THE FooT Hills The exhibition of fruit at
the State Fair demonstrated the fact that all
kinds of fruit raised upon the red soil of the foot
hills of the Sierra Navadas, is superior in quail
ty and generally in size, to that raised upon the
rich loans of the valleys and river bottoms
This is especially true of grapes The finest on
exhibition were raised in the mining counties
The largest grapes at the Fair were raised on
the ranch of James Lennon, of this county.

GEN. WALKER.-A New Orleans correspond

he has depot down on the coast, about
thirty miles from here, where are deposited his
stores and where his new recruits are sent i'm
mediately after enlisting. This expedition seems
to be backed by capital, and there also seems to
be much more system about its management
than with the others. Nearly all of the old sot-
tish hangers on of the Nicaragua cause are sent
down to the depot and kept there, while the
enlisting is conducted with secresy and success.

The SAN JUAN AFFAIR.-Now that the title to
this island has become question big with i'm
portance, the first article of the treaty made be-
tween the United States and Great Britain, June
l5 lS49, will be read with interest:
ARTICLE |. From the point the forty
ninth parallel of north latitude, where the boun-
dairy laid down in the existing treaties and con-
ventions between the United State and Great
Britain terminates the line of boundary between
the territories of the United States and those OF
Her Britannia Majesty shall be continued west
ward along the said forty ninth parallel ofnortll
latitude to the middle of the channel which
separates the continent from Vancouver's Island
and thence southerly through the middle of the
said channel, and of Fuca's Straits to the Pa
cifc ocean; provided, however, that the naviga-
tion of the whole of the said channel and strait
south of the forty ninth parallel of north lati-
tude remain free and open to both parties.
1t seems to US that it is not question for ne
gotiatiou, but for the surveyor. If San Juan
Island is south of the middle of Fucas Straits
then 1t belong to the United States; if not, then
it belongs to England.

Very Appropriate.

The San Juan correspondent of the S. F..
Times, Republican, denounces the course pur-
sued by Gen. Harney-in taking possession of
San Juan lsland-in the coarsest terms The
writer is either subject of Queen Victoria or a
traitorous American. 1t is emiuently proper
that he should select q Black Republican sheet
as the channel through which to discharge his
cowardly abuse upon the heads of men who
have shed their blood for their country 1t
seems impossible for a certain sort of citizens to
love the Union. The old FederaIists burnt
blue lights" upon our eastern coasts, to better
enable the enemy to attack and burn our towns
Their regular political observation-disclosures
Tom Corwin and other men with Abolition
leanings-denounced the Mexican war as "un-
holy" and recommended the Greasers to well
come our soldiers with bloody hands to hospita-
BILE graves. And now, we repeat, it is fitting
that the same sort of partisans, the same old
breed of enemies Of the Democracy, should, even
in the very initial of prospective difficulty with
England, take the side OF the enemy, by black
guarding and siandering our army officers, and
representing lueln 10 nave acteQ WnO1ly wrong.
The writer intimates that Harvey is a coward.
The dirty fellow Why, the knave ought to
know that he could not even make "bloody
Henglshman" believe that. This miscreant
writes over the de plume of " Sinbad the
Sailor" He is doubtless some cowardly hire
ling.
The Times editor rolls the filthy fulminatons
as a sweet morsel under his tongue. Indeed he
proves himself worthy compatriot in the vile
trade of treason and traduction with his CORES
pondent, for he advances step beyond that ca
lumniator, and intimates that Gen. Harney has
been concerned in some corrupt government
speculations." We must be permitted to doubt
whether the redoubtabe editor of the Times
would have used such language towards Gen.
Harney, if he had thought there was the slight
est possibility Of that gallant old officer ever
condescending to call him to account for it.
However, as said before, it is eminenty fit
that Black Republicans of the present day
should take sides with the enemy. Their party,
under other names, has ever pursued the same
course
