THE PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT OF
CALIFORNIA.

The following article is found in the New York
Evening Mirror" Of the 10Th, yesterday:
"CoLosEL STEVENSON suPERsEpED.-The Wash
ington correspondent Of the Courier and Enquirer
states that Colonel Mason, of the LIST regiment Of
United States dragons, who has recently been
promoted to that command, left Washington for
this city on Saturday, whence he will sail for
Chagres, cross the isthmus Of Panama, and proceed
to Monterey, on the Pacific coast in anticipation Of
the arrival of Colonel Stevenson of the Calfornans
When the redoubtable colonel does land, he will
find that Otheo's occupation q gone and tina, COL
Mason ia his superior and immediate commanding
officer, with all the power conferred upon himself,
until relieved by General Kearny."
The facts are, that Colonel Stevenson went out
only as colonel of his regiment. If he found him
self Senior military officer he would, ofcourse, COM
mand oil the forces there; but it was expected that
Gen. Kearny would be there before Col. s arrived.
Colonel Mason has gone out and ranks Colonel s ,
and General X. ranks him. 1t is probable that
Colonel Mason may reach California before
General Kearny, in which case he will take the
command. The colonel on deserves all the compli-
ments which the New York Courier pays him in
the following remarks, if we may judge from the
character he has already attained and from the i'm
pressions which every every one who sees him de-
rves from the amiabe as well manly bearing Of
the man. .,..
"REMARKs.-We do know Mason well, and have
served with him at different stations He is noble,
dashng, thoroughgoing officer, and has no superior
in his grade in the army. He is just the man to
make something out of Stevenson and his Cafor-
mans, who composed Of good materials, and only
require to be in proper hands. Even Stevenson
himself will be found useful and valuable as sub
ordinate, because he possesses energy of character
As a com nandant he certainly does not deserve to
be trusted and we are pleased that the government
has determined to relieve him."

Correspondence Of the Unonl
BALTIMORE, Nov. III, SIP. m.
Great anxiety is evinced here for the perusal Of
the official dispatches from General Taylor, which
are now understood to have reached Washington.
The election in the httle State OF Delaware, yes
terday, supposed to have resulted in the election Of
William Tharp (dem.,) for governor, bur sufficient
returns have hardly been received yet to form GER
tain opinion. Ia New Castle county, Tharp has
majority Of 81, which is gain Of 227 votes, tho
wings having had majority ar the last governors
election Of l66 in the county when they carried the
State bur by forty-hve majority. The two other
counties, Kent and Sussex, have not yet been
heard from. Houston, the wing candidate for Con-
gress, however, has a majority Of 10 in Newcastle
county, and the wing legislative ticket was carried
by the same majority.
There seems TO be no doubt Of the truth Of tho
statement that Mike Walsh is lying at The point of
death. The New York correspondent Of the Phila-
dephia Ledger states that, on Tuesday afternoon he
was not expected 10 live from one moment to ano-
Their. see no further mention Of the sickness Of
the newly elected Governor Young, of New York.
In the Batnore markets, to-day, there were some
saies OF Howard street Hour made at IS so; which
shows that the news by the steamer has had no
permanent effect on prices. Offers were freely made
TO sell at IS 62, but buyers refused to give over
IS 50. The decline in exchange, and advance in
freights, will not, it is thought, Justify a higher
rate. City mills is held at IS 50 S. rs, which is
above the views Of buyers There has also been q
further decline in grain Sales of good to prime red
wheat were made at los ll2 cents; white do, fou
family -four, lis 1875; new white corn IS Sc
cents, and yellow do so cents Nothing doing in
old white or yellow; oats % 30; rye 81 cents; and
whiskey % a "a cents.
| At New York, to-day, the -four market was
heavy Sales OF southern description at s6, and
dull; Genesse So O6I a Sc 1871 There was fair
demand for grain, and prices have fallen back Gen.
esee wheat 100 l25 cents, and western mixed 100
a ia cents; yellow corn "a n cents; white do.
10 a ~ cents; rye 7Sa 30 cents. The cotton mar
ket is hrm, and sales to a fair extent.
AT Philadelphia, to-day, the -four market was
without animation, and prices hat declined to the
point they were at previous to the arrival of the
| steamer.

not enough to heal up the divisions created by
the split
The indications are that tho new consultation has
been adopted notwithstanding the tremendous ma
jonty against it in this part OF the State result
at which for one cannot but rejoice, weroH only
for the reason that tho financial policy Of the State
is thereby settled for the next quarter OF century,
and will thus cease to be fertile source Of intestine
divisions and continual disaster TO the democratic
party Negro suffrage is nowhere. In the poPulou.
county Of Westcheser for instance so far as heard
from, II has bat TOO votes.
The news by the steamer has given fresh I'M
pulse to the grain and provision market generally.
good deal depends, however, on the length OF
time for which the canal remains open. The amount
produce at Buffalo, and the canal at that end,
is immense.
The weather continues wet and dissgreeable.

We find report in the last New Orleans BuIe-
tin which we have received, that "Gen. La Vega
has been officially notified by his government that
Captain Carpenter, and the crew Of the Truxtun,
have been exchanged for him and his fellow-Prison-
ers Of war, who were taken at Resaca de 10 Palma,
and they are only waiting for the ratification of the
agreement by our government to leave for their
country"
This statement is fully confirmed by the informa'
ton which we have received to-day ut the War or
fee. Not only has the agreement been confirmed
by our government, but we understand tina, orders
have been issued by Major General Scott for tn,
release Of General Vega and his officers.

The wing journals are hard at work to cipher
out the result in the state as rebuke to the tariff OF
1896 to the Mexican war to the administration, to
Mr.. Wright, and SO on, just as the humor OF the
individual writer inclines him. The figures show,
however, that it is simply an overthrow of our
party, brought about by its own divisions, and the
anu-rent movement mainly, aud which these ele-
ments were competent to produce, il Mr.. Folks
administration had never bean heard Of Take first
the anti-rent counties, and compare their vote this
year with what il was in 1874.

CIV. KEARsr -The Washington Union, In no
tciDg a statement that General Keamy Is a DEM
ocrat says that they learn that he is gallant and
liberal whig.n
The Washington Union lie misinformed. Gen
Kearny is not a wing. Although not partisan, he
is TO be classed Democrat and, If freed from the
restraints which his station, as military man, I'm
pose upon him, he would be found acting with tina
party so far, at least, he could consclenuously
do so.-St Louis Rspubtean. ..u
We would be happy to receive General KearnJ
into political communion, if he were once Il
lay aside his epauets. But democrat or wing, h
is no ordinary man. The impression we had I'M
bibed of his political opinions was drawn from tn
most respectable authority.

The press continues to speculate upon the plans
Of the campaign. Il teens wilh rumors about the
movements Of the different corps of the army.
Now, il peremptorily sends General Taylor forward
to Satllo, under positive and direct orders from
the Secretary of War" which are said to have been
carried out by Major Graham. Another part OF The
communicative press insists upon 1t that Genera
Wool, after taking chihuahua, will join Gen Tay-
lor, and then they will march together TO San Luis
de Potosi. In truth, the gosspng press appears
to know more about the campaign than the mana
gers themselves behind the curtain.
Then comes another batch Of rumors-viz that the
war is TO Gag until the Congress Of the 9Th Of De
eember meets at Mexico We are to have no more
alarums-no more arms-the whole scheme of"yig-
prosecution OF the war" is TO be exchanged for
period of inactivity, amounting in fact to an armis-
tice.-Anon, another Of the federal herads starts
up, cries danger to be lowering over General Tay-
ors corps, and calls out, in the name of the FAINT
lies Of the soldiers who are now at Monterey, for
more reinforcemests. But, mean while, Gen. Taylor
himself has called for no more volunteers to b,
drawn from the several States; and with the aces
sion Of those whom he is said have sent for fron
the banks Of the Rio Grande, he will have 9,OOt
picked men with him, and leaving, too several thou
sand effective men at the posts on the river.
We would most respectfully advise little NOR
caution to be practised by the ingenious men VIII
contribute to the press in laying down plans Of tn
campaign and of the marching of troops. Thes
ingenious speculatons may, after all, turn out to b
mere visions Of the Imagination.

GENERAL BUTLER.

We had the pleasure of conversing with an officer
to-day, who arrived last evening in Washington
from the camp at Monterey, which he left on the
9Th October. He was engaged in the memorable
action of the 2ls in the staff Of General Qutman,
and of course, was one Of the gallant band who
suffered mos. severely on that day. He states that
he was frequently near General Butler during this
action, until he received his wound-saw much Of
what passed on that occasion--but saw or heard
nothing to justify the idle rumors which have been
in circulation, respecting any difference between
Gen. Taylor and General Butler. He added further,
that if any such circumstance occurred, he must
have heard from the persons with whom he as.
sociated; but that he heard nothing about it be-
fore he left the camp, nor until he reached the Uni
ted States He cannot entertain doubt, that the
whole rumor is gratutous, and without founda-
ton.

small revolving pistol, and with percussion
