Mr.. EDIroE:

Mr.. EDIToE:
Noticing SCI raj distinguished arrivals
Yesterday afternoon and last evening,
mistrusted something unusual was
about to taxi Place, and made myself

that a sanhedrim .f know-Nothiags

Watching some whom I took TO be Ii d.

honorable political principles, saw them
buzzing and circling round the Plaza,
and finally start up the hill, in sqaads of
one two and three ; proud Americans,
going forth TO declare their principles of
freedom openly to all mankind. | saw
them enter the former res dence of Mr..
j. NJ. Burt, on the hill nearly opposite
your Office. My curiosity being excited,
| was disposed to have sight at the
great guyasticutus, il possible, and APP
preached the vicinity Of the building for
that purpose. Hare unfortunately, I
met the ex-Sherf of our county with a
big cudgtl, who informed me that he had
1sst come out Of an out-building, into
which he had probably chased rat,

DIVISION OF THE SrArE.-Mr. Doug
lass, of San Joaquin county. has intro
duoed Into the Assembly, bill which
conternplates the division Of California
into three States, first appropriaiing lib
eral slices from the territories of Utah
and New Mexico. The southernmost
State, which is dubbed the State of Col
Grads, lies south Of line run as follows:
commencing at the pouth of the PajarC
river, running up said river to the sum
nit of the co1st range to the thirty sew
enth degree Of north latitade ; thence
due east to the summit Of the Sierra
Nevada mountains; thence northeast
to the State line.n The middle State
the State Of California, is composed Of
the territory lying north of the above
line, aud south of line described as fol
lows-''commenclng at the mouth Of
VI ron's river, and running due east IL
the eastern boundary Of The State, which
is run bv the fl. st section of the bill
abou; ITO miles east of III pr sent line
The Stat of Shasta is composed ofthe
territory lying north OF The last m n
toned line.
This is one of the first public steps 20,
wards scheme of disunion, III wAich IT
is contemplated to form separate re-
public on tbs. Pacific coast. en- states
are to be formed out of the territory on
the Pacific coast Impeaiments are to
be thrown in the way of the Pacific
Railroad, the national government is
then to be denounced as neglecting the
people Of the Pacific coast, and under
this cry the revolt is to be consumatcd.
This is the main features of the project
as presented by San Francisco cores
pendent Ct the New York Herald. The
terrible organ of Know-Nothism in
Narysville, does not oppose the first step
of the conspiracy, provided those in the
northern and southern portions of Cali.
ifornia are satisfied with their respective
allotments. From the course of the or
gan on this proposition, We infer its order
favors this scheme of conspiracy and d s.
union. And yet they boast that Know
Nothings have ''exhlbited proofs of une-
quivocal devotion to their country" So
had Benedict Arnold, previous to his in
fanny and treachery.

FREMoNT's. MARIrosA CLAGM.-The
Stockton Republican is informed that a
majority of the cit zens of Mariposa
County, are in favor of the confirmation
of Fremont's claim from the fact that
when quartz mining companies can get
title to their claims, a large amount Of
capital will be brought into the county.
The richest quertz VEINS in California are
in Mariposa county.

Dull TIMEs.-Sone of the San Fran
cisco press imagine that it is impossible
for business in California to be more
depressed than it is at present They
complain that their merchants are doing
little, and prop erty of all kind seems to
be declining, and this, too, at period
when miners are doing as well as at any
time for years past. They assume that
supply was carried to the mines last
fall, and, that the supply must be now
nearly exhausted, and that their mer-
oh ants must soon commence a brisk and
thriving business, and property again
rise in value. In our estimation, this
is wrong view of the case. Time was
when all supplies for the interior of the
State had to come through San Francis
CO. Now California is nearly, if not
quite selfsustaiping-that is, she can
produce sufficient for her own consump-
tion-asd these productions being DIFF
fused very generally throughout the
State, the entire trade of the interior is
not carried to San Francisco, as formerly.
Every thing in the shape of supplirs pro-
duced within the State, tends to decrease
the demand for imported productions in
San Francisco If that city would
maintain an active and healthy trade,
her supply must not so largely exceed
the demand, as it evidently does at pres
ent. The day is past, never to return,
for the merchants of San Francisco to
realize fortunes from the sale of musty
flour, diseased potatoes, spoilt ham,
Chill barley, Mexican beans and dishon-
est politicians, because better quality
of all these articles is now produced
within the State, and being of better
quality, will be taken in preference to
the poorer and imported article.
Butte county is capable of producing
sufficient for her own consumption, and
will do so ultimately, if not the present
year nor the next-and yet she ranks
only as the tenth agricultural county Of
the State. OF course those counties de-
voted wholly to agricultural pursuits are
capable of producing much more than is
necessary for their own use, and viii
furnish the State with great proportion
of her necessary supplies. In losing
this traffic in provisions, San Francisco
loses what has hitherto been a large
item in her commerce, and it seems to US
that her merchants would act wisely.
if they should prepare supplies to the
probable demand, instead of buying
largely, paving heavy monthly interest
for money, and waiting for rise. The
produetiyeness of the interior is a great
regulator, and will prevent the recurrence
Of those sudden expansions and fluctua-
tons which have heretofore exerted their
deleterious influence over the State.
The times are not SO very hard IF San
Francisco has more merchants than can
make a living--or has heretofore placed
false value upon her .property-there
is no one to blame but herself Keen,
calculating business men don't get into
such tight places.

Although this event occurred SO short tirlc

ELECTION OF SUPERVISORS

The vote in several places, in the first
district was light, showing that but little
interest was manifested. In Bidwell
and Forbestown, about half the usual
vote was polled. In the second District
considerable interest was manifested,
and very fair vote polled. Morrison
declined running, and NJ: Pence was put
up in his place, and has been elected
over Evans and Dunkem In the third
district, we understand that Mr.. Moore
of Hamilton township, was run in oppo-
sition to Major Bidwell. The following
is the result so far as heard from.
