News from Lower California.

on the Goth December. with go men
under the command of Col. Watkins
The next day after the arrival of this
Santa Tomas, and took the place without
even fight; MillendreZ and NeGrete had
fled, but the property belonging to them
at Lagrulla was taken and appropriated
for the use of the expedition. This was
principally horses and cattle, and are all
secured in the valley of the Ensennda.
The property of Millendrez had been
declared contiscated hy the Mexican gov
ernnlent, he being outlawed by IA deere :
of the Military Comlnandant. The new
government ha therefore taken posses
sion oft, in right of the old.
We notice that Negrete has since ar
rived in san Francisco.
1t one of the skirm>hes which Walkers
party had, Lieut.. M'Kihben was killed g,
aud Captain Gilman badly wounded
Private Mccormick was killed at LagruI-
la, being alone when surprised and sur
rounded by the enemy.
The cltizanS appear 70 be reconcl ed TO
the "new order of things" and even have
offered to furnish provisions to the "flli-
busters"
The inhabitants are free in their inter
course with the officers and soldiers of
the command, and all express willing
ness to unite with the liherators in sus-
tanning the new Government.
Hereafter mails will be sent weekly to
San Diego.
From Mexico, we learn that force of
500 Mexican soIdiery was started from
Mazatlan, for Lower California, AZ d that
400 more troops will soon leave that point
for the same destination But it is hardly
probable that they will he able to do much
with Walker and his party.

should infer that you were not acquainted

The citzrns Of this place have selected
"Ground SIuce" for their Advocate Gen.
in all matters pertaining to the advance
ment of our interests and particularly
certain mining claims at Dead w ood and
Michigan city, and we think Editors
Shou esteem and be proud of such con-
trihutors not only for the honor extended,
but for furnishing ne,cs of an important
character ''for the millions -
And in future If "Ground Suice" is
not treated with more respect than mere

termimed to furnish ham ''press" and he
has resolved TO e>tabIi~h IL newspaper

Said paper will he feariessiv devoted to

Friend H:--Legislation progres
seS slowly; no one fee inclined to enter
into the general business of the session
until the removal question Is disposed oi.
Committees of both Houses have under
consideration the propositions ot the citl
zens of Benicia and Sacramento; the com
mittees are both mired, and will present
reports both for and against removal.
The question viii come up in the Assem-
bly, on tomorrow, { hursdtyO and be
continued from day to day until it is dis
posed Of The friends of removal are
becoming more sanguine Of success every
day, and believe will ultimately succeed.
The accommodations are poor and the
charges extravagant in Benicia.
The standing committees of both
Houses have been announced.
No one here, who is at all conver-
SAINT with the sentiments and feelings
of the members, but admits that there
is an overW helming majority against
the scheme to elect L. ). Senator this
winter; indeed there is hardly ii corporaP-
guard in The Senate in favor of it. This
should be gratifying intelligence to the
Democracy of the mountains, and no
doubt will be hailed as an additional eyi-
dence that few log ro ing polItIcianS IN
San Francisco cannot ride rough .h0d
over the tree Democracy of the mines.
Mr.. Walkup, of your county, introduced
bill into he enate to-day, reducing the
pay of members of the Legislature TO eight
dollars per diem, and mileage to 90 cents
per mile. The bill passed to a second
reading, and was referred to the judiciary
committee. This bill, if it passes will
save to the State some seventy thousand
