Marriage hs Proxy.

The Syracuse IN Y } Courier states that
Rev. DIR. Gregory, formerly Of that city,
commemorated the close of the old year or
the opening of the new, by solemnizing, at
De Veaux College, near Niagara Supervision
Bridge, marriage between parties who, at
the time were not within six thousand miles
OF each other. The circumstances are
these: The bride, for seven years resident
of California, after the death of former
husband, became engaged to a gentleman re-
siding in that State, but having large land
ed property in Mexico. By arrangement
between the parties, the lady returned to her
parental home, at St. GATHERINGS, Canada
West, where her intended was to NEE; her
about this time, and claim her as his BRIDE
The recent troubles in Mexico, however, be-
ing in the vicinity of his plantations, de-
manded his immediate presence in that coun-
try, and forbid his coming North to fulfill
his engagement He therefore frankly
wrote her OF the circumstances that detained
him, and inclosed q regularly executed
power of attorney, which authorized the
lady's father to stand up in the stead of the
bridegroom, and for him to enter into matri-
monial vows. The papers being executed
in the United States, it was thought neces-
sary to have the ceremony performed on this
side of the Niagara, and father and daughter
came over to the DE Veaux College, and
lady BECAME the legal wife of California
lord She will sail for her Pacific home
about the 9TH OF February, and there j,in
her proxy husband, or seek him in the wids
of Mexico.
This is an un ncommen event in this coun-
try, but, perhaps. not entirely new even here.
In England marriages by proxy are not un-
common, and there have been many such
among the royal families OF Europe. -Buf-

Geld In Eastern Califo rnin.

By the overland mail that arrived at St.
Louis on the l7th, news is brought of ex-
citement existing IN Eastern California on
account of reports from the Gila gold mines.
About two hundred and fifty persons were
encamped near Fort Yuma on the Colorado.
and miners are prospecting along the entire
distance. The st. Louis Democrat gets it's
information from Mr.. Jones, passenger,
who says:
AT Los Angeles the excitement was very
great, and many of the inhabitants were pre-
pairing to emigrate to the Gila. The miners
informed MIR. Jones that they were doing
fair but they have to carry the sand at least
a mile and half and in some places more
than that distance in order to realize any
thing like good wages--say from ten to
twelve dollars per day. At some OF the sta
tions on the route the cooks, side drivers
and station-keepers were leaving the en-
ploy of the company and seeking the gold
regions.

birds still found themselves Gagged The sight of jerks
was rather unexpected. They it no CO. and so
they retired The three engaged in this attempt were
John Vose and Samuel Van Wort suspected of inord

who has been engaged in the gentee employment pass

secured the axe which they had used chop wood for
their fire. Thus armed they prepared for a tussle

WAR IN EuRoPE-A letter writer at Wash
ington says that several of the foreign minis
terS now there have lately received advices
showing that a war in Europe may, and prob
ably will, soon break out Should it once COM
mence no one can tell when it will end, or what
countries will become involved in it. If the
war be confined to France, Austria and Sar-
DINA, it will be of some benefit to the United
States. Should Italy and a great part of Ger
many and especially if England become enga-
ged in it, then it will be of incalculable bene-
fit to the United States, by giving us a ready
market for all our exportabIe commodities, and
profitable employment for our shipping. The
only question is, whether we shall have any
surplus of breadstutfS to export. Flour could
now be imported into this country at profit,
and so cheap and abundant is grain in Eng
land that it cannot be imported into that coun-
Try from any part of the world whatever with
out loss. 1t would seem, therefore, that the
United States is at present behind all the rest
of the world in agricultural products, of kind
necessary for subsistence and our products do
not annually increase in amount in proportion
to the increase of population and the extension
of our settlements in the west. Perhaps, how
ever, we may do better the coming season than
heretofore in this respect, and be prepared to
furnish the belIigerent nations of Europe a
supply of the products of our peaceful indus

SICKLEs Acquitted This celebrated trial
ended on Tuesday, 25th ult, after twenty days
continuance. The charge of the Judge favored
the prisoner, and the jury retired about two
o'clock on Tuesday, and returned at three with
q verdict of "NoT GUILTY !"
The verdict was received with loud and long
shouts of applause, at the close of which, and
on motion of Mr.. STANTON, Mr.. SIcKLEs was
discharged. Several carriages were soon at
the City Hall to convey him and his friends to
the residence of Mr. McBLAIR, one door from
his deserted home. The crowd attempted to
detach the horses, aid to draw Mr.. SIcKLEs'
carriage in triumph through the city, but it
was prevented. The jury were at first eleven
for acquittal, and one foY conviction but after
few moments, they were unanimous. The
Jurors visited SICKLEs' LAWYERS at their hotel,
and there nnboSomed themselves to the coun-
sci, who were affected to tears, over the deliv,
erance of their friend to freedom.

BS- From Utah, important news has come
to hand. There cannot long be inaction on
the part of the Federal Government. The
question is difficult one but it will have to
be met sooner or later. Delay will only in
crease the difficulties. Perhaps there never
has been more prOpitious moment for exer-
cising the authority of the United States,
without trespassng on any rights guaranteed
by the Constitution. The overthrow of the
Federal Courts, gives ground for decided ac-
ton, that justice may be administered accord
ing to the laws.
