By the California our Mexican dates says the "Times and Transcript" are to the 18th ultimo. We find that our neighboring Republic is every day giving evidence of a shattered condition which renders it a matter of astonishment that she has so long held together. Not a pillar of the whole fabric from base to cornice that is not tottering and just ready to give way. In the northern tier of States, to wit : Senora, Chihuahua, Coahuila, New Leon and Tamaulapus, the Indians are still continuing their ravages, while in the last named State, a revolution against Cardenas the Governor, has just broken out, with every evidence of triumph. Out of the ten central States, seven are in successful condition of revolution. The different revolts, although to a great extent local in their character, which is only another evidence of the utterly decayed condition of the whole country, could nevertheless easily be united into one general plan. Guadalajara appears to be the head quarters, and the disaffected, conscious that the Government as at present organized, cannot hold together, are waiting with anxiety f*he movements ofthe State. It would not be at all surprising if the next dates should bring us news that Guadalajara had declared for the return of Santa Anna, and his assumption of the helm of oower, and that nearly every State of the Republic had wheeled into line to carry out these laws.

It makes material reduction in the present rates of postage upon newspapers, end will prove particularly advantageous to California.

Newspapers not weighing over one ounce and a half, when circulated in the State where published shall be charged one-halfof the rates before named ; provided, that small newspapers published monthly or oftener, when sent in packages to one address, and prepared by affixing stamps thereto, shall be chargeable at half a cent for each ounce or fraction of an ounce.

I've wandered far from thee, sister, Far from our happy home, And left the land that gave me birth In distant climes to roam. And since, though age has crossed my path, And manhood's on my brow, Yet still I've often thought of thee, I'm thinking of thee now. I'm thinking of the happy days When hand in hand together, We gaily roamed ournative hills, Tripped lightly o'er the heather. But many a rugged wave has rolled O'er life's tempestuous sea, Since through the wood and by the stream In youth I've strayed with thee. Does the grove of laurel yield the same, Bright flowers that once it bore; And through the mead the silver nil Sing gaily, as of yore f Do the lofty poplars to the breeze, • Still bend their heads as slow, And the willow wave above the spring, We planted long ago ■ Does the ivy still around our cot, In graceful clusters twine, And through the little window peep, The rose tree of lang syne ? Or has theruthless hand of time With ruin and decay, Dried up the spring we loved so well And swept the flowers away ? Dost wander still adown the path, O'er which the cedars wave. And kneel as we were wont to do, Beside our mother's grave ? And when amongst the tall green grass, The gentle zephyrs sigh, Dost still with spring flowers strew the beds, Where she and sister lie ? And dost thou ever wander where Thy absent brother strays, Who rambled through these scenes with thee, And shared thy childish plays ? Who set beneath the spreading oak So many an hour with thee, And paused to hear the wild bird s note, As happy and as free ■ The sun-bright hours that garlanded The morning of our days, Like sparkling dew before the sun, So quickly passed away. But many a year of toil and care, By land or on the sea, Has never from my heart erased The love I bore for thee. . And many a pleasant summer eve, I wander back again, And roam with thee those pleasant fields, And hear the song-bird's strain. Sit with thee on the mossy bank Beside the shady spring, And list the old familiar strains I loved to hear thee sing. May Ood preserve thee safe from harm, My sister kind and dear, May grief ne'er dim the lustre of Thy bright eyes with a tear. Though early friends no longer hold, A place in memory, My heart through all life's varying scenes. Has ne'er forgotten thee.
