SENATOR GwIN.-We copy the fol-
lowing from the New York Daily Times
of October 31st. We concur in the o.
pinion that few men have been more
abused than DR.. Gwin, and especially
since his return from Washington. His
enemies have been untiring and certain
ly most unscupulous in their efforts to
defame his character and insure his de-
feat. However, we can assure the
friends of Senator Gwin in the Atlantic
States that his reelection to the United
States Senate is fixed fact :-Repub
Letters received here from California
this morning, have filed the friends of
DR.. Gwin with strong hopes of his re-
election to the United States Senate.
Few men have been more abused than
the Doctor; but California has never
yet given her sister States such proof of
hor political sagacity as she will in re-
turning Gwin to the place he has filed
with such signal success nor can she
in any other way evince regardlessness
Of her own interests so pointedly as she
would by attempting to succeed him with
any other-for replace him she cannot.

8@The Sacramento Union says that
on the upward trip of the steamer New
World, on Saturday night, she met with
an accident which veil nigh proved IA
tai. About l O'Clock, A. NJ, in q
dense fog, she struck . snag on the
south side of the river, about fifty feet
off the shore. The shock was appar-
emily so slight that many Of the passen-
gers on the stern of the beat we're not
aware of any accident until the alarm
was sounded, and those occupying
berths aft were not awakened. The
breach made by the snag is abont ten
feet long by four or Eve inches vide.
No timbers are broken, and only the
planks are ripped up. The officers of the
Neso World diligently exerted them
selves to free the boat Of water and
warp her off, but without success. She,
however, is little injured, and as a dis
patch has been sent to San Francisco
tor steam pumps, it is confidently antic-
ipated that she will be gotten off with
little damage.
