TIE EQvINocrIAL $roRN.-The usual
spring rains which happen in California
about the time the sun crosses the equinox,
have At last come. 1t commenced raining in
the central counties Of that State last Tues

CALIFORNIA CONsTITrTroS.--Althought the
Constitution of our neighboring State could
be amended in many particulars beuehcially
TO the people, the work Of doing so at the
present session Of the Legislature is decidedly
slim.The following different amendmentshave
been proposed, at different times during the
present session, but all were indefinitely post
poned by the Assembly on Tuesday last.
They provided for the following objects: Ex-
clusion Of special and local legislation; dis
reimbursement of traitors; adjustment of
separate judicial elections; restoration of
old time for meeting of the Legislature.
Thompson Campbell and others opposed
any present tinkering with the Constitution,
and seemed to think it would be better to
wait for quiet times, when it Will be safe and
prudent to revise the organic law in State
Convention.

THE BURNING OF A UNION BAT
Terry IN SACRAMENTO.

1t is probably well that circumstance &C.
ours between short spaces Of time in the loyal
communities to revive or enliven the Union
people to an active sense of their duty and
danger The Opposition both in California
and this Territory, is more than ever alert
for the opportunity Of mischief and yet more
than ever quiet, cautious and cunning. 1t Is
now dependent upon the supineness of the
confident and tolerant Unionists. 1t does
not any longer obtain its cause of quarrel
from the undisguised and outspoken earnest
ness Of the Union people, but it turks in the
rear Of the silent majority hoping to over
come i: in consequence of its slowness and
fancied safety. But il occasionally STUN
bIes, falls against and shocks the slow senti-
ment embodiments, Us it did few days ago
in Sacramento. First by the burning
OF the house of citizen who had, few
hours before, received an appointment
as enrolling officer for the Union army, and
preparatory to Il draft of men in California.
And second in the burning of building in
which were stored new battery Of seven
brass gas. The wooden work of the pieces
was destroyed, and the suspicion is so large
concerning the fire that the State Legislature
have appointed Commute of Investigation.
California has a sort of officer called cad
iutant General Kibbe" He is neither very
bright nor very sound. To his care in Sacra-
nento. the now disabled battery was sent from
the Government stores in Benicia. kibbe
says that the guns came unexpectedly, and,
being unable to find a safe room for them in
the solid part of town, he was compelled to
select hay house. Here the guns, which
were completely ready for service, were
stored. On night Immediately after this
storage the hay warehouse was burned. The
Sacramento Union concludes that there is
''some mystery in this matter" We conclude
that there is great deal of Kibbc in it, and
that he is the man the most deserving Of
investigation.
