CHILD-MARRIAGEs,-- AS journalists we have
no right to pry into the domestic affairs of
the community, or proffer unasked advice
upon private matters. We intend to do no
such thing. We design our remarks to be
general, and aim to condemn practice that
must be viewed with regret by every sensible
adult.
We may be allowed to state that several
instances have come to our knowledge of the
marriage, in this vicinity, of little girls of l2
ana 10 years of ege to grown men; one at
least, with the consent of the parents. Can
any rational idea be entertained by the hus-
band, or by the parents, of the nature of the
life thus imposed upon child scarcely of the
age of consent? A feeble little creature,
without knowledge of the world sufficient to
enable it to form any conception of the ma
ture of the obligations and duties it assumes
with body so immature that many summers
are needed to develop it into the likeness of
woman; is hurried into a condition of life
where the lightest penalty to be expected is
destroyed constitution, and premature old
age. In such connection it is hard to con-
ceive of any love, in its hoiest sense. on one
side, or chivarous respect, on the other In
the fiery climes of the tropics, where ripeness
and rottenness are early, girls of thirteen are
often as fully developed as in our colder eli
mate they are at eighteen. But here they
are childish weaklngs, needing mothers
constant care, and as unsophistcated as in
fants. Their bodies are as unripe as their
minds. Nature is outraged by subiecting
them to the burdens of wife, and will be
sure to infiict its terrible revenges. We de-
sign to speak plainly upon this subject for
we deem it crime against natural laws, and
needing to be discouraged by the indignant
voice of public opinion. For Gods sake, if
any more such sacrifices are in contemplation,
let them not be contaminated. One such ex-
ample, unrebuked is worse than thousand
instances of ordinary crime.-NfvGda Trans

WILSON FLINT-The Butte Record is par
ticularly severe upon Wilson Flint. The edi-
tor of the Record was on intimate terms with
Mr.. Broderick, and upor the ground of q
close knowledge of the man, holds the follow
ing language;
Brother Fisher Of the Red Bluff Beacon,
copies the remarks of one Wilson Flint, made
Of the Republican love feast lately held at
Sacramento, and thinks they are damper on
the resolutions offered in the Senate to ex-
punge the resolutions of censure against the
late Senator Broderick 1t is probable that
Brother Fisher does not know this Wilson
Flint We should be happy to introduce
him, had we not always considered Wilson
Flint an unmitgated asa and contomptible
liar Just now we regard him as a vile
libeller of the dead. and so does everybody
else who knew Broderick. Such regards,
however, do not trouble WILSON Flint. He
is past being affected by anything that stirs
the blood. or appeals to the conscience of
man. During BrodeFiOk's residence in Cali
fornia, the height of Flint's ambition was to
be his toady, crawling upon his belly before
him ahd marking his wrigglings upon the
floor by a faint streak of extravasating fluid.
Is friend Fisher satisfied with the testimony
of such thing, given "o'er his walnuts and
his wine ?"

BACoNs CouRTsHIP.-He tried to make his
fortune by courting rich widow of the
name of Hatton, whose reputation was any
thing but enviable. 1t was even suspected
that she had caused the death of her hus-
band. BE this as it may her own friends
regarded her as disgrace, and refused to
associate with her. Possibly Bacon was ig-
norant of all this. At all events, he did his
best to secure her hand, or, rather, her
money; and seeing that he was not success
full himself he engaged the services of his
friend Essex, some of whose letters to the
ladys mother are still extant. EFF" wrote

A KIDNAPPER FRUsTRATED.-From facts
coming to our knowledge yesterday we feel
assured in saying that bold attempt has
been making for some time past bv man
named Thomas Smith to kidnap back to
slavery a colored man named John Turner,
who had purchased his freedom from his
master years ago. Smith came to this State
in an early year, and settled on Bear river.
on the line between Sutter and Placer coun-
ties. He broughta dozen or more negroes
which were worked as miners, farmers,
cooks, etc. Ranching, mining, etc not thriv-
ing under his management, his negroes be-
came scattered-some running away and
others buying their liberty. Smith left the
State in 1858 or 1854, and returned to Mis-
souri,, having lost his property and become
involved i'll debt There he remained till
some time in 1860, when he returned and
has since been engaged, with w. II. Dixon,
in transporting barley to Fort Churchill,
Utah Territory, under Government con-
tract. During this last stay We understand
that he has also been engaged in hunting up
his stray negroes, and that he has been sue
cessfu in inducing one to return with him to
the States, under pledge that he should re-
ceive pay in the sum of $50 per month But
we also understand that he attempted to kid
nap this man Turner, .who he has had corall-
ed for some time at Carson Valley, awaiting
his time to leave for the States. On We'd
nesday, officers Mcintosh and Keyser re-
ceived telegraphie dispatches from Placer
vile and Mud Springs, informing toem that
the man Turner had been kidnapped and was
being brought down to Sacramento in a bug
gy, and to look out for him on Thursday,
yesterday. Turner, however, arrived Wed.
nesday night, and the officers soon struck his
trail, ascertaining that he was coralled in a
room in this city, awaiting the pleasure of
the man who had thus far successfully kid
mapped him. The particulars relating to
Turner's "exhumation" we have not learned.
We suppose, however, that the officers had
got so close upon his hiding place that his
keepers thought it discretionary to let him
out the tack door. Turner, therefore, has
escaped "these hated nuptials," and is again
free Smith, and the negro agreeing to re-
turn, left on the steamer Chrysopolis yester-
day afternoon for San Francisco, en- route for
Missouri.--Sdc NewS FRIDAY.

their plans clash, ond complications thicken
at every step.
There is no apparent method by which
they can raise the "sinews of war" or the
funds demanded for the working of govern
ment. The planters of South Carolina refuse
to honor the first draft of 100000 made up
on them, while the people of Alabama, in

questions about which secessionists are be-

them more and more widely as they approach

supply of her manufactures. 1t had been
claimed that France was long since in conf
dental negotiations with secession leaders,
that Napoleon was beforehand committed to
the recognition of the coming confederacy.
OF course Austria, Russia, and other Europe

nounce in their favor. 1t is risht that our

THERE is popular notion, says an exchange
that kings and queens always wear gold
crowns and carry golden sceptres; and that
they bear, in short fattering resemblance
to those exquisite potentates who figure on
the honors in pack of cards. There may
have been time when kings and queens did
make perpetual guys" of themselves for the
admiration of their subjects, but that time
has long since gone by. Queen Victoria at
