The town is improving as fast as bran
new towns and cities did when Califor-
MIA was supposed to be in her palmlest
days-say 40 or 80. Real estate Is
increasing rapidly in value. As soon as
the title to this land is permans ntly set
tied, SO that a person may know where
and how he stands, this m ist be a four
ishing city The Court House and jail
will soon be commenced, as there are
several Brick yards nearly ready 10 fur
nish the material in any quantity for
solid improvements. Well locoted lots
of the size say 80 by so, or 100 feet,
are bringing with, Bird and DowLer's S
title, from 500 to $4,000. Their title
is beginning to be recognized as the only
safe and legitimate one on which to i'm
prove. The squatters are beginning to

The streets are crowded nightly with
strangers. The spirit of speculation in
various kinds of property is at its high
est pitch. Capitalists are brushing up
their wits to be keen-to be smart-aud
look into the future vast d stance,
where they paint to themselves, in glow
ing colors, immense fortunes Saloons
are crowded and brilliantly lighted up,
and seem to invite the miners to enter
and listen to sweet music az they did in
'49. Lawyers arc pitching into one
another without the least care for them
selves, but solely for their clients wei
fare. They are constantly arguing
their nice points before Chief Justice
Jones on mining claims, for or against
squatter sovereignty, as well as many
other questions, over which men alw ay-
have, and still continue to wrang'e. \

RAPE.-For the first time in Butte
County, we believe, we have thing
in the shape Of humanity in our county
jail on charge of an assault with intent
to commit rape upon a child nine years
Of age. His name is Henry Libbman,
aud he was sent mp by Justice Jones of
Oroville. We have noticed lately that
this crime is becoming quite frequent.
What pity the law does not sever the
vile head from the loathsome carcase for
such offcnces. Worse than brutes, and
yot the law does not attach the death

National Fla, II paper published in

"On every hand the people are arous-
ed to the Importance of the coming

at the polls III November, as has never
been witnessed in the State. Black

@r Much has been said recently
about the corruptions in San Francisco,

objected and voted to admit Casey to a

H Fillmore, says the Louisville
Democrat, is an ill-used man by the late
nomination. He is odious to his party
north, can't get their support. On the
other hand, he is popular with his party
South, but the pxrty itselfis too unpop-
ular in this region to do him any good.
So, between his own unpopularity in
the North, and his party's unpopularity
south, he will make poor thing out of
it.D

Nicaragua.

The news from this interesting coun-
try by the last steamer, is somewhat con-
ficting. A very general fear is preva-
lent that Walker has been heaten at
Rivas, hy the troops from Costa Rica,
under Mora, and among whom il is re-
ported, are British emmissaries, with
that effective instrument of war, Sharps'
Rifles. 1t was reported that Walker
had intercepted correspondence which
disclosed the fact that the English au
thorities were furnishing the Costa Ri
can forces with arms. Walkers forces
at last accounts, were at Granada,
whittier they had gone after the battle at
Rivas. The British have given notice
of the blockade of San Juan, and feet
was hourly expected to enforce the no
lice. The great mistake of Walkers
government was in sending The notorious
Parker II. French as minister to Wash
ington. We have always believed that
a respectable minister would have beer
received at Washington, and wher
friendly relations had once been estrb
lished, it is quite probable that Walkers
government would have succeeded ii
sustaining itself-emigration would have
been permitted. and the line of commu.
nication through Nicaragua kept open.
As the matter now stands it is highl,
probable that Walkers government may
prove failure, although it is reported
that the authorities at Washington are
now willing to recognize it. The arriya
Of another steamer will be looked fol

The Proclamation.

At last, Governor johnson has COM
menced the discharge ofhis duty toward
the riotous mob who have overrun the
authorities of San Francisco, by issuing
a proclamation declaring the county of
San Francisco in a state of insurrectlon,
and calling upon the militia of the State
TO sustain the authorities, the constltu-
ton and THE laws This he should have
done some time since but it is "Better
late than never" We trust every per-
son who considers himself a citizen will
sanction and sustain the action of the
Governor. Every person who believes
that laws are necessary in community,
will approve the Governors proclamn-
ton, rnd exert his influence to uphold
the free institutions of our country, and
not permit them TO be irampled upon
BY every breath of passion that visits
the public mind.
The proclamation, which will be found
in another column, calls upon the vol
unteer military companies, and upon the
militia Of the county of San Francisco,
and of the third, fourth and fifth divis-
ions of the State, to report themselves
for duty Immediately to Major General
William T. Sherman.
1t is to be hoped that these rioters
and insurreetionists will now cease their
high handed outrages and disband their
lawless organization. There is but one
course for the constituted authorities 10
pursue, if they do not. There must be
no waverlng nor half way measures now.
The Insurrectionlsis must now dlsband
and yield obedience 10 the laws, or the
authorities and law must SINK into in.ig-
nifeance and consequent contempt In
such q struggle there can be no question
of the ultimate triumph of the legally
constituted authorities. The "VigilaDce
Committee" should speedily disband and
return to their duty, or be as speedily
driven into the Bay, that they may no
longer bring disgrace and infamy upon
our republican government 1t is the
law and the constitution that makes cit
izens. A community faithful in the
discharge of their duties as citizens, can
have no possible occasion for taking the
law into their own hands. Such meas
ures only obtain seeming necessity in
communities where public duty is neg
lected, and private interests'and person
al ambition runs riot
The sword of California is in the
hands of wax-fgure, or this opposition
to constitutional freedom will now re-
ceive check which will convince them
that the duty of Republican citizens. is
far preferable to the lawless acts of an
infuriated mob.
"God give US men! A time like this demands
Strong minds, great hearts, true faith md
ready hands.
Men whom the lust of office does not kill
Men whom the spoils of Office cannot buy;
Men who possess opinion and will;
rbo H.
Men who can stand before demagogne,
And damn his treacherous batteries without
winking;
Tall men, sun-crowd ded, who live above the fog
In public duty and in private thinking.
For while the rabble with their thumb worn
creeds,
Their large professions and their little deeds,
Mingle in selfish strife. 10 ! Freedom weeps,
Wrong rules the land, and waiting justice
sleeps"

s6- Some of the down country pa
pers mention the fact that nearly all oil
the papers opposing the action of the

DEATH OF YANKEE SULLIVAN This
notorious character is no more. He
had been arrested by the Vigilance
Committee, and while in confinem ent
it is said, committed su eide. on the
3lst Of May. Sullivan was low char
acter, and prize fighter. The cause
of his arrest by the committee we have
not seen stated. The following letter
to the State Journal was written by a
San Francisco Physician:
San FRANcIsco, May 81.
This morning, about ten or eleven
O'Clock, we had another tragedy in the
Vigilance rooms. "Yankee Sullivan
it is said, committed suicide by cutting
into the elbow joint of the left arm.
The Coroner asked me into his room, on
Sacramento Street, to see him. After a
good deal of squeezing, through the
crowd ws managed to get in. The dead
man was in coffin. | examined the
arm, and think it must have taken him
nearly an hour to bleed to death. The
brachial artery was severed, together
with the veins, tendons OF the biceps,
and some Of the ligaments of the joint.
1t is matter of query here, why the
Vigilance committee did not call in a
medical man in time or how it was pos
IL C1r
direct line with the first, each going
deeper successfully Such are the
queries. The citize MS are much exc ted
There is no knowing when these TRACE
dies will cease A stranger would think
that hell was let loose in San Franci-co
We have never seen a more ridicu-
lously absurd production than the docu-
ment put forth by the committee as the
confession of Yankee Sullivan. 1t hath
the mysterious wisdom Of the fool. If
the committee have an honest confession
even from the vile and low-lived Yankee
Sullivan why don't they give itregardless it
whose sight it may blast. After the
vile career he has led, it would be sing
uar, indeed, if he should die without
connecting his crimes with some who
have passed for respectable men in COM
munity. If the Vigilance Committee
have developments why do they not
make them public Are they keeping
back names for the purpose of receiving
hush money or to screen favorites

SPEECH OF Mr.. BUcHANAN.-On
Mr.. Buchanan's return to Philadelphia
he was saluted by large concourse of
citizens. In reply to the cheers he

States..- Enthusia.tic applause, and
cries of s,good, Old Buck."l And if
you could feel how despotism looks, how
jealous the despotic powers of the world
are of our glorious institutions, ou

lief in the Christian religion. Ap-

Constitution of your country for earth.

The people of Philadelphia have the
advantage of the people of San Francis
CO. They revere the Constitution
Had Mr.. Buchanan made the same
speech at San Francisco, the Flour
spectators would probably have taken
him to the Vigilance Committee rooms
and hung him.
