Visit to Gen. Valleio's Residence.

The editor of the California Farmer
gives very interesting account of visit to
the residence of Gen. Vallejo, near Sonoma
from which we make the following extracts:
"The gardens and vineyard, as well as the
orchard, are now under the charge of Mr.
Giovinari, and although he has but little
help, he keeps them in most excellent order
About 10000 rooted foreign grape vines
have been planted this year, and 10000 cut.
tings Of the California grape. We learn in
full corroboraton of our own views that
the wine of the last year was much better
than that of the year before, the excessive
irrigation having been abandoned the pres
ent year no irrigation, but cultivation instead.
The fruit tree, were giving great
promise; pear, plum and cherry, full of fruit
spurs and just opening; the peach trees look
ed like pyrsanids of pink floss, Genes Of
flowers without leaf or touch of green,
here and there cone of white flowers; the
white peach. We have never seen such a
show of peach blossoms. We found the
wine vaults very interesting. We were con
Quoted to them by DR.. Faure, who rs an ex
perienced wine maker, has charge of them,
and his taste is of no ordinary kind. The
rooms or vaults are admirably arranged in
an adobe building, the one originally the
barracks, etc, of which we have spoken,
with very thick walls, and now plastered in :
side so as to be clean: vet dark and cool.
Light can be admitted as wanted. We had
an opportunity to taste the red wine of '5S,
80, an go, and as good wine needs no
bush, so these wines need no praise. They
will sell without it, for they are pure and
good; the wine of SO was extra. We
must record fact, however, i. e., the wine
of go was much better than 80, and this
the Doctor admits, for he says tn t too
much irrigation injured the vines, the fruit
WAS not ripened well and was wanting in
saccarine juice, and did not and never will
make so good wine as when not irrigated.
The Doctor says there will be no irrigation
to the vines in '6l; so we can look for some
extra vine Send it along Doctor we will
test it. Gen. Vallejo's vineyard made GOOO
gallons in so, 5000 in go, and will make
10000 in '6l. We were shown brandy;
it was very superior and pure The arrange
menis of the cellars, the neatness and order,
the perfect sweetness of the atmosphere,
obIiye us to speak in terms of praise. We
saw some fine butts that will hold 500 gal
Ions each; the Doctor says he will fill ten
such with one kind of wine this year. We
noticed the wine press, the disliIlng appara
tus, etc, all in clean good, order, lin some
sections of the State during summer, these
implements are left in bad orderly

A Good Word.

Under the caption of 1.-The Retiring Ad-
,ninstraton," the Butte Democrat pays the
following compliment to Mr.. Buchanan:
"lIe retires from the Presidential chair
with the proud consciousness of having con-
Quoted the affairs ef the government with
an eye single to the happiness and welfare
of the great mass of his countrymen, and
the stability and perpetuity of the Union.
The obloquy which has been attempted to
be fastened upon him by the regular oppo
siion, as we'll as those who oppose his ad-
ministraton from the most selfish and un
worthy motives, true and impartial history
will bestow upon his traducers. That Mr..
Buchanan may have erred in some respects,
is not improbable-to do so is human-but
his administration in future years, when the
maddening feeling engendered by temporary
causes, shall have subsided, will be more cor
rectly understood and better appreciated.
1t will be considered as having been charac
terized by craftsmanship, wisdom and patri-
o!ism.'

NUMBER 30.
A Yankee Anecdote.

DR.. Baton, a very eccentric clergyman,
was travelling in England. He met a fel-
low of one of the colleges, who was anxious
to make an inquiry of the doctor, provided
he would give no offense. The doctor told
him to "out with it., as he guessed it would
not hurt him much.
FELLow-The inquiry is this: Do YOU
think your present form of government will
stand, or that your people will not soon re.
quire king?
DR.. P.-Well, sir, that is indeed cues.
ton that does not fall in with my predilec.
tons, for am thorough Republican. Still.
| have no objection to answer your question
frankly. 1t is my opinion, one to which I
have come after much reflection that we
shall eventually have a king.
FELLow-l am sure of it! / am sure of
it! But have never seen an American who
was willing to admit it. Will you favor me
with the reasons on which you found your
opinion, for have no doubt they are Sood
ones.
Dir. P.-I think they are good ones, and
| will frankly state them to you. They are
these: | read in the Bible that when Israel
was virtuous people, God Governed them
generally with judges of their own choosing:
but when, in time they became corrupt and
degraded people, God, in wrath, gave them
king. As we are rapidly importing Euro.
pean manners and corrupt customs into the
United States, | greatly fear that we shall
degenerate until God will treat us as he has
the degraded nations of Europe, and give
us king!
The young mans curiosity was satisfied.

One Patriot Among Them.

On the 9th OF February Judge Kellogg, a
Republican Representative in Congress from
Illinois, made speech for Compromise, and
we think the sentiment embodied in that
speech, will meet the cordial appreciation of
every true patriot. 1t affords us great pleas
ure to record such sentiments, as having fall
len from at least one Republican. We re-
gret that the number Of patriots among them
is so few; but it is pleasure to record that
there is one righteous man in Sodom.
Mr.. Kellogg said:
"lle had been read out Of the Republican
patty by both Tribunes big and little, New
York and Chicago, but as he was going 10
read every man out who was not for peace
and harmony between the North and South
If the Republicans would only adopt his
compromise and do that to preserve the
Union which our forefathers did to make it,
the whole strife could be settled in one hour.
He proposed to restore the Missouri Com
promise, and put it into the Constitution
that Congress nor territorial legislature
should not interfere with slavery South of
the line. What the Missouri Compromise
said inferentially he wanted to say directly.
Farnsworth, Of Chicago, asked his COL
league if his proposition was not the Breck-
enrdge platform for all territory South, and
Douglas platform for all North.
Kellogg didn't care a copper about any
platform in Gods world. lie wanted to
save the Union. His colleague would do
nothing to save it.. He advised them to mi
CRATE 20 South Carolina.
Farnsworth retorted; he wouldn't yield
the principle that slavery should be extended
over thst Territory, to save the Union. The
principles of liberty are worth more than
government. much Kissing in the galleries
Kellogg declared that his proposition didn't
so now. By the Dred Scott decision all the
territory was slave. Every foot of territory
is legally slave, and it is too late to talk
about it. Is is no extension of slavery to
recognize what the law says. He asked il
Massachusetts wouldn't unbend to save the
Union? If he must part from his friends he
would give them blessing; and if they
must wander for while in the dark paths
of tanaticism, they wonld come back and
be welcomed to the first place in the fold.
The speech made good deal of excite
ment as developing the first great controver-
sy in the Republican ranks"
Suppose the Republicans had been actua-
ted by the same spirit as Mr.. Kellogg, what,
we ask, would haxe been the condition of
the country to day. Why, instead of being
on the brink of ruin, it would have been
peaceful, happy, and prosperous. But, un-
fortunately, they are nearly all Farnsworths.
They would not yield the principle that sla-
very shall not be extended over the Territory,
even 10 save the Union. No matter what
NAV be the Constitution and the laws, they
will not surrender their opposition to it,
even though the Union should, in conse'
quence of their obstinacy, tumble to pieces.
Had they been disposed to do right the
trouble could have heen settled at once-in
the language of Judge Kellogg, "the strife
could have been settled in an hour"

THE PRINTER.

Among the race of hun an kind
Some go before and some behind,
But mind them well and you will find,
Not hindmost is the Printer.

That you might not grow up q fool,
Had all in scientific rule,
Been published by the Printer.
How do your Presidents and Kings
Govern so many troubled things?
'Tis by the types, the screws and springs,
Belonging to the Printer.

Would sometimes scarce know what to do,
Could they not get certain view
OF work done by the Printer
The doctor cannot meet the crooks
or all the cases, till he looks
Upon the pages of the books
Supplied him by the Printer.
The lawyer for wit has passed.
But high as his head may be cast,
He would be but Ounce at last
We're it not for the Printer.
Who is it that so neatly tells
The various goods the merchant sells,
Inviting all the beaux and bellies!
Who is it but the Printer.
The classes of the human race,
OF different size, of different face,
Appear in this and every place
How obvious to the Printer.
One sings the base, one sharps and flats,
Bcdecked with pantaloons and hat.
And long-tailed oats and smooth cravats,
OF this class is the Printer.
The other sings the treble sweet.
Adorned with lrocks and bonnets neat.
And look! how beaute eous and complete,
And lovely to the Printer.
'Tis Hymen's will of course you know,
These classes should in couples go,
And since the world will have it so,
80 be it," says the Printer.
There's not a man below the skies
Who better understands to prize
The charms that grace lady's eyes,
Than does this very Printer.

'Tis hoped you'll duly estimate,
Before, in fact, it is too late,
The value of the Printer.

Characteristic Joke.

The following account of practical
joke recently perpelrated by some of the
Jolly "coves'' of Victoria, V. l., is related
10y the Colonist, and exhibits some of the
characteristics of the people of that flour
shing little city:
"A man inhabiting a small one-story house
across the ravne, retired to rest about ten
o'clock, rather the wors for liquor, and soon
fell into u sumber and visited the sweet
land of dreams How long he had slept he
knew not, but was awakened sometime be-
fore daylight bv a sensation as if cold water
was being thrown on his face and, when
fully aroused discovered that tho rain was
falling upon him, and his bed,clothes, shirt
&c, were completely saturated. To leap
from his couch was The work Of moment,
but, to his great surprise and discomfort, he
alighted in pool of mud and water. He then
sought to regain his bed, but after searching
for sometime, and finding it not, gave vent
to piteous cries for help, which were finally
heard 10y his nei ,hbors, who repaired to his
assistance with lights and found him stand
ing in the street, in state of seminudity,
almost perished by his exposure to cold
wind and a hesyv shower Of rain. lie was
extricated from his position and escorted to
his house-no, the place where it had once
Stood for it was there no longer! An exam
ination developed the fact that it had been
stolen from over the poor wight's head while
he slumbered, and he himself carried out on
his matrass and laid in the soflest mud to be
found in the neighborhpod. After day
light search was instituted, and the unfor-
tunae mans house found near Rock Bay in
good state OF prese'va ion. 1t came out
during the day that he had been the victim
Of party of wags, who, taking advantage
of his ''soggy" state, produced by numerous
drains, had played the joke off upon him.
The house being very small and of light con
slruction, and resting upon four loose stones
as foundation, offered no obstacle to the
successful carrying out of their designs.
A suit will be commenced against the par
ties at once, by the victim, we learn, for
damages sustained in the shape of rheumatic
pains and pleursy."
