aeeL- 1t may not be generally known, says g
foreign correspondent, that an artificial leather
IS now manufactured in London 70 an extent
likely eventually to supercede the natural arti.
Gle As the demand has lately exceeded the
supply causing loss and injury to every one By
raising the price Of leather, it is matter feon-
graduation that substitute has been found
Caoutchouc and napiha are the main constitu-
ents but the disagreebe odor of the naptha in
the ingenious process Of manufacture entirely
disappears, so that less smell remains than in
ordinary leather. The peculiar advantages Of
this product are, that however thin it does not
tear easily, resists damp, may be exposed long
to moisture without injury, is always dry, that
its polish is enhanced by friction, and that it Is
not easily abraded. The larges. piece that can
be obtained from bullocks hide is seven by
five feet, including the interior parts whereas
vegetable leather is produced fifty yards in
length and one and half wide, of equal quail
ty, and of any desired thickness, the smallest
portion being convertible. Its thickness may
be carried to any extent, its strength is marvel
Gus. and it is but third the price Of animal
leather.

ping in the liquid, arrange around the sides of
the pail at regular intervals SO that one end of
each wick will be hanging in the cider and the
other end hanging down outside, and below the
bottom of the pail. By means of all these wicks
the pail will gradually be emptied Of it contents,
which, tricking over the sbayngs, will be ex-
posed to the air, absorb oxygen, and finally be
received in the tub beneath By returning the
liquid into the pail above and suffering this

FROM HUMBOLDT COUNTY From the Times we
learn that two " men, supposed to be from Sac
ramento, were recently murdered by Indians
while on a hunting excursion near Mattole VAL
ley, at place called Shelter Cove. A party
from the Valley went in search oftbe murdered
men, and found most Of their effects in the hands
of Indians, one CT whom confessed that they had
attacked the deceased while they were encamp-
ed for the night, and after killing them, cut
their bodies in pieces and threw them into the
surf The party killed some sixteen of the In
dams and took some prisoners. The names of
the AaFdered men are not known" These say
ages are a portion of the same that were cap
tured by Capt. Messec, and placed upon the
Mendocino Reservation. If they escaped, why
may not many of the Pit River Indians escape 2
We convinced that the Superintendent Of
Indian Affairs made great mistake in moi TAX
ing these sayages to TETON. We shall be de-
lighted if our fears are not realized the coming
spring and summer

Views of J. c. Calhoun on Congregational
Intervention.

On the eth of June, ls4S, Hon, John C. Call
houn advanced the following views in regard to
Congressional Intervention:
There is very striking difference between
the position on which the slaveholding States
stand in reference to the subject under consid-
GRAFTON, (the prohibition of slavery in Oregon
The former desire no action of the government;
demand no law to give them any advantage in
the Territory about to be established, are willing
to leave it and other Territories belonging to
the United States, open to all their citizens so
long as they continue to be Territories and
when they cease to be. to leave it to their in
hahitaRts to form such governments as may suit
them, without restriction or condition, except
that imposed by the Constitution as a pre-re-
quiste for admission into the Union In short.
they are willing to leave the whole subject where
the Constitution and the great and fundamental
principles of self-government place it. On the
contrary, the -siaveholding States, instead of
being willing to leave it to this broad and equal
foundation demand the nterpostion of the
government, and the passage of an act to pre-
vent the citizens of the slaveholding States from
| emigrating with their property into the Terri
| tory.
81 hold that justice and the Constitution are
the easiest and safest guards which the ques-
ton can be settled, regarded in reference to
party. II may be settled on that ground simply 5s
non-dction leaving the Territories free and open
! to the emigration of all the world If party
cannot safely take this broad and solid position
and successfully maintain it, what other can il

Rzl5~ The New York Tribune closes an article
on the death of John Brown, as follows:
Yes, John Brown dead is verify n power
like Samson in the falling temple of Dagon-
like Ziska, dead, with his skin stretched over a
drumhead, still routing the foes he bravey
fonght while he lived. Time will doubtless make
plain the object and the effect of this sacrifice,
and show the errors of Man overruled and made
benefcent by the wisdom and loving Justice of
God. So let US be reverently grateful for the
privilege of living in world rendered noble by
the daring heroes, the suffering of martyrs
among whom let none doubt that History will
accord an honored niche to Old John Brown.
Remember, Republicans of California, the
Tribune is the leading Republican organ of the
Union. The Tribune glorifes old Brown, and
for what? For going into Virginia in order to
free men who would not accept of his aid and
there killing number of men who had never
done him a wrong, and robbng others who had
never seen or harmed him. For murder and
robbery he is to be canonized by the Republi-
cans as a martyr.

adulterated article, and assuming no artificial
merits of what it is not, as some of its rival imi-

ing their water as well as their climate; who are
drinking, indeed, dozen kinds of water in ev-
cry twenty-fouF hours, and each draft contain
ing some property acting in chemical antagonism
to the preceding one, thereby causing an unnat-
ural degree of excitement to the stomach-it is
positively and absolutely ne, essary to use a

"London Club House Gin,
is prepared expressly to meet such exigencies,
and to act as we know it will act, as an anti
dote, we confidently prescribe it as the very best
article in the country. The name of Aromatic

in any way to this article. In first presenting
the
"London Club House GIn'

and unadulterated article of. Gin, and to call it
by its right name. The success attending its
introduction and extensive sale in California is
a sufficient guarantee Of the high appreciation
of the article by consumers.
Various parties have from time to time put up
and shipped to California an article which they
call Club House Gin" My Gin, which has
g9ined such reputation in California, is brand

"4he prinoipai points IN tue Iorineoming Mes
sage may be thus briefly given; Recent events
IN virginia will bring forth some emphatic re-
marks on the danger which all sections of the
country incur from the growing tendency to ar
range parties on geographical grounds, and also
from the increased disposition in the public
mind to hold lightly the obligations of loyalty to
the Constitution. Another point of domestic
policy which it will touch upon is the protec-
tlon to slavery in the territories While tho Pre-
sident holds 1t to be constitutional doctrine on
this point he deprecates legislation in anticipa-
ton OF its being required, and thinks we should
wait until the emergency comes up. If Con-
gress will follow his advice, the whole subject
will sink quietly down, for in five years more
we shall have no territories on which to agitate
the question. The condition of the Post Office
Department. in the absence of appropriations by
the last Congress, is a subject of earnest com
mem, with recommendation of speedy action.
IN order to relieve the Department and the
country from the evils that accrue in the present
state affairs. In regard to revenue and finance
the recommendations Of the Message will prob
ably embrace some important considerations,
although the trade of the country will exhibit
vast recovery from the depression of the last
two years.

SINGULAR.-Every month missionaries to the
heathen Of Asia are started from the Eastern
States. Many of them touch at San Francisco
on their way to the scenes of their future labor.
There are more than 100000 heather in this
State-the Indians. Among this 100000 hea-
then there is not one single missionary. Do
missionary societies believe that our Indians
have souls? True they are not negroes. If they
were the Abolitonsts would doubtless long ere
this have sent men to convert them to Christian
ity-but they are intellectually superior to the
African Congo negro. 1t has often seemed sngu-
lar to us that the Christian Church in the East
ern States should manifest should interest for
the conversion of the serfs of China and the
Slaves Of Africa, and at the same time be totally
obliyious of the presence in our own wide do
main Of several millions of bloody, savage hea-
then. 1t does seem to US that it would be well
for our religious folk to convert our own heathen
before we turn our attention to other peoples
heather.
