According to the returns from be-
low, the Republicans have succeeded
in eleeting their Legislative ticket in
San Francisco, and it is therefore
probable that peace will Immediately
ensue in Kanzas. If not, the border
ruffians may expect to catch partlcu-
lar "Jcssieo as soon as the Members
from San Francisco obtain their seats
in the California Legislature. Their
election has been effected by the Wig
lance question. Persons outside Of
the Republican and Know Nothing
rams who sympathised with that in
stitution, were unwilling to believe
that it was but scheme to secure
the success of the opposition. Let
them now look at the result IN San
Francisco and they will be conyinced
of the fact. Well, let them enjoy
their short-lived triumph. Did they
not have something outside of their
party measures, or some excitement
by which to create a furor, they would
not amount toanything in California.
Democrats, whose sympathies for the
Vigilance arrangement have led them
into the Republican camp, should
begin to calculate his chances Of
escape.

THE EASTERN PAPERS are full of accounts
of serious disasters by sea and land Ship
wrecks, railroad accidents, and murders are
about all the readable matter contained in
their columns. We begin to think that bad
rs the state of society is in California; that
life is about as safe and the state of morals
nearly as good here as in the Atlantic
States, croak as their journals may about
our depravity and semi barbarous condition.
Whatever sins California may have commit
ted, and they have been many, Heaven
knows she can yet hold her head high among
her sister States Of the North as being ever
true to the Union as she has fully proved
herself by her Presidential vote Our revi-
lers can never bring the charge of infdelity
to the Union against us, but We fear that
some of them may be led to the commission
of that awful sin. ''Let those who are with
out sin cast the first stone"

John Hunter, the great surgeon died

Hunter probably killed himself by TAX

TAE CARLETON TRACT.-This trset Of
land lying below the town of Orovile as laid
out by Bird & Morris, and adjoining their
land, has been purchased of its original own
ers by Mr.. Farley. and has been laid out in
regular streets and Blocks, corresponding
with those Of the town proper. We had &C.
casion yesterday, to walk over considera-
bic portion of the tract, and were astonished
to see the many improvements made there
on 1t is covered in many places with fine
shade trees, and is fast being occupied by
many of our citizens as place Of residence
apart from the noise and dust and hustle Of
the town. We noticed quite number of
neat and well cons tructed houses finished,
and others in process of erection therca-
bouts, altogether presenting the appearance
of thriving young village. Should we ever
be blessed with Steamboat, as we very
soon may be, if our citizens will bat help
the matter along, property in the Carleton
tract will enhance greatly in its value, as
will that Of the entire neghtorhood.

The last number of the New York
Tribune, contained an electioneering
double-leaded article designed ex-
prcssly for, and addressed to Califor-
mans. 1t mentions two or three
States which have been carried by
the Republicans, and several other
northern States which they were 60
ing to carry in November, with tones
of blood and thunder for the "Path-
finder of California" The article
assures Californians, that the Re-
publicans were voting for citizen of
California, and that the only ques-
ton seemed to be whether we should
be alone Of the free States in voting
against ''free labor, free soil and
Fremont" 1t concludes thus -
"Follow- citizens Of the Golden State!
let us hear your response in Novem-
ber." Hav'nt you heard the news

Na. Since Election, there seems to be
very little diminution in the number of peo-
pie in our streets. They are as usual
thronged night and day with busy, bustling
men. and everything goes on with as much
apparent stir and hustle as during the re-
cent exciting campaign. Our immense pop
aation seems to have become fixture, and
is evidently growing with a steady, healthy
increase.

5aaI5- A DISTINGUISHED Englishman once
remarked in our presence, that "Uncle Sam
will keep on in his gigantic strides until the
entire western Hemisphere shall be his, and
when having reached the extreme end of
Putagonis, will sit himself down and weep
that there are no more lands for him to ac-
quire." How true this prophecy viii prove
remains to be decided, but that Uncle Sam
is gradually spreading HIMSELF is a very
evident fact. The acquisition of California
was one of the first great steps towards
his acquisition of the Spanish Colonies, and
the still later occupancy of Nicaragua by
the Americans under Gen. Walker, looks
very much like another stride, and that it
remains for the Sons of Columbia to redeem
the verdant plains of Mexico, aud of South
America from their present imbecile occu-
pants, is becoming more and more possible
if uot probable every day. 1t is indeed ''a
eonsummation devoutly to be wished"

Mediator Of the Swiss Confederation, &c
