THE MoRMoSs.-lhe 81. Louis Republican of
late date says that some three thousand Nor
mons were expected to arrive in the United
States, and proceed at once to Salt Lake Ar
rangements are making for the transportation
next year, of about thousand more from
Great Britain and the European Continent
Since the Mormons have publicly preached the
plurality wife SYSTEM" they have made cou-
verts with most delightful facility. 1t is one
of the new things under the sun, that seems to
take" amazingly among the gentiles and pub
licans. 1t is certainly very delightful doc
triue-very comfortable. Every knows
how pair Of pretty white arms thrown around
neck, fills ones soul with heavenly emo
tons. How beatifc must it be- them to have
two or three pair entwining ones neck at the
same time! oh it won't bear thinking Of"
in this wooden country. 1t is said that two or
three thousand of them contemplate locating in
San Bcrnardino county, in this State. when, il is
confidently predicted, some of these modern
Turks will not be permitted by the hundred
thousand California bachelors to enjoy the smiles
of half dozen wives, with any great degree OF
security. San Bernardno county will become
noted after while, place OF general resort
for young men DESTROYS of initiating the patri-
archs of old.

LAND TITLEs.-It is said that orders have
been received from Attorney General Cushing
to take an appeal in all cases decided by the
Land Commissioners in favor of the claimants
This being the case, the fee Of all lands in con-
troversy is in the United States, where it will
remain until decision is given by the Supreme
Court. This course will stop further injnnc-
by the lawful tribunals. And until such adjudi
cation is had, no one is legally empowered to
eject settlers from lands in con roversy.

FoREIGS MINERS LIcENsE.-Capt. Corsant,
Sheriff Of this county, informs us that he has
already disposed Of four hundred licenses TO
to the State and County Treasures each the
handsome sum of not less than six hundred dol
lars for the present month alone. The amount
collected next month will be still greater. The
foreign miners have paid up to man with but
little objection. We trust that the Americans
will see that men who are so ready to obey the
laws OF the State, are protected in all those
rights and privileges guaranteed to them by our
Constitution and laws-foreigners of all nations,
whether they be English, Irish Scotch, French,
German or Chinese

SACRAMENTO CRY ALL RIGHr.-One hundred
thousand dollars Of the debt of that city becom-
ing due on the first of July next, the Council
authorized bonds to be issued for that amount,
and advertised them for sale in the city papers.
We are glad to learn that her capitalists prompt
ly stepped forward and took the entire amount
Page Bacon & Co. being the largest purcha-
scrs. And by the last steamer, $4,000, the first
instalment due in New York, was transmitted
to that place. The Sacramento papers may well
boast of her enterprising citizens, and the
soundness of her finances, and predict for her
permanence and future greatness. The idea
that Sacramento, in many respects the favorite
city of the interior, would ever succnmb to fire,
flood. or any other sort of embarrassment, has al
ways seemed exceedingly preposterous to us.
Sacramento will never be permitted to go down
so long as Northern California continues inhab-
tied.

liar who charges him with being an Abolition

scribing for his paper for one year, according to
terms, copy of that budget of lies, :" Uncle
Toms Cabin" The Pacific Banner thereupon
announces that it will furnish new subscribers
copy of the Bible, by complying with its pub
lished terms. Christian reader, which is the
most Christian-like premium2 We would not
like to think the editor of the Adrocate an Adolf
ZIONIST, because we do not consider an Adolf
ZIONIST an honest man or gentleman. Never
theless when man lends himself to the dis
semnation of budget of Abolitionist lies-to
The circulation of book that teaches Abolition
ism of the viest Sort then, to say the least, he
places himself in position that renders him
liable to be suspected Wash your hands of the
dirty business Of circulating book that every
honest man who knows anything about the
South, will tell you is great lie.

Bisler or Roman is certain to receive the
nomination, for the reason that one or the other
will be either the first second choice of a very
large minority Of the delegates. According to
present information. the delegates already elect
ed stand about even for the two-the friends of
Gov. Bigler perhaps little ahead. The Cali
forninn, warm friend of the Governor thinks
lie will be renoninated on the first ballot, from
the fact that the San Francisco, Sacramen to, Ell
Dorado and Placer delegations are favorable to
him. The San Francisco Herald, however, be-
ing friendly to Maj. Roman, asscrts-in that
arrogant style SO disgusting to Democrats, and
which does Major R. SO much injury in the conn
try-that Gov. Bigler's claims will be dismissed
by the Convention with contempt. Such arii-
cles from the independent press of San Francis
co, in every instance, increase the prospects OF
Ihe person whom they are intended to iniure
and at this very time the Herald is receiving the
bitter curses of the friends of Major Roman.
The Major may well pray to be delivered from
the Incorporate zeal of his friends.

the 9TH ult. They contain very little news.
Every arrangement had been made to give Gen.
10 Lane an enthusiastic welcome. Hon. VIM.
NJ. King was appointed orator for the occasion.
A large number of gentlemen In jackson
County have written to A. A. Skinner, Esq,
asking him 10 consent TO become the Peoples
candidate" in opposition to Gen. Lane, 20 which
he responds favorably. Accordingly the follow
ing nominations have been made, in opposition
10 the regular Democratic ticket:
Delegate to Congress, A. A. Skinner; Repre-.

THE STEAMER ORIENr.-1hs trim little
steamer, the first to run regularly between Sa-
cramento and Colusa, has long enjoyed the very
enviable reputation of being among the fastest
boats on the upper Sacramento. She is now
commanded by A. d. Carpenter Esq, gentle
man in every respect qualified for the position.
We have enjoyed the personal acquaintance OF
Capt. c. for the past twelve months, and now
but utter our present and first impressions, i'll
saying that he is one of the most courteous and
atfable gentlemen that have ever known.
Such, we are persuaded, the travelling public
will always find him. 1t is the intention of her
commander, in few weeks, to take her to San
Francisco, and have entirely new cabin put
upon her, together with such other improve
ments as will make her second to no boat of her
class in the country, in point of comfort.
