CALIFORNIA.

The lest Isthmus steamer brings important
news from California.
The California Democratic State Convention
have nominated Hon. j. B. Weller, as candi.
date for Governor, and the Republican State
Convention Hon. Edward Staniy, as candidate
for the same Office. The other Democratic
nominees are-for Comptroller, J. W. Mande-
vile; for Treasurer, Thomas Findley; for
Judge Of the Supreme Court, Stephen J. Field
for Surveyor General, II. A. Higley for State
Printer, j ohm O'Meara.
Mr.. Stanly, the Republican nominee for
Governor, was formerly a member of Congress
from North Carolina. He at once accepted
the nomination, and went to stumping, taking
strong ground in favor Of Republican prnci.
pies. For Supreme Judge, the Republicans
have nominated Nathaniel Bennett, of San
Francisco. He was one of the first Judges
that sat on the California supreme bench, which
position he -esicned in 1851. The other nom.
inees on the same ticket are-L:eutenant Gov
ernor, D. ". Cheeseman; Com ptroller, DR.. Lewis
c. Gum; Treasurer, Leland Stanford; Attorney
General, A. A. Sargent; State Printer, B. F.
Mendack, of the San Jose Telegraph.
A State Nominating Convention of the
American party has been called, to convene at
the capital. 1t is surmised by some that no
nomination for Governor will be made. but. bv
others, that fall American ticket Will be pre-.
sented to the people for their safrages.
A handsome service of silver plate was pre-
sented to the Hon. Milton S. Latham, by his
numerous personal and political friends, and
the attaches of the custom.hoase during his col,
lectorship.
We gather the following item, respecting the
Democratic State nominees in California, from
an exchange:
All the nominees, with the exception of
Field, have ever been bitterly opposed to Brod.
erick. Field who has deservedy an enviable
reputation, both man and lawyer. is a
brother of David Dudley Field, Of New York.
he has ever, until lately, been one of Broder
ick's warmest personal and political friends.
Last January, he was candidate against G win
for United States Senator; Broderick inter
fered. afier entering into compact with Gwin.
and Field was defeated. They have not been
friendly since, so that il may Justly be said
that the whole ticket is Gieeply anti. Frederick.
So the Democracy of California have not en-.
dorsed him -

New sugar plantations ;are starting in the
Islands. We quote:
+" 1t is cheering to Learn, amid the general
dullness of all kinds of business, that two new
and extensive sugar plantations are about being
commenced, both of them to be located in or
near Hilo, on Hawaii. One estate will consist
of about $500 acres, owned by Messrs. Samsing
x Co.; the other is about 900 acres, owned by
Messrs. Utai d Co. Botl these firms have
long been resident Chinese merchants, and are
possessed of ample capital to introduce all the
recent improvements and carry on the business
with profit. Hlo possessed many advantages
for the successful manufacture of sugar, and is
destined to become the most important sugar.

The river on its pebbled rim,
Made music such as childhood knew:
The door-ysrd tree was whispered through
BY voices such as cialdhood's ear
Had heard in moonl;ghts long ago.
And, through the willow boughs below
She saw the rippled water shine;
Beyond, in waves of shade and lisht
The hills rolled off into the night,
Sweet sounds and pictures, hooking so
The sadness Of her human lot
She saw and heard, but needed nos.
she strove 10 drown her sense OF wrong,
And, in her old and simple way,
To teach her bitter heart 10 pray
Poor child! the prayer begun in faith
Grew TO low, despairing cry
Or utter misery: Let me die,
Oh! take me from the scornful eyes
And hide me where the cruel speech
And mockng finger may not reach,
u dare not breathe my mothers name;
A daughters night dare no, crave
To weep above her unbiest grave.
"Let me not live until my heart
With few 10 pity, and with none
To love me hardens into stone
"Oh God have mercy on Thy child,
Whose faith in Tnee grows weak and small,
And take me ere lose il ALL"
shadow the moonlight fell
And murmuring wind and wave became
A voice whose burden was her name
Had then God heard her, Had He sent
His angel down, In flesh and blood,
Before her Esek Harden stood,
He laid his hand upon her arm:
Dear Mabel, this no more shall be;
Who SCOTS al you, must scoff at me.
You know rough Esek Harden well;
And if he seems sulor gay,
And If his hair is touched with gray,
The maiden grown shall never find
His heart less warm than when she smiled.
Upon his knees, a little chld!n
Her tears OF grief were tears ofjoy,
AS, folded in his strong embrace,
She looked in Esek Harden's face.
ooh, uuest friend of all :" she said,
GOD bless you for your kindly thought
And make Inc worthy Of my lott"
He led her through his dewy fields,
To where the swinging lanterns glowed
And through the doors the huskers showed
"Good friends and neighbors!" Esek said,
I'm weary OF This lonely life
In Mabel see my chosen wife,
. She greets you kindly, one and all;
The past Is past, and all offence
Falls harmless from her innocence
"Hencefor,h she stands no more alone;
You know what Esek Harden is
He brooks no wrong to him or his"
Now let the merrest tales be told,
And let the sweetest songs be sung,
That ever made The old heart young!
For now the lost has found home;
And a lone hearth shall brighter burn,
AS all ITS household joys return.
Oh, pleasantly the harvest moon,
Between tie shadow of the mows,
Looked them through the great elm boughs.
On Mabels curls OF golden hair,
On Esek's shaggy strength it fell;
And the wind whispered, at is WE'LL"
