CALIFoRNrA.l4heha hate Intelligence from
California is more than usually interesting.
The George Ldw and PromRbsus brought
nearly two millions in gold Fhe miners
in most places, are doing WELL and several
new digyings have been discovered How
ever, the most interesting news concerns
the politicspf the State, TIE Wig Cor
~yeniien was harmonious, and placed IN
nomination. for Congress Calhoun BepEam,
of Sun francisco, aud CIV, Bowie, OF
Colusa. The resolutions are strong and
ardent, and hopes are entertained that the
ticket will be successful.
The Democrats were less fortunate. In
California, as in other places, the party is
divided. Aport;on were in favor of the
election of the present Congressional in
cumbeDts, and the balance preferred 9th
ers. At the commencement of their deiib-
erstious, they were in trouble. In fact
two Conventions, with two sets Of officers,
COMMITTEES, &C., were held in the same
place. This was in a Church at Sacfa
neato, and SO noisy, and d~iagraceful were
the proceedings that the Trustees of the
Church were compelled to- order them to
~vacate, the premises This they did, and
adjourned c different places. The Difficult
ty originally grew out of the question D.
the election of a United States Senator, one
party desiring this at the lastasossion of the
Legislature, and the other preferring "a
postponement te the next. The Election
lists nominated for Congress, J. W. Den
ner, of Trinity, andP. 7. Herbert, efMari,
posaas The other faction nominated The
present incumbents, McDougal and Ia
than. 1t is understood, however, tina
neither Of these gentlemen desires an cleo
ton. We have nothing better With which
to compare the uproar aRdekcitement thar
the proceedingso Of the Ohio Revolutionary
Convention. 1t is said that bowie knives
and pistols were exhibited and one shot fir
ed. This, ii is supposed, was accidental
and resulted only n producing ''palcnessss
among several of the delegates, siFh,
scenes were worthy of Tammany Hall ii
its. palmiest days.
II is not ye6 known whether these Diff
calties will continue to distract the party
and thus throw the State into the, hands 0
the Wigs. Such a result however, wosC
be productive of the happiest ccnsequen
ces, as the State government ,hasbeenbad
