A republic like ours, promises to maintain itself independent and impartial in all its . operations, and at the same time, be subject . to the will of the people—a people divided often into as many factions as it has different . opinions and interests to be respected and cared for.

Grizzty 1x Camp.—We are informed by Mr. Seyton, of the Rocky Bar Co., that on Friday evening, a grizzly of large size — discovered prowling around the premises. Placing his paws against the building, he very coolly looked in at the window, frightened a @hinese servant nearly out of = wits, His tracks were seen the next morning in various places, showing that he made a close reconnoitre. It is somewhat singular that a wild grizzly should be thus wandering about within two miles of town. Tae Oxty Duet iy Inirnors.—The first and only duel ever fought in Illinois was in 1820, with rifles, between Alphonso Stewart and as follows: ‘I was yesterday shown the most . William Bennett ; the former was killed and the latter arrested, tried, convicted and hung.

In the quarrel Lott wasstabbed. They met again on /ast . Sunday, when the man fired upon Lott twice, . both balls taking effect.

Fires.—It is a little singular that we very seldom hear of a fire in any portion of Califoraia, without its being followed up by similar news from another quarter. During the past week, conflagrations have occurredin six different localities. ‘ie Jey We would call the atiention of our . readers to the advertisement of Reynolds & Co.in another column. They have lately opened a new store, and besides keeping the best of everything in their line, are well worthy of patronage. = A CaprtaL Toast.—The following toast was drank at a social gathering in Baltimore a few days since.

Most of these came from Australia, and among them! are a great many Americans. The following toast was given at Springfield in the Southern mines on the 4th. The Ladies of California. A delegation of the World’s Fair. They merit and justly deserve the admiration of those who enjey their favor. A Lanp Dispute occurred at the Fort. near Sacramento, on the evening of the 7th inst., . . Thursday of last week, for being accessories during which Mr. Peter Yeager, son of the tothe mearder of W.
