FROM CALIFORNIA.
From the New oheans Times, Dec. s,h.


Mr.. Joseph II. Cutting arrived here yesterday
from San Francisco, having lief, that place on the
1lth OF October That genteman came over
land, by the way Of the city OF Mexico and Vera
Cruz, which port he left on the Both uIiimo, IN
the brig Tit, Captain Radovioh. Mr.. Cutting
had been one year in California, ont of which he
spent torty-two days in the gold region. He
there collected, by himself alone, some fifteen
hundred dollars in the pure metal-his only in
struments beng pick-aXe, shovel, pan, aud
butchers knife.
While Mr.. Cutting was on the placer, lump
of gold was found, weighing eighteen ounces
Some curious incidents in traffic among the dig
gers have been mentioned TO us, Of which The
following is specimen:
a friend OF MIR. Cuttings once purchased five
loads (barrow, we presune,) ot the soil collected
Iy one of the independent laborers, for four
pounds Of pure metal. These, when ,rituraed
washed, ana sified, produced the SPECTATOR tif
teen pounds, yielding him 300 per cent on the
outlay.
Mr.. C. states that the placer is 400 miles long,
and from 100 to l25 miles broad, as tar as ii has
yet been explored. lie bruu- lit several large
specimens with him, some weighing to the value
OF $33. He gives u glowing description Of the
country and It's abundant resources. Provisions
were very high. Flour, in the gold region, S5t
per barrel boots, 80 per pair; shoes, from 81
to So; brandy, SIS per bottle; board, SIS PEI
week, and everything III proportion.
We have files OF the G. llilornan from Sar
Francisco to the I'm OF October.
SLAvEkY.-ln reference TO The slave question
the editor says:
We believe we echo the sense of the country
when we assert that slavery is neither needed o
desired here, and that If their voice could b.
heard in the halls of our national Legislature,
would be, as the voice of one man: -"Rathe
than put this bhghlng curse upon us, let us re
man, as we are, unacknowledsed, unaldcd."
MoRE GOLD. Gold has been ately found OF
the American fork, as well as near the CuL.t
de los Angeles. The sckly season was over OF
the Sacramento, but would be followed by tn
raining season, about the beginning Of Novem

Arrival ofthe Steamer Sarah Sands,

The steamer Sarah Sands arrived at

having made the passage from Liver.

THE CHoLERA.-A letter from st.
Petersburgh, of the Sd of January, rep
resents the cholera as much less mallg-
nant than it was in 1881 and 1882, and
as becoming weaker as it advances
nor,hwards. At Moscow,from the 9Th
to the ll,h ul,imo, there were l19 cases
and 81 deaths. In the eastern portion
of the empire the Governments OF IA
san and Orembourg have suffered most.
At this time the disease is raging in the
western provinces bordering on Turkey
and Galicia.
TRELAND..-D Discerning the Peasantry.
In various directions government
agents ate actively engaged in disarm-
ing the peasantry. A large body Of
police, whose movements are kept Sc
cret, generally meet at a given place at
midnight, spread themselves over a CIV
en- district, and at early morn COM
mence the search for fire arms in the
huts and dwellings within the district.
Tipperary, Kings county, p%artsof Clare
and Limerick, the Barony Of Clonlisk,
Nenagh and other parts have thus been
bounced upon, sometimes with success:
sometime. without. In Nenagh and its
vicinity fifty stands Of arms were ssiz-
ed. 1t is suggested in a London paper
that by %"subjecting ONE of the parties
already in custody to the full penalty
of two years Imprisonment by way OF
example, it may be relied upon that the
people will soon acquire a dlstaste for
the secret possession Of fire arms.
Gases of death from starvation in the
South and West continue to be report

Who is RESPONSIBLE?

The wings are responsible at the bar
Of public opinion for the continuation
OIL this war. If they had acted prompt
ly and energetically during the present
Congress, we should have had an early
peace. This rests upon the opinions
Of some Of the est distinguished Off
GERS in the army. But instead ofco-op.
Grating in the vigorous prosecution OF
the war, they have displayed the most
reckless opposition. Letter after let
ter, article after article, has been pour.
ed from the press against it. Speech
follows speech In both houses OF Con-
eress. Near ten weeks have passed.
and not a new regiment has been au-
;horized to be raised. The earnest rec
ommendation of the Secretary of War
has been disregarded. No money has
been raised; but difficulties have been
thrown in the way OF raising loans.-
The money can be obtained on the best
terms, upon the Secretary's plan. But
the wings have set their faces against
il. Speeches are now going forth to
raise a panic in the market. The chair.
man Of the Committee Of Ways and
Means is attempting to prove that we
shall want twice as much money as the
Secretary estimates, and the effect will
be to enhance the difficulty Of getting
it. Authorize a duty on tea and coffee,
and permit treasury notes to be
issued, or let one of theseme asures be
adopted, and the money can be raised
on excellent terms, as the Secretary
wants it. There can be ne doubt about
all this; and yet a stumbling block is
continually thrown in the way Of the
loans.
For these political transgressions the
day of reckoning will come, and dearly
will the wings rue their opposition to
the honor of their country at the next
presidential election. They are now
sowing the wind, to reap the whirlwind
but, in the mean time, this 'moral trea.
son" is calculated to produce its worst
effect upon the enemy. As soon as
they see the dilatory course ofthe wings
and suspect that they will not vote sup.
plies, the Mexicans will not only aban.
don all thoughts ofnegotiation, but they
will begin TO rally their scattered forces
and attempt to cut off some wing or
detachment Of our army. When we
took their city, they persevered inrrais.

Trouble Among the Indians.

The Pittsburg Gaz. has a Geographic
despatch dated st. Louis, Feb. 7, l848,
which that a messenger has
arrived from Fort Mann, with news
from that place, dates to the goth of
January, ten days later than the advl-
COS previously received.
BY the messenger we have news OF
much Importance, and learn that Col.
Giipin was still at Fort Bent, in much
trouble.
The Indians in New Mexico bid fair
to be very troublesome.
1t is said that the Mexicans and Ca
manche Indians are gathering in the
South in grea, force, about $50 miles
from Fort Bent; and were preparing
for an attack upon that fort.
Col. Gilpin, was making every prep
aration, not to receive them, but to
march against them and attack them
in their rendezvous.
The means at Col. Gilpin's command
were very limited, but he hoped to be
able to march by the middle of Februa-
ry. The greatest difficulty was expe-
rienced at the fort in obeying the orders
of Col. Gilpin. His horses are all dead,
and Of 800 cattle only 10 now remain,
and the wolves are daily lessening this
number.
An attempt was made at Fort Mann
to send stores to Col. Gllpin, with little
success. A detachment Of troops,
Lieut.. O'Hara, which was ordered to
escort a suffers train, deserted to a
man. A Court Martial had been or
dered, but the result had not been as
certained. 3

The apportionment bill is now in the

the majority on this floor a pass it

The undersigned look upon that bill,
containing as it does, provisions for the
division Of one Of the counties Of this
State, as a daring infraction on the con-
stitution, and violation Of all establish
cd usages. We look upon it as un-
last and unfair, and, intended to per.
petuate, at the expense Of justice and
right, a party in power, shown to be in
a minority at the late election, and one
especially in a minority on the great
issues Of Jul day, the questions con-

Of returning justice, but have done SO
