we trust that no man will weary III the good
work which is going on for Fremont and free

Complimentary TO Mr. Herbert.
A committee from our citizens waited upon
Mr.. P. t. Herbert at the St. Nicholas Hotel yes
terday afternoon, and presented him with Pc
ttion signed by some two thousand of our fell
lox-citizens. The following is the wording of
the petition:
To THE HoN. P. T. HERBERr:-We, the citi-
zens OF California, believing that you have for
ieted your claims and rights as our representa-
tive and that by your course at the national
capital you have deeply injured the fair fame of
the State OF California, both at home and
abroad, woad therefore take this course to
make known our wishes and to respectfully
request of you that you would not again make
California your residence.
California, August %, 1856.
Mr.. Herbert received the petition, observing
that he would require time to consider and
make known his decision The committee then
withdrew
We trust Mr.. Herbert will be inclined to favor
the petition, which, we presume, expresses the
views OF nine-tenths Of the people OF the State.
If that shall be incompatible with his interests
we think he should at least go into that retiracy
where a better and more honorable reputation
can be earned. 4 thorough reform of his ways,
may enable him to gain standing among his
fellow-citizens, which is now forfeited by his
past course oflife.-I California Chronicle.

We have intelligence of very destructive fires
on the prairies in many places in Geatral Hi
nois In Christian county on the 9Th, 1t is sta
ted that family of movers from Indiana, cor
sisiing of three men and one woman, while
crossing the prairie from Buckheart Grove 10
Moweqna, We're overtaken by one of these fires,
ana so badly burned that three of them have
since died, and the fourth is not expected 10
live The wagon and all of their clothing, &c,
were entirely consumed. 1t is supposed that
the men were drunk and that the woman was
unable TO save herself.
During the past week these fires have con-
sumed great amount OF fencing on the farms
TO the North and East of Springfield. In some
cases considerable quantities of wheat have
been consumed, For several days the atmos
phere in this vicinity has been filled with fog
and smoke, supposed to be occasioned by the
prairie fires.

During the session of the Episcopal Conyen-

peared and TOOK his seat among the Pcnna del
cgates. The house OF Deputies was notified
that the house OF Bishops have created Kansas
and Nebraska into separate Missionary Do
cese, and nominated the Rey'd r. Cook, OF Wa
tertown, Conn, Bishop. A debate ensued, and
IN ch opposition was manifested to the erection
OF the Diocese, as it deprived Bishop Kempcr of
a portion Of his Missionary field
a resolution was offered declaring it inexpe-
dent at the present time to create the diocese.
The resolution was negatived. Judge Cham
bers of Nd. submitted another resolution de.
claring it expedient to form the diocese. The
movers object apparently was to defeat the
measure as he expressed determination to
vote against his own resolution. A spirited de-
bate ensucd apon the motion pending, when re-
cess was taken iii the evening.
