SATURDAY EVENING, JAN. 10, 1861.

ExPUN0ING RESOLUTIONS have
been circulated and numerously signed, in
San Francisco and other places, asking the
Legislature TO expunge from the journals
Of the Senate and Assembly, the resolutions
censuring Broderick for an alledged refusal
to obey instructions. When the resolutions
we're adopted, nearly two years ago, we
stated that they would eventually either be
expunged from the journals, or others adop-
ted indicating change Of sentiment in re.
gard to the course Of Senator Broderick on
the Lecompton question. We have never
had doubt that the people Of Califor-
nia would eventually do justice TO the men,
ory of Broderick, and we hope the resolu-
tions will be expunged during the present
session; but whether II is done this year or
next, is perhaps matter of no great conse-
quence. It appears the Republicans and
Breckinridgers are urging the introduction
Of expunging resolutions, IN the hope of di-
viding and breaking up the Douglas party
"a very shallow political maneuver, to say
the least-for the question can have no ef-
feet upon the future politics Of this State.

GOLD CoINs.-If our gold coins were
made thinner aud broader, it is believed
that much fraud would thereby be prevent
cd. Cunning and skillful forgers freqently
split our thick gold pieces through the mid
die, cut out a portion of the gold, then fill
up the interim with inferior metal, press the
whole together, and remill the edge. 1t is
very difficult to detect such frauds; but if
the coins were made thinner, the rogues
would find barrier TO tho success Of their
nefarious practices.

THE HURDY GURDIEs IN BONNEVILLE.
Three girls we're tried at Downieyille, on
Wednesday of last week, under the law making
it a misdemeanor for "any female child under
seventeen to dance for hire" The oldest was
accused Of hiring her sisters to dance, and the
younger ones Of dancing for hire. The jury
brought in verdict of not guilty as to the two
eldest, and guilty as TO the youngest, who was
mulcted in the sum Of seventy dollars, the
amount of the costs. The sympathy Of the spec
tators, as we learn from the Citizen, was mani
festly with the girls, as it appeared they had
borne good character for propriety, and were,
withal, uncommonly good looking.

THE PAH-UTEs.-From Mr.. Ludlam, who
resides on the Carson river, near Ragtown, we
learn that party of Pah-Utahs. who were
camped near the Sink of the Humboldt. sent q
deputation into Fort Churchill, to state that
they desired peace and wished an Indian Agent
TO be sent among them, as they heard OCCASION
ally in their intercourse with the whites, that
they (the whites) wanted to fight them. They
said they desired peace and wished the whites
to prospect, but to use them right. They fur
ther stated that the northern Indians were be-
ligerant. The Chief-the elder Winnemucca,
who made the statement-was disposed to rule
all Indians out of his tribe, who wouldnot obey
his orders. They seem to desire that the whites
should thoroughly understand their POSITION

STATE PRISON OUTBREAK.-On Wednes-
day afternoon, desperate outbreak Oc-
Cured at the State Prison. The main gate
of the prison had been opened, to admit a
water cart, when about forty convicts who
were in the yard rushed upon their guards,
seized them and commenced making their
escape. The armed guards on The walls
opened fire on the prisoners, who, finding
the project too dangerous to carry ont, re-
turned to their places. One or two of the
guards were slightly injured, three convicts
were killed dead, and seventeen others bad
ly wounded. Among the killed was con-
vict named Bagley, the ringlcader.

ASSEMBLY ORGANIzED.-We noticed in
our last issue, that Mr., Burnell, of Amador,
Lad been elected Speaker Of the Assembly.
lie was elected by the votes of the Douglas
Democrats who stood by Conness and the
Republicans few Douglas men and the
Breckinrldgers voting for Wood of Plumas.
After the election o! a Speaker the Assem-.
bly, proceeded to ballot for Clerk, Sergeant
alarms, and other officers, and oil the
Douglas nominees we're elected without diff
iiculty. 1t was expected that the Govern
or's message would be sent in yesterday,
and we shall probably receive It by the
stage this evening.

LATER PROM CnINA.-By the Pony express
we have later news from China than has
been received here direct. On the 18th of
December, intelligence was received in Lon
don, through St. Petersburg. from Pekin,
to November 9th, which stated that peace
had been concluded between the allies and
the Emperor of China on the Goth of Oeto-
Der, and ratincatious were exchanged No

Sonora. They, since their repulse in Sonora
by Pesquiera, had congregated at point some
Is miles above Tubac, on the Santa Cruz river,
within the territory of the United States, and
numbered one hundred and fifty men. They
were organized for another foray into Sonora,
collecting reinforcements, and awaiting sup
plies Of money and arms.

G. T.. SCOTT ON SECESSION.

Cs lie SCOII ON ChCGtC5AONs
The Bulletin of Wednesday, publishes a
letter written by Hon. c. L. Scott to Mr..
Chas. Lindley, Chairman Of the Breckin-
ridge Committee. The letter Is dated De-
cember 2lst, and is general review Of the
state of the country from South Carolina
standpoint. He totally dissents from the
opinion expressed by Mr.. Latham, that in
the event of secession California would re-
main with the Northwest. He says the
Union is gone beyond doubt, and the
fourth of March will certainly see seven or
eight States out, with strong probability
that the border slave States will follow. He
thinks if coercion is not attempted the gov
ernment may possibly be reconstructed,
provided the Northern masses will return
to their senses, and grant what the fanatics
of the South call their constitutional rights.
He would make any personal sacrifice to
preserve the Union, bat in his "heart Of
hearts" he warmly sympathizes with the
Cotton States, and cordially indorses and
fully justifes them in not remaining in the
Union" under Lincoln's administration.
Mr.. Scott gives notice, that in case two
confederacies are formed, he will "strenu-
ousiy advocate the secession Of California,
aud the establishment ofa separate repub-
lie on the Pacific SLOPE" and advances some
absurd ideas 10 show that ii would be to the
interest of California to set up an independ-
ent government. He thinks that the North
will be completely ruined by the secession,
and if California links its destiny with that
section she will be heavily taxed to support
the government, without receiving any ben
eft in return. If, (as Mr.. Scott and few
fanatics strongly apprehend) New York
city also secedes, and becomes a free trade
city, the North will be reduced to such de-
plorable condition, that tax, in the shape
of seignorage, will be exacted from the
miners of California, in order to raise rev.
enue for the support Of this bogus govern
ment of the North. He then dilates some
what upon the advantages of Pacific Re-
public, and closes his letter in blaze OF
sensation patriotism. In this line, he does
not attempt to soar quite as high as his col
league, Burch, and for that reason is more
successful
Mr.. Scott's opinions may have great
weight in Washington city, but his influence
is not very extensive in California. His
attempt to frighten the miners into the sup
port Of Pacific Republic scheme is very
silly, to say the least. 1t is only the elias:
Of politicians of which Scott Is fair repre-,
sentative, who have nothing to lose and ev-
erything to gain by the breaking up of the
government, that favor Pacific Republic
But the miners do not feel that the General
Government has oppressed them, and they
are more inclined to trust their interests
with Congress than with California Legis
lature.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-01-19

THE BEAR FLAG.-One Duncan Beaumont,
County Surveyor OF San Joaquin, recently
raised the Bear Flag on little sloop be-
longing to him, at Stockton. lie evidently
wished to make himself notorious, and to
express his admiration of the idea of a
Pacific Republic. The Argus says that i'm
dlatcly afterward, the Flag of our Union
was hoisted all over the city.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-01-19

BURcH's LErTER-The Shasta Courier
thus alludes to Burch's letter, recommend
ing a Pacific Confederacy:
Mr.. Burch's effort at letter-wr1ting has pro-
duced many disrespectful efforts Of sarcasm
The fact is, the style of the letter is not Addi-
sonian at all. Neither has it much of the Web
sterian ring. We admit that our junior Con-
gresham wields heavy and uncouth pen, and
puts words into sentences with surprising
lack of smoothness. But what Of thatl He
has made himself understood, and that we pre-
sumo was all he was striving after. We admit
that he should not, just before the assembling
of Congress, have written such letter, but his
writing it was not half so bad as the indiscre-
ton Of his friend in publishing it. We also
admit that Mr.. Burch should never attempt to
write "sensation" letter, for the reason that,
for lack Of deality he can never rise to an alti-
tude equal to such an effort. Lippard, for in
stance, or Gov. McGofin, of Kentucky, could
"beat him like d-n, and give him two in the
game" at that sort of thing. So could Pickett.

STAGE LIHEs.-The California Stage Com
pany have eight different stage routes on
the Pacific coast, embracing 1908 miles IN
the aggregate. They give employment TO
1873 men as drivers and hostlers, beside
number of Office and road agents. Beside
this. there are nine independent stage lines
in the State, embracing AGA miles of service.
All of these lines radiate from Sacramento,
and amount in the aggregate to 1857 miles

ESCAPE OF MURDERER.-W Fitzgerald,
convicted recently, at Carson City, of the
murder of Martin Burke, and sentenced to
be hanged on the I'd of February, made his
escape from prison on the evening of the
Sth inst. AT latest dates the Sheriff, with
posse, was in pursuit of him.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-01-19

MORE DIsUNIoN.-The editor of the Pacific
Methodist, writing from Stockton, says that an
unfortunate spirit" exists there among the
colored brethren hailing from the Northern and
Southern sections. An "irrepressible conflict"
is waging, such as viii require the Intervention
Of the most powerful conservative element to
prevent serious consequences.

Compound Extract OF Sarsaparilla,

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is COM
bincd from the most active remedials that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the of
mot only Scrofula, but also those other affec-
tions which arise from it, such as ERurr1vE
and SKIN DISEASES, Sr. ANTHosf's FIRE,
ROSE, or ERYsIrELAs, PINrLEs, PusruLEs,

indeed, AI.I. COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VITA
TED OR IMrURB BLOOD. The popular belief
in in,purity Of the blood" is founded in truth,
for scrofula is degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa-
rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.
