Tux Srar or tux West.—The steamer Star of the West, which was fired upoo in Charleston harbor on the morning of Jan. vib, had been chartered by Gen. Scott, on behalf of the Government, to take provisions and troops to Fort Sumpter, for the relief of the garrison under Major Anderson. It had on board two hundred and fifty men, uoder Lieut. Bartlett. The dispatches do not state what became of the steamer after she left the harbor; bat the sloop of war Brooklyn baving put to sea from Norfolk, tbe day the shots were fired, the suposition is that she had been sent to the assistance of the Star of the West. The Charlestonians, it appears, were making preparations to resist the entrance of the Brooklyo, and it is not improbable that a desperate fight took plece in Charleston harbor, on her arrival at that place. The South Carolinians have been provoking a conflict with the Federal Government, and their efforts are likely to succeed, New York Crvy.—Mayor Wood, in bis Jate message to the Common Council of New York, recommends the seceseion of that city and the establishment of a free port. This is understood to be a movement of the b’hoys, and there is no telling what that interesting species of genus homo may attempt. It is not probable, however, that a serious attempt of the kind will be made; but if it should be, the city could soon be brought to its senses without the aid of the Federal Government. The Legislature of the State, by closing the canals and railroads, could starve the city into submission in a week’s time. Mayor Wood probably made the recommendation merely to gratify the b’hoys, and furnish material for a seosation article. a — Fatan Acetwent.—Mr. Henry Dunsey, a native of New Hampshire, was killed in the Pollard diggings, at Freneh Corral, last Tuesday morning, by acave. From the San Juan Press, we learn that deeeased arrived over the plains, from Pike’s Peak, about six weeks ago, and at the time of the accident was performing Jabor asa night hand, to supply the place, temporarily, of an absentee.

Itis embelAlevada Democrat. Pacific Republic in San Francisco. We hear from several sources that the yeople of San Francisco are almost unanimously in favor of a Pacific Republic. The vote of that city at the last election is conclusive evidence that a large portion of the inhabitants have no objections to living under Lincoln’s administration, and the feeling which has of late grown up there must be attributed to some cause disconnected with politics, From what we can learn, the property bolders and business men of San Francisco have got the absurd idea into their heads thatthe establishment of a Pacific Republic would greatly improve the business, and increase the prosperity of the city. In addition to this, San Francisco, like all commercial towns, contains a large floating population, who are always ready to advocate any measure likely to produce excitement and trouble, in bopes that some. thivg may turn up for their benefit. These causes combined, have probably had the etfect to build up a pretty strong Pacific Republic party at the Bay. There is arumor floating around to the effect that an organization has been perfected, having for its object the seizure of the Custom House and the fort at the entrance to the harbor, asa preliminary step towards the formation of an ment ; the seizure to be made as svon as intelligenee reaches California of fighting having commenced at the East. There may be no truth in the report, but the lengths to which revolutionary measures were carried in that city by the Vigilance Committee, in 1856, should be a warning to the officers at the fort to be prepared for every possible emergency. The foreignera who ranged themselves ander the Vigilance banner, would make excelleut tools for designing men to inaugurate a revolutionary movement. One thing is certain, San Francisco eannot influenee the interior, That was tried in 1866 without effeet. The people of the interior are quite well contented to remain in the Union ; at least until the troubles at the East are settled ; and if any revolutionary measures are attempted at the Bay, they will be put down. Exruneixe Reso.urions.—We stated in . Pickens, referring the wholg matter to the Saturday’s issue, that the resolutions offered by Mr. O’Brien, expunging the resolutions passed by the Legislature uf 1859, censuring Senator Broderick, had passed the Assembly, The resolutions direct the Clerk of the Assembly and Seeretary of the Sen. ate to draw a black line around the resolutions of eensure and write across their face the words, **Expunged by order of the Senate and Assembly.’’ They were adopted by the following vote : Ayvres—Adams, .

Correspondence Between Major Anderson and Gov, Pickens. The Balletin contains the correspondence between Major Anderson and Gov. Pickens relative to the firing into the Star of the West. The first communication of Major Anderson was as follows: To His Excellency, the Governor of South Carolina—Sir : ‘I'wo of your batteries fired this morning on an unarmed vessel bearing the flag of Government; asI have not been notified that war.has been declared by South Carolina against the United States, I cannot but think this a hostile act committed without your sanction or authority; under that hope I refrain from opening a fire on your batteries. I have the honor, therefore, respectfully to ask whether the above mentioned act, which, I believe, is without a parallel in our country, or any other . civilized Government, was committed in obedilence to your instructions, and to notify you that if it is not disclaimed, I regard it as an act of war, and I shall, after a reasonable time, for return of my messenger, not permit any vessel . to pass withiu the range of the gunsof my Fort. . In order to save,as far asin my power, the shedding of blood, I beg you will take due noti. fication of my decision, for the good of all con. cerned ; hoping, however, that your answer may . justify me in further forbearance on my part, I remaim respectfully yours, ROBERT ANDERSON. Gov. Pickens, in answer, after stating the position of South Carolina towards the Federal Government, says: . Any attempt to reinforce the troops at Fort . Sumpter, or to retake or resume possession of the pe within the waters of South Carolina, which Major Anderson abandoned, after spiking the guns and yy other damages, cannot . but be regarded, by the authorities of South Carolina, as indicative of no other purpose than . the coercion of the State by the armed force of . the Government. The special agents, therefore, of the State have been off the bar to warn vessels armed, having troops to reinforce Vort Sumpter aboard, not to enter the harbor. Spec' ial orders have been given to commanders at the Forts, not to fire on such vessels until a shot across their bows should warn them of the prohibition of the State. Under these circumstances the steamer Siar of the West,, this . morning, attempted to enter the harbor with troops, having been notified that she could not . enter, and consequently she was fired into. ‘The act is anenige J justified by me. Im regard to your threat about vessels in the harbor, it is only necessary for meto say that you alone must be the judge of your responsibility. Your position in the harbor has been tolerated by the authorities of the State;. and, while the act of which complaint is made, is in perfeet consisteney with the right and. duty of the State, it is not perceived how far the conduct you propose to adopt ean find a parallel in the history of any eountry, or reconciled with any other purpose than that of your Governmont imposing on this State the condition of an aequiesced province. . W. PICKENS. Major Aderson sent another note to Gov. . Government, and stating that be should defer the course indicated in his first note, until he received instructions from Washbington, A Juror my Trovair.—aAt the late term of the District court, held at Martinez, the jury having retired to determine upon a verdict in a trial for murder, found it a difficult matter to arrive at what the verdict should be, and day-. light on the following morning found them still . m a state of disagreement. At this time, says the Gazette, one of their number, wearied, probably, with the night’s labor in the jury room, and hungry from long fasting, and, moreover, not having the fear before him of the pains and penalties in such cases made and provided, quietly slipped out of the window and made quick time to a hotel, and after procuring some “refreshments,” coolly went to bed. His absence Was s00n discovered, and an invitation he did not feel at liberty to decline compelled him to leave his comfortable quarters and return to his post of duty. His transgression was visited with a sentence of three days imprisonment and a fine of two hundred dollars. Founp Drap.—A man named Mitchell, who kept a ranch on the North Fork, about 9 miles above Downieville, was found yesterday ne lying dead in a ditch,—shot in the back, Mitchell was about 50 years of age. The manner in which the discovery was made, is rather peculiar, A Chinaman living at Rantedodlar Bar told W. H. Burgess, of Goodyear, that a Chinaman had passed that way, and acknowledged to informant that he had killed and robbed Mitchell, and was then on his way to San Francisco, to ship for China. Mr. Burgess came to town, and a party went outon the directions given by the confessed murderer. The body was found as described—having been dead apparently four or five days.—[Sierra Democrat, An Aristooracy.—In South Carolina the people never vote for Presidential electors, that duty being discharged by their legislature, which body also chooses the Chief Magistrate of the State, who is a magnate ona large scale. Their Judges g to court in official robes, and are preceded by an officer with a drawn sword, and the Mayor of the city of Charleston affects all theairs and graces of the Lord Mayor of Lonon. White laborers are called “mud-sills” of society by Mr. Hammond, who represents South Carolina in the United States Senate. Ricu ORre.—Specimens of ore which on assay, are said to yield to the ton fifteen hundred pounds of lead, and two hundred and fifty pounds of silver, ata moderate calculation worth $3,000, were exhibited in San Francisco . the other day, The specimens were from what is known as the “Colorado mine,” located on . . the Colorado river, about fifteen miles from . navigable waters, Ls A New DistRriet.—Senator Hill, has introduced a bill creating the Eighteenth Judicial District out of the present Seventh District.

WuHaLe Comnpat.—A fight occurred recently between two whales in Santa Cruz harbor, which resulted in the killing of one of them. A number of citizens witnessed the combat, and after it was over, some enterprising fishermen went out and towed the dead whale to the shore. He was about twenty-five feet long and his owners say, he will yield some thirty-five or forty barrels of oil. He was of the California Grey variety. ————) AFFRAY IN Merced County.—On New Year's night a shooting affray occurred below the town of Snelling, in Merced county, between two men named Parker and Sylvester.

Sumpter, or to retake or resume possession of the pe within the waters of South Carolina, which Major Anderson abandoned, after spiking the guns and yy other damages, cannot . but be regarded, by the authorities of South Carolina, as indicative of no other purpose than . the coercion of the State by the armed force of . the Government. The special agents, therefore, of the State have been off the bar to warn vessels armed, having troops to reinforce Vort Sumpter aboard, not to enter the harbor. Spec' ial orders have been given to commanders at the Forts, not to fire on such vessels until a shot across their bows should warn them of the prohibition of the State. Under these circumstances the steamer Siar of the West,, this . morning, attempted to enter the harbor with troops, having been notified that she could not . enter, and consequently she was fired into. ‘The act is anenige J justified by me. Im regard to your threat about vessels in the harbor, it is only necessary for meto say that you alone must be the judge of your responsibility. Your position in the harbor has been tolerated by the authorities of the State;. and, while the act of which complaint is made, is in perfeet consisteney with the right and. duty of the State, it is not perceived how far the conduct you propose to adopt ean find a parallel in the history of any eountry, or reconciled with any other purpose than that of your Governmont imposing on this State the condition of an aequiesced province. . W. PICKENS. Major Aderson sent another note to Gov. . Government, and stating that be should defer the course indicated in his first note, until he received instructions from Washbington, A Juror my Trovair.—aAt the late term of the District court, held at Martinez, the jury having retired to determine upon a verdict in a trial for murder, found it a difficult matter to arrive at what the verdict should be, and day-. light on the following morning found them still . m a state of disagreement. At this time, says the Gazette, one of their number, wearied, probably, with the night’s labor in the jury room, and hungry from long fasting, and, moreover, not having the fear before him of the pains and penalties in such cases made and provided, quietly slipped out of the window and made quick time to a hotel, and after procuring some “refreshments,” coolly went to bed. His absence Was s00n discovered, and an invitation he did not feel at liberty to decline compelled him to leave his comfortable quarters and return to his post of duty. His transgression was visited with a sentence of three days imprisonment and a fine of two hundred dollars. Founp Drap.—A man named Mitchell, who kept a ranch on the North Fork, about 9 miles above Downieville, was found yesterday ne lying dead in a ditch,—shot in the back, Mitchell was about 50 years of age. The manner in which the discovery was made, is rather peculiar, A Chinaman living at Rantedodlar Bar told W. H. Burgess, of Goodyear, that a Chinaman had passed that way, and acknowledged to informant that he had killed and robbed Mitchell, and was then on his way to San Francisco, to ship for China. Mr. Burgess came to town, and a party went outon the directions given by the confessed murderer. The body was found as described—having been dead apparently four or five days.—[Sierra Democrat,

He was of the California Grey variety. ————) AFFRAY IN Merced County.—On New Year's night a shooting affray occurred below the town of Snelling, in Merced county, between two men named Parker and Sylvester.
