There has been more rain the past week
than was required by vegetation; but the
weather has been warm and growing. Con-
siderable Corn has been planted in this
County, although o small portion only of
what our farmers intend to put in. Some
corn is up. Fall wheat looks well what there
is; Spring is coming up finely, and promises
first rate. Our fruit prospects are good, for
all kinds except apples, which will be light
yield. We shall hare some peaches, unless
they are knocked off the trees, mainly, how
ever, from young trees.
Prices in our market rule high as they will
do until after harvest, but the supply is now
good, except vegetables. Flour, under the
influence Of the war news and rise in the
cities, has gone up 20 1928, to $500. A
further rise is looked upon as certain. Corn

The prospect of dividing California. no
doubt with the idea of the erection of the
southern part of it into a new Slave State,
is again on the tapis. A bill having that OBJ
ject in view has passed both branches of the
California Legislature and, at the last ac-
counts, only wanted the signature of the
Governor, which will no doubt be given to it,
This bill appears to have passed the House
in the first place without attracting much at
tention. A motion to reconsider gave rise to
along debate, in which the Slavery question
was discussed at length, and with good deal
of warmth on both sides. Finally, the mo-
ton to reconsider was defeated by vote of
thirty-one to twenty-seven. OF the proceed
ings in the Senate we have yet no accounts
beyond the facts of favorable report upon
the bill by the Committee to which it was
and its subsequent passage.

and answers to the same effect. His letter
is long, but its conclusions are brief, clear
and emphatic, viz:
81 am compelled, as a Republican, to say
in reply to your first interrogatory, that
am not an advocate for any material change
in the naturalization laws; to the second, |
do not approve of any discrimination what
ever against the rights ofnaturalized citizens;

citizen of Massachusetts, advocate the adop-
ton of the proposed amendment to her con-
stitution."

The following startling intelligence from
Nebraska City, we find in the Kansas Her.
aid:
A meeting was held few days since at
Nebraska City, for the purpose of sending
Delegates to the Kansas Constitutional Con-
vcntion. Speeches were made in favor Of
and against the proposition, which caused
much excitement. Gen. Calhoun was very
violent in opposition to the movement. He
gave the lie to some person, which was re-
sented by blows, and returned by Calhoun.
Here general melee ensued, when a Ger
man drew pistol and fired at some one, but
missed his aim Judge Bennett seeing the
pistol, rushed forward with a stick, and it is
said struck the German, when he fired woun-
ding Bennett in the groin, which, it is thought,
will prove fatal. The excitement at this
time became SO intense that mob was about
to be raised to hang the German. Judge
Miller arrived at the place, quelled the ex-
citement. The German was arrested and
placed in the lookup, with five men to guard
him. subsequently ths Office of 0. p. Mason
was entered and his furniture capsized, for
which Gen. Mel. ean and two or three others
were arrested on suspicion, and Gen. Calhoun
was arrested for disturbing the peace in the
meeting

PROPERTY IN A WIFE.-It seems, accord
ing to the decision Of the CouIt in theSicklcs
case, that a man has property in his wife
not only property but exclusive property
The following principles were embodied in
the instructions submitted to the jury, on the
part Of the defence:
|. That the husband and wife being one
in the law, the defence of the wife was self
defence could the wife by consent
screen the wrong door.
2. That the husband has an absolute prop

and has legal right to protect it against force
or violenc2--and as the wife cannot consent
away what belongs to her husband-so the
act Of the Seducer and adultcrer is an act OF
violence upon the property of the husband,
which justities the latter in killing the wrong
