eS Che sevada Journal. RFIDAY MORNING, APRIL 234, 1858. ™ Law and Order The Legislature being on its last quarter, and probably about to adjourn, and there being found a nice, snug little sum left in the Treasury over and above the ordinary and extraordinary expenses of the session, the Solons of the capital hayeset about discovering some process to deplete the treasury that the officer of that department may not be exposed to the temptations which unfortunately beset his predecessor. The expedient hiton isa choice one and worthy of the skull that produced it. [he law and order bummers that Gov. Johnson tried to call out but did’nt, are tu be paid for a loyalty they might have felt but never evinced in a more unconquerable manner than when marching roops to be Paid. — to ebarge a free lunch in some place out of the reach of the vigilance committee. The sum of $50,00¢ is appropriated, ao far as the action of the Assembly is concerned, to pay these fellows of the doize far niente stripe for doing nothing . Probably the bill will pass the Senate, and become a law. It would’nt do to allow a dollar to remain in the vaults of the State over summer. Besides, since the Vigilance Committee the lunch eaters out of office and away from the official pap in San Francisco, they drove have been ina starving condition, and . barely able to keep soul and body together. Fifty thousand dollars will make a little stake for a good many and enable them to eke out a subsistence till the State collects her next batch of taxes, when the poor fellows can look lank and famishing again and perhaps come . in for another lift. After all, it may be the fairer way of giving these bummmeis support. Bound to be leeches upon the public, they should not be left to forage upon a few inacriminal manner. Each good citi zen should furnish his q ota towards their support. So, take the cash out of the treasury. It belongs to the people. OTHE Cauirornia Cuirerist.’— Such is the title of a publication in magazine form, of forty eight pages, to he issued from the Catiforuia press on the first of June. We learn fiom the prespectus it is to be a monthly, embellished . with colored plates, lithographs aud en-; gravings, and furnished at the price of $5 perannum. The publication is to be “devoted to every industrial pursuit connected with the progress of agriculture. floriculture, mechanism and mining; whilst the development of the Natural Histery of our seas, rivers, coasts and islands, will constitute an interesting feaiure of the work.” It is designed to. be atext book and horticultural guide of the Pacifie coast. The ‘Culturist”’ is under the proprietorship of O. C, Wheeler. and W. Wadsworth, and edited by the former gentlemen. Mr. Wheeler is eminently qualified for the task and we shall expect a production worthy of the State. When itis taken that many plants and shrubs change their nature, so to speak, transplanted into California soil, and therefore requiring a different cultivation from the into consideration same plantin other countries, the importance of a publication of this kind will be distinetly understood. of our citizens are devoting a portion of their money aud some time to the cultiAs many vation of the ornamental and useful of } the vegetable kingdom, we cordially recommend the “California Cniturist” to their attention, satisfied as we are that it will be worth all it costs. Later from Washington Territory -— The Columbia arrived on Sunday with Olympia and Steilacoom dates to the 9th inst, and Port Townsend tothe 13th. The principal news relates to the new gold fields on Thompson and Frazerriv ers. The papers there claim that the miners take out from $8 to $20 per day to the man. It is.150 to 200 miles from Billington Bay to the mines. Provisions are very searce and high at the mines, and persons who design coming from Calitornia would do well to bring a supply of artieles of consumptier, as well as miners’ tools. The traveled route, from Port Townsend, to the mines, is now altogether by way of Frazer's river in boats and canoes. The Hudson Bay Co’s. steamer Otter finds no difficulty in going some fifty miles up the stream, and her captain thinks, he can easily run his boat to the locality of the present mining operations, (twenty miles above Fort Hope at the Rapids.) The Frazer is a large stream, larger than the Sacramento, having its source in the Rocky Mountains, and draining a ot country; its prineipal tributary, ThompVast exteit son’s river, comes in frem the south, having its source iv this Territory. The U. S. soldiers at Steilacoom, were deserting for the mines. Rumor——It is rumored that the ehurches in this place are a little shaken in faith as to the seripture promise :— “Whore two or three are gathered together in my name &e,”’ and design to double teams to insure the advent of what is most undonbtedly needed. “SoLb.”—A minority of the citizens of this place have been most beautifully diddled during the past week by a The mode of procedure was in this wise: Greaser selects his victim and very slyly produces before him an entirely new silver pencil and gold pen. On these he wishes an advance uf two dollars anda half, for One look at the article satisfies the citizen that it is wretched greaser. about twenty-four hours. worth three times the amount asked, and a glance at the villainous profile of Comforting himself with the reflection that he, at least, comes by it honestly, he pungles tLetwo fifty and with a quiet the applicant, that it is stolen. chuckle at his own astuteness, puts the pen out of sight until the inquiries sure to be made forit are over. As near as we cau estimate about thirty-four respectable citizens still labor under the delusion that they have made a most profitable speculation upon these advances, but the balance cf the three dozen dupes havea lively consciousness ofthe fact that they are effectually humbugged. . ser has received such slight advances The pencils upon which the greaprove to have been purchased at a store in this place for ten do!lars a dozen, and there are plenty more of the same sort left. We suggest tothe persons holding this hypotheeated property that if the twenty-fcur hours in which it was to be redeemed, are past, they need have no modesty about publicly sporting their purchases. They can rest assured that . it is honestly theirs. A lady of Downieville thus writes of “T had, the fire. a beautiful dream. her recent dream: soon after I saw our chureh standing in a place where there . was a glorious, beautiful light, shining allabout. It seemed to be built of polished white marble, and the windows seemed set in slabs «f precious stones ; the spire rose, a clear, polished shaft of marble, slender and lofty.

Everything was transfirmed toa perfect heaveuly thing, yet } it was the same chuich.” A Model Inquest in El Dorado — . Some days since, says the Placerville Index, the body of a man by tie name lof Matthews, was found near the head of the ditch at Henry’s Diggings, who had probably been frozen to death in It stated that four men who went for the purpose of interring the body, concluded to hold a sort of itapromptu inquest, and upon exami. nation found upon the peison of the de. ceased one hundred is . the late storm. j doliars in cash.— The four worthies immediately adminupen the estate—divided the money equally amongst the party——bu‘ied the defunct, and returned to camp, istered . 1 . } . } supposing that they had madea good jday’s job. The Coroner is about to . look into the business. Excitement.—Our readers are aware that an intense religious excitement is pervading the States. Religious Eastern An attempt to create the same effect here has not proven altogether unsuccessful, Prayer meetings of a . popular order are being held in San Francisco and Sacramento, which are said to be numerously attended, not only by professed christians but outsiders. Congressional Election Postponed.—In the usual order of things another Congressional election would have come off this fall. A bill has passed the two . houses of the Legislature postponing the election one year. It will probably receive the Governor’s signature and become a law, A more necessary act would be one to district the State. Evratum— Correction —In giving an . account last week of the tragedy at Allison’s Ranch, in which one Porter lost his life, we gave the name of the principalof the other sideas Dan Colin. It was Michael Collins should be substituted. an error. Colored Migration.—The cvlored poping on the 14th instant, to consider what course to pursue in case the negro act . ulation of San Francisco held a meet. } . beeamea law.

Manslaughter is best crime ef which any has been tound guilty. the hig A new gold fever broke outin San Francisco on the 15th inst., and seemed likely to earry eff a good many victims, in the direction of Puget’s Sound and Avizona. Pass around the Inquiry —If this noNew El Porado.—The people about Puget Sound in Washington Territorry are somewhat excited now-a-days with the prospect of sudden importance from the recent discoveries on Thompson’s and Frazer’s riversin the British Possions. Large quantities of gold have been found in that region such as to lead to the belief that an extensive auriferovg country exists almost wholly unexplored on the nortbern border of our Pacific territory So firm is the belief of the existence of hidden wealth in that Territory of Washington that a general stampede has ensued, all kinds of laborers leaving for the mines as fast as they can. Large numbers are leaving Port Townsend daily for the diggings, which are a hundred and fifty miles dista:t. The mines can nearly be reached by water. in canoes and boats. ‘The fever of Oregon aud Washington Territories has exrended down the coastand carried off several from San Francisco. Some of the Bay papers point to the Gold Bluff expeditions, and counsel caution. A Great Project —Yhe project is now seriously considered in both countries of connecting France and England by a sub-marine railroad. The distance is twenty-two miles, and itis proposed to have built a triple archway in stone, for three railroad tracks under water, commencing the construction at both ends, and meeting inthe middle. An island is to be constructed in the centre where the water is the shallowest. Vetorp.—Goyv. Weller, onthe 20th inst., vetoed the gambling act. In message he recounts the defects of the act, says it is impotent for good and his pregnant with evil, and that he prefe.s that the few disgraceful scenes which are enacted under the old law shuuld be kept up for another year than that the new act should become alaw. The veto was sustained. Sale of Flowers.—A large sale of flowers from the Golden Gate Nursery, San Francisco, took place yesterday, in Judge Caswell’s building, Broad street The prices rsuged from a few bits to ten and twelve dollars, each. <A part of the stock sold well. The bidding for most plauts was lively. Assay Office-— Miners wanting to know exact'y what their gold is worth had better have it assaved at the office of F, Schotte, nearly opposite the Journal establishment. Alapacas.—A correspondence has been carried on fur sometime between James Langley, of this city, and ex-Governor Bigler, our Minister at Chili, in relation to the importation of Alapacas, Vicuetc. Mr. Langley expects that the next steamer will bring him a bill of lading for the first shipment.— Eve. Visitor. nas, Need'nt Fear.—The State Journal indulges in the following lucubrations.— The “cause” is occurring which will draw off all the Democrats the party is able to spare : “In truth and in fact, the Democratic party is too strongin numbers. If some eause shoutd occur which would draw off all those who are Democrats—professedly—because ours is the party in power, it would be a blessing.” : te Royal 'T. Sprague, of Shasta, has announced himselfas a candidate tor the Supreme Judgeship, subject to the nomination of the Demoeratic party this fall. Cowhided —A. W. Russel, proprietor of the Sonoma Democrat, was cowhided a few days since by one Boggs in Santa Rosa. Russel was formerly from this place, anda candidate for Supervisor on the Republican ticket two years since. Sacramento Daily Mercwry.--Since the enlargement of this paper, it presents the appearance at first sight of the Union. Reading it the deception is palpable. Left.—Mrs. Cora Annna Weekes, and her husband, touk leave of the few subseribers to the Atheneum, onthe 14th, and sailed for Australia, taking the money they collected for the paper iu advance with them. Mrs. Weekes made a fine decoy duck here. Doubtless she will make an excellent Sidney duck there. Rev. J. A. Bonner of Marysville, will preach at the M. E. Church on next Sabbath morning and evening. Farors—Jemes E. Hanlin, of the Broad street Book Store has our thanks fo. Harper’s magazine and other Atlantic publications, which we forgot to notice last week.

Sullivaa.—We are indebted to ee this frieud of the press and enterprising uews agent for a choice budget of newspapers by the last steamer. The Mercury.—W.S. Long announces himself sole editor of the Sacramento Mercury since its enlargement. A Witp Prosect.—California is noted for producing the wildest of schemes. A few years ago, a school of log-rollers infested the Legislature with a project of bridging the Bay of San Francisco, seven miles across. The bridge was to serve as a wagon road, railroad track, an aqueduet to convey wholesome water from Contra Costa to San Francisco, and the thing was also to be constructed so as to have a row of mills to be moved by tide power, &e. This grand enterprize was commended as promising to be one of the most lucrative of any of the age. A Dill was introduced to grant the right of way, and exclusive privileges to a company, the names of whose members appeared in the bill. Luckily the thing was killed. But the most imposing project that has ever been brought to the notice of the people of the State, is that of turning the waters of the Klamath into the Sacramento. The object of this proposed work is to furnish more water and better navigation tothe Sacramento and to relieve the miners on the Klamath of too much water they are troubled with at most seasons of the year. eration of the great benefits to accrue te the navigation of one stream, the comIn considpany that is to undertake the work, is to have the right to impose a toll upon all boats passing up and down; and iu consideration of »emoving the water fiom the other river the miners along its banks are to pay nice little tax annually. A bill to procure exclusive privileges for the company has been killed in the legislature of a thousand reconsiderations, but a few days since. Eavestrian THEATER.—Mitchell’s Equestrian company performed Wednesday and last nights, in their pavillion at the rearof Harrington & Pat‘erson’s. About a thousand persons were estimated to be in attendance on the first night, when the entertainment cpened with the popular farce of Family Jars," and closing with “Putnam, or the Iren Son of ’76."” “Jibbenainosay, or Nick o the Woods” and “Putnam” were enacted last evening. The parts taken by Mrs. Woodward, Miss Sophie Edwin, Warwick, Leman, Mitchell, and Peoples, were well done. It the The Equestrian Theater is unique. is a theater under canvass, with stage so arranged that horses can be introduced. The company das several ene aD ee ne a aac theatrical stars of the equine species. We understand the company has been remarkably successful, playing almost always to full tents, and to the satisfaction of the audiences. The Equestiian Theater will perform to-night and to-morrow night at Grass Valley. TueaterR.—Mad'lle Duret and the Graves Troupe occupied the boards at Frisbie’s Theater, on Monday and Tuesday evenings in the presence of fair houses. Their first appearance was in “Green Bushes, or the Huntress of the Mad’le Duret sustained the principal character well. Miss Graves has improved greatly since her Mississippi.” former visit, and is altogether a very passable actress. Tuesday evening Camille was enacted. he first and second acts dragged considerably. The fault was not however in Mad'lle Duret, who personated Camille excellently well, particularly in the two last acts. Well supported, we have no doubt, Mad’lle Duret can play the parts in which she chooses to appear equal to almost any actress who has visited this city. On Wednesday and Thursday evenings the company appeared at Grass Valley. e Of all the members of the Assembly from this county, Young alone voted for the stealing bill of $50,000 to pay the law and order ragamuffins. The names of the whole batch who lent themselves to this scheme to plunder the treasury will be remembered—You bet. Temperance Lecrures.—A Mrs. Ella C. Smith read a really good temperance lecture at the Methodist Church on Saturday evening last. The fair lecturess is a fine reader withal. On Monday evening A. A. Sargent, Esq., held forth at the same place on the same subject, to a fine house. As usual, his lecture was worth listening to. Suppen Dearu.—A teamster named J. F. Brainerd, stopped at the house of Ross, in the lower part of the courty on Tuesday evening of last week. He was taken suddenly sick in the night and died on Saturday following. Suspicions being afloat concerning the event, Coroner Bazely held a post mortem examination on the body on Tuesday last. ‘The deceased came to his death by an enlargement of the heart. Rospery.—The Yankee Blade Hotel was robbed a few nights since of some 50 or 60 dollars. The thief entered during the nighgand visited all of the rooms, but only sueceeded iu obtaining the above amount from a teamster by the name of Webster. AnoTHER.—A bold thief entered a residence on Commercial street, a few mornings since, and stole a number of small coins of guld from a purse belonging to a lady. {= The San Francisco Daily Globe publishes an issue on Sunday morning so entirely different from the paper on the other days of the week as to merit . notice. Instead of miserable attempts at bolstering up Lecompton and the President the Sunday paper is filled with literary articles from the most accomplished pens in the State. The Glode of last Sunday has a fire lengthy poem from the muse of Edward Pollock, the most gifted of California’s bards; also a poem on labor, by Frank Soule. Besides. J. Ross Browne contributes “a_ talk with the Oregon Indians,” and many other worthy productions make up the paper. We commend the Sunday Globe. It is superior, thus far to any literary paper we have struck in this country. Not Mealy Mouthe1.—Broderick in his efforts thus far in the U. S. Senate, has not gore out of his way to choose his words, preferring rather to use that language which does not go on all sides of his meaning but never hit it. In passage at arms with Senator Bigler there were several geutleman af the Lehis compton side who took it upon them to move about and cough when he took the fluor. Broderick is reported to have turned to Mr. Siidell, one of them, and said : “Senators have a habit of coughing and sneezing when some gentlemen rise to addrese the Senate. Jt ts a vulgar trick, which is insulting, and which no me ” gentleman wil be guilty of ! He uttered this Jast sentence with an an emphasis that will not soon be forgotten. The coughing ceased. There's Nothing in it-—The Butte Record savs the Post Master at Grass Valley, who got married a few days since, wiil lose his head, having gone in direct opposition to the known sentiments of the Administration question.

Unpoeticall! My dear young lady, callit aswan (and the difference ‘s not so great afier all) and it is the very soul of peetry.

The goose is fully as patriotic; a flock . of geese saved Rome by ther cackling, aad some of their descendarts, 1 should say, occasionally try it in the molern . Athens. I once knew a couple of tiese interesting birds, who for many years presented a model spectacle of conuubial bliss; they were lovely and pleasant during their lives, aud at their death they were scarcely to be divided—as I knew to my cost, having smashed a carving knifein the attempt. Shakespeare makes honorable mention of the goose ; he makes Macbeth say to one of his triends : The devil damn the black, thou cream-faced loon, Where gottest thou that goose? The goose is indissolubly connected with all our reminiscences of childhood. What bosom doves not thrill with delight at the recollection of that dear old classic muse whose name is so fondly linked with the endearing title of mother; whose “melodies will never die, while nurses siug and bavies ery ?” playin the shavings By Telegraph t2 the Nevada Journal. SacramMENTo April 22. Conviction of Metz.--The trial of Peter Metz was brought to a close about 7 o'clock last evening by the jury rendering a verdict of “guilty of murder in the second degree.”” The verdict was arrived at doubtless upon the charge of the Judge, who held that to constitute murder it must be proven that he eutertained malice.

We shall await with intense avxiety to hear the effect of this harlequin arrangement upon society at Washington. The palaces and masquerades of San Fiancisco, are to be thrown entirely in the shade by the Dan Rice-like ente: prise and Mr. . Merryman attainments, of th industrious Dr. Gwin. The announcement accompanying his cards, was a timely and delicate hint for those who have “Nothing to wear,” to remain absent. In this, exhibits exquisite statesmanship. . It prevents the celebrated “Dr. Coll ‘yer’ from instituting a suit against California’s distinguished Senator, fur an invasion of his patent right. We would suggest that the industrious Doctor should appear with a licephalous top-gear, emblazoned in front with the coat of arms of Mississippi, and that of Texas on the rear, surmounted by a figure of Neptune sitting up to a Meri maid in “Faney Dress”’—a tight fitting hodice, spangled with geld scales (supposed to be) fished from wrecked steamers—his bifureated extremities encased _in crinoline, underneath and slightly vis\itle in front, a railroad engive, while opposite and under the rear of the criniolire, shall appear one of the walking 1 beams and rudders of the Pacific Mail S.

eS Che sevada Journal. RFIDAY MORNING, APRIL 234, 1858. ™ Law and Order The Legislature being on its last quarter, and probably about to adjourn, and there being found a nice, snug little sum left in the Treasury over and above the ordinary and extraordinary expenses of the session, the Solons of the capital hayeset about discovering some process to deplete the treasury that the officer of that department may not be exposed to the temptations which unfortunately beset his predecessor. The expedient hiton isa choice one and worthy of the skull that produced it. [he law and order bummers that Gov. Johnson tried to call out but did’nt, are tu be paid for a loyalty they might have felt but never evinced in a more unconquerable manner than when marching roops to be Paid. — to ebarge a free lunch in some place out of the reach of the vigilance committee. The sum of $50,00¢ is appropriated, ao far as the action of the Assembly is concerned, to pay these fellows of the doize far niente stripe for doing nothing . Probably the bill will pass the Senate, and become a law. It would’nt do to allow a dollar to remain in the vaults of the State over summer. Besides, since the Vigilance Committee the lunch eaters out of office and away from the official pap in San Francisco, they drove have been ina starving condition, and . barely able to keep soul and body together. Fifty thousand dollars will make a little stake for a good many and enable them to eke out a subsistence till the State collects her next batch of taxes, when the poor fellows can look lank and famishing again and perhaps come . in for another lift. After all, it may be the fairer way of giving these bummmeis support. Bound to be leeches upon the public, they should not be left to forage upon a few inacriminal manner. Each good citi zen should furnish his q ota towards their support. So, take the cash out of the treasury. It belongs to the people. OTHE Cauirornia Cuirerist.’— Such is the title of a publication in magazine form, of forty eight pages, to he issued from the Catiforuia press on the first of June. We learn fiom the prespectus it is to be a monthly, embellished . with colored plates, lithographs aud en-; gravings, and furnished at the price of $5 perannum. The publication is to be “devoted to every industrial pursuit connected with the progress of agriculture. floriculture, mechanism and mining; whilst the development of the Natural Histery of our seas, rivers, coasts and islands, will constitute an interesting feaiure of the work.” It is designed to. be atext book and horticultural guide of the Pacifie coast. The ‘Culturist”’ is under the proprietorship of O. C, Wheeler. and W. Wadsworth, and edited by the former gentlemen. Mr. Wheeler is eminently qualified for the task and we shall expect a production worthy of the State. When itis taken that many plants and shrubs change their nature, so to speak, transplanted into California soil, and therefore requiring a different cultivation from the into consideration same plantin other countries, the importance of a publication of this kind will be distinetly understood. of our citizens are devoting a portion of their money aud some time to the cultiAs many vation of the ornamental and useful of } the vegetable kingdom, we cordially recommend the “California Cniturist” to their attention, satisfied as we are that it will be worth all it costs. Later from Washington Territory -— The Columbia arrived on Sunday with Olympia and Steilacoom dates to the 9th inst, and Port Townsend tothe 13th. The principal news relates to the new gold fields on Thompson and Frazerriv ers. The papers there claim that the miners take out from $8 to $20 per day to the man. It is.150 to 200 miles from Billington Bay to the mines. Provisions are very searce and high at the mines, and persons who design coming from Calitornia would do well to bring a supply of artieles of consumptier, as well as miners’ tools. The traveled route, from Port Townsend, to the mines, is now altogether by way of Frazer's river in boats and canoes. The Hudson Bay Co’s. steamer Otter finds no difficulty in going some fifty miles up the stream, and her captain thinks, he can easily run his boat to the locality of the present mining operations, (twenty miles above Fort Hope at the Rapids.) The Frazer is a large stream, larger than the Sacramento, having its source in the Rocky Mountains, and draining a ot country; its prineipal tributary, ThompVast exteit son’s river, comes in frem the south, having its source iv this Territory. The U. S. soldiers at Steilacoom, were deserting for the mines. Rumor——It is rumored that the ehurches in this place are a little shaken in faith as to the seripture promise :— “Whore two or three are gathered together in my name &e,”’ and design to double teams to insure the advent of what is most undonbtedly needed. “SoLb.”—A minority of the citizens of this place have been most beautifully diddled during the past week by a The mode of procedure was in this wise: Greaser selects his victim and very slyly produces before him an entirely new silver pencil and gold pen. On these he wishes an advance uf two dollars anda half, for One look at the article satisfies the citizen that it is wretched greaser. about twenty-four hours. worth three times the amount asked, and a glance at the villainous profile of Comforting himself with the reflection that he, at least, comes by it honestly, he pungles tLetwo fifty and with a quiet the applicant, that it is stolen. chuckle at his own astuteness, puts the pen out of sight until the inquiries sure to be made forit are over. As near as we cau estimate about thirty-four respectable citizens still labor under the delusion that they have made a most profitable speculation upon these advances, but the balance cf the three dozen dupes havea lively consciousness ofthe fact that they are effectually humbugged. . ser has received such slight advances The pencils upon which the greaprove to have been purchased at a store in this place for ten do!lars a dozen, and there are plenty more of the same sort left. We suggest tothe persons holding this hypotheeated property that if the twenty-fcur hours in which it was to be redeemed, are past, they need have no modesty about publicly sporting their purchases. They can rest assured that . it is honestly theirs. A lady of Downieville thus writes of “T had, the fire. a beautiful dream. her recent dream: soon after I saw our chureh standing in a place where there . was a glorious, beautiful light, shining allabout. It seemed to be built of polished white marble, and the windows seemed set in slabs «f precious stones ; the spire rose, a clear, polished shaft of marble, slender and lofty.

Some days since, says the Placerville Index, the body of a man by tie name lof Matthews, was found near the head of the ditch at Henry’s Diggings, who had probably been frozen to death in It stated that four men who went for the purpose of interring the body, concluded to hold a sort of itapromptu inquest, and upon exami. nation found upon the peison of the de. ceased one hundred is . the late storm. j doliars in cash.— The four worthies immediately adminupen the estate—divided the money equally amongst the party——bu‘ied the defunct, and returned to camp, istered . 1 . } . } supposing that they had madea good jday’s job. The Coroner is about to . look into the business. Excitement.—Our readers are aware that an intense religious excitement is pervading the States. Religious Eastern An attempt to create the same effect here has not proven altogether unsuccessful, Prayer meetings of a . popular order are being held in San Francisco and Sacramento, which are said to be numerously attended, not only by professed christians but outsiders. Congressional Election Postponed.—In the usual order of things another Congressional election would have come off this fall. A bill has passed the two . houses of the Legislature postponing the election one year. It will probably receive the Governor’s signature and become a law, A more necessary act would be one to district the State. Evratum— Correction —In giving an . account last week of the tragedy at Allison’s Ranch, in which one Porter lost his life, we gave the name of the principalof the other sideas Dan Colin. It was Michael Collins should be substituted. an error. Colored Migration.—The cvlored poping on the 14th instant, to consider what course to pursue in case the negro act . ulation of San Francisco held a meet. } . beeamea law. A portion of them is for emigrating to Sonora; another to Vanconver’s Island. The Gleaner states that 10 Israelite has yet been ecnvicted of the crime of murder in this State. Manslaughter is best crime ef which any has been tound guilty. the hig A new gold fever broke outin San Francisco on the 15th inst., and seemed likely to earry eff a good many victims, in the direction of Puget’s Sound and Avizona. Pass around the Inquiry —If this noNew El Porado.—The people about Puget Sound in Washington Territorry are somewhat excited now-a-days with the prospect of sudden importance from the recent discoveries on Thompson’s and Frazer’s riversin the British Possions. Large quantities of gold have been found in that region such as to lead to the belief that an extensive auriferovg country exists almost wholly unexplored on the nortbern border of our Pacific territory So firm is the belief of the existence of hidden wealth in that Territory of Washington that a general stampede has ensued, all kinds of laborers leaving for the mines as fast as they can. Large numbers are leaving Port Townsend daily for the diggings, which are a hundred and fifty miles dista:t. The mines can nearly be reached by water. in canoes and boats. ‘The fever of Oregon aud Washington Territories has exrended down the coastand carried off several from San Francisco. Some of the Bay papers point to the Gold Bluff expeditions, and counsel caution. A Great Project —Yhe project is now seriously considered in both countries of connecting France and England by a sub-marine railroad. The distance is twenty-two miles, and itis proposed to have built a triple archway in stone, for three railroad tracks under water, commencing the construction at both ends, and meeting inthe middle. An island is to be constructed in the centre where the water is the shallowest. Vetorp.—Goyv. Weller, onthe 20th inst., vetoed the gambling act. In message he recounts the defects of the act, says it is impotent for good and his pregnant with evil, and that he prefe.s that the few disgraceful scenes which are enacted under the old law shuuld be kept up for another year than that the new act should become alaw. The veto was sustained. Sale of Flowers.—A large sale of flowers from the Golden Gate Nursery, San Francisco, took place yesterday, in Judge Caswell’s building, Broad street The prices rsuged from a few bits to ten and twelve dollars, each. <A part of the stock sold well. The bidding for most plauts was lively. Assay Office-— Miners wanting to know exact'y what their gold is worth had better have it assaved at the office of F, Schotte, nearly opposite the Journal establishment. Alapacas.—A correspondence has been carried on fur sometime between James Langley, of this city, and ex-Governor Bigler, our Minister at Chili, in relation to the importation of Alapacas, Vicuetc. Mr. Langley expects that the next steamer will bring him a bill of lading for the first shipment.— Eve. Visitor. nas, Need'nt Fear.—The State Journal indulges in the following lucubrations.— The “cause” is occurring which will draw off all the Democrats the party is able to spare : “In truth and in fact, the Democratic party is too strongin numbers. If some eause shoutd occur which would draw off all those who are Democrats—professedly—because ours is the party in power, it would be a blessing.” : te Royal 'T. Sprague, of Shasta, has announced himselfas a candidate tor the Supreme Judgeship, subject to the nomination of the Demoeratic party this fall. Cowhided —A. W. Russel, proprietor of the Sonoma Democrat, was cowhided a few days since by one Boggs in Santa Rosa. Russel was formerly from this place, anda candidate for Supervisor on the Republican ticket two years since. Sacramento Daily Mercwry.--Since the enlargement of this paper, it presents the appearance at first sight of the Union. Reading it the deception is palpable. Left.—Mrs. Cora Annna Weekes, and her husband, touk leave of the few subseribers to the Atheneum, onthe 14th, and sailed for Australia, taking the money they collected for the paper iu advance with them. Mrs. Weekes made a fine decoy duck here. Doubtless she will make an excellent Sidney duck there. Rev. J. A. Bonner of Marysville, will preach at the M. E. Church on next Sabbath morning and evening. Farors—Jemes E. Hanlin, of the Broad street Book Store has our thanks fo. Harper’s magazine and other Atlantic publications, which we forgot to notice last week.

Sullivaa.—We are indebted to ee this frieud of the press and enterprising uews agent for a choice budget of newspapers by the last steamer. The Mercury.—W.S. Long announces himself sole editor of the Sacramento Mercury since its enlargement. A Witp Prosect.—California is noted for producing the wildest of schemes. A few years ago, a school of log-rollers infested the Legislature with a project of bridging the Bay of San Francisco, seven miles across. The bridge was to serve as a wagon road, railroad track, an aqueduet to convey wholesome water from Contra Costa to San Francisco, and the thing was also to be constructed so as to have a row of mills to be moved by tide power, &e. This grand enterprize was commended as promising to be one of the most lucrative of any of the age. A Dill was introduced to grant the right of way, and exclusive privileges to a company, the names of whose members appeared in the bill. Luckily the thing was killed. But the most imposing project that has ever been brought to the notice of the people of the State, is that of turning the waters of the Klamath into the Sacramento. The object of this proposed work is to furnish more water and better navigation tothe Sacramento and to relieve the miners on the Klamath of too much water they are troubled with at most seasons of the year. eration of the great benefits to accrue te the navigation of one stream, the comIn considpany that is to undertake the work, is to have the right to impose a toll upon all boats passing up and down; and iu consideration of »emoving the water fiom the other river the miners along its banks are to pay nice little tax annually. A bill to procure exclusive privileges for the company has been killed in the legislature of a thousand reconsiderations, but a few days since. Eavestrian THEATER.—Mitchell’s Equestrian company performed Wednesday and last nights, in their pavillion at the rearof Harrington & Pat‘erson’s. About a thousand persons were estimated to be in attendance on the first night, when the entertainment cpened with the popular farce of Family Jars," and closing with “Putnam, or the Iren Son of ’76."” “Jibbenainosay, or Nick o the Woods” and “Putnam” were enacted last evening. The parts taken by Mrs. Woodward, Miss Sophie Edwin, Warwick, Leman, Mitchell, and Peoples, were well done. It the The Equestrian Theater is unique. is a theater under canvass, with stage so arranged that horses can be introduced. The company das several ene aD ee ne a aac theatrical stars of the equine species. We understand the company has been remarkably successful, playing almost always to full tents, and to the satisfaction of the audiences. The Equestiian Theater will perform to-night and to-morrow night at Grass Valley. TueaterR.—Mad'lle Duret and the Graves Troupe occupied the boards at Frisbie’s Theater, on Monday and Tuesday evenings in the presence of fair houses. Their first appearance was in “Green Bushes, or the Huntress of the Mad’le Duret sustained the principal character well. Miss Graves has improved greatly since her Mississippi.” former visit, and is altogether a very passable actress. Tuesday evening Camille was enacted. he first and second acts dragged considerably. The fault was not however in Mad'lle Duret, who personated Camille excellently well, particularly in the two last acts. Well supported, we have no doubt, Mad’lle Duret can play the parts in which she chooses to appear equal to almost any actress who has visited this city. On Wednesday and Thursday evenings the company appeared at Grass Valley. e Of all the members of the Assembly from this county, Young alone voted for the stealing bill of $50,000 to pay the law and order ragamuffins. The names of the whole batch who lent themselves to this scheme to plunder the treasury will be remembered—You bet. Temperance Lecrures.—A Mrs.

Ella C. Smith read a really good temperance lecture at the Methodist Church on Saturday evening last. The fair lecturess is a fine reader withal. On Monday evening A. A. Sargent, Esq., held forth at the same place on the same subject, to a fine house. As usual, his lecture was worth listening to. Suppen Dearu.—A teamster named J. F. Brainerd, stopped at the house of Ross, in the lower part of the courty on Tuesday evening of last week. He was taken suddenly sick in the night and died on Saturday following. Suspicions being afloat concerning the event, Coroner Bazely held a post mortem examination on the body on Tuesday last. ‘The deceased came to his death by an enlargement of the heart. Rospery.—The Yankee Blade Hotel was robbed a few nights since of some 50 or 60 dollars. The thief entered during the nighgand visited all of the rooms, but only sueceeded iu obtaining the above amount from a teamster by the name of Webster. AnoTHER.—A bold thief entered a residence on Commercial street, a few mornings since, and stole a number of small coins of guld from a purse belonging to a lady. {= The San Francisco Daily Globe publishes an issue on Sunday morning so entirely different from the paper on the other days of the week as to merit . notice. Instead of miserable attempts at bolstering up Lecompton and the President the Sunday paper is filled with literary articles from the most accomplished pens in the State. The Glode of last Sunday has a fire lengthy poem from the muse of Edward Pollock, the most gifted of California’s bards; also a poem on labor, by Frank Soule. Besides. J. Ross Browne contributes “a_ talk with the Oregon Indians,” and many other worthy productions make up the paper. We commend the Sunday Globe. It is superior, thus far to any literary paper we have struck in this country. Not Mealy Mouthe1.—Broderick in his efforts thus far in the U. S. Senate, has not gore out of his way to choose his words, preferring rather to use that language which does not go on all sides of his meaning but never hit it. In passage at arms with Senator Bigler there were several geutleman af the Lehis compton side who took it upon them to move about and cough when he took the fluor. Broderick is reported to have turned to Mr. Siidell, one of them, and said : “Senators have a habit of coughing and sneezing when some gentlemen rise to addrese the Senate. Jt ts a vulgar trick, which is insulting, and which no me ” gentleman wil be guilty of ! He uttered this Jast sentence with an an emphasis that will not soon be forgotten. The coughing ceased. There's Nothing in it-—The Butte Record savs the Post Master at Grass Valley, who got married a few days since, wiil lose his head, having gone in direct opposition to the known sentiments of the Administration question.

The goose is fully as patriotic; a flock . of geese saved Rome by ther cackling, aad some of their descendarts, 1 should say, occasionally try it in the molern . Athens. I once knew a couple of tiese interesting birds, who for many years presented a model spectacle of conuubial bliss; they were lovely and pleasant during their lives, aud at their death they were scarcely to be divided—as I knew to my cost, having smashed a carving knifein the attempt. Shakespeare makes honorable mention of the goose ; he makes Macbeth say to one of his triends : The devil damn the black, thou cream-faced loon, Where gottest thou that goose? The goose is indissolubly connected with all our reminiscences of childhood.

Conviction of Metz.--The trial of Peter Metz was brought to a close about 7 o'clock last evening by the jury rendering a verdict of “guilty of murder in the second degree.”” The verdict was arrived at doubtless upon the charge of the Judge, who held that to constitute murder it must be proven that he eutertained malice.

The palaces and masquerades of San Fiancisco, are to be thrown entirely in the shade by the Dan Rice-like ente: prise and Mr. . Merryman attainments, of th industrious Dr. Gwin. The announcement accompanying his cards, was a timely and delicate hint for those who have “Nothing to wear,” to remain absent. In this, exhibits exquisite statesmanship. . It prevents the celebrated “Dr. Coll ‘yer’ from instituting a suit against California’s distinguished Senator, fur an invasion of his patent right. We would suggest that the industrious Doctor should appear with a licephalous top-gear, emblazoned in front with the coat of arms of Mississippi, and that of Texas on the rear, surmounted by a figure of Neptune sitting up to a Meri maid in “Faney Dress”’—a tight fitting hodice, spangled with geld scales (supposed to be) fished from wrecked steamers—his bifureated extremities encased _in crinoline, underneath and slightly vis\itle in front, a railroad engive, while opposite and under the rear of the criniolire, shall appear one of the walking 1 beams and rudders of the Pacific Mail S.
