JAN. 19, 1861. ‘SATURDAY EVENING, Expuneina Resorvurions.—Petitions have been circulated and numerously signed, in San Francisco and other places, asking the Legislature to expunge from the journals of the Senate and Assembly, the resolutions censuring Broderick for an alledged refusal to obey instractions, When the resolutions were adopted, nearly two years ago, we etated that they would eventually either be expunged from the journals, or others adopted indicating a change of sentiment in regard to the course of Senator Broderick on the Lecompton question, We have never had a doubt that the people of California would eventually do justice to the memory of Broderick, and we hope the resolutions will be expunged during the present session; but whether it is done thts year or next, is perhaps a matter of no great consequence. It appears the Republicans and Breckinridgers are urging the introduction of expanging resolutions, in the hope of dividing and breaking up the Douglas party —a very sballow political maneuver, to say the least—for the question can have no effect upon the future politics of this State. AssempLy Orcanizen.—We noticed in our last issue, that Mr. Burnell, of Amador, had been elected Speaker of the Assembly. He was eleciéd by the votes of the Douglas Democrats who stood by Conness and the Republicans—a few Douglas men and the Breckinridgers voting for Wood of Plumas, After the election of a Speaker the Assembly proceeded to ballot for Clerk, Sergeantat-Arms, and other officers, and all the Douglas nominees were elected without difficulty. It was expected that the Governor’s message would be sentin yesterday, and we ehall probably receive it by the stage this evening. Tue Beak FLac.—One Duncan Beaumont, County Surveyor of San Joaquin, recently raised the Bear Flag on a little sloop belonging to him, at Stockton. He evidently wished to make himself notorious, and to express his admiration of the idea of a Pacific Republic. The Argus says that imdiately afterward, the Flag of our Union was hoisted all over the city. Losses By Disunion,—The New York Herald of a late’date gives a table showing the pecuniary losses that must immediately follow a dissolution of the Confederacy. The items foot up $180,500,000 tor the South and $478,620,000 for the North—making a total of $659,120,000. RevoLurion tn Java.—It was reported in Sao Francisco, on Thursday, that a formidable revolution had broken out on the IsJand of Java, among the Swiss troops employed by the Dutch government. It was suppressed after banging thirty-five mutineers and shooting five others. Pscark or A Murpercr.— Wa, Fitzgerald, convicted recently, at Carson City, of the murder of Martin Burke, and sentenced to be hanged on the 2d of February, made his escape from prison on the evening of the Sth inst, At latest dates the Sheriff, with & posse, Was in pursuit of him. Texas.—A Texas exchange, the Gulf Key, published at Port Lavacea, favors secession, but is opposed to a union with other Southero States. We see it stated that the Texans generally favor the policy of erecting their State into an independent republic. Destructive Fing,—The large warehouse of Moore & Folger, corner of California and Davis streets, San Frauciseo, was destroyed by fire last Wednesday evening. The entire stock of goods in the store was burned, and the damage is very heavy, Reoovertsc.—Dr. J. R. Boyce, who was shot through the body on New Years’ Day, at Sacramento, and supposed to be mortally wounded, is recovering. Svroiws.—Mr, J. C. Heath committed suicide at Sonora, recently, by taking laudanum. He was sixty years old. D. Davipson, formerly & newspaper man, of San Francisco, was arrested for insanity on Thursday, in that city. C.L. SCOTT ON SECESSION. The Bulletin of Wednesday, publishes a letver written by Hon. ©. L, Scott to Mr, Chas, Lindley, Chairman of the Breckiaridge Committee. The letter is dated December 21st, and is a general review of the state of the country from a South Carolina stand-point, He totally dissents from the opinion expressed by Mr. Latham, that in the event of secession California would remain with the Northwest. He says the Union is gone beyond adoubt, and the fourth of March will certainly see seven or eight States out, with a strong probability that the border slave States will follow. He thinks if coercion is not attempted the government may possibly be re-conetructed, provided the Northern masses will return to their genses, and grant what the fanatics of the South call their constitutional rights. He would make any personal sacrifice to preserve the Union, bat in his “heart of hearts’? he warmly sympathizes with the Cotton States, and “cordially indorses and . fully justifies them in not remaining in the Union” under Lincoln’s administration, Mr. Scott gives notice, that in case two confederacies are formed, he will “strenu. ously advocate the secession of California, . aud the establishment of a separate republic on the Pacific slope,’ and advances some absurd ideas to show that it would be to the interest of California to set up an independ;ent government. He thinks that the North will be completely ruined by the secession, and if California liaks its destiny with that section she will be heavily taxed to support the government, without receiving any benefit in return, If, (as Mr. Scott anda few fanatics strongly apprehend) New York city also secedes, and becomes a free trade city, the North will be reduced to such a deplorable condition, that a tax, in the shape ofa seignorage, will be exacted from the miners of California, in order to raise revenue for the support of this bogus goverament of the North. He then dilates somewhat upon the advantages of a Pacific Republic, and closes his letter in a blaze of sensation patriotism, In this line, he does not attempt to soar quite as high as his colleague, Burch, and for that reason is more successful, Mr. Scott’s opinions may have great weight in Washington city, but his influence is not very extensive in California. His attempt to frighten the miners into the sup. port of a Pacific Republic scheme is very silly, to say the least, It is only the class of politicians of which Scott is a fair representative, who have nothing to lose and everything to gain by the breaking up of the government, that favor a Pacific Republic. Bat the miners do not feel that the General Government has oppressed them, and they are more inclined to trust their interests with Congress than with a California Legislature, Gotp Coiws.—If our gold coins were made thinner and broader, it is believed that much fraud would thereby be prevented, Cunning and skillful forgers freqently split our thick gold pieces through the middle, cut out a portion of the gold, then fill up the interim with inferior metal, press the whole together, and remill the edge, It is very difficult to detect such frauds; but if the coins were made thioner, the rogues would find a barrier to the success of their nefarious practices. LATER From Cutna.—By the Pony express we have later news from China than has been received here direct. On the 15th of December, intelligence was received in London, through St. Petersburg. from Pekin, to November 9th, which stated that peace had been concluded between the allies and the Emperor of China on the 26th of Oetober, and ratifieations were exchanged November 5th. The French and English forces had evacuated Pekin. Prooress or New Orteans.—In 1810 the population of New Orleans was 17,242; in 1820, 27,276; in 1830, 46,310; in 1840, 102,192; in 1850, 116,875; in 1860, 170,766, With a single exception, the increase has been forty-six per cent. every ten years, Tue Cexsvs.—Georgia bas a population of 1,075,977, being an increase inten years of 169,792. Michigan has 749,969 inbabitants; increase ia ten years 352,316. Mas. sachusetts has 1,231,497, an increase of 236,983 in ten years.

One or two of the . as the property of bimeelf and . $1,000,000. guards were slightly injured, three coavicts were killed dead, and seventeen others badly wounded. Among the killed was a convict named Bagley, the ringleader. Bercon’s Lerrer.—The Shasta Courier thus alludes to Burch’s letter, recommending a Pacific Confederacy: Mr. Burch’s effort at letter-writing has pro-. duced many aggre ger efforts of sarcasm. The fact is, the style of the letter is not Addisonian at all. Neither has it much of the Websterian ring. We admit that our junior Congressman wields a heavy and uncouth pen, and puts words into sentences with a surpassing ack of smoothness. But what of that? He has made himself understood, and that we presume was all he was striving after. We admit that he should not, just before the assembling of Congress, have written such a letter, but his writing it was not half so bad as the indiscretion of his friend in publishing it. We also admit that Mr. Burch should never attempt to write a “sensation” letter, for the reason that, for lack of ideality, he can never rise to an altitude equal to onoh an effort. Lippard, for instance, or Gov. McGoffin, of Kentucky, could “beat him like a d—n, and give him two in the game” at that sort of thing. So could Pickett. Tur Pau-Utes.—From Mr. Ludlam, who resides on the Carson river, near Ragtown, we learn thata party of Pah-Utahs, who were camped near the Sink of the Humboldt. sent a deputation into Fort Churchill, to state that they desired peace and wished an Indian Agent to be sent among them, as they heard occasionally in their intercourse with the whites, that they (the bor wanted to fight them. They said they desire to prospect, but to use them right. They further stated that the northern Indians were beligerant. The Chief—the elder Winnemucca, who made the statement—was disposed to rule all Indians out of his tribe, who would not obey . his orders. They seem to desire that the whites should thoroughly understand their position.— [Territorial Enterprise. Y Tar Hurpy Gurpirs In DownNIevILLe. —Three girls were tried at Downieville, on Wednesday of last week, under the law making it a misdemeanor for ‘any female child under seventeen to dance for hire.” The oldest was accused of hiring her sisters to dance, and the ht er ones of dancing for hire, The jury srought in a verdict of not guilty as to the two eldest, and guilty as to the youngest, who was muleted inthe sum of seventy dollars, the amount of the costs. The sympathy of the speetators, as we learn from the Citizen, was manifestly with the girls, as it appeared they had borne a good character for propriety, and were, withal, uncommonly good looking. Banpitrt in Artzona.—On the 27th ult., . the commandant at Fort Buchanan, dispatehed . a company of regulars, to disband and disperse a body of the adherents of the Gandara party of Sonora. They, since their repulse .in Sonora My Pesquiera, had congregated at a point some 15 miles above Tubac, on the Santa Cruz river, within the territory of the United States, and numbered one hundred and fifty men. They were organized for another foray into Sonora, . collecting reinforcements, and awaiting supplies of money and arms. Secession iv Orrgox.—An Oregon paper speaking of secession, says. Secession is about played out on this coast; here, in Oregon, it is confined to afew brainless squirts, who have’nt means enough to pay their weekly board bills. The only disunion” they will ever witness will be that which takes place when they are kicked out by their indignant landlords. City oy Mexico CartvrEep.—A correspondent of the San Francisco Call, writing from Acapuleo on the 6th, says thata Mexican schooner had arrived five days from Manzanillo bringing the news that the City of Mexico had been taken by the Liberals under General Ovezon. The bark A. A. Eldridge had subsequently arrived, and confirmed the news of the taking of the City of Mexico and Guadalajara. Mork Disunton.—The editor of the Pacifie Methodist, writing from Stockton, says that an “unfortunate spirit” exists there among the . colored brethren hailing from the Northern and Southern sections. An “irrepressible conflict” is waging, such as will require the intervention of the most powerful conservative element to prevent serious consequences, Escarep—A man named Campbell, who has been arrested for robbing the sluices of Messrs. Garrison, Gordon a others, ‘escaped from the Crescent City jail lately, by forcin himself through a window and lowering himself to the ground by his blankets. The notorious . Bill Judd eseaped through the same window, about two years ago. KiLLED.—We are ‘informed that a man named James Barnes, fell from the bank of the Dead Rabbit Claim, at Sucker Flat, in Yuba county, on Tuesday, and was instantly killed. His foot slipped, and he must have fallen fifty feet or more, “TESTIMONY OF THE Rocks.” —The New York Commercial Advertiser says: The most beautiful pueket edition of this highly interesing work that we have ever seen is—. » a twent y-dollar gold piece ["’ .
