Kra i’S « CHERRY PECTORAL For the Cure of COVGHS, COLDS, HOARSENESS, BRON CHITIS, CROUP, ASTH MA, WHOOPING-COUGH AND CONSUMPTION. AMONG THE NUMEROUS discoveries Science has made in this generation to facilitate the businc.ts of life—increase it- enjoyment, and even prolong the . term of human existence, none can be named of more real value to ma’.kind, than this contribution of Chem istry to the Ueaiing Art. A vait trial of its virtues ! throughout this broad country, has proven, beyond a ' doubt, that no medicine or combination of medicines i yet known, can so surely control and cure the nunier- i ous varieties of pulmonary disease which have hitherto I •wept from our midst thousand* and thousands every i year. Indeed, there isaow abundant reason to believe j a Remedy h : at length been found which can be relied ! on to cute the most dangerous affections of the lungs. ! Our space here w ill not permit us to publish any pro portion of the vires affected by its u*e, but we would . present the following opinions of eminent men, and re- ■ fer further inquiry to the circular whlbh the Agent he- I low pained, will always be pleased to furnish free. ‘ wherein are full particulars, and indisputable proof of ' these facts. From the President of Amherst College. the celebrated : Prof sxor Hitchcock. James C. Ayer—Sir: I have used your Cheruy Pec- ' tokat. in my own case of deep-seated Bronchitis, and j ana satisfied, from its chemical constitution, tluit it is an I admirable compound for the reiief of laryngial and I bronchial difficulties.

The first one taken up was the one for the passage, the yeas were 2. and nays 29. The second was for the pardon of Brinkley > Bishop, of Bibb.

Faris and Tumlin constitute the Sub- ' Committee from the Committee of the Senate, to scrutinize the affairs of the State Road. Some discussion was had on a resolution to present Judges Wayne and Nichol with the vol umes of Supreme Court Reports, already pub lished, and to be published. It prevailed, how- i ever, by a vote of 21 to 12. Milledgeville, Nov. 18, 1851. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The House took up the special order of the * day, being the bill introduced by Mr. Milledge for appropriating SBOOO for repairing and fur- ( nishing Executive Mansion. On motion, the ' 8000 were struck out. and 4000 inserted. Mr. i Milledge offered an additional section, which was , adopted, that the sum appropriated should be 1 expended by the Chairman of the Committee, under the supervision oi the Governor. The bill passed as amended. On motion of Mr. Bartow, Mr. Clark, of Stew art, was added to the Committee on Internal Im- j provements. A bill for the relief of Executors, Administra- I . ■ tors, and Guardians.providing for their dismission ; | in certain cases, before full administration, was 1 ]tassed. | A bill to revise and amend the Judiciary sys- , ; tern of this State, after undergoing considerable ■ 1 debate, in which Messrs. McDougald, Henry, ( i Russell. Hill of Troup, Mobley, and Thurmond, > participated, was postponed indefinitely, by a j vote of 102 to 12. ; The bill to extend the charter of the State i Bank was opposed by Mr. Tift, who was an swered by Mr. Bartow. It was passed by a I large majority. SENATE. The Senate resumed the consideration of the special unfinished order of yesterday, being the i bill for the pardon of certain individuals convict ; ed of murder. The first was the bill for the pardon of Gar land D. Cornet, of Morgan, which was passed by Iyeas 21. nays 13. The next was the bill for the pardon of James 9 I Johnson, of Baldwin. . On Mr. McCune's motion, to permit additional and extrajudicial testimony to be read to the Sen . ete. the yeas were 22, nays 15. The testimony I being read, and the biff put upon its passage, the ’ years were 31, nays 4. On motion, both of the foregoing bills were or t dered to lie forthwith carried to the House. Senate bills of the House,read the first time: B : The bill to change the time of meeting of the : General Assembly from Ist Monday’ in Novem r ber to the 3d. was lost. The bill providing for striking out the words I ‘’being a seaport or port of entry.’’ from the Ist - section and 3d article of the Constitution of this State, was passed unanimously : ■ The Senate employed the afternoon in the read ? ing of bills the second time. & Milledgeville. Nov. 19, 1851 The business of both branches of the Legisla ture. transacted to-day*, can be told in a lew words. In the House. An unsuccessful attempt was made to recon sider the bill passed on yesterday, for the reliei of Executors, Administrators, and Guardians.— The remainder of the day. until candle light, was spent in discussions on the contested elec tion from Jasper county. The majority repoit declared the sitting members not entitled to theii P seats, but that the contesting members. Messrs. Blackwell and Lane, were. The minority oi the Committee reported that the sitting mem le bers only, were entitled to hold seats in the Le gislature. Towards the close of the debate, the 'b minority report was withdrawn, and a substitu te offered for the other report, referring the elec tion back to the people of Jasper, which wai ' t lost by a vote of J 4 yeas to 91 navs. Final i the majority report was adopted.} by yeas 92 nays 21. Consequently Messrs. Williams am Baynes will have to yield their seats to Messrs Blackwell and Lane, unless* the whole matter bi reconsidered to-morrow, and reversed, which i: very problematical. In the Senate. ‘ The Senate transacted a good deal oi busines of a local nature, besides reading many bills th second time.

The bill to incorporate the Atlanta, Augusta & s Nashville Magnetic Telegraph Company, was passed. ’ The bill to protect the rights of married wo men, is the special order for Monday, the Ist December. Milledgeville, Nov. 20, 1801. 6 The House was engaged from 10 to nearly half 1 past 12, to-day, in debating a motion made by Mr. ’ M’Dougald to re-consider that portion of the J our s nal of yesterday, that contains the final vote on ' the report of the Committee on Privileges and Elections. On a vote be taken, the yeas were ’ 26, and nays 88. The question being decided that Messrs. Blackwell and Lane are the legally ’ elected Representatives from the county of Jas ’ per, the latter gentleman came forward, and was 5 duly qualified by the Speaker. The other gen tleman, I am informed, is confined at home, by r sickness. ’ I Mr. Hill introduced a bill to abolish Slaugh ter’s Precinct, in Jasper county. The bill of the Senate, permitting the Board ’ of Physicians of this State, to hold their annual , meetings in Milledgeville, or “ any other place | within the State they may appoint,” was j passed.

To appropriate money, as a Contingent Fund, . 1 for the political years 1852 and 1853, and also to pay arrearages on said fund for 1851. The Senate has also passed a number of bills of a local nature. Milledgeville, Nov. 21, 1851. Much of this morning was occupied in the House, in vain efforts of the friends of the pro- , posed Ochlockonee Circuit, to get it through the House. The Senate bill, creating two new Ju dicial Circuits, “Blue Ridge” and “Macon.” being up, Mr. McDougald moved an amendment creating a new Judicial Circuit, to be composed of the counties of Baker, Decatur, Thomas, ] Lowndes, Irwin, Ware, and Clinch, to be called the Ochlockonee Circuit. The Chair ruled j that the motion was out of order, as it was in- | troducing new matter. Mr. Seward then moved to strike out “ two from the caption of the bill and insert "three” which was lost. After some discussion, it was agreed, upon the motion of Mr. Seward, to suspend action ujxm the Senate I bill, and take up one progressing through the 1 House, providing for the creation of three Judi cial Circuits. Blue Ridge. Macon } and Ochlockonee Circuits. This bill underwent considerable discussion in which Messrs. McDougald and Seward advo- ' cated the passage of the bill, and Messrs. Tift, Robinson, ot Macon, Thurmond, Hill, of Troup J and Meriwether, opposed it. The bill was lost; — 1 I ’ ' The' considerations the Senate bill was then q resumed. Mr. McDougald moved that so much ! • of the bill as related to the Macon Circuit, should < be stricken out. Before a vote was taken on this ( motion, the House adjourned to 3, P. M.

Platt, as before stated, is estimated at sls.ooo—insurance $8000; that of Dr. Wm. S. Jones, $15,000 —no insurance, and that of Mr. Hoadley,ss,ooo—insu rance about $2,000. Mr. Platt’s insurance was effected in the South ern Mutual Insurance Company. The community deeply sympathizes with the sufferers, as in the case of two of them, the loss is heavy, particularly at a time of so much pe cuniary pressure as the present. Our neighbor of the Chronicle & Sentinel suc ceeded in saving only a small press, and a part of the type. His loss is very serious, and it af fords an impressive reason for those who may be indebted to him to aid him with prompt pay ments. . been ch’*7■<’. with only-Trit mwiu.■....... roof of Cabinet Factory /if there had been an abundant supply of water. This seri ous casualty shows the necessity of an abundant supply being afforded the city from our Canal. Hit wind was lulled during the whole time ef.the fire, which lasted for some nine or ten hojjrs. Never have -.Ve seen our Fire Companies ex ert themsvJ'. es more bravely and nobly, than on this occasion. They toiled for many long hours to extinguish the devouring flame, against all the difficulties that beset them. The Hamburg Company was also upon the ground, and render ed the rn-jst persevering and efficient service. Our citizens owe them a debt ot gratitude for their services. Mr. Platt's Fire Engine, attach ed to his Factory, was also in full and useful play, but the want of water rendered the exer tions of all. in a considerable degree, abortive. It was evident, from this case of fire, that a Hook and Ladder Company is wanting in our city. A number of persons endangered heir lives in ascending the weak and defective ’ad ders which were used on the occasion. We cannot omit to mention the liberal and no ble minded conduct of Mrs. Platt, throughout the whole evening and night. she kept open doors, and furnished refreshments to the fire com panies and others till the exciting and dangerous scene was over. Mr. William J. Eve set an example worthy of following. He resides out of town, but as soon as he heard of the fire he sent his wagon, six horses, and a number of negroes; to render assis tance in removing Furniture. &c. The assis tance rendered by him will be long remembered by the sufferers. # Mr. Roe, who we noticed in our last as being dangerously injured by the tailing of a portion ol Mr. Headley's wall, we are gratified to learn was better last evening, and hopes are enter tained of his recovery. This was the most disastrous fire which has occurred in our city for many years. Such is the praiseworthy and efficient organization of our fire ; companies that the fire would have been earlier checked but for the insufficient supply of water. Another .Fire ’ About seven o'clock, last evening, we had anothei alarm of Fire, which was found to pro- ' ceed frcm a wood house ot Mr. A. Frederick, on Ellis Sheet. It was, however, soon mastered, and bui little damage was done, further than consuming the shed in which it occurred, and some eight or ten cords of wood. The fire was evidently, the work of an incendiary. Death of Mr. Roe. It is «ur painful duty to announce this, morn ing. the death of Mr. Bernard Roe, First Lieut. i of the 2d Division of the Augusta Independent Fire Company. We mentioned in Wednesday's paper that he was serimsly injured by the falling of the wall of Mr. Headley's brick building. He lingered until lastevening. after having received the best medical aid our city affords. He leaves liehind him a institute family, and we sincerely hope our citizrns, one and all. will give prompt assis tance tc hist brother firemen, in relieving his family ir this, their hour of distress. As ha been already stated by our Telegraphic Correspndent. the Rev. Arch Bishop Kenrick ' was invested on Sunday last, at Baltimore. wi.h the Palljim at High Pontifical mass, and will now enfrr fully upon the duties of his office as Roman Catholic Bishop of Baltimore. The Pallium* simply a little garment placed upon the neck of the Bisliop. and extending over the back cb! breast. It is made of white wool, with crosses r.serted of black wool, both being of the natural color. It is stated, that to procure the wool tot this purpose, iambs of these colors are constantly kept at Rome, from which the staple is obtained. The Pallium is always buried with its posstßsor. The Baltimore Sun believes that the one just bestowed, was brought to this coun try bv a lady to whom the Pope entrusted it for conveyance. Regatta of all Nations. The soreness of defeat etill shows itself in the members of the nautical profession in England, in consequence of the American triumphs in ' the recent Yacht race. The idea of superiority in ar. v form or degree on the element which has been the great theatre of British eminence, is i not to endured. Pre-eminent Las been the • only word admitted in the English caval vo oabulary. whilst measuring the relative merits VOL. LXV.—NEW SERIES VOL. XV.—NO. 48 ;- , of building, navigating or fighting ships. This n term has lost its spell, which kept other nations j from the field of competition, and silently resign- J |ed the superiority so one. The la* jst propo- I sition to test the relative merits of different coun ts ■ tries has been made by proposing a { rand Re s gatta of all nations which as the grer . Exhibi- ■ i tion brought all the industrial capacities of I countries into rivalry, so a Regatta, including ■ all, will bring into competition their maritime , capabilities. A British officer proposes this ’ scheme in the following terms: 1 “In England, the gre. test naval power the - ■ world ever knew, to herself beaten in her own element? Our security, perhaps our very existence as a free nation, depends » pon our naval superiority. < Our pre-eminence as a com mercial people will in future depend greatly i upon the speed of our ships. Let us then chal lange the whole world to complete with us in naval architecture at a regatta of all na : tions—comprehending men-oi-war, merchant 1 ships, and yachts—in like manner as we have ■ done this year in arts, sciences, and manufac ; tures. Let the different kinds of vessels be classed, and let every vessel which enters for the competition pay a certain sum of money to wards a grand vase for the winning nation (hav ing an appropriate inscription) as a national trophy to be placed in its academy of arts. Os course there might be, in addition, other prizes, honorary or otherwise, for each class. I will venture to say that such a grand regatta of all nations would do more to improve shipbuilding • in one year, than it has been improved, compaia tively, for the last hundred years.” (From the Albany Cultivator.) Flax-Cotton zud Linen. There appears to be good reason for believing that the discoveries and experiments of Claussen and others, in regard to the spinning and manu facture of flax by machinery, will result in im portant improvements. Fabrics have already been produced in England from Cotton prepared by M. Claussen's process, specimens ot which, and the cotton in various states, have been sent to this country. An editorial article in the New York Tribune, speaking of these articles, says : “ The simply dressed fibre is as clean, as fine, as soft, as strong, as easily spun as any Sea Island Cotton, and is said to cost but nine farthings (less than five cents) per pound in England. That it would produce a fabric every way equal to the best bleached shirtings or sheetings, we have no doubt.” In relation to the flax-cotton fabrics, it is said—“they are at once elegant and serviceable, especially a pantaloon stuff closely resembling satinet.” And of the specimens of the dyed flax ■ cotton, it is said they are ‘‘perfect, proving the; capacity of this staple to take the most delicate tints as well as the most vivid colors.” It should be here stated, that the prepared flax possesses decided felting properties, and may be formed into fabrics in combination with wool. Specimens of these fabrics, consisting of flannel and broadcloth, of various colors, and said to pos sess remarkable strength and beauty, have been exhibited by M. Claussen ai London. Mr. M. B. Bateham, of the Ohio Cultivator, writes from London that M. Claussen has dis posed ot his right to use his process in the U. States, and that arrangements are in progress for the production of the flax-cotton here. Mr. B. suggests that farmers who are growing flax for seed, should save the straw, alter the seed is threshed out, in anticipation of its becoming valuable. He states that the machinery which M. Claussen uses for reducing the straw to a suitable condition for market, is very simple, consisting merely of a series of iron rollers, pro- -j ? polled by horse or other power, which so crush and break the woody portions of the straw, that by shaking, or “scutching” it can be mostly separated Irom the fibre, and is made ready tor the chemical process which prepares it for spinning. While the experiments above alluded to have been going on abroad, others of a not less inter esting nature have been made in our own coun try. Dr. O. S. Leavitt, of Maysville, Ky., has I invented a process for spinning unrotted flax and hemp by machinery. By this process he states that "linen tine enough for the oest shirt linen can be produced from the uurotted hemp, while the unrotted tlax will be run to the very finest num bers.” It is not designed by this process to bring flax and hemp into a couditon resembling cotton, but to preserve the peculiar qualities of those articles in the fabrics produced from them. The inven tor is sanguine in the belief that “linen can be produced as cheap as cotton goods of the same fineness, when raw cotton is not less than seven cents per pound.” He says: “There caji be no doubt but, in Claussen’s pro cess, a valuable substitute for cotton can be pro duced from flax, and these two processes render ait the wo: Id ijdepenrtcqt of the .-SirwAiaToiitfu 1 in Ine very condition most convenient for the farmer, and in which he can produce the greatest quantity.” Dr. L. states that a charter has been obtained I from the legislature of Kentucky, for the incor ' poratron of the Maysville Lineq Company, and * that the practicability of his process is about to be tested on a large scale. ! The following is a summary of the principal : points claimed to have been gained by Dr. L.’s : invention. 1. The use of unrotted hemp and flax, being I mowed or cradled, and not pulled, thus saving the great expense of rotting and breaking. : 2. The ability to run the coarsest and most rigid hemp or flax, to the finest numbers. 3. The saving of the heretofore expensive heckling process, using a machine which removes I from the shives the lumps and short fibres as they pass through. 4. Making not more than half the tow usual. 5. Securing uniformity and certainty of full strength of fibre, and greater consequent durabili- : ty of the fabrics. | 6. Rendering the bleaching remarkably cheap > and simple, where it is 7. Doing away entirely with the offensive smell and unwholesome air, now-a source of such ! universal complaint in flax mills. India Cotton and Manufactures. The last letter of the Lonflon correspondent of the National Intelligencer, give* us the follow ing items concerning the cultivation ot cotton and manufactures in India . “The annual crop *f cotton, and the ability of different countries to furnish the raw material to the manufacturers of England, is every day becoming a subject of increasing importance. The capacity *1 India to furnish this raw ma terial to a considerable extent, has ne\ er been doubted; but hitherto there have been great difficulties in forwarding it from the place of growth to the port oi shipment for Europe. These difficulties are, however, rapidly dimin ishing. and the quantity received thence in Eng land, has increased from 70.000,000 pounds weight, in 1849, to nearly 120.000,000 pounds in 1850 . the former being about nine per cent, of the whole quantity imported into England, ' .i i .a .. i a • _la„ the latter about eighteen per cent, of that impor tation. The proportion this year will be still larger. The Great Britain Exhibition, which has just closed, has not only presented numerous samples of the raw cotton of India, but has also shown i us the great degree of perlection to which the natives of that country have, by mere manual operation, unassisted almost entirely by Euro pean science and mechanism, brought their man ufactures of cotton. Muslin tissues have been exhibited, ten yards long and one yard wide, ; weighing only 3 oz. 2 dwts. each, and capable of being passed through a wedding-ring. They are literally of a gossamer texture, and more re semble what might be the work of fairies than the produce ol human fingers. We have, in deed. hitherto known more ol the low and de ceitful politics and contemptible policy of the rulers, both native and European, of India, than of the patience and industry, tne mterm.ly and skill, the social arts and admirable ability of the people. The exhibition has given a new turn to our thoughts. India will henceforward re ceive a large additional share of the attention of the merchants and manufacturers of England, as well as more of the fostering care of the Govern ment. and the benevolent regards of philanthro pists, and of all who really wish to improve the condition of a hundred millions of human beings. India has been renowned for her muslin fabrics for more than sixteen hundred years; yet how few of the six millions of the visitors to the Crystal Palace evei before possessed the means of beholding a sample of those fabrics! It is not probable, however, that these cobweb-like tissues, beautiful and wonderful as they are, w ill i produce any great effect upon the general distri bution of the trade and commerce of the world. They, as well as many other proofs <f the skill and capability of the natives which the Exhibi tion contained, cannot fail to excite an endeavor to turn that skill and capability to a more protit ble purpose tnan they have hitherto been em ployed in; thereby improving the condition of the people and adding to the resources of the British empire. Parliament will, undoubtedly, during the next session, earnestly take up the affairs of India, particularly with respect to the produce of cotton and the means of facilitating its importation to Europe; and, although the manufacturers of Manchester and Bolton must, for several years to come, under any circum stances, rely for the principal portion of the raw . material upon the United States, it is equally true that eve?jt year will find them more and more independent of the casualties which may arise from their being dependent upon a single ■ market. It must also be borne in mind that - there is every year a remarkable increase in the consumption of cotton fabrics, and there is as little chance of raw cotton becoming a drug in the market, thiough an undue proportion be tween its supply and the demand tor it. as there is of gold becoming too plentiful from the dis covery of the rich mines of California and Au stralia. / ■ Mrs. Forrest, it is positively stated, has con s eluded an engagement with Mr. Brougham, o .

San Diego, Los Angelos, San Louis I Obispo, Santa Barbara, Monterey, and Sank ; Cruz, have by this time selected their delegates ' While the Capital was at Vallejos, Santa Clara I County was strongly in favor of the new move i nient. This included all the coast counties from . San Francisco county down to the Peninsular. But the removal of the Capital back to San Jose, has effectually ouieted the citizens of that lovely valley, and we near of no action whatever hav ing been taken as yet by them towards a repres entation in the Convention. Meanwhile they are pushing the enterprise of a railroad between San Francisco and themselves. The inhabitants of Stockton are to hold a meeting to select Representatives from San Joa quin : but we doubt it the great Southern Mining V alley will take much interest in the affair. An Address is to be prepared by the Convention for circulation, and a petition for division is to be written for presentation to our Legislature at an early day. Such is the majority which the Democratic party hold in that body, that we look for divis ions among them, and doubtless the Southern party, holding the balance of power, will be put off from time to time, in order to be used for the purpose of securing the passage of other measures The successful candidate for Senator jyill doubt less have had to pledge himsell to use his influence in Congress In favor of a division to se CUIC election.— Gregorifs Express News Letter. United States and Spain—Difficulties Adjusted.—The Waehington correspondent of the New York Journal of Commerce communi cates the following information: With great satisfaction I may inform you that the negotiation with Spain, through the Spanish Minister, Don. A. Calderon de la Barca, is about to come to a favorable conclusion. The Presi dent has finally concurred in all the views taken by Mr. Webster on the subject of the proper mode and extent of the redress due to Spain.— Some of the formalities suggested by Mr. Cal deron, and which have been the subject of much unnecessary remark in the newspapers, were objected to by Mr. Webster, and the President sustains him in those objections. But in the propositions that Mr. Webster recommended, the President concurs. Distinct overtures are now, therefore made to Mr. Calderon, and they are supposed to be of such l a character that will meet ail the views of his Government, and w hich will be unobjectionable to the American public. What is offered cannot be considered as too much; but, on the contrary, it is as little as we can possibly offer as a repara tion to an insulted Government and nation. The overtures are now before Mr. Calderon, and it is presumed that he will accept them. He may require some modifications, but none that will be inconsistent with the views of this Government. Ina few days, therefore, we may hail with plea sure, a restoration of friendly relations with Spain. The immediate consequence will be the restoral ion of the American prisoners, and the abandonment of proceedings against Mr. Thrash er, and all Americans who have had, or who have been suspectsd of having, any connection with the late attempt at insurrection in Cuba. (Telegraphed for the Baltimore Sun.) Arrival of Steamer Dantel Webster.—eleven day* later from California. New-York, Nov. 16,11 P. M. The steamer Daniel Webster arrived at her wharf here to-night at 11 o’clock. She brings four hundred passengers, and one hundred and ! seventeen thousand dollars worth of gold, on freight, and about a half million dollars in the j hands of passengers. The Daniel Webster has come via San Juan. ’ —She brings California dates to the 15th of Oct. i being eleven days later than what has heretofore ' been received. She experienced terrible gales | for several days, in which her paddle boxes were i carried away. She, however, weathered the storm nobly, to the praise of all on board. The steamer Central America, at last accounts, had made twenty-five miles up the San Juan river. The steamer Director had capsized on the San Juan river, and seven persons were unfortu nately drowned. The general news from California is not very important.

New dis coveries of gold were daily being made. Quartz mining attracts great attention. ' The steamer California, from San Francisco, took out $1,000,000 in gold dust. Two other steamers took large amounts. The receipts into the treasury for fines, taxes and licenses were $60,000. Crime was increasing and many criminals were returning from the interior. Five of the Port Oxford Exploring Expedition had been killed by Indians. The steamer 31 ora had been destroyed by fire, and several lives lost. The boat was a total loss. The yield of gold for the present year will ex- ; ceed that of any previous one. Steam communication between San Francisco ‘ and the Sandwich Islands were about being ac complished. Movements were on foot for a Railroad to Sa- ■ cramento. Real estate was active and advancing. The sloop-of-war Vincennes left San Francis co for a cruse southward. The Alta Californian thinks that the move ments for a division of the State, amounts to but ' little. Wells & Co.’s liabilities are stated at $200,000. I The project of supplying San Francisco with 1 water, seems to be tailing through. The steamer Republic on her voyage from Panama struck a rock, twenty miles from San Francisco, and the water rushed in so rapidly as i to extinguish the fires. The passengers were rescued and the steamer subsequent!) gotten off, but it is feared she is seriously damaged. Efforts are on foot to revive the chamber of . commerce, which had been broken up since the May fire. j The papers of the 9th are filled with duels, murdersand outrages,and there is strong talk of reviving the Vigilance Committee. Major Reading, the whig candidate for Gover l nor, was badly wounded by the accidental dis ; charge of his pistol, while out hunting. The Methodists had started anew paper called . the California Christian Advocate. Lynching was still practised at the mines. The Mormons have purchased Rancho del San Bernandio. for SIOO.OOO, and intend to build a large city there, to connect the great Salt Lake city with it by railroad, and secure a port in San Diago for their maritine intercouse with the , • world. News from Southern California was of the ut most importance. The Southern counties are coming out strongly for a Convention to divide 1 the State. Santa Barbara is the placed fixed on for holding it. The various counties were en gaged in selecting delegates. An address will , be prepared for circulation, and a petition pre sented to the Legistature at an early day in fa vor of division. News from the mines, at Carson s valley, are very discouraging. A company of 60 were ta king but two ounces daily. Miners at the Mid dle Fork were doing exceeding well. Several j 1 i new discoveries had been made at Ccdd Sprinjt. . The Calamo damming company had proved a [ failure. The steamer North America had arrived from Panama in 13 days, being the quickest tripon > ' record. The rainy season was about commencing.— Financial affairs in California was highly ffat- > tering. A letter from San Francisco says the miners 5 are yielding good returns, and the miners are daily increasing in numbers, and confidently an . tici pates a larger yield of gold than upon any pre -3 vious season. The commencment of another $ ’ year, it is believed will find our obligations much ; reduced, and a large proportion of the receipt of 1 the mines will remain invested with us. - Much more confidence being felt, city and State securities have improved. Our city has recovered in a greatmeasure from the disastrous fires, and merchants are on their r feet with renewed vigor. Many foreign houses _ have been permanenty established here, and a large amount of capital is seeking investment. ,f The California Courier says, a gentleman call e edon us yesterday, and exhibited a letter from a friend at the mines, dated Sandy Bar. or Yankee e Slide, giving glowing accounts of the success of e the miners in that region: some $30,000 per week cr was being taken from the Slide, and it was not * uncommon for a claim of 15 feet to yield 51.000 ►. to 52,500 per day.

We regret to learn, through a letter from a friend, of the death of General Hartwell H. Tar ver. He expired at his residence, in Twiggs ' county, on the 19th instant. His family and community, sustain a heavy loss in the death of this good citizen and excellent man. He was distinguished for his integrity, energy of charac ter, soundness of judgment and social qualities and virtues. He was reported the largest cotton planter in the State, and his kindness and charities will be re membered by many who experienced and re ceived them. Thus has fallen a good man and public spirited citizen. Requiescal in Pace. ‘ln JHngnrtir €rim*np|j. LATER FROM EUROPE. ARRIVAL OF ' S ’ rEAMEB ’ A TL A Nfl C . COTTON’ ADVANCED l-Bd.
