The Iowa RArLEoAD.-Con. interest
is manifested as to the character of the issue
involved In tho communication from tho Score
tary Of the Interior to the House Of Represen-
tatives on Friday last, and the resolution of
Mr.. Washburne, of Illinois, to have the same
referred to the Committee on Public Lands.
with directions 10 investigate the matter, 1t
appears that Congress granted to the State of
Iowa quantity Of public land, to aid in tho
construction of railroad from dubuque to
Sioux City, with branch to the mouth of the
Tete dcs Moots,' and that tho S,ato has not
yet finished the branch" railroad. Tho Oh
Ject OF the resolution calling for the communi-
cation was to ascertain if the State had received
tie lands granted. The Secretary communi-
cition covered one from the Commissioner of
the Land Office, whose reply to the interroga-
tory is as follows:
No lands have az yet been certified to as in
nrln2 to the state Of Iowa account Of said
ROAD or branch, nor has this Office been advised
branchn
We understand Mr.. Washburp IS resolution
as intending that the Public Labds Committee
shall inquire whether the State means to build
the RAILROAD named and accept the grant of
lands. 1t is probable this is with a view to the
building of the road by some other method
than under the jurisdiction of the State.
The ATRAro EXPEDITION. NAVY De-
partment are in receipt of dispatches from the
Atrato expedition, dated at Pisisi, February
l7th and 22d. Lieut.. 7. A. Craven, the com.
mandant, reports in the first letter that his
movements have been somewhat interfered
with on account of his supply of proyisidns
from Aspinwall being delayed Three Of his
men were also taken sick, and he was thus led
to return to the Gulf of Dnrien to get Accom-.
modations for his sick and to ascertain what
had become of the provisions. lie expected to
complete the survey by the Goth of March. In
the later despatch, he announces the arrival
Of the provisions at Pisisi, by which he was re-
lieved Of his apprehensions, and he intended
Immediately to resume his labors. There is no
othsr news importance in the letters.

CALIFORNIA SPEAKING FOR LEcosrTos We
had room in the Star Of Saturday last only TO
monitor that the response of California to tho
Presidents message is prompt and decided
We have now to say that the Legislature has
had before it several propositions intended to
foment and aid the Douglas treason, which
have been from time to time postponed. On
the Sd instant, Mr.. Stratton offered in the As
sembly the following resolves in favor Of lie.
compton which were adopted the following
day by the decisive vote Of 40 to is:
Whereas the people OF the Territory of Kansas
did, on the 9TH day of December, IcJ7 by a con =
vention assembled for that purpose forIn them

republican, and whereas the said constitution has

States with the view Of the admission Of Kansas
into the mon a. an iudepeEdtd = ate: therefore
RsSo!r'd, by the Senate and Assembly of III.
state Of California That our Senator. he Instruct
ed and our Representatives. requested to vote for
the Immediate admission Of Kansas into the
Union, on an equal footing with the original
States in all respects whatever.
ReSofr,d, That the Governor be, and he is here
by, requested to transmit copies of these resoIu-
lions TO our Senators and Representatives in Con-
gress.
Resolutions of a contrary tenor were offered
by Mr.. BalIou, but met no favor from the As
sembly, which showed the warmest disposition
to sustain the position taken Oh this subject by
the National Democratic party.
The Senate of California having adjourned
prior to the passage of the resolutions, no vote
oould be had in it on them before the steamer
sailed; but a caucus Of the Democratic mem
bers OF the Senate was held where the resOlu-
tions were concurred in unanimously-the anti
LecOmptonites finding themselves 50 weak that
they judged it prudent to withdraw from tho
caucus.
We trust that this decisive and unmistak able
Of the Democratic party will have it's due effect
upon the Hon. j. q. McKibbin, of California,
Ia his future action. So far he has voted with
the opposition upon the question: but We hope
