EXfravagassce ia Casiforni:..

The following is an extract from u Cali
fornia letter dated Jan. s, 1855. Il seems
they keep up rather prodigal notions for
hard times:
There is more distress here than one on
your SIDE would imagine. Al The same
time there is more extravaganza than
with you, if possible. The fashion OF New
Years day is being carried out here. This
year far exceeded any previous one, in the
costliness OF the entertainments and ladies'
dress s--tLc former costing in some instan-
ccs $500, and the latter $500 to $500
Most of these people who spend so much
are mechanics wives, and the way they
dress is caution to the mems pockets
Laces from SIS to $500 the set. Any
quantity OF dresses can be seen daily on
Montgomery street at 500, 200 and 500.
Nobody wears {, calico here, not even ser
want girls, who sport their $40 to SIS hand
kerchiefs. Nowhere is money in some
cases so easily made and SO foolishly spent
as in this very San Francisco"

CONGRESSIONAL.


In the Senate on the 10th inst, Gen.
WusoS, Senator elect from Massachusetts
appeared, was qualified, and took his seat.
A communication from the Secretary of
the Treasury was received, relating to the
value of certain foreign coins.
The bill for the improvement of the
Lake, appropriating 100000 each, for
lakes Superior, Ontario, Erie and Michigan,
and 100000 for Lakes Huron and Saint
Clair, together, and s125,O for Lake
Champlain. Mr.. SEWARD submitted an
amendment to the bill, including all the
items vetoed in the last bill. 1t was then
recommitted to the Committee on Com
MERGE, who were to report specific appro
priations.
A bill was received from the House of
Representatives, dividing the S ate Of ILL.,
nois into two judicial districts, which was
passed.
In the House, the bill for the relief of

tend their patent, was rejected.

OF the people must be crushed. He felt
proud in returning to his constituents in the
consciousness of having done all he honest
ly believed he could do to protect their
rights, and he felt prouder in standing alone
with his friend VAN ErrEN, than he would
do did he vote with the majority in opposi.
ton to what he believed to be right: and
he ventured the prediction that of the ma
jority in the Council, next fall it NAV
truly be said: It is a melancholy spectacle
to look down into the graveyards of po-
lltlcal traitors, and see inscribed upon their
tombstones, these men died for the want Of
honest principle-these men betrayed the
confidence of friends, and are unworthy OF
confidence. - ---s- 80 B ------ai-'t1
In conclusion, Mr. O. said: Mr.. Presi-
dent, my every vote, this session, and last,
has been cast against the Minnesota and
Northwestern Railroad Company. I feel
proud of it, and if every other citizen of the
Territory were to advocate it, then would
he throw his arms around the pillars Of
right, and if perish he must, he would per-
ish contending for what he believed the best
interests Of the Territory. ~ --
Sundry amendments for the protection
Of the Territory were offered by Mr.. VAN
ErrEy, and promptly voted down by the
majority. These amendments and Mr.. VAN
ErrEN's remarks thereon, We shall give

Russian and Ere nch Soldiers.

A lively writer from Paris draws par
allel between the soldiers of different nations
in the Crimea, and first says of the Rus
slams
The valor displayed by the Russians in the
night attacks upon the allies has never yet
been surpassed by the soldiers of any other ma.
ton or people whatever. The Russian soldier
lacks strategy and quickness of movement,
but he possesses courage almost without par
allel, remarkable strength of body and great
resistance TO the eXhausting effects of wounds.
1t has been a common remark from the days
of Napoleon to the present moment, that the
Russian soldiers are the most difficult in the
world to put hors de combat-Alarshal Ney
sad:-"It will not suffice to shoot Russian
soldier; he must be pushed over" Remarka-
BILE instances of the power Of resistance to the
loss OF blood and to the first impressions of a
wound, have been exhibited since the COM
mencement OF the camp align in the Crimea
and 1t Is no doubt due to the rude life to
which the Russian soldier is subjected, not
only as soldier, but as peasant.
Next he says of the Frenchmen
While eating is no part of soldiers life in
the Russian camp, in the French camp it is
quite the contrary. A Frenchman must have
his breakfast before he fights, and he will cook
and eat it in the midst of bursting bombs ra
Their than miss it for between the fear of los
ing his breakfast and his life there is about an
even balance. On the morning of the battle
of Inkerman, $500 Englishmen were compel
led to stand the shock of $4,000 Russians fol-
hours, before the French division arrived
the latter having stopped to eat their break
fast before starting out to the aid of their
suffering allies. They fought beautifully, as
they always do, when they did arrive, but in
the meantime there had been fearful slaugh.
ter of Englishmen, which otherwise might have
been saved This is one of the facts which
do not appear in print, for the good of the al
lance, but it is nevertheless true.
