1t is very evident that money is pouring into
the city from somewhere; and in very def

to say where, because there are birds of evil

the extension of which you noticed in your
last, to the Southern mines, seems to be gain
ing the confidence of the public. Huge bags
from somebody to somebody else, occasionally
pass through the Office, of somewhat bulky
proportions and heavy wcight-such as would
astonish any bat old residents.
A gentleman Informs me that one of the po-
licemen of the city has privately forewarned
him to |" take care of his CATTLE" as the city is
snll of San Quentinites. Upon opening my
eyes IN astenisment, as in duty bound, at such
an announcement, and wishing to know the
reason why they were not sent back he pitied
my innocence, saying :" they manage these
things better in France" There is neither re-
ward, honor nor emolument-not even expen-
ses attached to any operation of the kind,
from any where therefore it is not surprising
that "still they go unwhipt" "Citzens," ;"
said he, " who know it, are taking care of their
property the best way they can, and now, lam
going to get good Watchdog to put into my
stable, and make my men sleep on the loft at
night" Comment is unnecessary.

attribute its disorganization to feeling of ri

1t is considered to be of consequence. at the
present day, for every man to know every
thing. Legislators in particular, consider
themselves in duty bound, to pay particular
attention to the politics of other States of the
Unien. Hence, being in duty bound to ex-
p'ess an opinion on the maiden speech of Sen
ator Broderick ON the Kansas question. A
Eost of propositions were made in the Lcgis-
lature, that didn't amount to any thing. So
the Lecompton Constitution was let alone at
last, and the business of the State Of CaTifor-

A very able debate occurred yesterday,
on the bill of Mr.. Phelps, proposing altera-
~ <I,on IL ofC C,1
the recommendation of the Judiciary that the
subject be indefinitely postponed. The chief
conclusion practically arrived at, seemed to be
the impossibilty of tinkering up the present
law. Therefore the bill was quashcd.
The merits of the subject, however, do not
seem to be forgotten; tor, on proposition, by
leave, to bring in bill in the Senate, to alb
rogate all existing laws of divorce, with a
view, no doubt, to the enactment of better
code,) the bill was read second time and re-
ferred to the Committee on Public Morals.
The people of Sacramento and all outside
subscribers to the Bee, are favored in the col
umns of that excellent little paper, with an
advertised copy of the original Agreement be-
tween General Suffer, of the one part and
Sanders and Muldrow of the other part, in
which the said parties of the second part un-
dertake to protect said party of the first
part, and take his part in every sense of the
term, in all land and business transactions,
wherein General Sutter can, by any means lay
ownership to any thing, by right, title or in
terest-become, in fact, Gen. Suffers agents,
by power of attorney. 1t seems to me to be
one of the most practical illustrations Of the
" heads win, tails you lose" system of doing
business that ever met the eyes or understand
ing of Newmarket swell snobsman. And if
General Sutter has one cent in his pocket, with
such an agreement hanging over him as that
which is published, he is richer than take
him to be. That is to say, provided the
agreement has been fully acted upon Gen.
Sutter, am informed, was in the city month
or so ago, endeavoring to obtain credit for me-
cessaries for himself and family, from those
men whom he had made rich, but he couldn't
get one pound of flour. ssfEs fe1 81
The Marysville people are crying aloud for
a railway The Yuba is fast filling up, as is
also Feather river, with sand and mud from
the mountains and nothing, they say, can
save them from the impending terrors of ru-
ined prospects, but railway thence to Benicia,
direct. whence, we suppose, Sacramento will
be allowed to obtain a branch. n
