From the Chicago Tribune, Aprc.f1:
Governor Geary,s FOrthcOniing
Book,

OettEyso
Book.
We are told by q Democrat of unques-
toned faithfulness to his party, himself a
Governor, that in a lats conversation with
Gov. Geary he learned that that Gentle
man is preparing from his diary, faitnluhy
kept during bis administration, a summary
o fevents in Kansas, as they came under nls
own personal or official observation: we
ara told bv the same authority that in that
boob. when il is given to the country, the
.Ilecst;ons of the Republican journals in re-
lat;on to the fendish atrocities practised
mon the free State men by the border ruff
fan inyders, will be not only confirmed but
proved. wM be stated that during a
trip on a much frequented road, soon ef
ter has GrriUal in the territory, Governor
Geary saw the bodies of twenty-siz
dered free State men.
Some of these had been shot or Drained
and thrown out by the roadside to rot un-
der a burning sun. Others had been scalp
ed as Indians scalp their yictimes. One
was pinioned to a tree by q bowie-knife
driven through his heart into the solid
wood at his back, and on his breast was
fastened a written warning to all other alb
~elitionists- Some were buried Just be-
meath the prairie sod, their hands and arms
left sticking u of the shallow holes into
which they had been thrown. Upon 9th
ers, the nameiess mutilations Of private
parts, which characterize the ferocious JOY
of the Indian in the moment of victory,
bad been committed. In all classes, Bru-
tally seemed to have exhausted itself in In
sulting what among all civilized men
whether friend or foe, are looked upon
with respect-the bodies of the dead.
Had these things appeared in the letters
detailing events in Kansas between May and
November last the journal publishing
them would have been suspected of exag-
geration, even by its W political friends;
and more than one of the atrocities which
the Governor will describe was written out
by faithful correspondents for our columns,
but We refused publication, for the reasons
alleged above.

LEcTUREs.-The first Lecture of ;

LEcTUREs.-The first Lecture of a
course was read at the Methodist Church
by A. A. Sargent Esq, on Monday even
ing. to large audience, quite a large
number of ladies being in attendance
The lecture was on the Life and Times OF
Martin Luther-a theme out of which
that spirit can not be evoked to please
California audience. We are SO ac-
customed to excitement Lecture must
be such as to contain striking points OF
it fails to come up to expectation. Mar
tin Luther has had many eulogists. The
ground has been gone over so often, and
so thoroughly CLEANED that scarcely a
kernel is left for a nowadays admirer
of the great reformer. He has only to
Gull from the store others have garnered
the choicest fruits and place them in a
new if possible and attractive form. Mr..
Sargent reduced all of prominence that
is known of Martin Luther to small
conpass, summed up his character con-
cisely, and left the father of Protestant
ism no worse off than lie found him.
The lecturer gave his hearers multum in
parco which is all that can be expected
from like subjects. Notwithstanding
the difficulty of the subject the lecturer
did himself ample justice, treating the
subject in lucid and able manner. The
reading occupied precisely an hour and
was listened to with close attention.
Wednesday evening the second Lee
ture of the course was read by d. Bel
den, Esq, at the same place. The au-
dience was somewhat larger than on the
former occasion, attracted probably by
the peculiarities of the lecturer and his
subject "Frills." The subject was
treated in ricl and racy manner. high
ly edifying to the assemblage who tes-
tilted a marked appreciation by repeated
applause. We have seldom seen an
audience better pleased. The lecturer
had taken good care to put in few
popular local hits that suited the time
and occasion exactly, and did not fail
to bring down the house. The lecture
throughout was marked by streakS of
humor of the most risible quality.

PUBLIC EXECUTIoNs.-At the execu-

PUBLIC EXECUTIoNS.-At the execu-
ton Of three men at Sonora last Friday
one man fell into hole on his return to
town from witnessing the spectacle, an
other was killed through the influence of
rum which is always freely used on such
occasions; besides the poor besotted indi-
vidual who has taken the life of his fell
low, has endangered his own. These
are not the only evil effects of that spec
tacle. Women and children assembled
to see the horrid sight Philosophers
tell us such exhibitions have a most de-
leterious influence upon the young and
especially upon females. They are rem
dered callous by familiarity with vio
lence and blood. The qualities of the
parent are transmitted to offspring and
thus a second crop is raised for the gal
lows. The evil of public executions is
generally acknowledged by men who
have given the subject attention. In
older States legislators recognize the
evil and Danish it from the pablsc view.
Thus in many of the States where edu-
cation S most thoroughly diffused, exc
cutions are conducted i'll private, but a
few being admitted to witness them and
only enough to see that there is no col
lusion and that the law is faithfully car
ried out. Experience will teach every
civilized State the wisdom of following
the example.

Progress ofMe Talare Caaal.-The
last Legislature, it will be recollected,
Incorporated a Company for the purpose
of reclaiming the tule lands of Tulare
county, and to connect Tulare Lake with
the San Joaquin river by means of
canal. This Company is called the
Tulare Canal and Land Company. The
Stockton Argus has received from Mir
Downer, of the Company-the same
days in the tules ofthe 1'ulare Valley
some information on the subject, which
we condense:
The wafer in Kings river, or San
Joaquin Slough, as it is often called, is
55S1-lOO feet lower than the water head
of the Tulare Lake At its lowest stage
Of water, which is in October. The
work Is heing prosecuted with 1igor hy
the company, so it is expected that by
spring over two hundred thousand acne
of land will be reclaimed. The canal
will be about the same width and depth
of the New York Erie CaI all It's COM
pletion will open one of the richest val
leys Of the State, as land that now is
reproductive for want of water, can then
be irrigated from the canal,-the head
waters of which is higher than the lands
through which it runs, and for great
portion of the Nay will run tpon the top
of the land, requiring embankments
upon each side. The products of the
farmer upon this fertile SOIL heretofore
almost worthless from its distance from
market, can find an easy cgress by means
of this canal to, and be the means of
opening an immense trade with, Stock
ton. Already is this work drawing into
the Tulare Valley a large immigration.
The imm grafton is principally from the
Coast Range, driven from their former
homes by Spanish grants, and drawn
there by the fertil soil and prospects of
the speedy completion of Il canal for
irrigating and commercial purposes. =
The lands thus opened to market are
sold by the State Government to which
they belong at the same low price as is
demanded for unreclaimed lands under
the law of 1855. Large locations are
being nnade. The company making the
canal, receives pay for its labor in lands
upon its border. The filling up of this
Valley will be directly beneficial to
Stockton, which is the natural outlet of
the valley, and to this point will its
commerce tend as naturally as its canal
will run in that direction.

one of the Vigilance Committee of San

Duane in front of the Satisfactory Sa-

pullings of whiskers and slappings of
face. The meekness with which the
castigafion was received induced an
opinion it was not badly out of place

MONEY IN THE TREAsURY.-In the
State Treasury, on Monday, were $685.,
AIS, belonging to the general fund. If
not paid out before the first IF January,
the Legislature about TO assemble will
have that sum at least to start in on.
The Controller and Treasurer of State,
by virtue of provision of law enacted
by the Legislature of last winter, have
ordered the treasures of sixteen counties
to pay in on Monday next all the funds
intheir possession belonging to the State
The counties embraced in the order are
the most opulent in the State, consist
ing of Sierra, Nevada, Placer, FL Dora
do, Amador, Calaveras, Tuolumne, San
Joaquin, Sacramento, San Francisco,
Solano, Santa Clara, Yolo and Yuba.-
These counties will probably add enough
to the general fund to make up sum
of some 100000 by the time the Leg
islature assemblies. Thus the assem-
bled wisdom" of 1858 will commence
their deliberations undermore favorable
pecuniary auspices than any of its pre-
decessors. There will be money enough
in the Treasury and coming in durihg
the session to meet every legitimate ex-
penditure.

PICKETT-The eccentric Pickett has
published letter in one of the Yreka
papers which is copied in the State Jour-
nal, in which he says:
President Buchanan, in his famous
letter to the Connecticut parsons, says
tit mystery to him how the right to
hold slaves i'll any Of the territories could
ever have been seriously doubted. go
further, and say it's a mystery to me
how the right to hold slaves in any of
the States formed out of those Terrific
ries could have ever been denied, so
long as they remained a part of the con-
federacy and subject to the operations
of a common Constitution, which Con
stitution, according to the officially ex-
pressed opinion of the Supreme Court
and of President Buchanan, recognizes
slaves as property" To this extent l
find certain intelligent Black "Republi-
cans" of Oregon go, who maintain that,
if the Dred Scott decision be correct
one, and is to remain law of the land,
the inevitable deductions must follow as

To anticipate fully, even if able to

narrowed down between two parties

Black Republican nullifers and seces-
sionists who oppose it. Then that non

STEAM CAR IN MARYsvILLE.-War

STEAM CAR IN MARYsvILLE.-War
rem P. Miller, of Marysville, has invent
ed steam car, designed to be used as
a locomotive on a common road, model
of which is said to have been examined
by competent mechanics. The car can
also be used for ploughing. A patent
has been secured. The Marysville
Herald of Dec. 18th gives the following
description of it:
The car is carried forward on two
pairs of trucks, running on track which
is composed of two endless chains to
each track, the links of the chains, if
we may SO term them, being hollow
blocks of malleable iron, strung on two
short linked chain cables, which pass
over and around pair of leading wheels
in front, and another pair of driving
wheels in the rear, which are hexagonal
in form, and so conforming to the links
of the endless chain, that the car is
driven forward, taking the track along
with it as the wheels revolve. The car
can be built of any desired power. 1t
is steered by wheel, similar to pilot
wheel on vessel, and is worked in the
same manner. 1t can be turned in
short space with the same ease as To-
comotive. Its chief superiority over
any other steam car that has been in
vented. lies in the advantage of having
perfect track for the car to run upon,
and in using the track as belt around
the driving wheels, thus giving motive
power equal to the strength of the en-
gine itself.
