The Washington correspondent of the New York
Tribune says. that COL FREMONT received official ad-
vices by the last California mail of the extent and
richness Of his mines, that to him appear in
credible. IF he can hold the land upon which these
dggIngs are. and in which the gold is said to be in
exhaustible, and, comparatively speaking. of easy
access, there will be no estimating his wealth. He

that previous his leaving California for Washington.
he was working thirty men, and that the net monthly
proceeds which were paid to him were equal TO
one hundred pounds Of pure gold month. But this
would be but irfing income. in comparison with
what it be, if the accounts of the richness and
extent Of the veins Of gold upon his land. which he
received by last mail, corroborated hereafter by
actual receipts. ~

Mr.. Stewards organ, the Albany Journal, edited by
Thurlow Weed. is out upon Mr.. Clay for his late
speech. and in praise of Gen. Taylor: The following
are it's remarks in reference TO Mr.. Clay:
Mr.. Clay, it will be seen. did not, this occasion.
cesfine himself to the advocacy Of his own Plan of
Compromise The Plan of the President is arraigned,
discussed and condemned in anything but a friendly
spirit The friends Of the Administration chal-
leneed to stand up in The Senate and defend it's Policy.
This Speech, we deeply regret to say. though less
vehement against the President personally, is kindred
in temper, and we fear in design, to that which Mr..
Clay delivered in 1S41, the occasion of his open
separation from John Tyler. Up to that day, Mr..
Tylers only offence against the Wing party consisted
in his refusal TO recommend or approve Of United
States Bank. Capt. Tyler. weak and treacherous
man, when denounced by the great Wing Statesman,
abandoned his principles and party
We have no fears that the Gaphin administration
will come over to the Democratic party. They will
never be received.

'It is strange that certain Whg Editors cannot
learn n little prudence. There is necessity for
any lll-eeing between those who believe 10 Gen.
Taylors plan and those who believe in Mr. Cley's."
-Indiana Journal.
The Albany Evening Journal thinks differently and
drnounces Mr.. Clay in measured terms; and
the organ # the Galphn Cabinet at Washington,
the Republic. copies an article from the Richmond
Vu.) Wing, which says of Mr. Clay that "he is
restless and uneasy, while another of the party
with himself occupies the first Office in the Republic
and he may imagine that he can un-Whig General
Taylor ensy he did Mr.. John Tyler. The ma

from that on which be formcrly operated, and the re-
sult will be that instead of Tylerizng Old lack he
may find himself Tylerized"
The manner. well as The matter Of Mr. Clay's
late speech was offensive to the Galphin Cabinet ns
will be seen by the following account, published in
the New York Tribune:

ReSolUed As the of this legislature that tho
safety Of the union of the States requires adjust
ment of the questions and disputes pending in Con-

State-to the providing of governments for the Ter

ReSOiUed, That Senators liz Congress be in-

compromise, shall be best calculated to secure
the safety of the Union, and restore harmony to its
different sections.
RsSOlped That there is authority or law for
the existence of slavery in the Territories of the Uni
ted Siates-that slavery does not in fact exist
there. and that it cannot be extended into exist in,
said Territories without laws being first made to
and sustain il there. Therefore, in their de-
deliberations and action in efecting adjustment
compromise as aforesaid, our Senators and Represen
tatives in Congress will disregard the provisions of
the 'Wmot proviso" as unnecessary for any good
purpose.

WILLIAM SHEARER, tried before the Circuit Court
of the U. s. at IFS present session, was, on We'd
nesday last. sentenced TO four years Imprisonment
in the State prison for robbing the Post Office at
Winchester in this State. Shenrer, on being called
up for sentence, declared himself innocent of the
crime charged against him. Judge Huntington pro-
nounced the sentence of the Court in very feeling
address TO the prisoner and declared his conviction
Of his guilt; but in consideration of his family and
under the hope of reform, he would place the sem
tence at the lowest limit bis duty to the country
would allow him. Shearer is a man of good appear
and has occupied respectable position in So

In order that Wing friends aud others, may

York Tribune. After noticing the efforts of Texas
to extend jurisdiction, the Tribune says:
Now il is in the face of facts like these that we
are expected to keep quet-trust New Mexico TO
winks and mods that all will be right with her-and
rest content with hurrahing against Mr. Clay's CON-
promise. We cannot do it. That Compromise is not

we are forced to for the rescne and security of
New-Mexico If those Leading Members of Congress
who are now forging thunderbols TO hurl at the Om-
nibus had acted promptly, heartily, wisely. from the
beg inning Of the Session. they might have dictated
terms instead of submitting them But they have
rihed, suled, dallied, trusted to the chapter of
cidents, until il is quite probable that the Pruyiso will
have be waived and exorbtant bonus paid to
Texas to rescue New Mexico from her clutches
And still they wait and grumble, and let California
and New Mexico be hustled aside for n month at a
time, and never bring the House to vote on the
Boundary which Texas has already oyereaped, and is
now busy forming Slave Counties of Free Soil
Of New Mexico. If they mean anything, why not
do something. or at least try! Rely it, whenever
the question shall take this shape-that either New
Mexico must be surrendered to Texas the Compro-
mise taken as a whole. the latter cih be taken. We
have no doubt that, in that case it should be. Now If
the leaders in the House who profess such anxiety to
defeat the Compromise bill are sincere. let them show
it by their works Let them pass the California bill,
aGmi, le Delegate from New-Mexco, or al least es-
tabsh the Boundary between the latter and Texas
If they either cannot will not do these, all
events the last Of them, they render the passage of
the Omnibus plan If net inevitable, at least in our
iudoment desirable.
