ACTION OF MIsSISSIppr

The State Convention of delegates met
at the city of Jackson on the 1st instant.
7'hc Hon. w. i. .Sharkcy presided, as
sisted by Gov Mathew as Vice President.
From the Mississippian, VIC learn that its
members were leading citizen, and from
every section of the State" That paper
says "the proceedings were marked 'by a
high tone and dignity, by cool dclibcr-
alton, bya disposition to avoid minor
questions, by a fcrvent desire to promote
harmony and good feeling, and to lay
aside all thoughts of party nature"
This Convention met for action few
speeches were made, but the report and
resolutions adopted are worth all the
speeches that might have been made in a
months session of the Convention.
The resolutions which embady, def
mite action, are as follows:
"rhat the legislaturc.is hereby reoucs-
ted to pass such laws as may, in their
opinion, be best calculated to encourage
the emigration of citizens ,of the slave
holding States, with slaves to the new
territories ofthc United States.
"7'hat, in view of the frequent and in
crcasing evidence of the determination of
the people of the non-slavc- holding states
to disregard the guarantees of the consti-
tuition, and to agitate the subject of sla-
very, both in and out of Congress, avow-
edly for the purpose of cffecting its abo-
lition in the States; and also, in view of
facts set forth in thc,latc Address of the
Southern Members of Congress, this Con
vcntion proclaims the deliberate convic-
tion that the time has arrived when the
Southern States should take counsel for
their common safety; and that u convcn-
tion of the slavoholding States should be
held at Nashville, Tenn, on the 1st Mon
day in juno next, to devise and adopt
some mode of resistance to thAse aggres-
sions; and that this CT envcntiondo appoint
twelve delegates and twelve altcrnates--
being double the number of our Senators
and Representatives in Congipss at-
tend such Convention, aud that the othor
slaveholding States be in tied to appoint
delegates agreeable to the same ratio of
representation.

$4,000 men arc working in Sacramcn-
to, aed it is estimated that within the year
ending next January, they will have OBJ
tanned little less than twenty million of
dollars. The San Joaquin divides with
Sacramento the gold seekers. The guam
tity of gold there is apparently as large
as ever, though the soil is wrought and
rc-wrought. In ,Stanislaus the largest
Jumps vary from half an ounce to fifteen
pounds. Thousands are waiting the low
water to work on the bars of this wealthy
river. The dry digging creeks yield
thousands of ounces. These diggings
are nearly deserted for lack of water to
wash gold The Sacramento still Yields
ten to fifteen ounces per day to industri-
Gus laborcrs. The bar near where the
gold was first discovered, which was over
looked, has been wrought with great sue
cess, three men having averaged about
two hundred dollars daily.
For about two weeks before the Pana-
ma left, the weather on the river where
the finest gold was found, was still favora-
bic.
Ayabcck River is said to be the finest
place for making aeney by steady wor-
kcrs. The Indians trade briskly there.
The American River north, has miners
with machinery, and with the use of quick
silver in the mines, continues to produce
extraordinary results, giving not less than
four to five ounces per day to hand.
Tuoluine and Mcrccdas rivers are only
skinned over, but with brilliant success.
Many diggers have turned towards the
ravincs of the Sutavers, where fortunate
miners earn 10000 dollars in two weeks.
some 10000 men are on San J.oacquin
and its tributaries, who estimate that they
will earn by January, some 10000, 900
1t is reported that new and valuable gold
mines have been discovered on Turkee
river, on the other side of the Sierra Ncv-
ada. Parties from the Northern Forks
are on their way thithcr. From five hun
dred to thousand dollars are said to be
obtained there per day.

w hSilNtlON, WV W
The Maryland election has resulted, as
! suggested that it probably would, in the
election Of three Wings and three Demo
Gratis, and the Wings arc reduced TO a mi
nority of one in the next House rs the
matter now stands. But the Democrats
expect very confidently a gain of one
Member from Mississippi, and have some
hopes of gaining another in Louisiana.
Thus, VIC shall scarcely know till Con-
gress meets, which party will have the
nominal majority-for it will be but nom
inal on either side. If a portion of the
Free Soilers should, as they probably
will, stand aloof, it will be extremely
doubtful which party will prevail in the
organization of the House.
Some of the Wings, notice, affect an
indiffcrence-which Gen Taylor himself
really fcels-to the political character
and organization of the House. But it is
no small thing to party to have the
Speakership and the Committees. The
Democrats-if they get twill know
how to turn it to account for the purpos-
cs of the next campaign.
From SANTA FE AND CmuuAuuA.-
The st. Louis Republican of the 1st
has letters from Independence containing
accounts from Santa Fc to the 9th of
September, and from Chihuahua to the
1st of August
The news from chihuahua is thus
summed up:
a large party of Texans were in the
city ON their way TO California, dispiritcd
and discontented. They had frequent
quarrcls among themselves, and three OF
their number had been lahcd, but day
or two before, by other members of their
party. They say that if they do not
find gold in California, they will find it in
some Mexican ranches near at hand.-
The cholera was raging with fearful VIC
lenco within three hundred miles of Chi
huahua, and it is expected to be there in
very short time. The principal vic
Tins were the poor and more degraded
classes.
A letter says:--
The Indians are much worse here now
than they have ever bccn-they have
killed at least fifty Mexicans in the last
two weeks within twenty miles of Chi
'huahua Mr.. Vaughan fall victim to
their atrocity about fourteen days since,
out beyond the Sacramento. Iwent out
and assisted in the burial. 1t was hor-
riblc sight to behold-they had scalpcd
him and cut off his right hand and leg.

cept allusion to Indian troubles.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.
The public mind has been lately much
excited, by the disclosure of the startling
fact, that the Cabinet was advised early
in May, by our Minister in Paris, Mr..
Rush, that the French Government was
hostile to this country, and would seek
an occasion for a quarrel, and further that
Louis Napoleon had avowed the purpose,
if driven from his policy of peace, to make
war first upon the United States. There
is no doubt that strong letter TO this eff
feet was received by Mr.. Clayton, and
perhaps, by the same packet which con-
veyed to M. Poussin his instructions to
demand redress, for an alleged grievance,
in the detention of the Eugenie, and that
it impressed Mr.. Clayton with the belief
that France was emulous of a difficulty.
Phc same letter of May Sd, contains a
recommendation not noticed in the New
York prints, TO this cffect-that the u. s..
should exhibit a large naval force in the
Mediterranean, the minimum amount of
which it states-and that proper tone
be assumed at once by this Government.
The idea of Mr.. Rush is that France is
closely allied with the dcspotism of Eu-
rope, anti1f she does not make war upon
England, it Is for The reason, that she is
not yet prepared for TINT encounter, and
that Louis Napoleon will crafty the pas
sion of the French for war, and his own
enmity to rcpublicaninstitutlons, promote
his own ambitious views, exercise his ma
tional marine, and fill his Golfers ith the
plumber of our commerce by war upon
the United States.
l am very certain that some of the
members Of the Cabinetillave expressed
apprehensions that the difficulties of
which we are thus forewarned are not
likely to be avoided. For several weeks
past, the Philadelphia North American,
q paper supposed to represent the viey S
of MIR. Clayton has repeatedly and earn
estly warned the commercial community,
that they were indulging in false secu-
rity IN regard to our relations withFrancc
united foran evcntful emergency should
one occur. / have no doubt, that the
1merican spoke advisedly, and for that
reason many presses of both parties have
aidiculcd what they called its croakiugs.
We shall soon know something more de-
finite as to the temper of France.

SnooHING EvENr.-It has become our
PAINFUL duty to record one of the most
tragic events which the annals of our
State presents, the death of John a. Gel
clough, Jun. On Saturday evening last
he was called on by Mrs. Marshall, the
wife of Richard Marshall, to make some
effort to protect her from the wrongs
which had been inflicted on her by her
husband. Prompted by the generosity
OF his nature, he Immediately went, ac-
eeompanled by his brother and brother-in-
law, to the house occupied by Marshall
at a distance of some three or four hun
drcd yards from his residence. Marshall
being called aft"r some time came out to
meet them in the ymd-lcalning who
they were and what had brought them
to his house, he became furiously enragcd,
which was increased by the rcmonstrance
and rcproof which they addressed to him.
Being held by one of the gentlemen by
the collar, he desired him to let him oct
his coat-was permitted to enter his house
for the purposc-and as soon as he en-
tered he seized his gun and fired at Mr..
John A. ColcIough. The load entered
his head and he fell without word. The
gun, we understand, was loaded with
duck-shot and slug of lead. This oc-
Cured after night but the moon was

LsMENTABLE AFFAIR AT QCINcy, Mass.
The dead body Of young lady, named
Harriet 4. NighteDgale. daughter Of Mr..
Moses Nightingale, was found on Tuesday
last in the canal, not far from, the resi- lence
ri the late John Quincy Adams. 1t seems
that Miss Nightingale had formed an at
tachnient for young man residing in
Quincy; and. at first, she thought that her
affection might be reciprocated. But, at
tending church last Sabbath, she heard
read the name Of her lover declaring his
intentions Of marrying another young
lady. This drove her to madness. and
going home, she passed the night in a
DIRE adful state Of mental excitement. On
Monday, she wrote letter, directed to her
late lover, which she dropped in the post
office; and it is presumed that the same
night she put an end to her existence by
throwing herself into the canal. Since
the recovery Of her body, the contents Of
tho letter have been made public. In il
she expressed deep affection for the
young man-stated that she had rejected
many suffers on his account. and that as
he was about marrying another, she could
lot bear the thought Of living. Miss
Nigh,engale was about 81 years Of age.
and bore high reputation among large
circle Of devoted friends.-Boston TrareI-
