SACRAMENTO, Cal Friday July 4, 1856.
In offering for publication a brief account of the
political troubles here it is with the hops that it may
contribute in some degree to the information Of
friends at home" To obtain a correct idea Of the
exciting occurrences Of the last few weeks, it will be
necessary to bear in mind the character Of iRhsbit
ants. California is settled by people from every st.te
in the Union, and they constitute altogether rather
heterogeneous mass. OF those who immgrsted since
the dtcovery Of gold about one fourth are from the
Slave Staies and of these, again, at least one fourth
are from Missouri. With few exceptions, the latter
are of the border kind ard have long been desgra
throughout this country by the name of Pixies"
Pike County meD, owing to the circumstance of their
peeulariues have been buIlesqued, on the stage in
Sacramento at early day. They speak famlis'y the
recent outrages in Missouri and 4nsss and almost TO
justify them. This of course results from esrly
education, or, more properly speaking, from habit, for
education is ling they are little blessed with. You
have inferred th., they Pro Slavery in feeling and
the same " true OF res1ly all c,be- Soutt ten immi

ere therefore 10th 10 penquh their faycfte scheme Of
introducing Slavery, by lawful ans INTO the south

their esoers have constantly entertained that hope is
sbundshty tsbhsbeo by the testimony OF politicians
who have deserted and escaped from party entange-
mepts with them.

The crop of INDIAN CoRs which is probably the
uost important crop produced in the State, likely 10

the intense heat of the last ten days has brought i
forward rapidly, it will require late and favorable
Autumn 70 mature it. In 10 event can l. reach in el-
tent the crop of last year, which IN
amount sno excellence.
WHEAT was never better The growth has bess

any event fall considerably shJrt of average ons

older kinds Of turnip, and are now for the moe! psf

GRASS has never before within my recollection bees
