The San Francisco correspondent Of the Port
land Daily Adreriiser, under date of the LIST
inst, gives the following account Of trouble in
regard to land titles which threatens the most
serious consequences to California;
We are threatened with taste, and no slight
taste, either, Of civil war in our own State. The
irrcpresSbc niggcr has nothing at all to do with
it. One Antonia Chab)lla 4 re" "ounced ChGrOya)
claimed six square leagues Of land in Santa Clara
county, under Mexican grant. A large num-
bcr Of actual settlers had taken up this land, in
accordance with the pre- emptiOn laws Of the U.
S. The title was tried in the U. 5. District
Court, and the cause was decided in favor Of
Chabolla. The settlers formed a league, and
determined to maintain possession Of the land
and they have hitherto done it, in spite Of the
Sheriff and his assistants. The settlers arc
aided and abetted by a large number Of outside
SympathizerS Their force numbers ! 200 men,
well armed, and they have received offers Of fur.
ther assistance from other counties. They de-
clare that Chabolla gained his suit by fraud,
and they therefore resist all offers Of compromise
Gov. Uowney sent an agent to talk with them
they listened respectfully, bat declined any &C
commodation, other than to be let alone in pos.
session Of the land which they claim as justly
theirs. It is now said that Gov. Downey will
call out the military to enforce the laws. If this
is done, there will doubtless be much bloodshed
and an opinion is expressed by some, which
think is unfounded, that the affair will be made
the pretext, or the basis, Of an attempt to in
augurate q secession movement in California.
also hear it suggested that settlers who have
been Ousted under similar circumstances from
the Fremont and other grants will take this &C
casiOn to re-assert their rights. Nous rerT0nG

To the EtitOr Of The Puget S,URd Herald:
STEAMER RANGER, Union City, May Z, 'GI.
Union City is a small town situated at the
head Of navigation on Hoods Canal, not far from
the mouth Of the ShOkOmish River. Its geo.
graphical position, together with the agricultural
resources Of ShOkOmish and several other small
rivers, place it prominently among the localities
Of general interest to our Territory. Mr.. W.
Perrin, the cnterprising proprietor Of the town
site, informs me that 4 road Is soon to take the
place Of the present trail from Chehalis River tC
Olympia via Union City and Oakland, the con-
pletiOn Of which will develop resources, both
agricultural and commercial, which cannot fai
to attract the attention Of emigrants Of every
trade and profession. lie also thinks there will
soon be q great public thoroughfare from Gray's
HaTbor TO the Canal, and the citizens will sOou
be able to establish mail communication by water
between Union City and Olympia. Charley
Wiggin tells me there is an extensive river bot.
tom up the small rivers opposite Union City, and
an emigration Of families is the only thing lack.
ing to render Il one Of the most desirable local..
ties in our Territory. hope my friends will
realize their most sanguine hopes and expecta.
tons in relation to their locality, aud ere long
reap the reward to which their enterprise entities
them.
There are many small tracts Of good land or
the Canal also many extensive logging camps

and cheerful aspect and reflects . credit upon
the loggers which places them prominently among
tho contributors 70 our cOuntry's progress.

An increasing interest Is manifesting itself
in regard to the prophecies Of events immediate
y to Preccde the millennium. Among the prom
inent events connected with the fufilment Of
these prophecies, it is said, was first the spring.
ing into existence Of the American Confederacy,
and subsequently, its dissolution in the manner
in which It is now taking place. Soon succeed.
ing this is to be a sanguiRary war in Europe, in
which all the nations Of the Old World will en-.
gage, and this is to be followed by famine and
Pestilence. On this subject an exchange says:
About twelve years ago, when all Europe was
conVulsed by revolution, old books on the ProphC-
cies were re-published, in which that very year
had been indicated as . most eventfnl one in the
wOrldishistory. These interpreters Of prophecy,
however, went farther, and said that in 1860
would begin the terrible period Of seven years
which was to follow the prophetic term Of 1860
years, and in which was To be accomplished the
overthrow Of the Papacy and Of the Turkish
Empire. These speculations, whether by old or
recent interpreters, whether by Fleming or Cum.
ming, were naturally looked upon with distrust |;
and well they might, when the uncertainty thai
exists with regard both to the meaning Of bro.
pheey and to The fixing Of exact dates Is con.
sidered. Il must, however, be confessed that
events are assuming very much the aspect that
might be expected II these commentators were
right Who would have Ventured to say, two
years ago, that Italy would In 1850 be free from
the tyranny both Of the Neapolitan Bourbons
and tho Popei that the Bible would be publicly
sold in Naples, and that the dream Of Italian
unity would be al but realized4 Yet such Is
the actual state Of things at this day; and the
steps BY which the result has been reached are
as extraordinary Is the result itself No Pro-
testant nation has inteFfered 10 put down the
temporal power Of the Roman POntiff; no Athe
istcal revolution has swept away the reign Of
the priests. The whole extraordinary change
has been wrought BY Roman Catholic nations
protesting continued affection for the Pope, and
upholdiDg still his spiritual dominion. The way
that ultFamontane Austria, which would still
lend its power 10 the Papal tyranny, Is FIRST al
most crushed, and then held 10 check by Catholic
France, while Victor Emanuel and tho patrioi
hero, Garibaldt are setting Italy free. is one oI
the grandcst tableaax Tor the student Of Divine
Providence that history can show.
The overthrow Of the Turkish Empire, how.
ever, does not appear so imminent. unless Tho
lIberalizing Of its policy, and granting complete
religious liberty TO all is subiects be considered
IN that light This change Is virtually revOlu
ton, and no one can say how near q much more
decided change may Be. But al the present
probabilities appear 10 be IN favor Of contin
uance Of the Turkish Empire; not as the result
Of its own strength, but IS the mutual ieaIousIoi
Of the Great European Powers. no one Of which
viii suffer any other to benefit BY its overthrow
