in his life to such an advantage. The OF

hearts of his hearers, aud though ib

News TO AMERICANs.-The Paris Jour
nal des Dehats, of May Cd. has two let
ters signed Debrece, from San Francisco,
one dated 18th February and the other
1st March. No material exception can
be taken to their contents, but the edito-
rial preface relates dreadful conflict be-
tween the French immigrants and the
Americans, in these terms.
The jealousy of the Americans was rous-
ed by the mineral richness of the regions
occupied by the French to the number Of
eight or ten thousand; the Americans
claimed to be the absolute masters OF the
SOIL and undertook to drive away the
possessors. A real battle ensued, in which
many combatauts on one side and the
other, lost their lives; in a military sense,
our compatriots had the advantage. Yet.
as it regards military glory, the French
needed no victories over some bands OF
Americans, and We fear, as il regards their
interests, that there will be sad consequent
ces for the French. Can the Govern
ment of the Republic intervene and pro-
tect them. We rather wish or hope than
expect this relief.

relating 10 the admission OF California as

ResoLued. That our Senators i'll Con-
press be instructed, and our Represent

and influences to effect such adjustment
or compromise as shall be best calculated
to secure the safety OF the Union, and re.
store harmony to its different sections.
Res0LUed, That there is now no author

the Territorles Of the United States
| that slavery does not now IL fact exist
there, and that it cannot be extended into,

The GOLD DADvENTURE.-Many OF the
accounts from California are alluring and
seductive, aud probably true; yet we often
see the other side of the picture, as pre-
sented, we suppose. by the less fortunate
explorers An Illinois paper states that
Charles H. Randall, of Galatin, after
spending yesri in California, writes home
as follows:
"If friend should ask my advice about
coming out here, I should simply say to
him, if he wished 10 part with all the
comforts of life, and run his chance tor
an uncertainty, to come. 1t is nice
thing for you, in your snug homes, en-
ioying all the benefits of good living and
society, to look favorably upon the news
from California; but if the curtain could
be drawn aside, and you could see things
as they exist, you would think it all Jolly
and vexation of spirit"
The editor remarks: 'The general i'm
preston of returning emigfants appears
to be, that although more or less OF gold
is to be had for the digging; yet taking
into the account the exposure, hardship,
and uncertainty of net gain, it is, in the
language Of tine Tilted Dutchman, too big
boo for so little hOrse""

With the approach of "dog-days," some
of the Theologians Of New Orleans are
waging through the public press warm
dispute on a hot question. The Rev.
Mr.. Clapp is contending that the temper
ature of the weather in Southern latitudes
is hot enough for all practical purposes in
the way of Furnishing humans for their
peccadillos, and that the Bible, if correct
ly translated, woud disabuse the public
mind of grievous error, III supposlng
that there is any place where the ther-
mometer rises much higher than it does
at New Orleans. In short, he contends
that there is no authority in Holy writ to
prove that there is, in any part of crea-
ton, a country with a climate so uncom-
fortably oppressive as He'll is generally
represented The Rev. MIR. Twichell
takes the other side of the question, and
is valiautIy doing battle in support of the
old notions in reference to this subject.
His argument is quite frey.
Between the two, public opinion at the
Crescent City has become so divided as TO
induce some to think that it can be set
tied only by adopting, as a sort of COM
promise, the Purgatory of the Catholics.

they have been quietly engaged in carry
