New LAND DIsTRICTS.-The Presi-
dent has divided California into six Land
Districts, viz: Humboldt, Marysville,
San Francisco, Stockton, Visalia and Los
Angeles. We publish the boundaries of
the following Land Districts as they are
now established, and go into operation on
the lst of July, 1858:
District No. 4, .Stockton-All east of
the coast range of mountains south of the
line dividing townships 7 and s, and
north of third standard parallel south, and
embracing the following counties Gala
veras, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Tuolumne,
Marlposa, and parts of Contra Costa, AL
ameda, Napa, Sacramento, Solano, Ell
Dorado, Amador, Merced and Tulare.
District No. 5, Tsalia-All east of
the coast range of mountains, south of the
third standard parallel south, and north
of the Sth standard parallel south, and
embracing the following counties Buena
Vista, most of Tulare, and parts of Mer-
ced and San Bernardino.
This arrangement of Districts was
agreed to by the President after several
protracted interviews with the Secretary
of the Interior and the members of the
California delegation in the two Houses
of Congress 1t is believed to be the
simplest and best division that could be
made under the circumstances.
The officers have all been named, and
are taken without exception frcm the anti
Broderick party The following gentle
men will be appointed:
A. G. Bradford, Register at Stockton !;
w. B. Norman, Receiver at Stockton ;
E. p. Hart, Register at Visala; Mon
roe Baker, Receiver at Visalia; Uriah
Edwards, Register at Humboldt; Major
Hook, Receiver at Humboldt.
These gentlemen reside in the districts
in which they will be called to serve,
which was regarded by the President as
a materialfac They were also appointed
as the known and avowed opponents of
Senator Broderick
In relation to the surveyed lands, this
writer says:
There have been 25,OOO,O acres of
land surveyed in California, and only q
800, 900 have been placed in market by
the President. Senator Gwin is urging
that every acre surveyed, and ready for
market, shall be offered for sale. This
may not be granted, but Mr. g. has an
assurance that at least 100000 more
shall be advertised in time to be in mar
ket about the first of January next
He also asserts that E. d. Buel will
be appointed Indian Agent in the place
of Stevenson, esigned; and that Mr.
Henley, the General Superintendent, viii
have to yield to a successor. Cores

Nor Much OF A FIGHT. Lincoln,
an ex-member of Congress from Illinois,
and the man of that State who is anxious
for the shoes of the Little Giant. tells a
story, as we learn from the Illinois pa
pers, that illustrates in the best anecdotal
style, his appreciation of the late fight in
Congress. 1t reminds Abe of the testi-
mony given concerning fight, one of
the belligerents being his client:
Among the witnesses for the plaintiff
was remarkably talkative old fellow,
who was disposed to magnify the import
ance of the affair to my clients disadvan-
tage. 1t came my turn to question him.
Witness" said |, "you say you saw
this fight ?''
"Yes, stranger, [ reckon 1 did"
"Was it much of fight p said I.
"I'll be darn'd if it wasn't, stranger,
right smart fight"
"How much ground did the combat
ants cover?"
About an acre.
About an acre" I repeated musingly.
Well, now, witness just tell me, aoosn't
that Just about the smallest crop Of a
fight off Of an acre Of ground that eoer
you heard Of"

MoDEsTY.-Who shall win the prize
There was meeting of the flowers, and
the judge was appointed to award the
prize of beauty.
Who shall win the prize?' asked the
rose, proudly rushing forward in blush
ing beauty, in full assurance of its win-
ming worth.
Who will win the prize?' asked the
rest of the flowers, as they came forward,
each conscious of its attraction and each
equally sure of receiving the reward.
Il will take peep at the assemblage,'
thought the violet, not intending to make
one of the company, 'and see the beauties
as they pass.
Just as it was raising its modest head
from its humble and retiring corner, and
was looking in upon the meeting, the
judge rose to render his decree
To the VIOLET, said he, award the
prize of beauty, for there is no trait more
rare-none more enchantingly beautiful
than naodesty'

MASONIC BALL AT WOoDs' FERRY

MASONIC BALL AT WOODS Ferry
The large new Masonic Hall at Woods
Ferry, which is now in process of erec-
tlon, will soon be completed, and it is the
intention of its enterprising builders to
celebrate It's completion by grand ball
on the 24th of June. Great preparations
are being made for the occasion, and the
Masons and Odd Fellows will muster in
great strength. In addition to those who
will take part in the festivities from the
vicinity, parties are expected from Sacra-
mento and other points. The proceeds
of the ball will be devoted to the payment
of the expenses incurred in erecting the
building.

GEN. WILLIAM WALKER-The New
Orleans correspondent of the New York
Herald, says: The flibusters are here
and in this vicinity in force, awaiting the
grand trial which is to come off next
month. General Walker went to Mobile
few days since General Henningsen
and Captain Fayssoux are also here, with
Anderson, Lockridge and Others They
are confident not only that they will not
be convicted, but that in the revelations
that will be made during the trial they
will knock the administration " higher
nor kite" if a nolle proseguti is not en-.
tered, which, it is said, they fear will be
done. After they have finished the ad.
ministration, | am informed they look to
ulterior operations on the Rio Grande.-
The steamer Fashion having been bought
in under the Sheriff. sale for 5000, is
now on the floating dock at Mobile, where
she looks as bright as new pin.

ORIGINAL DEFECTIVE

Commiserating their brethren cup aloft,"
the six financial jurors proposed that the
yet unfinished 'burbin" should be sent
up, and six of the killing case jurors vol
unteered to form committee and 90 up
with the jug! Climbing up over one
another's shoulders in the dark was no
safe nor rapid movement, but at length
the arduous feat was duly accomplished,
and the mixed juries as long as the can
dies and whisky lasted, had the best kind
of time, all things considered. Near
midnight they fell into comfortable and
profound snooze. About the break of
day a laundering rap. rap rap. at the
jury-room door aroused the sleeping ju-
rors.
Have you decided, men, upon YER
dict?"
owe have by snakes p cried one of
the killing case jurors.
Get up, boys cried the foreman,
let's give in a verdict, for | m about froze
and starved out. There was unanimous
acquiescence by the twelve" TIE sher-
if IS deputy opened the door and marched
the jury into court; the sheriff proceed
ing up stairs to stir up the other jury
Have you agreed, men-are you
ready to 90 into court ?"
Lord bless you sheriff, yes sir" cried
one of the tagged out financial Jurors.
Let us down, O, sheriff, dol"
Open went the door, some of the Jurors
were none the better of the nights liba-
tions, and sleeping in the cold uncouth
room rather inclined to make up YER
dict suddenly. They seized their hats
and marched into court.
Mr. Foreman" cried the clerk
"have you agreed upon verdict?"
We have" was the solemn response
Guilty, or not guilty 2"
Guilty"
"Stop. hold on !" cried the prisoner
Devilcatcher
" Silence ''
Il shan't do it, he yells
F" Si-lence-e-e!" cries the court.
No, I'm hanged if | do Judge" !"
"Sheriff, secure the prisoner !" bawls
the judge.
Judge" continues the prisoner, do
you see that jury? Sheriff, do you know
'em ?"
"Eh? WHAT" says the judge.
Here's a pooty mess, that's fact"
exclaimed the sheriff, as he rushed out of
the one court into the other, and in a
minute rushes back again. exclaiming:
"Judge, discharge this jury, the Gus
sed whelps are all mixed up with the
other jury, and how they got mixed up in
this way III be shot if can find out !"
The judge gave them .jessy aud dis
charged them Amos Devilcatcher was
remanded to jail, from whence he made
his sudden exit that night, blessing his
eye sight that detected the mixed jury
and saved his bacon. Barber, the fnan-
cier, got off in pretty much the same
cause.

YOUNG MEN.-I love to look upon a
young man. There is a hidden potency
concealed within his breast which charms
and pains me. | silently ask, what will
that youth accomplish in after life p
Will he take rank with the benefactors
or scourges of his race? Will he exhibit
the patriotic virtues of Hampden and
Washington, or the selfish craftiness of
Benedict Arnold? If he have genius,
will he concentrate it, like Milton and
Montgomery, to humanity and religion !;
or, like Moore and Byron, to the polluted
affairs of passion? If he have mercantile
skill, will he employ it like Astor, to graf
ify his lust for wealth, or to elevate and
bless humanity, like some of our mer-
chant princes? If the gift of eloquence
be hidden in his undeveloped soul, will
he use it, like Summerfeld, in favor of
religion or in favor of Patrick Henry, in
battling for human rights or, will he,
for Mammon's sake, prostitute that gift
to the use Of tyranny and infdelity?-
Will that immortal soul, which beams
with the intelligence and power in his
countenance, ally itself, with its Creator,
and thus to rise to the sublime height of
destiny? Or, will it wage war with truth
and duty, and thus sink into degradation
and death? As | raise these great que
ries, [ at once do reverence to the high
potentiality of his nature, and tremble for
his fate.-Daniel jftse.

DON'T LIKE IT.-A small boy heard
a parson preach sermon from these
words, aye must be born again." which
was frequently repeated during the dis
course. The little hearer paid strict at
tention to all that was said, and particu-
larly to the text
After he returned home, he became
melancholy. His father observed it and
inquired the cause. The boy told him
that the preacher said he must be born
again.
Well, my son, replied the father,
why do you cry about TT"
oh, said the boy, "Pm SO afraid
that next time I'll be gall"

RICHES OF EMINENT MEN.-Crmsus possess
ed in landed property, fortune equal to
eI roo, 600, besides a large amount of money,
slaves and furniture, which amounted to an
equal sum. He used to say that citizen who
had not a sufficient sum to support an army of
a legion, did not deserve the title of a rich
man. The philosopher, Seneca, had fortune
of e3, 500, 900. Tiberias, at his DEATH left
e29, 9,000, 900, which Caligula spent in twelve
months. Nespasian, on ascending the throne
estimated all the expenses of the State at
e35 900, 900. The debts of Milo amounted to
100000. Caesar, before he entered upon
any Office, owed e., ,995, 900. He had purchas-
ed the friendship of Corio for e5to,000 and
that of Lucius Paulus for e300,000. At the
time Of the assassination of julius Cesar, An
tbony was in debt to the amount of e3 ,000,-
900 he owned this sum on the Ides of March
and it was paid by the kalends of April he
souandered Gl47 100000. Appus squander-
ed in debauchery eao0, 900, and finding, on
examination of the state of his affairs, that he
had only ESQ. 900, poisoned himself because
he considered that sum insufficient for his
maintenance. Caesar gave Satulla the mother
of Brntus. a pearl of the value of 10000
Cieopatra. at an entertainment she gave to An
tony, dissolved in vinegar, pearl worth $780,
GOO, and he swallowed IT.

GETTING WELL.-Thcre is luxury
in "getting well" that cannot be told
TO feel, daily, slight accession to
strength; little stronger in the feet; a
step further from the bed; an hour long
er from the pillow; and all the while a
little tremulous of fear 1t is to the
frame something like the coming of
Spring to nature, when we are not quite
sure it is done showing; not quite sure
there is not narrow breath of winter
"relapse,o " you know-between us and
the full blossom; fearing lest the snow
drop and the crocus should close their
opening leaves, and "be bud again. F"
There is an indescribable feeling of new
life tingling in the veins, as though this
machinery of ours were just in process
of making, and only just now set aeoing.
Nature is full of compensations, and the
" getting well" is not the least of them.
San Andreas independent., 1858-05-29

A RAT TALE.-A small half Scotch,
half-English terrier, weighing Is pounds,
fox color and seriously inclined, which
belonged to the editor of the Savannah
Republican, while in the office of cot
ton merchant smelt rat, and soon forced
the "yarmint = from his hiding place
In desperate haste to avoid bite, the
rat made for the first opening, which was
the ofice-window, through which goods
are hoisted) looking over the bluff, four
stories high, or about sixty feet from the
ground. The rat made the leap, and af-
ter him went the terrier, needless of the
consequence They both reached the
ground, side by side at the same instant,
having Just missed alighting on big ne
gro's crannium. Fer the rat could re-
cover from the effects of the jump, he
felt himself in the jaws of the terrier,
with his spinal bones considerably dislo-
Gated. The terrier did not seem at all
hurt by such tremendous leap, and he
is now more assiduous than ever in his
pursuit of rat tails

REToRT CoURTEoUs.-W While two lit
tie girls, one the daughter of clergy
man, and the other, the child of one of
his parishioners, were playing together,
they fell into an angry dispute, as chill
dren often will, in imitation of their Sc
niors. To mortify and spite her antago-
mist, the layman's little girl saw fit to re-
mind her of her fathers well-known poy-
erty, and intimated rather tartly, that had
it not been for her fathers benevolent in
reference, the poor minister would have
been in the work house.
" Well, | don't care" replied the other,
"if it hadn't been for my father, yours $
would have been in he'll, long ago.
San Andreas independent., 1858-05-29

WAGGERY.-Some time ago, on the
Sabbath day, we wended our way to one
of our churches, and instead of sermon,
heard an address upon some missionary
or other benevolent subject. After the
address was concluded, two brethren were
sent round with the baskets for contribu-
tions. Parson L, who was one of
the basket bearers, taking the side upon
which we sat. Immediately in our front,
and upon the next seat, negligently re-
clined our friend Bill H, a gentle
man of infinite humor, and full of dry
jokes. Parson L extended the bas-
ket, and Bill slowly shook his head
"Come, William, give us something,
said the parson.
"Can't do il" replied Bill
Why not? is not the cause good
one?"
"Yes; but I am not able to give any
thing"
"Poh. poh ! I know better, you must
give better reason than that"
"Well, owe too much money. |
must be just before | am generous, you
know"
"But, William, you owe God larger
debt than you owe anybody else"
"Thats true, parson, but then he amt
pushing me like the balance Of my cred
ttors!t"
The parsons face got into rather Gu
rious condition, and he passed on.

Written for the San Andreas independent
Edith's Bower.
In glen,
By the side of laughing brook,
Within a cool and shady nook,
1t is built
The bright birds
Fly there at the cleaning of day,
And 'mong the scented blossoms play,
Till even.
Mid the vines,
The rowing zephyrs love to sigh,
And oft willie floating softly by,
Breathe their sweets.
At its base,
A crystal stream in murmurs low,
HUNS the sweet strains of long ago,
Gliding on.
Bright green moss,
As soft, as velvet to the feet
With threads of gold oerspreads the seat,
OF granite.
High above.
Inwoven vines of brown and blue,
With crimson tendrils peeping through,
Hide the sky.

BD~The highest waterfall in the world
is in the Sandwich Islands, and is stated
to be between four and five thousand feet
high. The stream on which the fall oc-
ours runs among the peaks of one of the
highest mountains, SO high that the water
actually never reaches the bottom, so
great is the distance, that it ascends to
the clouds again. This must be sight
to see cataract literally suspended in the
air.

A BLACK CLoUD.-A black cloud
