FARMING PROSPECTS IN WAsHoE.-A cores
pondent Of the Alta, writing from Carson City under

Another evil arising from the effects Of the hard

cultural operations the farmers otherwise

consequence, not much grain will be raised here

II
ETfIE OwNERsHIP OF THE MINERALS The
county, says. the Record, was recently decided by
Smaw, and the material facts are the following'
Robert b. Moore is the owner in fee of body Of
land opposite the town Of 0rovle, on the west side
Of Feather river. This land is fit for nothing except
mining, and it contains large deposits Of aurfer0us
gravel, which can be prohtahly worked BY hydraulic
process. He derives his title by mesne conveyance
from the Mexican government, who granted the
land of which the premises in controversy part
on the 18th June, 1876 to the brothers Fernandez.
The grant was confirmed by the Land Commission,
and on the 18th of October lS57 patent issued
by the President of the United States. The granting
words of the patent contained no clause reserying
the minerals. In March 1862 syin dwStbe defendant,
entered upon the land of plaintiff and commenced
extracting the gold therefrom. Jhe plaintitkalNges
that he took $500 from the soil. This, Smav. dodst
not deny, and sets up that the gold and silver in ei
lands Of California belong to the State insits sote
reign capacity. He also alleges that thes State Of
California, as well as the general government, has
granted license TO all citizens of the United States
to go upon all the lands of the State whether pub
lie or private, and search for and appropriate the
royal mnerals-gold and silver. For the purpose
of the suit the plaintiff admits the existence of such
a license, and this reduces down the controversy to
the naked question-"To whom do the mines Of
California belongf" To the owner Of the soil, as
commended for by the plaintiff; or to the State Of
California as contended for by the defendant. Judge
Sexton held that the ownership of the soil carried
with it the minerals, and from his decision the de-
fendant has appealed the case to the Supreme Court

Ruchanan's Letter to WaIker-Popular Sow

Buchanan's Letter to OWalker-Popular Sow
ereignty In 1857.
From q special dispatch from St. Louis, dated
April 2Oth it appears that considerable ex-
citement had been created at Washington
among the Presidents partzans by the pab-
licaiiou of letter from the President to
Robt. J. Walker, when the latter assumed the
GoveruOrship OF Kansas. This letter was allu-
ded to by Mr.. Walker, some two years ago, but
is now published for the frst time. The follow
ing is the dispatch;

in regard to the submission Of the Lecompton
Constitution TO the people of Kansas. MI Bu-
chanan says:
"You may judge with what satisfaction we
received an account of the proceedings Of the
National Democratic Convention, held at Le-
compton on the Sd inst. The point in which
your success depends is the submission Of the
Constitution to the people Of Kansas have
no doubt you mean the bona fde residents, who
have been long enough in the Territory 10

tien of submitting the Constitution to the bona
dde residents Of Kansas. | am willing 10 stand
or fall
"The principle of the Kausas. Nebraska bill is
the principle of popular sovereignty. and the
principle of the confederacy of all popular gov
ernments The more it is discussed, the strong
err it will become. Should the Convention Of
Kansas adopt the principle, all will be settled
harmoniously."
In another portion Of his letter, Mr.. Buehan-
an reiterates the doctrine, saying:
~ would advice you TO make the great prin-
ciple Of Submission of the Constitution to the
bona fde residents of Kansas prominent. In
this you will be irresistible. With the question
OF climate every person is acquainted, and the
more you insist upon that, the more will our
opponents urge that we are violating the prin-
ciple Of fnon-interference Of the Kansas Nebraska
bill"
The publication OF President Buehanan's let
ter of instructions to Governor Walker pro-
duced great excitement at Washington. Atlor-
ney- General Black pronounced the letter for
gerry, in advance. and was challenged. He re-
fused to fight. The President has charged At
torncy General Black with inducing its publ-
cation. 1t is thought that it will result in dis
solution Of the Cabinet. The effect OF the diff
Guilty has been TO increase the chances of Doug
Las at Charleston, and his stock has risen mate

exceptional only, but we will be reminded of the
fact that they have happened repeatedly this win
ter, and in the very place of all others in which
a foreigner would expect to find whatever of re-

might really exist in the country If these facts,
therefore, are published shortly in Paris or in
London, though we cannot deny them, we will
/ quarrel furiously with the deductions that will
probably be drawn from them. We know, as
we have before said that the average intelligence
taste and good feeling of the country is much al ovt
what any one might infer it TO be after reading
such things as we have referred to. But we have
no right TO expect other people to accept our in
fcrences, derived though they are from more ex
tensive and accurate experience, instead of draw
ing conclusions from what they themselves have
seen. The sooner, therefore, we turn our atten
ton from our critics and devote ourselves to those
who furnish the former such good grounds fol
their adverse comments the better. Public opim
ion can at least compel public men TO observe AZ
outward show of decency in their department
and it is this class which is, more than any other
responsible for the faults and foes that cause thu
national character TO be so belied Instead. there

THE JOHN Brown RAID-MoRE REvELATIoNs-The
New \ ork Herald of yesterday contains what pur-
ports to be correspondence between Gov. Robin
son and Redpath and others, relating to affairs in
Kansas and the John Brown raid which max es
some curious developments. The correspondence
duplicates the leaders of the Republican party in
the Brown conspiracy, land shows that the events in
Kansas were but preliminary to the raid lat Harpers
Ferry, both being parts of the same scheme of
revolution concocted and organized four years ago.
When Robinson examined before the Senate
Investigating Committee, he asserted that ohm
Brown and Redpath were the only leaders in Kan
sas who avowed revolutionary designs and that
the Free State party had no connection with them,
and would not obey them 1t appears from this cor
respondence that Robinson himself was one of the
most ultra of the revolutionary leaders, outsripping
in atrocity even Johr Brown himself. Not only
did he endorse him by certificates and an address
"to the settlers of Kansas but he "coldly pro-
posed to him to assassinate all the leading federal
"oflicehoders in Kansas" Itfurther appears that
Robinson sought to bring all the Northern States
into the civil war which was about being naugu-
rated in Kansas, and that they proceeded thence to
the East for that purpose. The following is an ex-
tract from the letter of Redpath to Phillips:
You, perhaps, remember, Just before the sack OF
Lawrence by the border rufians that Robinson
started East l. for one could not understand why
he should want to leave at such time, and urged
him strenuously to stay; and when pressed for a
reason as to his departure, he told me that he saw
the whole country going to be involved in civi
war; and that he was going to the Free States tt
rouse the Governors and the people of them tt
arms, so that when the army came on us anotbc,
could strike our enemies elsewhere if necessary a
