The act provides that no person baving a busband, wife, child or parent, shall, by will, give more than half of bis or her property to any benevolent, charitable, lit erary, scientific, religious or missionary 80clety, association or corporation, in trast or otherwise. Any gift of more than one half is void as to the excess, Mason Joun B. Scorr, of the 3d Artillery, U.S. Army, died at San Francisco on Thurs day last. His health bad long been failing, and bis friends were not unpreparad for his death, Major Scott wasa native of Connecticut, edacated at West Point, and entered the army in 1821, He served in the Seminole war, distinguished himself at Palo Alta and Resacca, and was promoted for his gallantry.

Thompson, of Nevada county, will be a candidate for Sergeant-at-Arms of the next Assembly.

Pony Express.—In consequence of the failure of the Post Office Department to order weelily trips the Pony schedule will be changed on the first ef December, as follows: From St. Joseph to San Francisco, fifteen days; between telegraph stations, eleven days. S. F. Mrrror.—We have heretofore neglected to notiee that the San Francisco Evening Mirror has been enlarged.

Putri Sorg Turoat.—Good fresh yeast, taken internally, is said to be a sovereign remedy for putrid sore throat, It is claimed that it will give almost instant relief. to ‘accomplish that result in order to give the Cotton States an excuse for seceding. They may have mistaken the sentiments of ne Southern pegple. Senator Gwin undoubtedly mistook the popular sentiment in California, when he announced that this State would secede from the Union in the event of a Republican being elected to the Presidency ; and otber disunionists may have been as much at fault as Gwin when . dy and guardianship of Wm.

Tue Secession Excirement.—The Sacramento Union of yesterday has dispatches vane vs. Carmack.—Demurrer to plaintitf’s . they inaugurated the programme to insure . from St. Louis, reeeived by Pony Express, Lincoln's election. The disunion politicians have so often repeated the assertion that they have come to believe it themselves, that a disruption of the Confederacy would completely ruin the to November 15th. The secession excitement appears to be on the increase, and it is believed by many that South Carolina . <, Conven. Si tions have been called by the Legislatures . will “slide? out of the Uuion. North and build up the South ; and this be-. of Virginia, Georgia, Alabama and Missislief is undoubtedly almost ubiversal in the . Cotton States. Gov. Pettus, of Mississippi, stated not long since in a published letter, tbat in less than six months after the Union was dissolved one balf of the people of New England would be in the poor house. Senator Hammond, in one of his speeches in the Senate, said that the Northern people derived their priveipal means of subsistence from the profits of shipping cotton to Europe. About the time the bolting took place from the Democratic Convention at Charleston, a prominent follower of Yancey atated in » speech in that city, that a dissolution would make Charleston a great commercial emporium, and that it would soon sippi; but whatever may be done in other . Southern States, little fear peed be entertained that any serious disunion movement will be uodertaken in Virginia. The agiaffairs and decline of stocks amount toa panic. There was a report in New York that the Bank of South Carolina bad suspended specie payment, but this was contradicted by a later dispatch. One dispatch says “South Carolina wil} shatter the accursed Union if she cannot accomplish her . ends otherwise.”’ There were rumors at Washington that Cobb and Thompson intended to resign, and that Floyd and Black contain a population of over two hundre@ . would resign if the Federal power was used thousand inhabitants. These and similar statements bave been so often reiterated by disunion politicians that they are now taken to coerce the States. A’Convention of the Cotton States, for the pucpose of adopting non-intercourse measures agaiost the North for granted by the Southern people, aod . was talked of; but the efforts to get up such unless they ehould succeed in dissolving the . a Convention, it was thought, would prove Union they may never find out how sadly/a failure.

A person, ther, who purchases the tract after an inchoate righs bas attached on the part of the settler, under the doctrine of caveat entptor, does Fo at his . owa risk. It would be unjust and oppressive to force a settler to incur the expense of notice to a litigation with a persou who has purchased his elaim after the preemption right bad attached. The rule adopted will therefore not be disturbed. PORE AOE EE nn Tye CalaverasChronicle justly complains of Senator Latbam for “mounting his carts’ yostrum and silently stealing away,” in the early part of the campaign. Mr. Latham is altogether too smart to fervently — the cause of a minority party. He will Tot remain with the Secession party two minutes after Ijpcolon kicks Buchanan out of ‘the Presidential chair ou the 4th of March next. He’s a brilliant young Dipper, without fixed principles, or a mind of his own. [Butte Record.

Uron tur Trousse» Warters.—The steamer Brother Jonathan, on a late trip from Victoria to Portland, Oregon, encountered so furious a gale at the mouth of the Columbia that she could not attempt to cross the bar. On the fellowing morning the bar was again approached, and finally crossed, but not until old Neptune’s ruffled spirits were smoothed to placidity by the pouring overboard of a vast quautity of oill. Capt. Staples, of the Jonathan, says that in his maritime life of seventeen years he never encountered a more boisterous period at sea. Trt-WEEKLY MaiL.—A contract to carry the mail tri-weekly, between Marysville and middie of the river, where it was about twentyfive feet deep. Amid the general crash he arose, there being s) shot his head from the water, exclaimed, “Here Tam!” and pretty soon scrambled upon the floating mass, entirely unhurt. A most miraculous cones: The driver of the vegetable wamn sat in his cart, drawn by two horses, and repped the whole distance from top to bottom without losing his equilibrium, a distance of about thirty or forty feet. The fallen mass buoyed him and his horses above the water, and he and they got ashore without trouble.
