RA1s1Ne THE WND.-It is said that the fol-
lowing circular has been addressed to Postmast-
ers by the Buchanan men in Washington
DEAR StR-At private consultation of the
loading Democrats of the Union held in this CT
tv Immediately upon the adjournment of the
Cincinnati Convention, it was recommended
that each Postmaster be requested to contribute
an amount proportonate to the receipts OF their
respective Offices. Upon examining the returns
of the Postofice Department it is found that your
proportion will be three dollars which you will
confer favor by renting by return of mail.
The principle object in making these collec-
tions is to throw into the doubtful States an i'm
mense quantity of speeches and documents in
favor of the policy of the Democratic parry, ana
also to assist in defraying the expenses OF speak
ers that will be employed during the coming
canvass. You will therefore perceive That every
Postmaster aoho uishes for continuance 81 ms
official position will find it for ms interest 10 use
every effort to bring about so desirable result
Postmasters are appealed to because tney
arc considered the representatives OF the
party in their respective localities, anu Delng
the recipient of the patronage OF the Aamlhis-
tration it is but Just that they shouia comply
with its DEMANDS.
Please send lis the name of some rehaoie lead

fer with hereafter. Address.

IMPORTANT FROM CALIFORNIA AND NICARAGUA.
BY way of New Orleans we have San Francis
co dates to the Goth ult. There was no decrease
of the excitement at San Francisco Very few
persons had responded to the Governors pro-
clamation of June 4th. The Vigilance Commit
tee had opened books and were receiving re-
cruits by thousands. The Committee had six
thousand stand of arms and thirty piece of can
non. Their forces divided into ten regiments.
They have line of breast works erected in
front of the Committee room with an alarm
bell on the top of the building. They have also
several piece of cannon stationed on the top OF
the adjacent house to defend their position.
The Governor gathered few hundred men
together and went to Benicia to get arms and
ammunition from the United States Arsenal
General Wool refused to give them to the Gov
ernor's forces and they had encamped near that
city.
Six more rogues have been hanged by the
committee who continue arresting Objectionable
characters.
On the receipt of the Governors proclama-
ton nearly all the towns of the interior held en-
thusiastic meetings endorsing the committee and
formed organizations to assist them in carrying
out their measures.
Crimes and casualties az usual are cilronlcled
in large numbers in the papers.
The political intelligence is of no particular
interest. The reports from the mines are ia
vorable. The same may be said of agricultural
pursuits.
No arrivals are reported from Atlantic ports.
The Indian hostiities still continue in Oregon.
CAPTAIN Smiths command had been attacked
near the Meadows The whites loss was twelve
killed and twenty five wounded. The Indian
loss was considerable. Col. Wright and one
third of his command had been killed by the
Yakima Indians.
The intelligence from Nicaragua is quite i'm
portant Walker was elected President on June
"a Rivas and his Minister of War left Leon
on the 18th, and afterwards appeared at Chinen-
dago and collected six hundred natives. They
/ then called in the outposts and ordered the A
merican troops to evacuate Leon. The order
was obeyed and Rivas took possession of Leon
I with 100 men. President Walker has declared
Rivas and his party traitors. Most of the off
GERS of the former and his cabinet stand by
Walker.
A strong revolution had broken out at Costa
Rica. headed by the party which opposed the
invasion of Nicaragua.

THE REsULT-The reader will find in another
column an article from the Louisville Journal,
containing q cheering but sober calculation of
the result of the Presidential election. We are
gratifed that our own impressions are so strong
" fortified by the careful estimate of paper so
experienced and able. Fillmore, we think, will
most certainly carry the Southern States that
are named BY the Journal, and has encouraging
prospects of carrying several more. We believe
further that he will receive the plurality vote of
enough Northern States to ensure his election by
the people, and thus avoid an election of Pres-
dent by the House of Representatives. Buch-
anan has not the slightest hope Of certainly car
ryng a single Northern State. Pennsylvania is
his best chance but even in that State he will
be beat overwhelmingly. Mark the prediction
the ides of November will verify it. All the
Locofoco Dragging You hear about his prospects
is sheer CANNON. His prospects are infinitely
bluer than the blue Heavens above us. The
People of all sections are for Fillmore and the
Peoples voice is omnipotent-Rich. Whig

LATER FROM EURopE.-The Africa, at New
York, brings Liverpool dates to the 2sth ult.-
American affairs are still the special burthen of
the news. The debate in Parliament on the en-
listment and Central American questions was
still impending. Two letters from Lord Claren-
don to Mr. Dallas on these questions had been
made public. The British minister expresses
his satisfaction that Mr. Dallas has been instructed
to negotiate on the Central American question.
A little incident at the Queens levee had afford
ed the London Times an opportunity to throw
an imputation of discourtesy upon Mr.. Dallas,
but after two days run the story exploded
The excitement was occasioned by friend of
Mr.. Dallas having appeared with him at the
Queens levee in dress not in accordance with
the regulations.
The commercial news is favorable. Cotton
was firm and i'll good demand. Breadstufs had
advanced.

ing Orovifle incorporated. The ne
cessity for it is becoming more pal
pable every day, and the day is not
far distant when it will undoubtedly
be done. 1t will be agitated before
the present legislature, and if posi-
bic, an act Incorporating the town
will be lobbied through the Legisla-
ture and become q law while the mi
ners are at work in their claims and
coyote holes. We are disposed to
think that the miners have Overrated
the danger to be apprehended from
incorporation. It's evident that the
miners arc i'll majority, and would
be as able to control the town coun-
Gil, as they are to prevent the board
OF Supervisors from declaring the
town Incorporated. Should the in
corporation be effected by act of the
legislature, it will be much more bur-
dcnsome and complicated, than if
done under the general law, and as
the miners are sufficiently numerous
to control the affairs of the town
council, and to elect whom they
please, we do not see why they
should so strenuouslyoppOse the incor-
poration of the town. The expense
would not fall upon them, and we
trust they may be induced to recon
slider the motion, and allow the town
to become incorporated.

USE OF CHLoRoroRm IN POISONING Gas.

USE OF CHLoRoFoRM IN POISONING CAS-
Es.-The Rochester Democrat records case
of accidental poisoning from strychinne, in
which chlorosorm was successfully applied
to relieve the terrible spasms of the patient.
The rerscn took four grains of strychlnine
in mistake for another powder, and soon as
the discovery of the mistake was made an
emetic was given. Two large emetics given
in quick succession, failed to produce vomit-
ing The patient was convvlsed with the
seyerest forms of tetanic spasms. His jaws
were firmly locked, and it was impossible to
open his mouth to administer remedies The
approach towards his mouth, caused a re-
currence Of the spasms. Chlorotorm was
applied which relieved the spasms in about
three minutes, and stepped them complete
ly in ten minutes, when third powerful
emetic was given. lfthe chlorotorm apph-
cation was remitted, the spasms instantly
returned in full force; so that it was found
necessary to keep the patient constantly un-
der the influence of the Hnesthetic' In
about ten minutes after the third emetic
was taken, vomiting was produced. The
patient was kept under the influence of
chloroform till the next morning During
the time that the spasmodic action was con-
trolled by the chloroform the system had
opportunity to throw off the poison that had
boen taken up by the absorbents, and when
that was done the patient was out of danger,
He had retained his consciousness during
the whole of the period that he suffered
from the poison.

THE WEATHFR.-From the Indications
displayed by the clouds within the few days
past, the rainy season is evidently near at
hand. "Oh for rain" is the continual earn
est prayer of the miners and farmers and
it is to he hoped their prayer may be speedi-
ly and effectually granted. The parcAed
hills and plains need many wholesome
drenching, to make them resume their ver'
dant coverings. Great numbers of cattle,
horses, and other animals perished last wia-
ter from thirst and starvation, and through
out the mines water was greatly needed.

AN EFFORT was made a short time

AN EFFORT was made a short time
since, to have Oroville incorporated
under the general law for the incor-
porations in California. But the
miners, within the limits of the pro-
posed incorporation, opposed the
move, and produced a remonstrance
against it, much more numerously
signed than was the petition in favor
of incorporation. Under these cir
cumstances, the attempt was aband-
oned, for the law required that a ma
.iority of the inhabitants should petl-
ton in favor of it, before the board
of Supervisors could declare the town
incorporated. These petitions and
remonstrances show conclusivcly that
the mining population constitute
majority Of the Inhabitants of Oro-
vile. Now we are in favor of hay

TIE WANT of places for social
amusement and recreation, has ever
been felt by those of US who have
spent our time in the mines since
coming to California, and for lack of
lyccums, reading rooms, and public
libraries, young and old men who
would otherwise spend t'cir leisure
hours in such pursuits as would tend
to their intellectual and moral i'm
proycment, are induced to seek
amusement and relaxation from toll,
i'll visiting gambling houses and
drinking saloons, there to contract
habits that too often bring penury,
disgrace and ruin to those who are
50 unfortunate as to take the first fa-
tai step.
A little more than year ago,
Mercantile Library Association was
formed in Marysyille, and through
the interest taken in it by its mem
bers, is now in a Aourishing condition..
and during the last year several
highly interesting and instructive
lectures by gentlemen Of distinguish
Cd learning and ability have been de-
liycrcd before the Association. These
lectures have been wcll-attended, and
proved a source of considerable profit
to the society pecuniarily, and Of
amusement and instruction to the
listeners. We see 10 reason why Il
similar society may not be formed in
Oroyillc. There are enough here
who ought to feel an interest in such
matters, and the want of means
should not be assigned as reason
for its impracticability, the expense
attending the formation of society,
being comparatively small. Money
spent in this way is always profit
able investment, for when once an
interest is awakened in its members,
ciub-rooms become the place Of meet
ing instead of the drinking saloon,
and rational, beneficial pleasures take
the place of the dearly bought excite
mcnts Of wine and cards.
We hope to be able to chronicle
the organization of club, or lyceum
in Orovillc ere long, and trust that
other amusements than those afforded
by theatrical performers of doubtful
merit, and such pastimes as serve only
to crafty the baser passions, may
give way occasionally to the more
useful aud Substantial entertainments
offered by able and intelligent lect-
urers, many of whom could, no doubt,
be induced to visit us the coming
winter. Let us have Lyceum, and
try and reclaim ourselves from our
present habits of dissipation and In
attention to profitable study.

SALMON FIsHING AMONG THE INDIANS
The Mariposa Gazette says that the Indians
upon the South Fork and upper parts of the
main Merced river are much dissatisfied at
the failure of their Salmon fishing, which is
caused by one or two dams on the lower part
of the river. Large quantities of salmon are
annually killed by these Indians, and being
prepared in their own manner, form the
staple article of food during the winter.
