Of the . tion. two classes of agitators, the abolitionists have the clearest heads. Rain at Downtkvi.ie.—According to a table kept by Dr. T. R, Kibbe, of DowniePoruLation AnD Waatta.—The assessed . yj}\e, the quantity of rain which fell during valuation of the real and personal property . the months of November and December, of the State, for 1860, was $148,193,540 02. . 1859, and January, 1860, was 31.70 inches.

Staoly, and Jobn Currey, and the following resolutions unanimously adopted: Resolved, 1. That the Government of the United States was formed to be perpetual, and cannot be dissolved except by revolution. 2. That the Constitution of the United States confers on the General Government sufficient power to maintain the integrity of the Union, and enforce the laws of Congress. 3. That secession is but another name for treason against the Government. 4, That, as citizens of California, we will aid the general government with our entire strength in maintaining the integrity of the Union, and enforcing the Res of Congress. 5. That to apologize for the present secession . movement is to aid and abet treason. 6. That the scheme of a Pacifie Republic is but a cloak for secession and treason, and its advocates are enemies to the true interes of California. 7. That we fully approve the resolute and patriotic conduct of Major Anderson, and the determination of the President to sustain him and enforce the laws. 8. That in thus giving expression to our unalterable attachment to the Sodatal Union, we are actuated only by a solemn sense of duty which we owe to a Union purchased by the blocd of our fathers, and which has advanced the nation with unexampled speed in the career of prosperity and glory. The meeting then adjourned with nine tremeudous cheers for the Union. A Curtovs $60,000 OprRaTION.—It seems Secretary Thomas, of the Treasury, left office rather suspiciously. A dispatch from Washington, dated January 14, says: ‘Thomas, before he left, ordered to be paid $60,000, said to be due the Constitution newspaper, for printing, which paper, it is added, in consideration, went over to secession against Buchanan,—the $60,000 being the consideration. Ex-Gov. Medill, Comptroller of the Treasury, refused my od the draft upon the ground that the bill was ‘bous. Mr. Clayton, of Ga.,to be removed toay ag a secessionist, (one of Mr. Cobb’s men,) called upon Mr. Medill, in his character of Assistant at the Treasury, demanded to know why Medi!l would not pay a draft signed by the Secretary of the Treasury. Mr, Medill replied, in his judgment, the whole concern was a fraud, and he would not pay; unless ordered by the new Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Dix. Mr, Clayton blustered, but Medill won’t pay.” Fu. Sweer.—A dispatch from Washington, Jan. 4th, to the New York Express, furnishes the following:—The Southern seceding Senators do not intend any resistance here to Army and Navy bills, etc., as the Republicans have been saying. Mr. Toombs, of Georgia, has already gone home. Both Jefferson Davis and Gov. Brown, of Miss., will go home. The Senators from Alabama leave Tuesday; also, the Floridians, This ‘secession’ leaves the Senate in Republican bands, and the House, too, The intention isto give the Republicans full sweep, full responsibility. The South now expects nothing beyond the arbitrament of arms. Tue Op Vereran,—A Wasbiagton correspondent says: ‘Lieut, General Scott looks with a soldier’s anxious eye upon the defenceless condition of Washington City, and asks for 6,000 militia men to protect and defend the District of Colombia against all threats, and all attempts to take possession of the Federal Capital, in order to prevent the inauguratioa of the President elect. The request of the old veteran stirs up a comotion, but the conquorer of Mexico shrinks not from duty. The closing acts of his life are the most painful and heroic of all; but he is acting for duty without fear or favor, and yet with a heavy heart. Brvrat Assavir.—The Grass Valley National says: Mr. Poland’s residence, in Boston Ravine, was entered on Thursday night last, by a villain, who assaalted Mr, P. with a bottle while the latter was in bed, and inflicted a wound on his forehead, which exposed the bone at least one inch aoda half, The raffian then absconded. Arnab Horses.—Rarey, the great horse tamer, in a lecture before a New York audience said that he bad been all through Arabia, and he desired to correct a false impression concerning the Arabian horses, To bis mind the English blood horses are two hundred years ahead of them, and are intinitely preferable in a variety of ways. War Risks.—It is said that a gentleman of San Francisco, formerly a citizen of Lou. isiana, hasdetermined to send ro more treasure to the East until he is notified that the policy of insuranee will also cover the war . _ . risk, Breakine Jart.—Five prisoners broke jail at Mokelumne Hill, on Wednesday night, Insane Asytum.—Dr. W, P.

Turspay, Feb. 12, Wallace vs. ington—for foreclosure of mechanic’s liens.—Cause tried and submitted, and taken under advisement by the Court. Adjourned until Monday next. Fata, Arrray at ToMALES.—The Petaluma Argus says that a free fight occurred at Tomales, on Sunday of last week, in which Burt Stoddard was cut in two places, once on the shoulder and once in the left side between the hip and ribs, which is pronounced fatal. He was also severely bruised in several places. Irwin received two severe cuts, and several bruises; but will recover. A man named Murphy was struck on the back of the head with a club, and serigusly injured. A large number received black eyes, bites, bruises, &c. _. Trrnevi’s PaNonAMA.—From a paragraph in the Boston Post, we infer that Tirrill’s Panorama of California is creating quite a sensa~tiom m the East. ATT’S NERVOUS ANTIDOTE— For Sale by BE. ¥.
