a letter from California, received from
Capt. George Hess, that Mr. King, a Ger
man, who was a member of the company
that left this city last spring, became scpa.
rated from his party on the route. and
they, supposins that he had been killed or
captured by the Indians, went on without
hun. Since then Capt. Hess has learned
that Mr. King, after he became separated
from his party, wandered about the coun-
try for twenty three days, living upon
frogs anything he could procure, to appease
the craving, Of hunger. On the twenty
third day he came across an encampment
belonging to the Snake tribe of Indians.

gssr The result Of the election for members

E The result of the election for members
to the Convention tosforrn . New Constitution
in this District, may decide the complexion Of
that body, and it would be well for the voters
of the District to understand some of the mea-
sures which the Locofoco party propose to Al
dopt into the new Constitution, before they
deposit their votes in the ballot box
The first and principal object they have in
view, is the Incorporating into the new Con-
stitution an article making all banking laws
unconstitutional-in a word to make gold and
silver the only currency of the State. Ofthis
fact our readers need no proof But that there
may be no mistake in the matter. we quote
from the Democrat, one of the resolutions
adopted at the 9Th of January Convention,
that nominated Wood for Governor:
{" Resol0ed By the Democracy Of the State
of Ohio, That banks of circulation are hostile
alike to the equal rights of the people, and the
principles of sound political economy That
hard money is the only currency recognized
by the Constitution, the only currency that
defrauds no man, the only currency that is
expedient and Just, and we hold it to be incon-
sistent with the principles Of the party for
democrats TO participate in creating or uphol-
ding Banking Institutions.
The Democratic candidate for member of
the Convention in this District cordially sup
ports the above resolution, and has on more
occasions than one, advocated the hard money
doctrine, and the demolishment of all bank
ing institutions. We cannot believe thatanv
considerable number of the people of this Dis
trict are in favor of destroying The banks Of
the State, thus opening market for the
worthless and irredeemable locofoco trash Of
otherStates.
The Locofoco party, by their revolutionary
and extraordinary proceedings in the Ohio
Legislature on the Hamilton county difficulty,
establishes the belief that that party is oppos-
ed to the single district system, and will un-
doubtedly oppose Incorporating that principle
into the new constitution How their candid
ate from this district stands on that question,
we do not know; but if there is any thing to
be learned from past experience, he will be
found following in the wake of his file leaders
We had intended to say something on one
or two other points when we commenced this
article, but find that we have neither time nol
space to do SO, but recommend the voters ot
this district to take into serious consideration
the position assumed by the two parties upon
the above questions, and decide between them

Eg Our friends of Ottawa county will
remember that the election of Delegates to the
Convention to form new Constitution, takes
place atthe same time of the annual Spring
election, (the FIRST Monday in ApriI,) and that
it is highly important that every friend of the
State should come out to the polls, and vote
for La Dunno RAwsoN, Esq, for the sena-
torial member. and JoHN. g. sP1NK Esq. for
the. Representative member. Let every Wing

Interesting facts. There is nothing that strikes
a stranger more forcibly, if he visits Sweden
at the season of the year when the days are

Baird had no conception of it before his arri-

burgh' 400 miles distance, in the morning,
and in the afternoon went to see. some friends
had not taken note of time-and returned
about midnight; it was as light as it is here

distinctly. But all was quiet in the streets !:
it seemed as if the inhabitants were gone
away. or were dead. No signs of life stores
closed.

illumination all night. as the sun passes round
the earth towards the north pole, and the re-
fraction of its rays is such that you can see

in-the forest, near Stockholm, at midnight, with
out artificial light. There is mountain at
the head of Bothnia, where, on the 2lst OF

Atthe North Cape, latitude y degrees, the

Afterwards, il remains ten, fifteen, or twenty

how they managed in regard to hired persons,
and what they consider a day. He could not
say, but supposed they worked by the hour,
and twelve hours would be considered days
work. Birds and animals take their accus-
toned rest at the usual hours The doctor
did not know how they learnt the time as they
had, and goes to rest whether the sun goes
down or not. The hens take to the trees about
seven O'Clock, P. NJ. and stay there until the
sun is well up in the morning; and people get
into this habit of rising late too.

salvation to the father, the mother, or to one

w Amid the excitement and passion which
has generally characterized the course of south
ern members of Congress, on the slavery ques-
ton, during the present session, it is crafty
ing to find SO eminent man as senator Bell,
of Tennessee. setting the example of modera-
ton and good feeling, eyinced in the sub
Joined paragraph, which we copy from the
Baltimore Patriot:
&c In his remarks yesterday in the Senate,
Mr. Bell, of Tennessee, stated, with great JUS
tice and truth, that his course had never been
violent or extreme. He reposed entire conf
dence in the justice of the north. He had
never countenanced the Southern convention.
He had no agency in its organization. If any
good resulted from it, he could claim no merit
for supporting or bringing it about If evil
should follow from it, none of the consequen-
ces could be chargable on him. He had firm
and abiding confidence in the honesty, patri-
otism and generosity of Northern gentlemen,
and he could continue to hold that confidence
and believed that the north, holding the major
ity, would not exercise their power stringent
ly or arbitrarily.
The preservation of the Union depended not
on the powers that may be brought to main-
tain and carry out the authority of the major
ity, but on the spirit and justice with which all
sections should be treated with entire equal
ity and respect

Free Bank Bill.

To day the Senate passed the Free Banke
ing Bill, as it is called. tbs generally on thy
New York plan. Itauthorizes any body, ang
where, to create Bank, by first depositins
State or U. States stock to the amount of bill
they issue. The stock is to be taxed in all
respects as other property.
To our mind, this is an important measure
and we hope it may become a law. 1t seems
to obviate all the prominent objection against
our present system. There is nothing that
can be tortured into monopoly about it. And
on the subject of taxation it entirely removes
the objection that Bank stock is not taxed as
much, and the same, as other property. 1t
leaves its opposers with only the naked pre-
tence of hard money aloneto oppose it. We
will take occasion to say more about this sub
iect. hereafter. %. State Jour,

SUGAR CANE IN FLoR1DA.-The Jackson
vile News, of the 9th inst, gives the fol-
lowing accouEtof product of sugar on the
plantation of Captain Sadler, in that vicinity.
1t says:-He has produced 22I hogheads
of sugar, averaging 1000 pounds each, from
195 acres Of cane, and has lost at least fifty
hogheads by imperfect grinding-having
wrought nearly his entire crop with two brok
en rollers which would not admit of sufficient
pressure to extIact the juice, by 20 per cent.
Another source of loss occurred in cutting
down, from apprehension of frost, about sixty
acres of his best cane. two months previous to
grinding it. The juice stood at the remarka-
bic altitude of u degrees of Beaume's Sacha-
rometer, and the sugar is consequently of very
superior quality. The yield of molasses is
about $4,000 gallons.
