THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 21, 1861. ———a {ne INAUGURAL.—We give on ovr first page an extract from Lincoln’s Inaugural, which iocludes that portion relating to the enforcement of the laws and the protection of the government property. The document certainly is not very warlike; on the contrary, its tone is much more pacific than we had reason to expect from a perusal of the synopsis. It istrue, be announces his purpose to enforce the laws, unless the American people withhold the means, ‘and we do not see bow a man conscientiously can-say Jess, who has taken an oath to support the Constitution. He says the power confided to him will be used to “hold, occupy and possess the property and places belonging to the government, and collect daties on imports,’ but no force will be used further than is necessary for these objects. We infer from the language used, that he does not intend to employ force to recapture the forts and other property stolen by the Secessionists ; but that all the means at hie disposal will be used to retain such as are still in the possession of the government. If this policy is adhered to, there can be no serious collision unless the seceders are the aggressors. Tue Six Mutton Rospery.—The Committee appointed to investigate the frauds of the late Secretary of War, have ascertained that Floyd issued “acceptances” to the amount of $6,137,395. Tbese acceptances were mostly issued in advance of earnings, and are now floating about the country. As there was no Jaw for the issue of such acceptances, the parties holding them will have to submit to the loss. The Committee were not able to ascertain what had become of the money raised by the sale of the acceptances. The money was never used for government purposes, but bas been disposed of in some way by Floyd and bis gaog of awindlers, The transactions of Jobo B. Floyd prove him tobe the most cousummate and dariog villain that ever held a high position under the Government. Pony Newe,—The news by the last Pony, published in another column, is altogether of a pacific character, So far as appears, no particular exception has been taken to Lincoln’s policy, as laid down in his Inaugural, in the border States, and we may now reasonably indulge the hope that secession isatanend. The Gulf States may never return to the Union, but they are not likely to drag any more State into the ruinous policy they bave adopted. Tue U.S. steamer Wyoming arrived at San Franciseo on Tuesday, from Honolula. She was sent in search of the missing sloopof-war Levant, but brings no tidings of her fate. The Wyoming touched at Cocos and Chipperton Islands, and steamed through the low latitudes, and the convietion is now forced upon us that the Levant has gone down with all on board, AMENDMENTS TO THE CoysTITUTION.—In the Senate, on Tuesday, Mr. Sharp introduced a bill to reorganize the Judiciary of the State, by amending the Constitution, The bill provides that there shall be five Judges on the Supreme Bench, and abolishes the Court of Sessions, which are the most important changes from our present system. Sacramento Unton.—This paper completed its tenth year on Tuesday last—the firet number having been issued on the 19th of March, 1851, It has now a daily circulation of seven thousand copies, which is undoubledly greater than that of any other paper in the State. TeLeGRaPH TO OrEGoN.—A meeting was held at Portland, Oregon, on the 8th inst., aod a committee appointed to solicit subscriptions to extend the telegraph bine from that place to Yreka. The papers all favor the project.

One of the cemeteries ELECTION OF SENATOR. The Joint Convention of the two Houses, succeeded yesterday in electing a U. S. Senator, and the choice fell upon James A, McDougall, the regular nominee of the Douglas members, On Tuesday evening a caucus was held of members opposed to Merequisite nnmber of votes, and was declared the nominee, Forty-three members took part in this caucus, the result of which was to place McDougall and Nugent before the Convention as the leading candidates, and leaving members no further excuse to scatter their votes, The Republican members, with one exception, voted for McDougall, as they preferred him to Nugent. The election of McDougall verifies a jocose prediction said to have been made by Douglas during the early part of Jast summer—that the next President would come from Illinois ; that Baker would be elected Senator from Oregon, and McDougall from California. We had no special favorite for U. S. Senator, but do not think a better man than As o After the efforts to By dispatches to the Marysville papers of this morning, we learn that McDougall was elected on the fifth ballot, making twenty-three ballots in all. The vote as announced was—McDougall, 56; Nugent, 47, Tun Treaty between the United States and Nicaragua has not been ratified by the latter government, They say, now that the Union is divided, Nicaragua is a mateh for either the Northern or Southern States, and they want no treaty. The effective military force of Nicaragua is two generals four colonels, six lieutenant colonels, ninety non-commissioned officers, and two bundred and nivety-two rank and file. The Nicaraguans undoubtedly over estimate their own importance, but we shouldn’t laugh at them, for the Americans have the same failing. Tur New Loay.—The Goveroment Ioan of $25,000,009, authorized by the late Congress, will be issued if necessary in bonds of from $100 to $500, in order to bring them withio the* means of a large class of people who have small sums to invest. It is believed that the entire loan will be taken up long before the money will be wanted by the Gevernment. Dos ror a Sick ELeruant.—A dose of medicine, composed of two pounds of campbor dissolved in three gallons of whiskey, was given to Van Amburgh’s elephant ‘‘Hannibal,’’ not long since at Boston. The dose is about equal to twenty drops of the same mixture toa buman being. ‘Hannibal’’ is extravagantly fond of whisky. Tue Louistana AnmMy.—A private letter from New Orleans has lately been published, in whieh the writer says the city is full of soldiers, eolonels, generals and captains, The most of them have lived on luck for the last eight years, but are now fed on pork and beans by the State until they begin to look fat. a AsyLum Puysictans.—The Douglas members of the Legislature met in caucus last Monday evening, and nominated Dr. Tilden of Butte, for Resident Physician, and Dr. Clark, of El Dorado, for Visiting Physician of the Stockton Asylum. Ratsine THE PaLMerro,—A party of secessionists, one night last week, who preferred darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil, raised a Palmetto flag at the old Mission, near San Francisco. It was taken down the next morning. Ex.orep.—Mrs. Harry Courtaine, the actress, whose domestic troubles have long been kept before the public, eloped last Tuesday, with one Edmonds, & musician. They took passage for Australia on the bark Robert Passenger. — To ng Consecratep.—tThe S. F. Call says: sion, will b8 consecrated in the early part of this week. As disunion is the order of the day, the Israelites of San Franeistvo, are not behind the times.

The new Administration is proceeding harmoniously. Members of the Cabinet have been confirmed as follows: Ww. H. Seward, of N. Y., Secretary of State. S. P. Chase, of Ohio, Secretary of the Treasury. Simon Cameron, of Pa., Secretary of War. Gideon Wells, of Conn., Secretary of the . Navy. Montgomery Blair, of Md., Postmaster General. Caleb B. Smith, of Ind., Secretary of the Interior, Edward Bates, of Mo., Attorney General. A few Senators voted against Blair and Bates because they were from the Soutb. The Senate still contioued in Executive session. Douglas takes the position that the Inaugural Message is peaceful, and he and Crittenden bad telegraphed to that effect to the Virginia Convention, urging that State not to secede. The Inaugural was at first looked upon in the South as meaning war, and great excitement was produced even antong Union men. But matters looked more quiet when the Pony left. There have been no hostile demonstrations as yet. Crawford, Forsyth, and Ro man, Envoys of the Cotton Confederacy, were in Washington at latest dates, and were about to make known their views to the Government. Texas has adopted the secession ordinance by a large majority, The Virginia and Missouri Conventions had taken no definite action. Returns indicate that the Union men have carried North Carolina. The Arkansas Convention had elected Union officers, Crittenden is spoken of for Judge of the Supreme Court, but is opposed by Trumbull and others. Judd, of Illinois, bas been appointed Minister to Berlin. F. W. Howard is Assistant Secretary of State. Major Anderson and Col. Sumner are spoken of for Twiggs’ place. Dispatches from Fort Sumpter state that Major Anderson is all right. Twiggs was enthusiastically received at New Orleaas, on the evening of March 5th, The U.S. Treasurer at New orleans had refused to pay Secretary Dix’s draft for work done ou the Custom House. Col. Lee, aid and confidential friend of Gen. Scott, had resigned his commissson iu the army aod returned to Virginia, Ex-President Buchanan arrived at Wheatland, and had a formal reception at Harrisburg. Floyd had arrived at Washington to stand trial. It is understood that the action of the Border States is witheld for correct understanding of the policy of the administration, If it proves not to be coercive then the result is doubtful. it is reported that Lincoln stated toa Southern gentleman that the Inaugural meant peace, Crittenden, in response toa serenade, urged his friends to stand by the Union. The people alone, he said, can setile the question, Adjutant General Cooper and Assistant Adjutant General Withers bave resigued. Cassius M. Clay, itis reported, will be Minister to Mexico, It is reported that Jeff. Davis had senta Secretary and Agent there, It is asserted that Gov. Houston has resigned, The army interest oppose the promotion . of Maj. Anderson. Dispatches show Twiggs received orders reducing his command, before his surrender of Government property. MASSACHUSETTS AND THE UNION.—It having been announced in some of the Boston papers, that the Governor had dispatched Lieutenant Colonel H. Ritchie, one of his aides, to Washington, to tender to the President the services of the Massachusetts Volunteer Militia, and this statement having been extensively copied, with various comments, by the press throughout the country, we are requested to ive the same a formal denial. The resolves of the Legislature tendering to the President such aid in men and money as he might require to maintain the authority of the National Government, were approved on the 23d of January, and transmitted to the President, by mail, on the same day. No tender of aid has been made to the President by the Governor in any other manner, or at any other time; and the mission of Lieutenant Colonel Ritchie had a different object, and was not to the President.—[ Boston Transeript. Sxow ON THE Poxy Roure.—The Salt Lake correspondent of the Euterprise, writes: Ephraim Hanks has just come into the of. Fugitive Stave Law.—The following is an abstract of the amendment to the act for the rendition of fugitives from Jabor, reported in Corwin’s eompromise plan, aod which, we believe has become a law: Every person arrested shall be produced before = Court, Judge or Commissioner for the State or Territory where the arrest is made, such Court to proceed to hear and consider the same publicly, and if such Court, etc., is of the opinion that the person arrested owes labor or service to the claimants, according to the laws of the State or Territory; and has escaped therefrom; the Court, etc., shall deliver to the claimant or his agent a certificate of such facts, and if such fugitive avers that he is free, such averment shall be entered on the certificate, and the fugitive shall be delivered to the Marshal of the State from which the fugitive is ascertained to have fled, who shall produce the said fugitive before one of the Judges of the Circuit Court for the last mentioned State, who shall cause a juto be impanneled, to try whether such fugitive owes labor or service, being entitled to the aid of counsel, and to process for procuring evidence at the cost of the United States; and upon such finding the Judge shall render judgment, causing the fugitive to be delivered to the claimant, or returned to the place where arrested, at the expense of the Government. If the Judge is not satisfied with the verdict he mayfcause an other jury to try forthwith, whose verdict shall be final. The act also imposes a fine of $1,000 on the Marshal for refusing to fulfil his duty, and no citizen is compelled to aid the Marshal or owner in the capture unless force is employed to rescue the fugitive frem the Marshal. The fee of the Commissioner is fixed at ten dollars. By the old law, the Commissioner received a fee if he remanded the alleged fugitive into slavery, but was paid nothing if he set him free. Anizona.—A correspondent of the Bulletin, writing from Tucsoo, Arizona, alludes . to the secession movement in that region, epoken of in our last: The people of this section, though generally Southern in feeling, ore for the Union, provided the differences that now agitate the country can . be honorably adjusted, and are adverse to forming any alliance with the Southern Confederacy . till all hope of settlement is abandoned. The Americans in Mesilla Valley, on the Rio Grande, are anxious to precipitate Arizona into the Southern League; and it isis proposed to hold a Convention there on the 16th instant, to . take measures for annexing Arizona, either as . a sovereign State or Territory. The Pacific slope of the Territory will not be represented. Waar ark Tury?—On Thursday evening we observed the surface of the snow pretty generally covered with a singular sort of little worm of a dark color, nearly black, about as thick as a common knitting-needle, and measuring onehalf to aninch in length. These worms (we know no other name by which to designate them;) appear to be full of activity, creepin over the snow with considerable rz pidity, an squirming about like other worms. We hada light fall of rain on Thursday, and as these worms were not observed prior to the shower it is thought by some, with whom we have conversed, that they came down with the rain.— [Mountain Messenger. Bioop Vessets Rurtvurep.—On Monday last, says the San Juan Press, while Mr. Joy was engaged in sliding down a very steep bank, timber to be used in constructing sluices for . the Knickerbocker claims, his foot slipped, and . he fell, rupturing a large b!ood vessel, located . just below the knee. A physician was called in and the patient is doing well. Farat AccipENnT.—A little girl, four years of age, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Canfield, . who reside a short distance below Visalia, was drowned on Thursday last by falling in a well near the house.

Fugitive Stave Law.—The following is an abstract of the amendment to the act for the rendition of fugitives from Jabor, reported in Corwin’s eompromise plan, aod which, we believe has become a law: Every person arrested shall be produced before = Court, Judge or Commissioner for the State or Territory where the arrest is made, such Court to proceed to hear and consider the same publicly, and if such Court, etc., is of the opinion that the person arrested owes labor or service to the claimants, according to the laws of the State or Territory; and has escaped therefrom; the Court, etc., shall deliver to the claimant or his agent a certificate of such facts, and if such fugitive avers that he is free, such averment shall be entered on the certificate, and the fugitive shall be delivered to the Marshal of the State from which the fugitive is ascertained to have fled, who shall produce the said fugitive before one of the Judges of the Circuit Court for the last mentioned State, who shall cause a juto be impanneled, to try whether such fugitive owes labor or service, being entitled to the aid of counsel, and to process for procuring evidence at the cost of the United States; and upon such finding the Judge shall render judgment, causing the fugitive to be delivered to the claimant, or returned to the place where arrested, at the expense of the Government. If the Judge is not satisfied with the verdict he mayfcause an other jury to try forthwith, whose verdict shall be final. The act also imposes a fine of $1,000 on the Marshal for refusing to fulfil his duty, and no citizen is compelled to aid the Marshal or owner in the capture unless force is employed to rescue the fugitive frem the Marshal. The fee of the Commissioner is fixed at ten dollars. By the old law, the Commissioner received a fee if he remanded the alleged fugitive into slavery, but was paid nothing if he set him free. Anizona.—A correspondent of the Bulletin, writing from Tucsoo, Arizona, alludes . to the secession movement in that region, epoken of in our last: The people of this section, though generally Southern in feeling, ore for the Union, provided the differences that now agitate the country can . be honorably adjusted, and are adverse to forming any alliance with the Southern Confederacy . till all hope of settlement is abandoned. The Americans in Mesilla Valley, on the Rio Grande, are anxious to precipitate Arizona into the Southern League; and it isis proposed to hold a Convention there on the 16th instant, to . take measures for annexing Arizona, either as . a sovereign State or Territory. The Pacific slope of the Territory will not be represented. Waar ark Tury?—On Thursday evening we observed the surface of the snow pretty generally covered with a singular sort of little worm of a dark color, nearly black, about as thick as a common knitting-needle, and measuring onehalf to aninch in length. These worms (we know no other name by which to designate them;) appear to be full of activity, creepin over the snow with considerable rz pidity, an squirming about like other worms. We hada light fall of rain on Thursday, and as these worms were not observed prior to the shower it is thought by some, with whom we have conversed, that they came down with the rain.— [Mountain Messenger.
