Domestic Intelligence.


orc already aware that, through the politeness
of the operators in the o Reilly Telegraph line,
thcy were furnished with the Presidents Mes
sage, on Tucsday--as acceptable present as
they could have rcceivcd-but few know that
the inhabitants of eighteen other towns and
cities in the West, on the same day, received
the same christmas gift from the same source.
The operator, seated in the Telegraph Office
at Baltimore, sent the Message to all the follow
ing places, at once, viz Iarrsburgh, Carlisle,
Pittsburgh, Canton, Massillon, Cleveland, Erie,
Buffalo, Sandusky, Toledo, Detroit, Stcubcn-
vile, Wheeling GAINESVILLE, Columbus, Dayton,
Cincinnati and Louisville, and if the wire
across the Ohio river had not been broken,
would, with equal facility, have sent il TO st.
Louis, and the other towns on that line. II
must not be forgotten that the points mentioned
above are those where the press received it, for
there were numerous other points at which the
operators of the various offices received it for
their own private information.
This was. perhaps, the greatest tclegraphic
fcat ever performed, either in this or any other
country: there was not single mistake made
by the operators, nor had the Baltimore Office
ever to repeat single word.-PitjbWyh Ga.
! FnoN CALIFonNIA.-Thc steamer Empire
! City arrived at New York OH the 25th ult with
half q million of gold and 277 passcngcrs-
The mails were left behind on the isthmus.
The result of the election was not positively
known, but it was believed that Peter IL. Bur
nett was elected Governor and John McDougal,
late of Indianapolis, Lieut.. Governor. The
candidates for Congress were numerous, and no
one can tell who is elected till the votes are
canvasscd. The Legislature is thought to be
decidedly Democratic, in consequence of which
i. Butler King (latc of Gcorgia) will stand
small chance OF being elected U. S. Senator.
Col. Fremont and DIR. Gwinn, it is believed,
will be sent TO the Senate.
The accounts from the mines arc various and
contradictory, and it is hard TO tell what is true
from what is false; but it is believed that the
I number who are making fortunes is small com :
pared with the multitude who work hard for
small returns.
BREAcu oP PnoMIsR.-SuaIay Contracss.-A
suit, for damages for the breach of a marriage
contract, was lately tried in Philadelphia, where
the defence set up was, that the contract was
made ON Sunday, and therefore void. On this
point, the Judges charge 10 the Jury is thus re-
ported:
"That the law in regard to Sunday contracts
did not extend to contracts of marriage, which,
by many religious sccts were considered as
solemn sacramcnts to be only sanctioned by inn
prcssivc ceremonies. The contracts made on
Sunday, which arc void, arc those relating to
worldly business To hold that marriages sol
clnnized on that day were vod would be TO dis
turb thousands of marriages which have been
contracted, and 10 render illcgtimatc a very
large number of citizens. The jury found a vcr-
