RowLANDsvlLLE, May 3lst, 20.

We are enjoying all the benefits of the Cal
iforna rainy season, scarcely a day passing
without more or less rain, with occasional
heavy rrosts, which is said to have cifccl,Ially
blasted the fruit crop here, which few
weeks since promised to be abundant. The
farmers too arc croaiing much with regard
to their wheat. which shows signs Of being
much injured by the fly, md | fear there Is
abundant cause for fearful approximations.
The corn is suffering much from the cold and
wet. FIRES now the 3lst Of May, aIc consid-
cred indispensable.
Tie SuSquchanna continues very high,
scarcely docs one frcshct suhsidc, before there
is another. 1t seldom continues high enough
for rafting so long, and yet the supply Of
lumber falls short of the regular spring trade
This is somewhat attributed to the financial
difficulties of the North. The demand too
has been |, sscucd by the same cause in This
region. THIS am told has been poor sea-
son for business all along the river, which for.
morlv was the lvcrncn's harvest.
The supervisors of the 9th 7th and Slh
districts are doing good service and hope their
reign will be one Of great usefulness. Our
billy roads are hard to repair and require
superior Judgment to properly keep them
in order. Mr.. John Swisshcr, the model road
,nendcr, is now on the road from Port Depos.

NAVAL CONTESTS IN THE LATE WAR.-Ol
the naval action in the last war with Eng.
land the following were won bv Americans .

British TicioI icS.-U. S. fligate Choso
peakc, captured 10y British fiigate Shannon
I. s. corvette Argus, captured by British
corvette Pelican.
The above list does not include the com.
bats of priydtcers. nor naval captures, IN
which there was imm,nsc disparity ,f force.
The capture Of single fieates by souadrons
or OF smaller vessels by those of much larger
class, occurred occasionally ON both sides,
but are not given, as neither party claims
that such incidents decided ANYTHING. In
oniittng, however, the achievements of our
privstcers, we leave out some of the brightest
pages Of American glory. Letters of maruue
were issued soon after the declaration Of war,
and privateers sailed from every port. Most
OF our enormous commercial prizes were won
by the privateers, and in their numerous
contests with armed ships of the enemy
whether public or private, the proportion OF
victories was as great and decisive as in the
contest between national vessels.
These facts are not without interest, at the
present moment, when the contingency Of
another war with Great Britain is generally
discussed.

YIELD OF TIE MINES OF CALIFORNIA AND
AusTRALIA.-Tlc San Francisco Alta Califor-
MIA furnishes comparison between the gold
productions Of California and Australia, the
statistics from the latter country being dcri-
we'd from the report published in the Mel.
bourne Herald:
The whole amount Of gold produced from
1851 TO 1857 inclusive, is as follows From
California $33S, II ,4G7, and from Australia
SEQ ,G97, G0-haance in favor of Califor-
MIA, 500 074,107. This shouldIset at rest the
| question olthc comparative richness of the TWO
countries in the precious metals, which has
heretofore been a disputed point, since the
product of California has been made bv a
mining population far smaller than that of
the colony Of Victoria.
We have here sum total of over SIX hun
drcd millions of gold that have been added to
the wealth Of the world in the past six years
exclusive of the amount produced in Cailor-
MIA prior to 1851 as is shown by statiSt les
III Australia and shipment statistics in Cali
iornla. 1t is reasonable estimate to say
that a t least two hundred millions in value
of gold in addition has found its way into
the world, through other sources, from the
soils Of California and Australia-or, in round
numbers, making eight hundred millions of
dollars in solid gold as the great total

BRoBABLE PRoLoNGArIoN OF THE SESSION
&C.-ll ashinGton, June 1.-The House Com.
mittce on the Judiciary, took final action
to-day in the case of Judge Watson, Of Texas.
Eight members were present, and they were
equally divided Oh the question, as to wheth-
or he should be impcach,d for high crimes
and misdcmcanors, one side being ncutlai-
zed by the other, and thus the question has
been brought to close.
The impression is now very general that
the session of Congress will he prolonged be-
yond Monday, probably for two weeks.
The Senate has yet to dispose of seven or
eish. public appropriation bills, and have
made the British Aggression Resolutions the
special order for Saturday. In addition there
is othey business requiring the concurrent &C
ton of that body.

Municipal Revolution at New Orleans.
SEIZURE OF THE ARSENAL By THE V1GI-
LANCE COMMITTEE. Orleans, June 3D..
The reform revolution, growing out OF the
numerous riots and assassinatlons in this city,
broke out last night in the formation and Or
ganization OF u powerful vigilance committee,
who have taken possession of the city with
the determination Of enforcing lynch law.
The vigilance committee. among whom are
many Of our most respectable citizens, took
possession, in large numbers, of the arsenal
IN jackson Square, and this morning the
vigilance executive committee calls on all the
law and order-loving citizens to join them,
and announce their determination to carry
their measures out.
Nothing else has transpirod yet, except
that cannon are loaded and posted about the
arsenal, and about two hundred armed men
are on guard.
The vigilance committee have presented an
independent ticket for mayor and municipal
officers, in antaeonisn to the ruffianism of
both the old parties.
New Orleans, June 8, ll3O.-Gen T,acys

Our locofoco Government is

surplus in the Treasury ofSl7,7l0,114.
Six months ago the Secretary of the
Treasury asked for 1000, 900 of Trea-
sury notes these 37a millions have been
expended, and our locofoco Administra-
tion now makes a demand for perma-
nent loan of $l5,000,0OO more. Here
we have in less than year, nearly fifty
three millions expended beyond the rev.
enue from customs and the Public lands;
at which rate our locofoco Government
will run us in debt in its four years, up

Nothing but fp-penny-bit war with
