present Amongst them were Captain L. Laidaw,
Of the Avon Division, Of Windsor; Captain Byrne

founder Of the association. Forty five members
have been added 20 the pledge rolf The result OF
The movement Of the Sons Of Temperance since the
18th December last, when the first division was
opened in Liverpool, may be judged from the fact
that they have organized one deputy grand divi-
sion and three subordinate divisions. Notwithstand-
ing the scanty means of the working classes, the
order has increased at the average rate Of nearly
one hundred members per month

thing IL could do, would be to hold a Southern
Convention at Nashvillel
We do not say that the deep discomfort al
legged to pervade the mind Of the South does not
arise in part from some Of the causes indicated
by Mr.. Calhoun, but we do deny most emphat-
ically, and the political history of the country
for the last twenty-five years fully sustaius the
denial, that, "the leaders and presses of both
parties in the South have been very solicitous to
prevent excitement and restore quiet 80 far
from this, il the discomfort Of the South has
really reached such height as to threaten dan
ger to the Union, it is owing to the acts of party
demagoguism, and disappointed, embittered am
bition.

or two ago near the junction Of the Feather and

in regard to the extensive mineral region watered
by those streams | am permitted to make the fol-
lowing extracts in advance Of publication here.
THE accounts from the diggings on Feather
river, Yuba, and Deer creek, have not been over
rated. Since my last have paid short visit 10
the above places, and have found that the success
of the miners is beyond anything heretofore pub
lished Although the weather has prevented them
from working much more than half the time vet
they are accumulating quantities Of gold almost
beyond belief have learned another fact during
my visit, viz: that there is ample room for thou
sands and tens of thousands of additional operators
Many fears were entertained that much distress
would be occasioned from want Of provisions at
the mines; but am happy TO state that such fears
are unfounded. There is not only abundance of
all the necessaries, but many of the comforts of
life, at fair prices"
So it will be seen that those of the new emigra

as good chance as those earlier on the ground

Mr.. CALHOUN AND THE NEW YORK UNION
MEETING.

Mr.. Calhoun spurns the peace offering of the
Cass and Dickinson Democracy in New York.
Hear him:
"The Senator calls my attention to a meeting
10 New York, at which, he says, sentiments were
expressed that were favorable to the South. tits
true there were many sentiments expressed there
that approve of, but am MOTTO be deceived by
them that meeting was for dspriving us of all
our rights in California like to attend to things,
and not to the names by which they are called.
Sir | should tie most happy to think that we
should have the vote Of the Senators from New
York and of other Senators of the North in favor
of preserving our rights in California But there
are two modes of treating the subject one is by
speaking and the other by acting-of the two,
the latter is the most effective"
