The Promctheus California News.

Yesterday we announced the arrival of the
Steamship Prometheus, at New York, with one
days later news from California, since which,
we have received California papers from which
we CLEAN the following news:
The Vallejo correspondence of the Alta Cali
fornia, says: The Electors for President and
Vice President met at Vallejo on Dec. 1st, and
cast the vote of California for Franklin Pierce
and William r. King. Afterwards, Hon. Thorn
as J. Henley was selected to convey the result
to Washington. Eight ballots taken be-
fore choice was made. On the first ballot Mr..
Gregory had two votes, Mr.. Henly one, and an
other person one vote. On the two subsequent
ballots Mr.. Gregory had two votes, Mr.. Henley
one vote, and there was one blank. 1t was de-
cided that Mr.. Gregory had rot a majority, and
The Electoral College proceeded to ballot the
fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh times unsuccess-
fully Col. Gift receiving one vote on the fourth
and fifth, and J. G. Brent of Los Angeles, one
vote the sixth and seventh balloting. On the
eighth attempt, the vote was For Mr.. Henly
-Messrs. Sherwood Pico and Henly for Mr.
Brent-Mr. Gregory. So Mr.. Henly received
the choice of the college for messenger, which
office carries with it a very handsome amount of
compensation in the shape Of mileage.
There was very fair assenblage ofaspirants
for office, seeking for the recommendation of the
electors lin the event of election of Gen. PIERCE
for such offices as pay. Among the applicants
are some really good men and elegant gentle
men; but qnere with your correspondent who
is mere outsider,) would it not be as well to
wait few days, and ascertain who is elected
President? If Pierce should, by some bare
possibility, fail of election, those seekers for
the spoils of party, will have terrible fall.
EXECUTION and Bates were to be
hung last Tuesday at Shasta for the murder of
young man named Mitchell. Bates lately at
tempted to escape, but was detected and well
secured. Tatman has written a sketch of his
life, in which he confesses to several murders.
The Sacramento Californian says that the
beautiful blocks of marble intended for the
Washington National Monument were destroyed
at the late fire.
The snow is lying some five or six inches deep
upon the Trinity mountains.
The miners in Trinity county, we learn, and
believe, are almost universally doing well.

Accidents.

On Thursday evening last, at the Halfway
House, Mr. VIM. Smith, Conductor on the rail-
road, in attempting to jump on car or boat
truck, his foot caught between the cradle and ie-
yer and he was dragged for near mile. His
head and arms were shockingly mutilated. He
leaves family to deplore his sudden loss.
On Saturday morning, Mr.. Christopher Stultz,
was killed at the Intersection below Plane No.
g. He was standing upon the front of the bag
gage car, when the car ran off the track and
striking another car crushed him between them.
One of the Yorkmen on Mesrs. Shuman's sec
tion near jefferson, was killed instantly by a
mass of earth and rock falling upon him.

The Ebcnsburg and SUsquehanna PlankS
Road.

The agitation of this important projected i'm
provement has recommended, and under such
favorable auspices, that if the proper exertions
are made, the road will be constructed. Ameet-
ing is called for Thursday, Goth January, at
which it is to be hoped there will be large at
tendance of those interested. Every one in this
community is aware that so far, the present win
ter, there has been but little business transact
ed with the northern portion of the county ;
caused by the absence of the snow Last win
ter the trade with that section was very great
for the reason that we had good sledding and
plenty of it. A good plank road would enable
the farmer, the lumberman, and all others to
bring their products to market during any part
of the year, and would obviate the necessity OF
depending upon the weather. When such a
road is built it matters little whether we have
snow during the winter or not, and contracts for
the delivery of lumber and produce can be made,
with the certainty of having the article at the
designa ted place at or before the time contrac-
ted for its delivery. Good roads increase trade
and travel as is well illustrated in the case of
the Plank Road to jefferson the trade of
Ebensburg with that point (in our estimatlon)
having doubled since us COuSbIoO AoNAi4N
roads are the Farmers Railroads. Their pecu-
liar merit is, that the dminution of friction up
on them makes them akin to railroads, with the
advantage over railroads that every one can
drive his own wagon upon them. \ horse can draw
60 or three times as much upon plank road as
he can upon common road, and a greater degree
of speed can also be obtained with less injury
vehicles and to horses feet than upon common
road Upon plank road two-horse team ha s
drawn sir tons Of iron, thus exhibiting the adj
vantage of such road over Mud road. Tim
Der for planks is plenty along the line of this
road and there are numbers of persons who will
subscribe literally in that manner; others will
subscribe the value of their labor in grading the
road others will subscribe cash. The road can
be made if properly undertaken. If the trade
and increasing business of the county is to re-
main within her own borders instead of seeking
n market outside the limits of the county, the
construction of this road will be the surest
means to accomplish so desirable purpose ;
with an earnest wish Cor that, we express the
hope that the meeting on Thursday week may
be largely attended, and the proper measures
taken to build the road during the coming sum
mer. There's no such word as fail.

several cellars, as far up as Columbia, were fl

The Water Works are in operation, although
the company are compelled to use the large low

Those best cognizant of river matters say
that the river will commence falling by the morn

soon regain possession.

The U. $. Minister to England.

At recent banquet given by the Lord C)
Mayor of London, Hon. Joseph Il. LngersoN, of
Penn, the American Minister, delivered short
speech laudatory of the English and their gov
ernment, of which the PennsylUanian justly
says -
''That he should have followed so closely in
the footsteps of his illustrious predecessor %
the Hon. ABBOTT LAWRENCE, in his sickening
laudation of England and the English, need ex-
cite no SURPRISE as they both belong to the same
political faith That Mr.. LAWRENCE sometimes
disgusted even the aristocracy of England by
his over strained efforts and his fulsome adula-
ton of Queen VICTORIA and Prince ALBERT, is o
well known fact. How generally he succeeded
in producing the same effect upon a large por-
ton of the people of this country, is quite un-
necessary for us to say. We had hoped for bet
ter things of the Hon. ]. r. lNGERsoLL, but
we have been disappointed.
Few gentlemen of our acquaintance are held
in higher esteem for their social good qualities,
thfn our respected fellow-citizen 1t is there
fore with deep regret that we are called upon to
repudiate and condemn the sentiments contain
ed in his late speech in London as anti-Repub-
to himself and to the country he mis-represents.
What was it to him that there was SO much
loyalty' to a monarchy evinced by those who
were assembled upon that occasion :? By what
authority does he declare that the people of this
country hold England in such Glove and admira-
tion,'' as not to be excelled by any other in the
world Because the old Federal city of Bos-
ton recently chose, as he says, to bestow upon
an English aristocrat sthe honors elsewhere paid
to a conqueror,' is that any proof that the Amer
can people, generally, have become abject and
degraded sycophants at the footstool of British
power? What was it to him, as an american
Minister, that such a gorgeous parade was made
at the funeral of the Duke of Wellington In
what possible respect was all that empty show
a gratifying spectacle to Republican Repre-
sentative from the United States of America !?
What single act of thatleadng tory's life enti-
tied him to the grateful homage or remembrance
at the hands of an American freeman?
But the crowning climax in the foreign ad-
dress we are now very reluctantly examining, is
yet to come 1t is in the following words
sHe (NIr INGEBsoLL) had seen to-day the
LOYALTY with which the throne was regarded, and
he, too, was willing to say with them all, God
save the Queen.
There it stands. The record is complete.
The cap-stone is fitted to its place. An Ameri-
can (2) Minister is delighted with loyalty to the
British Crown, and prays that the English mon
arcby may be providentially preserved. The
ultimatum has at last has been reached---Feder-
al sympathy for those who wear a diadem cam
not we'll go beyond this. We hardly know
which emotion preponderates in our bosom at
that of pity or shame

Pennsylvania Railroad Company VS.. the
Canal Commit SIS toner's.

The Supreme Court has at last rendered a de-
cision in the case of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company VS.. the G. Com 'rs---the decision being
adverse to the Company. The decision takes
the ground that the Canal Commissioners repre-
sent the State, and have absolute control over
the works owned by the State. 1t seems strange
that there should ever have been any doubt
about so plain matter. We presume the Com
pany will hardly recognize the right of indivi-
duals to attach to the locomotives running on
the Pennsylvania Railroad without the consent
of the President and directors; why, then, should
the State not possess the same power over her
improvements There is no good reason why
the State should not have monopoly of the
business of carrying passengers on her own
road. If she grant such right to the COM
pany, it would be strange if she did not possess
the power herself ---Standard.
