return to your hiding places.
Old Buck and Breck will come out bold,
Their principles they viii unfold,
And show Fillmore and Donelson
Thai tits no use for them to run.
Gentry's dead and Fillmore dying,
Greely's sick and Brownlow's lying
Sammy's friends, you know they swors
To vote for foreigners no more.
And Catholics they do despise,
Because the Pope is going to rise.
Go on, Sam, with that delusion.
You'll not create much confusion.

Secret societies or ganized in Missouri and
Kansas to force slavery into that Territory.
Where sleep the thunders of the Black
Democracy against secret political societies
now! All the charges against Free State
men, that they were organized to resist the
laws, are proven without foundation. And
now, at last, We have despatch saying that
the city of Lawrence is destroyed and some
more lives lost. In the name of outraged
justice, when will these things cease.
