Later From California.

By lie arrival Of the Crescent City at New York
from Chagres, we have news three weeks later
from California. The amount Of gold on the way
the United States, is estimated al 81 ,00O,0 900,
There is no news OF much importance. Mining
operations were being prosecuted with vigor and
success Business was dull at San Francisco but
reviying. Sacramento City had again been over
flowed and much damage done; fire had also
destroyed property there estimated at $65,0o0.
John II. Peoples, editor of the first American
newspaper published in Mexico during the war,
Lieut.. Bache, ofihe L. S. Navy, Lieut.. Browning
and two others, were drowned in an unfortunate
expedition TO Trinidad Bay.
At San Francisco, lumber and provisions are
very low; and frame houses brought on sailing
vessels would hardly sell for cost of freight.
The election at San Francisco resulted in the
choice OF Col. Jack Hays for Sheriff, the inde-
pendent candidate. and part OF both the Wing

Surveyor General.

The Berks & Seuylkill Journal names Tho.
MAS BAIRD. Esq of the city of Reading as The
Wing candidate for Surveyor General. We
concur with Thai Journal in lis views that Mr.
Bard's peculiar fitness and qualifications for
this Office are Of a very high order Some years
since he represented Chester county in The
Legislature of our State. 10 whiclssiuation his
business habits and attention TO The interests OF
bis constituents, and of The people Of the State
al large, gained him an enviable reputation =
He is a practical surveyor, and has been &C.
lively engaged in The duties of bis profession
for period of al least forty years. During all
this time his visits TO the Land Office, on bus
mess, have been freqneni, and he is perhaps
better posted Up in relation 10 affairs of hat
department than auy other man in The State
Apart from these considerations his honesty
and worth, and devoted adherence to The Whig
cause through evil as well as through good re-
port, make up sun total of 'ciaims,' which
probably few men in The party can present
The party could not well choose better man,
or the State, by his election secure The servi-
ces OF better ofiref, for this responsible post.

Important Discovery.

The Washington papers bring letter from
Prof. Nj, +. MauIy, Of the National Observatory
announcing the discovery of new rout to the
Equator, by which the passage for sailing vessels
can be shortened nearly one half. The discovery
has been made through his Investigations of the
winds and currents of the ocean, and he furnishes
statement of the passage of 80 vessels by the new
ronte and 70 by the old, taken promiscuously.
showing that whereas the average of the old route
was Al days, that by the new has been but over
90 days, and several vessels have made it in 10.
OF courses passages differ somewhat by the new
route at different times Of the year, as the winds
and currents vary : but in no case has a passage
by it taken over 80 dayS.

Canal Commissioner.

correspondent, of the Harrisburg Telegraph,
proposes the Hon. WILLIAM r. SADLER, of Adams
county, as suitable candidate for Canal Com
missioner.
Mr.. Sadler, says the correspondent, represented
the Senatorial District Of Franklin and Adams
with great ability for the last three years and is
regarded as highly capable and intelligent gentle
man. His moral character beyond reproach, his
personal popularity great and his capacity un-
doubted. Mr. S. can poll a full party vote if NOM
mated, and the State has no more worthy or COM

be hailed with more sincere pleasure.

Another meeting was held at ibe Court House,
on the 18th, at which a series OF Resolutions were
adopted, from which we take the following.
ReSolred, That the late Speaker of the Senate,
our respected fellow citizen, VALENTINE BEST, has
fairly earned our warmest thanks and gratitude,
for his ability, courage, integrity, and selfsrcrice,
in an honorable and just cause, and that we will,
and all; justify, and so far as in US lies.
Ialn MIN, loI The means ne pursued 10 secure p0-
sition, which mainly enabled him to attain an OBJ
ject demanded by the. eternal and immuable prn-
cipes of truth and ustice-and that in so doing, we
aver that he made no sacrifice of political or pri-
vae integrity, that in all the relations Of life, pr-
vale and public, moral and political. few men oc-
py higher ground than VALENTINE Best, and we
treat with the contempt they deserve, all the SLAM
ders and falsehoods Of his libellers and defamers
believing them 10 be the foul offspring Of tesolled
ignorance, envy and malignity.
Mr.. Cooper was then called upon, who addressed
the meeting at some length relating the history Of
the local dissensions among the people Of the diff
