Don't MARRY FOR MONEY Miss Mulloch, the
eminent writer, in reference to loveless unions
observes:
marriage should always be a question not of
necessity, but of choice. Every girl u7ht to be
taught that loveless union stamps upon her as
foul dishonor as one of those connections which
omit the legal ceremony atogether--and that
however pale, dreamy and tosome single life
may be, unhappy married life must be tenfold
worse an ever haunting temptation, an incura-
BILE regret, torment from which there is no es-
cane bat death"

THE Napa Reporter says of the approaching
canvass in thlt county: " The different parties
are looking around for available men for nomina-
tion, and would-be candidates are eanvassing
their chances of success. The ultra democratic
administration men are very silent about Mr..
Buchanan and his policy, while the popular SOW
eregnty democracy Of the Douglas stamp are
exu'tant. Great changes have certainly occurred
in public sentiment since last September in favor
of popular sovereignty, as enuncated in the Gin
cinnat platform, hut whether sufficient to neutral
ze the heavy administration majority last fall,
remains to be seem"

THE INDIAN TROUBLES IN TEHAMA.-The last
number of the Gazette censurcs, in a mild manner,
the late proceedings against the Indians in the
northern portion of that county, and believes
they were actuated to their late deeds of murder
and incendiarism by spirit of retaliation to
revenge the wrongs suffered at the hands of the
whites No treaty, according to the Gdzetp, has
ever been entered into between the government
and the valley Indians, The article concludes
"Thev, as n matter of course, are fighting for

Big DIFFEhENcE.-The Observer says that a
number of P-ute Indians have been in Placerville
recently. They are fine looking fellows, infinitely
superior to the Diggers-and they know it. One
Of the ri utes stole Digger's hat. The Digger
told merchant. who stepped to bis door and sure
enough, there stood the Pi.ute with the appropr-
ated sombrero under his arm. Did you take that
hat from this Indian ?" enqnired the merchant.
!. Yes p was the laconic reply. "Well, what did
you take it for? 1t is not yours, and you have
no right to rob this Indian" continued the gen
'ieman. The Pi-ute brought the discussion to a
close by Indignantly exclaiming, Hangtown

Letter from tie Hon. ohm slldell to Joln
Claiborne.

JIv Dear SRI have your note of the
1th inst, asking me tocomn1unicate any
facts or documents in relation to the
Heumas claims, and the Legislation OF
Congress OH those clsims and others Of
a similar character. | send you here
with various papers bearing on the sub
iect, and think that they will furnish
the REQUIRED information. 1t is my IN
tention, at the meeting of Congress, to
call up and refer the petition of certain
inhapitants Of the parish of Ascension,
which was presented towards the close
of the last session, with the view OF
having report thereon, giving full
history of the claim and a review OF all
the facts connected with it. My col
league, Mr.. Benjamin, as Chairman OF
the Senate Committee OF Private Land
Claims, TO whom the petition was re-
fcrrcd, reported, two or three days be-
/ fore the adjournment Of Congress, a JOINT
resolution directing the Secretary OF IN
terror to suspend the issuing OF patents
for the lands embraced in the ID section
of the Act of the I'd Of June, 1858, until
| the close OF the next session OF Congress.
The reason for this action Of the Com
mittee was, that there was not sufficient
time for the investigation of the case
before the adjournment. The joint res
Iolution was passed by a dispensation OF
the rules (Which the objection OF a sim
| Gle Senator would have prevcnted)
through all its stages, and sent to the
| House, on the day of its introduction,
where it was passed i'll like manner
You have seen enough Of the mode oi
doing business in Congress to know
that if either my colleague OF l had
wished to offer the slightest indirect
obstacle to the passage Of the resolution
| it could not possibly have gone through
it's several readings in both Houses be
fore the adjournment; the patents to-
the Honmas lands would have been is
sued by this time-when issued, the,
will add nothing to the validity OF
title. which is already complete Th'
petition of the inhabitants Of Ascension.
and the resolutions said to have beer
adopted at public meeting at New
River, were concoctcd by persons hay
ing no pecuniary interest III the matter
and gotten up for purposes purely po,
litical. They contain assertions Wlf'ci
their authors knew to be false. My N
fdividual share of the land is ten thous

THE SICKLES TRIAL.
The Opening for the Defense.

John Graham; the renowned criminal
lawyer Of the New York Bar, made the
following remarks at the opening speech:
4 few weeks since the body Of a hui
man being was found in the throes Of
Death in one of the streets Of your city
It proved to be the body of confirmed
and habitual adulterer. On a day too
sacred to be profaned by worldly toll;
on a day when he was forbidden to
moisten his brow with the sweat CT
hohest labor; on day when he should
have risen above the grossness OF his
nature and though on no other day he
had sent his aspirations heavenWards,
he should have allowed them then to
pass in that direction, we fndshim be-
sicging, with the most evil intentions,
that castle where, for their security and
| rcpose. the law had placed the wife aud
child of his ncighbor. Had he observed
the solemn precept: Remember the
Sabbath day toheep it holy he might
I at this moment hSse formed one OF the
living.
The injured father and husband rushes
upon him at the moment of his guilt,
and under the influence of frenzy exc
cutes upon him Il judgment which was
/ as Just as it was summary. The issue
which you arc to decide is, whether this
act renders its author amenable to the
laws Of the land In the decision Of
this issue, gentlemen Of the jury, you
haze a deep and solemn interest; you
are here to fix the price of the'marrlage
bed; you are here to see in what estima-
ton that sacred couch is ne]d by an
honest and intelligent American jury.
/ You are favored citizens; you live IN a
city which constitutes the seat Of our
federal government; city consecratcd
, to liberty above all others; but not to
{ the liberty of the libertine; city bear
/ ino, the name Of the'illustrious Wash
inSfon. the father of his country. Of
whom it has been emphatitally and truly
J, said that he was First in war, first II
peace, and first in the hearts of his
countrymcn."
You may feel q pity, in reviewing
| this occurrence, for the life which has
been taken; you may regret the neces-
, sity which constrained that event; but,
+ while you pity the dead, remember, also,
!, that you should extend commisseration
!, to the living. That life, taken away as
it was, may prove to be your and my
gain. You know not how soon the wife
or daughter Of some one OF you would
have benin fact you know not but
4 what it had been marked by the same
, ewes which destroyed the marriage re.
lations of this defendant. You know
not.l,ow soon the gardens. of foveliness
over which you now preside, had that
! life been spared, would have beer
. called upon to supply their flower tt
satisfy the insulated appetite of the de
ceased.
An interference with the marriage
relation must strike every refectine
mind as the greatest wrong that can b.
committed upon a human being. It ha'
