A SOUTHERN UNION LOVING EDIToR.-Prenticc,
editor of the Louisville Journal we conceive to
be one of the most loyal, fair and patriotic men
of the Union. Occupying a most prominent po-
stion in a border Slave State, with feelings and
interests naturally tending to the section which
is his home, he still has the fearlessness to speak
out boldly in behalf Of the Union it is and
condemn the mad leaders who are endeavoring
to draw the people of the South after them in
their wild scheme of separation from the Union.
We like Prentice more than ever for the noble
part he has acted in this matter. Here are two
extracts from the last Journal:
"The Richmond Enquirer is furions because
the guns Of Fortress Monroe at old Point Com
fort have been turned so as to point inland 1t
says that they were designed to point outward
for Virginia protection and not inland to attack
her AS they are United States guns in United
States fort, we presume they were designed to
point in any direction and in all directions from
which forcible aggressons upon the U. S. Gov
ernment might be expected. Certainly the Off
GERS in command, if they anticipate a raid for
the iawless seizure of the public property they
have in charge, should point their guns in the
probable direction of the robbers"

her coercion by the Federal Government to buy

How TO RAISE FRUIT EVERY YEAR.-A writer
in the Stanislaus Inder, who seems to be thor
oughly informed on the subject, lately gave an
article on fruit raising. We quate that portion
most valuable to that class of our readers engaged
TO some extent in the cultivation of fruit.
If rightly understood few trees, unless abso-
lutely dead or rotton, need occupy any ground
without yielding plenteous crop After long
and varied experiments, | gradually adopted
the following mode: AS soon as winter has suf
fciently disappeared, and before the sap ascends
examine my trees. Every dead bough is Topped
Off; then, after the sap has risen sufficiently to
show where the blossoms will be, | cut away all
the other branches having none on, and also the
extremity Of every limb the lower part Of which
bears Il considerable number of buds--thus con
centratng the sap Of the tree upon the matura-
ton of its fruits, and saving what would be n
useless expenditure OF strength In the ounce,
apricot and peach trees this is very important,
as these are very apt to be luxurant in leaves
and destitute of fruit. You may think this in
jures the trees; but ii does not, for you will dnd
trees laden with fruit which yielded nothing. or
course all other well known precautions must be
attended to such AS cutting out worms from the
roots placing old iron on the limbs, which acts
as n tonic TO the sap, etc. Try it, yc who have
failed in raising fruit.

ToBACCo- Medical men of scientific reputa-
ton, like Sir Benjamin Brodie, of London, have
within n few years past Investigated the effects
of smoking and chewing upon the human organ
ism-including the brain. They judge smoking
to be more injurious than chewing, as smoking
seems to affect the brain to so great degree in
some persons of nervous temperament us to pro-
duce mbeoility of mind. BY a recent lecturer
on the effects of stimulants and narcotics, it was
estimated that the cost to iaveterate tobacco
users is from $50 to S75 year. and that 1t Is
much more difficult for man who INDUCES in
the Improbable habit to leave off drinking rum
than IL is for one who never dcliles himself with
the weed. The present yearly growth of tobacco
is about four thousand millions of pounds What
an enormous amount of saliva this quantity must
produce by stimulating the saivary glands in
chewing. IL pound makes one hundred cigars,
and the whole annual produce were manufactured
in cigars, the number would be four hundred
thousand millions of cigars. If this tobacco cost
on an average ten cents pound, the sum amounts
to four hundred millions of dollars year but
it probably costs more than double this sum to
manufacture il into marketable form, and to
dispose of it to the consumer. Many a man
wastes as much OF his hard earnings for tobacco
he does for bread for his amily--all well
enough if it benefited him. But poisoning the
body, and weakening the will, power and mental
energy are benefits over the left. t."--Er.

RELICS OF THE PAsT.-Dark and mysterious IL
tinent. 1t is enveloped In darkness, never, per-
haps, to be penetrated by human research. Yet
the ruins of ancient cities are often discovered,
which tell of a race long since gone-exscrmina-
ted probably, by the ancestors of our present
Indians, who are fast departing fairly dying out
before the ever.advancing influence of the pale
faces. recent discovery has been made some
ninety miles north. east of Fort Stanton, the fol-
lowing account of which appears in the Fort
Smith (Ark.) Times
"Thc plain upon which lie the massive relics
of gorgeous temples and magnificent halls, slopes
gradually eastward toward the river Pecos, aud
is very fertile, crossed by gurgling stream of
the purest water, that not only sustains rich
vegetation, but perhaps furnished with this nee.
essary element the thousands who once inhabited
this present wilderness. The city was probably
built by n warlike race, rs IL is quadrangular,
and arranged with skill to afford the highest
protection against an exterior foe, many OF the
buildings on the outer lines being pierced with
loophoes, as though calculated for the use OF
weapons. Several of the buildings are Of vast
size, and built of massive blocks OF dark gran
ite rock, which could only have been wrought to
their present condition by Il vast amount OF labor.
There are the ruins Of three noble edlllces, each
presenting a front of three hundred feet, made OF
ponderous blocks of stone, and the dilapidated
walls are even now thirty five feet high There
are no partitions in the area Of the middle (sup-
posed) temple, so that the room must have been
vast and there are also carvings in bas relief
and fresco work. Appearances justify the con
cusion that these silent ruins could once boast
of halls as gorgeously decorated by the artists
hand as those of Thcbes and Palmyra. The
buildings are all loopholed in each side much
resembling those found in the old feudal castles
OF Europe, designed for the use Of archers. Tho
blocks of which these ediices are composed are
cemented together by species Of mortar OF
bituminous character, which has such tenacliy
that vast masses of wall have fallen down with
out the blocks being detached by the shock"

THE MOTHER MoULDs THE MAN.-That IL is the
mother moulds the man, is a sentiment well Illus
lrated by the following recorded observation
Of shrewd writer: When lived among the
ChOctaw Indians, held a consultation with one
of their chiefs respecting the different stages Of
their progress in the arts Of civilized life, who,
among other things, informed me that, at their
start they fell into great mistake they only
sent boys to school. These boys came home in
telligenl man, but they married uncducated aud
unciyiized wives, and the uniform result was,
their children were all like their mothers. The
fathers soon lost all his interest in both wife and
children. "Aud now," said he, If we would
educate but one class OF our children, we should
choose the girls, for when they become mothers,
they educate their sons" This is the point aud
il is true. No nation can become fully enlight-
ed, when the mothers are not in good degree
qualified to discharge the home work OF educa-
LlOn.

water the King drank it off. This was the alkai,
and the royal coun tenance expressed no signs Of
satisfaction. 1t was then explained that in the
combination of the two powders lay the luxury !;
and the twelve white powders were quickly dis
solved and as eagerly swallowed by his majesty,

UNION REsoIuTIoNs.-Below we give the reso-
lutions adopted by the Assembly, as expressive
of the Union sentiment in California
"Whereas The obligations of the Constitution,
which binds each State as a member OF the Union
of these United States, were voluntarily assumed;
and, whereas, the attempt is being made by the
people of one or more States forcibly to dissolve
this Union and subvert the Constitution and,
whereas, in furtherance of this reasonable pur-
pose, forts and other property of the whole people
of all the States have been taken from the pos
session of their constituted agents, the United
States Government and, whereas, the people OF
said States are preparing to resist the enforce
ment of the laws of the United States and,
whereas, the people of the State of California,
by their representatives in Senate and Assembly,
desire to express their loyalty to the Constitution
and the Union, and TO instruct their Senators and
Representatives in Congress to support and sus-
tain, in all their integrity, the Union and Con
sttution as they were bequeathed to us by our
fathers therefore, be it
Resolved by the Assembly, the Senate concur
ring-The withdrawal of n State from its mem
bershp and obligations in the Federal Union, In
defiance of the General Government, can only be
accomplished by Il successful resistance to the
whole constitutional power of the United States.
Resolved, That decent respect to the opinions
of the people OF the civilized world, and the in~
stinct of selfprcservation, demand that the Un-
| ted States Government should use all the cOnstl-
tutionnl power consistent with the rights OF the
sovereign States OF this Union, necessary to
enforce obedience to its laws and TO protect its
property.
Resolved, The people OF the State of California
will sustain and uphold the constitutonally clec-
ted officers of the United States Government, in
ali constitutional efforts TO preserve the integrity
of the Union and to enforce obedience to the
acts of Congress and the decisions of the Courts.
Every feeling of nationality and brotherhood
demand that such compromises as are consistent
with Justice shall be made for the purpose ot
restoring that harmony which should characterize
the people of common country.
Hon. John White, of Shasta moved the odop-
ton of the following substitute for the whole,
which was ruled out of order
Resolved That we cordially indorse the plan of
compromise for the difficulties now existing in
the Atlantic States of the Hon. John j. Critten-
den in the Senate of the United States and that
pending the existing difficulties we deprccate the
use of force to coerce the people Of the seeding
States, and that we prefer compromise to war
and concession rather than disunion.
We have good reason to believe that Mr..
Whites resolution much more nearly and con
csey expresses the sentiments Of great ma jorl-
ty of the voters of this State.
