Ss~ The population of California, by the return of
the United States Marehas who have taken the census
is only 375,947. The California papers had claimed at
least half million, and they now contend that the pop
uaon, returned falls fully onehird short of the re-
atty The county of San Francisco is put at 57,O33
1t may be that the census-takers have not done full
justice to the population of the Golden State but it
certain that great Misrepresentation has existed on that
score, because people have been apt to fancy that its
whole population bore something like the same proper
ton to the vote cast that find existing in the older
States. From the immense preponderance of grown
men over women and children the vote of California is
twice as large, in proportion to population as that
most of the old States

In our exchanges received this morning we find sun
dry rumors and reports Geographic and otherwise to
the effect that several light Graft vessels indeed nearly
all the available light draft vessels belonging to the
General Government had been got ready for sea, and
that they had beens supplied with arms provisions and
men. The report was that the Crusader, Mohawk,
Harriet Lane national vessels and the Steamers En-
pire City and Star of the West, merchant vessels,
under orders to leave New FORK on last Wednesday
night, supposed destination Southwark, to supply and
reinforce the forts still in possession of the United
States The South Carolina authorities on the
alert and there is little chance Of their going to Charles
ton.
It is also said that the Schooner M. P. Hudson sail
ed from New York Tuesday for Fort johnson, N.
c., with a cargo OF provisions, cannon, etc. Fort
Johnson is merely depot or barracks and not fortlh
cation
| Among the other reports is that the squadron
from New York is to be joined by other war vessels
from Norfolk The Crusader and Mohawk are poor
affairs The Harriet Lane is good Steam Revenue
Cutter and carries five guns but is too light to
stand hard service.
We do not know how much Importance to attach to
these rumours We rather think that vessels haze been
ordered South but cannot think that such feeble
fota would be sent to place fortified like Charles
ton. They might attempt to land handful of men on
the coast boats but it would only be sending them to
absolute destruction or capture.
The authorities at every point in the seeded States
have no doubt been warned
We will shortly see what the Developments will be-
rather suppose that there is truth in the fact that
the Hudson has sailed with the Stores etc. for Fort
johnson.
1t proper to say that of the is that the
Crusader has been ordered to Charleston to take of
Major Anderson and his men, which she could only dc
under flag of truce.
It is said that Attorney General Bates has been bust
y engaged in ascertainng if there is any law to collect
the revenues outside of port and that his abors have
thus far been abortive He has ascertaned that no e
gal exist by which to enforce the collection of The
revenue. If President Lincoln decides that he must
collect the revenues of the seeded States extra
sion of Congress will be called. Upon the Calling O
extra session. and its action when called will depend
the all-important question of peace or war.

Veto nf President Davis.

The following is the Message of President Davis
communicating to Congress his reasons for vetong the
Slave Trade Bill:
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
February %, 1861.
Gentlemen of Congress With sincere deterence to
the Judgment of Congress, have carefully CONSIDERED
the Bill in relation to the Slave Trade, and to punish
persons offending therein, but have not been able 10
approve it. and therefore, do return it with statement
of my objections
The constitutions seven, article one-provdes
that the importation of African negros from any foreign
country other than slaveholdng States OF the United
States is hereby forbidden and Congress required to
pass such laws as shall efectualy prevent the same
he rule herein given emphatic and distinctly directs
the legislation which shall efectuay prevent the lmpor-
tation of African Negroes The Bill before me denoun-
ces as high msdemeanor the importation of African ne
or other of color either to be sold as slaves
or to be held to service labor axiDg heavy degra-
ding penalties on the act if done with such intent. 10
that extent it accords with the requirements OF the con-
stitution but in the sixth section of the Bill provision
is made for the transfer Of persons who may have been
illegally imported into the Confederate States to the
custody of foreign States or societies. upon condition
deportation and future freedom and the proposition
thus to surrender them shall not be accepted 1t IS then
made the duty of the President to cause said negros to
be sold at public outcry to the highest bidder III any one
OF the States where such sale shall not be inconsistent
with the laws thereof. This provision seems to me II
opposition to the policy declared in the constitution.
The prohibition Of the importation OF African negros
and derogaton of its mandates to leglsate for the eec
uaton of that object, wherefore the Bill is returned TO
you for your further consideration and together with
the objections, most respectfully submitted.
(Signed) JEFFERSON DAVIS.

R~ Yesterday was the 18th, and therefore, chrome
logically speaking, entitled to be considered Saint Pat
rcks day but it having been announced that as yes
terday, the l7th Sunday today the l8th would be
observed the clerk of the weather took the hint-post
poned the rain until this morning, and is ceIebrat
ing the day with the traditional puviosty due to the
occasion. sanity calendar says :-43l-Ireand con-
verted by Saint Patrick March 17th If Saint Patrick
converted Ireland on the 18th March A. D. 43l, he
must have been mighty preacher, or that must have
been mighty long day, there must have been very
few people. 1t could never have been done again in
any one day.
We don't think that Saint Patrick is to blame for
the kind of weather that always prevails his teSta-
The Equinox is altogether at fault The Sun enters the
first part of Aries the Ram the 2ls day of March
and this accounts for the Equnoctal gales coming full
butt Saint Patrick, bringing tears to his eyes and
causing the weeping appearance of things generally.
But in the good Saints own old land, the 18th oil
March is cold enough to be suggestive of hot punch and
the Celtic intellect is quick at taking hint or a sugges
tion especially in the form of punch. Truth compes
US to say that Saint Patrick never took punch in his
life, nor knew what punch was, the use of distilled
spirits having been discovered by the Arabs centuries
after his time. Old King Alcohol is not near as old
man as ST. Patricks day in the morning.
