Although these works are distinguished bv the

States. Such works as "'The Caxtons'' and .sMv

To the Senate and House Of Representatives If the
United States in Ccngrsss assembled: The memorial
Of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
they are entitled to Bounty Land. under the act
Of 18th Of September, 1850, that they are informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
that they do not expect or desire TO reside on the
land thus granted; that IL patented to them the
expense of agencies and taxes will he an annual
charge, reducing the value of the grant. which
they could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant.
Your mernoralists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale Of the warrants, assumes
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands, are not Competent to act for themselves,
whereas many Of them are among the most intel
gent and respectable citizens Of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be so modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignabIe, and they will ever
pray, &c. n af hai1o

The Hou.,on Telegraph ofthe 25th Iulv saws
THE CALIFORNIA NEWS.

The anxiety of the city to hear from Cafer-
MIA, was grated this morning, in extras issued at
an early hour from this Office, with the substance
of the news, the details of which are now before
our readers.
The public anxiety, however, has been much
diminished by the reports in detail, the inklings
of which, by the Telegraph, from New Orleans
having led to expectations OF receiving much
| more disastrous accounts of the fire than we &C
| tually have.
| The loss is estimated at $4,000, 900, which
looking at the Details seem to us an exaggeration
| The ravages of the fire were confined in a great
| measure to section of the city where the dwell
| lings were not costly, and the amount of goods
| stored comparatively small The hour at which
the fire broke out fortunately gave full time to
most of those whose stores were burnt, to re.
move the most valuable part of their goods to
places of safety. Acting from dear.bought expe-
rence gained in former vistations of the same
kind, the whole city appeared to be moving ten
minutes after the alarm sounded On this &C.
count the quantity of merchandise consumed was
comparatively small.
The only brick buildings of consequence de-
stoyed were the California Guard Armory, belong
ing to Mr. Syme, the "Alta California" office and
the warehouse of Markwad & Caspari.
Tremendous efforts were made by the firms do
ing business under Markwald & Caspars build
ing to save it. 1t had escaped unscratched by the
previous fire, and being considered fire proof, was
filled with large amounts of costly goods. In the
attempt to preserve several persons unfortunate
ly lost their lives.
The steamer brings us an Unexpectedly large
amount in specie,-with news that more is com
ing in the steamers to follow. This will tend
agreeaby to fill the vacuum, caused by the ex-
ports to Europe from this port
Passengers from San Francisco report, that
| The supply of gold from the mines was great, and
that tie city was quite recovering from the fire.
| The best proof that the losses on the merchan-
disc have not been great, is, that the markets
have been unaffected.
| Lynch Law seems now to be the law of the
land in all pats of California. Alas, that there
seems to be an overwhelming necessity forit.

CHOJER A.

We have already published some account of the
rightful ravases Of The cholera in Grand Canary
The British consul at the island, without attempting
account fully for the cause suggests the following
siderations:
"You are aware that during the prevalence of this
epidemic in Europe, when reached Cadz, these
islands well Madrid were preserved intact
The usual course OF the winds is from that direction
There has been change noted in this respect within
these last months. The cholera has lately been
making great ravages in the West Isdes-a position
Numerically opposed to the of the air, 1t ap-
pears therefore, almost impossible that we should have
received the germ Of this destroyer simply through the
atmosphere. The credited reports here tend to con-
trsry opinion. About the 9Th or 9th of May vessel
arrived from Havana, with clean bill of health and
was consequently admitted to pratique without any
preliminary tumigaton.
I is said that the first house in San Jose Ia suburb
principally inhabited by poor PEG ley in which this dis.
ease made its appearance, was that of washer wo-
man who had taken the mattress and foul clothes OF
OF the passengers to wash, and that her children
slept upon them during the night Death soon fol-
lowed. One neghbor after another was slowly, but
too surely attacked; and when the air sufficiently
contaminated, its fatal effects generalzed."

Abolition Excitement in North Carolina.

We learn from the Wilmington Commercial
that an abolition meeting was held in Guilford
County, N. c. OIL Saturday week. About three
or four hundred assembled; one third of them
abolionists. 1t having been reported that Crooks,
noted abolitionist, and Bacon, his associate,
would hold forth, delegation from the other side
attended. Both parties were armed with guns,
pistols and clubs, prepared for the worst. A
certain abolition captain appearing with his COM
pany on the ground, fully equipped, was imme-
diately ordered by General Simpson to dsband his
men, which was done in double quick time.
The Peoples Press, in remarking upon these
proceedings, says:
"Several gentlemen addressed the company in
opposition to the course the abolionists are pur-
suing, and extracts were read from the Annual
Report of the abolition Society of the North, in
which the names of Crooks, McBridge and Bacon
appear as emissaries sent out to Virginia and
North Carolina, to labor in the cause of abolition
stating, we believe, that they had been instru-
mental in running off, near one hundred
slaves in the above named States, during the past
year."
