Latest from the Pacific Least. Interesting from California, Oregon and Nicaragua. The Mosquito Question settled—Col Kinney Ban lulled from tlie Land of Promise. The steamship Star of the West, Capt. Mi ner, from San Juan the 18th iust. arrived at Key West the 23d inst. with passengers and treisure from San Francisco, the sth inst.— We have received copious files of California and Nicaragua papers, from which we gather the following interesting items. The mining news is most cheering, rain hav ing fallen in abundance throughout the State. The deep soil of the gulches, table lands, and whole hill sides were disappearing. The mines were all alive with laborers, and the miners, if not exactly ‘making hay while the sun shines/ are making gold while it dosen’r. The piles of earth which had been heaped up during the past summer were undergo 1 ng the wasting process, and the bright yellow gold was being extreated from them in large quantities. La bor was in demand in almost all portions of the m ning region, and men who had no ‘Capitol, but their labor, found ample oppor tunities for profitable investments of that. ’The southern mines were in full blast. Table mountain dirt, which had been lying so long •camparatively unvalnable, was yielding forth its immense—but not fabulous—treasures Some owners were willing to stake any amount that they could take out dally five pounds of igold as long as they had water, and all seem ed confident that their dirt would yield fully the large sums at which their heaps have been ’estimated The new receiver of Adams & f'o., Mr. Neglee, had recovered $130,000 of the assets of that concern. Mr. Jones, one of the orig inal receivers, had been released, by order of the Judge, from the custody of the sheriff.— Cohen was still restrained of his liberty.— Strong efforts have been made to defraud the creditors of Adams & Cos., but from the steps taken by Judge they have not proved entirely successful. The Legislature now in session have not ‘elected a successor to Di. G.win. The Know Nothings nominated Gov. Foote, but the Sen ate refused to go into a joint committee, by a vote of IT to i4. There was little hope of their changing this determination, and without doubt the Legislature wouid adjourn without -electing a Senator The public lands of San Francisco have “been decided by the U S. Commissioner to belong to Lemartoes’ the claimant. These lands cover nearly one-third of the city of San Francisco and are assessed at $5,000,000. The dates from Oregon are to the 19th Jan uary Hostility against the Indians had ceas ed for the winter. Gen. Wool and staff had returned to Cali fornia Gov. Stevens had returned to Port land. He is of the opinion that the winter is the only time to fight the Indians with any show of success. (This is contrary to the opinion of Gen Wool.) He says that the Indians are not hemmed in bv cold weather— that they can now be found congregated in numbers, and that they cannot well subsist in the mountains. But as soon as spring opens and the weather is warm, they can scatter in all directions into the mountain fastnesses. The Governor had left for Olympia to raise a volunteer corps to despatch to the “ alia Wal la, The U. S sloop of war Decatur was lying ashore at Seattle, Puget Sound. She was badly injured—being somewhat nogged—but her repairs were progressing rapidly The U. S. Steamer Active, Lt Alden, was in the Sound to protect the settlers and to re lieve the 11. S. troops stationed at Nisqua! ly- The U S. ‘Rev. Cutter, Jefferson Davis, Capt. Pease, had sailed for San Francisco. The clipper ship Flying Ragle had arrived at San Francisco in 120 days from New York The IT. S. steamer Massachusetts was at Mare Island, also the steamer John Hancock and schooner Fennemore Cooper From Nicaragua, the news is importn-I. The.Ministcr of Foreign relations had issued the following decree: TIIE SUPREME EXECUTIVE POWER TO THE PEOPLE. The title of Nicaragua to the Territory call ed Musquito, including the Port of San Juan del Norte, being notorious and incontestable, and whereas H. L. Kinney pretends, in vir tue of a purchase from Sheppard & Ila’ey, to be owner of the said territories, the people of this Republic, in the exercise of its facult es, decrees: The rights which the said Kinney pretends to claim in and upon the said Territory, are null and void, and of no effect, the same* being the property of the Republic of Nicaragua; and consequently every alienation made by the said Kinney is also void. Article 2d. The Minister of Ile'ations and the Interior is charged with ‘the publica tion execution ajul fulfillment of this decree. Given in Grenada, the Bth day of February 1856, Paric. Rivas. So that President Rivas and Minister Fer rer, by consent of Col. Walker, have found time in the mfclist of their “many engagements, to attend to the Musquito question, and with a single decree have set at rest a matter about which the limited Mates and England have quarrelled for years. Musquito is now an nexed to Nicaragua, and t ;ere will b * no ne cessity for further protocol explana’io ‘S of the Clayton Bulwer embroglio The decres accuses Kinney of conspiring against the integrity of the Republic, a id the qnestiou arose, what shouldjbe done with him? Should he be banished or taken and shot ? At this juncture Kinuey arrived at G enada, on a mission to Gen. Walker, and opene nego tiaCons with him for the peaceable division of the country, creating two ."states, one. of which should be culled Musquito To which Col- Walker replied, that if Nicaragua wished to divide her territory she should do so without advising with any one, and last of all with Mr Kinney. At this, Kinney, somewhat disconcerted but not disengaged/offered his services to the Re public, expressing confidence in his financial abilities, and suggesting that they would b ■ of great service to the country in the procure meut of money, the negotiating of luans. &c Col Walker ended the interview, by iufor u ing Col. Kinney tli it his antecedents pr ‘clu I ed the posibility of the State placing him in any official position, and closed by eau io dug him to be particular in his speech, or he might be guilty of uttering treasonable 1 mguag . Orders were soon after issued to the officer of the dky that Mr Kinuey could nit be allow ed to have the limits of the city, he was a (ir.s oner to the St te. Col Louis Schiepinger ha-; been appointed conferee to th Republic of Costa Rica, and had sailed for San Juan, the capital, she mission is a peaceful one, and is made to bring about a more favorable condition or affairs be tween the two States. The Government at last accounts had order ed Col. Kinney to leave the State, aud he left Genada the 15th for New Orleans. American National Council. We condense from our exchanges a report of the more important proceedings of the National American Council last week in ses sion at Philadelphia. After disposing of the contested seats from Louisauna by admitting delegates representing both Catholic and Protestant lodges as together they did not outnumber the vote to which that Mate was entitled, the Council proceeded tomoie impor tant busines.s I his was on Wednesday. Mr. Chauncey C. Burr, of New York, moved lor the appointment of a Committee of one from each State, to report business for the Council. Mr. Brewster, of Mnsseclmsetts, submitted the following as a substitute proposition : Whereas,The Twelfth Section of the platform adopted by the National Council in June, 1855, was neither proposed by the South nor sanctioned by the North, therefore said Section is hereby stricken out. Mr. Ely, of Massachusetts, proposed to add, and Mr. Brewster accepted, the words : “That as regards the subject of Slavery, we abide by the principles land provisions of the Constitution of the United States, yielding no more, and c aiming no less ” A disorderly discussion followed, but finally the previous questions was moved by Mr. Matthews of California, and sustained by the friends of the Fly and Brewster oroposition against the I vvelft .section men. The South howled,(we quote from the Tribune,) and some of them complained of gagging, but the vote was.brought on The ultra North wanted to divide the question, so as to take the strik ing out part first ; but the President ruled tills out of order. The North then pressed the \v ole—some of them only voting for it in the assurance that they could divide it and make the last clause stronger on the question of final adoption. The substitution (striking out Sect 12) was then carried by 104 yeas to 65 nays. The New York Delegation di vided about even. Otherwise it was nearly a clean sectional vote —all ihe Free States voting yea and the South nay. On the announcement of the result, Mr. Boteler of Virginia made a vigorous speech. He was constrained to believe that American ism is being fast raer ed into Abolitionism Practically, the Americanism of.the North is Abolition. I say of the American Party, I watched by its cradle ; 1 now stand by its grave It no longer exists in the land. The elements of which it was composed arc dissol ved. We will go home and take our prici pies and make them the basis of the union of the whole South She will presen an unbroken front in defence of her rights. The speech was received with great applause by the South, and created intense feeling throughout the Council, Ihe greatest confu sion ensued, but finally Gov- Call of Flordia was given the floor by common consent. He spoke in a, simil r though milder strain than Mr. Boteler. He said if the Twelfth Section was suricken out, he should consider the American party dead, dissolved, and should go home. The Southern men all around cheered him, and said “Yes, yes ” He closed, however, invoking pe ice, and moving an adjournment till to morrow, which was carried at 9 12 p. m. After adjourraent the Southern members held a caucus at which they determined to go out if the twelfth section was finally repealed, and appointed a Committee to secure a hall for their meeting. THURSDAY rROCEEDIXGS The Council re onsidered the Ely and Brewster proposition, by a vote of 9T to 87. The Southern men had nomemus additions from home, and the \ew York men nearly all voted to reconsider. The Washington Organ platform (the sub stance of which we published last Friday/ was then moved as a substitute for tne platform adopted in June. ” e again quote from the Tribune. The vote was declared,and the platform was abrogated— Yeas, one handed and thirty eight ; Nays, fifty-one. y States Yeas : New Hampshire—. Massachusetts two, Cos i neeticut six, Rhode Island four, New York thirty, New Jersey four, Deleware two, Florida one, Pennsylvania, thirty-three, Louis iana one, Odifornia one, Tennessee two, bio twenty-two, Wisconsin four, Indiana two, District of Columbia two, Illinois four, lowa tw<\ Nays: York one, Maryland six, Virginia nine, North Carolina two, Louisiana two, California one, Arkansas two, Tennessee nine, Lentncky nine, Indiana one. The question was amediatcly pressed on the substitute platform. There was a long and trying struggle and great rliso’d r before the voting on the substi tute was finished It was declared at 9 o’clock—Yeas, 108 ; Nays,77, and carried. Great rejoicing followed from the Nationals; and the New Yorkers, to whom the result is mainly due, Were essentially jubilant, ‘cenes ofterriable confusion followed. Crimination and recrimination were rife, and it seemed as if the assemblage would break up in a row. But it survived it all, a great deal better than the party will the new Platform. Several Western members pronounced the party dis solved and dead, and said they could not car ry their people on such a Platform. 11 : 15 p. m—The motion to ajourn sine die was defeated by a large majority, and a motion to adjourn to meet in New York in June next, finally prevailed. The Germans and Slavery. —The New York Tribune in answering a Mr. William Beschke, a correspondent of the Washington National Era, who contends that the German citizens of the Unit ed States are not “virtual and practical upholders of slavery,’’ says: “That the great majority of the German resi dents of this country, whether naturalized or not do practically favor not merely the existence, but the extension and diffusion of slavery, is a fact which stands out so prominently and palpably that we think no oue who possesses a 1 once intelligence and candor can deny it.” The Tribune's authority on this point is certain y indisputable, ami the efforts made by the Know Nothings to prove that class of our adopted citi zens dangerous to the - South, is thus proved to bc untrue by the ab ditiog organ of the country.—r Montgomery Advertiser. .Mexican Affairs. — New Orleans, Feb. 25. We have Mexican advices to Feb. T2d. From Ve ra Cruz, the intelligence is, that on the night of the 12th, the Castle of San Juari dTJllofi,. declared for Tamariz and against tne Government. There was some lighting on both sides with small loss of life, until the 20tii. when the Castle surrendered to the city authorities.—Sau. Journal. By Telegraph, For the Savannah Georgian.

There is still some excitement tegarding American affairs in England, but it is not general. The appointment of Mr. Dallas has calmed the fears of the people Tie peace Conference meets next week. Miss Murray in tSe United States. We have already given, says the Savannah Geor gian, several extracts from the book of Miss Mur ray, (late one of the Maids of Honor to Queen Vic toria,) who recently made an extensive tour in the United States. Wc subjoin the following ones : “We paid a morning visit to Washington Irving. He is a much younger looking man than I expect ed to see ; nothing of the petted or thespoilt favor ite in his simple, retiring manner ; he was all and more than I expected, and I felt unalloyed pleasure in such an introduction. PRESIDENT pierce. To-day I dined with the President, by the formal invitation of a week. The party consisted ot about thirty-two. I sat between Mr. Brodhead and Mr. Ashley, two members of the Senate, who have passed sometime in England. There were a good manj 7 ladies, but more gentlemen. The Pres ident and Mrs. Pierce sat opposite, on each side of the table, and I was near the former. The dinner was handsome, and well arranged in French fash ion ; flowrs and fruit only cli the table, and one dish at a time handed round. In the reception room there were some splendid white camellias, covered with flowers which I think are larger here than any with us: great use is made of the fir, like Lycopodium and the elegant Steevia, in the forma tion of ornamental boquets, some of which were placed at the disposal of the ladies. At 91 oclock the party broke up, having met a G o’clock. A MORMON DELEGATE TO CONGRESS. A gentlemanly, respectable-looking old man with a bald head. I did not inquire if he had twelve wives ; but an amusing account has been given me with regard to the domestic arrangements of that strange people. It seems that when the first wife wants help in the household, she petitions her hus band to take another spouse —a good cook or a dairy-woman, for instance, or a seamstress ; so one wife is housekeeper, another has the cooking de partment, a third manages the nursery, and so forth ; and as there is small difficulty in getting good servants in the United State:. this matrimo nial plan insures a more permanent and better or dered household than could be attained without it. i I am informed that the domestic troubles of a wife in the United States are such that, unless she re sides in the slave countries, she thinks it far more convenient to be first wife, with half a dozen sub ordinate ones, than to be sole darling, with the dis advantages of saucy servants and the discomforts of bad dinners ; so that, in fact, Republicanism, and an unnatural attempt at equality, have caused a return of the terible evils of poligamy. What a curious result. I hope this strange custom will not spread over the Union! MR. MARCY. I dined at the Secretary of State's with a large number of diplomatic gentlemen and only four la dies besides myself. The French minister Sat by Mrs. Marcy, and I had Mr. Marey on one side and the Spanish minister on the other. The dinner could not be otherwise than agreeable. The Sec retary is a remarkable frank, agreeable old man, and I was not afraid to joke with him a little about his republican aversion to court dresses. I found out the whole secret afterwards. In his drawing room there is an interesting picture, painted in the time of Louts XIV.. of the King and Queen sitting in their circle, while some gay ladies of the court crown Benjamin Franklin with a wreath of laurel. Franklin is uncontaminated by any attire more gay than his Quaker-looking habiliments, (though it seems he was occasionally seduced into a court dress, for a velvet one belonging to him isstill pre served.) and I guess the ladies around him were not without a little sly triumph of their own on the occasion that gave rise to the picture ; but it is evident to me that the scene was not one of a public reception, for no gentleman is present ex cept the King. Secretary Marcy was (I think) sentimentally led astray in his crusade against Eu ropean finery by this picture. I don’t the least be lieve (an accusation I have heard here) that his mo tive was to curry with the American public, who may imagine an ugly coat and republicanism synonymous terms. He is a down-right honest man, if ever I saw one ; end mith all his talents and knowledge of the American world, upon the subject of European dress he was much more like ly to err from simplicity than design. My neigh bor on the other side could ouly express himself in French and Spanish, and as the Secretary confines himself to plain English as well as plain coats, the Spanish minister is frequently obliged to have re course to an interpreter, which, in a delicate diplo matic conference, lie thinks is incouvsnient. Legislating under Difficulties. The present Legislature is said to contain more talent than is usually found in Georgia Legisla tures, and before the session commenced, great ex pectations were formed of the splendid results of its labors. If these hopes and these expectations are not realized, let it be remembered that the pre sent Legislature lias been surrounded by many diffi culties from the commencement of the session un til the present time. Many groat and absorbing local questions have divided the members into cliques and combinations, so that a man who stood | aloof from all these combinations and determined to act only for the general good of the whole State, presently found himself isolated or in a powerless minority. For several years back, the legislation of the State has been principally for the benefit of the two extremities, whilst central Georgia (that portion that pays a large proportion of the taxes) has been almost entirely neglected. In the conflict between upper and lower Georgia, the in terests of Middle Georgia have been placed between the upper and lower millstones, and been ground to powder. The great interests of the State, such as a Convention to amend the Constitution, Edu cation, a revision of the law creating a Supreme Court, &c.,has had to give way to the more pres sing claims for new Banks, new Medical Scliools 5 Dew Rail Roads and new Counties. That portion of the State that has been the principal beneficiary of former legislation, is now the most urgent for more favors, and fiom that other portion that has for many years received comparatively nothing, they would take away even that which she hath. — If the citizens of Middle Georgia had been unprro Stable servants, this conduct would have been just j but so far from this, they have borne the burden and heat of the day ;they have contributed largely towards building up those sections of the State that now give them the cold shoulder. We believe we see strong indications that liberal ex penditures will be made only when the money is to be expended in favored localities, but the purse strings of the State will be drawn tight when any thing is asked for Middle Georgia. We make no pretensions to prophetic vision, but we predict that if the State Road is sold, before the last install ment of the purchase money is paid, every dollar of it will he appropriated for the benefit of these localities that have paid little or nothing towards building the Road, aud that section with whose money principally the Road was built, will get nothing. Such legislation is neither liberal nor just ; but we sec no means of preventing it, unless the people of Middle Georgia shall arouse them selves from their lethargy, and demand their just rights. Whilst other portions of the State have been legislating for their local or personal benefit, they have been trying to legislate for the whole State, and by that means have been divided on dif ferent measures, and their influence neutralized. — If it should become necessary for Middle Georgia to combine for her protection, she has the strength und can force from other sections of the S*atc that justice which she in vain asks from their liberali ty. —Federal Union. On such, subjects the Testimony of Woman should he t.iken. New York, August 2,1852. Mrs. Clutc, of No. 272 second street, believing her child about three years old, tombe troubled with worms, purchased one bottle of Dr. M’Clane’s Celebrated Vermifuge and gave it two tea spoonful!, win l i had the effect of caus ing the child to discharge a large number of worms.— The child is now enjoying good health. We would advise all parents who may suspect their children to be troubled with worms to lose no time, but immediately purchase and administer Dr. M’Clanes Celebrated Vermifuge. It will cure. Tlie money will be refunded in all cases where it does not give satisfaction. will be careful to ask for DR. MeLAXE’g CELEBRATED VERMlFUGE,manufactured by FLEMING BUO., of Pittsburg, Pa.

Mrs Mary L.Thompson, daughter of Maj. Tandy W.Key, late of Henry county in the 31 year of her age. She had been for several years a consistent, and useful member of the Baptist church; of mild and cheerful dispo sition—she was beloved by a wide circle of friends and ac quaintances. Her death was sudden, but found her ready for the call, as her previous life attested, She was the mother of G children which she has left to the care of a be reft husband, who mourn her loss. She rests from her labors while her works follow her. Her memory is dear to those, she has left behind. May they cherish and imitate the pious example of her godly life.
