ETL MALT LRN SLE RA LN LL IIT EXECUTIVE MESSAGE, Executive DeparTMENT, Sacramento city, April 3, 1852. To the Senate and Assembly : 1am persuaded that the interests of the country and the obligations of humanity make it my duty to invoke your early attention to the difficulties and dangers which have hitherto attended the immigration to California by the _. overland route ; and, in view of the probible increased immigration by that route during the present year, to recommend that provision be made for the relief and succor of immigrants whom the hazards incident to the journey may place in need of your aid. It is presumed that the tide of emigration has already commenced to flow, and that before the meeting of the next rived within the limits of our noble State. Whatever, therefore, it would be wise and proper to do on the part of the State should be decided now. Information in my possession leads me to believe that the overland immigration from the Atlantic States to California during the present, will be larger than any former year. The impressions which prevail among our fellow citizens in the older States in relation to the elimate, the agricultural and mineral resources of our country, are much more favorable than they have been hitherto. Welcome tidings have been sent by our citizens to their friends at home. Public tranquility has here succeeded ublic tumult, and, under the favor of a eneficent Providence, health and plenty shed their genial influence around us. These are the blessings which have given such an impulse to immigration. To our mild and salubrious climate we have found added a soil far more productive than was anticipated — cqualing any now cultivated in the cichest portions of the older States. ral resources of our country are generally believed to be inexhaustible, and our miners are obtaining a fair, if not a rich reward for their privations and_ toil. This information has been diffused throughout the Udion, and the apprehensions which once existed that our soil would be drained of its precious deposits, hus given place toa settled conviction that we possess here a legacy inestimable and exhaustless. These impressiens have created a general desire among the people of the} Strangers had never been permitted to . Atlantic States to migrate to California, and I feel authorized to express the opinion that the immigration overland, during the present year, will comprise not less than ten thousand families, averaging, probably, five persons to each. A proportion of the immigrants will be women and children, little used to the privations and perils which they must encounter. Neither the terrible character of the sufferings endured by the immigrants of 1849 and 1850, ner the heroic fortitude with which they endured them, can be exaggerated. The conclusion, then, is irresistable, that unless we extend the arms of welcome und benevolence, the immigration of the present year must encounter the same perils. The causes which have conspired and which will conspire to produce distress, may be briefly enumerated. Every family brings its quota of valuable stock, consisting of horses, mules, catof. tle, and other property, to swell our. dible risk and'labor, until the 20th of aggregate wealth. The contribution . which will be made to the wealth of} The mine. with a view, too, of locating among us; . difficult of access, to have tempted the {In view of such a state of facts, I deer it my duty to recommend that you appropriate not less than fifteen thousand dollars for the humane purpose of ameliorating the sufferings of immigrants, such funds to be 8 specifically, to the object fur which it is appropriated. In making this recommendation, permit me to remark that I am fully aware of thousand years, and claim to be o} the embarrassed condition of the Treasury, and deplore it in common with yourselves. But extraordinary occasions demand corresponding sacritices. It is difficult, in view of the finaneial condition of the State, to reconcile the appropriation proposed with the cold calculations of pecuniary expediency ; but every generous heart must ardently ap~ prove, and . indulge the hope that the public voice will sustain it as a netessary and judicious exercise of State benevolence. It is the welfare of the country und the stake of human life, in war, which gives solemn sanction to the acts of Government which contributes its treasures to promote the cause of nations, The immigrants, their fumilies—the women and children who will come here--should be and are as dear to us as the soldiers who fight our battles. They have, indeed, the highest claims upon our sympathy and regard. In discharging this duty, therefore, to them, we will be accomplishing the ends of good government and that which we do, “like bread cast upon the waters, after many days, will return.” In this exercise of your philanthrophy, you will, probably, preserve many valuable lives, and most certainly save hundreds from intense suffering, and you will also huve the pleasing assurance that many who would have found graves . in the wi'derness but for your timely ‘aid, will become the possessors of plensant homes and luxuriant fields in California, exercising a wholesome and powerful influence in the future action of our State government, as well as in all . osities in human form, and finally se those amenities which regulate society in peaceful and prosperous communities, JOHN BIGLER. THE AZTEC CHILDREN, There are now being exhibited, in . . Legislature, the bulk of it will have ar. New York, what is said to be the rarest curiosity ever exhibited in this country—two children, a male and fe. male, belonging to a peculiar race of Indians found in Central America, and believed to be of the real Aztec race. The male is supposed to be near twenty years of age, is just thirty-three and three-fourths inches high, and weighs ‘twenty pounds. ‘The female is supposed to be about twelve years old, is twenty nine and a half inches high, and weighs seventeen pounds. Dr. Peck, editor of the Christian Advocate ent times, and says that they are not monsters, but. evidently belong to a race hitherto unkdown to civilization, except in statuary. The history of the discovery of these children, and of their coming to this Travel in Central America, Cheops, and Yucatan,” gives an account, which he received of a padre of Santa Cruz del Quiche, of an inhabited city, beyond the great Sierra mountain, occupied by Indians of the same charac~ ter and habits of those found in the . country generally, when it was dis. covered by the Spaniards. The padre . declared that in his younger days he . had himself viewed this strange un. conquered city from the height, but! enter it; it was indeed too remote and adventurous armies of European in. vaders. As the story goes, two young enterprising men, probably influenced by the paragraphs of Mr. Stephens, undertook the hazardous enterprise of finding this wonderful city. sailed from New Orleans to Balize, in the fall of 1848, and guided by experienced Indians, proceeded to Copan, where they arrived on Christmas.— Here they formed an acquaintance . with a Spaniard by the name of Pedro Valesquez, who was a great traveler, aud was prepared to enter into their plans and unite his fortune with . theirs. They procured experienced and faithful guides, who lad a knowledge of the existence of Iximaya, and . proceeded on, at the expense ot increThey .

They pushed on until they met the military forces, whose ditty it was to guard the mountain pass, and suffer . no stranger to enter the Iximyan country. ‘This guard had no knowledge of . jfire-arms, but fought with spears and . arrows, aided by blood hounds. ‘The party was well armed, and a few shots with powder and ball, overawed and . subdued the courage of the assailants, and they were permitted to enter the city. It was a neat quadrangle, surrounded by a wall sixty feet in height, . our own independence,to live for Amerand ornamented with aculptured mon uments, and all the paraphernalia of of idoMttrous worship. The city contains eighty thousand inhabitants, an is surrounded by a beautiful and high ly cultivated country. The inhabi . tanta have records extending back fou . Syrian origin. One of the adventurers, !!ammond was wounded in the affray on entering the country, and soon died. The oth er, Huertis, undertook to persuade away a girl, to whoni he made love and by her was betrayed, and “sacri ficed in due form upén the high alta of the sun.” ‘The Naniard, Nelas quez, had inade the acquaintance of a young priest, by the name of Vaal peor, whom he persudded to go wit him out into the civilized world, an who had in charge the two Azted children. He contrived to convey th effects of the strangers, with the chil dren, to a country village. Senor Ve . lasquez, and moat of his company, mal . naged to escape over the wall in th jnight, and join the young priest and . make their escape. . In about fourteen days they reach ‘ed Ocosingo, after great sufering. . Here Velasquez reluctantly parted . with the most of his faithful Indians and here also died Vaalpeor, from th unaccountable toil and deprivations q . the journey.” By the middle of Feb . roary, Velasquez reached San Salvy heed with the children, where they be . came objects of the highest interest t jthe most intellectual classes of th icity. Here he conceived the project a . exhibiting them in Rurepe and Ame ica, as the greatest ethnological cur them on by the parties whom he ha appointed their temporary guardian to New York via Jamaica. This is a sketch of the story, whic we have ‘the promise will be given length fiom the MS. journal of Send Velasquez, at no distant date. If th whole is équal to the specimens whi the pamphlet contains, it will cons tute a rare dish for the lover of mantic tales and the chivalrous deed og knights-errant. A SCENE NOT IN THE BILLS. Conspicuous among the audience (says the Baltimore Argus) in the pal quette of the Museum on Saturda' night, was a country love-lorn swai with his intended. Whenever the d alogue on the stage turned upon lov stowed a series of most energetic hug upon his equally affectionate deary which attracted not only universal at tention, but impeded the progress o the corps dramatique, who at time were unable to continue their role Wholly engrossed with the tender passion, the turtles dis: covered not that general attention wa attracted toward them,and commenced a kissing scene. During the progress of this very pleasant but too publica pastime, a wag seated beside the bride that was to be, attached to her back a placard that was on his seat labelled in large characters, “Taken!” The explosion of laughter that ensu:d was universal, upon which the affectionate! pair darted down stairs amid deafening cheers and shouts. Mr. Clemens, in concluding his bril. liant speech in the U, S. Senate on nonintervention, made the following beautiful allusion to Henry Clay. It is a noble and well-deserved tribute from the youngest member of the Senate to one of its greatest ornaments. “Mr. Presieent, we have all read r cehtly, and none of us . trust without deep feeling. the opinions of the venerable statesman whose bodily infirmit now keeps him from among us. Who ie there witha higher wisdom than his? Who is there with a wider experience ? Who is there with so few motives to deceive himself or others as to the true in~ tererts of his country ? His voice comes to us cloihed with allthe sanctity the grave can give, with the added knowledge of existing things, which the grave must take away. Standing upon the verge of two worlds, and looking back upon that which he is about to leave.his heart swelling with a patriotism little clouded by the passions and prejudices which dim our sight, he tells ua that ours is n mission of peace, not @ mission of blood ; that to avoid all interferance in the affuirs of other nations,to preserve ica, to labor for America, and, if need be, to die for America, is a sacred duty, the performance of which will best. serve the cause of human liberty in every land beneath the sun. Sir, . shall follow his advice. If my own judgment differed from his, [ should distrust it.and feel inclined rather to be governed by the suggestions of him whom all men of every party have agreed to name patriot, Statesman, sage.”
