WAR IN CnIToNrA-A serious civil
war Of much more formidable proportions
than the operations Of the Vigilance Com
mittce, is threatened 10 California, between
the State on the one side and about two
thousand settlers IN Santa Clara connty on
the other.
It seems that the land upon which the
settlers are located has besn determined to
be the property Of one ChobOlla, and in
consequence they are required to buy the
land Of him or pay its rent. The settlers
hold that the Chobolla claim is fraudulent
one, and are prepared to resist the enforce
ment of the law by armed force. Gov.
DoWney has asked $780, 900 from the Leg
islature to pay the troops that be may call
out TO suppress the rising.
It is hoped that something may be done
to avert blOodshed, II the settlers resist,
siuod must certainly fow,-the laws must
be enforced, and especially at this time,
when they seem in danger from every side
II there is 70 be no legal authority respect
ed in the land, then We had better have
war

JAPAS.-The latest sdvices from Japan
indicate future trouble; the country Is torn
up by Internal dissension, and in this civil
var, foreigners are apt to be treated badly
The Secretary Of the American Legation
had been assassinated. Upon receipt ol
this news the foreign ministers, With the
exception Of the American Minister, Mr..
Harris, fed preclpitately, but afterwards
returned. The utmost preca9tion is used
BY foreigners 10 that unhappy country, to
preserve themselves from being murdered
This does not speak favorably for the pros.
poets Of our future trade with Japan. It
is thought BY many that the question Of the
Introduction Of foreigners has divided the
people and thps thrown the nation into po-
liiical conTulsions.

There is no certain news from Fort Pick
ems since the nth of April. The secession
forces in front Of it numbered I2,4OO men
on the 18th Of April, They had ordered
the U s, war vessels ont of the harbor.-
Fort Pickeus was undoubtedly reinforced
BY 4 or 500 men, about the I4th Of April.
On the same day, the Confederate troops
made preparations 10 storm it that night.
A forlorn hope Of $50 men was told of for
that purpose, but their minds underwent q
change. The Cincinnati Commercial of the
22d Of April has information from Memphis
to the effect that Lieut.. Slemmer had or
dered the Confederate troops TO cease
throwing up batteries to attack him, or he
would open FIRE on them, and as they did
not do it, he kept bis word, killing 800 the
first day. 1t is only necessary to say, that
Lieut.. Slemmer was not iu command on
that day, be having been superseded by
Major Toner, of the Sd Artillery. A dis
patch was received at Newport, KY, Oh
the goth, stating that the ball opened at
Pickens, on the 18th, and the Secessionists
had met heavy losses There is no doubt
a fight is going on there, and it is not to
the advantage Of the traitors or we would
have news Of it.

ST. Louis, April 10th.
The latest news from Annapolis states
that the road is open to Washington.
The Baltimore Sun says, on the authori-
ty Of private dispatch, chat the report Of
fighting at Fort Pickens is incorrect. The
latest mail advices from there were to the
l7th of April. Passengers who arrived Ut
Harrisburg yesterday by the Northern Cen
trail Railroad, say all is quiet in Baltimore.
A gentleman who passed through Will
miBgton, North Carolina, on Saturday,
learned from the railroad conductor that
arrangements were being made 10 convey
troops from Charleston to Richmond. Two
thousand we're then on the way.
A Philadelphia dispatch of yesterday,
says General Damon, from Washington, re-
ports the reply Of Lincoln to the Baltimore
Clearfield Republican. [volume] (Clearfield, Pa.) 1851-1937, 1861-12-25

The SAVIOUR AND HIS FRIENDS
Our Lord, in the days of His flesh, en-
countered various classes of enemies,
but none of these ever included wo-
man. On the contrary, the gentler
sex always appaer to have been His
followers or friends. Not only were
they, as had often been said, the last
at His cross and the first at His sepul-
chre, but throughout they ministered
to his wants. A woman anointed
Him for His burial a heather woman
interceded for His life with her huS-
band, PLATE when bewailed and Ia
mented Him as He went to Calvery !;
to woman He first appeared when
He rose again. All this was most fit
ting, since Of a woman He was born,
and to woman His Gospel was not on
ly means of salvation, but a soursc
of domestic and social elevation for
tho present life

MODEL SENTINEL.-An anecdote is
related Of one of the citizen soldiers
in the expedition Of the Macpherson
Blues against the insurgents in 1874,
which is worthy Of being recorded, as
it may be of service to some of the
wealthy soldiers in our own ranks.
The person referred to was German
by birth, Of the name of Koch, and
was well known in his day, as a large
outdoor underwater. lie died some
twenty years since in Paris, whittier
he had gone for the benefit of the eli
mate, leaving fortune of Que million
dollars Mr.. Koch, then a young man
was a private in the Macpherson Blues.
1t fell to his lot one night to be station
ed sentinel over baggage wagon.
This sent the sentinel musing. After
remaining on post half an hour, he
was heard calling Justify :-"Corporal
Older Quartz Corporal Older Quartz I"
The Corporal came, and inquired what
was wanting. Koch wished to be re-
lieved for few minutes, having some
thing to say to Macpherson. He was
gratified and in few minutes stood
in the presence of the general. DWELL,
Mr. Koch what is your pleasure Pas
ked Macpherson. "Why general, l
wish to know what may be der value
of dat wagon over which / am senti-
mel ?"-"How should ! know, Koch p
--"Well, something approximative--
not to be particular. "a thousand
dollars, perhaps. ."-"Very well, Gen
eral Macpherson, l write scheck for
der money. and den will go to bets. "

AN HONEST LIFE.-The poor pit
tance of seventy years is not worth
being a william for. What matter is it
if your neighbor lies in a splendid
tomb :? Sleep you with innocence.
Look behind you through the track
of time A vast desert lies openin ret
respect wearied with years and sor-
row, they sink from the walks ofman.
You must leave them where they fall ;
and you are to go a little further and
you will find eternal rest. Whatever
you may have to encounter between
the cradle and the grave, every mo-
ment is big with events, which come
not in succession, but bursting forcibly
from revolving and unknown cause,
fly over this orb with diversified infu-
