The celebrated nondescript woolly horse found
by Colonel Fremont on the river Gia, is now ex-
hibiting here. II is really curious animal-being
covered with a thick coat Of wool, fine almost as
merino. II is a we'll formed animal, and in almost
every respect similar to the horse in shape, but
smaller in size. The proprietors propose exhibit
ing it in Washington soon.

The slavery Question I'm ohio.

The following is the resolution adopted by the
late Democratic convention in Ohio. II means a
little of every thing. or rather good deal of
thing:
"7th Resolved, That on the question of slavery
hereby reaffirm the resolutions Of said conven-
ton, in the words following Resoced, That the
people of Ohionow, they have always done, look
upon the institution Of slavery in any part Of the
Union an evil and unfavorable TO the full de-
velopment Of the spirit and practical benefits Of free
institutions, and that, entertaining these sentiments
they will all times feelit TO be their duty to use all
power, clearly given by the terms of the national
compact, to prevent its increase. TO mitigate and
finally TO eradicate the evil But be ii further re-
soIped, That the Democracy of Ohio do at the same
time fully recognise the doctrine held by the carly
fathers of the Republic, and still maintained by the
Democratic party in all the States that To each
State belongs the right to adopt and modify its
municipal laws; to regulate its internal affairs;
to hold and maintain an equal and independent
sovereignty with each and every other State. and
that upon these rights the National Legislature
neither legisate nor encr0ach."

CALIFORNIA.
From the Alta California.
The Golden En1gration.

In article published in the Alta California on
the I'd Of July last, stated the probable popula-
ton OF the country at that time at 80 900 souls. AS
the recent election has failed to bring out more
than one-q quarter Of the legal voters in the country
and as the hopes which that contest held out of
proximating to the number of inhabitants have
fail ed we have thought II proper and necessary to
give the following statistics. They made up in
some instances from actual records-in others from
the best estimates we have been able to procure
The population of California, on the LIST day OF
January, ls49, may be set down follows, viz:
Californans, say. 1900 Americans. !. 5000
Foreigners. ........ 5000
Aotai'. Z4suU
From that time down to the 18th day of April,
lS49. there were great many arrivals by sea and
few by land. If we set down the arrivals by sea
in round numbers at 5000, (of which one half
were Americans,) and tho ivals by land (prin-
cipally from Sonora and Lower California; at 900,
we shall then have the following result, viz:
Californians $4,000 Foreigners. -. 1000
Americans 5000
Total. .................. 81 200
From the 18th of April down TO the present time,
(Nov. %, lS49,) we are enabled TO give, through
the politeness of Edward A. King, har Dor master,
reliable statistics of the arrivals by They are
as follows:
