couth, SUCH do HilgHt Htiy represent tic
sentiments Of its President pro tenn, John
Gaillard, Senator from South Carolina
on the part Of the House, il was nomi-
mated by HENRY CLAY, the Speak
er, and Representative from Kentucky.
This committee, thus constituted, drawing
its double life from the South, was unani-
nous in favor of the Compromise. A
private letter from Mr.. PINKNEY, written
at the time, and preserved by his distin-
guished biographer, shows that the report
made by the committee came from him!
"The bill for the admission Of Missouri into
the Union (,cithom restriction as to Slavery
may be considered as past. That bill was sent
back again this morning from the House, with
the restriction as 10 Slarery. The Senate voted
to amend il by striking out the restriction, CT
to l5,) and proposed. as another amendment,
what hare all along been the advocate Of, re
sfriction upon the vacant territory 10 the north
and scest, as 10 Slavery Tonight the House
OF Representatives have agreed to both OF these
amendments, in opposition to their former votes,
and this affair is settled Tomorrow we shall
(of course) recede from our amendments as to
Maine, (our object being effected,) and both
States will be admitted. THIS happy result has
been accomplished by the Conference, Of wlich I
,cas a member on the part Of the Senate, and Of
,chich ! proposed the report riich has been
made."
Thus again the Compromise takes its
life from the South. Proposed in the COM
mittee by Mr.. PTNKNEY, il was urged on the
House Of Representatives, with great ear
nestness, by Mr.. Lowndes, Of South Caro-
lima, and Mr.. Mercer, ofVirginia; and here
again is the most persuasive voice of the
South. When passed by Congress, i next
came before the President, James Monroe,
Of Virginia, for his approval, who did not

The WEATHER.-The scarcity of local items
compels us again to recur to that ever prolific
theme, the weather. which has been much cold
er during the week, than at any time previous
the present winter. On Sunday night the snow
commenced falling. and on the following morn
ing the face of Mother Earth was covered up
from sight, just as her pretty daughters are fond
of yelling their faces from the gaze of men and
ever since she has looked as cold as the aforesaid
daughters look when their lovers have been at
tracted by other fair Ophclias. We confess to a
repugnance to the presence OF either hindrance
to the enjoyment of natural beauties. Snow is
"A very pleasant thing when viewed at great
distance, reflecting the bright rays of the sun
from the top of some high mountain, or when
contemplated at distance somewhat less re-
mote, in " brandy smash" or :. sherry cobler"
the thermometer meanwhile marking ITO
Fahrenheit. But when it covers our habitations
as now, six or ten inches deep, with mercury
20 dgs. below freezing point, persons naturally
will indulge in speculations relative to the prob
able salubrity and pleasantness of the climate OF
the mountainous regions Of Tophet. Jack Frost
aud Old Boreas are evidently playing a game OF

At sea hostilities have commenced, and some

News q the FiIlfbusserinx in Lever Cali
feRnia nj Wnshfm gfan.

The reception of the news Of Col. Walkers
fillibustering expedition in Lower California,
has excited no little feeling at Washington. 1t
appears to be viewed by the Government in a
very plain matter Of fact way And the peculiar
ideas of patriotism, under which the fllibusters
are laboring, does.not seem to be appreciated
by the President at all. On the contrary, he has
ordered naval expedition to be sent from San
Francisco to Lower California, for the purpose
of securing the Gulf of California, capturing the
expeditionists, and bringing them to San Fran
cisco for trial.
General Wool was ordered to the command of
the military division having its head quarters at
San Francisco.
A correspondent writing from Washington
on the 18th Dec, says:
1.-THE Government is anxious about Sonora
affairs. 1t telegraphed to N. Y. to-day to detain
the California steamer, but 1t was received too
late. The object was 10 order naval officer to
proceed to Panama and charter steamer, pro-
cure a crew and sail for the Gulf OF California
in search of the schooner having on board the
Sonora Fillibusters-capture the men and carry
them to California for trial."
1t appears that our minister now in the city
of Mexico, was going on swimmingly with his
negotiations for the purchase of Lower Califor-
MIA, Sonora and Chihuahua, when the news of
Col Walkers fillibustering burlesque arrived !;
now Santa Anna makes their removal from Mex
Ican soil condition precedent to any further
negotiations upon the subject. Hence the prompt
action of the War Department. However, Santa
Anna is perfectly satisfied of the good faith of
our government notwithstanding the unlawful
eYDedition of the fllibusterS

Henley, expressnga wish to come to California
for the purpose of teaching school. But she was
poor, as is unhappiIy the with too many

the generosity and gallanrry Of some gentlemen
il San Francisco. who at once responded by fnr=
nishing the necessary means To bring into our
midst the fair teacher of young ideas how to
shoot. We are willing TO bet beaver, that
the aforesaid young lady will never have the
opportunity of teaching anybody's cIildrell-ex-

The SENATORIAL ELEcTloM.-At this distance
from the capital, it is utterly impossible to form
an opinion, with any degree of certainty, rela-
tive to the probability of an election for Senator
taking place the present session. The Bene-
cia correspondents and other writers differ so
widely in their expressed opinions, as to leave
the whole matter in doubt. We have confidence,
however, that the mountain members will prove
unpurchasabe Indeed the Senator from Butte
has already proved SO. That gentleman has
made the statement that prominent merchant
of San Francisco had informed him, g that five
thousand dollars should be counted down to
him Oh condition that he voted to bring on the
Senatorial election this session; and further
more, should use every effort to induce another
member of the Senate from one of the northern
districts, to vote in the same way" We are per.
suaded that the election will not take place this
winter, unless a sufficient amount of members
prove pnrchasable, and which it is safe to say
they will not
