Iflgkly Inij ortant from California. Our attentive corresdondent, in a despatch from Baltimore lit 6 o’clock, P. M., yesterday, informs us that letters have been received from California to the 25th December, detailing a most law leas state of social; there. Twenty murders had been committed in six weeks, and three murderers had been lynched. Such was the state of lawlessness that the inhabitants were agitattng the question of establishing a prov ision al government. The success of the miners con tinued, and four millions of gold had been col lected in this El Dorado. Farther Particulars. Ireland —The Judges have decided against tho writ of error in the rases of O'Brien, Mea gher end others, and an appeal to the House of Lords is now only left them ; application was made to them to adopt this course, hut they de clined, and expressed their determination to sub mit to their fate. England —The British Government has de termined to meet the w ishes of the people and curtail expenses, which has caused an advance in the funds. Italy. —The Hol\ Pope demands the interven tion of Austria to protect his Imperial power, hut France and Sardinia strongly remonstrate against this intervention, as the Roman people have lost all reverence for the Pope, both spiritually and mentally, and will turn with contempt to the spiritual anathemas lie lias hurled against them. Prussia —The country is quiet. The Frank fort Assembly has decreed that the dignity of the Head of the Empire is given to the reigning German Prince, thus opening a rivalry be ween Prussia and Germany lor the Throne, of Naples. Austria, whilst engaged in recovering her re bellious provinces, Inis another field of contro versy opened upon her by tho rivalry of Prus sia. Windisehgratz hss h ton entirely successful.

In the Senate, on Mondy the 12tli instant, Mr. Benton prt ■ nted a pet turn for a Convoy to prO tent die expedition 10 California The Civil and Diploma ic Bill was taken up and considered. Til*Committee on Finance recommended strik in# out the clause piohibiling flogging in the Na vy. A warm debate ensued on this propoaition, and the clauso was finally stricken out. Yesterday, in the same body, the bid from the House, attending pensions to certain widows and orphans, was taken up and passed. The Civil and Diplomatic Bill was again discussed. In the House, on Monday, the bill granting pensions to widows and orphans of officers and soldiers, who died of diseases contracted in Mex ico, was adapted. The bill estsblishing » Do. pertinent of the Interior, was made the special' order. A resolution was passed providing for the paymentof John M. Botts forthe time spent in contesting the sent of John \V Jones Yesterday, in the House, the bill establishing a Department of the Interior, was adopted. A motion to take up the bill w ith respect to the Slsva Tr«' e in the District of Columbia, was not agreed to. The balance of the. day was spent in miscellaneous business. Official advices have been received from Cali fornia to the 7th January. Anarchy and confu sion prevailed in that country Telegraphed for the Charleston Mercury. Baltimore, Feb. 14, 6 p. m. The Ohio Legislature have nominated Judge McLean as United States Senator, and have re commended the delegation in Congress from that State to support the Wilmnt Proviso.

JfOTirE.—The “ SOUTHERN MUSEUM ’• Office has been removed to the Brick Build- at the Corner of 1 ottou Avenue and First Street, formerly occupied as the “He* public” Office. O’We are indebted to Senator Berrien for a pamphlet copy of the Address to the people of the United States, reported by the Committee of Fifteen as a substitute for the Address reported i>y J. C. Calhoun. We are indebted, also, to lion. J. D. West cott, for the President's Message and accompa nying documents. Melancholy Accident—On Wednesday night last, Mr. M S. Marsh of this city, fell over the bluff at the corner of Cherry and First streets, and was found dead the next morning. An Inquest was held over the body on Thursday morning, and a verdict returned, that Ins death was accidental.—The deceased was a respecta ble young man, and lias left a number of rela tions and friends in this city and Savannah to mourn his unfortunate death. Georgia Medical Convention at Macon We have been requested jo call ihe attention of the Medical Profession to the following circular, in relation to the proposed Convention to meet in this city on the 20th of March next. “To the Physicians of Otorgia. —The Faculty of the Medical Col.ege o Georgia, suggests to the Medical Profession of tho State, the propriety of organizingan Association. Since the institution of the National or American Medical Association, our sister States of Alabama and South Carolina have taken action on the subject. It is there fore proposed to call a Cosvention of the Physi cian si of Georgia, to be held in the City of .Macon, on thi 2 th dayoj March next, then to adopt such measure, for the improvement and benefit of the I’rofes.-ion, as they may deem proper.” Georgia Gold.—The Dahlonega Watchman, of the Bth instant, says :—A rich gold vein has rocently been discovered on a lot belonging to Dr. McAfee and others. This mine is about ono mile southwest from Atirnrinon the Etowah River. We were at this mine a few days since ; little ore had then been taken out, hut what wi saw gave external specimens of the wealth wi h in. Col. 11. W. Riley made 05dwts. of Gold on a dnposite with eight hands during last week. Messrs. Moore Sc Kcnnon have just opened a new vein on the Ezard lot, which they suppose will yield two dvvts of gold to tiio bushel. (O' We learn from the Ringgold Republican th.it the contractors expect to ooinplete the road to Chattanooga by October next. The Tunnel will probably be finished and the cars ruiiiiiii;. from Dalton to Ringgold in August. This part of the Road, 16 miles, is, with the exception ol the Tunnel, ready for the iron. Some fifteen or twenty feet of the arching of the Tunnel gave way and caved in übout three weeks ago. No lives were lost. A telegraph dispatch of the Charleston Courier of the 15th instant, says : “Cotton was firm at New York at 7$ for fair Upland, and 8j for fair Orleans, with sales of 20< l 0 bales Message of the President on the Secret Pro tocol. Wo publish to day, says the Charleston Mer cury, the Message of the President of the United States, which was sent to the House, on Thurs day last, in reference to the Protocol to the Mex ican Treaty. It is not a very lengthy document, and is exceedingly well written. He finds fault with the peremptory nature of the call, and doubts whether the publication will not prove prejudicial to the public interests, Imt as this is the second call that has been made, he concludes to furnish the pupers. In regard to the effect of the Protocol, he maintains, that it docs not alter, or modify the treaty in any respect. The latter was ratified by tlie Mexican Legislature, previous to the arri val of our Commissioners at the scat of govern it ent, in the precise form in which it received the sanction of the United States Senate. As for the Protocol, the President regards it merely as a note of a conversation ; an explanation of the individual opinionsof the Commissioners,on the points to which it refers, lie, nevertheless, contends that tho IXth article of the treaty, n g amended, is more comprehensive than was the original article ; that the second section of the Protocol does not revise the Xth article ; and that, as to the right which the Commissioners concede to the Mexican Government to transfer tho twelve millions, any transfer must take with it all the conditions which would be attached to its payment, to Mexico herself. The President concludes by remarking, that he thinks there was no more necessity for lay ing this Protocol before the Senate than there would have been, if, instead of assuming the form of a Protocol, the conversation had been reported, in a letter from the Commissioners to the Secretary of State. The Message is accompanied by two docu ments—the instructions from the Secretary of State, to tne United States Commissioners, and a letter of the same date, from the same func tionary, to the Mexican Minister of Foreign Re lations, specifying and explaining the amend ments to the Treaty, made in the United States Senato These documents are of considerable length, and as the merits of the whole matter s em fairly presented by the Message, we do not feel it necessary to transfer them to our col umns. The President's explanation will probably ;Ut this subject effectually at rest. Tea t wltiva.-lcu In «hr I tilled t totes. As* testimonial of approbation, the Mate A griridtnra I Society of South Carolina has elected Justus Smith an honorary member, for his ef forts to introduce the culture of the Tea plant in the United States. In making his acknowl. ilg ments, in a letter to the Charleston Mercury, Mr Smith refers to his having selected Greenville as the place for the experiment. He soya: The first seed was planted in Greenville on the 12tli and 15th of December. On the 26ili eighty plants were put nut, and five hundred more would be in a few days. The Philadelphia Bulletin has the following remarks : “In ten years we shall astonish the world by producing tea in the United States superior in quality to and cheaper in cost than the tea of China. Thig is no idle prediction. Already we find it produced in large quantites and of ex cellent flavor in Brazil Mr. S. Bonsall, of Philadelphia, has been for some years engaged in superintending a very extensive range oftea plantations in Assam, hav ing thousands of hands employed in (lie field anil the factory. The success was perfect, and As sam is now a tea country. This gentleman has returned to Philadelphia under the certain con viction that ten can be grown here Without doubt or difficulty of any sort. The ten plant is remarkably hardy, and it flourishes on the high slopes of mountains, where frost and snow prevail three months in jho year. Its favorite soil in Chinn, and also in Assam, is the poorest yellow sandy loam, with carbonate of iron in analysis. Silex, 76; clay, 10; rnrb. iron, 10 ; water, See 4-100. No lime- A good tree is expected to yield At 3 years I.J oz. tea, or 187 lbs. per acre. 4 years 2$ oz tea, or 312 “ 5 years 4 oz. tea, or 500 •* At 6 years, when it is in full bearing, 6 oz. tea or 750 lbs per acre. 2,000 trees to an acre. The tree lives to 50 years ofage. The process of manufacture consists chiefly in oft repeated exposure of the leaves in well heated iron vessels, with quick and accurate manipulations, till the pungent oil is extracted from them in bull-masses, to curl the leaf as vve see it. This hand process spoils a vast deal of it, for the least over-toasiing, or the smoking of a stray leaf, injures the flavor of the mass. Mr. Bonsall contrived a machine to dispense with a deal of labor employed in beating the leaves be tween tlie cookings, by which one boy did the work of ten men, and fully ns well. He feels confident the expensive hot-hearth process can he done with far greater nicety by steam-heated inetal plates, which would preserve the flavor op the most delicate teas ; and circular wire screens moving by steam power, would sort the teiiß easi ly enough. Thus the whole manufacture is per fectly adapted to machinery, and Mr. Bonsall thinks that the best teas can be produced in the latitude of Philadelphia, at a cost not exceeding a shilling a pound. (T~P MicCONopy, head chief of the Seminoles, died at Fort Gibson lately. He was one of the few warriors who at the head of a mere handful of men, resisted our government for six years, and maintained possession of their country du ring that time against twenty limes their number of well equipped troops, led by our most experi enced Generals. He commanded the Indians in person at the time of Dade’s massacre, aud with Osceola successfully resis'ed the crossing of the Withlacoochee, by Gen. Gaines, in 1836. He finally surrendered w ith other chiefs, to Col. J 11 Sherburne- Dec- 3 1&37- Gold Dollar. —The Washington Wbig speaks of having been shown a gold dollar just from the mint. The dollar piece is a little larger in cir cumference than halfdime, but not quite so thick On one side there is a wreath if leaves,and around it the words, “United Stales of America, 1848” On the other their is a cap, emblazoned with sun light, and on it “ Liberty.” Let us have them in crowds, say we. Congress should not adjourn without acting favorably on the subject. Virginia Gold Mines.—The Washington Union, in noticing the arrival of one of Fulton's patent steam pumps at Richmond, from that •ity,on its way to the gold mines of Major Heiss and Coin. Stockton, says : “ We met a friend a day or two since, who told us he had seen a certificate from the mint of nine thousand dollars’ worth of gold deposited as the tesult of six days work, with about as many bonds, at the Whitehall mine in Virginiai of Messrs Heiss, Stockton, &c. Si negroes, we learn from another entirely reliable s mrce, had obtained thirty-fire poumtls of gold from the Ist to the 6th or 7th of this month. ‘The Ist day's work of three negroes was worth $1,595.' If this result be the product of a regular vein, as we learn it is, who can foresee what a week may not bring forth ?”. (EPGov. John L. Wilson, died in Charleston on the 12th inst., after h lingering illness. Gov. W. was a native of Georgetown ; and at an early period of his life rose to distinction at the Bar After serving many years in the Legislature, and having been President of the Senate, he was, in 1832, elected Governor of the Slate of South Carolina. Virginia. —A correspondent of the Kanawha Republican has commenced a series of numbers in that paper, in which lie proposes to discuss the rights, resources and wants of western Vir ginia. In alluding to tile salt manufactures of that region, he states that one connty alone makes nearly four millions of bushels of salt, worth from $600,000 to SBOO,OOO. He speaks also of the Trans-Alleghany District, which lias an area of over 29,000 square miles, more than 18,000,000 of acres of land, and such lands, he adds, ns can support a population 80 or 100 to the square mile, but which nnw lias but eight to the square mile. Tlii- region, he observes,has rich er mines than the same extent of enuntr in nnv part of the union, if you except mines of preci ous metals. And yet the citizens of Virginia are constantly leaving her for other States and dtstaut regions. Ten Tribes —The N-York Saturday Times, edited by Noah, has an interesting article on tin ten lost tribes of Israel He concludes that they were the builders of the cities whose ruins in .Mexico and Central America have pmvoked so much conjecture. He says that there are many circumstances which justify this opinion, hut especially the fart that all our Indian tribes bear the strongest marks of Asiatic origin, and are identical with the Israelites in many of their most remarkable religious rites and ceremonies. The Phcenicians ( Canaanites ) had discover ed the continent 50ft years before the migration of the Israelites, and were, it is assumed by Noah, the builders of the pyramids of Mexico and Central America, and of Palenque, Cholula, Otumba, Tlascala, and other cities, of which the ruins now evcite our astonishment; and also the introducers of hyeroglyphics, plenisphenes, zo diacs, temples, military roads, viaducts and bridges from Egypt, Tyre, Babylon and Cartli age. The ten tribes marched towards the northeast roast of Asia—some remained in Tartary, and many went into China, where they have been 160 ft years, and are numerous at this day. The main body crossed at Behring's Btraits to our continent, the more hardy keeping to the north, Hudson's Bay and Greenland ; the more culti vated passed down on the shores of the Pacific, '■through California to Mexico, Central America, and Peru, where they met their ancient enemies the Canaanites ( Phunirians) whom, ns once before, they dispossessed of the country. Fur thermore it is contended that that they resided in California when the ships of Solomon made their three years’ voyage, are furnished the gold of Qphir toimJd the temple ; also that they are the settlers and proprietors of Mexico, Peru, and the whole American continent, and have been here centuries before the advent of Chris tianity, and patiently await the promise of re demption. Velocity.—From an extended series of ex periments made at the Washington Arsenal w ith the ballistic pendulum, by Capt. Mordeeii of the ordnance department, it has been determined that the velocity of a thirty two pound shot va ries from twelve to nineteen hundred feet per second, making an average of about fifteen hun dred feet per second, or nearly twenty miles per minute. The voloci'y of the electric wave along the Telegraph wire is nearly 200,000 miles per second, compared with which, the speed ot the cannon ball is almost quiescence. Lumps or Gold.—The largest lumps of gold recorded in the histories of gold mines, are as follows : One found at tho Wicklow mines in Ireland, weighing twenty-two ounces ; one in Peru, weighing twenty-six pounds and a half; several in Quito, reported to have weighed a bout one hundred and six pounds each ; one in Lebanon, North Carolina, found in 1810, which weighed twenty-eight pounds ; and one in New Grenada, which weighed twenty-seven and a half. These, we believe, are the largest lumps ou record. dj* The Supreme Court of the United States decided a few days ago, that the laws of the States imposing t .xeson alien passengers on ar riving at their ports art unconstitutional. The question came up from New Yoik and M assu chusetts, and stood for sometime in equilibrium in the court Judge McKinley, however, arrived and settled the matter adverse to the stales The decision, says he correspondent of the N V ork Post, is based up in the general principle that the states can pass no laws to obstruct commerce legalized hi the laws of the Union, that, conse quently, no tax can he levied upon the passen gers while on board the ship, though within state jurisdiction, nor upon the owners of vessels at any time. - ' ■ A Damper. —Two respectable gold assayers in New York inform the Evening Post that they recently received a lump of what was supposed to be California gold, weighing twenty ounces Troy weight,to be assayed. It was not affected by acids, but in the refining pot evaporated. It proved to be sulphuret of iron. The owner of the article purchased it at San Francisco, where lie paid $7 per ounce for it in merchandise They have received several specimens of Cali fornia rocks to assay, but as yet they have re ceived no gold. All this may be true ; but the man who doubts that there is “some” gold in California is a heathen. The Mecklenburg Declaration— By a let ter from Mr. Bancroft, minister to England, which has just been read in the North Carolina legi- ature, ihe authenticit of the Mecklenburg, (N. C. ) declaration of independence in May, 1775, is proved—two months earlier than the immortal declaration by all the colonies. 110 found the Mecklenburg resolves in the British State paper office. They were first sent over to England in a letter dated 20th June, 1775, writ ten by Sir James Wright, then Governor of Georgia. uj’The“Californian,” a newspaper published at Monterey, says the inhabitants of California are united, ns one man, against the introduction of slavery into that territory. O’ The St. Johns (N. B. ) News states tha, the small pox is making direful ravages in that city—there being over 1800 cases there under treatment. A Great Gun. —The newspapers say that Mr Milo Cass, of Utica, New York, Ins invented a gun that discharges twenty-six times for one loading, which it does in two minutes, or less— the charges being attached to an endless chain. This beats Colt’s revolt er and all the other pow der-and-lead weapons we have yet read of. Extent oe Oregon. —lt appears by official documents, that on the east it skirts 8000 miles along the Rocky Mountains ;on the west 7000 miles along the Pacific Ocean, on the North A merican possessions of Russia and England The area of thi> immense valley, contains 350,1)00 j square miles capable, undoubtedly, “f forming seven Mates ns large as New York, or forty States ofthe dimension ol Massachusetts. Telegraph Across the Atlantic.—The New York .Scientific American says, a memori al was presented to the Senate on Monday the 271 h ult., asking for an appropriation for the construction of a telepragil from Nova Scotia to the coast of Ireland on the submerged tableland which was slated to have been discovered to ex ist between the two continents. The inetnoral ists propose te enclose the telegraph wire.- in cork tubes and anchor it at ten miles apart. This proposition is as t'easib'e as going tot alifurniaiii bag of hydrogen gas. No telegraph wires that have been laid across the chaunel of any of our rivers have worked well, and what will we expert from those laid down in the bottom of the sea a distance of 2ftoo miles. The Coast Survey should also make the necessary explorations about these fishing banks which are said to extend from Newfoundland to Erin s Green Isle. Probably such banks may be like to many others only sperulatire. The best way to cover telegraph wire (the only way in fact ) to isolate them entirely to repose on the beds of rivers, is by HilPs patent process de scribed and illustrated on page 225 vol. 3 Seien" lific American. This is the plan employed in isolating the wires that arc laid across the Irsli Channel to Ireland Ity The Butler divorce case is set down for trial by jury. The correspondent of the N. Y- Herald, says . “ This disposes of the matter for the present,—perhaps for ever. Public opinion seems to he in favor of Mrs. Butler, but we must recollect that we have heard only one side. To the voluminous averments mid allegations of his vvife, Mr. B. has made no answer.” EP Judge Dickt, of Chicago, hairdccrded that the master of a slave escaping into Illinois, has the right to remove said slave regardless of Illi nois statutes to the contrary, which are declared to be unconstitutional. li-f Chloride of Zinc and Gvpsum have been recently applied vvrtli success to caueer, bv Dr Brooks, ol Cheltenham, England.

O’ The London Spectator notices “ The Sax ons in England, a History of the English Com monwealth till the period of tho Norman Con quest —by John Mitchell Kemble;” a work upon which the critic heslows the highest praise, as “conveying a clearer idea of the life and character of the Saxons in England, than any thing met with elsewhere Mr. Kemble is an elder brother of Mrs. Fanny Kemble Butler The Boston Traveller says that the following sonnet to J. ,\|. K., by Alfred Tennyson, was ad dressed to this gentleman, who has the reputa tion of being one of the first philological schol ars and most accomplished historical writers in England : My hope and heart is with thee—thou will he A latter Luther, and a soldier priest, To scare church-harpies from the master’s fe ist: Our dusted velvets have much tired of thee : Tnou art no Sahba'h-dravvler of old saws ; Distill'd from some worin-eanker'd homily ; But spurr'd at heart wilt fiercest energy To embattail and to wall about thy cause With iron-worded proof, hating to hark The humming of the drowsy pulpit-drone. Half God's good Sabbath, while the worn-out clerk Brow beats the desk below. Thou from a throne Mounted in heaven wilt shoot into the fail;, Arrows of lightnings. I will stand and mark. British West India View Respecting Cu ba.—-Mr Burnley, a member of the Trinidad Legislative Council, in a recent speech, said Englishmen had better beware of meddling with Cuba ; the moment she censes to be Spanish she will become American, and no power on earth can p event it. “ The first outbreak in Cuba would attract an overpowering foree of volunteers from the southern states, which the federal government could not prev. nt. There would be indepen donee first and annexation would follow —And the moment that enterprising people got posses sion of a sugar soil in a tropical climate, the eultivn ion may be given up in despair in every part of the world, even in the Brazils; for they will be as effectually undersold and driven out of the market as the growers of cotton have been since the commencement of the present century.” II <' Some of the Lowell factory girls recent!y issued a manifesto stating that they were derter tnined to leave the mills, in consequence of the reduction of their wages. From this unique publication we extract the following, which shows pretty well what sort of a woman a yan kee factory girl is : “We are now working our notice, and shall soon he out of employment—can turn our hands to anything—don’t like to be idle—hut deter mined not to work for nothing where folks can afford to pay.

Caution to Emigrants —I hope that those who intend to emigrate by land here, will be careful that they are not overtaken by storms or snows, or want of provisions, on their toil, some journey across the rocky mountains. ( have seen those who started from the borders of Missouri, hale and and stalwart men, hobble down into the plains of California, crippled lor life. I have seen brothers who, in -he madness of hunger, have, fought for the last bit of their father s dead body, having shared the resist their previous meals ! having been encompass, ed with snow on the tops of those dreadful mountains. Maidens who left their homes re joicing in the pride of their youth and beauty, jn joyous anticipation from this fur oft' land, by the horrors and sittlerings of that fearful jour ney, despoiled of their loveliness and bloom withered into premature old ago. “Murder will Out.”— The Fort Gibson (M iss ) Herald of the 26th ult. says : A most ex raordinary instance of the powerful walkings of remorse, for an irreparable act of crime, has recently been developed here. On Tut s lay last, a valuable negro man, Levi, be longing to Alison Wade Sims, residing about llirte miles from Fort Gibson, went to his mas ter, and voluntarily informed him that, some time previous to last Christinas, lie hud killed a < cumin pedlerin the cotton fluid for the purpose of robbing him of his pack, and had afterwards buried the body in a ravine, in the middie of a lonely cunebruke on the plantation. At the Girding of his master, Levi cheerfully pro ceeded with him to the town to be placed in custody. The requisite information having been given by Mr. S., a Coroner’s Jury was sum moned on Wednesday morning; and, under the guidance of the negro, who exhibited no rehic* ttance, but on the contrary, seemed anxiqus for the investigation, they proceeded to .search ft* the body, which was easily found. The place sclec cd for burial was peculiarly adapted for concealment The hill, which rose on eiiher side, had poured the waters of every rain into the ravine at their feet, in the bed of which, well covered up with cane and chunks of decaying wood, and the constantly accumu lating sediment washed down bv the waters, the body was found. When drawn forth it was re cognized as that of one David Luhelski, a native ”f Cracow, in Poland—in which city we learn that his wife and seven children reside- who, to the last two or three years has followed tYe occupation of a licensed hawker and pedler in t is county. From the voluntary and almost eager admissions of the negro, made before ln m the Jury, without hesitation, rendered the verdict in accordance with the facts stated.
