FORTNIGHT LATER FROM CALIFORNIA.

BY almost simultaneous arrivals of passenger
steamers at New York and New Orleans we have
accounts from San Francisco to the lst November.
The question of dividing California into two States
was still agitated, and meetings favoring that object
had been recently held at Santa Barbara and San
Francisco The advces by the last previous arrival
gave us to understand that the project met with but
little favor except in the southern counties of the
State several of which had then appointed Delegates
to attend General Convention on the subject.
The accounts from the mining districts are repre-
sented in our Telegraphic dispatches to be of the
most cheering character. The yield of the precious
metal it is stated, shows rather an increase than
abatement, and the estimate of the product of the
year is carried as high even as seventy five millions
On the Middle Fork the miners have done remark
ably well, and new discoveries have been made at
the Cold Spring and Volcano diggngs All ac-
counts agree in saying that the coming season will
be the most profitable ever known in the annals of
California.
The papers continue to TEEN with accounts of
MURDERS robberies, duels, &C., though in many
the offenders are arrested and summarily punished
Indian disturbances were of less frequent occurrence
During the last fortnight fair amount of bust
ness had been done in the trading and commercial

The most startling intelligence from San Fran
cisco is the report of the murder of eleven of the
passengers and crew of the New York clipper ship
Challenge, by the captain and mates of the vessel
This deed caused intense excitement in San Fran
cisco. The mates had been arrested by the autho-
rites, but the captain made his escape. This
story, no doubt, has two sides to it, and we shall
probably have the whole truth when the California
papers come to hand.

Government to search for Sir JOHN FRANKLIN, had

The Hon. LINN BoYD, Speaker elect of the
House Of Representatives having heretofore served
several terms in Congress as Representative from
Kentucky, and frequently presided as Chairman Of
the Committee of the Whole House, is doubtless IA
miiar with the Rules and Usages Of the House, and
may be presumed to be well qualified, in that re-
spect for the duties to which the House has called
him. In politics, Mr.. BOYD is Of the Democratic
school, and will be expected, in the appointment of
Committees, &C. to carry out the principles of his
party We are not disposed to doubt, however, that
he will upon the WHOLE make good presiding officer.
The Wing party of the House being in decided
minority, rendered any concert Of action on their
part in the elections unnecessary, it would have
been unayaiing, and therefore the Members of that
party cast their votes for Speaker according to ndi
vidual preference, nearly the whole number, how
ever, being given to two gentlemen Of eminent
worth and fitness, Messrs STANLY and CHANDLER.

THE DAY OF THANKSGIVING.


What friend of his country but feels his BOSOM
glow with unwonted pride on reading the following
spirit-stirring paragraph the moral Of the gene
ralty of the observance of the late Thanksgiving
FROM NEW YORK MIRROR OF LAST.
This Thanksgiving has suggested one reflection
worthy of more than passing consideration to wit,
that there are other than political bonds holding our
great nation together. Yesterday twenty eight Of
the thirtyone States Of the Union joined in thanks
to God; among other things, for the growth, pros
perity, and unity of this Republic. Aye we can
even now hear the echo of fervent thanks for the
preservation Of glorious Union, ringing the
pulpits and hearths of the North the South, the
East, and the West. Twentyeight States have
bent the knee and bowed the head on the same day,
and perhaps at the same hour, and thanked God and
besought him for the same blessings. Can ropes Of
grass and bands iron bind nation together like such
a spirit as this !? Can the multitude who pray and
worship so devoutly to-day at the same altar for
common good, arise tomorrow and smite another
and be divided No! BY this sublime scene just
past, we may believe that patriotism and religion
united at the affairs Of Liberty and will defend
their temple, the Union, forever.
