Very Late and Interesting from Califor.
nia---The Result of the State Election.

BY the arrival of the Steamship Prometheus,
at this port, last evening, we are in receipt of
news from California to the sixth of Septcln-
ber bcl:g two weeks later than what we were
previously in possession of. This ncrs has
been only t'centye,gM days coming, ,chich is the
shortest time yet occupicd in The TRANSMISSION of
intelligence from the ne,c Suc on the Pacific
TO the atlantic States. 1t came by the new
Nicaragua route, which, at this rate, will in all
probability soon secure the greater part of the
passenger trade between the two oceans
The most important feature of the news thus
received is the result Of the State election in
California. 1t is probable but not certain that
the Wings have elected their candidate for
Governor, and the Democrats have secured a
majority of the Legislature. The latter is worry
important, as 1t lnsurcs the election of demo
cratic United States Senator in the place of
Colonel Fremont, whose term expired on the
fourth Of March last. The returns were not
complete when the steamer sailed. but tlere is
no doubt of this being the general result.
a portion OF the newspaper press of Cali
fornla Is discussing a project for dividing the
State, and making that part Of it lying south
of the thlry-scventh of north latitude ii scpa-
rate sovereignty. If this movement should be
carried into effect, the institution OF slavery
California; but there Is not much prospect Of
its being successful. 1t is proposed to call a
convention Of delegates from the southern
counties to be held at Los Angeles, Santa Bar
bara, or Monterey, for the purpose of inter
changing sentiments on the subject so that the
Legislature may take the matter into consid-
Grafton We doubt the propriety of this
movement, under present circumstances. 1t
| would reopen, to a great extent tho sllvprv
agitation in Congress, and, if accedcd TO at all
1t would be IN opposition To all, or nearly all
the members from the Northern and Eastern
States. 1t would be much better, we think, tC
allow matters to remain as they are, for the
present, at all events. This is not time tC
reopen the hood-gatcs of fanatcism on tn,
slavery question.
There Is nothing now or important from the

Rnilronn Nattcrs.

We have already chronicled the notice ofan
application Of Gen Clark and others of Bur
IinTton. Tor IA charter of railroad from Bur-
hngton to Canada line, with the right to con-
meet with the UgCnsburgh road by the neces-
sary tracks and bridges. This of course is
very nearly on the line of the Rutland Extern
sion charter. granted last year. and in fact par
allel to the Vermont and Canada road. In the
s.. Adams Democrat we find notice, fornda-
bly, signed, of still another application for 4
road from Burlington via Georgia and St. Al
bans villages to Canada e.--.,fonipelier
Udtchman.
There is another notice of application, the
Waterman remembers, for charter of a rail-
road from Esser Junction 10 CGsteton, which Of
course cannot be parallel road, because it
must cross the track of the Rutland and Bur
llngton two or three times, IN addition to run
ming along side of it! Besides, there could be
no reasonable objection to this Essex junction
and Castlcton road because one ofthem would
be on one side of Otter Creek most of the time,
and the other on the other side. When it Is
built, the two roads will run side by side so far
that there will be a fine chance for testing
comparative speed, and we hope the Valley Of
Otter Creek will be called the "Vcrmont Rail
road Race Course
As to our friends sly cut at MS made once
before about bridges" we have only to say
,hat NOBODY can prevent us from making such
a bridge as that which has immorazed GOV
PAINE and Mr. Campbell at Rouse's Point, and
every body says that answers all practical and
useful purposes. So look ont for Snarr, friend

The Cuban Patriots, and their price.

For the last few weeks, the newspapers have
been filled with detailed accounts of the dis
nstrous results of the late piratcal invasion
of the Island Of Cuba by a small squad of un-
employed 'patriots," who were willing, at any
time (having nothing else to do) to sacrifice
themselves for "God and liberty" portion
Of the press the Locotoco portion) has taken
great pains to speak ieehngy of the wrongs
and expressions ofthe Spanish people in Cuba,
VERY much to the astonishment of that people,
who were the first to oppose and hunt down
their self-constituted 'liberators ~ and to re-
present the desperate and dcudcd adventures
under Lopez as men engaged in diflusing the
blessings and privileges of Freedom in the most
diSinterested and se!t-sacrifang manner! The
letters Of these unfortunate victims of "patrio-
tism," too, with almost the single honorable
exception Of that of young Van Vcchten, of
Albany set forth large claims Of wholly pure
and disiniercsed motives and uttered sounding
pretenses of love of Freedom and hatred of
Spanish oppression, as alone in.tigating them
in their unlawful and un-called-for invasion of
the territories OF friendly and peaceful Ma
ton.
Now, we have never been deceived momen,
by these plausible representations. We have
regarded the expedition OF Lopez, from begin
ming to end, as plratIcal expedition, undoub,-
eddy originating in the cupidty and criminal
ambition of few "eaders,' and attempted tc
be carried out by appeals to the cupidity anC
lust of plumber of class of population thai
may always be found within and around on
large cities, who have nothing, either of mean
or character, to lose, and whose pretensions t,
sympathy with the oppressed and love of free
dom, would be simply ridiculous if they die

there may have been exceptions, even amonl
the followers of Lopez,-but these were SO fey
as in no wise to disturb the rule.

Letter from Gen. Scott.

sylvania, at the request OF eight members Of the
State Senate, wrote letter to Cen Winfield
Scott, addressing him as the unloubtcl Wing
Candidate for the Presidency and requesting
his opinion upon the questions agitating the
country. TO this letter he wrote the following
excellent reply, which is just published -
WASHINGTON, March 26, 1851.
SIR Il have received your letter marked
CONFIDENTIAL " in which, alter committing the
error of supposing me TO be fully before the
country as the Wing candidate for the Presi-
dency,' you proceed to interrogae me on many
points OF grave public interest.
Permit me to say, that, considering we shall
probably, only have a Wing candidate tor the
Presidency through National Convention
and that cannot be its nominee except by the
force of the unsolicited partialIty OF large mass

principles be not already known, it would now
be idle to attempt to supply tie deficient inior,

II The following Text and Commentary, we
cut from the Albany Evening Journal--,he text
being from recent speech of Governor JoHAs-

which brings from the workshops of England
and lays over the Goa and iron beds OF Penn

ton OF railroad iron costs $40, and YOU send that
$40 out OF the country, $35 or 1886 ont of that
$40 is made up of labor. Recollect, then, that
You are paying S35 or $50 out of every $40 to

yet THIS policy is advocated by a party in Penn

iieve that it is composed of their exclusive
friends. - Speech OF Gov. Johnston.
This is "a clear and forcible Illustration of a
very important principle. These heavy impor-
tatlons do not merely take money from this
country; but they take money from the pockets
OF our working men. Not long since. nine
hundred and fifty tons of foreign Railroad iror

$4,000 of the cost Of this iron went to pa,
