The Alta Californian Of January 2lst, In
giving a summary Of fortnlghts news,
says:
So little has transpired of general inter-
est since the departure of the steamer of

summary of events we are at loss for
leading feature of news. In all parts OF the
State. from which we have intelligence up
to the eve of the departure Of the Golden,
Gate, the greatest order and quiet prevail.
In the South, the Indian, disturbances are
at an end, and throughout the mining region
of Nor hern California uniform peace and
good will 90 hand in hand with prosperity.
The State Legislature is now in session
at Sacramento, to which city it adjourned
about week since. The removal of the
seat of government WIS brought about by
the failure of the Vallejo contractors to pro-
vide suitable accommodations for the State
officers and the Legislature. That body
convened on the 9th instant at Vallejo, and
proceeded to the business Of opening the
session. The message of Governor Nc
Dougal was transmitted, and followed by
the resignation of that officer Governor
Bgler having been declared elected, and
installed, and his inaugural, with that Of
Lieutenant Governor Purdy's to the Senate,
having been received and read, the Legisla-
ture took steps to adjourn. Several prop
ositions were made by the citizens Of Ben
ecia, San jose Marysville and Sacramento,
and finally, after some opposition the Legis-
lature, by concurreat resolution, decided
!
modous new courthouse had been placed
at their service.
On Friday last, the 10Th instant, both
Houses met at the new seat of government,
where they have since continued in quiet
session, without accomplishing any import
ant business. The Safe archives had been
removed by order Of Governor McDouga!,

was made to remove them, obtained an in

several days They have since been re-

is the Capitol viii soon be settled by a
decision of the lpreme Court But little
doubt exists that the Capitol rightfully be-
longs to San Jose. AS we have stated, the
proceedings of our Legislature, thus far,
are destitute of general interest. There
are two or three contested seats, to be dis
posed of before legislation viii become
brisk. The election Of a United States
Senator is the first important step to be tax
en-. \ number of candidates, the most
prominent of whom are, Messrs. Weller,
King, Mclean, Henley, and Broderick, are
before the Legislature, but at this time it is
utterly impossible to determine the pros

been held for several dlys past in Sacra-
mento. 1t is by no means full represen-
ton of the Settlers and Miners interests
of this State, its long pretentious title to
the contrary Notwithstanding, and but little
interest is taken in It's proceedings.
Col. r. Mckee, Indian Commissioner,
has been quite successful in his treaties
with the Indians of the North Coast coun-
try. He has made treaties with four large
tribes, and it is the belief of the people Of
that section, that they viii be respected,
and that Indian difficulties in that quarter
are at az end for the present.
In Southern California peace and con-
tentmert likewise prevail. The last act of
Indian insurrection terminated in the death
of Antonio Cara, the chief of the most
powerful hostile tribe. He was captured
by detachment under command Of Genl
Bean, brought into San Diego, and after a
fair trial was condemned and shot, Jan. TO-
The Indian Commissioner DR.. Wozencraft,
afterwards went among the d;slfected tribes
and concluded treaties Of peace with the
Cahuilla, Pablo, Calientes, and San Luis
Bev Indians.
The advance guard Of the Boundary Sur

and they report the Indians along the ella
as an ugly set, requiring the strong arm of
military law to keep them in check and
proper position. Mr.. Gray, chief engineer
of the expedition, made the journey from
