Governor Johnson and the 'Insurrection
Proclamation.

We are inclined to commisSerate the con-
dition Of our Executive. And although it
is unmiStakably his duty to withdraw his alb
surd proclamation, we are willing to spare
him that humiliation, especially since the is
sue of his election manifesto, in which he has
magnanimously included San Francisco
His self-denal in thus abstainlng from dis
franchsing the citizens of our county is wor-
thy of some reward and as the mSurrectlon
proclamation was never legally issued, ii is
perhaps quite as we'll that it should not be
withdrawn. No man likes to cat his own
words, and our Governor has had to stom-
ach so many hard sayings of Others in She
past five months, that we would fain spare
| him the process of rumination over his own.
Let those who differ from us picture to them
selves the spectacle that would be presented
bv this unfortunate official in complying
with the demand in question. Imagine him
diSbandng an army that never was actually
organized thanking law and murder cham
mons for services never rendered congratu-
latiny them on their defeat, and good cti-
zens on their victory over the Governor
rejoicing in the accumulation Of the blessing
of State debt All our Executive desires
is to be left alone, and perhaps IN the graft
tude born of such favor, he may youch-
safe us a Thanksgiving proclamation, espe-
cally if he b not required to participate in
any other portion of the ceremonies of such
a festival than those of guStatory charac-
ter. The past few months has been try
ing time for men of weak nerves and strong
proclivtieS to laundering and no one can
deny Gov. johnson these attributes, who
estimate his character from his official acts.
TO leave him then to the full enjoyment at-
forded him in retrospect Of the past, and
allow him All opportunity for reformation i'll
the portion of his official term yet remain
ing, would be no strainng of mercy, and we
hope our brethren of the press will unite in
granting him such favor. They can af-
ford to be magnanimous to a ayanqulshed foe.

Love my Baby, Mother
BY MRS. VI. J. PHILLIPS.

BY MRS. NJ. J. PHILLIPS.
A priceless jewel, mother dear,
to your care have given,
The one my father sent to me
From his bright home in hcav'n.
The little cherub that awhile
Was pillowrd on my breast;
But now within your gentle arms
Has found place of rest.
Oh cherish him with fondcst care,
For, like tender flow'r
He needs loving. watchful eye,
To guard him ev'ry hour
To shield each ruthless wintry blast
From off his sunny head.
Or he may close his baby ewes,
And sleep among the dead.
Then love my baby, mother dear,
And teach him oft to say
My name. so he will not forget
Me. tho I'm far away.
Oh often kiss his baby check
As would, were | near.
And love him, just as we'll as you
Love me, my mother dear.
And when his little chubby hands
Are full of roguish fun,
And he. perchance in innocence,
Some mischief dire has done,
Oh do not harshly check him then,
Nor chide his childish glee
But love my baby, mother dear,
As well as you love me.

NY Mother.

Thrills through the heart.when touched the shsrtt
Inc strain that mcmory's harps evoke,
And Fancy with her golden wings
Her bright eyed attributes convoke
Back through the varied past the mind
Flies, as u bird of gentle wing
Resting on all the sunny spots
Thas memory DER the heart may fling,
Nor magic wand nor painters skill
Can deck with gorgeous colors more.
The sunlight pictures, which the mind
In retrospcction can restore;
And soft ming Influences come hack
TIL the rapt souls cntranced in bliss
The roseate hours of time tly by,
And woo us to forgetfalncss.
The dream land beauties of the past
Id with the brightcyed present blend
And wreathc garland for thy brow.
Mother my truest earthly friend
Through the bright vista Of the past,
My young life owns thy care-none other;
And all of good my young heart knows
Was planted there by thee, my mother!

Az UNCOMMON OCcURRENcE.-ThcA A lba-
ny hnicherbocker says a very singular affair
occurred in the Court of General Sessions,
at the late term A woman was brought up
and arraigned before her own brother, who
was on the bench, on charge of keeping II
house of prostitution. The brother sat mo-
tionless as marble, and stern and nhexble
as the Roman father who passed the sen
tence of death on his own SON The woman,
though old in crime, and lost to shame, was
so overcome by the scene that, on reaching
her seat, she wept burning tears. 1t is a
scene that is rarely witnessed, and We hope
never to see the like again.

TAKING THE HlNr.-They tell good cler-
cal anecdote of an eccentric clergyman in
Massachusetts, which may not be without
its influence in places where they do not
think enough of the Supreme to keep His
House of Worship in repair:
a ncghboring minister, with whom he
was about to exchange, said to him, know
ing. as he did, the peculiar bluntncss of his
character
You will find some panes of glass broken
in the pulpit window, and possibly you may
suffer from the cold The cushion, too, is
in bad condition but | beg of you not
to say any thing to my people on the subject
they aro poor, and can't help it.
"O Oh no oh no y was the reply.
But before the minister left home he
filled bag with rags, and took it with him
When he had been in the pulpit short
time, feeling somewhat incOmmoded by the
too free circulation Of air, he deliberately
took from the bag a handful or two of rags,
and stuffed them into the window Toward
the close of his discourse, which was more
or less upon the duties OF a people toward
their clergymen, he became very animated,
and pnrposeIy brought down both fists with
tremenduous force upon the pulpit cushion.
"Thc feathers flew in all directions. He
instantly checked the current of his thoughts,
and simply eXclaiming, Why, how these
feathers fly = proceeded with his sermon.
" His end was accomplished He had
fulfilled his promise of not addressing the
society on the subject, but he had taught
them q lesson which was not to he misunder-
stood. They tOok the hint; for on the next
Sabbath the window and the cushion were
found in excellent repair, much to the sur
prise Of the resident minister"

The FAMOUS ElorEMENT.-The \. Y. cor
respondent of the Golden Era, in recent
letter, says
Your readers will probably remember
the story of Miss Maxwell the daughter of
Hugh Maxwell the Collector Of the Port
of the city of New York, who elopcd to Par
is with Major Kearney, of California celeb
rity. The brother has lately tracked them
to Rouen, where she had just given birth to
an infant lie prevailed upon the unhappy
girl to return home with him to New York,
and they are expected by the next steamer.
Now. what on earth could possess a young,
beautiful girl to elope with a man Old ugly,
with only one arm, and already married, is
one of those mysteries which woman alone
could solve. 1t is said they met originally
in Paris, and he joined their party and trav-
eled on the Continent with them but the
Hason did not commence till after their re-
turn to New York, when finding that it must
become known, they fled to Paris, aud from
thence to Ron en-, where they were dlscoy-
cred"

WHY DO They "A lady correspondent Of
the Pacific, who has been present at we'd

"We have had wedding within twenty
miles of here, since wrote you. had pic
tured to myself young and hushing bride
with fair hair aud blue eyes-arrayed in sim-
pIc flowing white with orange buds, &c
Bat was never farther from the reality
The bride was dressed in stiff, costly silk
which was overturned with expensive lace
Why do pretty country lassies spoil theil
natural beauty of face and figure by apinq
city fashions No dress is more becoming
bride than plain inexpensive white, anC
natural flowers are the only ornaments tina
should be used"

A REAL CoLLEGE-The printing g-ofllce has
indeed proved better college to many a
boy-hus graduated more useful and CON
spicuous members of society-has brought
more intellect out and turned it into pactlca
useful channels, awakened more minds, gen
Grated more active and elevated thought
than many of the literary colleges of the
country.
How many a Ounce has passed through
these colleges with no tangible proof OF Mt
ness other than hisinanmate piece Of parch-
ment,-himscIf if possible, more iIanllnate
than his diploma !
A boy who commences in such school
as the printing office, will have his talents
and ideas brought out and, if he is care
full observer, experience in his profession
will contribute more towards an education
than can be obtained in almost any other
manner.

The EFFIGY Outrage On Sunday morn
Ing last, an cfligy was found hanging in front
of the church Of the Rev DR.. Scott Mon
day being steamer day one Of the law aud
murder organs of the city howlcd pitcousIy
over the deed for the benefit Of readers at
the East As if aware Of the bnscucSs Of
its charges, it did not venture to attribute
the act to the Vigilance Committee as II
body, and in fact made Il very lame effort in
attempting TO fastcn it on any members Of
the organization The only result from the
publication Of the Iabored Slandcr was u con
vctiOn in the minds of nine-t tcmths Of the
community that the outrage was n plot on
the part Of the law and murdcrlings got up
for affect at the East and subsequent events
strengthen such a CONCLUSION. There has
been no reward offered by " law and order
supporters for the discovery Of the pcrpe-
traitors Of the outrage, aud since the sailing
Of the steamer, the journal in question has
had little to say on the subject On the 9th
er hand, large rewards have been offered
and every means taken to bring the often
ders to punishment We are glad to learn
that copies Of the Ereatng BWict,a were is
sued in time to be placed ON board The steam
er, which TINS carried the antdote " tn the
bane, The trick is worthy Of the party
with which it originated, and its success is
quite an undiscOverabe aS that attendent on
former efforts by the same faction 1t is to
be hoped that in the failure Of this latest
dodge" the law and murderlngs Will be
sufficiently discouraged TO secure their alb
stinence from any such attempts in the fu-
ture At any rate, if the tools who have
been used in this Infamous work can be dis
covered, they will meet punishment which
will prevent any future achievements in their
peculiar line within the borders Of this State.

THE ABsENT-Of all the exercise of the
unfettcred mind, perhaps none is attended
with n more benign influence, than that o
indulgng in kind remembrance ofthe absent
Every loving word that fell from the lips
of the absent, is treasured with tenderness
Each kind act is rccolected with affection
We look forward to a meeting with uncloud-
ed happiness
Have we parted in anger? time sofcns
us into indifference, at length into quiet
acknowledgment of past friendship. Have
we parted in silence or estrangement This
too, wears away, and we meet again to for
get the past in future communonS. Have
we parted in grief the sorrow is mutually
borne, and tenderly consigned to the corner
of our hearts devoted to the absent Sharer.
Have we parted in love? No joy so
great as the remembrance of it--no event so
delightful or sacred as the reunion.

AGRIcuLruRE.-The True Cahforaion-
inspired by the agricultural Fair-and the
desire of settling down upon some sweet
little spot in the valley of the GaUdalope, the
Napa, or the Buenavcntura." thus glorifies
agriculture
Boast as we may about Our cXhanstless
mines and our splendid harborS, these are not
the true glory of California.
"For trades proud empire hastcns to swift de-
cay,
As Ocean SWEEP the labored mole away
But selfdcpendent power can Time defy,
As rocks resist the pillows and the sky"
Commerce, at best, is transient, and min
eral wealth seldom enriches the natives of
the soil from which it is dug Eventually,
too it must give out, although in this State
centuries will perhaps elapse before our gold
and quartz mines will cease to be worked
Still such time must come, and we should
remember that the toiler in the mines, even
in our day, is essentially non-producer,-
He takes out a crop once, but the soil hence
forward, for the same purpose, is valueess
forever Whereas the farmer annually reaps
his haryests, aud pays back to his mother
earth in the winter and spring part of what
she bestows upon him in the autumn. There
is no sowing and reapmg gold dust once
gathered it is gone forever. 1t was once
said by philosopher, that he is the great
est bcnefactor of his race who makes two
blades of grass grow where only one grew
before :" and there can be no question: we
imagine, between the real and innate dlgnl-
tv of the several employments to which our
race may devote themselves. In all the ele-
ments of solid independence, the farmer is
mmeasurably ahead of them all"
