reports to the Legislature, that the expenses
already incurred by the Convention, are 81,

been contributed in San Francisco and Sacra-
mento, about $780, He suggests, that 1O, 900
copies If all the proceedings of both sessions
of the Convention, be printed by the State
Printer. He is informed and believes. that
the session of the Convention, which is to
take place in Sacramento in February next.
will De ftaught with great consequence to
the State. Members have been entrusted by
the Convention with investigation as to diff.
ferent resources of this State and statistics of
all Kinds. He believes, that "the spreading
of those documents over our whole country
and Europe, if it should not have the imme-
date effect of building the road, will tend
greatly to establish the patent fact that the
natural resources Of California, and the abili
ties of its inhabitants, both in mental attain
hents, as well as in their practical applica-
ton, are second to none of any State or
Commonwealth in the world"

The DIGNITY OF HUMANITY IN CHINA
Those make great mistake who confound
the Chinese with other Asiatics, and suppose
them to have similar characteristics. Not
withstNnding its nominally despotic govern
ment, China is the most democratic country
in the world. Nowhere else has public
opinion greater power, and there is wonder
ful social equality. The poorest man in a
village will come and sit beside the headman,
smoke pipe and drink tea q servant often
mingles familiarity in the conversation which
is going on at his masters table; and if you
choose to dine along with your Coolies they
will neither regard it as a condescension nor
presume upon it. Officers accustomed to
Indian servility are apt to think the Chinese
impudent; but what they mistake for that is
sort of manly independence which the
Chinese appear to have enjoyed decades Of
centuries Hongkong MdA.

7 RUMoRED BATTLE AT CoLMA-A cores.
pondent of the Alta, writing from Mazatlan,
Jan. Sth, says:
After MARQUEE was called to Mexico, TO
settle that 100000 robbery of his, General
Miramon, a brother of the President. took
command, and Immediately made prepara-
tions to march with his whole force upon
Ogazon, then at Colima. OF the result of his
movements we have. as yet, had no definite
accounts, but rumors have reached us of the
defeat of Miramon, and certain losses suffer.
ed while yesterday, by a vessel from San
Bias, we hear Of the defeat of Ogazon. and
the return of Miramon TO Mexico, to settle
some difficulty there. Time alone can tell
which of these accounts is true. We do not
believe it possible that Ogazon is defeated
as his position was a most excellent one. and
his force equal to that of Miramon; should
it be true, however, we may expect the army
up this way before long, within a month,
and then we shall see, what we shall SEE
Much dedends upon the movements Of Alva
rez upon Mexico, whether Miramon comes
this way or goes to assist his brother-we
have to await the result of these movements.
We have here, about 1000 men under
arms, distributed among the small towns in
this vicinity, for more economy, and all can
be concentrated at any enc point on the road
at few days notice. 7 We have also a good
park ofartilery, of good caibre, and plenty
of ammunition, shot, she'll and canister, but
should Miramon march upon us with his
force 6 ,O0O) we should have to evacuate
the city, and retire north, and then retake it
after its occupation, which would be much
easier than to defend it against a superior
force In Mexico, the party that attacks wins

land Plaindcaler is not fond Of dignifed pee
pie, Gas the term is generally accepted" The
biggest pudding head he ever knew wore
gold bowed spectacles, and was digni6ed; :;
never lowered, and said 'jokes was low"
This dignity" quoth said editor "is a queer
thing. 1t swells in one-horse lawyers, like
uncooked dried apples, and breaks out on
them iii the shape Of frizzled up hair, pea
cock strut, and linked finger nails. Judges
sometimes have it. They deliver the fiattest
of truisms III the gravest Of tones, and sit as
though they were spiked to their benches.
Editors are sometimes dignifed-we know
of some that are excessively so; they print
exclusively for our church, they walk soberly
and cautiously in the same old path, use the
same old threadbare expressions from day to
day-from year to year. With these digni-
fed and starch stiff journalists vile murder
is an "unfortunate occurrence" the details
being "too revolving for their columns" lfa
man lies they say he is "laboring under a

Montgomery, President of the Royal Hawa-

annual report to the Association:
Tobacco which some years ago prom
ised to be remunerative crop, has utterly
disappointed all those who had the misfortune
to meddle with it. Having myself been one
of its victims and having examined closely
into the causes why an article which, so far
as appearances were criterion, seemed first
rate, should have proved so utter failure, l
have satisfied myself that all the tobacco
raised here abouts an exuberance of saltpetre
from the soil, which prevents its burning in
cigars and so renders it unsaleable; and in.
as much as this difficulty is beyond the reach
of remedy,w may look upon the matter as

SOLID BoTToM SHIPs.--The late steamship
disaster must bring to the mind of every per.
son at all conversant with nautical affairs the
importance of building steamships with solid
bottoms--that is with the timbers of the bot.
tom placed closely together, so that the seams
may be caulked like the bends of ship.
But few steamers are built in this manner,
and the result is that whenever a ship not
so constructed touches bottom, or a rock Just
hard enough to tear off her planking, she
sinks beyond redemption. The Northerner
was an instance of that. Had she been So
lid bottom ship, the ripping off of her plank
ing as she passed over the rock would not
have caused her to sink, for the compact ma.
ture of the timbers would have presented a
surface to the water which if not actually
water tight, would have been nearly enough
! so to enable the crew to keep her afoat with
the pumps. In this instance, however. the
moment the planking was removed immense
openings were presented and the ship rapid

WENDELL PHILLIPS ON JOIN BRowN.-The
editor of the Troy Arena, having had an in
terview with Wendell Phillips, says:
We put the question squarely: Were you
previously acquainted with John Browns
intentions to set up standard ofinsurrection
in Virginia? and we received an equally
square and decisive answer-No. MIR. P.
further stated that he was personally but
little acquainted with John Brown, and had
met him but few times, and on these occa-
sions, whenever the subject of stampeding
slaves had been broached, he had discouraged
and discountenanced it, and he had not aided
Brown with either money or advice Mr.
Phillips further added that he believed, new
erthless that insurrection for the purpose of
obtaining liberty on the part of the slaves
was right "but that many things that were
right were not expedient." In answer to the
question: Would you respond to a summons
to appear before the Senate Committee Of
Congress? he replied that he would.
