STBAMBOAT Suyx.—The Marysville Ex. press, of yesterday morning, chronicles an scident to the steamer James Blair, on ber way from Sacramento to Marysville. She was heavily freighted, and when withia about two miles of Hock Farm, struck a soag under water, over which she bad, on former oceasions, passed in safety. As soon as the accident occurred a hole was cut in the deck, and an attempt made to bail out the water; but the orifice was so large that the water came into the deck ina volume, nearly as large asa flour barrel. Seeing she must sink, the boat was turned towards the western shore and after running about # hundred yards settled down upon the bottom, about twenty yards from shore. Ina few minutes the water was running over tbe lower deck. There were about twenty pas sengers on board, two of whom were ladies, besides a number of Chinese and Indians on the lower deck, The accident occasioned co very great alarm among the passengers. A large amount of mail matter was on board, including the Oregon mail by the last steamer. The California Stage Company sent down stages and brought the passengers and mai} to Marysville, The damage to the cargo was not great. New Discovery or Lime.—The Grass Valley National says that Messrs. Brave and Grant have recently opened a lime quarry on the east side of Greenborn creek, about half a mile below Lewis’ saw mill, on the Walloupa road. It is situated about seven and a half miles from Grass Valley, and seven from Nevada, The ledge is about fifteen feet in thickness, easily accessible, and the lime of very superior quality. The discovery is very important to Nevada and Grass Walley, as the ledge is accessible at all seasons, and the distance less than toany other ledge now heing worked. Moxey Srorey.—The San Juan Press says that about two weeks ago, the bouse of Michael Casey, on Flume street, was broken open in the night time, and over $3,000 in gold coin stolen, At the time no ene was in the house except Mra. Casey and her daughter ; Casey was performing oight work ina mining claim near town, The money had been left with Casey by other parties, and was buried under the house. Tue Smita Vexve Bitt.—The bill changing the venue in Horace Smith’s case was vetoed by the Governor on Monday, but passed the Senate over the veto, by 22 ayes to 9 nays. We learn by telegraph that the bill passed the Assembly to-day, over the veto. It is expected that Judge Campbell will refuse to obey the law, aad the question will then ‘be taken to the Supreme Court, as to the right of the Legislature to interfere with the Judiciary. Jomwr Convention.—Five more ballote were bad for Senator, in Joint Convention, on Monday. The last ballot was as follows: McDougall, 26; Nugent, 22; Denver, 18; Phelps, 20; Weller, 20; Creaner, 4; Washington, 2; Hoge, 2; Rhodes, 1; Peachy, 1 Gwin, 1. The Convention was in session agaio this.afternoon, as we learn by telegraph, but we could not get the vote. Drev.— William Montgomery, one of the men injured at Dowsieville, on the 4th inst, by the bursting of a sledge used in firing a salute in honor of Lincoln's inauguration, died on the 7th, THe was a native of Ogdensburg, N. Y., 36 years of age, and the Domocrat is informed has a wife and children in Tehama county. Norry Carouina,—Gov, Ellis, of North Carolina, has issaed a proclamation in accordance with the act of the Legislature, calling uponthe people to vote for or against a Convention, aod also for delegates if the Convention is called. ARKANSAS.—The latest intelligence from Arkansas indicate that tbe secessionists have elected a majority of the delegates, and that the Convention is also earried, The result, however, is nog yet settled.

On our first page will be found a letter from the Washington correspondent of the New York Herald, and a short extract from . pa the Tribune, foreshadowing the policy of the Republican party in the event of a final separation of the slave States from the Union, It appears that the leading spirits of the party regard the establishment of a Southern Confederacy a inevitable, and while Seward and the Peace Conference have been left to deal with the fossil question of slavery and the Territories, they have already marked out the boundaries that are todivide the two Republics, and settled upen the general features of the policy to be pursued by the North, According to the Tribune, arrested wherever it “trenches upon the interests of the free States,”’? The Potomac and Ohio must be the boundary on the North—the free States retaining the Federal Capital and the States of Maryland and . Delaware, together with all the States and Territories west of the Mississippi. allow Missouri, Arkansas and Texas to join the Slave Confederacy would treoch on ‘the interests of the free States,’’ and they must be retained, with or without their own consent; aud the Flurida Keys must also be held, iv order to give the North the control of the commerce of the Galf, Should the border States eventually join the Southern Confederacy, it is not only possible, but bighly probable, that this programme, in the main, will be carried out; but if they conelude to remain io the Union, then the policy will be to collect the revenue and hold the fortsin the States that have seceded, Had the Gulf States co-operated with the more conservative slave States, they might have agreed upon an ultimatum; and failing to obtain what they regarded as sufficient guarantees for their peculiar institution, could have left the Union in a body, and with some chance of success demanded their share of the public property, and a division of the Territories. But tbe bot baste of the Gulf States to get out of the Union, has so divided the slave holding States that the prestige of the Federal Government, together with the army aud navy, will remain with the Nortb, no matter how far secession may now extend. The political leaders of the Cotton States are shrewd politicians, but have none of the qualifications of statesmen, Having got their own States out of the Union, their ambition now is to drag after them the remaining slave States; and while they are engaged in this work, their opponents of the North, with the resources of the Federal Government at their control, will be quietly preparing to arrest the progress of secession at the Potomac and Mississippi, so as to completely encompass the Southern Confederacy, Tuk Presipent Exvecr.—No satisfactory solution bas been given of Lincoln’s rapid progress through Baltimore.

HoorrrsviLur, Mareh 4th 1861. Editor Democrat :—The tone of our local pers has most likely evidenced to you, the sentiment of the people of Siskiyou county in regard to the great national questions now agitating the whole country. In denying the right of secession, condemning the movements of the seceding States, sustaining the officers of the federal government in the firm and proper discharge of their duties, and opposing the establishment of a Pacific Republic, they have uttered sentiments which are cordially endorsed by all but a very few of our people. In the threatened danger to our institutions, partisan feelings and party prejudices are forgotten, and on the plain broad platform of the late Bell-Everett party, members of every political faith are now ranged side by side, We have an abiding faith in the virtues of the principles upon which our government is founded, and be. lieve that the cement which unites them will resist all attempts at neutralization, and that the glorious old fabric will weather the storm that is now rocking it to its very base ; and although we would desire to see it pass the ordeal, as our fathers farmed and transmitted it it to us, if the Constitution bes deficient, and can be so amended as to close the openings ' through which the shafts of treason are being directed, and permanent peace secured to the country thereby, we say, let it be done, and ask not whether such amendments emanate from the mind of a Crittenden, a Douglas, a Corwin At all events, we are for the Union. While two States hold together under the Constitution, let California be one of them. And while two of the old stars remain upon our fed. eral banner, let our truly national State be represented there. The resolution censuring Gen. Scott, which our Assemblyman, Sorrel, endeavered ®to get through a late democratic caucus at Sacramento, meets with no favorable response, so far as Iean learn, from even his most ardent political friends. On the contrary, many of those to whose efforts he is indebted for his present position, bitterly denounce his uncalled for attempt at reflection upon the name of our great chieftain. By birth and education a Southera man, I do not feel disposed to blame him for taking an interest the affairs of the South, or sympathising with the people of his native State in the present crisis ; but endorsed, and materially assisted to his position by te Union men of this county, they at least, have a right to expect that while occupying that position he will not use its influence to aceomplish the ies ae of any sectional feeling or prejuice that he may entertain; and we do hope that if he considers himself under obligations to the South, paramount to those which he is under to the Union and Constitution, knowing as he must, the Union sentiment of his constituents, before misrepresenting them by any act suggested by, and eonsistent with his own personal prejudices, he will resign the trust he holds rather than betray it. As the time draws near for the distsibution of prizes under the new regime, those who consider themselves entitled toa share of the apenas begin to bustle around and get their claims in the most favorable shape for presentation at head quarters. I believe that in the a aspirants for the heavy federal offices which are soon to be filled, our county is not represented; but there is quite a lively little home contest going on among some five or six ambitious Repubs. for the Postoffice at Yreka, Each would be public servant, tothe recommendation of being a faithful partisan, has added, that of a numerously signed petition, and I suppose, each one considers his chance for success as number one on the list, It is hard telling who will carry off the prize, but the friends of Mr. H. Wadsworth, of Yreka, are confident that he will be the man. The office isa goodone, and itisagreat pity that itis not extensive enough to accommodate all who look to it as a remuneration for past services. I understand that a petition, having for its object an increase of the pay our Supervisors, from six dollars per day to one thousand per annum, has been put upon a eirculating tour somewhere in the country. The last heard . from it it was im the vicinity of Fort Jones. It . had then been out over two weeks, and had received the endorsement of nine persons. Its progress is hardly sufficient to cause any apprehension on the part of tax-payers of an additional per cent or even to require check-mating by a remonstrance. Who the projector is is unknown, but doubtless, some one who thinks he has a chance to step into the shoes of one of the Board whose term of service exma on Monday mi vaing, with 160 passen-. pires next fall. gers and $957,099 io treasure, Deatu or A. R. Metonry.—We clip the following, relative to the death of A. R. . Meloney, formerly State Controller, from the Contra Costa Gazette: Another has been added to the long list of those who have gone down to the grave, victims to the unquenchable appetite for strong drink, A. R. Meloney, who, but a short year since, occupied a bigh position in our State government, died at Lafayette in this county, on Friday, tbe lst instant, aod was consigned to au untimely grave . the following day, almost ‘“‘unwept, unhonored and anrang. ‘i Tur Risixa "Generation FOR TME UNION. —The following incident, which we find in the Amador Dispatch, indicates that the rising generation is for the Union: A noted secessionist who has been reckles? enough to express bis views in public, was followed a few days singe, by a number of urchins through the streets of Jaekson, who were earnestly and quietly disenssing some plan to.cutch the dissoluter and bang ‘bim, Some raseally fellow, for some cause or other, Which we are unable to divine, took it into /his head a few nights since, while the thermometer was ranging entirely too low for comfort, ; to turn the inhabitants of our little “berg,” out to the inhospitabie shelter of chapparel bushes, by burning the town, but unfortunately for his very uncharitable design, and fortunately for our comfort, convenience, and pockets, a faithful providence, who kept vigil while we slept, by some mysterious agency, interposed, aud thwarted the villain’s scheme. The fellow managed to effect an entrance into an unoceupied house at the upper end of town, and set re to the lining, when it is supposed he beat a hasty retreat, thinking that everything would o off as he ‘desired, and not wishing to be ound in the vicinity “when the alarm should be given. The fire spread until all the lining burnt off smooth and clean, and then went out without more than scorching anything else. Nothing was known of it untilthe following morning, when a gentleman living next door was attracted to the house by the scent of the burnt cloth, and found things as described. Had the fire communicated to the woodwork, and got a good start the whole town would certainly have gone in, for we have no facilities for extinguishing fires. .

PRESENTS TO THE PresipENT.—The Springfield correspondent of the Bulletin, ina letter dated Feb. 10th, says : Several noteworthy additions were made within: the last few days to the collection of gifts athered since November by the President elect. ‘here was, in the first place, a complete broaccloth suit, manufactured by an enterprising firm of merchant tailors at hicago,and to be worn by the recipient on the 4th of March!— Then these was a second gold headed cane, expressed from California by some uaknown admirers of the Great Railsp litter. A box arrived furthermore, some days duis, from Tennessee, with the name of the Presidential consignee, but not of the consignor. Hence some hesitation to open it was at first felt by Mr. Lincela’s private secretary, and the box left untouched until yesterday morning, when, upon cautiously removing the lid, it was found to contaim a stuffed figure, intended to represent a “nigger bo The oddest of the Presidential presents, however, came to hand night before last. It was nothing less than a whistle made out of a pig’s tail! In the face of the old saying to the com trary, you may perhaps think thisa joke ; but! have seen the novel instrument with my ow” eyes, and heard the President elect practice upon it with my own ears, so that there can be no mistake about it. Mr. Russell, the Secretary of the State of Ohio, is the person who heretofore owned and sent the whistle, which is well known to politicians in Ohio. Mr. Lincoln, after trying it for some time, was heard to remark that he had not suspected, up to this time, that there was “music in such a thimg as a pig’s tail.” S«nrencep.—On the $th inst., Bishop Kip in the presence of fifty or sixty persons, assembled at Trinity Church, San Francisco, read the sentence deporing Rev.

By birth and education a Southera man, I do not feel disposed to blame him for taking an interest the affairs of the South, or sympathising with the people of his native State in the present crisis ; but endorsed, and materially assisted to his position by te Union men of this county, they at least, have a right to expect that while occupying that position he will not use its influence to aceomplish the ies ae of any sectional feeling or prejuice that he may entertain; and we do hope that if he considers himself under obligations to the South, paramount to those which he is under to the Union and Constitution, knowing as he must, the Union sentiment of his constituents, before misrepresenting them by any act suggested by, and eonsistent with his own personal prejudices, he will resign the trust he holds rather than betray it. As the time draws near for the distsibution of prizes under the new regime, those who consider themselves entitled toa share of the apenas begin to bustle around and get their claims in the most favorable shape for presentation at head quarters. I believe that in the a aspirants for the heavy federal offices which are soon to be filled, our county is not represented; but there is quite a lively little home contest going on among some five or six ambitious Repubs. for the Postoffice at Yreka, Each would be public servant, tothe recommendation of being a faithful partisan, has added, that of a numerously signed petition, and I suppose, each one considers his chance for success as number one on the list, It is hard telling who will carry off the prize, but the friends of Mr. H. Wadsworth, of Yreka, are confident that he will be the man. The office isa goodone, and itisagreat pity that itis not extensive enough to accommodate all who look to it as a remuneration for past services. I understand that a petition, having for its object an increase of the pay our Supervisors, from six dollars per day to one thousand per annum, has been put upon a eirculating tour somewhere in the country. The last heard . from it it was im the vicinity of Fort Jones. It . had then been out over two weeks, and had received the endorsement of nine persons. Its progress is hardly sufficient to cause any apprehension on the part of tax-payers of an additional per cent or even to require check-mating by a remonstrance. Who the projector is is unknown, but doubtless, some one who thinks he has a chance to step into the shoes of one of the Board whose term of service exma on Monday mi vaing, with 160 passen-. pires next fall. gers and $957,099 io treasure, Deatu or A.

following, relative to the death of A. R. . Meloney, formerly State Controller, from the Contra Costa Gazette: Another has been added to the long list of those who have gone down to the grave, victims to the unquenchable appetite for strong drink, A. R. Meloney, who, but a short year since, occupied a bigh position in our State government, died at Lafayette in this county, on Friday, tbe lst instant, aod was consigned to au untimely grave . the following day, almost ‘“‘unwept, unhonored and anrang. ‘i Tur Risixa "Generation FOR TME UNION. —The following incident, which we find in the Amador Dispatch, indicates that the rising generation is for the Union: A noted secessionist who has been reckles? enough to express bis views in public, was followed a few days singe, by a number of urchins through the streets of Jaekson, who were earnestly and quietly disenssing some plan to.cutch the dissoluter and bang ‘bim, Some raseally fellow, for some cause or other, Which we are unable to divine, took it into /his head a few nights since, while the thermometer was ranging entirely too low for comfort, ; to turn the inhabitants of our little “berg,” out to the inhospitabie shelter of chapparel bushes, by burning the town, but unfortunately for his very uncharitable design, and fortunately for our comfort, convenience, and pockets, a faithful providence, who kept vigil while we slept, by some mysterious agency, interposed, aud thwarted the villain’s scheme. The fellow managed to effect an entrance into an unoceupied house at the upper end of town, and set re to the lining, when it is supposed he beat a hasty retreat, thinking that everything would o off as he ‘desired, and not wishing to be ound in the vicinity “when the alarm should be given. The fire spread until all the lining burnt off smooth and clean, and then went out without more than scorching anything else. Nothing was known of it untilthe following morning, when a gentleman living next door was attracted to the house by the scent of the burnt cloth, and found things as described. Had the fire communicated to the woodwork, and got a good start the whole town would certainly have gone in, for we have no facilities for extinguishing fires. .

PRESENTS TO THE PresipENT.—The Springfield correspondent of the Bulletin, ina letter dated Feb. 10th, says : Several noteworthy additions were made within: the last few days to the collection of gifts athered since November by the President elect. ‘here was, in the first place, a complete broaccloth suit, manufactured by an enterprising firm of merchant tailors at hicago,and to be worn by the recipient on the 4th of March!— Then these was a second gold headed cane, expressed from California by some uaknown admirers of the Great Railsp litter. A box arrived furthermore, some days duis, from Tennessee, with the name of the Presidential consignee, but not of the consignor. Hence some hesitation to open it was at first felt by Mr. Lincela’s private secretary, and the box left untouched until yesterday morning, when, upon cautiously removing the lid, it was found to contaim a stuffed figure, intended to represent a “nigger bo The oddest of the Presidential presents, however, came to hand night before last. It was nothing less than a whistle made out of a pig’s tail! In the face of the old saying to the com trary, you may perhaps think thisa joke ; but! have seen the novel instrument with my ow” eyes, and heard the President elect practice upon it with my own ears, so that there can be no mistake about it. Mr. Russell, the Secretary of the State of Ohio, is the person who heretofore owned and sent the whistle, which is well known to politicians in Ohio. Mr. Lincoln, after trying it for some time, was heard to remark that he had not suspected, up to this time, that there was “music in such a thimg as a pig’s tail.” S«nrencep.—On the $th inst., Bishop Kip in the presence of fifty or sixty persons, assembled at Trinity Church, San Francisco, read the sentence deporing Rev.
