The Bulletin correspondent of the 6th of Octobe: in criticising the different Photographic Pictures at the last State Fafr says: ‘(On the opposite wall hang the contributions of J. Shew of San Francisco. These alsoare most cred itable specimens of the photographic art. Among them is a life-size head and bust of Senator Broderick— probably the most perfect which has been made of the late Senator. Side by side with these, hang a series of most wretched libels on the art contributed by some one in Nevada. They serve, however, to set off to better advantuge, the productions of more skillful competitors. As that paper don’t give the name of the artist who that A. street, it must be known ist of Broad send such pictures, LIEBERT, the Photographie Art published in the papers of Nevada, that he was the only one in this city who sent pictures to the State Fair. pag‘ A CHACUN SES GUVRES.’’“@% have (re hisown Work.

The «Golden Circle” in California, General McDougall, iu bis late speech at Sacramento, said: The Democratic Senator from Oregon, . Mr. Nesmith, was ia the city of San Fran, cisco. and visited your city a short time . since. He was waited upon by a commit. tee en two several occasions, aud they iaformed him that a plan for a Repablic on . the Pacific bad been digested and matured, . that its organization was complete, aud ‘that it commanded the voices of a large . body ef our fellow citizens. The plaa was ‘laid out in detail before that gentleman, It was for a Republic to extend trom Texas ' and including that State, and then passing . . westward, including Chibuabua, Tamauli. pas, Sonora, California and Oregor. He ; was informed that, while the organization . was complete and being carried on here, the Knights of the Golden Circle were a . powerful organization in Texas and Arizo. na, that the moment that secession was effected at the South, they were prepared to . ; march on the States of Mexico to be ac-. quired or conquered, and then offer to Califoroia a joint partnership with those adjoining States in a new Republic. . This scheme is ripe and strong cnough for Californians to consider its magnitude, and enquire who may, perchauce, be allied . to it. What is there tempting for us in this scheme? It is said that we will have . free trade and an independent Republic. 1 say there is nothing, in it for us but destraction, In the first place, [ may affirm . one simple propositien; California would . be owned by Texas and the Knights of the Golden Circle. Wearea people few in number, scattered over a vast territory. . We have 120,000 citizens in California, . and not atesth pumber, I thiok. in Oregou. And yet, as that document suggests, we havea territory larger tban that of . France, richer than any like country in the . world. Qur allies would have a tempting . conntry wherein to employ their diplomacy . and to establish their policy; aud where, . where, I ask, would we in California have . . the power to resist? A A Ar tn TE kd ON ~The Silver Age . published at Carson City, says that four. fifths of the Gentile population of that see. . tion are opposed to being annexed to Cali. fornia, and adds : The reason for this is apparent. We de-. sire a division of the Territory, because we . have no present inflaence in the Utah Legislature, and because their interests and pursuits are materially different from ours . —calling for a species of Jegislation not adapted to our necessities. California legis. . lation would suit us better at this time, as better adapted to our peculiar wants; but as California’s agricultural interests in. crease, and her mining interests relatively . diminish, her system of legislation would . yearly become less and less suited to ue, . While our mineral resources are rapidly be. ing developed, they will speedily become . recognized as the paramount interest of the . . Territory, and command the attention, for . the want of which they now languish ; and . again, our numerical strength, as compared with the Mormons, is much greater than it . would be as compared with California. . Two years will undoubtedly enable us to outvote the Mormons, In California, we would only occupy the position of a respectable county, entitled to ten or twelve members, perhaps fifteen, with our pro ratain the Senate, Tue New Crive Movement.-“Union Clubs’? are now in the course of rapid formation in this city, intended to overawe secessionary principles and counteract the movements ofan offshoot of that party which, baving been defeated at the last . electivn, is now conspiring to equip a force . for the seizure of the governmeut works at . Benicia and around the Bay of San Fran. . cisco, to prevent the Lincolnites from taking office. In one ward, there is a club of three hundred youngand ardent spirits, panting to testify their devotion to the} Union. Webelieve the plan will be simi_ larly popular throughout the State.—[Mir. ror. <umenecangemasaiigiapinaiaisitaiatiitaaiiaas Mereor.—The Coloma Times of the inst., says: On last Wednesday evening about 9 o’. clock. we saw the most beautiful, meteor we ever bebeld. Its course was from north, West to south-east. The tail of fire appen. ded to it, was almost as long as that of the . comet seen in 1858, It illuminated everything around. It occupied more than half a& minute daring its passage, and ended in astream of fire. Who knows bunt it was tome planet in the starry firmament being blotted out of existence?

Sho sends abroad at once one of ber most distinguished citizens, charged with an important mission, The Commissioner will have under bis authority the qitestion of the recognition by foreign powers Of the seceding States as Governments defacto. He will also be charged with the duty of negotiating a basis of credit and exchange, by which the cotton erop can be hypothecated im Kurope, and moved for jomt account. But the most important duty of the Commissioncr will be in regard to the . question of revenue. If the Government shall make arrangements to collect the revenue off Southern seaports, it is arranged that the cotton States will pronounce for free trade and direct taxation. They will proceed to raise the revenue for the South by direct taxation, giving notice to foreign Governments that Southera ports are open to the Importation of their merchandise free of duty, and that the imposition of duties by the United States Government is unlawful and unauthorized. The question would therefore, become a foreign one, and EngWill be left to decide between a Northeran alliance and f, “ with the South, ves The Commissioner frem Georgia will be the concurrent re of the other cotton States, This jentoans mission will devolve a policy whieh may bo so directed as to avoid any conflict between the Government and seceding States in the matter of collecting the revenue, It seems to be the policy of the commercial party at the South to prevent, if possible any conflict with the Federal authorities, Iree trade and direct taxation will be adopted by the seceding States the moment the Government takes steps to collect the reverue on the high seas by blockading Southern ports, This policy, which originates with C. G. Raylor, the representative man of the cotton interest, will have an important hearing upon our foreign and domestic relations, It will throw upon England, France, and other foreign powers the bonus of resisting the imposition of duties upon Importations into the ports of seceding States, The recognition of such States as Governments de facto being thus supported by ine self-interest of Kuropean nations aoe Ereaily to the chances of the South I am not at liberty to disclose the name of the Commissioner appointed by Georgia. Ue is, however, a citizen of that State a man of distinction, of natienal reputation and well-kaown in New York. He will ar. rive here in a few days, and possibly the foreign Ministers will be sounded as to their views. In any case, the Georgia Commisfloner proceeds direct to Europe, backed by the cotton power, Prerre Souie on tur SecepERs,—The following opinion of the sagacity and etatesmanship of the men who are now endeavoring to divide the Union, was contained in a letter written by Mr. Soule a short time since ; If this Government is to be overthrown and the South is to organize itself into a separate confederacy, it were hardly an act of discretion, on our part, to commit the trust of erecting the latter to the very men who, With all the Federal power at their bidding, with the purse and sword in their . hands to sustain themselves, have, in Jess than four years, not only destroyed the most powerful party that was ever organized ia any government, but subverted that noble structure, of which John C, Calhoun has said that it exceeded, in sablimity, any work that has ever emanated from the mind of man! These are, howaver, the men who how urge the expediency of separate State action, ou the part of the States, aod who openly advocate the policy of precipitatin« and without seekin concert with other States j j f esin the ‘ revolution. gorge nee a WILD Pickons.—The Times says that the hills around Coloma have been alive the last weck with wild pigeons, and the sporting gentlemen of that vicinity have been reaping arich barvest. The editor tried his lack. Hear him: Bang—bang! went both barrels at the same time-—off went our hat, we turned ar elegant sommersanit and landed beautifully in a thicket of chapparel ; oar splendid gun foated finely about two rods through the air, then came in contact with a granite boulder and stack fast. When the smoke of battle cleared away, we cast a longing glunce at the birds. We saw none dead on the field of action. but think they were badly’seared. We picked up oar hat and gun . 40d returned to town, fally satisfied with our morning’s sport.
