The correspondent of the New York Courier and
Inquirer says:
Mr.. Parrott will, at an early dav, present to
Congress the Constitution of Kansas, framed by the
Leayenworth Convention, and adopted by the peO-
pie in May last At the same time, he will state,
that in his opinion the people do not desire adms
SION under that instrument Mr.. Parr0tt thinks
that the new legislature will enact law calling
another Convention, with view to an application
Tor admission next winter.
1t Is suspected and asserted by some that the
President has already taken measures to occupy
me TWO Mexican provinces which he has requested
congress to authorize him to bring within the
protecting power of the United States. The in
strucions of Major Ben McCulloh are said to direct
MN TO examine and report to the Government
places IN Sonora and Chihuahua at which it will be
advisable to station troops in order to provide for
the defence OF those States against the Indians and
to hold them in possession of the United States un-
til the settlement by Mexico of the claims preferred
against her by this Government. 1t is supposed
that this plan can be carried out by the appoint
mcnt OF an Indian agent, and the placing under his
orders of five thousand troops
The correspondent of the New York HcruId saws:
The bill introduced by Mr.. Curtis, of Iowa. in the
House of Representatives, to secure the construc-
ton of a Central Pacific Railroad, provides for
branches from two points on the navigabe waters
OF the Missouri river-one opposite to Iowa and
the other opposite to Missouri-the two branches
to converge and unite within two hundred miles of
the Missouri river, and thence to the navigable
waters OF the Sacramento. The usual appropria-
Ion OF the alternate sections within six miles are to
be appropriated, and government is to appropriate
to the contractors twelve thousand dollars a mile,
to he reimbursed to the government in transporta-
ton OF mails and military stores-the construction
to be offered by the President to the best bidder as
proposed by Senator Gwin's bill.
Tins plan starts at the outer rim of our present
railroad connections, and terminates on the navi-
gable waters in the centre of California population
1t Is claimed that it would be equally convenient to
fat
Southland convenient for connections with all our
Pacific Territories. 1t would follow the emigrant
route up the Platte, through Utah, and be aboI
sixteen or eighteen hundred miles long.
The bill was referred to the Select Committee on
the subject of the Pacific Railroad, which was re-
viyed for the purpose Of its consideration.

The st. Louis Democrat Of Tuesday saws:
y company of Georgia miners arrived in our
city yesterday, direct from the new gold diggings
near Pixies Peak. They brought with them a
quantity of pure gold small parcel of which they
disposed of to Clark, Bros. & Co.. bankers of this
city, so that it may be by those who have any
doubts of its existence. William 6. Russell, one
of the company. highly intelligent man, who is
familiar with mining in California, informed Clark
Bros. Il Co. that these new discoveries are now
yielding, in proportion to the amount of prospect
ing made, well as the California mines are
doing at the present time. Mr.. r. has no doubt
that hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of
the precious dust will be sent forward to st. Louis
next year. We have been shown letters from diff
tercnt sections of the Union, where news of these
discoveries has been received which state that many
parties are forming for migration to the gold dig
gings in the spring, and that may anticipate the
largest migration that has ever been made to the
West.

Mr.. Kendall writes to the Picdyune, from New

a new market for their cotton-a market which
was hardly thought of few years since In our
streets can now be seen long train of Mexican
CARTS all the way from SaltillO, picking up the cot
down the country, all of which is destined for the
Mexican factories beyond Monterey and the Sierra
Madre. The manufacturers there find it for their
interest to send directly here to buy the cotton they
require at the plantations, and to send it off the
long journey in the rude carts of the country. Our
planters, meanwhile receive better prices than they
Gould possibly obtain by sending their cotton to In

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The decisive vote by
which the House to-day refused to postpone the
consideration of the Report of the judiciary Com
mittee upon the case of Judge Watrou3, of Texas,
is indicative of fixed determination to dispose of
the matter during the present session of Congress.
Should the House lind articles of impeachment, it
is probable the Senate will be occupied with the
trial until late in the summer. Two reports are be-
fore the House from the Judiciary Committee, each
of which is signed by four members of the Commit
tee. The testimony is exceedingly vOluminous and
with the reports, constitutes book of some 1905
pages. The argument Of Mr.. Chapman, of Penn
sylvania, in favor of the Impeachment of the Judge,
was able and lawyer-like and commanded the midi
vided attention of the House. Mr.. Tappan of
New Hampshire, who replied to Mr.. Chapman,
was unable to complete his argument within his
hour.
The caucus of Democratic Senators for the pur-
pose OF considering certain changes proposed to be
made in the Standing Committees of the Senate
held at 10 O'Clock to-day, but their action has
not yet ranspired. II was understood that strong
effort would be made to give the Craftsmanship of
of the Committee on Territories now held by Judge
Douglas, to Senator Green, of Missouri.
