IT is thought that Great Britain favors se'
cession, because it would give her a fair
swing at Mississippi, who borrowed sundry
millions from England good many years
ago, and then, by the advice of JEFF. Davis,
"repudiated" the debt. Secession being
accomplished, Great Britain would proceed

AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSTITUTIONAL is
known to our readers, that the last Legisla-
ture proposed several changes in the Consti-
tuition of this State, with the details of which
they are probably familiar. The next Leg
islature will pass upon the amendments, and
if adopted by that body, they will be submit
ted to the people at the next election. In
view of these facts it would be interesting to
know how the next Legislature will probably
stand on this important matter, and in cases
where the member is disposed to oppose the
movement, he should be instructed peremp-
torily to support them, for we are well as
sured that the people of California are in
favor of the change. We believe that the
delegation from this county will support the
amendments. We would like to hear the
matter canvassed, for it is clear that the al.
teration is of the very first importance, not
to say necessity, to the people of California.

Indian Outrage at Round Valley.

Reports have reached here that the Coast
Range Indians have commenced stealing and
numbering in the Coast Range and contigu-
GUS valley, with terrible atrocity. A descent
was made by them in the early part of this
week on Round Valley, in Mendocino county,
when they drove off all the stock they could
find, and killed several persons. Of the
stock driven away by them, there was alarge
band of American hersesy which had just ar
rived IN this country A company of citizens
was Immediately formed for the pursuit Of
the red devils. They succeeded in destroy
ing one hundred at one Indian camp, and
sixty at another. They found where the In
dians had killed several whites, one of whom
had been destroyed by burning at the stake.
These things are not TO be passed over. They
demand redress. If it is found that bad white
men, or scoundrelly Agents, are in any way
responsible for the hostility or disaffection of
the Indians, they should be vigorously dealt
with. We shall wait with conside. able anx-
iety for further news from that quarter, the
more especially as the scene of these outrages
is near this county.

New ORLEANS, Oct I7th.-The feet which
sailed from this port on Sunday, arrived at
Old Point on Monday, causing great excite
ment by its extensive character. A flag of
truce came down from Norfolk the Same day,
but Gen. Wool refused to receive it.
Now on closely examining this innocent
looking paragraph, we find that it contains
no less than four distinct lies, ridclicet: lst,
no feet could sail from New Orleans on ac-
count of the blockade I'd, there is no feet
in the Confederate Navy to sail anywhere
Sd, Old Point is near two thousand miles
away from New Orleans, and if the feet did
sail despite the blockade, which it couldn't,
and the pirates did have fleet, which they
have not, it could not sail to Point Comfort
in that time, which it didn't 4th, advices
paacing Gen. Wool at Washington. it is diff
cult to understand how "a flag of truce"
could "come down. to that place from Nor
folk, or how, if Wool was at Old Point, it
would "come down. to him there. As the
" flag of truce" alone seems to have partici-
patcd in the movement, it probably dropped

as the cone ussion doubtless disturbed his
temper, he very properly refused to have
anything to do with it, for which we CON-
mend him. Why this pony man, or who
ever it is, can out lie Comnissary in the
Confederate army. Again, in the same dis
patch, we are gravely told that Claib. Jack

The Paris Pays pays the following most just
tribute to the Southern States of the American Union
Let the independence of the South be recognized
that servie insurreetion openly and boldly preached
in the pulpts of the North may cease TO be an ever
present danger. In no part perhaps of the conti-
nent, regard being had to the population, do there
exist men more eminent and gifted, with nobler or
more generous sentiments, than in the Southern
States. No country possesses lovler kinder heart
ed and more distinguished women. To commence
with the immortal WASHINGTON, the list of states
men who have taken part in the government of the
United States shows that all those who have shed
lustre on the country and won the admiration OF
Europe, owed their being to the much abused South
And-strange coincidence-while Southern men

tic prosperity was the astonishment of the
world. In the hands of Northern men, that ediice,
raised with so much and labor by their prede-
cessors, comes crashing down. threatening to carry
with it in its fall the industrial future of every 9TH

reasonable time to examine its provisions, then
there is no other alternative for the border States
but TO call general Convention of all the South
ero States, for the purpose Of forming such Fede
raj Government as may be deemed necessary TO pro-
mote their happiness, prosperity and ndedenpence,
as a separate Confederacy.
II is painful TO me to contemplate the crisis which
has been brought upon the country by the rash and
indscreet counsels of some of our public men. But
what has been done cannot be recalled. 1t is our
duty patriots to initiate the example set by our
Fathers, and never give up the great heritage Of
liberty left as. Animated and cheered by their
maxims, let us hope that the people will still rally
and give us once more fraterna Union and Gov

TO all alike, protecting every section in its rights,
and employing the strength hf all the States in re-
pelling foreign oggressions.

points suggested for our future action but having
not the time you must accept this hasty note as the
only answer can make at present

flower discovered will wither away,
And fragrance soon follows the leaf to decay
1t floursheS, blooms and delights for an hour
Then dropping, 1t pines for its own native bower
And sinks, ere tomorrow has come, to the tomb,
Quite forgotten by those who admired its bloom
In this it resembles his story in life
Who, Graded to lux'ry, neer dreamt of the strife
Which change in his fortune comrels him to faes
Or yield to another, more hardy, his place;
But wholly untitled by nurture to WELD
The sword against fate he surrenders the field,
And steals to the grave unlamented away,
By those who caressd him in lifes brightest day.
And this is the token you would give me to keep
OF love that never shall cause me to weepl
A flower the thing of all Others most frail,
In world whose beauties but blossom to fail.
Forgive mel cannot accept it as such;
But still will cherish and love it as much,
And more, were its symbol no libel on thee
And the vow with which it was given to me.

The one bright star that in my lifes dark night
Shone out mid clouds, bright, radiant and sloneS
Can | forget thee
Ask the poor stricken flower
To live without the night-refreshing dew;
Alasl for me; my heart owns not the power
To give siagle throb without some thot Of yous

Call It soul-worship, or spirit tie,
Brighter than love--a better, purer flame
A thought feeling which can never die,

THE LOUISIANA SUGAR CRoP-A cor
respondent of the New Orleans Delta, wri-
ting from St. James Parish, under date of
the 4th instant, say: SAT this time we are
able to make an estimate of the next sugar
crop. The prospects for large one are
very fettering, and the Confederacy will
be able to export large quantity to the
United States. The seed cane was never
better, and many have more than they want.
The rattoons are all good, even the second
years. Vegetation is very forward, and the
cane already marks the rows in some lands;
with favorable season henceforth we may
reach the crop of 1853, say 400, 900 hogs
heads, and upwards, or double that OF
last year"

would hang sheet out of the window, and

who tugged Justify above. would gain an
entrance. 1t SO happened that one even
ing the girles hung out the sheet too early
and the old gentleman spying the article
could not conjecture the meaning Of it,
So he caught hold and endeavored to pull
it down. The girls, thinking it to be one
of their fellows, began to hoist and did lot
discover their mistake until the head was
level with the window-sill, when one of
them exclaimed, "Oh, Lord, it's dad?" and
letting go the sheet, down came the old
