Troubles at Home.

AS will be seen by reference to the details OF
the Pony news, TO be found on the hrst and Sc
cond pages of this week 5 paper, our countrymen
and kindred east of the Rocky Mountains are
in the midst of calamities never before expert
enced on this continent since the days of the
Revolution States are in open rebellion against
the General Government. Brother stands facing
brother, each with arms in hand, burning with
unnatural anger, and eager to shed each others
blood. Panic and distress prevail through the
land. All classes are in state of confusion and
dismay. The wives and little ones of the labor
ing men deprived of employment, will soon
begin to raise wall for bread, and their fathers
themselves fierce with hunger, and mad
dened by the cries of their flesh and blood
will-what will they not do with the mis-
cradle demagogues who have, for the sake of
getting into Office, brought all these calamities
upon them and their country? May God, in his
nticism, North and South, may alone fall into
their hands May our Sewurds and our
Toombses-our Summers and our Wigfalls-our
JEFF. Dayises, our Iyersons and our Hales and
sWades-may they and their kind alone fall into
the hands of the enraged and starving mobs,
North and South. Then our country will be
forever rid Of the greatest enemies she has ever
had-menwno have for years been prostituting
their great talents to the unholy purpose of en-
rendering bitter sectional feeling between the
people of the North and the South. and for the
eole purpose of accomplishing their own indi-
yidual POLITICAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. Already the
indications Of suffering among the laboring
classes of the North a:e overwhelming. Who
can doubt that the like state of affairs will
speedily, if they do not already exist in the
South? Then let the leaders of fanaticism,
North and South, look to themselves. Let them
hearken to the warning of the N. Y. Freeman's
journal, for it in part will apply to those of the
South rs well as to those of the North:
The continuance Of this political excitement pill
turn to streets tens of thousands Of men, scth-
out acork, acithout money, and fierce s0ih arant.-
Where are the leaders of the fanaticism that has
brought this woe the working classes to hide
themselves from the fury of the hungry mob?-
Are not the names of these leaders already bye-
words Will it need a prompter to tell the
maddened crowds who have been their tor
mentors? Beware you have thought you were
only exciting the blacks of the South against
their masters. Yau will find the discharged
white laborer OF our Northern cities far more
instant and uncomfortable element, and you will
be the victims of their fury. Quell the storm

RoBBED.-Granyille p. Swift, formerly of Te-
hama county, now living in Sonoma, is noted for
his want of faith in the honesty of every body.
Hence he always kept his great wealth buried
in the ground near his dwelling while living on
Stony Creek. We perceive that he kept up the
habit after he removed to Sonoma One of his
employees determined to find the deposit, so
furnishing himself with long sharp iron rod,
he probed the earth about Mr.. Swifts residence
until he " struck it rich" In fact he found
deposit of S25,O0O all in $50 slugs, which OF
course he appropriated. This happened some
months since. Swift held his peace but kept
his eye skinned, all the while suspectng his en-
ployee, "Long john" for the theft, who has
been spotted, and is now being trick. The
greater part of the treasure will, it is said, be
recovered. Swift was Captain under the Bear

The Expunging Resolutions.

The resolutions expunging the resolutions
passed, in 1859, censuring Senator Broderick
and requesting him to resign, passed tho As
semby the latter part of last week. We did not
deem their introduction polite We do not yet
believe they have accomplished or will accom-
plish any good. The censurng resolutions, con-
tanning as they did two distinct falsehoods, stood
as monument of disgrace to their authors, and
thereby reflected honor upon the mar whom
they belied. When they were adopted we ex-
pressed the hope that Broderick would spit upon
them in open Senate We think precisely as
highly of them now as we did then And yet
we believe the resolutions to expunge them
should mot have been introduced. We have
defended the name and fame OF Broderick when
it was political death to do so. And vet men
who have cursed us for doing so, and tried to
read US out of the party therefor, are now damn
ing US for not endorsing the wisdom of the in

Of the horrid affair seem TO be about as follows:
On Friday evening last, two negroes, walk

demonstrated with the negroes rather warmly,
probably, for their conduct, from which quar-.

or both the negroes. They were subsequently,
arrested and lodged in jail On Saturday even
ing one CT the wounded men died of his wounds,
ana IL was then determined by the population,
principally OF the Third Ward, that the negroes
shoulu be taken from Jail and lynched. Accord.
