from Missouri 10 1S4l, as ore of a secret fill
clustering party, who intended to get up a
revolution against Mexico. and join California
to the then lone star republic of Texas. The
scheme was fruitless, but General Bidwell be-
came the owner Of one of the famous Spanish
grants of land in the richest part of this valley,
and now has farm Of 20 900 acres, of which
$4,000 are uGder cultivation. His crop Of
wheat was $4,000 bushels in 1868, from 900
acres of land, or at the average rate of 40
bushels TO the acre. This is poorer grain
year, and his wheat will average but 30 bushels
per acre. The general average of the valley is
30 bushels. OF barley and oats, his other
principal crops, he usually harvests so bushels
to the acre. His garden and orchard cover
200 acres A large Touring mill is among his
concerns, and its product is the favorite brand

winning manners-a bachelor, and intends to

The Real Object of the Fenians.

A letter purporting to have been written By
an American Fenisn" lately appeared in the
Dublin (Irelandl Freeman. in which the writer
declared that the conquest of Canada was the
real object of the movement, and the agitation
/ 10 Ireland g mere diversion. He said be had
been induced to join the Order by statements
that its purpose was to liberate the Emerald
Isle, but withdrew when be learned that The
Invasion of Canada was contemplated. We
quote briefly from this letter, as follows:
at may be supposed that an aggressive war
on Canada would not be allowed hy the United
States Government; bat let me tell you, sir,
that the United States authorities do not only
wink at the Fenian movement but that move
ment Is sanctioned by the Government and
ruled By Seward, the willy and able Secretary
of State. darcy MCGEE was right when be
said that the next great war for American
ideas would be fought on Canadian soil. though
be little knew how deeply bis couutrymea 10
the Cauadas were tinciured with disloyalty
then; or, if be did, he must be Feniau traitor
himself. When Joined the Fenian organiza
ton, | was led 10 believe that the freedom Of
Ireland was The grand object of the society,
and | believe that such was the intention of the
leaders then; but the United States Govern.
ment saw the uses to which The Fenians could
be applied, and soon found channel 10 conduct
the ardOr OF Irish patriots TO Yankee ends.
canada free. nation of great power will
soon be the result, and, with the aid of the
United States can, in less than FIVE years,
wrest Ireland from England. Such is the
FeDian theory in America, aud such, think,
is the Fenian theory in Ireland. Irishmen are
told to be ready to succor the Canadian invad-
ers. when they come five years hence but, if
mistake not, they will tire of waiting, or find
State employment on Spike Island, long before
the FIVE years are out"
However little of truth there may be 10 this
writer's assertions, there can be no doubt that
the Fenian movements in the United States,
whatever shape they may assume, must endaB
ger the friendly relations existing between our
Government aud that of Great Britain and
this may be what the Fenians calculate upon
as the most efficient means of securing Irish
independence.

UNHAPPY SYxPArHIzER.-The Marysvill,

UNHAPPY SYNPATBIZER.-The Marysville
Express cannot get over its afliction at the
downfall Of the Southern Confederacv, and
mixes up rebel lamentations with every other
subjec. Of which it speaks. How different this
is from the disposition manifested BY prominent
rebels at the Soulh, who have asked and re-
ceived, through the President, the nations
pardon, promising to become good citizens, and
looking TO the future with saBguine hopes for
the sunny South. We are led to these refec-
iioas by doleiul editorial 10 the Express in
regard to the Fenians. 10 which their con,em
plated movements are likened TO the Slave
holders rebellion. The Express says:
The new rebellion has, as We have said,
bounded with one leap into greatness, and the
world is agog for the issue. viii it go down,
as it has gone up. with the same rapidity of
motion. or will it. like the rebellion of our own
sunny South, fash for time. like brilliant
star, 10 The political heaven, aud then fall back
to worse chains and slavery than before? Or
will it ride the ascendant, aud give US another
soulsiirring song to take the place Of
The harp that once through Taras halls
The soul OF music shed,
Now hangs as mute on Iara's walls.
As though that soul were dead"
The Express should have added:
Tie tongue tina. once in Congress halls
In treason took the lead,
Is now mute in Fort Monroe
As though Old JEFF. were dead.
