AGRIcULTURE IN CALIFORNIA. The N.
Orleans Picayune has the following artl-
Gle in relation TO the agricultural prospects
and physical advantages Of this delightful,
but almost unknown country. It was there,
we believe, that little more than centu-
ry ago, Swift located his Lilliput and
Brobdinag, as in land out of the reach
of geographical pursuit, or historical
knowledge. But Anglo Saxon civilization,
enterprise and skill are destined soon to
convert its waste places and wilderness
into smiling fields and gardens of plenty.
And the time may come when many oil
our Atlantic cities shall have gone down
like those in Oriental lands, when grass
shall grow ia tbeir streets, and brambles in
their palaces, that by the breath Of free
commerce of the Pacific, cities may spring
up rivalling in trade, splendor, and opu-
lence, many Of those we now look upon
as first in all that constitutes greatness;
CoTToN IN CALIFoRNIA-THE OREGON
SErrLERs.-We have been informed by a
gentleman, who left the Pacific coast in
December last, that two or three Ameri-
cans are about 10 engage in the culture OF
cotton in the lower part of Upper Callior-
mia, and that they feel confident Of raising
superior article and in great abundance.
Their rancho or plantation is not far from
San Diego, in lai. 33 degrees NJ, the eli
mate being warm and delightfully."- fine.
The same gentleman informs us that
many of the Oregon settlers have arrived
in the neighborhood Of the Bay Of San
Francisco, in the Upper California, and
taken up their abode there. So productive
is the land in the neigborhood Of San
Francisco, that one bushel of wheat sown,
frequently Yields crop Of seyenty-fye
bushels, and this with very little trouble,
while The climate is so dry and pure that
sickness is almost unknown. 10 Illus
,rate the remarkable dryness OF the ell
mate, it is only necessary to state iha'
wheel vehicles, furniture, &c, manutac-
turcd in New England Of the best season

this section of California and fall TO pie

American emgrants are constantly arriv

, San Francisco. Attic Yerba Buena tn
English is the principal language spoken
the AIcalde being an American, and IN
, time is not far distant when this part o
California will TEEN with Anglo-Saxos civ
iliza,ion and the thrifty products Of An

OPINION IN TEXAS. - The Galveston
News of February 8, speaks Of the reso-
lutions for the annexation Of Texas, which
have passed the House. and now pending
in the Senate, as having "the best chance
of success, among the great variety that
have been presented to Congress" Itsays;
"This bill, il will be remembered, leaves
to Texas an entire control over her own
territory, as well as the payment of her
national debt, allowing the Missouri com.
promise TO settle the limits of slavery
The people of Texas, we believe, will
prefer these terms to those Of the late
treaty. With a powerful and stable Go.
yernmeni, commanding the respect anc
confidence Of foreign nations, the lands o
Texas will speedily begin to appreciate
towards their intrinsic value. One hun
dred million acres of public domain, which
we probably have, will soon liquidate .
debt of four or five, or even ten millions
which is, at least twice The actual amour
received by this Government for all its out
standing liabilities. Whatever others ma,
say about this Government being "eyis
cerated OF its lands" and overwhelmed il
debt, the people Of Texas are perfect
willing to take the former, and guarant
the honorable payment Of the latter to tn
utmost farthing."

RRoLLToN MISSISSIPPI WEDNESDAY MORNING. 49,

TEXAS RESTORED TO THE UNION,
The struggle in the Senate is al last ter
minated, and the lairest and richest prov

Spain, to injustice and despoiism--is a.
gain embraced in our glorious confedera.

sacrificed this fine country TO the Jealousy
Of the monarchical spirit with which Bri-
fish influence, at an early period, infected
portions of the Union was busy on this
crisis 10 prevent its redemption from the
fate to which it had been consigned. But
all the articles Of this cunning, unscru-
pulous and most dangerous party could no
longer prevail; and on this day its power
in this country was broken, and we be-
lieve il can never be renovated. With

Florida, and Iowa, and Oregon--the whole

Union, all the MachiaveIian poicy,the in.

cess, will, for the future, be piled in vain.
The power Of federal Vaccinations will
be seen in the closeness Of the vote in the
Senate against the voice of the country.
One senator from Maine, two from Vir.
ginia, two from Tennessee, one from North
Carolina, one from Geogia, one from Lou.
isiano, two from Kentucky, one from Indi.
ana, two from Michigan, voted agains the
wellknown will of tho people of their re.
spcctive States. The joint resolutions
from the House, blended with those of Mr.
Benton in the Senate, would, with those
votes, have passed by a vote of 40 to ~
The question, under party drill, was car
ried only by 81 to 25!!-sos much more
potent is party discipline than popular au
thority. Several OF the members of the
federal party, il is known, were strongly
inclined to vote the wishes of their con
stituenis. Messrs. Johnson, OF Louisiana

Mississippi, had the manliness and thu
moral courage to discharge this high duty

It is not the building up States in distant

advantage of that which the great God OF
nature has vouchsaied 10 us as heritage.

ORIGIN OF THE coLoRED RACE. - The
lower order of the Brazilian race have q
very singular theory for accounting for
the origin of the colored race. AT the
time OF the creation of Adam, say they,
Satan looked on and formed a man of clay,
but everything he touched became black.
He determined to wash MIN white in the
Jordan; on his approaching, the river re-
tired, and he had only time to push the
black man on the wet sand, which touch
ing the soles of his feet and the palms Of
his hands, accounts for the whiteness Of
those parts. The devil in state Of ir-
ritation struck his creation on the nose, by
which the iatness of that organ was caus.
ed. The negro then begged for mercy,
and humbly represented that no blame
could be attached to him, upon which the
other, somewhat paci6ed, patted him on
the head, and by the heat of his hands
curled his hair in the way it is seen at the
present day. Morier's Irdrets.

INVENTION We learn from the Vicks.
burg Sentinel that our old friend, Major
GRAY, is the inventor Of new motive
power in the wheels Of steamboat, which
Is likely 10 be a valuable improvement
in steam navigation. The Sentinel says:
ait gives a perfectly horizontal action
10 the buckets, avoiding completely the
surplus power necessary in the wheel as
il strikes downward on entering the wa
ter, and lifts upward when leaving il. II
also avoids the lateral friction Of the pro-
peller; and is equally as simple in con.
struction. Il gives each bucket per
fectIy horizontal stroke Of 30 feet with.
out the slightest upward or downward re-
sistance Of the water, and accomplished
the whole with only one pinion and ra
chet, 10 addition to the crank which nov
conveys the power 10 the ordinary wheel.

OPINION OF THE PRESIDENT OF TEXAS
ON ANNEXATION. -The Nashville Union
says, from conversation with Maj. Don
eson, we are gratified TO learn that the
present Executive Of Texas, SO far from
encouraging the party in Texas adverse
TO annexation, as has been stated 10 many
Of our public journals, may be relied on
to carry out faithfully the wishes OF the
great body of the people. The result Of
the recent election in the United States
was highly acceptable to President Jones
and as an indication of the opinion Of ths
people Of the United States, met with Q
hearty response in all the branches Of the
Texas government.

The following communication will serve
10 show the Importance Of the CALIFORNIA;
to the United States:
CALIFoRNIA,-I am surprised 10 notice
in some of the papers a disposition to
treat with levity the recent report Of an
attempt on the part Of Great Britain to
get possession Of the CALIFORNIA;. This
can only proceed from profound ignorance
of events in that part of the globe. The
fact that the whole of that coast has been
surveyed by British cruisers, under drec.
ton of their government, is well atiested
and established. The bays Of San Diego
and Francisco we're sounded throughout,
which occupied more than a year, and
must have been attended with great ex-
pense, for what other motive than its uItl-
male possession? 1t it well known that
overtures were made by Great Britain tc
Mexico in ls40; and the Caliornians
were at that time daily expecting TO heal
of the contamination OF the purchase
To this purport letters from sevefa
distinguished individuals were publish
ed in the papers of this city; and it is with.
| in the knowledg of the writer that sufii'
cient importance was attached to the same
10 induce correspondence with some oil
the members of Congress, calling their at
tention to our interests, which we're 50
much involved in the procedure.
Our last adyices show that California
was again in state of revolution, the ma
lives wishing TO expel the Mexicans, and
with every prospect OF success. General
Mitcheltorena was then beseiged at Mon.
terry. The natives had seized upon the
greater part Of his munitions, and obtain
ed full possession Of the interior. The
struggle, we learn, was expected 10 be O.
short continuance, and the defeat of the
Mexicans was beyond doubt. Mexico vii
readily relinquish what she is unable tc
hold; and if, by SO doing, she can relieve
herself from the large debt due our Cit
zens, she will be gamer BY the opera
ton. The only important harbors for ou
vessels from Cape Horn, by the Columbi'
river, are the two above mentioned. De
