CALIFORNIA AND IT'S REpREsENTATIoN.-We
have already stated that the present population
of California is about $4,000. BY the United
States census, only such persons are enume-
rated as were residents of the State in June
last, or almost year ago and that enumera-
ton, according to the California Courier, shows
that the population at that time did not exceed
10000 SO far, therefore, from California
being entitled to three representatives in Con-
gress, she will be fortunate if she gets two.
The ratio of representation will not vary much
from 5000 this will give California one mem
ber and leave fraction of $4,000 over. AS
some twelve States having the largest fractions
will be entitled each to one additional member,
California will probably retain, during the next
ten years, her present representation, but no
thing more.

A SABBATH AT THE PENITENTIARy

A melancholy pleasure attends Sabbath
visit to the Washington penitentiary. The nc
cessity of walls, bars, and bolts, to protect So
ciety against any Of its members, presents re-
Elections of deep melancholy. The supply of
food, clothing, and christian instructor, pro-
yided for those thus deprived of their liberty
either by crime or misfortune modifes this
melancholy by degree of pleasure, by combin-
ing kindness and humanity with a necessary
rigor of treatment.
The foundation of the general regimen admin
istered at the penitentiary for the District OF
Columbia, by Mr.. Ellis the warden, is evidently
kindness. BY this kindness, not only submis-
sion but confidence is secured from the prison
ers, under rigorous treatment and restricted
privileges. 1t was remarked that the warden
would scarcely apprehend danger from any one
of the culprits by sleeping in the same room
with him alone. He also remarked that, though
called by circumstances to fill the place he then
occupied, his sentiment still was, millions for
schools, but not dollar for prisons"
The Sabbath exercises of the prison, under
the administration of Rev. Austin Gray, the
chaplain, are appropriate, impressive and sol
emn. The subject of his discourse and the
mode of presenting it, on an occasion recently
witnessed, were evidently well selected as
shown by the attention and interest exhibited
through the entire exercises, embracing those
of the Sabbath school and of the pulpit. We
returned from Sabbath visit to the peniten-
tiary with the agreeable reflections, that while
the number, character and appliances of schools
remain inadequate to the prevention of crime,
thus avoiding the necessity of prisons, it is q
source of qualification that they may be, and
are, conducted on principles of humanity and
christian kindness. .#

CALIFORNIA, AND WHAT 1T is TO BE.-The
regularity and frequency with which we now
receive news from California have abated much
of the interest at first felt in all that concerned
that wonderful portion of our Republic
California, however, is only beginning to be
OF Importance as part of our Republic. The
influence it is destined to exert upon the pro-
gfess OF American republicansm and American
commerce is but dimly foreshadowed by what
mas already occurred. Its real Importance will
not be tully understood for years to come. The
stores OF gold that may be gathered from it's
sands ana rocks are but small part of it's
value. The miners and speculators who now
seek for wealthin its valleys are not the men
who will deyelope its great resources, or do
most in working out its destiny. These men
are but the forerunners of better class who
will come after them. At present many of
them appear to be rather curse than bless
ing to the country, yet they are breakers-up of
the way; and out of the evil good must come.
The unworthy must give place to the more wor-
thy. This is the order of Providence, and it
will be fulfilled in this instance, as in all others
Industry and settled life will take the place
of avaricious speculation and restless adventure.
Every day the new State will become more
closely allied and more nearly assmilated to
the States of the East Communication by
railroad and telegraph will by-and- bye be opened
up and while its gold attracts and enriches the
commerce of the Atlantic, it will also be the
great debouching point, from which civilization,
enterprise and commerce will spread them
selves over the wide waters of the Pacific, res
cuing China and Japan from the obscurity of
centuries, and spreading knowledge and liberty
to the farthest boundaries Of the habitable

Government have ordered one of the vessels in

themselves of the opportunity to renew the
attempt to open negotiation with Japan, for
the establishment of commercial intercourse.
