SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 6, 1861. No Compromise,—The action of the Breckinridge Committee in calling a separate Convention, we presume, will put an end to a!l negotiations fora compromise between the two wings of the party. The Douglas party cannot now unite with them unless they surrender their organization, which of course they will not do. The test cooked up by the Committee—opposition to coercion, and favoring the proposition of the Peace Congress—amounts to nothing. No two men are agreed as to the meaning of the term “coercion,” and every uational man will favor the proposition of the Peace Congress, or any other reasonable propo. sition that will pacify the country. If by “coercion” is meant the marchiog of an army into the seceded States to force them. back into the Union, then we are opposed to “coercjon;” but if resistance to the seizure of vessels and other goverament property is considered “‘coercion,’’ then we are ia favor of “coercion.” Had tbe proposition of the Peace Congress been adopted by Congress, there would be little opposition to its ratification in California; but as it waa not acted on by Congress it is no more . aqzuestion before the country than the amendment proposed by Critteuden, or that offered by Duuglas. Of all the propositions before the late Congress, for pacifying the couatry, we think that submitted by Douglas preferable, and the one most likely to be adopted. Overriows.— We are informed that many farms on the bottom lands of Feather river, ibe Yuba and Dear river, have been ruined by the overflows. It appears that the large quantity of sand carried down from the mouatains and deposited on the land is utterly destructive of the soil; bat the finer sediment which is carried further down, and settles on the low lands and in the sloughs below Sacramento, isan advantage rather thaa aa injary to the land.
