FRAZER RIvEr AND SAN Francisco TrApE.-The
last number ofthe San Francisco Prices Current
and Shipping List in an article containing much
valuable information, speaking of the condition
of mercantile matters in San Francisco says For
ty-ve vessels are now known to be on the way from
Atlantic orts, and the latest advces represent
something like a score more, filling up with dis.
patch for this and adjacent ports. The merchandise
sh'pped to Puget Sound will very probably find thi,
market if it finds any; should it not reach here
but its ostensible destination it will foresta the de-
mand on this market from that quarter So great
was the delusion in regard to Frazer river that ad
wees inform us of four vessels at London. four at
New ork and two at Boston, all taking in cargoes
Tor Port Townsend-and market, we suppose. if
they can find one. That these goods are not want
ed In the north, is fully evnced by the fact that
goods shipped thither from this port are finding
their way back.

NEW PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 23d, 1858.
FRIEND CRosETTE The following are the pro-
ceedings o. an Administration primary meeting:
According to the requirements of poster which
made its appearance recently in New Philadelphia,
the electors of the Administration party of that
precinct, consisting of two Americans, two 1tal-
ians, and one Irishman, and borrowed chairman
fl ON the Douglas party, assembled in Convention
at H. Austin's store, September 23d, for the pur-
pose of eecting two delegates to the Administra-
ticn party's County Convention, to be holden at
Oroyille, Sept. 25, 1858.
The meeting was organized by calling Mr.. Hall
to the chair, and appointing Wat Perdue, Secreta-
ry. Wat Perdue and F. W. Sibey, were nominated
for delegates and some one of the five seconded
the nomination, and they considered themselves
elected deles ates One of the Italians made mo-
tion to the effect that no one should participate or
take any part in the meeting only those who be-
longed to the party, aud who was willing to wor.
ship the beast and his image. On motion they ad-
ourned. If they take two from every five for dele
gates they will be well represented in convention,
or otherwise the party must be small. Publish
this and send it to the seven churches which are in
Asia. MUD SILL, NOT SEC'Y.

lTEN.-There is a weekly paper published at
Napa, California; edited by promising lad nam
ed Llllard. In no age have schoolboys shown them.
selves such apt writers as in the present. Master
lillard writes very cleverly-for one of such ten.
der years and short experience in the Editorial
proiesslon-bnt we notice one or two errors in the
last issue of his paper which, with desire for his
improvement, we will direct his attention to. For
instance: In bit of romantic pleasantly, where
in our talented young friend speaks of the probable
speedy suspension of the BUTTE RECORD, he uses
the word caveing," spelt as we give it with a sr-
perfluous e. This, to be sure, is not very glarng
species oferror but which it is better for him to
correct now in his caller years, than to attem pt
rectifying after habit has made such mistakes
second nature. Wefnd the subjoined interesting
item in our friends paper:
CoMIr.--For the last three or four nights a
comit has been visible from this point in the north
west. 1t can be seen Immediately after dark.
1t will be observed that the above is generally
correct, but we are panied to see that the writ er
was so afraid that he would put his eye out that he
allowed himself to spell comet incorrectly We are
likewise greved to learn that he is so naughty as
to wallow in the miry Boggs of Lecomptonsm.-
But is doing so is, doubtless, more the fault of his
guardians than through any natural inclination of
his own to do wrong.

Bold and Correct.

In the course of a long and eloquent editorial,
which appeared in the Richmond (va.) Enquirer
of July 80, in reply to letter in the South, we find
passage which is no less distinguished for the
cect positions assumed in it, than for the bold
ner in which thsy are expressed:
''We are not disposed to anticipate the action Of
the people of Kansas on this subject But every
thinking man at once REGIMES the fact that the
provision excluding Kansas until she shall have
attained SO 900 l20 900 inhabitants furnishes no
legal barrier TO the immediate admis sion of Kan
sas. Without infringing single item of the con-
stitution. the next Congress may admit the State
without any refere. whatever 10 the English
Compromise. And whatever action Congress NAV
take on the subject should be taken with view to
the best interests of the people of the Territory
and entirely without reference to the sectional
preference or preiudices ef different members OF
Congress. The man who shall oppose the admission
of Kansas merely on the ground that she comes
forward with free State Constitution, will act in
disloyalty to the spirit of the Constitution. The
| Democrat who shall follow a similar narrow anC
vicious policy, must disregard the faitr solemn,
! pledged by the party to which he belongs. AND
the Southern man who acts in accordance with sucf
dictates of bad faith will offer to the adversarles o
southern rights the best possible pretext and rec
/ edent for disastrous retaliation"
| We commend the above to the careful attention
ofth adherents to the infamous English abonlina
/ ton.

CAUSES FOR REJoIcIsG-The Joyous demonstra-
tions which will be made on Monday in honor of
the success of the great cable laying ought not be
the only congratulatory manifestation made by the
people OF California on that day. They ought to
take into consideration the peace achievments Of
our country's agents in China and Japan, should
remember too, that the irst poles for au overland
telegraph have been set, and that Weekly Mail

BAD AS BALLOT Box STuFFNG.-The Lecempton

didate for the Assembly, is defeated by one vote.
and IS. Upton, the Lecompton candidate. declared

rejection of the returns above stated. 1t is true

USEoUL JusTIcE.-The Judge of the Twelfth
District Court of San francisco, has determined
that because man kicks his wife out of bed is 70

woman from her husband. The Massachusetts
Courts have decided that husband Who retaates
on his wife for throwing her leg against his 'bile y
by pinching her, is guilty of a misdemeanor, and
Is liable to pay six dollars fine therefor This is
another exemplifcation of the inequality of Justice
as between different courts. Perhaps, however, the
San Francisco female might get a divorce ION

FAIRFIELD BAR.-0ur ever entefprising friend
o. Nj. Evans, IS, 1t seems likely TO reap rich re-
ward for his energy and industry, from that rich
est of all rich spots Fairfield Bar at which locality
he and others have ffumed the river again this sea-
son. This, we believe, is the fifth time the river
has been turned at Fairfield, and every time so far,
it has paid largely, and continues to hold out like

Fairfield is turning out well, is the advertisement
conspicuous about town for twenty-five men to
help the work along. Good for Fairfield.

The Comet.

The savans in matters astronomical have
demonstrated that the two comets which have
claimed SO much attention of late mornings
and evenings, are one aud the same. We
thought there were two; but the elucidators
Of science have satisfied us that there is but
one-and thereby hangs tale.
We remember, when in the days of our
hooby-de-hoyhood, of smoking piece of glass
TO aid our unsophisticated vision in contem-
plating an eclipse of the -blindly fol-
lowing an example set by our elders when the
daytime comet of lS43 appeared, confirming
Mllerites in their faith, and making hosts of
trembling preselytes to the same insane teach
ings We are told that whisk of that burn
ing leviathan's tail was destined to 'strike fiat
the thick rotundty of this world" and that
thereafter the elements would "melt with fer
vent heat" But the comet and its huge ap-
pendage soon went harnilessly away, having
shattered nothing mundane but nerves and
timd minds. leaving the disciples of old Miller
disconsolate in view Of a prolonged sQiourn on
this wicked world
Experience has taught us that comets and
moons can be gazed upon with naked eyes,
and we have settled our supper with looking
at this one of evenings and, unsettled our rest
by getting out ef bed TO take peep at it cI
mornings. They say ii is the same which was
seen by one Fabricius, in the year 1856. His
tory tells Us that Charles Y of Germany got
frightened at comet, and, in consequence
abdicated bis throne in l55s-three hundred
years ago. The comet OF 1858 will hardly
cause like movement on the part of james |
of America
Comets do frighten people, though, even i'll
this nineteenth century, and, in spite of the
seeming indifference of certain otherwise brave
fellows, they cannot possibly avoid feeling ol
nervousness every time the loHg-tailed stranger
Is mentioned. The possibilities of a collision
between mother earth and the intruder are dis
cussed everywhere; sometimes jocularly, and
sometimes in terms that evince unnervi0p an
prehensions. A boasting fellow addressing
himself to the object of his ill-couccaled fears
exclaimed, the other night in our hearing
\ ou may wave your light, old LongtaiI, but
you can't come at"-declaring his fcarlessness
in wretched pun.
But it might take notion tos.rsgyle along
earthwards, and, if it does-why, Lecomptou

advantage TO error all viii be piled up in

or no comet there will occur most terrible
panic and great wailing among the Federal
