All the Democracy want, is that those who take part in making their ticket shall vote it. ApporrionMENT oF tHE Scuoon F'venp.—The State Board of Education have recently made the semi-annual apportionment of the school fund among the several counties of the State.

Of the sixty members of the Convention, the opposition have elected eighteen. The Democrats have elected twenty of the thirty members of the House of Representatives. A number of the members of the Convention are said to be in. favor of establishing slavery iu the new State, though it is not probable that a majority of the people will approve of a clause in the Constitution to that effect, even should it be adopted by the Convention. Important to Lerrer-Wrirers.—A new table of instructions to Postmasters has just been issued by the Postmaster General, in which the following rates for foreign postage are fixed upon :~Single letters, half ounce, to Great Britain, 24 cts.; to Germany, by closed mail, 30 cts; Germany, by the Bremen line, 15 ots.; quarter ounce letter to Germany, via Fiance, Svicrpe or A Srare Prisoner.—A State prisony oner, named David Griffith, in charge of DepuLoia Montez.—It is said that the excentric ty Sheriff Fairfield, from Kiamath county, while Countens is: preparing . ones of lectures, . on board the steamer Goliah, on June 19th, which she intends to deliver in the principal jumped overboard and was drowned.

Prospectinc Party.—A small party is paring to go out and prospect the country lyin east of Yreka, between Shasta valley and the Sierras, There is a vast auriferous region lying in that section of the State, which, up to the present, bas scarcely been distarbed by the pick of the adventurous miner.--The Pitt: river Jp. dians have heretofore deterred miners from invading their mountain fastnesses, as their hostility to the whites is deadly; but the presence of Capt. Judah with Uncle Sam’s troops, have overawed the savages so completely as to render it safe for the “pale faces’’ to emigrate thither. “Exrenpinc tHe Area,’’ ETC.—Those who are watching the progress of our country to. wards the equator, in the course pointed out ‘manifest destiny,’ are very likely to overloo. the extension of United States» authority in more remote regions. The Washington corres. nondent of the Baltimore Sun, says that another annexation of ter: itory to the United States has actually taken place. without a formal protest from any quarter. Moreover, it is not even of contigous territory, but of land far away in the South Pacific. Jervis Island and New Nantueket Island are now American soil, protected p the American flag, guarantied by the U, ef Government, and actually in possession of American citizens, From Mazatian.— By the arrival of the Mex. ican Bark Adelaida, Captain Callot. thirty days from Mazatlan, we learn that everything was quiet at that place, and business dull. A new gold mine had been discovered a short time pre. vious to the sailing of the Adelaida, about sixty miles back of Mazatlan, which caused. great excitement, and hada tendency to subvert all kinds of business, as many of the inhabitants were leaving their oceupations and homes daily to acquire riches by a quicker method than attending to their usual callings.—S. #. Herald. Exuvmation or Inptans.—The Alta alludes to the fact that the skeleton remains of forty Dig. ger Indians were sluiccd out of a miner’s claim, a short time ago, and aptly quotes the following . lines from Wm. Cullen Bryant’s Thanatopsis ; Take the wings Of morning, and the Barcan desert pierce ; Or lose thyself in the continuous woods Where rells the Oregon, and hears no sound Save its own dashings, yet the dead are there, And millions in those solitudes, since first The flight of years began, have laid them down Ip their last sleep—the dead reign there alone.’’ Spienpip Binusann PLayine-—The billiard players of New York, says an exchange, have . been astonished by three match games, played at the Irving Rooms, in which the following very handsome runs were made by a Mr. Price, an amateur from Boston, he playing a carom game against a New York amatcur’s full game.
