INTERESTING FROM LOWER CALIFORNIA. Proclamation of the Military Commander Against Filtbusters. {From the San Diego Herald, Jan, 13.) Arumor bas been current here, for the past week, that the people of Lower California were about to make a demonstration to secure their independence of the Mexican confederation. As this rumor may have the effect to bring down from the upper coun e cut-throsts and robbers, who may consider this a fit o portunity to exercise their lawless voeations, we deem it proper to matty sach persons as may be attracted to is point by the hope of plunder, that there is no sen- sible or sane man in the whole of Lower Califor has for a moment entertained such a thoughtas d ration of independence. Even if the people desired it, they have not uniary or physteal ability to aus- tain an independent government for the space of six montba. ‘The following, which we publish at the request of Se- nor Melendres, Commandante of the northern frontier of Lower California, indicates a friendly disposition on the part of our neighbors, which is highly commendable ond praiseworthy—erpecially as we have no treaty with the Ln etn “Ahad dg of Mexico, as with some other powers, providing for the arrest and surrender of fagi- tives from justice.
