rV@ The Legislature meets upon the
second day of January next. Already
some of our members have started below
TO be in time for the convening. 1t is to
be hoped that the members of the present
session will not waste so much time upon
the specializing wants of lobby members.
Every winter the Capitol of our State is
crowded with men whose only aim is to
have passed through the Legislature laws,
the benefits of which accrue entirely to
themselves without being of any special
advantage to the people at large. We
hope the members will feel inclined to
give all such worthless the 60 by, and lend
more attentive ear to some of the whole
some reforms and recommendations
which have been suggested by Gov. Bigler
and other officers of State. If the MEM
bers will adopt this course the people
may expect to see some wholesome legis-
lation-and God knows they need it. If
not, nothing can be expected but the wild
and reckless course which has heretofore
been pursued. The people are desirous
that efficient means should be taken to
decrease the debt of the State, so as to
relieve them of the heavy burthen of tax
alton which now weighs them down
In the county of Placer, the citizens
generally are IN favor of the removal of
the Capital to Sacramento, believing it to
be every way better suited and more con-
venient for the citizens Of the State, We
have no doubt that this desirable move
will be consummated, and that our mem
bers will heartily support it. At the same
time it should be done quickly, and with
the least possible expense to the State.
Our citizens generally, 1--WE have heard
of none in favor of iD, are opposed to
the election of United States Senator this
winter. MIR. Van Cleft informs us that
the feeling is universally so in his part of
the county; and MIR. O'Neil, short time
since, told us that a similar feeling existed
in the section of the county in which he
resides. There can be no mstaking it
it exists everywhere throughout Placer.
The people believe that the time spent in
legislating for the wishes of asprants
could be more profitably employed by
members in legsating for the true inter
ests of their constituency; and we hope
it will be.

The news of the taking of La Paz by
Walker and his party has reached the
City of Mexico, and Santa Anna has des-
patched 600 troops to the assistance or
the Lower Caifornians. This number,
however, Will not be able to compete with
the number which Walker has under his
command by this time.
The news from Sonora is, that the peo-
pie of that State are preparing to meet
the "nvaders." Several thousand Yaqul
Indians are employed in fortifying Quay
mas and preparing for better state of
defence. The Governor has issued
proclamation declaring all persons who
invade Sonora pirates, and that they will
be shot wherever found.

A MOUNTAIN TURNIP.-Mr. S. Patch
man tells US of a turnip raised this season
upon the Bush Creek ranch, in Trinity
county, measuring thirteen inches in di-
ameter, and weighing sixteen pounds.
Pretty fair for the mountains. We our
selves saw one some weeks since, raised
by Mrs. Moffat in Scott's Valley, that
weighed upwards Of twenty pounds, and
another still larger, raised by Mr.. White,
in the same valley. We observe the
Tenth Legion, Virginia paper, glorify
ing over IL specimen of this vegetable
weighing four or five pounds! Remark
able for Virginia, but indifferent for Cali
fOrnia Shasta COur.

ENORMOUS QUARTz SPECIMEN. - A
quarlz specimen weighing 257 pounds,
found on the divide between Amadore and
Ranchiere Creek, about GO rods west of
the stage road from Dry town to jackson,
is now on exhibition at the jeWe'ry store
Cf MessrS. Hitler & Andrews. Its outer
surfarc is more than half covered with
shining PARTICLES of gold, deeply emhed-
ded in spots, and apparently of the very
finest quality. 1t is perhaps the largest
single piece of quartz of equal richness
ever taken out in the State.

PROPOSALS FOR AN INLAND SEA.-The
interior of Australa-a barren sandy de-
sert-has been found to be considerably
below the level of the sea. 1t is now pro-
posed to employ British convicts in cut
ting narrow canal from the ocean to the
desert, IA distance Of about $50 miles
when it is expected that the rush of water
would be so great as to widen the canal
and cause the formation of an inland sea
almost as large as the Mediterranean, to
the inca, ulabie benefit of vast extent OF
territory at presend wholly useless.

News FROM SALT LAKE.-The Salt
Lake mail arrived at San Francisco on
Thursday last 1t was brought by Mr..
Kncaid by land to San Pedro, and thence
by water to San Francisco. The dates
from Salt Lake are to the 1lth Nov.
Mr.. Bridger, the mountaineer and In
dian trader is not killed, as was reported
by the previous mail. The Mormons are
not guilty, as was charged, with his death.
He has left for Missouri alive and well.
Il his is certain.
Capt. Gurmsson's exploring party have
all been killed by the Indians. Governor
Young sent out party who found the
dead, and recovered their papers and i'll
struments all safe.
Large numbers Of emigrants have left
Salt Lake for San Bernardino. They
are nearly there. Heavy loss in sheep
nearly one half. No snow, and but little
grass. The hostility of the Indians is to
the Mormons only. This is the first ID
stance Of any other murder.

REPORT OF THE EXPLORING PARTY-A
meeting of the Executive Committee of
the Pacific Railroad was held last night,
at the Merchants Exchange, says the San
Francisco Herald of Sunday, for the pur-
pose of hearing the report Of the party
sent out under the command Of Mai Eb-
bets, for the purpose of exploring the
passes of the Sierra Nevada, and to dis
cover route for the Pacific Railroad -
From the papers read on the occasion, it
appeared that the party crossed the Sierra
Nevada at the head of the Stanislaus
river. Here they found the elevation to
be, Gas they judged) 10000 feet above
San Francisco. They pronounce that
route impracticable. On the return, they
crossed the Sierra by the pass known as
Johnson's Cut Off One of the SUBMITS
at this point they explored, and are of
opinion that it could be turned. The
second summit they did not explore, but
they think it impracticable. Ebbett's
Pass, they are of opinion, will be found
entirely practicable. They would not
have returned so soon but for the loss of
their mules. Sac Union.

FALLS OF MIssoURI.-in the St. Louis
Republican of Nov. 18th Lieut.. Santon's
report of Gov. Stevens exploration as
far as Fort Benton, is published and con
tains the following notice of the great
falls of the Missouri:
Mr.. Tevis and one or two of his friends
visited the Falls of the Missouri, distant
thirty miles from Fort Benton. The Falls
present a splendid appearance. At this
point the river is about four hundred yards
wde-the fall is about forty feet, into an
apparently bottomless chasm. Long be-
fore you reach it, the spray is seen from
the prairie, ascendinglto the skies, and the
mountains in the distance, on every side,
give the whole scene most magnificent
appearance. Very few white men have
ever visited these Falls, bur the time will
come when they will become objects of
curiosity, and thousands will find their
way to them.

DIFFICULTY ANTICIPATED The tract
of land upon which the State Prison is
located, it will be remembered, was pur-
chased by the State from Benz. R. Buck
Glow, and is a part Of what is known as
Cooper's Grant. The entire grant was
purchased by BuckeIow, of the heirs of
Cooper. We learn the grant is to be
strenuously contested, on the grounds that
none of the conditions it contains have
been complied with Parties who fancy
they know what they are about, have
squatted all over it, even under the very
walls of the State Prison. Should the
grant be declared invalid, of course the
State will be a severe loser. S. L. NeaUS.

Later from MaZatlan-Prepa
tiOnS to attack the Filibussters.

b. w. Bours, Esq of the city OF Stock
ton, has favored the San Joaquin Repub-
lican with the following extract from a
letter he has Just received from Mazatlan.
1t contains later information than has
been received at San Francisco. The
letter was put on board the John l..
Stephens, at Acapulco:
"MAzATLAN, Nov. "a, 1858.
81 wrote you long letter yesterday,
per Visurgis, which vessel was to have
sailed this day for San Francisco, but the
Captain of the port has detained her on
account of the expedition against the
Filhusters not having sailed from here.
They carry two hundred and fifty regular
troops, and expect to take them by sur
prize. SO far as heard from, the INVASION
has been a complete failure, not having
ventured, as yet, beyond La Paz and San
Jose. In Guaymas they are making great
preparations to receive the invaders, and
the feeling of hatred toward them Is uni
versa and no quarter will be given them.
Mr.. Robinson feels very sore about Capt.
Shows conduct. The bark Caroline is
lost, of course, and he has been fined
$4,000 for abuse of the flag. His loss
will amount to sos 200. hope the Vi
surgis wi arrive first, and then you will
have all the particulars. This goes per
steamer Virago, via Acapulco"
1t is to he feared that the Anita will ar
rive too late to save Walkers Expedi-
tisn. The news is important, and it is
from the hest authority, and shows de-
termination on the part of the Mexicans
generally to resist invasion.

DISEASE AMONG CATTLE.-A large num-
Der of cattle belonging to the ranches
along the Sacramento river, and we pre-
sumo it has also been the case throughout
the entire valley, died suddenly during
the past fall and summer, when they
seemed in the best condition. Animals
which have been here since 49, as well as
others, that have been in good heaIt and
working condition for one or more years,
have fallen beneath the disease in larger
numbers than those which have been less
spright'y. For few days, or sometimes
weeks, before death, they have generally
appeared puffed up and feshy, although
no difference in their feeding, watering or
usual habits have been observable. In
those that have been opened nothing un-
usual has been perceived, so far as we
are aware, except that the spleen Of few
seemed much enlarged. Can any ZooIo-
glst ascertain the disease and prescribe "a
