The IntelHgencer presents its readers
with paper from Mr.. Reverdy john
son, endorsing Mr.. Cayton's construc-
ton of the Clayton and Bulwer
Treaty, as against that of General
Cass. Mr.. johnson, it will be recol-
lected, was the law officer of the General
Administration when Mr.. Clayton made
that treaty. This paper is marked by
the vigor of intellect and perspicacity for
which Mr.. Reverdy Johnson has so high
a reputation. s..r
The Union, improving the opportunity
of Mr.. Cuttings movement of yesterday,
reiterates, formally, that the responsible
ty for the removal of Bronson rests
wholly on the Presidents shoulders.
The same paper states what changes
Governor johnson, of Tennessee, recon-
mends in the federal constitution; and re-
marks, that though most of the States
have adopted them with profit in remod-
cling their constitutions, yet grave ques-
tions arise in considering whether it
would be prudent to essay in any man.
ner to disturb the Constitution of the
United States. The Union further assev-
crates, that all the factions of the oppo-
sition, those claiming identity with the
Democratic party included, will gladly
unite on either of the distinguished and
popular Wings already spoken of as the
Wing candidate in the next presidential
election; and congratulates its readers,
that Mr.. John Mitchell, having already
discovered his error committed at the
Broadway Theatre dinner, in a very re-
cent lecture delivered in Boston, so ex-
pressed himself upon the duties of foreign
ers in America, as in great part to oblit-
crate the prejudices against him which
the theatre speech had generated.
The Sentinel moralizes over the tests of
democracy, asserting quite number of
trueisms.
The Sentinel also gives Mr.. Chamber
lain, of Indiana, modicum of its indie
pendent support to-day, charging that
he once favored the Wilmot proviso.
The Sentinel further re-publishes the
last very bitter and sweeping attack upon
the Administration, appearing in the Rich
mond Examiner, wherein the Demo-
cratic party, their policy and leading
men are denounced in more unmeasured
terms than by any Wing press in the
Union, and the party of Law, Crosswell
and Co., are put forward as patterns Of
virtue and patriotism. Tomorrow, the
Sentinel will probably again asseverate
that it is supporter Of the Admins
tration."

particularly needs, the presence Of families--of
ladies' society, and a rising generation that
shall regard California as home. The infiu-
ence of these high rates must be disastrous to
the best interests Of the State, for many rea-
sons. We have vast tracts Of valuable uroc-
cuped agricultural lands-miles Of unexplored
mineral wealth-water courses, rail and plank
roads to be constructed-towns to be built up
and occupied, avenues for business of every
kind to open, that need but to be filled to give
prosperity to the worker, and progress to the
State. We need emigration to fill up the wide
area of our territory, increase our political i'm
portance, and continue its unexampled growth
That vast tide of intelligent humanity that has
rolled in on California, fertilizing wherever il
has spread till rich harvest of prosperity
has waved over the land, should not be dried
up while so much yet remains to be developed
We regret the high rate the companies have
set upon travelling because it must stay mucl
of this emigration, and retard the growth o
the state. The owners have of course a lega
right to fix their own prices--but if they con
suit moderation it is no worse for themselves
and far better for the State

Steamer Prices.

We learn by papers from below that al
.rrancement has been made between the Nj
caragua Co. and the Pacific Mail S. s. Co.
bv which weekly communication with New
York is to be effected, and by which, for on(
year. the prices of both lines will be uniform
and fixed. The arrangement takes place i'm
mediatelr, and the rates for both lines nre as
follows:
FIRST CAB1N-Through tickets -. $500
SECOND CABIN--Througd ticketS... 250
SrEERAGE- Through tickets ....... $50
Including the Isthmus Transit by both routes.
SPECIE FREIGHr-2 per cent, no insurance
The rates are high, too high, but the COM
panics have the power, and have used it. The
fluctuations Of late in the prices OF passage
have undoubtedly worked loss to the steamship
companies, as they have vexation to passengers
4 fixed rate is much needed-but fixed rate OF
q lower denomination than the one charged
would pay better than the fluctuating ones that
have prevailed for the past year The rates
are now SO high that they must act as pro-
hibition on travelling, and if we mistake not
will react on the companies. The amount Of
travel will be so greatly reduced that full COM
pliments of passengers cannot be obtained, and
some Of the less popular boats must run empty
The great majority of travellers cannot afford
to nav such prices. Take for instance man
who has lived in this State for several years
with his family in the States made himself a
new home. with moderate expectations. He
wishes to go for his family. TO get home will
cost him, to go at all decently, $3.50 per stea-
mer. and $3.50 way expenses. Suppose he has
a wife and several children. To get back with
them he must pay out at least Slzoo more
thus besides the loss of time and business, pay
ing out of his pocket $1,000, at a moderate
calculation. Such prices are beyond the means
of the great mass. Men prefer to stay a year
or two longer, and then go home not to return.
Thus we lose good citizens, and what our State

G. w. HALL.-This case, in which Hall

G. w. HALL.-This case, in which Hall
was tried and convicted of the murder of
a Chinaman on Bear River in August,
1853, has finally been adjudlcated by the
supreme court. A telegraphic dispatch to
DR.. Patterson, kindly furnished US, gives
the information that the judgment in the
case is reversed, and the cause remanded.
The supreme court also decides that Chi
nese cannot testify against white man.
Thus after being in Jail over a year, since
his trial, waiting for the action of the SUI
preme court,at an expense OF thousands OF
dollars to the county, Hall is virtually set at
liberty. One of the principal white wit
nesses is dead; another cannot be found,
and the testimony of Chinese is ruled from
the case. MIR. Fletcher, the District At.
torney, informs us that noue prosequs
will probably be entered in the case. Hall
has had a severe lesson, and we trust il
will be profitable one to him. He is
suddenly raised as if to life again, and
has opportunity to wipe out by life Of
good conduct, the single yet deep stain Of
his former one.

STEAMBOAT Explosion -.Sercnicsn Lees
LOst.-A horrible explosion took place on
board the Timour No 2, on the Missouri river
on the I'd September, By which from seventeen
to twenty persons were killed. The st. Louis
Republican says -
The steamer under the command Of Capt. Dix
left St. Louis for Brunswick, and arrived at
wood yard three miles below Jefferson City on
Saturday morning, took on board some wood,
and at twenty minutes past 10 o'clock, while
rounding out from the wood yard, all three (as,
is supposed of her boilers exploded, tearing
the boat literally into fragments from the
iackstaf to the wheel house. and Instantly kill
ing seventeen to twenty of the firemen, deck
hands and passengers, besides injuring Mr..
Charles Dix, the pilot at the wheel, who died
from his wounds the same day There were no
passengers on board at the time except six or
eight, who were all instantly killed and whose
names arc unknown. The names of the hands
on the boat are also unknown, as all the books
papers, money, &C., were lost.
Mr.. Charles Eckler the clerk md one oftle
owners of the boat, had his wife, five children
and negro girl on board at the time, who
were in the ladies' cabin when the accident oc-
Cured, two of the children were scalded by the
steam, one, it is feared, will not recover.

The San Francisco Evening Journal
says The city was thrown into an unu-
sual state of excitement this morning, by
the announcement that the city's claim
had been confirmed by the Mexican Land
Commissioners. The hearts of many were
made glad by the news, while the hopes of
others were dashed. The claim is con-
frmed to that part of the city extending to
Valleio's line. AS this line is not laid
down on most of the maps, we will state
that it ertends from the Lot No. 306, near
the junction of Fifth and Brannan streets,
in direct line to the junction of the Char
ter line OF 1851 and Tyler streets. Thus
it will be seen that large tract beyond
that line which has been held under the
city's title is not embraced in this decision
as belonging to the city. OF course some
are pleased and some displeased just as
their interest is affected. All are glad
however, to be relieved from suspense.
