the Wings have carried the State by de-
cisive majority.

FROM CALIFORNIA,

The Steamer Empire City arrived at New
York on the 9th, from Chagres, with dates from
San Francisco to lst July. The Empire Civ

and one million four hundred thousand dollars ia
gold on her freight list. Independent Of his,
passengers are supposed to have in their hands
about three Hundred thousand dollars.
Another disastrous fire occurred in San Fan
cisco on the 22d June. In all, five hundred bull
dings were destroyed by the fire. Loss estima-
ted at SO, 600 900. .-
| The fire was undoubtedly the work of incendi-
aries and several persons have been arrested, but
no positive proof Of their guilt has been adduced.
Few heavy stocks Of goods wore burnt, most Of
the buildings being occupied as dwellings. The
excitement created since the fire, against the des-
peradoes living among US, has resulted in the de.
termination on the part Of the citizens to prevent
The landing OF persons from penal colonies, unless
they can produce testimonials of character.

Captain Snow, a: worthy citizen of Sonora;

A large number Of Mormons from Salt Lake
Valley, had arrived at Los Angeles. 80
A man named Lewis Pollock was called from

The accounts from the mines and placers were
very favorable, and the prospects Of the crops
throughout the country very encouraging. San

Horrible yMWder.-A most shocking and hor-
rible murder has been perpetraed at Sonora, the
details of which are seldomequalled. Some per.

appeared in the Sonora Herald, went TO the room
Of the editor Dr.. Gum, dragged him from his

A HAPPY THOUGHT.

We invite attention to the communica-
ton of "Union' in this days paper. An
enthusiastic response to its suggestion, we
doubt not, will testify to its worth and wis.,
dom. The Washington monument fingers
n its upward progress,-not for wans OF
means in the country, or unwillingness to
contribute them-not from disregard to
the memory of patriot whose purity is
without stain, or low appreciation of the
priceless inheritance of the free institutions
we enjoy. Nothing of all this. The one
thing needful has been, plan, simple, eff
cient, appropriate-and here 1t is, in the
proposition of "Union." There is some
thing in it which strikes at glance-a sort
of combined magnetism which while it a.
wakens sympathy cannot fail to unite mil
lions of minute particles into mighty mass
of means.
The timing Of the suggestion is worthy
Of thought. The oppressed in other coun-
tries are compelled to win their rights at the
point of the bayonet-the people of this
happy country at the ballot-box. In this
State, new Constitution will shortly be
submitted to the people for ratification or
rejection. Freemen walk up to the proper
civil officers and say, we think thus and so,
and the revolution is over. Rivers of blood
in one country attest the struggle; not
bloody nose in the other. The majority
have only to speak, and the minority calm
ly acquiesce. On such jubilee day of ma
tional and constitutional liberty, how fit and
proper to drop small token of respect to
the memory of WASHINGTON, in the form
of small contribution to his Monument.
We anticipate bat one sentiment in Au-
gusta. A good thoughtleads to good deed,
and this is always good example. All the
counties acting in unison, it is no far fetch
ed idea, that other States will adopt the
plan and apply it to all general elections
A plan which would quickly shoot up the
Monument and cap it goriously.

SUPERsoRlPTroN OF LETTERS. -;In the directions
to postmaslers, in the Postal Guide, much stress
is laid Upon the proper saperScfiption Of letters.

that it ought to include the county, as well as
the State 10 which the letter is directed Packa-

county of the latter office. A postmaster in Tex

&a- The Southern Press, we observe, is
out against the new Virginia Constitution.
As we have already intimated, there are
some parts of the Constitution which we
cannot approve, and the introduction of
which exctes our serious apprehension but
the feature to which the Press especially
objects is one that goes far to reconcile US
to the whole instrument. Heretofore the
great State of Virginia has been governed
not only by minority of her people, but by
minority of minority. A comparatively
small party of erfra state rights men have
had the ascendency in our Legislature, and
have from time to time put forth resolution,
suiting themselves, as the sentiments of
Virginia, and have come nigh fatally COM
hitting the State to their own cherished
policy. We are truly glad to ieel that the
reign of this oligarchy is ended and that
under new apportionment of representa-
ton, the people Of Viy4inia will define the
position of the State and direct her destiny.
That her position and destiny will be differ
ent from what the Press desires, no one can
doubt. s~c
Speaking of the new Constitution, we
take occasion to remark, that, whatever may
be thought of its provisions, there can be no
difference of opinion as to its admirable
style and arrangement. 1t must have re-
CURED great labor to arrange every thing
"decently and in order" and to write the
Constitution over again, without changing
the sense, or alarming the patrons OF par
ticular sections by the altered forms and
dress their thoughts were made to wear
This duty was performed by the Committee
of Revision, of which our delegate II: w.
SHEFFEY, Esq, was Chairman, and upon
whom I'VE understands large part OF the la
Dor devolved.

CO. A band of Gypsies lately landed at N. York,
among the immigrants brought from Europe by
an emigrant ship. They are now encamped with
their covered wagons, in the neighborhood Of llo-
boken, and report themselves from the vicinity Of
Durham and New Castle, England. The wo-
men and children are said to possess the peculiar
physical features Of this strange race, having slen-
der figures and an abundance Of black hair. The
men pursue the business Of tinkeTs and the females
cook their meals by fires made in the open air
Ii is probable that we are indebted for this odd i'm
portalion Of humanity to the increased facilities for
immigration afforded by steam navigation and
should this small nucleus of new race Of people
which we have acquired in these Gipsy Immigrants,
be enlarged by accessions hereafter, it may be re-
served 10 the United States TO solve The problem
whether it is possible, under any form of social aud
political institutions, to analgamate with other
races a strange order Of cosmopoli,es, who have,
immemorially, been nomadic in habit, and intole-
rant Of any admixture with different people.
