SENATORS FROM MISSISSIPPI.

We learn that the following elections have been
made to the United States Senate, by the Legislature
of Mississippi Walter Brooke, Union Wing, to fill
the unexpired term of Gen. Foote; and Stephen R..
Adams, Union Democrat, to fill the vacancy occa-
stoned by the resignation of Jefferson Davis. Foote'S
expires the Sd of March, 1853, and that of Da-
Wis the Sd of March, 1857.
The Washington Republic, the organ Of President
Fillmore. is very much pleased with this result. 1t
is the work of that consistent individual, H. S. Foote.
The Democracy of Mississippi and Of the country
generally. have long account to settle with Mr..
Ex-senator Foo.e, and trust they will do it to the
last item.

EMIGRATION TO CALIFORNIA.

friend. writing US from Burke County under a
| recent date, says:
"There has been large emigration this Fall and
Winter from this and the adjoining County of Nc
Dowell to California. Two weeks ago a party of
four Eve of most respectable citizens left for
the land of gold, taking with them about thirty ne
groes. 1 am unable to estimate the number of white
persons and negroes who have LETT this region for
California but have been told by person of in
tolgence, that. from pretty good information the
subject, he estimates the amount of money which has
been taken out of the two Counties of Burke and Nc
Dowell by the California emigrants, at something
over two hundred thousand dollars.''
Our Correspondent then speaks of those in that
region, who, year since, protested to believe
with Mr.. Webster. that California was totally un.
suited to slave labor and that it could never 90
there. but who take different view of the mat
ter aid. under the promptngs of interest," sending
off their slaves to this unDrOnpising land.
These emigrauts from Western Carolina will prove
valuable accession to California. They have been
accustomed to mining operations for years and their
negroes also doubt we'll skilled, from long ex-
perience, in this department of labor.
We have entertained strong hopes, all along, that
Slavery would be established in California and we
grati6ed see movements with that end in view,
going forward steadily and prosperously. If Con-
gress would only disregard the hate recommendation
of President Fillmore the subject and sell or lease
the mines belonging to the United States, a very de-
cided impeteus would be thereby given at once to
the Slavery movement. AS soon as the mines cease
to be public property, subject to plumber. and pass
into the hands of permanent private owners, Slavery
will, in all probability. be brought into requisi,on,
as the only means of working them to advantage or
profit.
California snow sovereign State, and has, there
fore, undoubted right alter her Constitution and
establish. Slavery. Should she do so, some of the
free States would protest in strong terms, and let off
good deal of extra piely but they would be care
full not to dissolve the Union on account of it.

GENERAL SooTr-AN OFFER DECLINED. The
New Orleans Della, Democratic paper, refers to a
fact of which il says has been time cognizant
that General Scott when in the city of Mexico, after
its capture offered by several of the wealihiest
citizens Of the Mexican republic be made President
of that country and, inducement the offer,
they bound themselves to settle upon him the sum of
one million of dollars. This splendid oer,'' says
the Della, twas declined by the General with
ly moments consideration. The brave old soldier
could not be tempted by such inducements abandon
the flag under which he had achieved so much renown
and HONOR
Republic.
The above is truly wonderful fact Gen. Scott,
seems, refused traitor his country desert
his army and flag, and make himself eternaIly infa-
nous; and for this he is praised The poor, half
starved creature, who puts away the temptation of
stealing to supply his physical wants-and there are
many of these poor in the free States-de
much credit than Gen. Scott does for not
accepting the Office of" President " of Mexico. But
this, suppose, Is to be one of the issues of the
next campaign Gen. Scott is to be President of the
United States, because he declined desert his
try TO be President of Mexico!

There was residing in Morris County, a Mrs.

"Well, what do you think, Mrs. TIL have been

me all about how you found her ladyship, how she
appeared, and what she said.''
"Wel, will honestly tell you,'' replied MIS-.

in our most elegant rues and silks, and were intro

her kniting, 1cith specked <check) apron on! She
received US very gracefully and easily, but after the
compliments were over, she resumed her knitting.
There we were, without stitch of work and sitting
in stale, but General Washington's lady, with heI
own hands, was knitting stockings for her husband
and herself. And that was not all. In the course
