I nder these circumstances, he determined to turn upon his Mexican pursuers, and seek safety both for his own party and the Ameri can settlers, not merely in the defeat of Castro, but in the total overthrow of the Mexican au thority in California, and the establishment of an independent government in that extensive dejiartment. It was on the sixth of June, and before the commencement of the war between the United States and Mexico could have there been known, that this resolution was ta ken ; and. by the sth of July it was carried into effect by a series of rapid attacks, by a small body of adventurous men, under the con duct of an intrepid leader, quick to perceive, and able to direct the proper measures for ac complishing such a daring enterprise. Ou the 11th of June a convoy of 200 hor ses for Castro's camp with an officer and 14 men, were suprised ami captured by 12 of Fre mont's party. On the 15th, at daybreak, the milit ry post of Sanoma was also surprised and taken, with nine brass cannon, 250 stand of mu.-kets, and several officers, and some men and munitions of war. j Leaving a small garrison at Sanoma, Col. i Fremont went to the Sacreraento to rouse the American settlers ; but scarcely had lie arriv ed there, when an express reached him from the garrison at Sanoma, with information that Cairo's whole force was crossing the bay to | attack that place. This intelligence was re ceived in the afternoon of the 2Jd of June, ! while he was on the American fork of the Sacramento, SO miles from the little garrison at Sanoma : and, at 2 o'clock on the morning of the 25th, he arrived at that place with 9t) riiiemcu from the American settlers iu that vi.Ucy. T'.c cr: my had not yet appeared.— Scouts w.-re -out out to rcvonmutre. and a par ty of 20 fell in with a squadron, of TO dragoons, (all of Castro's force which had crossed tiß bay.) attacked and defeated it, kiJcd aub wounding five, without harm to thenisehes : the Mi xicau conmiaudcr, Do la Torre, barely escaping with the loss of his transport hall and nine pieces of brass anil! ry. spiked. The country north of the Bay of Sau Fran cis*, o being chared of the enemy, Colonel Fre mont returned to Sanoma on the evening of tbe 4th of July. and. on '!:•? morning of tlie s:h. called th-? people together, explained to th ni the condition of things in the province, and recommended an immediate dee ia ration of in dependence.

Mancsuvres of Buchanan's Friends. Certain of the friends of Buchanan in this quarter arc attempting to procure support for him by means which are not allowed to come to the knowledge of his southern supporters. They give the strongest assurances that Mr. Buchanan, if fortunate enough to be elected, will so administer the laws as to give the real inhabitants of the territories an opjiortnnity of excluding slavery while yet in the territorial coudition. It is eveu said that Mr. Buchanan iias written a letter to this effect—a letter strongly intimating that he is with the North and against the South on this question—a let ter which is shown in confidence to people whose }>oiitical course is undecided, and with the express stipulation that nothing respecting it is to get into the newspapers. "We shall cheat the South yet," say these managers of Buchanan's ean-e for the free states. " Wait till Buchanan is elected, and see how he will disap)toiut the Yirgiuia and South Carolina politicians." But when we talk of cheating, the chance unfortunately, is. that it is the North, and not the South* that will IK? cheated. Has the Sooth ever been disappointed yet in auy can didate whom it presented ami supported ? The South >upport no man whom they do not know; j they put forward no man who is not either ful ly on their side, or of whom they are not per fectly sure that they can mould iiim to their pur;oses They knew Fierce far better than I we democrats of the North knew him ; they : secured our aid in electing him, ami then made him, as they were confident from the first of being able to do, their passive instrument. Bu chanan is altogether a* week a man as Piece, submitting as obediently to the stronger wills ami more imperious tempers of other men. The | Bichmon 1 K:uj irtr said truly of him, when it ! declared the other day, in an article quoted with high approbation by the Washington I'n- U'H. that J "He r.e\ or rave av :o ara:i he • rdiigirej the M>- mri Compro. so as tb- great setticraent of tae slavery question I vtweeu the North ami St-uih: a sett, 'uc.ut to which he " clung*" with ail his j sin; ~*h.

Twenty Reasons for Leaving the Demo cratic Party. I'.Y AX OLD DEMOCRAT. First. Because it has approved, for the past four years, the appointment of an avowed dis uuionist as Secretary of War. Scc<->i<{. Because it is supported by the on ly political party and jolitical organization that have ever threatened to secede from the Unioa. Third. Because its leaders deny therightof the majority to rule, aud encourage the spirit of anarchy, by publicly asserting that if their opponents should succeed the South would dis solve the Union. Fourth. Because it sustains the right of a bogus Legislature, elected by invaders from Missouri, to enact laws for Kansas. Fifth. Because it has stirred up sectional strife, by wantonly vioiatiug a compromise of thirty years standing. Sulk. Because the admission of Missouri as a State was part of the same legislation which forever prohibited Slavery in Kansas, and the repeal of a part of that legislation virtually implies the right to repeal the whole. Srcenlh. Because it refuses to admit Kansas, with a Constitution which is approved by a large majority of her actual citizens. Eighth. Because the whole course of its policy for the last four years, and of the policy to which it is committed by its Cincinaati plat form, " tends to sectiooalize the country, or make civil war, or dissolve the Union." -V i'tth. Because it repudiates the doctrines of Jvfft-rcon, and Jackson, and Wright, and lends its aid to the advocates of Slavery ex tension. T ttk. Because it openly or tacitly acqui esces iu outrages on freedom of speech and freedom of the press, in Kansas and in Wash ington. El'rrnth. Beunn*" its candidate for the Pre sidency signed the Ostend Manifesto. 'i'tcfi/lk. Because it has prostituted Execu tive patronage to force measures through Con gress iu violation of the will of the majority of the people of the United States. Thirteenth. Because it has denied the right of the majority of the people of the Union, through their ilepresentatives, to enact laws for the government of their own Territories. F- urteenth. Because it allows, without re buke. the desecration of the National domain by open and unblushing polygamy and incest. Fifteenth. Because it has endeavored, by ar bitrary judicial decisions, to establish Slavery irrevocably in all ihe Free States. Si !;e-iih. Because it is willing to give ad ditional stremrth to the only element that lias ever : rear red the stability of our tiovern uuut. iy a -wing its unlimited extension. ■ v Becaav it favors tetilMßnliiiiM •1 I ? ari-i er yof wealth, by courting the favor • ." 350 oD>slaveholders, with their ca? tal of ' r t 'us * icd millions of dtJlars, rather l:.an the iuttrests of ten m..u/s ol free labor ing men. E.g iter nth. Because it has not only riola toi! pli_*hted faith, 1 ut it has also broken all the pledges scninst the disturbance of previous legislation, with which it came into power. JLJecaase it has been tried and found wauling, and no peace or security can r ;-• sahiy tv anticipated if it is continued longer in power. 'J • '4. Because the elect' in of Mr. Bc •A .

This gen tleman, at least, bore a prominent part in the Kansas-Nebraska struggle. lie was iu the fight from the beginning, through ail its vary ing vicissitudes, and to the last moment of ex ultant victory. No other mau contributed more to the repeal of the Missouri restriction. If he cannot claim an exclusive merit, he can at least boast au equality with the foremost champions of the South. And so, by the effective exertions of one candidate, and the subsequent hearty sanction of another, the Democratic ticket is thorough ly identified with the principles of the Kansas- Nebraska act. Wrrr SATAN NEVER DISTURBS A WOMAN.— Mahommedans relate the following story as an authentic and veritable piece of tradition, illustrative of the fact that the Devil himself has duties to jierform in the world, and all things would go wroog if he were idle, and ne gleetd them : Iu the days of Mahommed, there was an Arab who had a pretty wife. The devil form ed himself into so exact and accurate a like ness of her husband, that she could not for the life of her tell which of the two was her hus band. Beth claimed her, that is the real hus band and the devil in his likeness. The case excited much iuterest in the neighborhood, bnt no solution of the dfScultv could be obtained. At length the case wa brougUl before his Majesty the Prophet. Mahommed, after a lit tle reduction, hc-iil up a certain earthen j-ot in his hand, with a;|out like a teapot,and said to ihcm both: '• Now, whichever is the real husband w ill outer this vessel by the spout, and thus estab lish his claim to tiie woman.*' The Devil, as having mure capacity in that way than the A rap of real flesh and bone.-: en tered at once in the j- ?as suggested. The mo ment he entered. Mahommed closed the top of the spout and kept him shut in. By the time Mahuinuted had kept iiim shut up for a few days, it was ascertained that the world was getting wrong in ali Its machinery. Mahommed wa* therefore constrained to let the Devil out of his confinement.to take his necessary manage ment of the affairs uf the world. But before restoring him to liberty again, Mahommed ex torted a solemn promise from him, that he would never trouble the ' fair sex" any more, but confine himself to what he could do among the "male sex." MR.
