BRoDERIcK's WILL.-The scaled depositions
taken by Commissioner John X. Hackett, at New
York. with reference to the will OF Broderick, were
opened last week in the San Francisco Probate
Court. From the answers to the interrogatories
therein contained, it appears that the will Of the
late Senator, which gives John A. McGlynn $4,000,
and the residue Of his estate to Geo. Wilkes, was
drawn by A. A. Phillips, at Broderick's request
and in his presence, in the Metropolitan Hotel in
New York, on the I'd of January, 1859; that John
]. Hof Of Hoboken accidentally came in while they
were about it, and was one Of the witnesses to the
will at Broderick's solicitation. Broderick charged
them to regard the matter as entirely confidential,
and both OF them affirm that they never made men
ton Of the will until after Broderck's death.

VINE DREssINd.-As soon as the berries on the
grape vine are formed, says correspondent Of the
San Andreas Independent, then is the proper time
to remove badly formed punches, permitting the
largest and best TO remain. Half Of the fruit should
generally be removed, allowing only one bunch on
each bearing shoot. BY removing portion Of the
fruit the remainder will be much enhanced both in
size and bloom, more thoroughly ripened, and all
together superior 20 those where the vine is permit
ted to bear every bunch that shoots. A week or so
after the punches not wanted are removed, will be
the proper time to trim or shorten the shoots,
when small berries will swell rapidly they need not
be again trimmed until after the seeds have been
formed when they will take another start and again
swell rapidly until their full size Is attained. During
the latter swelling they ought to be at least twice
drcesed.

REMARKABLE PETR1FAcTIoNs.- The Marys-
vile Democrat gives some incidents of the recent
expedition of Captain Stevens party to the Black
nOck country, in the matter Of discoveries:
Among other curious discoveries which he men
tions, is that Of petrifed tree lying in desolato
region about sixty miles north Of Black Rock, and
partly buried in the soil. Its length far as
measured, the top being deep under ground, was
666 feet, and the general opinion Of the company
looking at il, was that it from forty to sixty
feet in diameter. Captain Stevens thinks it is OF
the same species as the trees Of Mariposa. Frag-
ments Of other trees Of the same kind but smaller,
are visible here and there-stumps and butts OF
thirty feet in length-all pctrifed. And il is more
than probable that little excavation would disclose
vast primeval forest there buried. This tree lies
exactly where it fell centuries ago, for there the
upturned roots, in Just the position they would most
naturally be, and the prone trunk bears no evidence
Of having been distrebed.
Champlin, member of Capt. Stevens company,
has called on us, and shown us specimen OF the
big tree alluded to. II is very curious to look
at. The petrfcation in the specimen before us
plainly indicates the part Of the tree from which il
He showed us also pctrifcation of fat pine which
he struck from a petrifed stump in the same
vicinity. II looks SO natural that you can almost
fancy that you smell the resin when you put il "a
your nose 1t is certainly marvellous preservation
record as durable as time. In the same place
the company found the shin bone Of man, pet
rified and the upper jaw Of grizzly, but twice as
big as the jaw of any grizzly ever seen in modern
times. Champlin brought with him some very
pretty agates picked up few miles from Black
Rock.

read daily the exultation of German
papers converted to the true principles,
while we have Welsh papers which have
been fighting manfully on, the side of
Republican doctrines from their organi-
zation, left in utter oblivion! The Cam,
bro american, published at No. 102,
Center St., New York, by our indefat
igable countryman, j ohm NJ. Jones, Esq,
has accomplished more for the advance
ment of the true doctrines in civil gov
ernment than fifty of some other jour
nails that are literally remunerated for
their servile services. This paper circu-
lates among thousands of intelligent
readers; still his labors of love are en-
tirely overlooked by our leading candi-
dates! He published at full length the
able speech of the Hon. Carey A. Trim
BILE ON the tariff bill, which was a mas
terly vindication of the policy of the Re-
publican party. 90 =
With such standard bearers at the
head of our ranks, as Lincoln and Hor-
ton, hope the Welsh voters will be a
unity at the elections this fall. Omitted
we stand, divided we fall, is a true doe
trine; which has been demonstrated in
every single case. Both of the above
candidates deserve our hearty support.
They deserve our support for their pa
triotic views of civil Government. They
deserve our support for the philan-
thropic operations Of their eventful lives.
They are not those contracted misers
who heap up riches for their own sakes,
merely. Lincoln is one Of the great pi-
oneers and explorers of the great North
west, where thousands of our country
men have followed in his footsteps and
have found happy homes, and acquired
a competency Horton is the great
moving spirit in all the enterprises of
this vast region. He is the one who has
developed the inexhaustable resources of
our mountains and valleys. and afforded
employment to the industrious workmen,
and ready market for the farmer. He
is the strongest of the two. IF they had
hitched V. B. at the Wigwam in Chicago
at the head we would have a stronger
team. For V. B. is the soundest poll
tieian, the fairest patriot, the shrewdest
financier in the whole country. In
1864 the people will place v. B. where
he ought to be now: at the head of the
general government. take the respon-
sibility Of the nomination myself to avoid
the blunder and disasters connected with
great National Conventions. Fifty three
cheers for Mr. Horton and the Republi-
can platform. Come on, ye brave Welsh
men and give the enemy of our free in
stitutions the mortal blow. DELTA. =

B@ There is likely to be some politi-
cal litigation in N. Y, growing out of the
contract of sale entered into between the
leaders of the Douglas and Bell parties.
Hunt, Brooks & Co., the managers of the
Bell party, entered into contract to sell
and convey to the Douglas managers
the entirs body of voters who were in
favor of Bell and Everett. After the
agreement was signed and sealed, it was
discovered that the grantors in the deed
could only deliver part of the stock so
sold. A considerable number of those in
cluded in the bill of sale, claim that they
were free born, and actually dispute the
right of their pretended masters to dis
pose of them in that manner. They
deny that the "Fugitive Slave Law" ap-
plies to their case, and they will not ac-
knowledge the authority of their pur
chasers. It is a case of very clear re-
bellion, and is creating very intense ex-
citement, not only in New York, bat
throughout the country. If the rank
and file of party are once permitted to
rebel against the authority of their lead
ers when transferred for consideration,
they are but little better than Black Re
publicans, and will very soon be such.
So great calamity must be averted by
some means, but these means are not yet
discovered in New York. In France, or
Turkey, or Congo, or Virginia, there
would be no difficulty in the case; but in the
barbarous condition of the people of the
North, such embarrassments will over
take the schemes of the wisest calcula.
tors. And until the people can be edu-
Gated up to the plantation standard, we
know of no adequate remedy. .rr ..,r

PROGRESS.

The Lincoln fever is spreading rap
idly in Maryland. A new Republican
paper has just been started there. It
is said that there are at least two thou
sand German Republicans. in the city of
Baltimore alone. Many of the old line
Wings have become so thoroughly dis
gusted with the "trade and dicker" be-
tween the leaders of the Bell and Doug
las parties, that they are announcing
their purpose of voting for Lincoln and
Hamlin. Several of the ablest Bell pa
pers in the State are assuming the same
position. They say they are honestly
and in good faith. in favor Of Bell and
Everett as their first choice; but will not
be transferred by gambling demagogues,
to the support of either factions of the
demoralized and sinking Democracy
The signs are cheering. Not that we
think Lincoln will carry Maryland, for
we have no idea he will do So. We
suppose he has no morefchance of carry
ing any Slave State, than Douglas, or
Bell, or Breckinridge has Of carrying
any of the Free States. But the fact
that the Republican party is young, Wig
orous, and growing, the vote it will re-
ceiye in the border Slave States now
will insure to it, Delaware, Maryland,
Kentucky and Missouri four years
hence. There are no elements in mod
ern civilization which makes it possible
for the Democratic party to recover its
lost position It tneust, in the very ne
cessity of things, continue to decline,
while the Republican party must in
crease and become all powerful.
Every element of opposition to free
dom, every form of insane passion, every
phrase of unreasoning prejudice, every
leader Of blind faction, is already at
home in some wing of the Democracy,
and there are, moreover, still lingering
in its fold, thousands of honest men, cit
izens who really have at heart the best
interests of their country. But with all
these, the party has dwindled into mi
