He further says:
at is an absurd, monstrous and dangerous
theory, which demands dcnunciation from
every patriot of the land, and profound
sense of my duty to you would not permit
me to do less than to offer this brief state
ment ofmy views upon a question so vital to
the welfare Of our common country"
Wonderful agreement this is with stephen
A. Douglas Wonderful harmony Of the Le-
compton party in this State with the Illinois
Senator! The leader of the Administration
party in California denounces him in terms
which are not to be misunderstood, misn.
terpreted or ingeniously explained away. In
plain words, he repudiates the doctrine Of
the Kansas Nebraska Bill, as laid down by
Mr. Douglas, in his speech on the recommen-
dation of the President to admit Kansas, in
his speech at Freeport Illinois, and in his
speech on the 23d of February last in the
Senate of the United States. We trust we
shall hear no more whining fools, after this,
contending that the Administration party
are the friends of Stephen A. Douglas.
Mr.. Gwin has the temcrity to allude to the

TROUBLE ABOUT \ CnLD.-What came very
near being desperate and bloody rencontre
between fleeing father and a pursuing
mother took place yesterday afternoon near
the Feather river bridge 1t seems that
certain Mrs Grangeen, of Uniontown, El
Dorado county, ran away from her husband
some weeks ago, with a man named Dulin
a Doctor by profession, and gay Lotharo
by practice. Mr.. Grangeen afterwards traced
his faithless spouse to Marysville, and found
her at one of the hotels. lie came for the
purpose Of taking away his child which is
some five or six years old. Mrs Grangeen
protested vehemently against it, and begged
at last to be allowed to retain the child. Mr.
GraDgeen told her she could keep it, but only
on one condition, and that was that she would
never more have anything to do with Dulin.
She promised that she would not Mr. Gran
geen accordingly left. y few days ago. he
came back and found her living with Dulin.
lie accordingly seized an opportunity to make
OIL with the child afoot lie had not, how
ever, proceeded further than the Feather riy

was about to fire. Grangcen also drew his

MURDER IN ARIzoNA.-A correspondent of
the Alta, writing from Tubac, July I'd, says:
On the 25th June another murder was com
mitted by some Mexican poems on one of cur
best citizens, Mr.. John Ware. One of the
MeXicans was killed by Mr. Carrothers after
stabOing Mr.. Ware several times and another
who held Mr.. Ware, was arrested next dav.
This was not premeditated but a cowardiy
murder. Mr. Ware was no fighting charac-
ter, although brave man, and had ever
been the friend of the Mexieans and the
peace maker in this vicinity.
On the 27th Mr.. Ware was buried in Tu
bac, and shortly afterwards the people of
this place and vicinity resolved, not without
opposition, to send ,he prisoner TO the Rio
Grand for trial. Order once more gained the
victory. hope it will have the effect on our
neighbors in Sonora also on our own Gov
ernment at home.

MARRIAGE.

49, A.
Marriage Is to a woman at once the hap
piest and the saddest event Of her life; it is
the promise of future bliss, raised on the
death Of all present ~enjoyments. She quits
her home, her parents, her companions, her
amusemenls, everything on which she has
hitherto depended for comfort, for affection,
for kindness, for pleasure.
The parents, by whose advice she has been
guided, the sister to whom she has dared i'm
part every embryo feeling and thought, the
brother who has played with her. by turns
the counsellor and the counselled, and the
youngest children, 10 whom she has hitherto
been the mother and the playmate, all arc to
be iorsaken at one fell stroke; every former
tie Is loosened, the spring Of every hope and
action is to be changed and yet she flies
with Joy into the untrodden path before her
buoyed up by the confidence Of requitcd love,
she bids fond and grateful adieu to the life
that is past, and talks with excited hopes
and joyous anticipations of the happiness to
come. Then woe to the man who can blight
such fair hopes-who can treacherously lure
such a heart from its peaceful enjoyment, and
the watchful protection at home-who can,
cowArd-liko break the illusions that have
won her, and destroy the confidence that love
had inspired. Woe TO him who has too early
Withdrawn tho tender plant from the props
and stays Of moral discipline in which she
has been nurtured, and yet make no effort to
supply their place for on him be the respon-
sibility Of her errors-on him who has first
taught Der, by his example, to grow careless
Of her duty. end then exposed her, with a
weakened spirit and unsatisfied heart, to the
wild storm and willy temptations Of a sinful
world
