Very Late and Interesting from California
The Result OF the State Election.

Nv the arrival of the steamship Prometheus a.
shis port, last evening, we are in receipt OF news
rom California to the sixth of September, being
two weeks later than what We were previously in pos
.esor Of This netcs has been only tceuy eight days
sc.ag phich is the shortest time get occupied in the
iraMsntssion of intelligence from The State on the
Pacific 10 the Atlantic States 1t came by the new
Nicaragua route, which, at this rate, will in all
probability secure the crater part of the pas
tenger trade between the two oceans
The mos. important feature Of the news thus re-
ceived is the result of the State election in Cali
scrris. Il is probable, but not certain, that the
wings have elected their candidate for Governor,
and the democrats have secured majority of the
Legislature The latter is very important, as it en-
su-es the election of democratic United States
Senator in the place of Colonel Fremont, whose
term expired on the fourth of March last. The
returns not complete when the ste amer sailed,
but there is no doubt OF this being the general re-
suit.
portion Of the newspaper press Of California
is discussing project for dividing the State and
making that part of it lying south Of the thirty.
seventh degree of north latitude a separate
sovereignty. If this movement should be carrei
into effect, the institution of slavery would, no
there is not much prospect Of its being successful
1t is proposed to call convention of delegates from
the southern counties, to be held at Los Angeles,
Santa Barbara, or Monterey, for the purpose of
interchangipg sen timents on the subject, SO that
the Legislature may take the matter into considers
tion. We doubt the prcpriety Of this movement,
Ender present circumstances. II would reopen, TO
great extent, the slavery agitation in Congress,
and if acceded to at all it would be in opposition
to ALL or nearly all the members from the Northern
and Eastern States. IL would be much better, we
think, to allow matters to remain as they are, for
the present, at all events. This is not time to
reopen the Aood-gates Of fanatcism on the slavery
question.
There is nothing new or important frcm the
mining regions. Digging is being pursued as
usual, and a fair return meets the labor Of the
miners. Society appers to be settling down, and
order prevails throughout the whole state. We

COMING TO THE REscUE.-The Union Castle
Garden Safety Committee are coming up to the
rescue in solid phalanx. They intend to hold the
State candidates both sides, to the strict letter
Of the Fugitive Slave law, and Sinking or dodg
ing Good, very good The last hope of retrieving
the character, the conservative, compromise, Union
harmony glowing character Of this great commercial
capital is now resting with this Castle Garden
committee. We have almost despaired. We
have been fearful that the bad luck of last year
would keep the committee in the shade this year
but it is splendid to contemplate the style in which
they come up to the res,ue. We doubt not they
are in good earnest-we doubt not they will ques
ton every man on both the State tickets, and
scratch them without remorse where they are
defective. So that after all, we shall have cotton
introduced as staple of this election. The canals
and cotton. Let the Safety Committee look to it,
that the cotton is not thrown overheard, al least in
the city. Never too late to do good. We like the
movement of the committee. 1t will give life,
variety, pungency, and uncommon interest to the
canvass. The cotton trade has saved our banks
from general destruction. We must stick to our
obligations to the South.

Mr. Stewart, and the advantage OF wing district
besides, it il presumed be viii be the successful
candidate.
The present incumbent in the Fifth district, con-
sistpg of the Seventh, Eleventh, Twelfth, and
Thirteenth wards, Is Justice Timpson, democrat,
who has filed the Office with honor to himself, and
credit to the city. If 70 nominated, he would, no
doubt, be elected.
Justice Osborn, in the Fourth district, embracing
the Tenth, Fifteenth, and Seventeenth wards. now
in Office. This is termed wing district, and as
the present incumbent is an efficient magistrate,
and very popular, it is more than likely he will be
again returned by the electors.
In the Third district, consisting of the Eighth
and Ninth wards, Justice Bleakley is at present In
office, but he refuses to be q candidate, believing
the election, this fall, to be illegal. James NJ
Murray, Police Clerk OF that district, we under.
stand, will possibly obtain the nomination.
Justice McGrath is in Office in the Second dis
triet, embracing the Fourth, Sixth, and Fourteenth
wards This is q strong democratic district, and
the present incumbent WILL unquestionably, be re-
elected.
The present Justice of the First district, COM
prising the First, Second, Third, and Fifth wards,
is Mr.. Jeremiah Lothrop. We understand he de-
clines again being a candidate. This is termed
whig district, and will probably return wing no.
minee. There are several striving for the nomi
nation, but who the most prominent person among
the applicants is, we are at present unable to de-
teImine.
In q fe " days, however, we shall be able to emu.
merate the contending parties on both sides. The
election bids fair to be of very exciting cha
raeter. The Aldermanic contest will be closely
contested. A bold push will evidently be made on
the part of the democrats, to once more take the
reins Of government in hand
