WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.—Private letters from Guaymas, Sonora, to Oct. 10th, speak ing of the revolution there, confirm the Iler- ald's statements, and say that Capt. Stone, with his surveying party, consisting of about thirty Americans, occupied three houses in the centre of the town, directly between the opposing parties. If an attack had been made on him, lie would have hoisted the American flag, and fought under it, being well armed and hav- Guaymas, in good health and spirits; would return to Arizona shortly on his way to Washington. Is Mr. Brown a man of means? asked t gentleman of old Mrs. Matilda Jane Marga ret Elizabeth Sophrona Victoria Dewsenber- ry, referring to one of her neighbors. Well, I reckon he ought to be, drawled out the old beldame, for he's the meanest man in town. A Proclamation. GEORGIA. By JOSEPH E. BROWN. Governor of said State.

A bill, we observe, has been introduced into the House, by Mr. Sprayberry, of Co- toosa, to authorise aliens to own and sell real estate, in the same manner as if they were citizens of the United States. Under the act of 1785, foreigners were authorised to take mortgages of land for se curity of money loaned, and to foreclose the same. Under the act of 1810, lands devised to them are not subject to escheat, but may be sold for their benefit. And under the act of 1849, they are auth orised, after they have given notice of their intention to become citizens of the United States, to receive, purchase, and hold real es tate, as fully and completely as if they were citizens. We see no reason why the legislature should not go a step farther, and by passing the bill introduced by Mr. Sprayberry, auth orise aliens, without any declaration of inten- tion to become citizens, real estate, but to sell, to devise it. The Southern Recorder, not only to hold mortgages and to in reference to this in to The civil war had been ended by the sur render of the authorities to the rebels, who, after getting all they demanded, and a guar anty of immunity from prosecution, reinsta ted the authorities. That the Americans were not attacked was owing to their firm position and their decli ning to surrender their houses to the rebel leaders. The following is the statement of the Her- aid, alluded to above. A revolution broke out in Guaymas about the 1st of October last, caused by tlie local authorities having sold some of tlie lands be longing to the Pueblo of Guaymas, which was entirely against tlie wishes of a great portion of tlie people of the place, who de clared that the authorities had no right to sell the same, and that it was not their wish that any such sale should be made, or the ti tles to the same passed, the authorities con tending that they had the right to sell, and would do so. The people armed themselves, took possession of the forts, the towns, and imprisoned the Prefect, tlie Judges of the first and second instance, and some of the Councilmen threatening to shoot them if their demands were not acceded to, and their rights respected. This the authorities pledg ed themselves to do. and were liberated. Some few days afterwards, the authorities not moving in tlie matter, the people again took possession of tlie fort back of, and com manding the town and the road entering the town from Hermisillo, and threatened to take the authorities and shoot them if they did not fulfill their pledge. After some consid erable negotiation; during tlie day, the peo. ple agreed to give the authorities until the evening of the 10th to do as they promised. This was the state of affairs when our infor mant left on the morning of that day. Capt. Charles P. Stone, chief of the com mission for the survey of the State of Sono ra. with his party of engineers, &c., were at Guaymas, all well, and had been hard at work. Lieut. Mowry, member elect to Con gress from Arizona and New Mexico, was in bill, has the follwing paragrah : "PRIVILEGE TO ALIENS.—There is a bill now before the House, introduced by Mr. Sprayberry, of Cotoosa, allowing foreigners to own and sell real estate in tlie same man ner as if they were citizens of the United States. We consider it a dangerous power. Suppose Rothschild, or Baring, or any other Europeon capitalist with his hundred mil lions of dollars, were to buy up a large dis trict of lands, and continue to enlaage and colonise his possessions—this operation going on in several parts of the State at once, what would our institutions be worth? Let no such entering wedge be permitted for our destruction. If a foreigner wishes to invest his money in Georgia lands, let him take the oath of allegiance, and thus his right will be complete. On no other terms should the privilege be granted.” We approve this bill, not because it gives a “privilege to aliens," but because it, will benefit the State and its citizens in tlie exact way in which tlie Recorder is apprehensive that it will injure them, i. e., by attracting foreign capital to this State, to be invested in its wild lands, and thus to stimulate their settlement and cultivation- It is not proba ble that any foreign capitalist would invest in our unoccupied lands with the idea of col- onizing them ; but if this should occur, as the Recorder supposes that it might, we can see no objection to it and no danger to our insti tutions in it. They would be worth as much as they are now, and our lands would be wort’ii fifty per cent more than they are now, both in theold counties and in tlie new. A large investment of foreign capital in our un- occepicd lands would cause lands of all kinds, throughout tlie Ssate, to appreciate in value and increase tlie ravenue of the government from this source. A large colonization of foreigners upon these lands, (though we do not apprehend that tlie passage of the bill now before the legislature would stimulate foreign immigration at all,) would produce the same results, and as far as we are able to see, without danger to our institutions or de triment to any of our interests. The Recorder carries its prejudice against foneigners too far, when it opposes a scheme which, in its opinion, may introduce a large amount of capital and labor into this State, because it involves the grant of a privilege to aliens.— Constitutionalist was practiced in Germany, Italy, etc, as a genteel pastime, in the houses of the educa ted.and wealthy, who however, could not en tirely dispense with the aid of the artisan. From this intermixin of rank, arose the priv ilege of the printers to wear arms, (to be an armiger, esquire.) In 1541 Frances I. sup pressed that right, relative to journeyman and apprentices. A Snake.—The overseer of a plantation, about twelve miles from the city, on the Gulf road, informs us that one of the negroes on the place killed this summer a rattlesnake whicli had forty-seven rattles. This would make his snakeship nearly half a century old.—Sav. Republican. “What has brought you here?” said a lone woman who was quite "flustrated" the other morning, by an early call from a batch- lor neighbor who lived opposite, and who she regarded with peculiar favor. “I came to borrow matches." "Matches !" that’s a likely story! Why don’t you make a match yourself! Iknow what you come for,” cried the exasperated old virgin, as she backed the bachelor into a corner, “you came here to kiss me almost to death! But you shan’t, without you are the strongest, and the Lord knows you are!” A few nights since in New York, a serena ding party, after spending an hour in produ cing the most dulcet strains, were informed by a polite watchman that “ nobody lived there-" The more a man accomplishes, the more he may. An active tool never grows rusty. You always find those men the most forward to do good, or to improve the times and man ners, always busy. Slander.—Let no one suppose that by acting a good part through me, he will es cape slander. There will be those who hate them for the very qualities that ought to pro cure esteem. There are some folks in the world who are not willing that others should be better than themselves. BORROWING.—It is oftentimes difficult to borrow money, but, as a general thing, it is easier to borrow than to pay. He was a clev- ver chap who made the following rejoinder: “Hawkins, if you will pay down the prin cipal of what you owe me, I will throw off the interest; or you if you will pay up the interest, the principle can remain.” - « To tell you the plain truth, Dobbins, it is against my principle to pay the interest, and against my interest to pay the princi ple.” The reader, probably, would like to know| what Hawkins had to say. “ Cassar,” said a planter to his negro, “ climb up that tree and thin out the branch es.” The negro showed no disposition to comply, and upon being pressed for a reason, answered, “ Well, look heah, massa, if I go up dar an’ fall down and broke my neck, dat’ll be a tousand dollars out o’ you pocket. Now, why don’t you hire an Irishman to go up, and den if he falls and kills heself dar won’t be no loss to nobody.” Wilkins—“ Really this is not to be borne. Who are you, sir? and who was your fath er?” Homebred—“ Who was my father? My father was the inventor of threshing ma ¬ chines. I am the first of his make, and can be set to in operation at a very little expense and at the shortest notice. So look out. CURE EOR FOUNDER.—A farmer earnestly recommends for the cure of founder in hors es the administration, two or three times a week, of a handful of sunflower seed, mixed with tlie feed of the horse. It is a releif to a cold or cough, and we should fear no harm, and expect some good from tlie trial of this remedy for founder.—Iowa Farmer. IMMENSE CORN CHOP in Kentucky—The Louisville Journal says that the corn crop has never been so large in Kentucky as tlie pres ent crop promises to be. It states that there are fields in tlie blue grass region estimated at one hundred and eighty-five bushels to the acre, wliile fields promising seventy-five to eighty bushels are quite common. with rich blessings, to protect and preserve us from war, hunger and pestilence, and to pour out his holy spirit upon us in copious showers. And whereas, these manifestations of His protecting care and loving kindness, admonish us of the debt of gratitude, whicli we, as a people of a great State, owe to the Giver of every good and perfect gift, and of our duty to be humble and thankful, render ing praises to His great name, “in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in our hearts to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things." I do, therefore, issue this, my Proclama tion setting apart Thursday, the 25th day of this present month, as a day of thanksgiving and prayer. And I do, earnestly invite the different congregations composing all the religious denominations of every name in this State, to meet at their respective places if worship, on that day, and unite in return ing thanks and singing praises to our God for his wondrous works in the past, and in fervent prayer for His protecting care in fu ture, remembering that the Psalmist has said "Let the people praise Thee, then shall the earth yield her increase, and God, even our God, shall bless us."
