The Inland Sea of Lower ca,lrorn,..


This is one of the greatest and most in
teresting discoveries of the age. The Alta
Californian has been furnished with the fol
lowing fall description of it:
Though few natives and Indians have
been aware of the fact. it evidently is un.
known to geOgraphers, for in no published
maps, from the earliest period down to the
present time, is any such body of water
laid down. That the lake exists there can
be no question, as is evidenced by whaling
captains now in port In length it reaches
from latitude 26 degrees 40 minutes to 2s
degrees 4 minutes, or something less than
one hundred miles, aud in width extends
from twenty to fifty miles, giving it an ir.
regular shape. One of our informants,
Mr.. Selim E. Woodwork, who has recent.
ly returned from that locality, gives Us
some interesting details of this lake or bay.
This body of water was first discovered
for all practical purposes by Captain Seam.
mon, of the whaling ship Ocean Bird, Of
this port, who entered it three years ago,
and quickly filed up his ship there. He
found the waters OF tie sea, as he terms it,
abounding in whales, the females resortiug
thither, between December aud April, to
calve He kept the discovery a secret, and
on the following season went there again,
with the same success, and exciting the
wonder of his compeers in the whaling bust.
ness at his unaccountable luck.
At last bis mate, who had brother COM
manding wheler in the Northern seas,
wrote to the latter at the Sandwich Islands,
informing him of the fact, and the news
thus getting abroad, eighteen whalers came
over from Honolulu last season, and some
succeeded in effccting an entrance. Others
were unable to do so, owing TO the intrlca,
cy of the channel. Ship Black Warrior
was lost ia the attempt, and after that,
part of the fleet getting scared at the place
left and never returned. Those that euter-
ed, however last season, got well repaid for
their enterprise, and the Ocean Bird, par
ticuarly, made another good thing OUT Of
it. The news is now thoroughly circulated
among the whalers of Honolulu, and in a
short time there will be over fifty vessels on
the way there.
The channel lies some distance north Of
the twenty,seYsnth parallel Of latitude, or
below he southern end of Cedros Island
The land is low and sandy, aud covered
with stunted shrubbery, which, however, is
invisible at some distance at sea. The sea
breaks heavily in bad weather, two miles
out, and owing 10 this aud the fact that
the channel is crooked. the approach Is diff

About the only really interesting feature Of
the great Union-saving meeting in New York,
was the letter OF ex-President Fillmore The
wholesome truths it tells, and its out-spoken
manly tone, commend it to favor, and go far to
soften the effect Of his Albany speech during
the last presidential canvass. 1t must have had
a refreshing influence upon meeting that had
no admonilion to utter against the treason SEN
timents which have been the staple Of nearly all
the democratic speeches in congress during the
present session. Here is a sample
'In an evil hour, this Pandora'S box of
slavery was again opened by what | con-
ceive to be an unjuStitiahe attempt TO force
slavery into Kansas by the repeal of the
Missouri Compromise, and the flood of evils
now swelling and threatening to overthrow
the Constitution, and sweep away the foun.
dations Of the government itself, and del
uge this land with fraterDal blood, may all
be traced to this unfortunate act. What
ever might have been the motive, few acts
have ever been so barren of good, and so
fruitful Of evil. The contest has exasperat-
ed the public mind, North and South, and
engendered feelings of distrust, and, may
say hate, that fear it will take years to
wear away. The Iamentahle tragedy at
Harper'S Ferry is clearly traceable to this
unfortunate controversy about slavery in
Kansas"

DR. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.-We perceive
that discussion has been raised in one OF
the English papers, as to whether Dr.
Franklin was, or was not an infidel. Who.
ever considers the American philosopher as
atheistical, commits great error, and ex-
poses objectionable ignorance. At the
opening of the National Convention for
