FROM CALIFORNIA.

The recent advices from California are
interesting. We subjoin few items:
The mines are at this time yielding i'm
mensely. Anything like faithful chroni-
Gle of the discoveries and rich strikes made
almost every day. would fill small volume.
Table Mountain, in Tuolumne county, still
continues marvel for its richness, and vast
sums of the precious metal are daily ex-
tracted from it. The whole mountain is
pierced with tunnels, and it will soon be-
come like honey comb for miles in sue
cession. To purchase claim to one hun
dred feet of this mountain, or a like space
on many of the flats adjacent to it, would
REQUIRE fortune. A curious article of real
soap has also been discovered in Table
mountain, which closely resembles CASTLE
soap, and moreover, answers an excellent
purpose for washing. Specimens have been
exhibited all over the State and it is
fixed fact that mountain of soap exists in
California.
Extensive coal mines have been discovered
near Stockton.
Rich lead mines have been discovered
near hearn river.
Sacramento city is now lighted up with
gas.
The Indian war now raging in Washing
ton and Oregon territories still continues.
The Indian organization is represented as
being complete, and they seem determined
to make it a war of determination.
During the past eleven months, over
S2O,OOO,OO0 worth of gold has been coined
at the United States Branch Mint, princi-
pally in s20 pieces.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 81.
A riot occurred at Leavenworth on the
18th, between the Pro and Anti-Slavery
parties. The ballot boxes were destroyed
and the voting stopped. An Anti-Slavery
mans house was burnt, and the incendiary
having been arrested and lodged in JAIL the
Jail was broken open and the prisoner res
cEed. Great excitement prevails along the
frontier. Another account says that the
border Missorians would not allow the
polls to be opened in several places, and
that the ballot boxes were destroyed, and
the judges maltreated.

THE NICARAGUA MINISTER RE
TErTED

Parker H. French, having written to Sec
retary Marcy, informing him of his appoint
ment as Minister from Nicaragua to the
United States, and requesting personal
interview before presenting his credentials,
has received the following reply:
Sir:-Your letter to me of the 10Th in
slant, with the enclosed copy of san auto
graph letter from the President of Nicaragua
to the President of the United States of
America" mas been received and laid before
the President. l am directed by him to re-
ply to your communication, that he has not
yet seen reasons for establishing diplomatic
intercourse with the persons who now claim
to exercise the power in the State of Mic
aragua.
Those who were chiefly instrumental in
suspending or overthrowing the former gov
ernment of that State, were not citizens
belonging to it, nor have those citizens or
any considerable part of them, so far as is
now known here, freely expressed their ap-
proval of, or acquiescence in, the present
condition of political affairs in Nicaragua.
Until such shall be the case. the President
does not deem it proper to receive you, or
any one, as Minister to this government
duly appointed by the supreme government
of Nicaragua. l am, sir, your obedient SER
want, w. L. MARCY.

GROWTH OF ABo11T1oN1sM.

No better idea of the rapid growth and
development of the Abolition feeling at
the North can be had than from the follow
ing simple statement OF the National Era,
which we regret to say is alas too true:
Nine years ago we established the Ma
tional Era in Washington, when John Quin-
CIV Adams and Joshua K. tGiddings alone in
the House, not one in the Senate, repre-
sented the principle we advocate. To-day,
these principles are defended by fourteen
Senators, of firm purpose and marked abih-
ty, body strong enough to compel the yeas
and nays upon every important question
and in the House, by body of men con-
stituting the strongest of the three parties
into which it is divided, and destined to de-
ternine its organization.
Politically. our single aim has been
Prohibition of Slavery in all Federal Ter
ritory, and the Redemption of the Federel
Government from the power of the Slave
holding Caste. This is the aim of what are
called the Anti \ Nebraska voters of the
country SO far as Congress is concerned,
tbey have done much in securing in the
House of Representatives plurality. The
pext time they will secure majority.-
Meanwhile, they now are concentrating
their forces so as to take possession of the
Federal Government in the next Presiden-
tial contest.
This is their aim-this is ours. Aud
what we have adhered to 50 long and per-
tinaciously, we shall not now abandon"

THE SPEAKERSHIP.

The letter which we re-publish to-day,
! from the pen of Joshua r. Giddings, as we
find it in his Ohio home organ-the Ashta-
bula Sentinel-explains exactly the platform
of the fusion majority in Congress upon the
question of the speakership. The original
mystery Of the holy zeal of Thurlow Weed,
General Webb and Greeley, in behalf of
Mr.. Banks, is no longer mystery. 1t seems
that the anti-slavery coalition in the caucus
of Saturday preceding the Monday of the
first meeting of this Congress, resolved un-
animously, upon the motion of Mr.. Giddings,
that they would support no candidate for
Speaker unless pledged, among other things,
''to organize the standing committees of the
House, by placing on each majority of the
friends of freedom, who are favorable to
them.''
AS one of the rules of war, this may be
perfectly fair. The Senate have appointed
their committees. from first to last, by plac-
ing on each majority opposed to abolition
ism in all shapes and DISCUSSES. If the ma
jjority of the House, therefore, are with Mr..
Giddings, they have the authority to ap-
point their committees with majority on
each in opposition to Southern slavery in
every shape and form. But we say that this
platform dissipates all doubts concerning
the rebellious conduct of the national wings
and Know Nothings supporting Fuller, and
the scattering candidates for Speaker.
The Giddings resolution, upon which Mr..
Banks is standing, requires:
l. An anti-slavery committee on Foreign
Affairs, pledged against all measures and
resolutions identifying the general govern
ment with the institution of Southern slave
ry.
2. A similar committee on WAYS and
Means, pledged to report against all pro-
posed appropriations in any way defensive
of the rights of property in Southern States.
3. A Judiciary Committee which will rem
der its decisions upon all contested section
al questions against the South, beginning
with the Fugitive Slave law.
4. A Committee on Elections which will
report against Whitfield, and in favor of
Reeder, as the rightfd delegate from Kan
sas, &c, &c.
5. a Committee on the District of Colum-
bia, which, upon petition to that effect,
will report bill to abolish slavery in said
District,

END OF THE WAR IN KANSAS.


that hostilities in Kansas between the Free
State and pro-slavery men have ceased
We find the following in the st. Louis De-
mocrat of the 10Th instant.
We had an interview last evening with
General Shankland, just returned from the
scene of the late difficulties in Kansas, Civ
ing US very interesting information of the
present position of affairs in the territory.
He informs US that the report published in
this city yesterday afternoon of the surren-
der of their arms by the people of Lawrence
is totally incorrect.
The propositions of peace came from
Atchison and Shannon, at a council held in
Lawrence last Friday and Saturday, lat which
treaty of peace was concluded. To the
demand made upon them to obey the laws
and deliver up their arms, the people of
Lawrence responded by protesting their con-
slant willingness to do the former, but fatty
refusing to yield the latter point.
On these terms hostiities were terminal
ed, and the Missouri troops received orders
on Sunday morning to disband. The Mis-
sourians were armed with revolvers and
double -barrelled shos-guns, and were for
the most part mounted. They were en-
camped at Wakarusa, on the road from
Lawrence to Westpcrt, six miles from the
former place, and at Lecompton, on the
Kansas river, ten miles west of Lawrence,
being at no time more than six hundred
strong at Wakarusa, or more than two hun
dred at Lecompton.
The free State men amounted to seven
hundred in Lawrence, all armed with Sharp's
rifles, while two hundred more could easily
have been gathered from the adjoining coun-
try, and were therefore in no fear of the re-
suit had a collision unfortunately arisen.
The disbanding gave rise to general mur-
mers and execrations Of Shannon among
the Missouri troops. Most of them reached
Westport ON Sunday night, having suffered
intensely during the previous night from
terrible storm of rain, SHOW and wind, which
terminated in piercing cold. They lost
many horses, some having been stolen by
the Indians, some having strayed away, and
olAC1S llACI tlI w Col pOAG AAOII
They lost many of their arms, also.
The st. Louis republican of the same
date has the following gdespatches from Boon
Vile:
1.-The Missouri volunteers have disbanded
and returned home in disgust, because Gov.
Shannon would not allow them to burn the
town of Lawrence. The abolitionists sur
rendered the individuals obnoxious to the law
and Gov. Shannon then demanded that they
surrender their arms, but this they refused
to do, and there the matter rests.''
We find in the Glasgow Times, of Thurs
day, the following dispatch, under date of
the 9th, from Lawrence:
The abolitionists surrendered without a
battle-gave up the persons demanded by
the Governor, and placed their arms at his
disposal. Two or three abolitionists were
killed. The war is over No particulars.

FLORIDA LAND AGENCY.

THE undersigned has established an agency
in the town of Alligator, Columbia Coun-
ty, Fla, for the purchase, sale or location of
Land Warrants, the purchase and sale oil lands
generally, improved and unimproved. The
fact now being established that Rail Road
is to be constructed Immediately connecting
the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico, running
through the entire length of the county, East
and West, and in view of the great fertility
of our soil, the unusually fine growth of pine
timber on the land, the healthfuness of the
climate, and the reasonable terms on which
lands can now be obtained, there is perhaps
no section of the Union which affords equal
inducements to the emf grant from the older
States. Having had some experience in farm
ing the different kinds of land and ac-
qulred general knowledge of them through
out the county, and having acquired unusual
facilities for pointing out such as are for sale
either of public or private lands, he feels
very confident Of making it the interest of
all persons wishing inform alton, or who may
have deter mined to settle in Florida to cali
on him.
