CALIFORNIA EMICRANTs.-Our streets have been
crowded with California wagons during the past
week. Those who have come from Michigan, Wis.,
consin and the northern part Of Illinois, have had
very hard time Of it. Many Of the oxen are alto
gether too young for the journey, and already look
jaded out. A party from Wisconsin very wisely
unloaded at our lcvee on Monday last for the pur-
pose of shipping their heavy articles from this place
up the Missouri river to 81 Joseph.
The poor prospect and uncertainty Of getting IN
early start SO 70 food for their teams hss
discouraged many, and several in this vicinity have
indefinitely postponed their visit to California. We
do not believe that than half Of the multtudes
who viii congregate at Independence and st Joseph
viii get of before the LIST Of July, which win make
1t too late to get through.

THINGS IN WASHINGTON.


"Independent, the correspondent Of the
Philadelphia North American, writes
(March llth, as follows:
1t has been decided, after full consulta-
ton between the President and Cabinet,
not to submit any nominations for Office,
except where vacancies exist or may oc-
cur before the period Of adjournment
This rule will be rigidly observed, unless
sufficient reason should appear to induce
change of policy, at the Council which
will be held Tomorrow.
The foreign missions Of all grades are
to be governed by the same principle, and
no appointments will be made for months
to come. Apart from the obvious propri-
ETY. Of this rule, considerations connected
with the state Of the Treasury require It
to be rigidly observed. The instalment
OH the Mexican indemnity will soon be
due, and other large demands upon the
Treasury are accrulng, which with the de-
clining revenue from the customs and lands,
require the utmost vigilance and care to
protect the Government against embar-
rassment. Mr. Meredith has, therefore,
very properly determined, as precau-
tionary measure, TO husband every re-
source and not TO apply appropriations,
that may be consistently deferred with adj
vantage to the public interests.
Mr. Walkers recommendation for the
issue of five millions of Treasury notes
was lost in the Committee Of Conference
on the last night Of the session, which me-
cessarily reduces the expected means of
Government to that extent, in the event of
serious depreciation in the revenue ;but,
with this loss, there was an incidental gain
to the amount Of million and a quarter
for the Cherokee claims, which the con-
ferees abandoned. Consequently the act
ual condition Of the Treasury is better by
this sum than was expected when the esti-
mates Of deficiency were published, in
Guiding the Cherokee claim.
The appropriations for salaries and out
hts are attached to the bill for the ensuing
fiscal year, commencing on the first Of Ju-
~ next, and as they, with other appropri-
atoms depending upon the same principle,
make up large aggregate, which is now
important to the Treasury. it has been con-
sldered most prudent to postpone any draft
upon the limited resources which are now
at the command OF the Secretary.
Besides this proper consideration for the
condition Of the Treasury, It must be man.
ifest to every rejecting mind, that these
important foreign appointments cannot be
filled with due regard to the public in
terests and to the claims Of individuals, in
the midst of pressure and confusion which
now exists. The same remark Justly APP
plies to the local patronage.
Mr. Penrose, to whom the post Of As
sistant Secretary Of the Treasury was ten
dered by Mr. Meredith, has accepted and
arrived. He will enter upon his new du-
ties tomorrow to the qualification Of all
who know the value of his services to the
Government and the ability with which
he formerly conducted an equally impor-
tant office.

The superb New Orleans Steamer AHARAxrH,
Capt. G. W.ATcHIsoH, on her way up to this place
on Yesterday week came in collision with the Doctor
Franklin, and Immediately sunk. It is feared she
may be total loss. She had been made almost
anew at great expense, and was estimated to be
worth $4,000. The Captain who owned seven
eghths ofthe boat had no insurance. She had enga-
ged full cargo to new Orleans from this place.
Sixty persons were crushed 10 death, prin-
cipally lads between fourteen snd seventeen years
OF age, on the night OF the nth February, in the
Theatre at Glasgow, Scotland. The al1rm ofire cir
cuated through the house, and in the rush to get out
those occupying the gallery, trampled each other to
death.

THos EwiSo, the new Secretary Of the Home De-

though not quite so far South really should be,
it will nevertheless give universal satisfaction to

FREScn, arrived at our landing one day last week.
Unlike other ferry boats, she is in all her appoint

We presume, in low water to ply between this place
and the foot Of the lower rapids. Her performan-
ces thus far have been very satsfactory her speed
averaging that Of most Of the Upper Mississippi
boats. With such facilities she offers to trave.
lers and emigrants an induceuaent is offered for
speedily crossing the Mississippi At Burlington
which cannot be found at any other point above st.
Louis. Since her arrival, she has been crowded
with emigrants who are on their way to California.
Her present name is the old one Of Shockoquon,
anglicised, which should have been the soubriquet
of Burlington. She has double engine, two boilers
and Doctor.

The British have captured Moutan, in India, af-
ter most desperate resistance. They had an army
Of $4,000, with $50 pieces of heavy artillery. Before
they could make breach, fort had to be blown up
which was accomplished by the application and ig-
milton Of 100000 pounds Of powder. The explosion
destroyed many lives, mosques and buildings. Al
though an entrance was effected the Moolraj, or
Chief had not surrendered at last dates but had re.
tired to the citadel. The British miners were at
work preparing to blow up the citadel on the 7th
January.

in favor of progress, while the majority,

Tie first remark 10 make on Tie new
