The FLORA OF CALIFORNIA;. S. Taylor

writes thus to the Cdl Farmer:
The scientific botanists affirm that there
are as many as twenty-five species of cone
bearing trees in our State, of which twelve
are pines, and of these pines at least eight
species produce edible nuts, always extern
sively used by the Indians, from one end of
the State to the other. There are also ten
different oaks, the acorns of which continue
to be favorite food of the Indians. The
Flora of California is said indeed to include
the wonderful number of five thousand diff
ferent species of plants, and is one Of the
most abundant, celebrated, curious and in
teresting, of any country on the earth's sur
face, and continues to excite the admiration
and interest of the florists, arboriculturists
and botanists of the first schools of Amer
ica and Europe.

age of the Government in their hands
they were content to swindle the people
under the name of Democracy; but, now
that they are about to be turned out of
the Offices they have disgraced, their
true characters are revealed, and in re-
venge, they propose, with the. incendia-

the traitors rabble, to deluge in blood
the land they can no longer plunder by

and we believe next Tuesday will do
th2t work.

DlsUNIoN cONsPIRAclEs.

The Winchester Union, Bell paper
published at Winchester, KY, gives a
long account of secret leagues, for the
purpose of effecting the dissolution of
the Union. Documents of the most
reasonable character, and some of them
written in cipher, are being circulated
with the view of furthering the aims of
the conspirators. The Union, after ex-
posing these secret plots, so far as they
have come to light, concludes as follows:
''Is there not enough in all this to
carry alarm to every one? Where do
not these reasonable organizations exist?
If they are in BreathitS and Owsley, may
they not be Clark? May they not be in
every county in the State? Who is safe?
Who is true to his country? These are
just now grave and serious questions
We hope our Union contemporaries will
spare no time to spread the news of these
discoveries far and wide, and let the
friends of the Union know in time of the
treason that is Matching in our midst and
all around us. Not moment can be
lost There are men in Kentucky now
plotting to subvert the Government. 1t

It is here at our homes.

The Tallahasse Floridian records the
following: ' -a- ...a -.'-.
Calhoun county, in West Florida,
has long been notorious for immortality
and crime among portion of its inhab-
itants To rid themselves Of these, a
number Of citizens organized Regula-
ting Band and sought to expel the out
laws by regular foray, In the melee,
two men, belonging to the former, were
killed, whereupon the civil authorities
interposed and sought to enforce the
laws. A correspondent of the Sentinel
writes from Marianna, October I'd:
Judge Mcintosh suggested the pro.
priety of Judge Finley and our. Solici-
tor, Col. Barnes, coming into this coun-
try to try if possible to get them the
Regulators to desist and disband.-
They went and on Monday night Gen.
Anderson received dispatch by special
messenger, from the Judge stating that
his efforts had proved abortive, and for
him to summon out 200 men and come
to the assistance of the civil authorities.
So to-day we are making preparation,
and will leave tomorrow morning at 10
o'clock for the seat of war This band
of Regulators has been organized some
two months, and have been trying to
compel what is known as the Burden
party to leave the county. They the
burden party] have SO far resisted, and
are now in arms for the purpose of self
protection. 1t is reported that the Reg
ulators number some 175, and. they say
that they can bring to their assistance
500 men, mostly from other counties. :
The other party only numbers some 25
or 3d.
The presence of the militia produced
the desired effect, and the result has
been the restoration of quiet. Some few
arrests have been made; burden and a
man by the name Of Musgrove, in col
lusion with Burden, are reported to
have been killed. At last accounts
"order reigned in Warsaw" Quiet has
no doubt been permanently restored.

Desperate Family ARRAY IN Virginia.

A correspondent of the Petersburg

c. gives the following account Of a most
brutal and desperate fight,
A man named Jackson accused his
neighbor Davis of having stolen some of
his hogs, and on last Friday evening, in
walking around his farm, he discovered
three of Davis children on his land,
whereupon he carried one of them home
with him. The two other children re-
turned home and told their parents what
had happened Infuriated, they armed
themselves with guns, axes and knives,
and soon presented themselves at Jack
sons house, where general fight en-
sued, in which both men, women and
children participated. They shot until
their ammunition gave out, and then
closed in with axes, knives and gun-bar
rels. During the shooting, son of
Jacksons, mere boy, was killed by Git

Seven of the party were dangerously
wounded-one of the women having re-
ceived broken arm, and, it is said, fifty
buckshot! From all accounts, they
fought as long as they could, and quit
with mutual consent. The surviving
parties have been arrested and placed in
the county Jail to await trial.

THE WESTERN RESERVE.

{ We have some limber-b backed, half
way Republicans in Southern Ohio,
who, for the vain. hope of getting few
dozen floating votes from men without
principles, are willing to denounce the
"Reserve" as radical" andiprotest that
they have no sympathy with the cyan
KEGS" We do not propose a vindica-
tion of the people of the "Reserve. p
They don't need it. When our week
kneed brethren of some Of the Southern
counties consent to change their milk
andwater policy for the noble adherence
to principle as exhibited on the 'sRe-
serve" they will find the ;honest masses
Of the people with. them, as they never
will, and never ought to be with them
on any other terms. This fact is hap
PLY becoming apparant even to the dull
apprehension of old "fogyism" ITSELF -
And in several of the counties on the
River, the campaign this fall, for the
first time, was carried ON fairly and
honestly on Republican principle, and in
every such case great gain, if not a
complete triumph, has been the response
of the people.
But our purpose was merely to give
the Republican majorities in the Re
serve counties, that all may see what
would be the condition of the party
without this vote. It is as follows:

POLITICAL SUICIDE.


MIA have withdrawn their Electoral ticke
in that State, and call upon their follow
ers to vote for the Breckenridge or mon
grel ticket. The Bell men, we believe,
have agreed to vote for the same squad
of disunionists We are glad of this, as
it will give the Republicans an oppor-
tunity of crushing out all the factions at
once. The result of the ''fusion'' on
the State ticket, one would have thought,
would have taught the leaders wisdom
But it seems they are past learning =
We have not doubt that Lincoln's ma
jority in Pennsylvania will reach 40, 900
over all possible ''fusions." F" The act of
the Douglas party in Withdrawing their
Electoral ticket, we consider an act of
deliberate party suicide. It will be
wholly impossible. should they desire to
do SO, to revive the party after this cleo
tion. Henceforth, the Breckinrdige
wing will be the only Democratic party
of the Country. -:-..-..
Breckinridge will carry most of the
Southern States. This will give the
party basis upon which to stand
Douglas will carry no State, either North
or South. And his followers have ut
terly destroyed the party organization in
nearly every State, by their corrupt
illusions" and desperate bargains, with
all other factions. Thus demoralized
and absorbed, it will be impossible to
the forces. The better class
of the voters will fall naturally into the
Republican ranks, while the political
gamblers who have led the party to it's
ruin will as naturally take their position
in the ranks of the disunionists. We
shall have, therefore, in future, but two
parties. The great Republican party,
with its just principles, aiming SO to con-
duct the policy of the Government as to
protect freedom and encourage free la
Dor, will be sustained by the masses of
all the States where men are free to speak
and act their honest sentiments, and will
work its way to final triumph in the
slave States, if the intelligent part of
their Shareholders are not kept
down by the barbarous rufianism of bru-
tai mobs, On the other hand, there will
be party of slavery propagandists in
the South, with their tools and instru-
ments in the North, who, with Lynch
Committees, and reign Of terrorin one
section, and a persistent continuation of
a system of Misrepresentation and slang,
in the other section, where they dare
not use force, will work persistently
for the overthrow of a Government
which they can no longer WELD for their
own personal benefit.
There may besome commotion-some
desperate efforts by desperate men, to
involve the country in civil war on the
election of Lincoln, but these efforts and
these men will, we believe, be promptly
put down.

that city, accusing her of theft. AS he
had brought her voluntarily into the
State, the woman was free, but Mr.. Co.
hen charged her with theft to get her
entangled the meshes of the law, and
thus obtain possession of her again, if
possible; but the charge was not sus-
tanned, and the Judge ordered the wo-
man to be discharged.

Parson Brownloyy on a Southern Con-
federacy.
Parson eBrownlow, in late number

federacy.
Parson eBrownlow, in late number
of his paper, says:
"Some of our laboring classes think
very hard of the sneering and contemp-
tuous manner Yancey spoke of white
women at the North, who stand over the
washtub and cook around fresides.-
Others thought still harder of the scorn
full manner in which he spoke of the
white men at the North, backing boots
and driving carriages, characterlzing
both the occupation of white men and
women who do SO, as degrading menial
service. True, it was very severe in its
bearing upon our own citizens, nine
tenths of whom are degraded, according
to Yancey S views of the dignity Of labor.
But this is really nothing to what awaits
us, if Southern Confederacy shall
be established The wealth and aris-
tocracy of the eight cotton States, will
be represented in that confederacy, and
will control it, and the right Of voting
will be limited to those who own slaves.
The government will be that of slave
oligarchy,' and none but the owners Of
slave property will be allowed to vote.
In this way they will get rid of the Irish
ard German vote, and the native poor
of our own country!

B1 Stephens, of Georgia, who has
been the right-hand man of Douglas in
the South, has just abandoned the fallen
fortunes of the stump candidate. Ste
phens had been announced to speak at
Centralia, with Douglas. The st. Louis
Bulletin tells the reason why he did not
in these words: -......... ....r
owe were greatly surprised, last Mon
day, when we learned that the brilliant
and distinguished Georgian, Alexander
H. H. Stephens, had failed to meet his
long announced appointment to speak at
Centralia that day with Mr.. Doug las
The mystery is explained. He says that
the recent elections have satisfied him
that Douglas will not get an Electoral
vote of single State; that there is i'm
minent danger that Lincoln will be
elected; and that it therefore becomes
the duty of every Southern man in the
presence Of the dangers which stare him
in the face, to forego his personal prefer
ences, and to use erery effort to combine the
South, as band Of brothers, IN support
of that candidate aoho Is not only evidently
the most popular, but aoho is, at the same
time, the most earnest defender otithe rights
of the South and the States; and that, be-
li;eyiing that Mr. Breckenridge IS that man,
he hopes that the people Of Georgia aoiU
give him their unanimous COTE
Alas! poor Douglas! His friends for
sake him in the time of his greatest
need. How this cool desertion must
gall the very soul of Douglas. After
having sacrificed consistency, manhood,
the confidence of the North, and the vi
tai interests of free labor to win the sup
port of the South, to have his chief sup
porters there coolly abandon him, be-
cause he has so lost the North, must be
bitterness, indeed. But it is a most
righteous retribution.
