Coon TIDINGs FOR CALIFoRNIA.- Postmast er
Weller, San Francisco, has been instructed by
Department that the Chorpenning contract for
carrying the mail overland, is annuled, and that
Russell, Majors q Co. are to do the service for
$4,000 year The Pony Express, so worthily
maintained until the Indian troubles began, has
been resumed by that enterprising firm, and it is
hoped Government will take immediate steps to
protect that great overland convenience from
further molestation and delay. The route trav-
ersed by it has thus far proved the most availa-
BILE and expeditions one 1t is generally express
ed opinion, however, that the central route can
never be safely Travelled until Brigham Young
and his thieving, blood thirsty minions are dis
posed of. The same amount of money now paid
for ocean mail transit with deserved protection,
would give California a semi-weckly mail over
the Russell & Majors route.

WEAvERvILLE. CALIFORNIA SATURDAY, JUNE 80. 1860

A WELL-INFoRMED ENGLIsHMAN.-We find the
following funny article in late number af a
daily newspaper, published in Liverpool. The
British editor gives an opinion as is at an opin-
ion' of the Crisis in the United States:
The boastful Republic, so much Wanted by
vainglorious Yankees seems on the brink of a
precipiee, from which retreat will be disgrace
and advance destruction. The very wisest of the
American Statesmen-Bonner, the Smith Broth
ers, Aaron Burr and others-are wranglng in
the House of Parliament, in the Columbia
District, over a little volume called the I'M
pending Crisis written by an Octoroon named
Heifer in which the author proves that, unless
the States South of the State of New Orleans
agree to abolish negro slavery the North will
supply them with no more shoe-pegs, and utter
financial ruin will be the consequence. The
members of Parliament who quarrel over this
singular book, bctray all the American charac
terstcs in their savage abuse OF each other, ana
sometimes they even come to blows. Ihe Hon
Charles Sumner, one of their number was re-
Gently fired upon by a man named Hooks and
just before the Asia sailed it was reported that
a member named Askins was detected IN the act
of throwing away a heavy rifle, which he had
previously managed to carry in pocket made
expressly for it.
Though we have no particular faith in the
stability of what the Americans call their Re
publican Institutions we are sorry to see our
cousins working their own ruin with the edge
sword of political iucompaubility. AS Tree
born Englishmen we are bound to sympathize
with the so called Aboitonists' of the Northern
States of Georgia, Nashville, Harper's, Virginia
etc. in their efforts to free the negroes from
bondage. Some of the greatest men now living
in America are blacks-the famous James Brown
was a negro, therefore the Governor of Harper s
Ferry hung him. Horace Greedy, the famous
journalist, is a negro their great sensation
preacher, Henry Wood Beecher, is said to be a
quadroon. Yet despite such evidences OF tne
tellect as well as in everything else, the South
ern members of Parliament, led on by a Mr. Sip
p are threatening to dissolve tho American
Union if they are not allowed to hold 'neH
slaves iu New Y ork.
There can be but one termination of this state
of things in America. Civil war must eventual
ly break out among such discordant elements,
aud then the Union will cease to be forever!

HUMOROUS INCIDENT.-A laughablc incident
occurred recently, not many miles from Dams
vlle the circumstances Of which are related by
the Daily Herald of that village, as follows;
An old gentleman farmer who had two hand
some daughters, was so cautious OF his charge
that he would not permit them to keep the com
pany of young men. However, they adopted
the following expedient to enjoy the company Of
their lovers After the old man had retired to
rest, the girls would hang sheet out OF the
window, and the beaux would seize hold of it,
and with the assistance of his lady.love who
tugged Justify above, would thus gain entrance.
1t SO happened that one evening the girls got out
the sheet too early, for the old gentleman, by
some ill wind, was accidentally around the
corner, and spying the sheet, could not conjecture
the meaning of its being there's so he caught
hold and eDdeavored to pull it down the girls
supposing it to be one of their fellows, began to
hoist and did not discover the mistake until the
old mans head was level with the window sill,
when one of them exclaimed, "Oh, Lord tits
dad !" and, letting go the sheet, down came the
old gentleman on the hard ground dlslocating
one shoulder, which convinced him that to make
old maids of his daughters was matter not so
easily accomplished; and withdrawing all further
opposition to their keeping company, he was
soon father in law.
ONE of the neatest resorts ever given, was
that which Lord Erskne met at the hands of
Sheridan. 1t appears that Lord Erskine declared
at large party, in which Lady Erskne and Mr..
Sheridan were present, I" that wife was only a
tin canister tied to ones tail" Upon which
Sheridan presented Lady Erskine with the fol
lowing lines
" Lord Erskine, at women pretending to rail-
Calls a wife "a tin canister tied to ones tail :

ison.
But wherefore degrading, consider argh

ARMS FOR VoLUNTEERs-The Hon. Clement G.
Vaandgham, Of Ohio has given notice, in the House
of his intention TO introduce bill to increase the num-
Der of arms annually distributed by the Government to
the militia of the States The appropriation for this
purpose has hitherto been $780, 000 which Mr.. Naan
digham proposes to increase to $6O0O00-an amount
certainly not too large if the demand for arms with
which to equip voluntary military companies ought to
be anything like nearly satisfied
The measure is timely, and, we believe judicious
1t has before been talked Of but action has been
neglected. while every year the demand for arms has been
increasing. Officials have been and are still bese not
only with opportunities but complaints and HUNDREDS
of companies remain unorganized where il the supply
of arms had been more liberal, gallant and efficient
volunteer force would have existed ready and eager u
take up arms in any emergency.
