What the English Bill has done for Kansas.

Philip G. Schuyler, writing to the New
York Tribune from Burngame Kansas
says that more has been done for the organ
ization Of Kansas in the last, than during
four years prior to this" Mr.. Schuyler
says: 'lou may think the remark strange
one but it is true. From the moment the
passage of the English Bill made clear our
policy and our duty, Kansas had peace

tentment and happiness are making their
impress on every counlenanre, and our in

ments of the soil, and improvement in homes
than have been shown for the whole period
of Kansas settlement"
Such is the testimony of Mr. Schuyler,
for several years resident Of Kansas, a
strong anti-slavery man, and an opponent of
Mr.. Buchanan's Administrations
Ard the measure that has brought about
that peace, and given assurance to industry
and improvement, is the same that met with
so much abuse and its advocates so much
vlliicaion, at the hands of the Republicans

Kansas and its Condition.

Kansas, since the restoration of peace
within its borders, through the agency of
the English Bill, hardly commands ordinary
attention. A convention was recently held
in the Territory to take steps for admission
into the Union as a free State, and to ar
range for future movements Of the Republi-
can party. 1t was very smIy attended,
and, after a tame and brief session, adjourn
ed without doing anything at all. Yet the
fact has hardly been noticed in paper out
side Of :he Territory ana within created no
sensation whatever. The English BIZ set
tied great deal, and we suppose the suppo-
sition that it would do so was the reason it
met with the violent opposition that it en-
countered frcm the Black Republicans.

SrocKroN SUoToN WELL-The suction
we'll in Stockton has succeeded. The expert
ment, says the Republican, was tried at the
corner of California and Washington streets.
A bore Of seven inches in diameter, was sunk
to the depth of ninety seven feet. Into this
was let down suction pipe, 40 feet long and
4 inches in diameter, made Of galvanized
iron, with an elbow at the top, upon which
was coupling that was made to fit the sue
ton of the Eureka engine, which on being
manned played several satisfactory streams.
The cost of such a we'll does not exceed one
hundred dollars.

The MONROE DOCTRINE IN FRANcE.-Th.

that. Europe is not to interfere in the afF.;..

The Gold REGION.

Mr. George S. Simpson, who has lived
under the shadow Of the Rocky mountains
for over Is years, informs the Kansas City
Journal Of Commerce that he has known of
the existence of gold about the head waters
of the Arkansas, Platte, and Colorado or
Green rivers, for more than fifteen years.
He says that, so far as he has been able to
learn, the miners, though they are now quite
successful, have not been prospecting in the
right quarter to find large deposits of gold;
Mr.. S. being of the opinion that gold exists
more plentifully in the mountains stretching
southwark from the Arkansas than in the
range north Of that steam.

Congressional Districts.

On Monday next, in the State Senate, the
bill for dstricting the State into Congress
sonal Districts, is made the special order of
the day. We know not what chance this
bill may have with the members Of the Leg
slature, but we have the hope, if it is equi-
tably drawn, it may pass. California alone,
of all the States of the Union, is the only one
that has failed to recogise the provisions of
the law of Congress, requiring the election
of Congressman by single districts. There
is no reason why this should be so; and a
proper respect for the law upon the subject,
should long since have prompted the State
to an acquiescence in the general CUSTOM
From year to year, though often urged, our
Legislatures have delayed action upon this
question, without any other reason that is
patent than it did not suit the purpose Of
aspiring gentlemen, who preferred to take
the chances for nomination in State Con
vention, where State nominations were to be
made, and the opportunities for making
points, numerous, to having nominations by
District Conventions, where trading would
be at a great discount.
The time has come, if our State intends
respecting this law of Ctngress, for the Leg
islature to act, and we desire to see the mat
ter settled now. Any further opposition to
the measure, may be considered as prompt
ell soelly by political feeling, and desire of
aspiring gentlemen to grind axes on their
own account. In considering this subject
we hope the Legislature will have more in
view the proprety Of conforming to the
general system required of the States, than
to the furthering of the aims Congressional
aspirants.

Sacramento Correspondence Of "Brique." :"
SACRAMENTO, Jan. Goth, 1859.

SACRAMENTO, Jdu. ZOlll, lOOS.
Editor Placer Herald-DEAR S1R:-The
dongs of the Legislature are of course the
topics of our every day conversation, and
consequently letter from this portion Of the
enlightened world is expected to be filled
with the proceedings of that august body;
but must beg 4 to differ little with the
usual sentiment, and review only the local
matters transpiring daily. Of the Legisla-
ture, however, will mention that the man
ner they are pressing onward in business is
truly commendable, but fear there is dispo-
sition to carry party spirit too far. Among
the social circles the marriage of the Speak
er of the House is reported, and its not only
report, for learn to-day that he will take
unto himself a charming little widow, and
the day Monday next, and the place the St.
George Hotel, vhich is, by the way, one of
the finest kept ..oGses in this or any other
country, and the people appreciate it too,
for it is filled from the bottom to the top.
Our streets, which have been in horrible
condition during the fall, are undergoing a
thorough improvement, and in short time
we shall have roads that will compare favora-
bly, with any in the Eastern cities. The
consolidation reform bill, which passed last
session, thereby consolidating our city and
county. has proven very useless-in fact its
provisions have stopped the wheels of Gov
ernment, which certainly will not turn unless
creased by the present Legislature.
Our city is honored at present by the
presence of a host of military personages,
prominent among whom are General Sutter
and staff, believe they propose an amend
ment to the military law. The Fire Depart
ment are on the qui oive for the grand recep-
ton to be given to the Confidence Company
on the arrival Of their new engine, which is
being put up at San Francisco, after trip
of about l40 days from New York.
Your Senators and Representatives ale
doing well and will 90 home bearing laurels.
They are perfect Salamanders the CTarantula

KIDNAPPING A SLAvE.-1he Sacramento
Unions telegraph report from San Francis
co, January Goth says that Mrs. Mccormack
wife of DR.. Mccormack, of the U. S. Army,
who was stopping at a boarding house in Clay
street, opposite the Plaza, was about to go
on the steamer to-day, having a slave with
her, and when on point of getting into her
carriage with the slave, eight or ten colored
people forcibly carried him away down Clay
street to Sansome street, and succeeded in
secreting him, and it is said against his will.
Two negroes have been arrested, charged
with being with the party who carried him

Senator GWin's Speech.

To-day we give such portion of Mr. Gwin's
great speech upon the Pacific Railroad Bill
now before Congress, as will suffice to snow
the arguments advanced, and explain the
principal features Of the bill proposed We
regret that our limited space prevents the
appearance of the entire speech, as j, is a
document that should be read by every man
who is identified with California interests.
Mr.. Gwin has handled his subject with mas
terly abity-showing familiarity and
heart interest in the great work that must
have given his arguments and conclusions
weight with his auditors, as they certainly
will with the country.
The persistent defamers of Mr.. Gwin-the
men who have been untiring in their efforts
to cheat the people of California into tel
belief that he was in reality an enemy o
the Pacific Railroad, and his advocacy of The
measure was only professed, and that lie be
longed body and soul to the Pacific Mai
Steamship Company, will now find their en-
venomed ISLANDERS to recol upon themselves
The man who can read Mr. Gwin's lat
speech and then declare that he is endeav
oring to obstruct the building of Railroad
is either devoid of candor or so foolshl,
blinded by personal or partizan prejudice a
to be unable to do justice to Senator Gwr
This speech will efectually crush the stal
falsehood; and the man who attempts to re
peat it hereafter, must do so in the hop
that he will only have fools for believers.

SINGULAR BEeUEsr.-For many years past
a German apothecary, named John killing
ling, has resided with his maiden sister, at
Lebanon, Warren county, in this State. He
was penurous in habit, and although it was
generally known that he was wealthy, there
were but few who even guessed at 1.-THE of
his riches. On Saturday last he was taken
with sudden fit of sickness, which baf1ed
the efforts of the medical men who were
called in, and shortly after the attack he ex-
pired, when upon opening the will it was
found that he died leaving the enormous
amount of S75O,OOO worth of property in
this country and in Germany. His direction
for the disposition Of this enormous sum is
equally novel and unsophisticated. By his
will it is provided that the money shall be
deposited in bank, the principal never to
be touched, but the interest to be devoted
to the education of the Protestant Germans
