Npw YORK, Oct. 13.-The steamship
Georoe Law has arrived, bringing Califor-
mia dates to the Doth, and S2,OOO'OOO in
gold.
The new governor of Panama was to be
;nanourated on the 18th instant. 1t is be-
Eeved this will secure the peace of the 18TH
mus. The U. S. vessels st. Mary'S and
Tndependence, were still at Panama. The
Saratoga was at Aspinwan.
California news is unimportant. Inc
Democrats were endeaveroring to unite all
the imposing factions against the friends OF
the Vigilance Committee. 1t is doubtful
if the scheme succeeds.
FROM NICARAGUA.
The George Law brings Nicaragua dates
to the 22nd. Walker was still at Grana-

QUITE A DISCOVERY.

The Richmond Wing pretends it has
made the great discovery, from the Lam
caster Intelligencer, that Buchanan is not
in favor of the extension of slavery. We
do not remember ever seeing any one who
claimed that he was in favor of the extern
sion; bat what the Democratic party do
affirm of him and can maintain is, that
Buchanan is in favor of permitting the
South 10 enjoy her constitutional rights,
and will protect her in them. This Is all
the South asks and expects of any one.
The Democratic party North and South,
do contend for the principle of letting the
people decide in obedience to the Consti-
tuition, whether they will have slavery in
organizing States or not, no matter what
NAV be the private preferences of any one,
or any section, as to the result of the de-
cisions.
This is all the South asks, and she will
be satisfied with nothing less. This, Buch-
nan is in favor of, and this is all we ask
of any Northern or Southern man.
The Wing finds fault with Breckenridge
because he has enunciated the same prlncl-
pies. 1t would have the South believe
that Breckenridge, of Kentucky. is untrue
to the rights of the South, but the Black
Republicans, Bolts and Henry Winter Davis
are marvelously proper men to be trust
ed by the South. If it is n sin that Is to
condemn Buchanan with Southern men,
that he does not individually prefer seeing
slavery extended, if such be the fact, but is
willing to allow the people to decide for
themselves, whether they will have 1t or
not, then we demand to know whether Fill
more is not condemned by the same stand
ard Is Fillmore in favor of the extension
of slavery
The opposition have been affirming
time and again, that Buchanan is a sec
tional Southern candidate, AID that he will
not be supported at the North because of
his Southern proclivities. But now he is
charged with being a Northern sectional
candidate, because, as the Wing affirms
he is not in favor Of the extension of slave
ry That is the observation-disclosures I1n-
! dicQtOr.

,ru.xrr1,1. rnn SMALL FAroRs..The

THANKFUL FOR SMALL FAvoRs.-The
opposition presses have gone into ecstasies
over the portion of The speech made by
Gov. Floyd in New York. in which the
orator assures his auditory, that if it can be
shown to his satisfaction, that Fremont
cannot be defeated without his vote be
given for Fillmore, that he will vote for
Fillmore and that Virginia will stand at
his back. Hereupon, the Fillmore men
hereabouts throw their caps into the air
and raise a great shout as if Governor
Floyd had pledged himself to vote for Fill
more. 1t so happens, however, that with
this declaration was coupled the orators
avowed belief-a belief which he entertains
in common with all rejecting men of all
parties-that Mr. Fillmore has not the re-
hottest chance of an election, and, conse-
quently, it was tantamount to deciara-
ton that he should not vote for Fillmore, as
he most undoubtedly will not. Why, then,
it may be asked, did he make the remark
at all ! He was arguing to show that the
Union was menaced by the Black Repub-
licans; that their triumph would ensure
the immediate dissolution of the Union, and
that it was, therefore, the duty of all men
who love the Union, to unite upon James
Buchanan for tie purpose of saving the u
MON. 1t was almost q logical necessity of
the line of argument which he had adopted,
that he should avow his willingness to
vote for any man. who was nominated by a
party claiming nationality, who could de-
feat the nominee of an avowedly sectional
party. SO much the declaration of Gov.
Floyd means and nothing more, and if
there be comfort in that to the Fillmore
men in the South, they are welcome to it.

AN ILLEGAL RULER.-The Paris cor
respondent of the New York Herald refers
to what he calls the strange stories told a.
bout Napoleon the Thirds illegitimacy.-
He says it is by many believed that he has
no Bonaparte blood in his veins, but, though
there is no resemblance in the Emperor's
feature to the other members of the Bona
parte family, the correspondent says he is
so like them in his walk and general car
riage, that without consanguinity it would
be difficult to understand it. Whilst in
the rural districts no doubt is entertained
of the Emperor's Legitimacy, no one about
the court has the slightest faith in it.
Napoleon III. is understood to be the
son of German Admiral. His cast of
countenance and temperament are eminent
ly German. Although the evidence which
establishes his paternity is entirely indie
pendent of these circumstances. The il
legitimacy of the Emperor is of course no
discredit to himself, unless his own conduct
is in keeping with the delinquencies of his
progenitors.

The HEMP CRoP.-The last Lexington
(Me.) Citizen says:

and if the winter proves favorable, the arti-
Gle will be unusually good. There will be
some short hemp, but the lint is every

ARoYAL MArTREss.-The ex-King Louis
Of Bavaria, who recently attained his
seventeen year, was, a few days ago, waited
on at his chateau at Ludwigshade, in the
Palatinate, by deputation from Strasburg,
in which place he was born, who paid their
respects to him on the occasion. The
King received them most kindly, promised
to visit their city, and related to them a
curious circumstance. At the time of his
BIRTH in August, 1886, his father, who was
then only Prince DIES Deux Points, COM
manded the Alsace regiment in the service
of France, which was in the garrison at
Strasburg; and, a few days after the birth,
he was astonished to see that all his
grenadiers had cut off their boards and
moustaches. On inquiring why they had
done SO, one of the men stepped forward
and said that they had determined to beg
his acceptance of a velvet mattress for the
newly-born prince, and that they had stuffed
it with their boards and moustaches u
have the mattress still" cried the King, "and
will show it to you" The mattress was
produced and the King added, 81 do not
think that there is in the world bed which
can be called more strictly military thar

SIR CHARLES NAPIER IN CRONsTADT.
Sir Charles Napier has returned to Eng
land, and has sent notes on the strength of
Cronstadt to morning paper. He writes :
IF 50 sail of the line. and $4,000 men
in steamers, were to attempt an attack, it
might just possibly succeed provided they
did not sink ships between Menschikoff and
Cronslott, and our ships did not take the
ground in going in. 1t would be necessary
for the leading ships to anchor against the
batteries. Those following should go in
and break the boom. If they succeeded
we would probably Overpower the fleet, and
the steamers would land the troops Oh
the sea wall. If we failed in breaking the
boom there would be great confusion, and
there is no knowing what would happen.
II would also be necessary to have a strong
reserve to take the place of the ships against
the batteries, if they failed in silencing
| them, which is more than probable. If all
went right, Cronstadt would be taken; and
if all went wrong, the feet would be lost.
: No one, I think except the Times, would
have tried Cronstadt.'

Where he is, there is paradise; where she
is not, there is desert. Her smile inspires
love, and raises human nature nearer to the
immortal source of its being. Her sweet
and tender heart gives life and soul to dead
and senseless things. She is the ladder by
which we climb from earth TO heaven. She
is the practical teacher Of mankind, and the
world would bv a void without her. She
is more celestial than terrestrial
.being-charming and amiable as a girl
dutiful as a wife, and glorious as mother.
She is the balsam of mans life-his
faithful counsellor and pillow. She can
impart all the pleasures to his cares of
friendship, all the enjoyment of sense and
reason, and all the sweets of life"
