California Climate

The Stockton Independent lately
published an interesting article on
this subject, from which we extract
the subjoined paragraph, : not e ....
There is climate In South Amer
1Geaanr- Bogota, the Capital of New
Gr reI 40 where the temperature va
RES all the year round only about two
degrees from 60 degrees, but in sight
OF Bogota IS the valley of Magdalena.
where the climate is always tropical
and oppressive. We read ~ thiS M
wonder; yet there is Bogota in everv
mountain county of California f-om
which, to the fierce temperature &c
the foothills, the distance in stra;obt
line is not more than twenty miles
To-day the thermometer will mari
los at Murphy's, in Calayeras; at the
Big Trees, not more than ten miles in
a.. direct line, the mercury will rot
rise above seventy eight degrees. The
altitude of Murphy's is about. 1000
feet above the sea; of the Big Trees,
1900. Its the $500 feet of differ
ence in altitude that causes the differ
ence in climate. There are cosy little
valleys nestled amid the hills, where
the pale green maple, the dark green
alder, the slender hazel, the broad
leafed black oak, and tall and singing
pine, all meet and dwell together in
harmony, and where, we. think, the
climate of Adams Eden must be
nearly realized; and there are valleys
not more than twenty miles east Of
the line of the Big Trees, where a
winter climate is perpetual.

South Carolina

a NOME FOR TIE INDUSTRIOUS IMMIGRANTS
This is the title of most entertaining PAM
phlet published by Gen. WAGNER, the Com
missioner Of Immigration for South Carolina
Its pages comprise brief history of the State,
with clear description of its main features
in geography, climate, soil, mineral resources,
and natural advantages. pickons District
comes in for full share, standing highest in
mineral resources and natural advantages -
Gentlemen throughout the State offer large
bodies Of land for sale, on the most accommo-
dating terms. Col. GRlsrAM has large guam
titles, most eligb!y located. No State on the
continent can furnish greater inducements to
immigrants than South Carolina, and We trust
that Gen. WAGENER may be entirely success
f,tl in attracting to our broad, half-cultivated
acres, the thrifty farmer of foreign lnnds--
Their artisans will also find profitable employ
mcnt i'll every village in the State
Those Of our people, who may have lands
to dispose Of would do well to send full de-
scription Of the same to Cen WAGENER, with
out delay. He will advertise your lands all
over tho world free of cost.

Reconstruction.

The Abbcyillo (" Press" one of the fairest
papers III the State, commenting on Major
PERRY's second letter, says:
Ex-Governor Perry has addressed another
lcttor to the people of the State, in Which he
reltcrhtcs tho sentiments Of his former letter.
WITH even greater carnestness and Telling
NO one could feel more sensibly than ourselves
tho injustice OF the present military measure,
or the dangers whic'i threaten us from unver-
sal negro suffrage, hnt the argument of Gov
ernor Perry has only served to Impress us the
more, with the conviction that our ONLY hope
consists IN accepting tho terms which they
propose, (" lest u worse evil befall u.s. If un.
limited negro suffrage is to be deprecated ey.
en- when tempered by the suffrage of the ell
franchiscd whites, how much greater would
be the OWL should forty y-nine out of every fif.
ty OF the whites be disfranchiscd by tho test
oath: Yet such, according to the opinion of
the best advised, must inevitably be the result
OF rejecting the call of u convention now
Then follow necessarily all the OWLS which
Governor Perry SO earnestly dcprccatcs.
La another article, an tho sane suh;ect the
Editor holds the following strong and sensible
language
With regard to the acceptance by <thc
Southern people of the terms proposed, by
Congress, Governor Brown is sanguinsflltt That
its effect will be to alay all further agitation,
aHd lead to the removal Of existing disabEtics
but whatever opinion may be entertained on
this point, there seems to be very little diver
slty OF sentiment among the best informed,
as to the fate which awaits us, if we reject the
terms proposed -confscaion and disCrauchise-
mcnt. The black men OF tile South, aad the
loyal whites will form our State constitution,
and we may form some idea of tie character
of constitution formed under such circum.
stances. Our non-action SO tar from relieving
US from present evils, will not suffice to mnin-
tain our present status may delay, but dcluy
only tu deepen Tic darkness Of our final doom
IL there is one point upon Which mcn of ev-
cry shade Of sentiment in the dominant party
are agreed, it is that the South must comply
with tho tcrms now offered, or accept the more
odious. It's the part of true wisdom to choose
the least Of two evils"

RICHMOND, May 1T.-The steamer John
Sylvester, with Mr.. Davis on board, arrived
this afternoon, nt lalf.pnst 5 o'clock. Long
before her arrival, the military arrangements
had been made by Gen. Schofcd. a dctach.
mcnt Of infantry from the 10Th regiment was
present, and sentincls were posted at intervals
enclosing about 200 yards square, of the
wharf. Outside of this line, large crowd of
negroes and few whites were gathered The
brows of the surrounding hills were pretty
thickly covered with spectators. Mai. Vance,
of Gen. Sohofeld's staff, who was in com
mand, and detachment of canonccrs of the
9Th artillery, numbering about fifty, mounted
as guard tor the carriages. AS the steamer
hove in sight, with the national flag ayinc,
the most intense anxiety was exhibited by the
crowd to get closer; but there was no demon
stration--no cheering or kissing. When the
steamer was made fast, Hon. Jas. Lyons went
on board, and after feoling meeting with Mr..
Davis, brought Mrs. Davis ashore, and con.
Quoted her to carriage, followed by the two
servants who attended her. After a few min.
utes, MIR. Davis camc over the gang plank,
accompanied by Gen.. Burton and Dr. Cooper.
He looked very much changed from whnt the
citizens of Richmond remember him to have
been, looking much older and rather haggard
and feeble. A full grey beard contributed
much to tho change. lie worca heavy black

ascendancy of the negroes in certain of tie

majority, and that, in any event, they would
soon lose this power, for there will be an i'm.
migration of whites, but there can be no i'm
migration of negroes.
The Now York Times" in commcptino
upon this sentence, says that, leaving out of
view all other considerations, it certainly fur.
nishes conclusive argument against the at-
tampts to excite antagonism between the races
in the South 1t says truly, that the South.
ern blacks arc very prolific pcople-at least,
have been so while in state of slavery. but
in no Southern State and, probably, in no
district, will they be able to retain political
power, through numerical majority, after
the tide OF emigration s turned Southwark,
as tho Times says it surely will be, before
many years. We quote one sentence from
the "Times," which deserves peculiar prom.
incnce. 1t is this:
AS peaceful and laborious part Of the
population of tho South guaranteed their
rights by law, they may live and flourish until

The Injunction Cases.

The States Of Georgia and Mississippi ap-
pealcd to the Supreme Court Of the United
70 teton ncts Of
Congress from being executed, alleging that
they were unconstitutional and destructive to
the rights of these States. These cases were
argued by the most eminent counsel, in a
thorough, able and effective manner. The
Court, after mature consideration of the case,
dismissed both hills, adjudgins thereby that
the reconstruction measures Of Congress are
NOT unconstitutional. The Mississippi bill
was amended, however, by praying that the
military authorities might be prevented from
wasting the public property of the State; af-
ter which, it was continued
Now, that this question is settled, we trust
