From the Rome Georgia Souiherner.

Come, tell us, you proud Southron, that al
your life long has been looking the world full in
the flce--in whose veins flow current you
track back to its 'parent lake" of the Revolu-
tion sly how do you rest under the huzzas that
rent the heavens in Washington, on Saturday
last, when practically it was settled by the gov
crnment that there is and is to be Jorerera caste
above you. But then You are cOnso!cd by the
fact that the Witmot ProriSo was not thrust
down your throats, and in that you trumphed
over the North. In this argument see how CON
temptibie you have become for they not only
rob us, but take us for such fools that they be-
lieye we don't know it. We will not add to this
insult 10y ever again attempting in these columns
to argue the Territorial question. All here--all
everywhere else, understand the whole matter,
and North and South il is understood to be from
first TO last the bascst--most mcrcilcss-most
grovelling-paltry minded thicvery that ever
: marked the track OF rapne--or ever brande the
brows Of men for submitting to. One commits
a shameful waste of ink shed that talks any
more of the principle Of this unhaIlowed wrong,
| Every word and every thought now should be
for vengeance and redress.
We talk of the glorou; Revolution of l7T6,
all growing out Of a dirty little tax on Tea
while we tamey stand still and let the Yankees
milk US Of three hundred and thirty millions of
our money in fifty eight years--sten every year
t,ro millions worth of our slaves-and rob us
noY of an Empire, that no power of figures can
tel! us Our true loss.

The Editor of the Washington Union soon
gratulutes" his "countrymen' on the prostration
of the accursed Wilmot Proviso' in the House
of Representatives. Our readers will perceive,
by reference to the proceedings in another
column, that this 'accursed" concern, when
moved to the Utah bill, was voted down by
only eight myorHy. The yeas and nays are not
given, us the vote was taken by telers. Truly,
this is something to be thankful for when it is
well known that New Mckee has already pro-
hibited Slavery, and when it is confidently be-
lirved by the Frec-soilers that Slavery will not
be establish in Utah. We had been knocked
down by the admission of California, and the
country is congratulated" because the South

Seal Of California.

MONTERREY. Oct. I. 1849.-The Con-
vention has now under discussion the mat
ter of an appropriate seal, to be the grea.
seal Of the State of California. The
design which will be adopted for the seal
and coat Of arms has on the foreground a
grizzly bear feeding upon cluster of
grapes. emblematical of the most fearful
animal and the most delicious luxuries of
this country: upon fhe right is a represen-
tation of Minerva holding the Gorgon
Shield in one hand. and spear in the
other, emblematcal Of our springing into
existence as State. without going through
the forms of territorial government. the
reverse is the representation of the miner
with pick and spade. and implements of
mining. toiling for the precious treasure.
in the middle is beautiful river. on which
are seen steamboats,, emblemaiical of our
Commences; in the distance is seen the
snow-ctad tops Of the Sierra Navada. and
on the top the motto Eureka I have
found it.) applicable either to the miner as
success attends his labors. or the stranger.
as he settles down in our beautiful valleys.
or TO the politician. as he sees a State adj

The Oiher Side Of the Pictme.-The

furnished in the New York Tribune for
publication. The writer is himself at the
mines:-'You will be disappointed in the
amount Of gold sent by this steamer. but
not more SO than we have been by the re-
suit Of our labors during the last month
in the mining districts. The force on the
ground is variously estimated from 49,
900 to $4,000. who have obtained perhaps
in all S 100000, or but little more than
an average Of 81 per diem for each man.
This is not satisfactory 10 you at home.
but still less so to US here, but the truth is
that the surface of gold is rapidly disaP-
pearing. and although we have faith that
the subterranean deposits are large. yet
not having capital or other requisites for
deep mining. TO this complexion we must
come at last. like all the South American
States in which gold is found. California
must be dug up wide and deep. if we
hope for golden harvest. Goods, OF
