Gov. DENvER.-Thc Washington cores
pondent OF the n. Y. Times, under date of
February 2ud, states that Judge Elmore of
kanzas had arrived in Washington, aud
brought with him an earnest request
from Gov Denver to the President, to re-
call him, and re.instate him in his former
position, that of Commissioner Of Indian
affairs. The whole Lecompton business is
repugnant to his feelings, because he sees
that 1t is repugnant to the people Of Kansas,
and he is anxious to avoid being mixed up
in the imbrogio in any way whatever
We are grati6ed at being able to record this
evidence of the popular sovereignty" prin-
ciples Of Gen. Denver. Should he lend
himselfto force constitution upon the peo-
pie of Kansas. in opposition to the will of
the majority. he would do injustice to his
California teachings and experience.

WEST BRANCH +. II. DIrcH.-We learn
from Major Watson that it is proposed to
complete the West Branch Ditch Immediately
to lnskeep's. thence down the ridge between
Little Butte and West Branch of Big Butte
to Helltown, Damoudvilo and the region
thereabout. Itis proposoto commence the
work as soon as the snow goes off. This
location promises to become one Of the
most extensive mining localities in the
State, aud MS soon as Spring opens, a
large population will be concentrated about
Dogtown and Inskeep's The amount Of wa.
ter which this ditch can furnish is almost
Unlimited. the supply in August last being
not less than 2500 inches, and in winter
there is an inexhaustible quantity. We may
expect encouraging news from the Butte
Greek diggings early in the coming season.

SAN Francisco, Feb q.
The unexpected arrival Of the Golden Age

yesterday. surprised everybody, and many
considered it a hoar, until it's full confrma-
tion by her appearance.
| noticed some items Of eastern news of
local Importance.
The New York Times under commercial
head of Feb. A, says that Vanderbilt author
ized the announcement that "he will start
On the 10th Of March, from New York, an

creased travel to California and demand of
competition" This is done, some think, out

to-day, that Capt. Ii. Baldwin, who arrived
on the Age yesterday, and who came on
here as Vanderb!ts agent, would start one
Of Vanderbilt's steamers from this end OF
the route on the 10th OF March, so the in-
dications are that we shall have a third op-
position line of steamers before long. 1t
never rains but it pours." We shall expect
to see passengers taken east at mere nomi-
nal rates of passage very soon now. The
steamship companies will be the losers, but
the people, who have suffered extortion
from the the soulless monopoly of the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company, will be greatly
benefited.
Financially considered, California pre-
sents an anomalous position. While we have
not been affected direct y or indirectly by
the late financial crisis, labor is said to be
plenty. ami we produce enough gold to ship
monthly near four millions, yet provisions

REWARD or MERIr.-By letter received
here by the last mail from Calao, we learn
that Charles Lay, who suddenly absquatu.
lated from Lynchburg, with various moneys,
and went the way of Harry Meiggs, is now
acting as Private Secretary to the American
Consul at Lima. We may next expect to
hear that Meiggs is appointed Minister to
some of the South American States. If we
are to take the case of Lay as criterion
We begin to believe that "policy is the best

Paliee Matters,

William Paulding was yesterday brought
before Justice Berry, charged with an as
sault upon Robert Gunnison, at Morris Ra'
vine. 1t being proven that Paulding had al
ready been tried for the same offence, before
Justice Campbell and decision having been
rendered in the same he was discharged.
A man named McCready accused Of parti'
cipating in the assault upon Gunnlson was
discharged We will here correct state
ment which appeared in our issue of yester-
day, which was to the effect that this as
saut on Gunnisou was doubtless made for
the purpose of committing robbery. Such
was not the case the beating being the re-
suit of difference between Paulding and
Gunnson
Chas. Shermier, (not Sherman as we had
it yesterday was brought before Justice
Berry, charged with an assault to commit
murder upon Chas Duensingcr, and held to
bail in the sum of 81 600 to appear before
the Court Of Sessions. Same person was ad-
mitted to bail in the sum Of 81 600 to appear
before Justice Berry on Saturday next, for
examination upon charge Of assault with
intent to murder, committed upon Wm. n.
Allen. Defendent gave bail in both cases.
Chas Bonner was fined FIVE dollars for
being drunk end disorderly.
All Toom was fined five dollars for furious
driving. All paid up like man.
