the revolving sentence to which we have

The BLOCKADE OF MEXICAN PORTS-
Speculation is rife throughout the city as to
the effect which the anticipated blockade of
Mazatlan, Manzanilo and Guaymas, by the
French, would have on the mining and
mercantile interests of those of our citizens
who have invested in Mexico. There seems
to be an opinion current that the blockade
will not be maintained against American
steamers plying to md from those ports, so
long as they carry no warlike stores or am
munition, and that communication with the
mines will be permitted to go on as uninter-
ruptedly as before. 1t is to be hoped that
this will be the case, and very good argu-
ment can be maintained for supposing that
no severer line of conduct on the part of the
blockading force will be adopted 1t would
scarcely be polite on the part Of the French
to throttle the development which foreign
capital is giving to the resources of coun-
try, from which they hope to gain revenue,
in the very cradle. An experiment in the
way of Mexican mines is now being made by
which France and all the rest of the world
can benefit If they do pay, large field
for the profitable employment of capital is
opened; if they fail, it is warning voice
telling all to keep off the ice Very many
shrewd men will have slipped up or sunk for
the benefit of others. Working the mines
of Mexico, those at least which are owned
by American capitalists, does not at all aid
or comfort the natives who resist French in
terference.n their affairs. A great number

quartz mills and stamps shipped down there
cannot he made use of by the disafected to
crush out the invaders. And there is no
telling what a skilful amalgamator might
not be able to do in the way of reconciling
the people to Maximilian and reducing diff
ferences The bullion, if any is extracted,
will be shipped to San Francisco, and not
benefit any one in Mexico Furthermore,
the example of seeing what industry and ed
ucation can do in bringing wealth from the
earth's bowels, might tend to make the peo-
pie believe that an Introduction of the
French element among them might not be
such very bad thing after all. In short,
the probabilities seem to be that some ar
rangement would be effected with the French
by which the disastrous blow which the
maintenance of rigid and indscriminate
blockade would give to American interests,
might be avoided If the blockaders, how
ever, would only contrive to keep the mines
down there from levying assessments, and
the superintendents from drawing sight
drafts on the stockholders in this city, these
latter might accept the situation" without

HUMBUG STAGE LINE.-The most stu
pendous "blk" we have heard of lately is
the operations of what is called the Una
tila and Boise Stage Line The main fea-
ture of this line, according to reliable au-
thority, is to inform passengers, as they ar
rive at Umatilla city on the Boats, that the
Stages leave that place for Boise at 4 o'clock
Cor any other hour in the morning, and to
so impOrtune the unsuspecting traveller by
systematic lying Gan unfortunate habit with
"runnors'') that he is not unfrequently pre-
vailed upon to take passage upon the bo-
gus stage line from Umatilla, instead of
the real one which leaves the Columbia
river at Wallula. The Stages leave Una.
tilla in the morning sure enough, and the
traveller thinks himself all snug for the jour
ney to Boise but imagine his surprise and
discontinue when he finds himself, in the
evening, unceremoniously dumped out at
the foot of the Blue mountains and at the
end of the great Umatilla & Boise Stage
line. From the foot of the mountains, the
traveller can, if he feels in the humor, stride
one of the sore-backed Cayuse ponys-
kept there to serve as combinations of the
famous Umatilla Stage line-shut his eyes,
imagine himself inside of a comfortable
COACH and proceed in this manner to Boise,
at which place he will arrive in from IA to
l6 days time, if his pony don't die on the
road Passengers leaving Wallula, on
Thomas & Co.'S Stages, are taken through
to Boise in from four to five days time and
all the way in Coaches at that Persons be-
low can rest assured that the Walla Walla
& Boise Stage Line is the only enc run

lines have no existence in point Of fact.

THE DRoUGHT IN CALIFORNIA.-The
drought in southern California still contin-
ues. A correspondent of the Bulletin,
whiting from Los Angeles county, April
9th, says:
The weather is and has been terrible, and
no one seems able to prophesy what is in
store for the inhabitants in this part of the
country in future, in the shape Of weather.
If there comes even drizzle to moisten the
parched earth a little on the surface, it is
immediately succeeded by terrible wind
which more than counterbalances the good
effects of the trifing moisture. Outdoor
business is in a measure suspended, when
not absolutely imperative, and the poor
starved stock (what there is yet alve) are
hourly perishing from the double misery Of
cold and hunger. The dust at this place is
flying in clouds at the present writing, and
the enterprising village of Wilmington can
not be seen at all from here, though only
four miles off, being completely enveoped in
one immense cloud Of sand. | never wit
messed anything worse in the old time in
San Francisco, and from what everybody
says here, it is the worst season on record
1t is evident also that the cold winds extend
to all parts of the country, according to uni

THE UNIVERSITY LANDs-Mr. Cole,
our Delegate in Congress, writes US that his
"bill for confirming the titles to University
lands has passed the Senate and will become
law. This is of immense Importance to
the purchasers of those lands; for they were
merely reserved for University purposes, and
not granted: so that the Territory had no
right to sell them, and the titles given to
purchasers were not worth the paper on
which they we're written. Justice, however,
to innocent purchasers required that Con-
gress should confirm the titles But parties
desirous of investing in lands hereafter, had
better not repeat this experiment for it is
in no wise certain that Congress would re-
peat this legislation"
