The St Louis papers estimate the loss
to their city by the late fire, at million Of
dollars only, and claim that this loss will be

such manner as to more than overcome
this loss BY the increased value Of property,

CIVIL CONVENIENTLY CALIFORNIA.

civil CONVENIENTLY CALIFORNIA
E Our advices from this distant section 0
the confederacy, promise well for the caus
| Of civil government, and lead TO the belief
that before the lst of December next, thu
people Of California will have formed AMI
adopted State constitution, which will b.
ready to be submitted to Congress for it
consideration and appreciation
! After various efforts to get together con
vention for the purpose Of framing State
constitution, all Of which failed in conse-
quence of the difficulties Of intercommuni-
cation, and disagreements as to the period o.
assembling such body, it has at last been
fully agreed, that it shall meet at Monterey
on the first Monday Of August next. The
selection Of this town was prompted by the
consideration Of its accessibility and the fact
Of its being the depository Of the public ar
chives OF the country Besides, il has bet
tel public buildings than any other town in
the territory The assembling Of this con
vention was made dependent upon the fail
ure Of Congress to provide territorial gov
eminent for the territory, and as that body
did not see proper to provide such govern
ment, Of course the convention will be held
In the meantime district temporary leg
isative assembly had assembled at San Fran
cisco city, and at the last dates, it was in
successful session, engaged in providing a
provisional civil government for the wants o.
the psoplss6f the district Of San Francisco.
The published accounts Of the proceedings
Of the Assembly, are characterized by all
the features Of American legislative bodies.
Indeed, the mass Of the representatives were
Americans.
The tone Of feeling pervadng the whole
territory, so far as it has found vent, is deci-
dedly opposed to the introduction Of negro
slavery Or even negro-apprentceship, in any
form whatever, 1t is plain, we think, that
the new State constitution which the August
convention will form, will contain express
prohibitions against the introduction Of in
voluntary labor in every possible form, ex-
cept as penalty for violation Of law Such
disposition Of this question, will be fatal
blow to the views Of the anarchists here at
home, both North and South, to the Free
Soil and Slaverv-E Extension, They will be
deprived Of fuel to keep the fire burning
which they have kindled In this view Of
the case, there was decided wisdom in the
abstinent course Of the last Congress, and
also in the refusal Of the President elect to
interfere in February last, officially and per-
sonaly, to induce Congress to act If the
Californians do their duty, as we believe they
will, they will form State constitution in
August next, and be ready to lay it before
Congress at its opening next December, and
ask an admission into the Union Of sove-
reign States, which the Legislative commit
tee Of the district of San Francisco felici-
tously hope will ever be "distinct as the
pillows, but one as the wave"

from the day of their landing collected in groups,
armed themselves and attacked the disorderly charac

in which one American was killed and four severely
wounded as well as about the came number Of ma
