Cotton Growing In Culllornln.
Tho Han Francisco Bullotln says that "much in?
terest IB felt in the attempts still making to culti
vatocotton on a large scale in California, and it is
believed a considciablo breadth of land will bo
plantod to tho atnplo this year. Tho appreciation
in tho prico siuco the prostration of Southern in*
dust ry, and tho ca abfiahment of cotton mills in
our Stoto, havo created inducomouts of a strong
character. But thoro is a groat lack of promo in?
folio ?lion on tho aubjoct. We were shown to-day
sume samples of green seed, or upland cotton,
grown in Sacramento county last season, and
loproacnting a shipment ot nix bales, or about ono
ton in weight, which carno down on last night's
boat. Tho at a pl o ls of fair quality, and will oom*
paro won with tho medium grades of the same
variety grown in tho Southern States. The fibro
ia about five-eighths of an inch long, is o. Rood
color and fineness, and remarkably strong wo on
twilded. Wo havo been at Bomo pains to ascer?
tain tho particular locality whore thia cotton was
crown, buk bavo no information farther than that
it waa in Sacramento county. In the absence of
knowledge as to the yield and cost of culture, it is
not poBSiblo to spook as to its profitableness as a
crop, but the quality of the cotton is good beyond
cavil. Ono of tho great drawbacks attending the
culturo of now staple producta in California ia tho
complots re ti cnn co of parties who moko experi?
menta. In consequence of this laok of informa?
tion, many trials are made with unsatisfactory re-,
suits, where ono, if properly m ado public, would
havo sufllcod, and savod tho means and onergies
of many porsons for tho development of othor pro?
ducts which might prove of practical value to tho
State. On the othor hand, whore producta are suc?
cessfully raised, tho lack of informoll n prevents
other persons from engaging in its culturo, and,
as in tho caso of cotton-growing, no data can bo
had as to its value as a crop in tho futuro.
"It is now over three years einoo tho first ex?
periments in cotton growing were mada in Cali?
fornia, and its culturo has since boen steadily
prosecuted in sovoral districts. Ono would natu?
rally suppose that by this timo tho business would
havo formed re gu or chamois tb rough which some
aocurate kaowludgo could bo dorivod as to cu.turo,
y told, Ac. ; but ouch is not tho oaso. Tho sale ot
homo-riiaod cotton ia confined to a very fow par?
ties in this city, yet thom parties are so
much in tho dark as to tho extent of tho orop
of 18SU ns to bo unable to definitely state
whether it was ton thousand or ono hundred
thousand pounds; neither can they give
any particulars connected with its grow?
ing. Manufacturers, finding thomsolvcs with?
out data au to tho ottpplioa, have ordered
what thoy neod from tho Atlantic States, by way
nf Um Isthmus, so that ont planters rosily deprive
themselved of the moat profitable market, which,
by right, thoy should supply. No moro corlair
method of destroying tho indncomonts to gron
cotton can bo concoivod than tho withholding o!
Information, and plantais havo only themaolvoi
to blimo in tho matter. The timo has lODg goni
by for secrecy concerning thia and kindrou pro;
ducts, as tho market pnce cannot be onh .nee*
thereby, nor o in any othor advantage bo dori vo-i

Ion by Mr. GBXKLBT, will bo perused with in tercet
by oar read ora :
TREASON nt arra. VAX.
Can a Government which, after, a long and ardu- I
OUB strugglo, has put down an organizodand fonni
dablo rebellion, proceed to try and ponish ita de?
feated adversario? aa traitors ?
This question is roaddy auswerod in the affirma?
tive by ignoranco and passion-perhaps also by
wisdom and calm Judgmont. Lot na inquire and
consider.
Unquestionably, a Government may refuso from
tho outee! to recognize its domestio foes aa bo Hi -
gereut?, engaged in lawful war. It may say to
them, as Maximilian did to his Mexican aavor
Baries- "Yon aro not warriors, but banditti
, brigands, robbers-whom, if cpturod by my
[ armies, I shall treat aa arrested felona." Dut this
i ia a two-odged sword, aa Max. ia very likely to dis
cover. Tbe Government which treats ita enemies
[ as felona must expect to havo its adh?rants eo
treated by thoeo adversaries-tobare its aoldiora
shot or hung when capturad, if it shoots and nanga
thone whom it captures, Whatever ruis it acta
upon will Barely work both waya.
On the main question, tho doctrino generally
hold by American statesmen and publicists prior
to I860, will be found sucotnotly set forth, by Daniel
'Webster, in his address on laying tho cornor-atono
of Bunker Hill Monument (Juno 17, 1625), where?
in ho in>ti ot tho conB?quoncoa of that memorable
combat :
"Tho battle ot Banker Hill waa altondod with
tho most important effects beyond ita immediato
roault as a military engagement. It created at
bnco a state of open, public war. There could now
Se no'longer a question of proceeding agaliiBt in?
dividuals, aa guilty of treason ir robolUon. That
fearful crisis waa past. Tho appoal now lay to tho
sword; and tho only question was, whether tho
spirit and tho reeouroos of the people would hold
ont till tho object should bo accomplished."
. Boar in mind that our fa them had not oven de?
clared thoir independence an the 17ih ot Juno,
1775, when thoy fought at Bunker Hill-nav, they
hnd not idoflriilively resolved on I separation from
tho mother cou .try. in the oyo of British law
and of tho law of nations, for that matter-they
were simply reboil, .resisting tho- authority and
tho arm; ot thoir legitimate) king. - Yot Mr. Web?
ster holds that the naked fact that thoy resisted in
battlo array, undor the command of thoir constitu?
ted local authorities, precluded any civil proceed?
ings against them as " Individuals guilty of trea?
son or rebellion." . . ?
Of coorao. Mr. Webster did not originate thia
dootrico. Ho waa not tho man lo do tho like of
that. Ho found it intoriusod throughout tho en
tiro Revolutionary history and literature. Thus,
Chief Juatioe Marshall, in his Lifo of Washington,
rolatoa that, when General Gage, commanding tho
Hang's foroos in Boston, arr os ted several eminent j
Whig civilians and lodged them in jail, along with '
our captured officers and soldiore to bo dealt
with as traitors, Washington remonstrated
"very B rions ly against this unjustifiable I
measure," (jays Marshall); while General
Gage '?Tw~J~rti,? Americana morely as rebels,
au a treated them aa if tho great national rost???-;
they wore making on principle? to be viewed j
I as tho act of a few daring and turbulont individ?
uals," and, aa auch, wrote Gago ; ''prisoners whoso
lives are, by the laws of the land, destined to tho
noni." Washington at onoo instituted moas ares
for retaliation, should this violation of public law
and of tho laws of war be carried into eiToot, and
thereby brought the British General to a recogni?
tion of tho lust principios of civilized warfare, as
enunciated hy Vattel and other writers on pabilo
hw. .. :l
James Otis, tho Wyollf or John Huas ot our
Revolution, Alozander Hamilton (In tho F?der?
alist), and all our Revolutionary pnblioiate of any
authority, rotor to and quote from Vittel's Law of
Nations os setting forth the judgment of the civil?
ized world in accordance with the doctrines of
Webster and Washington above cited. Vattel, in
his chapter on Civil War, says :
"lint what conduct shall tho sovereign observo
toward tho insurgents? I answer, in general,
such conduct as H.mil at tho samo timo be tho
moat consonant to Justice gain?t the moat salnta
ry to tho State. * * Sabjooia who rise against
their prince without cause dosorvo severe punish?
ment : yet, even in his case, on account of the
number of tho delinquents, clemenoy booomee a
daly in the sovereign. * * ' "A cavil war
brooks the bonds of society and government, or,
ad least, ensponds ' their forco and effect ; ii
produce? in tho nation two independent parties,
who consider each other aa onomioo, and ao
knowledge' no common ' Judge. Th OHO two
partios, thoroibro, most necessarily bo con?
sidered as thonoeforward constituting, at
least for a time, two sep?ralo bodies, two
distinct socio t?os. Though one of the parties
may have been to blame in breaking tho unity
of, tho BUto and resisting tho lawful authority,
thoy are not tho leis divided In fact. Beal do?, who
shall' jndgo them? * * They stand, therefore,
in precisely tho samo predi --amont aa two nations,
who engaged in a contest, and, hoing unable to
como IQ an . agreement, nave . recourse to Arma,
Thia being the case, it ls very evident that the
common law? ot .war ought to bo observed by both
parties in every civil war. For .the same reasons
which render the observar co of thoeo maxims a
matter of obligation between State and State, it
bocomos equally, and oven rn oro necessary in the
unhappy circumstances of two incensed parties
lacerating thoir common country." "T ii? there
exist In tbs Stale two soporato bodice, who pro
natlona would,do. The ouUgation to observe th?
common laws of war toward MAD othor ia there
foro abaolnbe*4ndlapens*bly binding on bots

Vaut Comos, November ls, 1660. J
I have alwaye recommended the Faber Polygred?
Load Pondis as the only pendis flited for both ornamen?
tal and mathematical drawing; but, after a thorough
trial of the American Poly grade Lead Fenelia, man
?teetered by the American Lead Pencil Company, Nevi
York, I find them superior to any pencil In use, even tc
the Faber or the old English Cumberland Lead Pencil,
being a superior pencil for sketching, ornamental ana
mechanical drawing, and sil tbs ordinary uses of ales?
pencil.
Th ase pen?os are very finely graded and haro a very
smooth lard ; even the aoftuet pencils bold the point wall
they are all that can be desired In a pen eu. It give* mi
great pleasure to be able to assure Americans that the)
will no long?r be compelled to depend upon Germany ot
soy other terebra market for penc?is.
