Effacts of the Exodus to Frazer River.

Effects of the Exodus to Frazer River.
What will be the effect of the discovery oil
cold in the Frazer river country upon the
prosperity Of California is now the only
practical question with reference to the pre-
yailing excitement. The fever prevails, and
for the present it were as easy to dam Mag
ara at the falls as to stop the tide of emigra-
ton. Thousands of our most energetic mi
ners and best citizens have gone, and Others
are following.
But what OF the effect upon our own gol-
den State? In all candor we do not think
our people-~those who remain-should be at
all alarmed If Frazer turns out no better
than Kern river those who have left us will
return, and bring with them stock of eA-
perences added to their store, which will
make them contented to remain there
after in the best gold producing, best ag-
rcultural, and otherwise most inviting
country on the face of the globe. If the
gold region of the North shall prove to be
rich and extensive, it will still, in the end be
all the better for California.
Anything that will bring a hardy, enter
prising, Industrious population to this coast,
will benefit and promote the prosperity OF
California However rich the Frazer mines,
and however great the excitement produced
in the Atlantic States and Europe, Califor-
MIA will be more benefited thereby than the
country where the new mines exist Cali
fornia is aud must continue to be the culmi-
mating point on this coast for trade and com
merce; this is a settled point, and with the
advantages Of soil, climate, and gold fields
that never can be exhausted no other part
of this western slope of the western world
can successfully compete with us.
For a time, the exodus will greatly retard
some branches of business in California; mcr-
chants, for instance, and especially those who
may have purchased goods upon credit, will
suffer to a greater or less extent Yet we
do not think that even this state of affairs
will last long. The reaction, or return from
Frazer risermay be very speedy; and at any
rate, the probabilities are that California will
be the first to experience the benefits of the
Frazer excitement in the Atlantic States and
Europe. The tide will start from those quar-
ters in time to reach San Francisco late in
the fall and early next winter At San
Francisco they will find that the Frazer
mines are closed for the scason--closed till
the following July or August--and that on
the contrary, in California, it is the prime
season for mining What will be the .consc-
quence ? Why, that forty-nine of every
fifty will locate among us, and vastly more
than make up for those we have lost and are
yet to lose
Depend upon it, the Frazer river country,
with its two or three months of mining sea-
son in the year, never can compete with us.
1t will inevitably be nothing more or less
than a tributary to the wealth and prosper
i.y Of California.

Crittendsn-The Union.

The following is from the Washington
correspondence Of the Louisville Journal:-
From m1ny years observation in Wash.
ington,yo correspondent has learned 10 re-
gard much Of the talk about disunion as mere
gas, but at The same time, il caunot be dis
enisei that iire-eaters on one side and phos-
phorus-chewers on the other are anxious
for a division Of the Confederacy. The
number may be inconsiderable, yet such is
the fact, and more is the pity.
But while puny partisans are thus en-
deayoring TO end the federal ties, there are
patriots who speak in tones clearly under
stood and warmly appreciated. An instance
Of this character was afforded yesterday by
the truly gallant, conservative, noble, and
intellectual Crliendeu. He took the posi-
zion that Minnesota should be considered on
its own merits and should not be embarrass-
ed by linking its destinies with the distract
ing subject OF Kansas Passing from this, he
took occasion to notice the threats of disun-
ion: his heart sickenirg at such oratorcaI
demonstrations, and in short but truly
richly eloquent speech, he gave uterancs
to his Union-loving sentiments in strain 81
fervont and glowing as 10 command the ap'
plause Of the auditors in the galleries. /
was in vain that the presiding officer en-
deavored 10 check the oulburst Of patriotism
in that part Of the Chamber. Mr.. CriIten
den remarked that the love of the Unior
was too deeply rooted in the breasts o
the people to be sradicated by the mer
efforts Of partisans Of any party. The nam
of Crittenden is on many a lip to-day in thi
city. He is looked upon as a,ower Of defenc
in these iroublous times. A true America
his clarion voice 10 ever heard in defence 9
the right; no one dares question his integrit,
Well may Kentucky be proud of such
statesman in the national councils.

houn is preparing statement to the public
relative 10 Kansas affairs. He has said in
conversation with his friends, and he may
repeat the statement in his address, that he
did vote in the Lecompton Convention 10
submit the entire Constitution, but il was
defeated, and he then went for vote on the
slavery article, and that there was an at
tempt 10 practice deception on him as 10
the returns from Delaware Crossing, but
that the correct returns give the Legisla-
ture to the Free State party. He is Of o.
pinion that this leaves no room for conten-
ton,
A proposition will be offered in the Sen
ate from the Lecompton Democratic side,
at the proper time, emphaiically and dis
tincIly recognizing the right Of the people
Of Kansas TO alter their Constitution when
ever they see proper, anything in the LIE

withdrawing.

Santa Anna and Gen Pillow.

Santa Anna has just published NANTES
to Indignantly denying the charge preferred
by Pillow that Scott bribed him to make
peace, and threatening to call him to perso-
nal account for the insult. He says:
The American general, Pillow, who was
one of the invaders of my country in lS47,
being DESTROYS Of making himself name
among his countrymen as candidate for the
United States Senate Of Washington, pub
lshed not long ogo an article in which, after
describing himself as a wonderful military
hero against the Mexicans, he has the au-
daciiy to soy that the commander in-chief Of
the American army at that period was bold
enough TO make certain dishonorable pro-
positions to me, and that had been brought
10 listen TO and even to accept them. The
purport and object of these propositions, as
Gen, Pillow alleges was to put an end to the
war and TO conclude treaty Of peace in
consideration of pitiful pecuniary indem.
MITIGATION which was to be paid for my speci.
al and individual benefit. The position and
standing Of General Pillow in his own
country must be indeed very little to bt

which was the object Of his ambition, he
finds it necessary TO resort 10 the base anc
low scheme OF iiventing and iabricatine
calumnies and falsehoods. Such conduct
is utterly unworthy soldier and gentle
man, the more SO as the distance which
divides us from each other enables him &c
speake in safety and with IMMUNITY.
Without at all giving up the right which
| have of calling upon him, when circum
stances shall permit, 10 account to me for
his conduct, as it is due me that he should
/ shall content myself for the present will
repeliing, with the utmost indignation, thi
his Infamous calumny, notwithstanding tina
