The sick have been faithfully attended; and sev eral shipwrecked and destitute Seamen gratuitously supplied with every requisite comfort. The following touching expression of grateful feeling, will, it is hoped, he read with interest by all who appreciate this noble and too long neglected class of our fellow men: To the IjCuUis of the Seaman's E. Society. I'jSTKF.med Ladies:—May you accept fins feeble expression of our gratitude for the splendid and magnificent cake, over which waved tiie Star-spangled Banuer ; and also for the note of good wishes to day presented to us through Capt. Pau keii. The recollections of this day will pot soon he erased from our memories. We are often more than delighted in witnessing the disinterested kindness and patriotism of the ladies. The appella tion of “weaker sex,” has been applied to them, it is true ; but their very weakness is strength, and being gentle, they are the more powerful! Their generous and mighty deeds, make the brightest page in human history. When the cause of truth and humanity has languished, and her enemies have made sure of their final triumph, earth’s fiir ones have stepped upon the stage, and led on to glorious conquest. Truly earth would have been a desert, and Sa tan's triumph certain, had not woman mingled in the scene. Language is by far too feeble to give expression to feelings that often swell the bosom of the Mariner, as lie contem plates the care which the warm and ten der heart, and the delicate hand of the female have manifested in his behalf. Sailors were long considered an almost irredeemable class of men ; but happily for us, a change has come over the minds of men in this respect, and that, perhaps, in answer to the prayers of mothers and sisters, which have so often gone up as a “ memorial before the Throne We feel most grateful that the eternal, as well as the temporal good of the Sail or, has been sought. Indeed, this is the great end of all properly directed efforts ; all the rest should he made tributaries to this. We look to you as our benefactors and most sincere friends, and kindly hope you will never get discouraged in your most generous efforts, for that class of men who are more careless, in general than hard hearted. Kind Ladies, may the Sun of Righte ousness unremittingly shine upon your pathways lure, and at last may you re ceive “ The reward of the inheritance at the right hand of the throne of God,” is the prayer of your most humble and grateful son ants.

Our city has been alive for the past week with “ the ear piercing fife and the soul stirring drum,” and our Volunteers have done their country some sendee in marching and drilling, if not in defend ing our city from the assaults of an ene my ; yet they have on several occasions charged batteries of champagne and some of them been placed horsdc combat from its effects. On Saturday our Volunteer Associa tions paid due homage to the anniversary of the Father of our country. Their ranks were full, and their marching and drilling, without exception, very fine.— The Savannah Volunteer Guards gave a collation at Oglethorpe Hall to the Chat ham Artillery and Republican Blues, it was done well, and all present enjoyed the occasion. A proposition was made by Capt. Anderson of the Blues, that each ensuing anniversary of the of February, the three corps should unite under the command of the Junior Cap tain and celebrate the day together, it was accepted unanimously. The Squadron of Horse under the command of Major Bern paraded on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.— On Wednesday the Regiment under the command of Major John N. Lewis to gether* with the Squadron of Horse, was reviewed by Gen. Wm. P. White. Va rious evolutions were performed, and a sham fight between the foot and horse concluded the parade.

WILLIAM P. BOWEN, 4 WILLIAM P. WHITE, C. P. RICIIARDSONE, } Judges. WM. 11. MONGIN, A. C. DAVENPORT. Arrival of the Steamer Mexico, Fifteen Days Later from California, The steamship Mexico, W. 11. Tal bot, commander, six days and ten hours from Clmgrcs, which place she left on the 6th inst., arrived here last evening at 4 o’clock, bringing dates from California to the 15th of January. The Mexico left atChagresthe steam ers Crescent City and Prometheus, and British steamer Severn. The Crescent City was to leave for New York the next day, and the Prometheus the day fol lowing. The steamer Philadelphia was seen going in as the Mexico came out. © © The steamer New Orleans arrived at Panama on the 2d inst., and the Ante lope on the 4th. The California mail was expected every moment at Panama by the steamer Unicorn, the Northerner, which should have brought if, having been detained for repairs of injuries sustained in conse quence of the steamer Tennessee having come in contact with her. Passengers report business at Sacra mento City very dull, and gold dust scarce. On Saturday, the Bth inst., in lat. 14 deg. lOmin. lon 81deg 36min. the Mexi co exchanged signals with the steamer Ohio. Our papers from San Francisco, by the Mexico are to January 15, being fifteen days later than heretofore re ceived. The Legislature of the State met at San Jose on the 7th January, when the message of Gov. Burnet was delivered. It is a document of some length, com mencing with a brief allusion to the for mation of the constitution, and the strug de for admission to the Union—paying a tribute to the principles of American liberty, with a pledge on behalf of Cali fornia that she will make amends for the unfortunate excitement she unwittingly caused in the old States, by her devotion to the Union, love of justice, and spirit of conciliation towards her sister States. In alluding to the Indian difficulties, the Governor attributed them to the incon siderate conduct of the whites in some instances, and the sudden and extended occupation of the lands hitherto exclu sively possessed by them, the Govern ment neglected to treat with them. The organization of the force under Gen- Morehead to proceed to the Colorado and punish the \ uinas is alluded to, but the responsibility of the measure, and the blame for kneeling the force so long in the field after it was raised, are shitted to the shoulders of Maj. Gen. Bean, of San Dieogo, and Gen. Morehetid, The Alta California sayg it utterly disagrees with the well-known principles of the Governor, now reiterated, for the exclu sion of all colored persons from the State; and will not acknowledge the soundness of his arguments in this point, or admit the question of slavery will ever be agi tated within the borders of California. The Governor recommends an amend ment of the ninal laws of the State, and *■ capital punishment for rob *‘d grand larceny. There is not uich else of importance in the message. Indian troubles have broken out in the southern mines, but the Alta California thinks they do not amount to much, though a great (leal ot excitement on the subject lias been cheated. A duel took place in San Francisco between Mr. Walker, one of the editors ot tiie Herald, and Mr. Graham, the latter being the challenging purtv. The weapons used were Colt's revolvers, and five shots were to be fired, unless one of the parties was hit Two shots were exchanged. At the first fire Mr. \\ alker received bis adversary’s ball through the leg of his pantaloons, and at the second was shot through the fleshv part of the thigh. The wound was of a very trifling character. Both parties were accompanied by a number of friends.— The affair was caused by an article which appeared in the Herald relative to the Judge of the Probate Court and the Pub lic Administrator, for which Mr. Graham challenged the editor on behalf of Morrison. Mr. Broderick, Clerk of the California Senate, and Mr. Moore, of the Assembly, had a personal collision in the streets of San Jose. Neither was hurt. In regard to gold news we take the fol lowing from the Alta California: Twenty-seven miles beyond the Trini ty there is a beach several miles in extent, and bounded by a high bluff.’ The sands of this beach are mixed with gold to an extent almost beyound belief. The sand is of two kinds—a fine black sand and a grey sand. The grey sand can be separ ated very easily from the black sand, and this seems to be a desirable object. The gold is mixed with the black sand in pro portions of from ten cents to ten dollars the pound. At times when the surf is high, the gold is not easily discovered, but in the spring of the year, after a suc cession of calms, the entire beach is covered with bright and yellow gold. Mr. Collins, the Secretary of the Pacific Mining Company, measured a pack of gold and sand, and estimates it will yield to each member of the Company the snug little sum of $43,000,00 —and this estimate is formed upon a calculation that the sand bolds out to be one-tenth as rich ys observation warrants them in supposing. A Prize Wedding. —The first wedding in the stirring town of Treverton—which has sprung into existence within the last six months, in the valley a few miles hack of Sunbury, on the road to Pottsville— was celebrated on the 24th ult., with great rejoicings. According to previous stipu lation, the happy couple became entitled to and received the following substantial premiums, viz: The wife the best dress in the Company’s Store, and the husband a handsome town lot, and a loan of S4OO from the Company to build upon it.— Phil. Inq. Daily and Weekly Globes. —The Ty pographical Society of this city having raised the wages of Journeymen Printers twenty per cent., these papers cannot he printed without a serious loss to the pro prietor ; therefore they will be discontin ued on the fourth of March next. Sub scribers to them are hereby requested not to make remittances paying beyond that day. —Globe. RIDDLE.
