Tire division of California is becoming n topic of cnnsiderabti di-mssion among llte people of that Sl)tle, and ;p|tears Hr he near ly onanittinoslv de-ired in tlie Sontbern portion. There are three newspapers engaged m supporting it earr.csllv Mini roiitinimlly, and others lake oerttsioiltil interest in examining lit - qoestioti wilhool po-itivel taking side-. None of the Sail Francisco papers hare vet taken op the sol.j-cl with mil ill leal, alihoiigll Sail Franeiscn will he im ln.l ed in the Soothero portion, which, if the project succeeds, will return into tire ler rilntial condition. Rut we sr-e nu vm strong -igi.s of oppo-itioo to division.— T he plan, as presented in the resolutions of public meetings, would take from the State as now constituted, the comities of San Francisco, Contra Costa, Sants Clara, San Joaquin. Calaveras, Tnolo mene, Mariposa, Santa Cf> z, Monti re\, S.rntt* Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Los Allgr les, ami S-rn Ciego—thirteen enmi ties—which contain more lit to one half the an-a, and one-third of the population of llte State. Tile favorite idea at pres ent is to organ!/.- this part of the Stale into a territory ,lo Ire receded hark to the. United Stales, leaving llte Northern portion a State undi r its prisent con-ti. tminn, amended to suit its new boun daries. But we observe that other plans are suggest-(I, though not much debated yet. One proposes to abandon the State Government altogether and have two territorial governments; and anoth er is, to create anew Slate at on- e trot of the Southern (livi-iort. The first i a mere fancy speculation, and there is no probability that it will get supporters.— The diliirnhies in tire erection of w m territory-rot of organis’ and portion-of a subsisting State, and die danger nf giv ing o.ca-ioii lor the revival of extinct controversies, will make it deisrahle to avoid the ailiempi to form anew terri tory in that region, and ro leave tire control of their dome guy a/Turk with die people thc-uigelves. In the formation of anew State Government they can have tin- opportunity to make any new provisions which tlreir particular inter . esis and eon-ibimi require. The formation of two Stales out ofoiic, by the divi-iun of a Stale, is a very easy operation if lire Slat- de-ites it; and Congress has untiring to say in the mat ter until it is failed upon to admit the new State. There arc precedents alrea ’ dv in die formation -of Kentucky out of I Virginia and Maine out of Massachusetts. Virginia first gave her consent try act of the Lefci-luiure. A conveniioti was call . ed in Kentnckv, and the convention at truce made ‘application to Congress for ! admission ag a State, and wasactoaTy ai'mi'lcd Ip a prospective law in advance of tfte adoption of the constitution. in the cage of Maine, the Stale authorities proceeded with equal independence ol .my previous consent try the federal an • fhoriiics. Tire Massachusetts Legisla ture firs! gave its consent It* the declared wi-lies us til*- District ol .Maine, and the people of l,lie and Strict then formed their constitution ami erected themselves into i a Stale, and application was thereupon 1 made (o Congress toll net ion Ifrese pro ceedings by admitting the new State into lire Uiiioo. The pbrast ologv of the act of admi-kioo i-h little peculiar. It re cites in the preamble lire nd of die State ol Massachusetts the source id author ity in the er-ctioo of “an imlepende ot Slate” fry the people of the District of Maiue, and die fnritialtoM of s coo-lito lion in pursuance nf dial act ; ami there upon it declares the said Slate “to he out of ike Untied States us North Ameri ca, ami admitted into tile Uiioh on wo equal footing with the original States, Ml all respects w it-lever.’’ In iieithe’ - cage, Kentucky M'*r Maine, was any erwr .cut or uoih-.ritatioH by Congress ri-ked for its- claimed ns ocres-aiy. All tile step-, from ike fer.l preliminary move in-oi op tr the appearance of the Hew State to ask a place in the Union, were made mi tin* sole authority of the Siateg tespet-iively Irum which they were cre ated. The division of a State iu the Union,, with a view r| >nrrendering a portion of the territory amt people to the jorisrfir. lion of the United States, presents anoth er question. There are precedents in deed, nf cession* of vacant . lands, of which the United Stales has accepted jutitdiefion, and which Congress subse quently formed into territories. Out of socli cessions by Virginia the North, we-tera States were created ; and Ten nessee, Alabama and Mississippi have arisen not of similar cessions from North Carolina, Sooth Carolina and Georgia. But in all these cases, the lands were unorganized and unappropriated, and in tact nearly uninhabited. No form ol g.-vernn eid of jurisdiction had been ex tended over them. In California the case is ilifTereut. The country inis a complete political organisation, ii divid ed into countries, and largely peopled, and forms a powerful portion of an exist ing sovereignly. It will lit- a urw- case for a S site* to divide itself, and, abdica ting a portion of its sovereignty, in fact to iem uul one third of its citizens In a t* rritni ial condition, and for tire United Sort- s to accept such an abdication from one nf tin* Slates of tie Union for its own benefit. It ig a novel case, and though the power so to receive may he perhaps sustain -d.the exercise may well he tvnided, when it is possible without pro ducing any seriottg g rievance to llte coun try. Tire imonveniences of the present site’of California, an I the* diversities of iutere-ts in the northern and soortltern sections may well justify au anxiety fnr separation, but it i- well umili consider ing whither all pr iper objects will tint lie better advanced, ami the desired end iii'Vc speedilv effected by the. lioiiialion another Slat* ,| litn by a recessions* llte United Slams and the creation of anew (et riiorv. Condemnation and Trial of Mr. Thrasher. We have written condemnation, first fnr i* is very evident front the report of the mock tti and of Mr. TllKvsitKK, which is contained in tin- New Orleans Piat yui*', that tile unfortunate mao was con demned before lie was even confronted with bis accusers and judges, lire farce before the Court Martial was almost pre cisely as we described the Spanish mode of proceeding in such cases in otir ar ticle of I rsl week. If any different it was wor-e, for iu addition to tin* gross in justice and unfairness us the whole pro ceeding the already condemned man wa lorceil to hear the scoffing jests and cru el insolence of lire loyal DnGBtHUIY who officiated its President of the Court.— The following extract from a Havana letter in the N. 0. DUu w ill give the reader a correct idea of Mr. Thrasher's trail: Th’ Court re-assembled, —an ordin ary court-martial Brigadier Geo, Vargas, President, with >i.\ members, —at tire place and day appointed, at 10 r’r lock. The Crown Attorney, or Fiscal, read over the declarations aud proofs of the charge, and the prisoner was brought forward to answer, being under guard.— The counsel, or attorney for the prison er, with whom lie had had uo opportun ity of advice orconusel, read to the Court, some thirty lines of defence ; forja Spans isli captain, I presume, it was a grand perpetration—for the prisoner, it was fatal, —in brief making the declaration, as near as I cart render it. “ That he dhl not think the crime had been proved against tire prisoner, whereupon, lie urg ed upon the Court to consider the Pro, pr hty of commuting the punishment to bani-lmvenf, or something lighter than to the quit k-ilvermines or picsidin for eight year-.” Heaven save the maik! Mr. Thrasher was a-ked by President Vargas (let nu honest heart forget him.) “ ifhe hail any thing to gay,” in a I*llll - grnffnefs of voice. He replied that l*v had—bowing to the a igust tribunal with a courtesy that annoyed that chief: “ that he had been surprised in these proceedings—he had not been ttd v ised of the nature of the charge- against bins—that he had not been allowed I * de fence guarantied by treaty—-nr time to produce testimony.” Vargas put in, about this point, “ :w hour of time before a tribunal of this character, is art age I’’ Pregnant with meaning, llte bombast sentence of this judge, Mr. T. replied, “ that the Governin’ m had had twenty two hours to his two, iu the three d.rvs that Ire had been permitted In cmumoni. cate with his friends, besidt s the tmcootil.. ed time of secret pre panel ion “ Mr. T. protested in firm and manly tours against the whole proceeding, as contravening Spani-h justice aud law, as well as in violatibli rrftht first Lw of nations, writ- l ten.in our treaties with the Spanish Gov i-riinreitt. He read a strong defence, ‘ which tva* upp. it Ird to the proceedings. | TERMS) $2 iu Advance. At all points where lie alluded to the United States—to the primary obliga tions of treaty, he was coarsely interrupt ed by the noble Catalan President; hut with unaltered lone—unmoved nerve, he proceeded, always bowing with natural anti inimitable composure to his judges, in a< know ledgnieut of their remarkable courtesy and nice sense of justice. On one occasion the court was cleared to set le some matter of consistency which when, “ proforma,” the decision asked for hv the Queen’s counsel to approve by the judges, was read to the prisoner and the public. This was the public trial of John S. Thrasher, w herein I could not (fist over the proof of any one fact, save that it was a heating of words—that the arrogant chief was there, and llte noble prisoner before him unsubdued—not craven in the dust. How long w ill our Government sub mit to such insolence and outrage ? The Spauish Flying Machine. T lie inventor of this contrivance, Don Diego de Sahimanco nnd his daugilter tire about to arrive at Paris, to show the effects of this marvellous invention.— The machine is very simple; it consists of u case two (eel long and one foot wide, adapted to a hand of leather round the wais, buckled behind. Two iron roads, fastened to the cast- support a small piece of wood, on w hich die feet repose. The case contains a simple and ingenious mechanism similar to that employed to set an antomotion in motion. The me chanism is worked lv means of n handle. It sets in work two large wings ten feet long, made of very thin caoun hone covered with leathers, and the ings may he so worked as to produce vertical, per pendicular, or horizontal flying. The number of turns given to tire handle de termines the height to which it is doited to go. Th handle has also to be turned every quarter of a league, to regulate tlie distance. The operation of turning lasts a minute. Horizontal flying is (he most d(limit; the wings heat (he air like the oars of a boat, or rath*, r as the feet of the swan when it swims. By means of this curious machine a man can go almost as rapidly as a carrier-p'genu, from the H-del de Ville to the Arc de Tromphe de I’Kioille in eight minutes, and iu half an hour to Versailles. Fire ia Augusta* We regret to notice the occurrence of a most disastrous lire in the city of Au gusta. 7t originated in the forth story of Mr. C. A. Platt’s Furniture Manu factory, which was entirely consumed loss $15,000 —insurance only $3,000. From the aforementioned building the flames extended to the new und elegant establishment, jo*t fitted up by Dr. Wm. S. Junes fur the Chronicle ts Sentinel. — This building, widt all tire new presses, types, s£e., was entirely destroyed—loss $15,000 and no insurance. Mr.Hoadly’s Carriage Ware Rooms, adjacent, were also partly consumed— l-*ss about $5,000. Tin* Constitutional tsl Office was also on fire ; hut the flames were extitiguised before much damage was dune. Tlie Post Office and Presby terian Lecture room, were also in danger ; but finally saved by th extraordinary efv forts of the firemen.
