The California Senator.
nrdsnra NJ The Yrfhuna

SAN FRANCISCO, March S, 1851.
The Legislature has, contrary to the general
expectation, so far failed to elect successor to
John c. Fremont in the Senate Of the United
States; and as the convention OF the two Houses,
after voting one hundred and forty-two times, in
sessions running through some ten days, was
finally adjourned to the lst of January, 1881. it ia
not probable that any Senator can or viii be
elected by the present Legislature. Another
proposition for a joint convention will no doubt
be made toward the close Of the session; bat
even il il should be carried, it is not very proba
bic that the desired result, an election, wOuld be
thereby secured. The election will. il is safe TO
say, devolve upon The Legislature, the members
ct which are TO be elected next Summer. From
present indications the Wings may, If they will.
succeed in eectins majority of the body All
ia that event, a Wing Senator will be seat from

California NIinernla.

Major Whiting has shown US a great variety Of
neurological specimens which were collected In
Lower California, which surpasses anything OF
the kind we ever saw, and which only corrobO-
rates the opinion we have formerly expressed,
that the resources OF California scarcely begin TO
be developed. Among the specimens were gold,
silver, copper cobalt ruby and other stones which
we were unable to classify. One felt to the touch
very much like CASTLE soap, with strong aro-
matte smell Come of the silver was in quartz,
which appeared like small bubbles Of transpa-
rent wilderness, and it really glistens with min
eral There was variety of other specimens,
which we could not with certainty determine to
what class they belong, and leave it to more ex.
perienced mineraogists.
1t has been suggested that this was Solomon's
Opbir, from which he derived the gold aud pre-
cious stones for the Temple. We are not of that
opiniok, but venture 70 suggest, that the Temple
stood here and when it was burned with all its
wealth the rich metals, its amber and it's precious
stones may have fallen into the lap Of California.

n fine specimen Of gold, found in the Klamath
mines weighing over tlssnfy eight ounces OF pure
gold. of the finest qualify. 1t was exhibited 70 us

MISSISSIPPI BAR-There are now over 300
miners on this bar. Two months ago, there were
over 900 there and in that neighborhood. Most
Of those who have left have gone to Scott river,
or some Of the branches OF the Feather. Those
at present working on the bar, find plenty OF dirt,
but it is mostly poor, not yielding more than hive
or six cents bucket full and it is so far from wa
ter, that carts are employed TO convey It to the
rockers. The general average is about 80 per
man. Placer Times.
santa Annn and the Gold.
Santa Anna, upon hearing of the discoveries OF
gold in the upper and middle portions ofthis coun-
try said there was mucn more gold in Lower tn an
in Upper California, and that the Americans would
find it so before long. This prediction seems
likely 10 be verified. We have on several occa-
sions chronicled the discovery Of rich placers In
that direction. We just learn from source en-
titled to credit, that rich discoveries have been
made at a point about seventy.fve miles south OF
San Diego, and that the latter place is, In conse-
ouence deserted by large portion OF its poPula-
ton. A large party Of Sonorans were upon their
return to their camp when they beard OF these

indian Anaira,

Our Indian difficulties are in nearly the same
condition they were upon the sailing of the last
steamer The Legislature has passed law au-
thorizing loan of $500 600 for the purpose of pro-
scouting this quixotio war, bat upon such terms,
as it 10 hoped, the money cannot be obtained; as
it is very generally believed by the better portion
Of our citizens that it is wholly unnecessary. Our
Indian difficulties are by no means as serious as
some have represented and beside most Of our
citizens believe that the subject should be left
entirely to the Indian Commissioners. With pru-
dsnce upon their part it is supposed, there is little
apprehension for the future from this source.

The California Courier in commenting upon
the recent outbreak in that city, makes the fol-
lowing statement:
On Sunday evening, while the excitement was
at the highest at the City Hall, there were sew
eral impromptu meetings of the citizens in vari-
Gus parts Of the city. We were much interested
in listening to the discussion in the one opposite
to our office, between Judge and citizen.
There were about three hundred persons present.
The Judge was denouncing in strong terms the
" breaking Of the law" He would speak about
three minutes. when the citizen would reply, oc-
cupying about the same time.
When the Judge mentioned law, the crowd
Knocked him derisively. "Law law talk of
law We get heap Of law, but mighty little
justice. All the good Of law in California is, to
fill the judges pockets and rife the honest mans"
Then the crowd shouted Water lots y "Colton
Grants !" "Straw Ball. "Boied eggs for the
lawyers, and Rcorns for the people r and such
like EXPLANATIONS, until some one sung out, Tar
and feather the old fellow 70 when the Judge
thought it prudent TO "vamose the ranch J." until
the excitement should get little below fever
heat.

LOOK CLOsELY--"MAIsK WELL"

we re-publisb, in ioday's paper, the resolutions
adopted at meeting Of the citizens Of this county
on the Sd Of August last
we recomend these resolutions to the attentive
perusal OF our friends; they are landmarks which
VIII enable one to tread his way in the present ex.
element and disruption Of old part les They were
adopted after much critical examination and discus.
sion, by large majority oil the meeting, without re.
spect to party
The history Of the resolutions Is this. meeting
had been called to assemble at the Courthouse on
the last Saturday in July This meeting was not
fully attended. Resolutions were read by Mr..
Whitfield; and, upon motion. the resolutions Of Mr..
Whitfield were referred 10 committee Of thirteen.
to be reported on al an adjourned meeting to be held
o" the 80 OF August. The committee reported the
resolutions. now rPubiished, three Of the members
OF the committee dissenting from the majority. The
principles Of the resolutions were debated dnrinp
the day, and adopted as reported by large msorites
We sustained the resolutions and adhere tothem
now They are worth preserving. They are true
to The States.Rights party, and true to the South
and true TO the whole Republic.
II will be seen from the date that the adjustment
was not at that time passed by Congress. But ii
was anticipated that there was wisdom and patriot.
ism in Congress, and that truly American feeling
which rises above section with this confidence the
meeting resolved that fair and equitable adjustment
OF the slavery and territorial questions would be ae.
guessed in. Let those whosay that this adjustment
affords sufficient grounds for the secession Of the
Safe of Mississippi from the Union, show what was
the state of political pr aspects before the adjust
ment, and how much we have lost by The adjustment
The solution OF this problem, will bring some men to
their senses-f they have any. What have we lost :
thai /, the question What Of the fugitive slave
law what Of the Wlmot proviso Should we Sc
cede from the Union, because Of the adjustment!

PARTIES IN MISHISAIPPI--WHE
DO YOU SrANDi

u the question Of Union, or Dsunion were sub
mitted directly to the people Of Mississippi at this
time, it is not probable that more than five honsand
votes would be polled, in favor of dissolution. II
such be the fact is it not remarkable that so many
persons are actively engaged in the advocacy of
measures which must result in secession or place
the State OF Mississippi in avery unenvabe attitude
We refer TO the proposition, that the Southern States
for future security, should demand an amendment
of the Constitution of the United States. As such
demand is proposed, and sustained by party respec.
ted for numbers and ability, il is proper that we
should look, not only to the probability of refusal
to the demand, but also TO the position in which we
would be placed, as state, in the event OF refusal
II the states refuse TO acccde to demand, shall
we acquiesce in the deeisionl or shall we secede
from the eonfederacy7 If you say we should dc.
guiesce, it requires no prophet to tell that we
should then be in worse condition than we are now
If you say scedc we reply that you should advocate
secession nor, because it requires but little knowledge
of the affairs OF our country to determine, that no
such amendment can be effected.
The 9th article Of the Constitution of the United
States, provides the modes Of amendment The
Congress, whenever tro.thrds Of both houses, shall
deem it necessary, shall propose amendments TO this
constitution or, on the application of the Legislatures
Of hco thirds Of The sererai states, shall cali conven-
ton for proposing amendments. which, in either
case shall be valid, to all nten,s and purposes as
part OF this constitution when ratified by the Legs.
IT. rs ofthreefourh OF the several ST. tes or by con-
other mode OF ratification may be proposed by Con-
gress.
To attain an amendment Of the constitution, in a
constitutional manner, tco thirds OF both houses must
propose amendments; or, a convention called, upon

THE ADJUSTMENT.

II has often been asserted that the South has los,
much BY the adjustment. II would be more correct
10 say that the South did not get all she was entitled
TO- II we have lost, we are in worse condition
Than we were before the laws referred TO were en-.
acted. The affirmative Of this proposition cannot he
sustained. Upon this question we challenge dis.
cussion.
The adjustment has been grossly misrepresent,d;
and many have been induced 10 believe tia, every
measure included in the compromise, was destruc.
tive OF Southern rights. and passed by .boIi,ioniss
and ireesol votes, in opposition to Southern vote.
The truth is, that majority of the laws were va.
