SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 14, 1961. ‘Cunsus oF CaLivorxta.—A committee was appointed by the Assembly some time since, to ascertain whether the census rewros, furnished the Governor by the U. S. \ two-thirds. The next day, however, the Marshals were of the charagter required by the Constitution upon which to base the State appestionment. Vrom statements lately made in the Sasramento papers it ap-. Mexico as a State, and to ameud the Wan. . pears that the Legislature has not yet been . stitution so as to probibis Congress from . able to procure the official eensus of the several countion We weve of the opinion some time ago, that the neturns in possession of the Gewennor wese incorrect. According to a statement of Mr. Kennedy, the Census Commissioner at Washington, the population of California is 384,770; but by the figures in possession of the Governor our population is only 376,947—a difference of nearly 8,000, Measures have been taken to. procure the eflicial returns from Washingtou, aod unless they are received before the adjournment, the Legislature will have no official figures apon which to apportion the State, Yores. Bu.. Devearev.—The Force Bill lately introduced into, the House of Representatives, by Mr. Stanton, had,on motion of Mr. Corwin, been postponed until the 28th of February, by a vote of L0® to 74. This was considered equivaleat to the defeat of the bilj,.aa there would not be time to pass it after that date, ‘She bill authorized the President,. in bis discretion, to accept the services of volunteers, to protect the public property, suppress insurrections, te, The defeat of this measure indicates thata large proportion of the Northern members of Congress are not disposed to resort to violent measures for the parpose of suppressing the rebellion in the Gulf States, ; Tuy Trarrom.—The act of Gen.

C., on Wednesday last, brings four days later . bas written another letter, in order to wipe . intelligence from the Kast. The most inte out erroneous impressions in regard to his portant intelligence by this arrival, is the . former effort. We have not seen the letter progress of the Vompromise negotiations at . in fall, but the Alta’s Washington corresWashington. pondent gives some extracts, He says: On the 27th ult, the Hlouse of Bepresen-. ft appears you have fallen into the error, so of Thiaty-theee, by a vote of 136 to 73, but because I have pete a separate Republic failed to pass the amendments to the Con. on the Pacifie coast, in a certain contingency, .

It is not surprising that his friends, as well as the opposition press, mistook the meaning of a letter abounding in big words and little ideas. Again he says: I hold California is content and will be true to the Union, even as it will exist with Lincoln interfering with slavery in the States where . it exists, or with the slave trade between . these States, On the 27th, the Peace Conference adopted Gutbrie’s propoeition, modified, and ad. . . . . against anothes section, One confederacy will . kets of the world. journed.

When the proposition of the Peace Conference was presented to the Senate, Seward offered a substitute, proposing to call a ational Convention, This appears to have been a damper on the hopes of a com. promise, as with Seward’s opposition it was thought the amendments could not pass by the: requisite two-thirds vote. At the latest advices, the report of the Committee of Thirty-three, as adopted by the House, was before the Senate, and is the only measure of compromise that is-likely to be adopted. Should it fail in the Senate, it is possible that Congress will then recommend a National Convention, The next Povy, which is now due, will bring us the result of Congressional action. ean see the point of Red Head’s wit.—Transeript, Mvp Heap knows a Democratic editor who never did regard the Missouri Compromise unconstitutional, aud has also discovered the point of Red Head's wit; but he cannot think the head of the Government and bis “fapat. ics’? in office. The change from Bochasan . to Lincoln ceanot be for the worse, and . may be an improvement, while the ousting . from the Federal offices of one set of “fa. naties’”? to give place to another will at least . be a relief to all the sane people in the . country. We give another extract: I repeat that dissolution is upon us. We are forced to take position. Shall we tamely submit to it, or shall we rather take a position in which we may. act as arbiter between the contending factions! With me there is no hesitation. If dissolution is upon us, we do not see how California can help submitting toit, In the estimation of its own citizens, California is a great State; but outside of our own limits we are not regarded as of such overshadowing importance, aud in assuming to ourselves the position of arbiter between a’ for our presumption, . paragraph: We give-one more the “eontending factions,” we should only . place oursel¥ea in a position to be laughed) . election, bat itis avery poor reason for . disunion; for only in the event of disunion . will they have the power to carry out their . platform, A Russtan functionary, of high rank, of Ss Disunton anp Crvin War.—The Raleigh (N.

It says: If war once breaks out, it will rage in the interior, on our seacoasts, on the high seas, andi on our frontiers. One section will let loose the fndians on another section. Twenty millions! of Northern people wilt at onge become our enemies. They will war upon us along.a line of three thousand miles from the Atlantiz to the Pacific.

Wiliconunue here a day or two since, and makes a very good impression. It is evident that Col. Baker intends to supporthis claims; and beats Rankin, he probably is the man. But my own impression is, decidedly, that in the end Rankin will be appointed. Certainly, if Col. Baker makes the fight for the appointment of his.gon-in-law, Mx.

At present, Rabe seems most likely to obtain the Post Office. I understand thati he had rather a spicy talk with Col.
