We have several times spoken Of The
Chinese in the California population. The
last arrival is noticed, as below, in a San
Francisco paper. The whole guild Of shoe-
makers from some Chinese city must have

adop, new nades; for travellers represent
the Chinese as possessing more ap.ness and
facility Of adaptation, Than any other Asa..

The Oswego Palladium gives the following
doings of this retired politician We suspect
that the parties named had "other fish to fry
than those caught in the st. Lawrence:
We stated, a few days since, that Elk. President
Van Buren, and Francis P. Blair had gone down
the st. Lawrence river on fishing expedition.
1t appears that our friend Cooper, recently con-
nected with the Rochester press, went down
with the party from the city, and joined in the
sport. We find his report in the Rochester
Times, from which We copy the following His
letter is dated Alexandria Bay, August %:
"A few miles below French Creek, where the
river is most thckly studded with islands, is q
hamlet by the water side, called Alexandra Bay
Here the Bay State landed several passengers
in pursuit of sporting pleasure, including Mr.
Van Buren,, his friends, and your humble servant
"The only public house at this place is kept
by Mr.. Crossman, who is particularly attentive
to his guests. His house is not large, but is
kept in a neat and orderly manner. Among the
guests here were Rev. DIR. Bethune, of New
York; Preston King Senator Dart, and those
have before mentioned.
AT an early hour on the day following our
arrival, all was in commotion among the sporting
gentlemen, making ready for the excursion of
the day. Most of those who prefer angling,
employ an experienced man to row them among
the islands. Mr.. Bryan, of Rochester, and my
self, however, preferred exploring for ourselves
So we put n in small skiff, and were soon
among the islands,
We spent the day in fishing, and returned to
headquarters at night, after rowing some twenty
miles, with forty-five pickerel and bass, some of
the former weighing eight pounds each. AS the
different parties came in, their prizes were exam.
ined, and it was found that Mr.. Van Buren, had
taken the greatest number of fishes, while the
two Rochester gentlemen above mentioned had
taken the greatest amount in bulk. We should
have been quite willing to have yielded the en-
tire palm to the Usage of Undertook" had it
not been generally understood that Rochester
sportsmen are considered some
"The Ex-President never looked better.
passed him several times while among the is.
lands, as he sat erect in his skff, eagerly watch
ing his line, always ready for bite, and always
quick TO distinguish bite from nibble."

MOBILE AND ONO RAmRoAp.--A letter from
Col Chlds, chief engineer Of the Mobile and
Chic railroad, gives very Aattering account of
the progress Of that work, in favor among the
Mssissippians. The people of Lowndes county
have, in one week, subscribed for the building
Of eleven of the twenty-six miles which the
of Lowndes have called a general convention Of
all the counties in Alabama and Mississippi in.
teresied in the road, to meet at Columbus or
the third Monday in November.
Col Childs gives notice that thirteen miles o
the road will be ready for public use, with on.

of the line TO Citronella, as fast as the track,
can be laid.

admonitions to be drawn from its consideration,
which cannot be too deeply aud forcibly i'm
pressed upon the public mind Of the country.
This threatening issue was ultimately brought
TO close, in our national Legislature, by the
adoption of series of measures Familiarity known
as the compromise. That compromise was based
upon two important principles the first recog-
Missed the great American doctrine, of the right
OF every people, i'll the organization Of their State
governments, to determine for themselves,
whether or not they would have the institution
OF slavery, as part Of their social system-s
principle dear to every republican heart, ard one
upon which rests the whole fabric Of American
institutions thus repudiating that other doc
trne 80 Justly odious to the people OF the South,
of the right and duty Of Congress to reject a
State applying for admission into the Union, DO
cause her constitution tolerated the institution
| of slavery.
The other cardinal principle of the compromise
recognizes the constitutional obligation to deliver
up our fugitive slaves, when they may escape
into the non-slaveholdng States; duty ex-
pressly imposed by the letter of the Constitution,
and tie enforcement of ,Dhich is essential 10 the
pernanence of The republic. After the adoption
Of this adjustment by Congress, circumstances
imposed upon the people of Georgia the i'm.
portant duty of pronouncing the first authori-
tative judgment upon it. To our action, the
eyes Of the whole country were directed, and our
felow-citzens, every where, looked to our move
ments with anxious solicitude. 1t was under
these circumstances that Georgia was called
upon to speak. She spoke and her voice
breathed mingled spirit of ardent devotion to
the Union and of patriotic warning to its North
ern friends Looking to the past and consider
ing the lights and interests that had been in
volved in the contest; the dangers and Difficult
ties which had surrounded the country, and the
important principles upon which the final action
of the government was based, she solemnly de-
clared her determination to stand to, and abide
by, the compromise as a permanent and final
settlement Of this dangerous and vital issue. Its
inality and faithful enforcement in all its parts,
constituting essential elements, to commend it to
the favor and support of herself and her sister
States of the South. Looking to the future,
with reference to the menaces Of threatened ag-
gressions which had been so freely INDUCED in
by portion of the people of the North, and re.
garding the adoption of those measures against
which she raised her warning voice, in the fourth
resolution of her convention, as invidious blows
aimed at her most vital interest, she has calmly
but firmly said to this maddenod spirit of ia
natcism, "thus far shalt thou go, and no far
ther." Her position was taken with calmness in
1850; it has been re affirmed with deliberation
in 1861. And | now renew the pledge of my
hearty cooperation in maintaining ii with firm
ness and decision.

"A NEw WAY TO PAY OLD DEBrs.n-The
Arbroath Guide, an English paper, records this
Mennonite way of paying old debts: "A Nor

Joe Smiths disciple admitted the debt but ne
to settling it, that was a very different matter.
He now strictly followed the apostolic injunc-

and never troubled himself about worldly ar.
