More Territorial Svomaitox Threatened.?An
articlo appears ia the New York
Herald, professing to bo a translation from
Lc Trail de (In ton, of the city of Mexico, which
Ik if authentic, threatens another difficulty with
the Republic ot Mexico, perhaps a war not in
the ?v?iote distance. It has been for some
thtte feared that the temptations presented to
the roving band of adventurers in Upper California*;
finding the field too narrow for their-.enterprise,
would carry them into Lower California,
a country comparatively destitute of agricultural
resources, but abounding 'i:i mineral
wealth. This Hflhrehension is very probably, by
this time realuwf. As the means lessen for rapidly
amassing largo fortunes at San Francisco,
Sacramento am! Stockton, the hopes of the
adventurers are excited and their avarice stimulated
by the riches which, in silver, cinnabar,
copper and mineral salt, abound in Lower California.
It will become a new Texas. The
facility of emigrating there from the Upper territory
will soon fill it with a motley population,
but in which the American element will predominate.
The Californians will" be overpowered.
A Declaration of Independence will
follo^'. Annexation will be claimed. The admission
of Lower California us another State
of the chances of calculation for an aspirant to
the-Presidency.'-^This has been the course of
American politics Jn past, and we know not
why it hiay.n<H-i^iH-future periods, while tliereu
' is n foot of territory on this Hemisphere^ to
tempt lW "|\frt<jhy ot adventures, or reward
the ambityn o'f politicians.
The following article appeared recently in j
the Altu-Californinn. It tells of countless win
oral wealth, which will not escajw tho grasp of
tlje men who are swarming that country, and
who no more regard the treaty obligations of
the United Stutes than do the Cuban invaders.
The mineral source of Lower California have
l>oen but particularly worked, and the mines of
which the discovery had been made, were for a
long time neglected, for the want of energy
which characterizes the .Mexican race. Vet
mines of silver, gold, copper, iron and lead, exist
in different parts o! the country, and have
been more or less worked. The principal silver
mines are at San Antonio, the capital of
the territory, situated about midway from La
Pax, on tho Gulf; and from San Jose, to tho
the Cape of San Lucas. These mines have
been worked for a long time; in spite of the imperfections
of the machinery used?which consisted
of a mule turning two mill stones?the
yearly produce was from twenty to forty thousand
dollars in silver, which was sent to foreign
countries. The silver sent is so common, that
if it is asked of a native where it will be easy to
n.tuUicK.J ., mine l,a luitnfa willi lii< finrrf.r to
UOtUMllCiiVU U Hiinvf mv J'VIUW 0, ,
the top of a mountain, an J says, 'por alia.' The
" wells dug for the mines are not deep; at San
# Antonio, for they need machinery to draw tip
the water, and the mineral stone is ordinarily
detached from the top and sides of the moun(y
tains. YVith proper machinery, the product of
the mines of San Antonio would be increased
ten-fold, and the other silver depots, lying from
Cape San Lucas to the Gulf depots, which have
never been worked, would give silver in abundance.
In the neighborhood of Loretto on the
gulf, there are immense mines of copper; tliey
have been but partially worked, and all the extracted
mineral was loft at the well of cxtracr
tion, or exported to foreign countries, for they
hud no means to operate its melting. I have
seen, during my sojourn in Lower California,
some samples of copper ore, which contained
at least GO per ccut. of pure metal. The finest
specimen of gold, washed, which I have ever
seen, was shown me in Loyer California. It
is of the same kind as that found in the placers
of Upper California, and I understood, recently,
that a great discovery of gold placers had been
? made at a place called Los Galliucs; in the
* neighborhood of San Antonia.
I have also seen, in that country, rich samples
of cinnebar, but, however, no mine of this
- ? 1 ? I _
metal Has ever i>eeu worueu on a large scaie.
In the Gulf of California are two large islands:
those of Carmen and San Jose?tho one situated
opposite Lor< tto, and the other near La Paz;
they contain immense depots of the purest and
most beautiful mineral salt, and in sufficient
quantities for the provisions of all the Mexican
coast and California. This branch of commerce
has been already very productive in
Lower California; and there exists >et more salt
in the two islands than could be extracted in
one hundred years. The great difficulty which
till now, was opjiosed to the development of the
mineral richness of Lower California, has always
been the want of an enterprising spirit
among the inhabitants, who, as the natives of
Upper California, satisfied in mounting a good
horse, or in eating beef and Mrijoles, have never
pushed theirdesires any further. If a race like
the Americans is ever master of the country,
I am certain that fortunes will be made, and
that riches, which the present inhabitants never
dreamed, will be discovered.
The Fight in Alabama.?We see it noticed
in the Spirit of the South that Mr. Benjamin
Gardner, editor of the Eufnuln Shield, and now
a candidate for a seat in the lower liouso of
our Stato Legislature, announcing his willingness
to respond to a call of the General Government
to coerce and put down South Carolina,
should she attempt to secede from the
Union. When the author of this infamous declaration
and his friends shall be ready to put
doctrines Into execution by marching to that
State, he will plenBe inform us of the fact, as
there arc a few hereabouts that will bo ready
to accommodate him with a small hit of a tight
right here in Alabama. If this is tho doctiin.'
of the federal party, and this the manner in
which they intend to carry it out iu \labama,
then we say we are considerably near a civil
Rtrnmdo. for tho riirht of secession will bo sua
? -O"'*' o
tained by arms if necessary. It* it is to come?
the sooner the hotter. Wo are ready for the

The Friends of the Union\?The Boston
Commonwealth, the organ of the Abolition and
Freesoil party in Massachusetts, is like Seward,
the Clays, Sumner, tish, and Wade, a great
friend of the Union.
In announcing the success of Sumner, the
Commonwealth says:
"This i? one of a series of victories which
will make this indistructible Union the pride
and joy of the world. It will raise the droopMi
nines of the slave, and of the slaveless white I
^Pei'i of the .South. It will give courage to the
South. It will give courage to the tfjRusands
of the true men at the South, who, mem ius
M. Clay, are longing to throw oft* the chaiii of
the slaveholder, it will electrify the freemen
of the North. It u ill seal thedc^tli WHrmtrt of
the Fugitive slave law." ' %'-y
We Coniirieud this ]>assage to our "Constitutional
Union" and Compromise friends generally,
and ash them who are responsible for
creating belief in the North that the South cannot
he kicked out of the Union, no matter what !
indignity is offered, or what outrage is com- |
mitted oil Southern rights? We hope that the
declarailious of such fiends of the South Us
Seward, Cas ius M. ('lay, Sunnier, Henry
Clay and the Jloston Cominonwcalttywill he
sullicient to induce our Union friends to* open
.their eves and look whither .-they are going.?

Presidential Movements.? Wo have already
referred to the movements of the young democracy
in regard to the Hon. Senator Doug
lass, ol Illinois. A somewnai similar ujinuu-niition
has been made at New York; an invitation,
numerously signed, having been tendered that
gentlemen, to partake of a dinner, as an evidence
of the high est em i.i which he is held by
the democracy of that city*.
Judge Douglass very giaeefully declined the
dinner, and expressed his gratitication at the
bright prospects of the party.
A Scott mee ting was held at ii arris' urg. Pa.,
last week, and a meeting in favor of Mr. Webster
for the Presidency has been held at Yorktown,
Va. 'l'he Pennsylvania movement is under
the auspices of Uov. Johnston, whose
name has been mentioned in reference to the
Vice Presidency.
There ii certai dy time enough for discussion
on this subject; but we have no idea that the
Whig party, when called upon to act seriously
in the matter, will overlook the merits of Pres
ident Fillmore, ii is course lias been so truly
national and just that nothing but sheer party
opposition can suggest a motive for thrusting
him aside.
The campaign will open with some degree
of earnestness during the coming winter.

Mr. SUMNER'S LETTER.
A letter is now travelling the circle of the
Ameircau press, from toe n< t.-d Abolitionist,
Charles Sumner, in which lie expresses his de
votion to the Union, his opposition to sectionalism,
with many.other tine common places.?
The letter is add.essed to the Legislature of
Massachusetts, signifying his acceptance of the
U. S. Senaturship, and is an admirable exemplification
of the remark of Taleyrand, chat

thoughts. Much surprise has been expressed
at the tone ot this letter, as if it were a manly *
recantation of the doctrines of the school ol
Abolition. We are only surprised at the cool
impudence of the elicit to_ hoodwink the public.
It adds insincerity to the other political
olfences of the mail who has done all within
the scope of a su|>erior literary ability, to indoctrinate
the people of his part of the Uuion
with the pestiferous tenets of the party to
which he i3 attached. This Mr. Sumner is 1
about to enter the Senate of the United States,
lie t'eais that sort of social ostracism to which
his co-labourer, Mr. Kantoul, in the same
cause was subjected, lie apprehends that the 1
contempt with which that person was greeted I
when he took bis seat in the Semite will be vis- 1

PROCRASTINATION, T1IE T1IIEFOF TIME
We have never been able to comprehend
the wisdom of the course recommended by
some of the Southern States, with regard to
the aggressions of the Federal Government up- '
on their rights. A few years ago, Georgia and
Virginia came to the conclusion that no fur- 1
ther aggressions could, with safety, be submit- '
ted to by the South, und these States resolved j
by their Legislature to resist to the death, all
further encroachments. Since then, the Fed- .
i \ ? ? ] ( * rtVftrit 111 r>ii f line iricnn Ilia nml nlKinf f A

the Wilmot Proviso, and abolished the slave (
trade in the District of Columbia, two of the ]
threatened aggressions which these States declared
they would resist Now, these sumo 1
States have, made a new mark, and dared the 1
Federal Government at its peril to too it Who 1
can believe that they would not back again, 1
should the Federal Government advance again.
We do not, nor are wo"willing to trust our
rights to the keeping of such craven spirits. i ;
lint the great misfortune of this course of i <
conduct is, that at every step the aggressor
grows in strength, while aggrieved in the same I
ratio grows weaker. Ten years ago, the wil(list
fanaticism in the country would not have
dared to abridge the rights of tlio South, south
of30deg. 30 miu., nor have prevented the
sale of slaves in the District of Columbia.;
Do those, who insist upon procrastination, not;
know that it has been very justly called the |
"thief of time?" Arc they not aware that a 1 I

innturcd from their infancy, and who need hut I
the opportunity to degrade the master to a lev | i

Consequence* of Secession.?If the Gencrjil
Government applies force to prevent the secession
of a State, or to coerce her after secession,
it must either bo a denial in solemn form
of the right of secession under any circumstances,
or an act of war against a foreign State.
If the right be denied we will have the strange
spectacle of a republican government founded
n,-, .mil nnt onlv a republican trovern
merit (lor our central authorities do not fortn a
government, properly speaking, nor is that term
applied to tliern by the highest authority) but
a league or Confederacy existing by force,
while all its constituent sovereignties profess to
have entered it voluntarily, and to remain in it
voluntarily.
If, on the other hand, the right bo admitted
and force be used on duller grounds, will be for
tbe United States to sliow the causes and motives
of war. A republican and limited government,
enacting the tragedy of Poland or
Hungary, will he a spectacle of which the
world will require some explanation. It will
remain, therefore, for the President and his
Cabinet, to show cause why they wage a war
.against a sovereign State, closely allied morally
socially, ethnically and geographically, and
especially must they explain to the Southern
Slates, why they are called on to assist in snbjugating
and humbling a slaveholding State ?

A Fnc Question*.?We bog leave to propound
the following questions to all submissionists,
acquiescents, and non-action men?
to all believers in the divine right of the Union,
and to all who think that the best way to preserve
Southern rights, is to surrender them to
the keeping of the North, we hope they will
answer plainly and directly.
If sebession would prove ruinous to South
Carolina; why is it that all who hate and affect
to despise South Carolina, are opposed to secession!
If secession would prove injurious
to si ivery, why is it that open abolitionists at
the North, ngree with the Clay and union ablitionist
of the South, in denouncing secession?

The Fugitive Slave Law.?The New York
Tribune, of the 2nd inst. in an article glorying
over the passage of the compromise measures
with the exception of the Fugitive Slave Law,
has the following:
' The Law of 1850 must turn out to be an
inoperative enactment Indeed, it is practicaly
nullified already, when it costs, as in the
case of Sims, five thousand dollars to catch
and return a Runaway. Rut if it is to bo anything
hut a; self-nullifying act lying dead on
the StateTBook, its repeal, or essential nioUilicatioii,
is inevitable."
The same paper, in the article alluded to
above, Sjieaks thus of the benefits secured to
the free-soil cause by the passage of tlie Clay
Compromise. The South has gained much.
"The rich blessings secured by the friends
of freedom, in the late contest with slnvory,
will glow with an ever iucraesing lustre, and
develope froip age to age in uu ever increasing
magnitude."
Arrests of Cubans.?Our city yesterday was
full of rumors concerning arrests which had
been made along the coast between this and
Florida, of men concerned in the Cuba expedition.
We endeavored to inform ourselves of
the particulars, but were unable to get at wbat
may bo considered a correct statement. We
can only give to our readers, therefore, what
was in every body's mouth, namely, that the
ollicers on board the U. ?>. revenue cutter Taney,
CapL Randolph, had arrested three officers,

Marshal Finney. This otiieer arrived
here yesterday in the steamer Magnolia, with
twenty men, (including the three officers,) who
had given themselves up voluntarily. Rumor
further saitli that there is still a number of men
in the vicinity of Burnt Fort.
.Since writing the foregoing, we learn that
Capt. Cookagce, of Columbus, and Lieut. Ralston,
of Macon, are the officers who were urrested,
but were simply passengers.?Satannah

Slave Case at San Fkancisco.?We mentioned
a day or two ngo, that a fugitive slave
case was under examination. The Tribune's
correspondent says the slave was liberated.
The case has gone as follows:
A man from Tennessee brought a slave
o
with him, perhaps a year or more since. The
negro chose to think himself his own owner,
mid walked whither he listed. The master,
wishing to return, desired to take the boy, but
mistrusting legal aid, lie seized him and attempted
to bear him off. ? The negro's friends interposed,
and old Habeas Corpus brought the caso
helore Judge .Morrison. This morning (April
1,) the Judge gave his decision, liberating the
[>oy, and hinting at the liability incurred by the
claimant as a kidnapper; whereupon measures
were instantly taken to arrest the gentleman.
This will prevent him from sailing in the steamer
of to-day, as ho designed. The decision of
Judge Morrison, and the subsequent proceedings,
will do incalculable good in settling other
cases, and putting a stop to all kidnapping.
All Represented.?The Philadelphia Sun says
dlhough Pennsylvania lias withdrawn her democratic
Sturgeon, Now York lias sent her

Brigade Encampment
An error occured in the notice of the Brigade <
Encampment in our last isue. Instead of Tues- ' I
day it should have been stated that at 12 o'clock, j '
on Monday the tents were raised, roll called, and , '
officers i.t command.
The attendance is Isrge. From the number , |
we see in camp, we judge there are but few of {
the Officers Commissioned and Non-Commissioned,
belonging to the 5th Brigade, who are not receiving
the benefits of the drill and discipline of 1
the Encampment system. (
All are at their post and seem to discharge j
their various duties with promptness and ability.
Brig. Gen. Chandler, proves himself to be a !
skillful and well drilled officer, and certainly takes j
great pains in instructing his Brigade, in the du- f
ties of the Soldier. His Excellency Gov. Means, ,
appeared on the field on Wednesday, and gave
attention to the Battalion Drill of the day. f
The weather is excessively dry and warm, and t
clouds of dust hang over the Camp ground. i 8
If the men eucainned can stand the hot sun, I
for one week, not suffering M in the flesh," we ?
would say they are able to stand the fatigues and (
privations of any campaign. The Officers commanding
the five Regiments in attendance, are
Cols. Anderson, Taylor, Rhame, Jlellett, and
Barnes. We must not omit to state that Brig. I
Gen. Owens of the Cavalry, with his horsemen, f
is on the field w in full feather," learning to do c
"the State some service," in case their reprices (
are ever called into action. ,

for one hour and a half; at about halt-past one

generally ready for it. At 3 P. M. the Battalion
is again assembled and drilled for one and a half
