TIE CAUSES AND REsULTs OF THE VIC ks
BUkG WAR.-There was no further lighting in
or around Nlcksburg yesterday, and new cleo
ton tor sheriff has been ordered to take place
Dece nber 81. The Farties IS to the contest have
printed communications representing both sides
Of the troubles at Vicksburg. The democrats
claim that the difficulty caused by the effort
of the negro Sheriff Crosby to establish himself
III his post by violence. HIS election does MT
seem to be disputed by the democrats, but they
allege that lie failed u qualify by giving the
necessary bonds. The Taxpayers, therefore,
requested his resignation, request with which
he complied, according 10 the democratic YER
siOp. visit TO Governor Ames seem to have
greatly modified his views, fOT he returned to
Nicksburg and issued a catd Calling on ali re-
PubiiGans to rally to his support. Thus appeal
was immediately answered by the appearance
0f armed bodies OF colOred men. A series OF
cOmbats, attended With regretaDe loss of life,
was the result. Governor Ames sees in the
refusal Of the white people OF Nicksbarg to allow
Mr.. Crosby TO act as sheriff without giving bonds
an attack on the equal rights of the cOlored
people. According TO his view, the shooting of
the negroes who attacked Vicksburg was the
natural result of the late democratic victories.

Letter from South California.

Rev. C. Kessler in writing to a friend
in this borough, speaks as follows of
some of the wonders of South Cali
fornia
D." feel very much like fish out of
water, in region where no snow falls
and trees stay green all the year round.
California pears are the best in the
world they melt in ones mouth.
Grapes grow as large as plums, and can
be bought for from 9 to cts. per pound,
and less than cent wholesale. Pump
kins grow to from 100 to 100 lbs. each.
Plums are plentier than hickorynuts in
the east, and English walnuts will be
as plenty in few years. Fish are so
plenty that it hardly pays TO catch
them. The jack-rabbit is little more
ttan twice as large as the ord mary hare
in Pennsylvania. Ducks, geese and
quails are numerous within two miles
of town. The Mexican mustang, which
is about the size of Canadian horse,
can be bought for from IS to $50 the
cheap ones have, however, habit of
bucking means that they stand
still suddenly, and then start again in a
perpendicular direction, their heels os-
cillating between the clouds and earth
with remarkable rapdity. These are a
few of the wonderful things of Southern
California. The climate is like spring
at present the peach trees are bloom
ing, also the peas. You can still see
apples of last year hanging on the trees
fresher aud better than those which
were put under cover.
