Four Rervusiics.—Mr. Vallandigham, member of Congress from Ohio, has introduced a proposition providing for a peaceable dissolution of the Union, and the division of the country into four republics— the New England and Middle States to constitute one, the Northwestern States anothcr, the Southern States another, and the Pacific States another. This proposition, if submitted to the people, might be acceptible to a large portion of those living in the Eastern and Southern States, but it would be rejected almost unanimously by the section which Mr. Vallandigham in part represents, The Western States now contain nearly one-third of the population of the Union, and they will never consent to be hemmed up in the interior, thus giving a foreign nation the power to levy taxes upon her commerce. They will have a free outlet for their products to the ocean, either by the Jakes and railroads to the eastern ports, or else by the mouth of the Missisvippi. The idea of dividing the Union into four or five Confederacies was put forth some mouths ago, by the Cleveland Plaindealer, as & burlesque, and the more one reflects on the subject, the more absurd the proposition appears. ene seen a a —_—— Morper at San Anpreas.—A dispatch from San Andreas, dated Sunday, says that the dead body of Geo. Mellus, a miner, was found about ten o’clock Satarday night, at the lower end of China street. He had been stabbed In the back, The wound was about three inches in length, and inflicted with a two-edged instrament. The act is supposed to have been committed by a Obinaman, A strong feeling exists against the Chinese, and they were notified to produce the murderer in five days or leave the town, Wiuo Have Gove ?—By the census of 1860 we find that six States that have passed secession ordinances—South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana—have of total population 4,453,368, of which 2,287,647 are whites, and 2,165,721 are slaves and free blacks. Should Texas join these States and form a Cotton Confederacy, the nation would contain a popuJation of about five millions, of which nearly one-half would be slaves. Consistency.—Don Patlo de la Guerra gave as a reason for leaving the Dewooratic caucus, that he did not wish to act with any party baving Republican affinities, This same Don owes his present position as President of the Senate toa fusion of the Republican and Breckinridge Senators with two or three Douglas Senators, showing that he has no objection to forming affinities that will result in his advancement, A pispatcn in this morning’s Appeal, from San Francisco, states that Col. Fremont bas written to bis wife, stating that Fort Sumter had been reinforced by 280 men and provisions, from the steamer Brooklyn; that boats with muflled oars were two nights engaged in the service. Tux Hesrernian.—We have received the March nomber of this magazine, which commences the sixth volume, It is illustrated with a charming steel-plate engraving, entitled “The Mother’s Defense,’ fashion plates, patterns, eto, We have not yet bad time to examine its pages of reading matter. Tennessue.—The last Pony brings the gratifying intelligence that the disunionists have been defeated in Tennessee. Andrew Johnson, the bold and patriotic Senator from that State, bas been sustained. SranBING “ArPaIn—A German named Geo. Maho was stabbed by a negro named Mellifray, at Tebama, last Saturday evening, inflicting, it is thought, a fatal wound, The negro was arrested, Pastorat.—Archbisbop Alemany has issued a Pastoral to the Catholics of California, on the present condition of the country. Lixcoty on Coxrcion.—A dispatch received by the last Pony, states that Lincoln had left Springfield for Washington, At Indianopolis, he hada reception and made aspeech. He is reported to have advocated the proposition that to march an army into South Carolina would be invasion ; but that to hold and recover the forts and other property of the Federal Government, would not becoercion. Thisdeclaration is of eonsiderable interest, as it is an indication that the power of the Federal Government will be used to recover the forts that bave been seized by the secessionists, If Forts Sumter and Pickens still remain in possession of the U.S. troops, after Lincoln is inangurated, there is no doubt that a determined effort will be made to reinforce them; and this belief on the part of the secessionists, may induce them to attack the forts either before or immediately after the inauguration. Fort Pickens, in Pensacola harbor, can be reinforced without difficulty ; but in consequence of obstructions in Charleston harbor, and the fortifications erected by the State, it is believed that many difficulties will be met with in sending troops and supplies to Fort Sumter, Mount Drapto Coat Mixes.—The coal mines lately discovered near Mount Diablo are exciting considerable interest in San Francisco, the coal being of such a quality as to induce capitalists to endeavor to get control of the mines. The Contra Costa Gazette says thata specimen has been taken from the San Pablo raoch, of excellent quality, resembling the genuine Cumberland, but the lead bas been prospected only a short distance. The Bay papers es. timate that the discovery of these mines will save $5,000 a week to the maoufacturing interest in that city, as the coal can be delivered there at six dollars a ton, while the cost heretofore has been from eighteen to twenty-three dollars a ton. Saba Tue Cororapo Mixes.—A dispatch from . Los Angeles, of February 23d, says: From a gentleman who arrived from the Colorado this week we have information of the great success of mining operations in that section. Immense quantities of silver ore have been taken out, and machinery is now being erected. A great many miners are crowding in, and the country is represented as being alive with prospectors. The Indians are perfectly peaceable and friendly. Measures have been taken to construct a wagon road between Los Angeles and the Coso mining districts—it being the shortest and least expensive route from San Franciseo and the North. In consequence of the heavy snow at Coso, mining operations are temporarily syspended. Tus Menpoctno Ow Sprines.-Mr. J. W. Clawson, the expressman between Healdsburg and Fort Bragg, Mendocino, informs the Review that he has visited the locality of the coal oil springs. They are near the Matole val. ley, Humboldt county, and within eight miles of a good harbor. The oil, tar, or asphaltum, oozes from hill-sides and settles in cavities at the base, forming puddles; it readily ignites and barns when fire is applied, as resinous substances would. A field of coal is supposed to be in that vicinity. It was first discovered by the late Capt. Ford, and afterwards examined by Doctor Coreal and Lieut. Dillon, of the U. S. Army, who were to give it a thorough test. Crime ix Yusa,—The Grand Jury of Yu ba county, lately in session, say, in their final report: We have found sixteen indictments; one for murder in the second degree; two for grand larceny; two for petit larceny; one for misdemeanor with deadly weapons; and ten for gaming. Although crime appears to be too frequently committed, there is an evident improvement during the last year or two. Indictments are not near so numerous as they were twelve or eighteen months since. Tue CaprrraL Question AGAIN.—The Sacramento correspondent of the S. F. Times says that two bills are in preparation for the permanent location of the Capital. “One of the bills referred to proposes to establish the Capital at San Francisco upon the condition that she pay the State $350,000, in order to indemnify her for expenditure already incurred, and which may be necessary to buy off contractors. Another bill names Oakland as the preferred place.” Bricxs.—The San Francisco Cail says: The census developes the fact that in this city 10,600,000 bricks are made annually; in burning them, 5,050 cords of wood are used; 80 men are employed in the manufacture of the article, and . they receive about $53,400 per annum; the bricks made in a year are worth $102,000; and the capital invested in the business is $12,000. Waars in SAN Francisco.—According to in San Francisco is $2 with board, or $2 50 without board; of carpenters, #4 a day without board; of female domestics, $7 50 to $8 a week, with board, By the same authority, the average price of board for laboring men is $5 per the census, the wae vane of day laborers He exhorts them to abstain from taking . week. auy part io the present disuaton troubles.

The Pony Express, with dates from St. Louis to February 12th, arrived at Fort Churchill yesterday morning. The following summary of intelligence is made up from the dispatch to the Associated press: The President has communicated to Congress the correspondence between the South Carolina officials and the Federal Governjmeot, in which tbe latter adheres to the position already indicated, and says that if hostilities are commenced, South Carolina alone will be responsible. The idea of negotiating for a transfer of government property cannot be entertained. The Montgomery Convention has elected Jeff. Davis President of the Soathern Confederacy, and Alexander H. Stephens Vice President. Davis telegraphed to Col. Hayne urging bim not to precipitate matters relative to Fort Sumter, What action South Carolina may take has not transpired. The impression is that she will turn over matters to the new Southern government, though seusation correspondents predict that an attack wiJl be made on Fort Sumter. A. H. Stephens made a speech at Montgomery, congratulating the people upon the establishment of the confederacy. Congress has dove nothing yet tending to a settlement of the existing difficulties, The Peace Congress at Washington is in session with closed doors. More delegates are constantly arriving. : The twenty-five million loan bill bas been approved by the President. Bankers at the North manifest a disposition not to take the loan unless the national difficulties are settled. The Pennsylvania State Legislature will guarantee a portion of the new Government loan, The Naval appropriation bill has passed the House, The Governor of Georgia had seized several New York vessels at Savanah, in retaliation of the seizure of arms in the city of New York, He subsequently released them on being informed of the restoration of the arms, Returns of the Tennessee election indicate the triumphant success of the Union party for the convention of that State. The Texas Convention bas declared in favor of the Southern confederacy. Five war vessels are reported off Pensacola. . . Union Resoivtions.—The following resolutions were unanimously adopted at the great Union meetiog held in San Francisco on the 22d: 1. That we do hereby declare our unalter#ble attachment to the Federal Union of the United States; that we regard its continuance and the maintenance or Our common government as the primary object of patriotic desire, as the main pillar in the edifice of our real independence, the support of our tranquility at home, and the guaranty of peace as well as of our national and individual respectability and security to Feb. Ist, is now over due, but had not . arrived at noon to-day. j act t”* abroad. 2. That by the adoption of the Constitution of the United States, a government was created and established of the whole people of the United States; that the Constitution and laws made in pursuance thereof, are the supreme law of the land; that under the Constitution, and in conformity with it, there exists no right or power on the part of the government of a State of the Union, to secede from, or in any manner to obstruct the operation of the General Government, under any circumstances whatever. 3. That the people of California, regarding the preservation of the Union of all the States eomposing our common country, and the maintenance of domestic peace, as objects of the first political importance, will cheerfully acquiesce in any honorable plan for the adjustment of existing differences, the security of the right of all the States, and the establishment of Constitutional order, where it has been disturbed or wholly interrupted, 4. If, however, against our hopes and prayers, one or more States should secede from the Union, effecting their final separation, the State of California should and would nevertheless cling to the Union with the States which adhere and in that event, or in the happy event of restored peace and amity, she will, in all good faith and loyalty, recognize and discharge every obligation enjoined upon her by the Constitution of our common country; that California entirely repudiates the project of a Pacific Reublic, as visionary, mischievous and impossile; that wherever the Union and the Constitution are, there is the ark of our covenant— where the flag of our Union is unfurled, there 4s our country. 5. That the true attitude of the people of California at this time of trouble is that of fraternal kindness towards the people of all the States and her honor and interest alike demand of her to do allin her power to bring about harmony and reunion among the people of the whole country. Tue Garrison at Fort Scmrer.—A dispatch from New York, dated February 6th, says: The steamer Marion, from Charleston, arrived yeryn Among the passengers are twenty wives of soldiers of Fort Sumter, and seventeen children. They represent the garrison at Sumter as in excellent health. The strongest Union feeling pervaded the company, and they looked forward to an attaek with confidence in their strength and ey to repel anassault. There are seventy-five soldiers and thirty laborers, all of whom are now busy im mounting heavy Co. lumbiads on the ramparts and in the fortressa The majority of the soldiers are of foreign . irth, about half of them being Irish, anda . large number Germans. The garrison is now . supplied daily with fresh meats and provisions of all kinds from Charleston—although only enough is brought in for each day’s use. The supply of salted meats and camp rations is ample, enough for a long seige. No reinforcements had been received when the Marion left, and from Capt. Adams’ stetement it would appear that great difficulties would be met in Sa. the harbor at Qharleston with reinforcements or supplies. $n Ene ne ee THE COURTS. District Court-—Hon.

Union Resoivtions.—The following resolutions were unanimously adopted at the great Union meetiog held in San Francisco on the 22d: 1. That we do hereby declare our unalter#ble attachment to the Federal Union of the United States; that we regard its continuance and the maintenance or Our common government as the primary object of patriotic desire, as the main pillar in the edifice of our real independence, the support of our tranquility at home, and the guaranty of peace as well as of our national and individual respectability and security to Feb. Ist, is now over due, but had not . arrived at noon to-day. j act t”* abroad. 2. That by the adoption of the Constitution of the United States, a government was created and established of the whole people of the United States; that the Constitution and laws made in pursuance thereof, are the supreme law of the land; that under the Constitution, and in conformity with it, there exists no right or power on the part of the government of a State of the Union, to secede from, or in any manner to obstruct the operation of the General Government, under any circumstances whatever. 3. That the people of California, regarding the preservation of the Union of all the States eomposing our common country, and the maintenance of domestic peace, as objects of the first political importance, will cheerfully acquiesce in any honorable plan for the adjustment of existing differences, the security of the right of all the States, and the establishment of Constitutional order, where it has been disturbed or wholly interrupted, 4. If, however, against our hopes and prayers, one or more States should secede from the Union, effecting their final separation, the State of California should and would nevertheless cling to the Union with the States which adhere and in that event, or in the happy event of restored peace and amity, she will, in all good faith and loyalty, recognize and discharge every

obligation enjoined upon her by the Constitution of our common country; that California entirely repudiates the project of a Pacific Reublic, as visionary, mischievous and impossile; that wherever the Union and the Constitution are, there is the ark of our covenant— where the flag of our Union is unfurled, there 4s our country. 5. That the true attitude of the people of California at this time of trouble is that of fraternal kindness towards the people of all the States and her honor and interest alike demand of her to do allin her power to bring about harmony and reunion among the people of the whole country. Tue Garrison at Fort Scmrer.—A dispatch from New York, dated February 6th, says: The steamer Marion, from Charleston, arrived yeryn Among the passengers are twenty wives of soldiers of Fort Sumter, and seventeen children. They represent the garrison at Sumter as in excellent health. The strongest Union feeling pervaded the company, and they looked forward to an attaek with confidence in their strength and ey to repel anassault. There are seventy-five soldiers and thirty laborers, all of whom are now busy im mounting heavy Co. lumbiads on the ramparts and in the fortressa The majority of the soldiers are of foreign . irth, about half of them being Irish, anda . large number Germans. The garrison is now . supplied daily with fresh meats and provisions of all kinds from Charleston—although only enough is brought in for each day’s use. The supply of salted meats and camp rations is ample, enough for a long seige. No reinforcements had been received when the Marion left, and from Capt. Adams’ stetement it would appear that great difficulties would be met in Sa. the harbor at Qharleston with reinforcements or supplies. $n Ene ne ee THE COURTS. District Court-—Hon.
