LATER FROM CALIFORNIA.

From the Alta CQtlf0Tn2u o. HuTch
WARS IN THE WIND.-Mr. Thorn, on Saturday,
introduced in the Senate bill amendatory of the
Constitution, proposing new State Boundary line.
synopsis of this bill will be found in the letter OF
our Sacramento correspondent. The bill IS nothing
more nor less than proposition to divide the State
setting off that portion south of the thirtysix de-
gree of latitude separate territory, and leaving
that portion north of this line, as comprising the
State proper 1t requires no very close examina-
ton of the subject to discover a movement that
has for its eventual end the erection of this portion
of California that is to be set off and Arizona INTO
new State. In this way both population ana
territory will be obtained to warrant the formation
of a State, aud new theatre will be opened for
the ambitious desires of those politicians who are
leading in the mo vement. The movement will bear
a close scrutiny. There is much to be said on both
sides of the question of dividing the State, and we
may have occasion hereafter to refer to it more at
length.
AQUEOUS ERUPTION IN NEVADA CoUNTY.-The Sac
remento Standard gives the following particulars
of a remarkable phenomenon of nature winch oc-
Cured on Saturday morning, Feb. 10th, at 3
o'clock, West Hill, mining point situated Tour
miles east of Grass Valley, and of which he was an
eve witness:
"Michael Cullen and Joseph McChesney were en-
gagged working on an open cut, with view To
drain the hill, which contained numerous springs OF
water. At the upper end of the cut they had OBJ
tanned perpendicular depth of about thirty-hve
feet when the indications were OF a kind to excite
suspicion of danger. They therefore removed their
tools as expeditiously possible, and had barely
made their escape when an eruption of water ano
sand took place, washing violently through the cut
increasing its width by the ABRASION and extending
around in every direction till an area OF i've or siz
acres was opened into an immense crater, belchln&
| forth water and sand. .
Trees were undermined, and, falling into the Doll
ing vortex, snapped of as though they had beer
dried sticks. Continuing its headlong course.
terrific volume of water descended into Buena Wis
ia creek, tearing away the hills, displacng ponder
boulders precipitating stumps, logs, trees am
everything in its path, into the valley below tiel'
belonging to Mr.. Kelly, and under cultivation, wa
covered in spots, to the depth of fifteen and twenty
feet. The ranch of Mr.. McCarty, lower down OF
the creek, was materially injured; and the rancl
| of Mr.. TAYLOR, still lower down, sustained damag
to the extent of several thousands of dollars. Mi
ners were driven from their claims--some with tn
loss of tools, improvements, sluiceboxes, &c, an
Others to behold the labor OF years destsoyed, DC
yond the hope of profit reclamation. The spec
tacle notwithstanding its serious results is descrit
ed as having been sublime.
