Volume XIII. January, 1859.

The National Era is about to enter upon its
Thirteenth volume.
Twelve years ago, when the Discussion oil
the Question Of Slavery was practically pro.
hibited IN this District the Era was commenced
for the purpose OF asserting and defending the
Rights OF Discussion, and of giving fair ex-
preston TO Anti-Slavery Sentiments. In the
House Of Representatives, John Quincy Adams
and Joshua K. Gddings alone gave it moral
support; In the Senate, II found not single
well wisher; while outside OF Congress it stood
here, solitary and unsustained under ban and
menace. A conflict followed, in which an excited
populace undertook 10 suppress it by violence,
but il resisted the storm, maintained its posi-
ton, and from that hour the Liberty Of the
Press was established in the District of Co
lurnbia.
Twelve years have passed, and to day, the
Era finds twenty among the most distinguished
members of the Senate, elected to carry out the
Principles it was instituted to advocate, and
the House almost controlled by Representative,
with whom it can consistently and heartily act
as a CO. worker.
While the cause it has advocated has adj
vanced so rapidly, am constrained to say that
the Era, since the advent OF the Republican
Party, has suffered somewhat in its circulation.
Influential newspapers, once in opposition,
but now united in the same movement, and an
extensive Local Press, unfolding kindred SEN
timents, naturally engross large portion Of
Republican patronage.
This was to be expected, but still think
there are good reasons why the Era should
continue to be sustained. 1t was the first Press
to raise the standard of Freedom in the Capital
of the Republic. For twelve years it has been
Identified with the AntiSlavery movement,

dangerous character. t

LATER FROM CALIFORNIA.

Nep Orleans Nop 23.-The steamship
Quaker City arrived here to-day, bringing the
California mails, which left San Francisco on
the 9Th inst, and were brought across the 18th
mus of Tehuantepec.
The Quaker City, on her outward passage, in
crossing the bar of Coatzacoalcos, found four.
teen feet of water, and sailed direct up to Nina
titan, where she met the iron steamer Suchil.
The latter vessel, after receiving the passengers
and mails proceeded up the river, and arrived
at. Suchil on the 18th at midnight, the time be-
ing but seventy-eight hours from New Orleans.
From the latter place, the passengers and mails
were sent forward to Ventosa on the Pacific,
from whence they were conveyed to San Fran
cisco by the mail steamship Oregon.
The California mails Of the 9th inst. reached
ventosa on the evening of the l4th, were landed
at Shchl on the 10th, and on the 18th they
were put on board the Quaker City, bound to
New Orleans, where she arrived in sixty three
hours from Minatitlan.
The steamer Oregon would sail ON the 9th
inst. for Acapulco, connecting with the Panama
steamer in plenty of time for the mails of the
9th of October, which reached Ventosa in good
time.
1t is confidently asserted that the trip from
San Francisco to New Orleans can be made by
this route in twelve days.. t !
1t is represented that the work ON the 18th.
mus is progressing finely. All but twenty-five
miles is in good running order, and in two weeks
time the work will be finished, and twenty
coaches placed on the route s
1t is proposed to open new route via the
river Jaltepee, which will cut off seven miles of
the worst part of the road, and bring the dis
lance down to one hundred miles.
There is plenty of water on the Coatzacoalcos
bar, and the harbor of Ventoss is as good as
that of Valparaiso. The Isthmus is healthy.

fdence in the intelligence of Congress to sup
pose that either House will seriously consider
