] am glad to be able to report that the
feelings Of the white people Of this region
are undergoing a thorough and rapid
change, both with regard the educating
the freedman and giving the OppOrtuni-

Of this l need only mention the fact that,
since reached this place, l have had

SrRANG PHENoMENA.-One of those strange
phenomena which are observed occasionally
in nature, says the Stockton independent,
was noticed Thursday night aboard the
Julia. In coming up the Bay. in deep and
apparently still water, the vessel commenced
rocking to and fro, bringing her gunwale
nearly under the surface 81 violent and
soundulating so was the motion for minute or
so, that passengers could hardly keep on
their feet. The Tulare a short distance
astern, observed the motion of the Julia, and
the CONSERVATION on board. but experienced
nothing unusual herself The occurrence Is
OF so extraordinary nature, and so unaccount-
able, that unless some plausible explanation
could be given, one might almost doubt the
evidence of the senses of those who relate
this strange freak of the waters. Is the
veritabe sea serpent denizen of the inland
California waters, or was this a subterranean
earthquake?

GOVERNOR ANDREw-It is eredItable TO
the memory of the late Governor Andrew
that be realized no personal profits from the
mistortunes of his country during the civil
war. He left Office poorer than he entered
1t, and was obliged to decline rejection a.
Governor of Massachusetts in order to sup.
port his family by his practice as lawyer.
lie had life policy of Sl0, 900, and beyond
this leaves but little to his family, except
reputation that is beyond all price-to them
and to his countrymeu. He leaves widow
and four chlldren-two sons and two daueh
tiers. Last year his friends proposed to send
him to Congress, and contributed a nurse
of money that would place him above tho
necessity of legal practice; but he refused 70
sacrifice bis independence and declined the
oncc.
