! DR.. Wozencraft, who has travelled extensively
throughout the interior of California, states that
he has seen in secluded portion of Shasta county
| burning mountain, which distant inspection
| and the circumstances attending the spectacle
which he witnessed confirms him in the opinion
| that the flames proceeded from active volcano.

every instance had the same appearance. A hun
ter in those regions has since corroborated the fact
of their being an active volcano.

aqua without special permission or invitation from
that government The second would seem to neu-
traize the effect of the first amendment; it is, that
the United States may land troops in pursuit OF
fbusters in case they escape the vigilance of our
naval commanders at sea. Flag officer Long had
received no official or other communication from
our Minister, General Lamar, in regard to the
