SrANIsLAus CouNrY.-We publish,
today, the act for the creation Of this
new County. The county i from 20
to 80 miles vide, and some 20 miles in
length, and contains population Of =
bout 1900. The eastern line cuts the
county Of Tuolumne in half, the north
east corner being at Knights ferry, and
the southeast some ten miles distant
from the Mcrced, in a line with Wa
ters' ranch. The district is strictly ag-
ricultural, the land rich and well wood
ed, and in a few years, will, in all pro-
liability be dcnsely populated.
The county Of Stanislaus viii assume
a proportionate share Of the debt Of
Tuolumne county, and the act empow-
ers the county Judge, when elected, to
appoint two commissioners who will
meet two representing Tuolumne coun-
ty, for the purpose Of settling what the
proportion Of the public debt shall be.
The election for officers will come Of
on the 10th of June.

10 The arrival of Col. Fremont
(says the Transcript by the Stockton
boat, on the night of the 18th, has re.
lieved the anxiety which was experienc.
ed on account of the long period tha,
elapsed since that gentleman and his
party were heard from through Col
Babbitt. Col. Fremont left his compan.
ions encamped near Stockton, which
point they had reached in safety and
good health, having lost but one of their
number during the long and arduous
trip. It seems that the account of tbe
suffering endured by the party, has been
much exaggerated. The person who
perished by the way, hadlageed behind
and resting in the snow, was found dead
by those who went back in search d
him. The party crossed the Sierra Ne.
vada near the head Of the Mcrced river
encountering but little snow at the Pass
The route travelled Is reported g favor

The PACIFIC RAILROAD B1LL.-In
the United States Senate the special
committee have reported bill provid-
ing for the construction Of . railroad
from the Mississippi river to the Pacific
Ocean. The committee proposes to
grant to the contractors every alternate
section Of land twenty miles on each
side Of the road, and to pay six hundred
dollars per mile for carrying the mails
for thirty years.
A Washington letter writer says the
bill of the select committee of the House
proposes two Pacific railroads and tele-
graph lines. One commencing from
the Mississippi at point not north of
the 37th parallel Of north latitude, to
San Francisco, and the other from some
point on the westerly shore of Lake Su-
perior or Mississippi river in Minnesota
to the Pacific.

SERVED THIN RIGHT.

On the assembling Of the Lsgislsture
Yesterday morning, in tho Capitol Al
Sacramento, tract was found upon the
desk Of each member, Of an abolition
tendency, which had been issued by the
esSociety of Friends" in London, il
ls49.
During the day Mr.. McBrsyer intro.
duced the following preamble and reso.
lutions, which after considerable discus.
sion, were finally passed by handsome
majority:-Eremimg Nescs.
Whereas, An Abolition document
purporting to come from the Society o.
Friends in London, has been laid upor
the desk of each member of this body
And sohereas, Such documents, under
cover of religious teachings, advises
treason, immortality, and general dis
obedience of the laws Of this Union
therefore be it
Resolred, That the pages and porterl
be directed to gather up said documents
and, in imitation of the Indian buria
service, make s'Funeral Pyre' Of the
same.
And be it further Resolred, That the
Society Of Friends in London be re-
quested, in the sore name Of humanity,
to attend to the interest of the "White
Slaves" of England and Ireland, and be
kind enough to allow the people of the
United States to look after and attend
to the affairs and condition of the poor
African within their own borders.

DEATH OF Mr.. JAMES MrLLs.-By
the arrival Of the last mail, the painful
intelligence was received, of the de-
cease Of our late esteemed townsman
JAMES Mills. He was stricken by an
attack Of paralysis at Sing Sing, New
York, on the morning of the 18th
March last, and died at 5 o'clock, P. NJ.
Of the same day, in the 37th year of his
age. Mr.. Mills was the senior membe,
Of the firm Of James Mills & Co., IN
this town, and was well known and re-
spected, by all our citizens, and leaves
a large circle of warm friends and &C
quaintances, who viii regret that they
will never again have the pleasure Of
welcoming to Columbia, the warm friend,
the honest man, and honored citizen, who
has been thus suddenly removed from a
field Of usefulness and honor, to reap
his reward in brighter world above.

LAST OF THE FlLIBysrERs.-The
Filibusters, (says the Daily California
Courier } have finally ended their cam
paign in Lower California. Walker and
his remaining companions have started
for Northern Sonora where they expect
to settle or to make their way to Texas.
1t would, perhaps, be impolitic to return
to California, although we believe that
should they come back here and agree
to abandon thicr Quixotic operations
they would not be severely dealt with.
They have suffered enough to cure
them effectually Of fillibustering. It is
not likely however that they will return
to California. Many will remain in So
nora, while others will make their way
to Texas, or settle in the interior of this
State.

THIEvEs.-The store of Pesho &
Co., on jackson street, was broken in
to, on Tuesday night last, while the
proprietors were at supper, and abou,
600 in dust and coin distracted. The
robbers were soon after arrested in bed
by officer Conner, at the lodging rooms
of Capt. Raspel, corner of Broadway
and State street, and $64s of the money
found upon their persons. They were
taken to the Court room, and on We'd.
nesday morning, were examined before
Judge Carly. They were found guilty,
and being unable to give bail, in the
sum of $4,000 each, they were removed
to the county prison, in Sonora. The
names they gave to the officer, were Day
and Frank Brown. There was consid.
cradle excitement among our citizens a,
the trial, and some were desirous thai
the rascals should be punished on the
spot.
We understand that a number of pet
ty thiefts have been committed in town
lately. We hope that our citizens will
be on the lookout, as there are many
more suspicious looking characters in
about, whose fingers are probably already
itching for booty. San Francisco and
Mariposa are getting to be too hot ia
hold such gentlemen, about this time,
and we may expect few more of these
distinguished visitors.

FROM THE STATES.

The Golden Gate arrived At San
Francisco, on the l4th inst. She brings
goo passengers. Great excitement pre-
walls throughout the States, owing to
the seizure Of the steamer Black War
rior, by the authorities at Havana, for
an alleged violation Of the regulations
Of the port. On the news reaching
Washington the President, issued sort
of war message, in which he intimates
that Spain must make full atonement
for present and past injuries, or resign
herself to the loss Of Cuba. A special
messengar was dispatched, in the steam
er Arctic, with dispatches for minister
Soule, in which, it is understood, that
he is instructed to preemptorily demand
immediate satisfaction from the Spanish
Government, for the outrage upon the
Black Warrior, at Havana.
The steamer Princeton is ordered to
be made ready for sea, and it is expect
ed that she will be sent to demand the
release Of the Black Warrior.
The Gadsdsn treaty is likely to be
amended to take as its boundary line
the 3lst parallel of latitude, and follow
it direct to the Gulf Of California, Sc
curing US post 80 miles Of coast on
the Gulf.
Mrs Susan Bigler, mother Of Cover
nor Bigler, died at her residence in
Mercer county, Pa. March 10th, aged
70 years.
Nothing Of special Importance has
transpired in the East, since last advic-
es. England and France were still
making active preparations for war, and
were sending on troops and war vessels
with unabated energy. In Ill proba-
bility tho tide Of blood will soon COM
mence to flow.

"TALL WALKING. The Paris cor.
respondent Of tho New York Times de-
scribes two remarkable experiments in
@rostation, which, he gives assurance,
we're actually performed. A man en-.
veloped in net work containing . large
number of bladders filed with hydrogen
gas, ran, one day, down the Champs
Elysees, at the rate of 35 miles an hour,
His leaps were enormous; the ascension.
al power Of the gas Was not sufficient tc
carry him up, but it neu,falized three.
fourths Of his weight. He subsequently
renewed the experiment with q little
more gas. He made 40 miles an hour
and said with . favorable wind he could
easily make As, and beat any loeomo.
tive without fatigue. The Tines cor.
respondent adds:
With the tremendous muscular DOW.
er possessed by man, it is evident that il
he could in any way lengthen his logs,
as this invention in reality does, be
would realize the fable Of 1Leagued
Boots. Caulder, the most agile clown
Of the CIRCUS, who WAS present, agreed
soon, with similar apparatus, to jump
over the Seine. I understand that q
dozen machines with improvements are
now in course of fabrication, and that
the idea Of annihilating space has seized
upon more than one adventurous brain.
AS to the aeronauts, they all acknowl-
edge that they might as well burn their
balloons.

AN AFFRAY BETWEEN TWO
SENATORS.

An afray occurred in the Senate
Chamber, on Wednesday afternoon,
says the Sacramento Union of yester-
day, between Messrs. Leake of Calaver.
as and Colby of Sacramento county
During debate on extending the time
for the reclamation Of fugitives under
the existing law, it was asserted by one
of the Senators that the bill had been
decided constitutional and proper one
by the Supreme Court of the State
Mr.. Colby was understood to say that
the decisions Of the Supreme Court
could not, or ought not, to prevent Sen
ators from entertaining such views on
the subject as they thought proper
Mr.. Leake replied, in effect, that the
gentleman from Sacramento set himself
up above the decisions Of the Supreme
Court, and intimated that he belonged
to the Shigher law order Of politicians,
who refused to recognize the Constitu-
ton of the United States a. of binding
effect.
Mr.. CoLBr.-If the Senator from
Calaveras says that I set myself up a.
gainst the Supreme Court, it is false
l did not say set my opinion up a.
gainst the Supreme Court.
Mr.. LEAkE.-I desire to know wheth-
er the Senator from Sacramento intends
to charge me with falsehood? 1 under
stand him to say as much.
Mr.. CoLBr.-I say, if the Senator
says that l said I set my opinions up a.
gainst the Supreme Court, it is false,
and | am responsible for what I say.
Mr.. LEAKE.-If the Senator says he
did not say 80, he tells an unmitigated
falsehoed.
Soon after the Senate adjourned, Mr..
Leake obtained possession of heavy
cane belonging to Mr.. Hook, and ad-
vancing upon Mr.. Colby struck him
several blows with it over the head
The parties then clinched, and in the
struggle Mr.. Leake went under. Be-
fore the combatants were enabled to
proceed further in the affray, they were
separated by mutual friends. Mr.. Col
by obtained scratch or two on the face.
Mr.. Leake was sprained slightly in the
ankle. These are the particulars of
the difficulty as well as we could pro-
cure them from spectators to the scene,
not having been present to witness them
ourselves.

The newspapers have a story that
Senator Gwin, by means of his wife,
who was formerly Mrs. Logan, has come
into possession Of nearly 100000 acres
of land in Texas. On the death of her
husband Mrs. Logan should have inher-
tied the property, but was cheated out
OF it, and commenced suit for its re-
covery, which suit was, for some reason
abandoned; but recently DR. Gwin has
received letter from Texas, informing
him that, BY decision of the supreme
court Of that state, Mrs. G's title to the
land is clearly established. The most
curious portion of the story is, that the
letter, though anonymous, turns out to
have been written by Richard P. Rob-
inson, of Helen Jewett memory, whom
Dr.. G.. befriended when an outcast, and
Robinson's wife has also reason to be
grateful for former kindnesses rendered
to her by Mrs. Gwin.

The Evening Mirror says gravely,
with regard to the baby shows advertis-
ed in various parts of the country:
The subject is worthy Of serious and
philosophical consideration. IF one hall
the pains was taken to improve the hu-
man race that there is to improve the
breed Of sheep, the blood of horses. and
the size Of pumpkins, we would have
some hope for the ssperfectability Of
mankind. But 30 long as physical and
moral deformity and disease are licens-
ca to perpetuate to themselves, the
breed Of ill-shsped sinners will continue
to multiply SO rapidly as to postpone the
man hope.

TUESDAY, MARCH %, 1854.
IN SENATE.

Mr. BRODHEAD stated that during the last Congress
seec committee had been appointed on the subject OF
the Board of Commissioners for the settlement of claims
under the Mexican committee of which Mr. SoULE
pointed chairman by the Senate, and to which commit
tee referred the memorials relating to that
subject. Mr.. SouLR appointed to mission abroad
before the report made although he deemed Improper
to state that the basis Of had been agreed upon lie
desired submit that report to the Senate and ask
that it be printed. Although the document might appear
somewhat formidable in manuscript 1t would not, when
printed, form large book.
Mr.. BAYARD defended the committee from any negli-
gence that might attach to it from the long delay
preparing the report and excused Mr. SouLE Tor not
having prepared the ground that he must have been
waiting for the decision of the criminal court before which
the investigation into the Gardiner claim was pending
and which might be prudiced by any parte statement
on the part of Government. Such he presumed must
have been the that prevented him from making
report accordance with the determination Of the COM
mittee. Although such was abundanty sulcIen
Gift existed in his mind still placed the committee in
the awkward predcament its return at the
