Tur Lonpon Times oN Secessron,—The London Times speaking of the threatening aspect of affairs in this country, says that a change in this Government would be neither advantageous nor disadvantageous to England. It continues: . For the safety of the Union itself, we coness we have no fears, Of course, it will take some time before men can cool down from the bluster which had been so profusely used for electioneering purposes to the language of moderation and trath. men have said these things so often that they are usbamed to show how little they believe them, and some so often that they have learned to believe them themselves, ' But when the cooler heads of the South be. gin to consider how imaginary is the injury . which they have sustained, how vast are . the interests involved, how heavy would be the cost, how considerable the danger of disunion, and how impossible it would be for the Southern States to maintain, in the . face of the world, the strong position they hold as members of the great American . . Confederation, we suspect that the South will think better of it, and turn its activity . into the more practicable channel of provi. ding Mr. Lincoln witha Democratic suc. ceesor in 1864. CauirorniA Mute Teams.—Rev. T. Starr King, of San Francisco, in aletter to the Boston Transcript, speaks of our mule teams . in California as follows: The frequent and immense mule teams . Which do the commerce between the highest mountain towns and the river depots, . gave arough and flavorcome wildness to the scene. Huge wagons, often two or three lashed together, were pulled by a string of . twelve or fourteen mules, which the drivers inspirited with the most preposterous whips. . Often I saw a whip over a stalwart wagoner’s shoulder which would be a good Joad for ordinary city muscles. The drivers take great pride in the length and weight of their whips, and acquire singalar skill in erack. ing them with both hands from the wagon. wheel over the ears of any one of the four. . teen mules that is disposed to shirk duty. There are about forty thousand of these faithful, tough, patieut creatures in the . State; and we must have seen a large per . centage of them pulling the huge etore. houses that supply the highlands, during . our forenoon ride to Knight’s Ferry, on the first slope of the mountains. Though generally quite cheap, the best specimens . fetch very high prices. There is one mule team in Stockton, eight in number seventeen and abalf hands high, that cost six thousand dollars. Indian Stave TRADE IN THE NoRTHERN Parr or THe State.—The Humboldt Times says that partiesin a remote portion of that county are engaged io the businesa of kid. napping Indian children and disposing of them to families in the towns and seitlements, receiving such a sum of money as may be agreed upon between the high contracting powers, in each instance from thir. ty to fifty dollars, according to the ‘trouble’ incurred in obtaining possession of the ehil. dren. It is intimated—and upon pretty good . authority—that stratagem, and sometimes force, is made use of to capture the children, the consent of the children and their relatives being considered of but little importance. these little savagee we do not pretend to say; but any one who bas lived long on this portion of the Pacific coast does not need to be told that Indians do not, as a genera) practice, consent to bave their children taken to a distance to reside among strangers. GrizzLy Bear Gatis.—We recently alluded to the high price paid by the Chinese for the gallofa grizzly. The Columbia Times has made inquiry on the subject of a . very learned and civilized Chinese doctor, who resides in that city, and was informed that his countrymen esteem a preparation of Bear’s Gall as an infallible remedy for all cutaneous diseases. When the prevalence of such disorders among the Celestials . is taken into consideration, it is not at all remarkable that they highly prize so sovereign aremedy. The preparation as sold by the doctor, isa black sticky substance, looking precisely like piteb. Several white . men who have tried it, asa remedy for boils and sores, say that it speedily effected . a cure, MaGnirupe of Intaxp Commercer,—~Statistics prove that the grain commerce of Lake Michigan is greater than that of the . Chicago and Milwaukee . Atlantic ocean. receive and ship more wheat than any four cities on the globe. Some . What amount of force or cun. ningis required to obtain possession of . LIFE IN SOUTH CAROLINA, The following extract froma letter written by a lady of South Carolina, to a rela. tive in New York, has been made public : _ You may imagine, dear uncle, our situation, but you never can realize it in its fal. ness. Already we tremble in our own homes in anticipation and expectancy of . What is liable to burst forth at any moment, & negro insurrection, Could you see the care and precaution displayed here by the proprietors of the negroes, not only planters, but others, you would not fora moment envy us our possessions. Not a night passes that we do not securely lock our field servants in their quarters; but our most loved and valaed house servants who in ordinary times we would trust to any extent, are watebed and guarded against’ with all the scrutiny and care that we possess, . Our planters and owners of slave property do not allow their servants to have . any Intercourse with each other, and the begroes are confined strictly to the premises where they belong. We are obliged to increase eur force of overseers to prevent too free intercourse even among our own servants, The negroes feel and notice these . restraints, and naturally ask ‘Why is this ?? . But it is eer for them to ask the . question, for they all comprehend the cause as well as we who own them, They have . already learned enough to give them an . idea of what is going on in the State and nation, and this knowledge they have not . gained from abolitionists ag some suppose, but from the conversation of their owners. indirectly heJ@ in their preseuce. They . have already’ heard of Lincoln’s election, and have heard also that he is for giving them their liberty, and you may imagine . the result, You have heard that our servants all love . their masters, and their masters’ families, . and would lay down their lives for them— that the colored race in the South prefers slavery to freedom—that they would not be free if they could, &e. &e. That is bat the poetry of the case; the reality consists in . sleeping upon our arms at night—in doubly _ bolting and barring our doors—in establisting and maintaining an efficient patrol foree—in buying watch-dogs and in takioy turns In Watching our sleeping children, t< guard them and ourselves from the yeu. geance of these same ‘loving servants,’ a vengeance which, though now smouldering is liable to burst out at any moment, to . overwhelm the State in spite of the Palmetto flags or State precautions, You at the North are not the only ones who are suffering financially by this new panic. The planters among us are really suffering from the depreciation in their property, Already negroes are noi worth half price, No one dares to buy @ servant, fearing lest he, in doing so, should be introducing upon his plantation one tinctured . With tne idea of freedom, My husband has but a few servants—I . believe but thirty-one all told—still I feel, . and so does he, that they are thirty-one too many insuch times as these. He would sell them immediately if it were possible ; bat the truth is, he could realize nothing for (hem at present, or at most not over half their real value, Slaves are a drag in the market, my husband says, and you know him well enough to judge of his judgment in such matters, Now, one word as to the military force of the State to protect us against an insurrection. I presume, with the exception of . Charleston, and perhaps a few large towns, . that the remainder of the State is situated . Very much as we are here ; and I will give . you an idea of how well prepared we are . to resista mob. Upon our place of about 1200 acres we have : of whites, males—busband, two overseers, and my son of 18 _ years; total, four; females---self aad cousin, . little Lucy, and one of the overseers’ wife ~four; of whom only four at the most are _ capable of bearing arms ; to offset which we . have at least seventeen field hands—sturdy young negroes—besides the female servants. . And this is a fair representation of the force . upon our plantations, Considering such a . State of facts, do you blame me for desiring _to absent myself, my husband and children . from the State ? Tue Inrant Czar.—Alexander, Czar ot all the Russians, was presented with a son on the 21st September. He was puzzled to find aname forhim, and applied to the spiritual medium, who, after a considerable amount of hocus vocus, designed the name Paul; and late papers are filled with accounts concerning his christening and the attendant ceremonies. He has already been appvinted chief of several regimenta, _ Export or Trrasure.—The Bulletin pub. lishes a table showing the exportation of treas. ure from San Francisco during the years 1858 59 and 60, The amount exported in 1858 wa: $47,548,025 00; in 1859, $47,610,462 64; ir 1860, $42,325,916 28, ‘ THE name of the German who was run over . by a railroad car at San Francisco, and died . from the injuries sustained, was John Schwan' da, a bar tender at Hayes’ Valley.
