GUAYMAs IN BRIEF.-A correspondent of
the Alta, gives the following iberar' view
of the g free and easy" port and people of
Guaymas, one of the paradises of Sonora
Mexico:
The harbor of Guaymas is one of the best
on this coast, being large enough, well shell
tered deep and water. The climate is fine
and Guaymas has the reputation of being the
most healthy port of the Republic The peo.
pie are somewhat of the nature of the forma.
tion hereabout, a conglomerate and of but
little use, being bankers without money
merchants without business-cIerks without
employers-ofhcials without destinos-sol-
diers without pay or rations-captains with
out vessels-miners without mines. but with
rocks IN every pocket-mothers without hus-
bands, and any quantity of children without
fathers, and Indians by the hundred. with.
out chief or occupation we also see houses
many without occupants. The school con.
tains but few pupils, but the Jail is we'll fill
ed, as the city feeds the prisoners. and there
fore they seldom try to escape. There are
but very few foreigners here, for the reason
that as soon as they arrive they leave for the
interior and mine hunting, and the bunting
is excellent, although few find the mines that
they are looking after as the silver has to be
taken from the stone, and the stone in the
bowels of the earth, the operation requiring
capital" which, among the class compris-
ing the migrants up to the present time, is
rather scarce. There are few exceptions.
to be sure, to this general statement, or rath-
er, | can amend it by saying that several par
ties have found rich mines, and by taking
samples of the ore to San Francisco, have
succeeded in raising the necessary (?) capital
to work them, or by forming companies. or
otherwise, and in some instances are doing
we'll.

L. If subscribers more to other places without
informing the publisher, and the paper Is sent TO
the former direction, they are held responsible
Notice should always be given of removal.
5. The courts have decided that refusing to take
a psper or periodical from the office, or removing

CLENENCY OF THE GOVERNOR
crimes have of late been prevalent in Cali
fornia. The law is all that need be in such
cases, but there has been and is laxity of
its enforcement by prosecuting officers, by
jurors or by Courts. or by all of them And
to such an extent has this laxity prevailed
that the murderer has better chance to es-
cape punishment than the petty larceny thief
who, it may be, steals loaf to satisfy his
hunger. These capital crimes. says the Po-
lice Gazette, have mainly, if not altogether.
proceeded directlyfrom the evil.practiceo car
rying concealed Weapons practice which
our law givers, though. time and again appeal
ed to, have thus far steadily refused to de
clare illegal. Perhaps the incoming Legis-
lature may be prevailed upon to do its duty in
the premises.

DIFFICULTIES OF THE CHARLESTON Block
ADE.-The commander of one of our vessels
blOckading Charleston harbor writes to the
New York Tribune in explanation of the diff
fculties of an effective blockade there-diffi-
culties that cannot be entirely overcome by
the largest fleet, and thus showing the ne
cesslty of capturing Charleston if we would
cut off the chief source of rebel supplies. He
says there are six channels into the harbor.
upon an arc of 4 circle covering twelve miles.
and adds:
These English steamers, freighted with
cargoes for the rebels employed to run the
blockade, draw eleven and twelve feet of wa.
ter the tops of their bulwarks are not more
than seven feet above the water. They are
painted lead color. so that they can be seen
but a very short distance at night. and are
of great speed. They time their departure
from Nassau so as to reach Charleston when
there Is no moon, or very small one. and
also at the hour of high water, or above half
tide, at which time our eyes have to be strain
ed to the highest degree, and very sharp
lookout kept for these vessels. To guard the
six channels, eight, ten, and sometimes
twelve OF our steamers--aoco, ding to the
number ayallable-are empl 1yed. Much is
SAID, and loud complaints are made in the
P|%PI,iS, "nen d 'oSsei successfully runs the
blockade, and every body seems to hear of
it but people seem rarely to hear of the
blockade when prosecuted with vigor and
success, and when valuable prizes are being
frequently taken. | have now been off here
sixty days with the steamer, forming one of
the bloekading squadron, and during that
time not a vessel has got successfully in and
but one vessel, the Hero, has got out. which
happened on a dark, foggy night, when it
would have taken fifty instead of twelve YES
sells to have successfully blockaded Charles
ton, for one couldn t possibly see the distance
of a quarter of mile.

of her youth, which had been lost to her for
long time. Having become widow with al
only daughter, and fortune of eighty thousand

"She is still mere child, - the countess woul'
say to those who inquired when she would IN

To crown all her follies, the countess had
taken in her head the project of a second mar.
fage, and, as you may well suppose, she wanted
