The News from California.


very Interesting matter concerning California, which
We nave extracted from newspapers published in
that nav State, received by the Empire City and
Georgia. Il embraces topics of every character,
and gives good insight into the state of society,
business and mining in that celebrated region.
We learn from these accounts that new discove-
ms Of gold MINES are constantly being ma lie n
places where it was supposed there none of the
precious metals that companies are being formed
for mining the quartz rocks that society in the
cite is improving and that business throughout
the State is sound and healthy. The inAatioa and
speculation caused 10y the fictitious value placed on
the necesalies OF life have produced their natural
result, and new and more healthy order of things
has succeeded II is one of the most promising
signs o. California that agriculture is occupying
The attention o the people. Many farmers
from The Western and Southwestern States, who
have been Disappointed in getting rich as easily and
with as Little labor as they imagined, have taraed
their attention 10 the cultivation of the soil. This
Is al that California needs 10 retain her present
state prosperity, and to become, in truth and in
reality, the richest State il the Union. The In
dian tribes in the neighborhood of the mines are
pvcomtrg troublesome, and collisions betweea
sTaicd parties Of savages and miners have occurred,
which have resulted in great loss Of life. The far
West has at length been reached by our cnterprls-
irg population, and the red man lie hemmed in on
all sides By the N. This will hasten the inevitable
fate which the settling ofthis continent by whites

States.
Al ,h5 time Of tie departure Of the last m ais
from California, there was doubt as TO who
wcud be elected 10 represent that State in the
Uated States Senate in the place Of Col. Fremont,
whose term expired with the Congress which has
just olcstd his popularity has been on the wane
iog some months past; and although he has still
great many friends, the probability Is that he will
not be reelected. Tie TAO parties are nearly ba-
ioaced in ne California Legislature, and, although
il l. not rfobebie, WING may Be selected in Col.
Fr,mont's place. California, New York and
Massachusetts, arc in pretty much tae same sitCl-
ion regard 10 senatorial elections.
