THE OLD CONSTITUTION.

II is a part Cf the history OF the old Con-
stilution, that after it was framed by the
Convention il was never submitted to vote
of rat fcation by The people, i was taci'ly
received and submitted 10 from that day 10
this 1t had very many imperfcctions, even
for lac times for which Il was framed; and
il has many gross errors Of language, which
were even ridiculous then, and are much
moro ridiculous now. Some of these the
Ohio Statesman has pointed out, TO answer
Ike fac.ious opposition Of writer in the Jour.
nal Ogains. The DhraseolOgy Of the new in-
sirument. 81 lg 81
For instance, Section z, Article 8, reads
thus:

SUCCESSFUL DAMMINC COMPANIES -
The Oregon Bar Company, consisting of
twenty-five men, have taken out S35, 900
the present season. They have not
disbanded, but merely suspended opera
tions until spring. Their dam is built
go securely that they have sanguine
hopes of its withstanding the foods of
tho present season.
The New York Damming Company,
on the same stream, have relieved the
river bed of about $50, 900 since the Goth
OF July last. The company, which is
composed of seven men, intend resuming
operations in the spring, as soon as the

on the North Fork, are probably ere this

The Correspondent of the Daily
Courier, writing from the city of Mex

The Correspondent of the Daily
Courier, writing from the city of Mex
leo, under date of Nov. 16, says:
Contrary to the general expecta-
ton, the insurrection in the north has
terminated fatally for the insurgents.
After siege OF nine days, and good
deal of hard fighting. Carbajal with>
drew his forces from Matamoras. and
they were finally disbanded, and found
refuge in Texas and in the mountains.
On the 25th of October, the insurgents
set fire to the outskirts of the city,
where they were quartered, fed, and
threw their only piece of artillery into
the Rio Bravo. The whole popula-
ton of Matamoras, it is said. lent their
whole efforts, and We'd with the SOL
diers of Alvales, against the insurgents
and invading force. The Mexicans
say "Matamoras has covered herself
with glory" and rejoice greatly, you
may be sure, at what they call the de-
feat of "los Americanos." Mr.. Fill
more comes in, and deservedly so, too,
for a general share of the praises of
the Mexican officials and people.
But, after all, this revolution in the
North will not be without its effect up
on the prohibitive system of the Mex
lean government. A large portion of
the people are clamorins for lower du-
ties, while the manufacturers and other
moneyed interests are equally as moi
sy in their demands upon Congress to
preserve the present system intact, or,
if any change is made, that it be made
in increasing rather than in lowering
the tariff. Two powerful parties are
thus likely to spring mp. and which
ever course is taken, no doubt some
military man or other will take advan-
tage of the storm to ride into power.
Who knows but it will be Santa Anna?
With the exception Of two or three
slight shocks Of an earthquake, we
have had nothing exciting for the last
ten weeks.

The Vienna correspondent of the Lon.


Inc vienna correspondent of the Lon
don Daily News writes thus. in rcla-
tion to the hanging of Kossuth and his
friends in efigy, at Pesth
On the 22d of September, early. the
names and cfigies of the Hungarian fu-
gitives were publicly executed by hang
ing them in the market place Of Pesih,
with all the dreadful solemnities which
accompany the execution Of human
being. Disappointed in their passionate
desire to wreak the most frightful ven
geance on the head of Kossuth and his
friends, the Austrian Government has
hung them in efigy The Mirror of
Pesth, reports the fact in the simple
terms which state of siege permits.
The military were drawn out and
formed into square, within which there
appeared the usual gallows. The officer
in command read the sentence Of the
court martial, according to which SO
persons were sentenced to death in Ell
fgy. The sentence having been read,
the hangm was ordered to do his duty
which he did by hanging up string of
black boards. on which the name of the
sentenced criminals were written.
Of course the military were indis-
pensible. otherwise the Iopulace would
instantly have torn down the boards and
hung the hangman and his commanding
officer in their place.

MIsING lNrELLIGENcE.---Wc copy the
following, on the mining prospects Of the
south, from the Stock kton journal, of
Tuesday last
A large majority of the miners are in
what is called dry diggings," awaiting
the rainy season. The little rain We
have had, has been sufficient to enable
them, in some places, to prospect and
many who were unsettled have been
induced to build cabins and lay in IL
winter supply Of provisions. There are
largo settlements at Mokelumne H;ll,
IN Calaverns county: ut Shaw's Flat,
Columbia, Yankee Hill, the Chinese
Camp and Sonora, in Tuolumne county:
and Aqua Frio and NlaYiposa, in Mari
posa county Most oflhe people in thos.
places are waiting impatiently tor rain
Some are throwing up earth, while
others are engaged in digging races to
convey water from the rivers, so that it
we should not have the expected fall Of
rain, the miners in many of our richest
placers will be enabled to work during
the whole year. Should the rain how
ever prove even moderately abundant,
there is no calculating the amount 1t
gold which will be turned into the
channels of trade during the next six
months.
The result of the various experiments
in quartz mining remains to bc seen.
Few of the large mills ere ctcd in tho
south have been enabled to operate for
want of water. Hundreds of veins have
OF late been prospected and registered,
many of them exceedingly rich; but
capitalists are unwilling to invest large
ly until the success of the companies
about to operate has been ascertained.

LATEST FRoM BEAR VALLEY. - We
take the following from the Stockton
Journal of Tuesday last:
MIR. Turner, the popular agent Of
Reynolds, Todd & Co., who has just re-
turned from business tour through the
southern mines informs us that the re-
ruted richness Of the new discovery at
Bear Valley is most reliable fact. He
says that the original discoverers have
only sunk their hole to II depth of twelve
feet, and that the whole amount they
have realized fiom the claim cannot fall
below S40O,000 The whole neighbor-
hood is perfectly wild on the subject,
and claims have been staked off in eve-
ry direction from the favored spot
When Mr.. Turner left, it was reported
that another party had found the pre-
cious lead among whom he says he
thought he heard the name of Capt.
Whittier, formerly Of this place
When tho news frs. spread, the rush
OF people to the spot was tremendous
and provisions rose accordingly. Wag-
ons were cmptiei directly into the
hands of the hungry crowd at enormous
prices, and every thing commanded
profits such as they did two years ago.
Wc see it stated in San Francisco
paper tina. tho Mexicans believe the
gold in the rich hole at Bear Valley
never can be exhausted! Such ex-
aggeraled statements do no good. The
truth is that nothing is known of the
richness of the mine, any arther than
the shaft has been sunk 1t is now re.
ported that there are two ot three rich
holes. Others may or may not be found
but the probability is. that the Beal
Valley region will now be we'll explored,
and other discoveries be made.

A statement is put forth by various
European Journals to the effect that
England and France had united in re-
commencing to the Spanish govern
ment a plan OF negro emancipation for
the Island of Cuba, on the Jamaica
system, as the best means to preserve
that island from the inroads and am
bilious designs of the United States.
The French republic being entirely
under the influence of England, it was
expected that such policy would be
adopted, because it would eaectually
check mate the United States.

The EFFECT OF Prices. - Nothing
shows more forcibly that the condition
of affairs in California has very materi-
ally changed from what it was two years
ago that money is not so easily obtain
ed now as it was then, than the relative
fullness of the dress circle and the up
per tiers in the Jenny Lind. There is
but dollars difference between the
first and second circles, and yet it fre-
quently happens tina: while the latter is
full, the former contains comparati, ely
but few spectators.

In addition to these, the Carolina an |

Within the same time, the Republic

about $780, Total departures, 500 Ex-
cess of arrivals over departures, 500.
The Golden Gate will leave to-mor-

been increased in week by about 700.
is gratifying to notice, as an index
OF the permanent charact ter of our popu-
iation, that while every steamer brings
large increase to the number of ladies
and children in our midst, very few are
leaving us. Nor should the number of
those going east be taken as all lost to
the State, for at least one third leave

A GREAT VILLAIN.-The man John
B. Harden, lately hung by lynch law in
Milton, Florida, with negro, for mur.

richly deserved death, for he had been
villain al his life. He had twenty
wives living, and had killed sixteen men,
and all he was sorry for was that he
was that he was not permitted to
