RETRENcHMENT OF ExPENsEs.-Mr. Conk-
lin, member of Congress from New York,
has presented bill for the retrenehment of
national expenses, which embodies the fol-
lowing ideas:
l. A reduction of twenty five per cent. -
on all salaries, civil, naval and military,
amounting to $4,000 year or over inciu-
ding emoluments
2. A similar reduction of twenty per-
cent. where the salaries and emoluments
are over S., 900 and under $4,000.
3. Similar reduction of twenty per cent.
on compensations between $4,000 and S.
600.
4. ~he reduction of salaries of members
of Congress to $4,000 per anum, subject to a
forfeiture of $40 for each time that a member
does not answer to his name on call of the
ayes and noes, and the reduction of milage
to ten cents per mile from the post Office near
est the members residence to Washington
City, estimated by the nearest mail route.
3. The absolute and total abolition of the
franking privilege.
8. The cessation of the system of ap
pointing supernumerary officials, and the
reduction of the officials in all the Depart
ments of the Government to the number act
ually requisite for the proper transaction of
business.

A FALSE ALARM is that about scarcity of
-four and other food. There is more wheat
and flour in the State, says an exchange, by
all the accounts of the last harver d al
lowing for reported losses and p6zents,
than can possibly be consuPaed during the
year. Does not every one KRIS that the mo-
ment there is a prospect of, f,p1aking importa-
TIN pay the isast profit n ass i,ulured or
ders for shipment of wheat and -four will be
telegraphed from San Francisco to the East.
and sent to Valparaiso and other Pacific
ports?
That agriculture is to be in disuse in Cal
ifornia, even temporarily, is a mistake
The overfiowed land. will produce more po-
tatoes, beets and such vegsables, than last
year The deposits made by the foods will
insure this. Barley and wheat can be sown
in the Spring, and produce good crops. For
years, farmers in some of the Northwestern
States raised but little Winter wheat. The
soil was loose. or they had not learned to
plow deep enough, or for some other reason
wheat sown in the Fall was raised out bv
the Winter frosts. Yet they did not suffer.
Spring wheat suffced.
The Southern part of the State, where our
fat cattle come from, has been improved by
the rains. Scarcely any stock lost by high
water, and the grazing is lrxuriant Cat
tie are in better condition than for many a
year before.
All predictions of a panic by reason of q
scarcity of food will prove mistaken.

Latest from China.

The bark Benefactor arrived at San Fran
cisco on the Sd, with dates from Hong Kong
to Me 5th December, being nine days later
reYious advices The Alta has the
forYwing:
HE TAPPING rebellion appears to be gain
ingEround to the southeast of Shanghae
while the Southern rebellion had shifted its
ground from the neighborhood of Cherfoo
and no additional intelligence had been re-
ceiyed. The braves at Hantow had threat
ened the foreigners with determination.
An anti foreign outbreak had occurred neal
Canton.
The Council of Regency had been dismiss
ed by the execution of three of its principal
members, and the banishment Imprisonment
and degradation of the other five. The EN-.
press is sole Regent, and Prince Kung is
Prime Minister. The late Emperor had two
brothers, both living, the elder being the
Prince Kung, and the other Prince Yee
hwan, the Prince of China. Both of these
are young men, and under the age of thirty
the Emperor being a boy of nine, and ynot
the son of the Empress elect, but of another
wife. There are, therefore, two dowagel
Expresses.
Kweil-lang, who negotiated the Tiens-tein
treaty with Lord Elgin, is reinstated in pow
er.
The Tapping rebellion had assumed mosl
formidable aspect near Shaughae, the insur
gents having invested that place and threat
ened to exterminate foreigners should they
interfere with them. The foreigners had
fortified themselves, and the British and
French troops were making vigorous prepa-
rations to defend themselves.
From Ningpo the intelligence is much
worse, as the Insurgents had abandoned their
old system of warfare, and are reported to
occupy places without committing any of the
atrocities which have made their name SO In
famous. The Tai-pings have overrun the
entire neighborhood West of Hanging the
Imperialists have it all their own way
Man stealing in China had received set
back. The people of a village called Kin
chow-wong had risen against the agent of a
French ship, the Vile D'Agen, which was
loading cargo of coolies for Psru, and kill
ed thrde of the crew. The vessel left, andin
endcaxering,f = make an of6ng, struck on the
bar, :sAd had to come to Hong Kong for re-
pairs. Here the local authorities took the
matter up, and the parties were arrested.

SLIGHT NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. n. Y.
Freeman's Journal tells story of a worthy,
who, with only an incipient knowledge of
our vernocular, enlisted in the army, and
was sent to do guard duty. 8 Sentinel, F"
said the officer of the day, your duty at this
place is to salute all officers according to
their rank, to keep fire from the magazine,
and in case the enemy appears, you are to
discharge your musket, and run to the camp.
Do you UNDERESTIMATE "Yes, lieutenant" !"
he replied. 1t happened, little later, on
being questioned, that he understood he had
been instructed to shoot all officers of rank,
and then set fire to the magazine and, if he
saw an enemy, to run away.

EIGHT Persons AND FOURTEEN HORSES
KILLED.-We learn from two gentlemen who
arrived in Forest Hill on Friday evening,
direct from Carson Valley, hy the Placeryilla
route, that on Sunday morning last. at or
near Strawberry Valley, dreadful ava
lanche occurred, which destroyed public
house. barn and other buildings. besides kill

utes previous, and returned to witness the

APPOINTMENT OF TExAs.-Among the
novel propositions of the day is one which
embraces the seizure of Texas which the
blood and treasure of Uncle Sam so literally
paid, for and her division among an emigra-
tion from the North, the Northwest and the
various foreign nations. The secessionists
having expelled the Germans from Texas,
are thus in some danger of being expelled
themselves 1t is said now to be a matter of
certainty that Texas will revert to the Union
at the first hostile demonstration against
her, In the language of an Eastern ex
change: !" The utmost confidence is felt
that when demonstration is made on the
Texan coast it will be successful achiev
ment. The State is full of revolt against the
sccessionists, and so, with its Indians on its
frontiers, our fleets on its coasts, and our ar
my on its soil, nothing can prevent the frui-
tion Of the grand thought of giving it up to a
vigorous and enterprising emigration"
