San Francisco, Nov, 20.—During tho lust two months cloven vessels, loadoil with copper and silver, sailed from this port for Swanson. The expedition of the Western Union Telegraph company hud arrived ut l’otro- pnlocooski, in Prussiun Siberia, on the 10th of October. Everything wan suc cessfully progrossing. They loft Major Minnecut’s party at Sitka on tbo 23d of August, since wheu the expedition has completed station works at Miullncl Hay, estnhli.hed a depot of supplies, and made thorough and extensive soundings in tho northern sounds us far north us Behring Straits. There are no difficulties in the way. Tho unlive tribes seem anxious to ussist in everything. Mnj. Abasstt's purly arrived in August at the mouth of the Aiuueou river. Abussa und two olhors left six wook ago for the renjamoku (lulf to proceed north to meet the Andy's river party. Atlnbono and Uusli Nickolaski woro also found North. Much credit is due Colonel Halkly and Copt. Scammun for their energy. The expedition will probably leave di reel for San Francisco on the arrival of the steamer with Col. Balkly, now daily expocted. Thoy expect to arrive in Sun Frencisco on the lit of December. All well aboard. it is estimated that one hundred and fifty tons of coin will be shippoil East this season. A loiter from Leper '.ower California, of tho 7th inst., says the Territorial As sembly has passed an act recognizing the Empire, hut the Government refused to sign the act, as the people threatened to rovolt if the act was consummated. The French have entirely abandoned Sinaloa, will, the exception of Masaran, whore only about five hundred troops re mained. und many were in hospitals. The Mexican forces are variously esti mated at sevoral thousand. Thoy havo cut off communication and threatened the city. The foreign residents sro indignant kt what they call their desertion by tho French, which strengthened the opposi tion of the nativo population. The Froncb have abandoned Hermosillo, and the Ko- puhlicans entered and extorted a loan o/ live million dollars from tho capitalists.

It passed the annoxnd ordinance in regard to slavery: Whereas, slavery has been destroyed in this State by tlie Government of tho Uni ted States, therefore, Be it ordained by the people of the Stato of Florida, in Convention assem bled, That neither slavery nor involun tary servitude shall in future exist in this Stale, except as a punishment for crime, whereof tho party shall have beeif con victed by the courts of the State; and all tlie inhabitants of tho Stato, without dis tinction of color, are free, and shall enjoy the rights of person and property without distinction of color. Tho following is tlie ordinance annulling the Stato war debt, which was adoptod.— This, it is generally understood, was done in obedience to the will of the President: Be it ordained by the people of Florida, in Convention assembled, That all Slate Treasury notes issued, and all other lia bilities contracted by the State of Florida, on or aller thu 10th day of January, A.

And directs that the legisla ture shall meet ou thu third Monday of Decernbor next. By a vote of 26 yeas and 19 nays, the following ordinance was adopted on the 6th, viz: In all criminal proceedings founded upon injury to acolorod person, and Inal! cases atiocling tlie rights or romedics of colored persons, no person shall ho in competent to tostify us a witness on ac count of color. In all other cases, tho testimony of colored persons shall bo ex cluded, unless made competent by future legislation. Tlie jury shall jildgo of tho credibility of tho testimony.

About two wopks bro, Mr. William Clark, of Halifax county, Va., introduced upon one of hi* plantations eight white laborers. These laborers are Danes, and procured through ihe active agency of SlesBis. Ooddin & Apperson, of liich mond. Various reports have goun through tho country concerning; the success of Mr. Chirk’s schemes so fur. We are happy to have it in our power to state, from n per sonal interview with that gentleman, ex actly how he iu progressing under the new system. The Danes are under tho management of a Pennsylvanian who belonged to the Sixth Corps, and who Ims recently married in the neighborhood. Ho ia represented as uu industrious, attentive, hard-working man, willing to turn his hand to anything- Mr. Clark wisoly determined not to mix tho whites with the nativo free negroes. There is an antagonism botween the two races, when put at points, which can never bo reconciled. There is danger, too, that, by associating with freo nogroes, they wil acquire their la ay habits, to a considerable extent. The Hands are therefore, put upon a separate plantation and kopt aloof from the idlo, marauding negroes. Some how or other, since the negroes have been liberated, there has boon an insuflerable, unheard of amount of stealing going on, in town and country. In some parts of Halifax, we are informed, tho planters have to do what was never necessary be fore : namely, keep a man, on double pay, for lue express purpose of minding the stock, day and night. Mr. C, congratu lates himself that, at least so far as one plantation is concerned, he iafroo from the pillaging of free negroes. Among tho eight Danes, there aro sevor al mechanics. Those who intend to em ploy white labor aio warned against get ting mechanics to do the farm work, and advised to bo careful to scloct from tho rural districts. Mr. C. not having use for so many mechanics, is inconvenienced to some extent; hut he is going to teach all who are willing to be taught tho details of plantation business. Of course, tho for eigners display great ignorance at first. The mode of cultivation is so different from what thoy havo been used to, that they cannot be expected to be expert la borers, under our system, before they Lave beon taught. Hut thoy aro willing and quick to leurn. It is contemplated to em ploy a few of our own people to work with them at least for awhile, unlil they have learned our manner of working. Mr. Clark waa one of the bent planters, under tho old system, in our whqle coun try, and farmed on n most extensive scale. We are glad that such a sound, practical man has taken hold of this subject. He realized at onco our condition, and wont to work in earnout to inaugurate the new ordor. lie has the ability, material and mental, to carry such a project through, and he is more determined than any man we havo met with. ' Tho main point is to make a settlement, fora beginning. Freo white labor is no experiment. If onco u fow are regularly and permanently located in a neighbor hood, tho difficulty is over; others will surely follow suit. This is illustrated by the fact that, since the introduction of these oigbt Dane?, three other foreigners have applied to Mr. (J. for employment. Mr. Clark ia determined to spare no pains or reasonable expense in making the strangers salisllod with their now homea. lie sots them down to a better table, and furnishes' thorn with more comfortably lodgings lliun will bo necessary after a c- nsiclerahln number have boon intro duced. The poor follows, ho says miss their beer, ana ho is delorihinod to buy soma hops that they inay ho supplied. When the tide sots in fully, lager beer saloons will soon follow without hojk ex<* ponse to tbo employer, and all will go on well.

McClure, of Pennsyl vania, lately had an interview with Mr. Johnson, of which ho gives an account in a letter to the Franklin Repository, under date of October 81, 18C5. After speaking of the President’s appearance and man ners, Mr. McClure says: However reticent ho may boon somois sues, he seems to have no reserve as to tho I tolicy he conceives to lie the true one to >ring back the insurgent States. He dis cussed the position of thoso States and their pooplo with great interest and occa« sional warmth, and with a frankness that left no doubt us to his purpose. He holds that they were never out of the Union; that secession, however accomplished us u fact, cannot be accomplished in law; that the supreme authority of the Government in those States was not overthrown by re bellion, but simply in abeyance, aud of course it logically follows his premises that, since rebellion Lm* the Htetmi resume their proper plnco in the Union and restoration is accomplished. T his, in brief, was the stand-point from which the President discussed the question of re construction for more than an hour, and answered suggestive objections at times with an earnestness that demonstrated how ardently he is working t<> give suc cess to his policy. I could not but re mind him that his theory stripped ail traiters of the protection they might claim as public enemies; that it would stamp as guilty of treason, within the law, every man who aidod the rebellion, and of ne cessity demand at his hands commensu rate punishment for what he must hold as unmitigated crime—as appalling murder and desolation for which there i9 no ex tenuation to be plead, “You have,” 1 added, N given us on every hand tho na tion’s monuments of mercy—where will boils monuments of justice? Davis is a >roclaimed assassin, as well as a traitor— is agents have died, another (Wirz) will follow—how are tho principals to atone to a people doubly bereaved iu their homes and in their sunctuary of power?” To this thu President answered with much animation that the measure of, and tho time for, atonement wore yet for the future to determine. 1 shall not soon for get the emphasis with which he declared that the South must come back aud bo a part of us, and “it must cornu,” he added, “with all its manhood—1 don't want it to come eviscerated of its manhood 1” To thi9 proposition abstractly there could be no objection made. We want tho South with all its manhood, which 1 would cou- coivo to bo tho Southern people with their treason abandoned and their crimes pun ished—not punished revengefully; not in imitation of the guillotino ol France or the Inquisition of Spain; but by making the leaders who conspired to overthrow tho Government straugers to its honors and its citizenship, and thus through lift* tho monuments of the cower, the justice and the magnanimity of the mightiest na tion ot tho earth. The President said that such may be the measure of punish ment; that he had pardoned but few who would como under su6h a rule; that there aro exceptions to all ruloi, and there were both civil functionaries and army officers who might bo pardoned with propriety.— He said he had not yet gone as far in his amnesty, either general or speciul, aa Mr. Lincoln proposed. Ho explained what is not generally known, that his pardons are mainlv of business men,.many of whom were Union men, who must have pardons to enable them to sell or mortgage Lbeii lands, or to got credit in their busincs; operations; and added that he bad uotyel readied the consideration of such cases ac Loo, Stephens, Longstreet, Beauregard and others of that class. He spoke freely of the proposod trial of Davis, and said that a9 yet the Govern* uient bad not taken any steps in the mat ter. If he is to be tried in Richmond, the trial must necessarily be postponed until tho civil authority ia fully testored, and then it will be a question of consideration under the condition of affairs which may at that lime exist. As Virginia is still practically under martial law, certainly wholly under military rule, I judge that many moons may wax and wane before we can have a great stale trial. 1 do nol< question tho wisdom of this delay, for it is certainly better for t'.io Government to avoid tho danger of defeat in attempting to convict of constructive treason in Wash ington, thun to force a trial which might afford a technical escapo for Davis and leave tho great question undetermined. If l were going to guess on the subject, 1 would sav that Davis is more likely to be paroled during the next year than to be tried, and if he is ever hangod ha must do it himself, The President is clearly adverse to con fiscation, and that question i9 practically settled. Whatever might be the views of Congross, confiscation is not possible with an Executive determinedly hostile to it and with the pardoning power in his hands. 1 infer, however, that on this point Congross will harmonize witn the Executive, as a number o( even the radi cal leaders, such as Greely and Sumner, openly oppose it. If our credit can be sustained otherwise l am content. Five years hence we shall all he wiser on that point than now. I believe that the President will wield all his power to effect tho admission of the representatives of the rebellious States into •Congress durjpg the next session. The Senate being oiganized, the question can not come up there until it is brought up in order; but there will be a strong pressure to force the admission of the southern members, by placing tbeir uam<*& on the roll when the House meets. This, Mr. McPhorson will not do, and on all votes of instructions he will call only those who are returned from States clearly entitled to representation. The law fortud* him to do otherwise, and he will bu faithful to it. The question of their admission will then agitato the House, and I fear make a sad breach betwoen the President and Con gress. The South is encouraged by thu position of the Administration to be im portunate in its demand for admission, and it is not improbable that it will in the end be admitted. I have seldom seen Congress struggle against power and hold out to the end. The history of such con flicts Is always dotted with frail ones who fall by the way. I have ever felt that tho revolted States should take no part in the Government they vainly soughtto destroy until all issue* arising from the war, and ... ___ „ all its logical resulU should bo settlod by of the boot or shoe is cut out in almost ! faithful mon.

Tho sole and heel are made of hard uiaplo wood, and are joinod by a skunk of sole leather, which gives all needed elasticity. The uppers are fastenod to tbo sole by a thin band of iron, which encircles the rim of the sole, and fastens sole and upper to gether in a manner far more effectual than any sewing can do. When put together the shoe presents a handsome appearance, and is aa light as a leather shoe of corres ponding size. Tho heels are comfortably hollowed out on tho upper side, and the soles have the proper curve to insure easy walking. The invention (made by a Canadian, named LafYanier, of Canada,) is the property of Mr. William Robinson, (patentee,) of this city. The boot* and shoea, under the patent, are made bv an incorporated company having a woiking capital of $260,000, and a manufactory in Court street, Brooklyn, capable of turn ing out one hundred pairs per day at the present time.— AT. ) r .

His wife presented him with many children, among whom were eight aons, everg our of whom were mar ried in tho saino coat iu which their father married their mother The youngest of the sons had seem sons, every one of whom were married in the same wedding coat, and after tho younges’. son of tha seven, or tho youngo»t grandson of tha original owner of tho coat had led hit blushing bride to tho altar in his venera ble grand father’s fashionable wedding coat, ho sold it for the sum of $10.
