From CALIFoRNIA.-We have been
shown letter from Mr.. J. A. ROBINSON,
from this county, dated "Deer Creek
Dry Diggins;" California, June 9TH
Mr.. r, had been quite successful for a
few weeks previous, but does not write
encouragingly of the certainty of for
tune making in California. He says:
81 have not been among the fortunats
ones since ! came 10 the mines farther
than the enjoyment of good health. |
have saved enough this spring to take
me home. if | make no more, which is
more than four:ffths of the population
OF California can say. You
may work hard all the season. and make
nothing, and the next week thousands.
| made fifty-six dollars per day last
week, but may not make fifty all of next.
l know many hard working men who
have been in the mines for months, and
have not two OF. in their purse. =
see by accounts from the States that
the people are wild with excitement
about California, and are coming in
masses. They had better stay at home,
and if they are really desirous of try
ing their luck, spend their money in
lottery tickets, and they will stand about
as good chance for drawing price"

From washington.

There has been no decisive vote
taken in the Senate yet upon the
Compromise bill. Why don't Con-
gress settle this CONTROVERSY Why
don't they take a vote upon it,
These are questions that are being
asked every day. The territorial
controversy undoubtedly presents
embarrassing difficulties. But it
would seem that members should
have availed themselves of all the
aids to an honest opinion, during the
long time the subject has been before
them. We are hot of those who be-
lieve there is q disposition among
Northern men 10 procrastinate the
matter in order the better to prepare
the public mind Of the Free States
for any desertion Of principles hither-
TO believed and acted upon by the
great mass of the people.
We notice in the proceedings MOTH
ing of interest, but what will be
found in this paper.

STORM AND FREsHET IN THE SUs-
QUEHANNA VALLEY.-A storm is up
on US unparalleled in wild fury. Yes
terday at 10 o'clock A. M. the rain
began TO fall without wind or thun-
der, in gentle abundance. The noun
tain torrents soon swelled. and the
consequence has been terrible. The
crops along the flats of the river and
the larger creeks are greatly injured,
and in some intervals entirely ruined,
The bridges on the New York and
Erie Railroad, from Owego to Elmi-
ra, have been greatly injured, and
several have been swept away. But
this disaster need not impair the
travel on this road, as passengers can
take the Cayuga and Susquehanna
Road and Cayuga Lake boats TO the
Northern or Auburn and Rochester
Road and lose no time.
understand from the engineer
that the Erie Road will be soon in
repair; an efficient force having been
already engaged by the Superinten-
dent OF this division.
The Susquehanna is not at its flood.
1t is therefore evident that this terri
BILE storm is confined in narrow lim-
IFS, extending, perhaps, not TO exceed
sixty miles east and west. Commu-
nication having been cut off, am
not wholly apprised of the amount
OF damage the flood has caused west
ward. 1t must be, | think, very
great along the rich valleys of the
Susquehanna and Chemung rivers.
The silkened and tasselled corn
lies even with the ground, and my
cherished peach tree, as if fainting,
has fallen into the arms Of protec-
ting lilac. The wind has been ter
rife; stout old locusts, that have
braved manya storm, have yielded
to this furious tempest.

The Cabinet.

Inc CuDlucAs
The following letter from WASH
ington we cut from the N. Y. Tri-
bune:
WASHINGTON, Saturday, July %.
. The announcement of the Cabinet
by wires will have shown you how
wide of the mark were those who
appeared the wiSest in knowledge
as to who were TO compose its men,
bers. In fact, until hall an hour be-
fore the names were sent into
the Senate the Cabinet was not final
ly agreed upon. As arranged this
morning, Mr.. Dayton Of N. j., was
to have gone into the Treasury. and
Mr.. Vinton Of Ohio, into the Depart
ment Of the Interior. But another
attempt at persuasion was made up
on Corwin, and about 10 O'Clock
this morning he yielded TO the i'm
portuniiies Of friends, both Of the
North and The South, and consented
to 60 into the Treasury. In per-
sonal and pecuniary point Of view,
Mr.. Corwin has made sacrifice that
the world can be little aware Of;
and il was only when assured that
the good Of the country and the
great interest of the Wing party de-
manded it, did he surrender to his
friends. There were no two per-
sons more anxious that Mr.. Corwin
should 60 into the Cabinet than were
Messrs. Webster and Berrien. To
me it appears as though the construc-
ton of the Cabinet might have been
strengthened by assigning Mr.. Bates
of Mo-, to the department OF the IN
terror, and Mr.. Pearce Of Md, 10 that
of the War. The former Depart
ment embraces all the great Wes-
ern interests, and it would have been
peculiarly proper that a Western
man should have been placed at the
head Of it. For that post no better
or more capable person could have
been selected in the whole West
than the Hon. Edwd. Bates, who is
one Of the purest and best men living.
am Of the opinion that this change
will vet be made.
The selection Of Mr.. Hall for Post
Master General was due to the great
Empire State, whose claims have been
heretofore too slightly passed over.
1t was also due to the President, that
one member Of his cabinet at least,
should be an intimate, personal and
confidential friend, in whom he could
conhde as in a brother. All this he
finds in Mr.. Hall, who will make as
acceptable Post-Master-General,
have no doubt, as the country has
ever had. Mr.. Hall was sustained
by most, ifnot all the Whig delega-
ton in Congress in your State. We
have now a thoroughly Wing ad-
ministration, and the country will
soon begin to feel the effects ol it.
Geo. S. Fisher, ESQ.,, late Commits
sion Clerk in the State Department,
will act as Private Secretary TO the
/ President, until his son arrives, VINO
will thereafter fill the confidential
post. Mathew st. Clair Clark, |
learn, will receive the appointment
of Private Secretary to the President
for signing Land Patents, which du-
ty is at present discharged by Thom-
as Ewing, Jr., who desires to return
West with his fathers family. John
A. Collier will in all probability be
offered the place OF Assistant Secre-
tary Of the Treasury, which was to
have been filled by Mr.. Hall, previous
tn its being determined upon to put
