PROBABLE FATE CT THE U. S. S. LEvANr-
Our Hilo, Hiwaii, correspondent writes under
date of June I, as follows:
GA ships mast has drifted ashore, just be-
low the harbor Of Kawalunalu, in Kau. 1t
is seventysix feet long. The lower part of
the mast, which was in between the decks, is
squared and finished as if it had been used
as a rack for guns, while on one side are large
spikes driven in, as though it had been used
as raft. Who knows but It is the Levant's
Mast? am convinced it is. 1t came ashore
about three months ago
Yours, J II. c."
We learn that Mr.. Coney the Sheriff of
Hawaii, Immediately on receipt of this in
telligence, started to Kawalunalu to gather
more precise information, and we await his
report with anxious impatience.
Another account says it drifted ashore but
few days ago. But whether it had been
there longer or a shorter time, should it
turn out to be the Levant's mast, the fact of
the entire mast having been used as a raft,
would go far to sustain the belief that the
ship had been wrecked on some shoal reef,
rock or island, and not foundered, as is now
generally believed; and in the former case,
there is still a chance that some of the ill
fated crew may yet survive or be heard Of

The CRoPs.-A few weeks ago we alluded
to the fine prospect the crops Of this county
presented, and that the promise of an abun-
dant yield was before US. But how uncer-
tain are all thingsl To-day the wheat fields,
in many parts of the county, are nearly ru-
ined by rust. Some of the most promising
grain will not produce more than half crop
We have not heard of its affecting the barley,
but oats and wheat have suffered severely.

Universal PATRIOTISM The Shasta Her
aid says
In no war upon the records of history was
there ever displayed such universal patriot
ism and devotion on the part of the people
to a Government as we now behold In free
America Such an army raised in three
months was never before sean, while thou
sands, disappointed in their hopes of being
called into the field, are literally kneeing at
the feet Of the Executive and begging to be
sent. 1t is impossible TO believe that Gov
ernment which binds so closely to it the at
fectons of the people can be overthrown by
a misguided faction, who have yielded ale
glance TO the despotism of Secession.
The Union Democratic ticket, the Shasta
Courier thinks, will receive a majority o.
twelve hundred in that county. 1t saye
We are not over sanguine when we say
that Shasta will roll up majority Of l,2OC
for the Union candidate for Governor, and
the probabilities are in favor of an increased
ratio. =

TROUBLE IN THE REPUBLICAN CAMP.-Some
of the Republican voters of San Francisco

The following appears in the Bulletin Of

can County Committee gets the authority
from to require voters at the primary elec-
tion to have theirtnames registered. What
right have few Republicans to dictate terms
to the mass? Can their motive be pure
Que? l call it an outrage upon the sacred
right of free franchise, which ought not to
be tolerated. Is there no way to aDnul this
act of our Republican County Committee ?
1t is time Republicans were aroused upon this
subject; and | trust we shall not fold our
arms and look on with Indifference while our
rights and our liberties are being thus taken
from us. We have all right to be heard
and WiH be. If it can be accomplished in nc
other way, when the time comes for nomina-
ting our officers, We will go en- maSse to the
Convention and put down these scheming
politicians, and assert our right to have a

that this were attended to ; and trust infiu-
ential Republicans will look to it, and see
that we are not shorn of our rights.

Amusing Land Sales Ia Minnesota.

According to the proclamation of the
President of the United States Government
Land Sales were commenced at three differ
ent Land Offices in Minnesota on the 10th
of October, and they were ordered at six
other different points at times stated be-
tween the 22d of October and the 18th of
November. About 100000 acres of land
were thus to be offered. 1t may be inferred
from the following statement of the st.
Paul Minnesotiau, detailing the progress
Of the sales as far as they had then trans
pired, that the national treasury will not be
Immediately greatly replenished from this
resource. The first sale referred TO was
that at St. Cloud, which was duly aud reg
ularly opened on the 10Th. The account
then continues:
"The first piece of land offered was start
ed at 81 ,25 per acre, the minimum price.
The people stood around very cool and
calm and after the land had been duly
dwelt upon while, five cents more Was
bid. This five cents advance being cried
sufficient time, five cents more was offered.
And so on during tue whole day. this piece
of land was dwelt upon, gradually rising
the rate of five cents bid. Near the time
for closing the sale for the day, it bad
reached the magnificent proportion of SIG
per acre, and was duly knocked down at
that sum? But on looking around for the
bidder he was not to be found, and one of
crowd observed that he had gone home af-
ter his old stocking, and the land officers
had better wal. until he came back with the
gold
The land officers respectfully declined
waiting longer than the next morning, at
which time they put up again for sale the
same piece of land when the'iive cents a
bid competition for it was resumed, and
proceeded as on the previous day. From
all of which 1t was inferred that either the
price of real estate 10 the st. Cloud District
is rising to the flush prices of olden times,
or else selling the public lands in that
neighborhood is likely to be tedious busi-
ness At Henderson, on the 10th, the peo-
pie gathered in town, formed into process
sion, and intimated in the most peaceful
and polite manner possible, that they
'would like TO see anybody bidding on the
lands" The sale was proceeding from day
to day, the land officers Offering quarter
section, but getting mary bid"
Bidders appear to be working by the day
not by the job, and the time is likely to pass
without their accomplishing much.

FoTRTFICATIONs PoR OREG0N.-Tbe Port
land Advertiser complains that the General
Government had done nothing towards for
tifying the mouth of the Columbia. 1t draws
a parallel between the favors received by
California. and the manner in which Ore
gon has been neglected. 1t asks for an APP
preparation of S300,0OO, to start the work
With. 1t calls upon Congress to make atone
ment for past Indifference and neglect, by
coming out literally now. The utterly de-
fenceless condition Of the country on the
seaboard demands it for the security aud
welfare of the people, of that part of the
United States.

Ex-GovERNoR FooTE ON SEcEssIoN.-Go
II. S. Footc, of Mississippi, in letter
against secession, says: 1.-THE conduct Of
the civil functionaries OF South Carolina, at
the present time, seems TO me to be alike
insulting to the General Government and
to all the States of the Union. 1t is to be
hoped. though, that che will yet be willing
to listen to reason, and not persevere in the
pursuance of line of action 50 we'll calcu-
lated to deprive her Of that sympathy and
respect which have been heretofore accord
ed to her.n

KING's RIVER VALLEY.-The country in
the nelghborhoOd gives unmstabable evil
dence of the nature of its resources, in the
numerous. .drOves of cattle, horses and sheep
which dot the plains in every direction.
Probably no portion of California offers
greater inducements for stock raisers aud
agriculturists than Kings River Valley.
While to the lovers of sport, the abundance
Of game make it perfect bunter's para
disc. Droves Of antelope range through
the plains and low foothills, while on the
sloughs all manner of water fowl make
their home at this season. The prevalence
Of chils and fever in that district has prob
ably prevented the rapid settling up of the
rich bottom lands, which are in great
measure unimproved.-[Visalia Delta.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-01-15

WILL Nor BE DRAGGED.-The Louisville
Democrat pointedly says: owe do not see
how Kentuckians can have sympathy with
South Carolina. Her papers assert that
Kentucky can hardly be considered a slave
State. Her Legislature forbids a Kentuck-
ian from going with his slaves into her bor-
der. She exhibits for Kentucky and the
border States contempt and derision. We
trust that Kentucky will be equally indif-
ferently to her. Let us strive to get her
rights in the Union. If she fails, let her act
independently, and not be dragged after
South Carolina through the mud and mre,
like tin kettle to NANCY ours tail"

A SENSATION ITEM.--The following brief
but terrible story comes from Fort Wayne,
Indiana:
A woman, about to churn butter, threw
some boiling water in the churn, into which
one of the children had, unnoticed by the
mother, placed an infant, and was instantly
scalded to death, In her frenzy the mother
raised chair, and inflicted death-blow
upon the little girl. After realizing what
she had done, she threw herself into the
well and was drowned.

The Bulletin correspondent Of the 9th Of October
in criticsing the different Photographic Pictures at
the last State Fair says
con the opposite wall hang the contributions Of
J. Shew Of san Francisco. These also are most cred
itable specimens of the Photographic art. Among
then, is Hfesize head and bust Of Senator Bruder-
iek-probably the most perfect which has been made
of the late Senator. Side by side with these, hang
series of most wretched bels the art contributed
bv some one in Nevada. They serve, however, to
set off to better advantvge the productions Of more
sknful competitors.
As that paper don't give the name of the artist who
send such pictures, it must be known, that A.
IIEBERT, the Photographic Artist of Broad street,
published in the papers Of Nevada, that he was the
only one in this city who sent pictures to the State
Fair.
