For California. The fine steamship Crescent City, Capt. Stod- dard, left yeeterday afternoon, ox her first voyage to Chagres. The crowds of persons, of all classes, assembled on the docks and rigging of the vessels im the neighborhood, to witness her departure, ‘were immense; and the enthusiasm ot both pas- wengers and epectators was unbounded. Hun- dreds were attracted thither by curiosity, while the majority came to bid a hurried farewell to to their adventurous friends. Whe's the vessel moved off from the pier, the excitement became intense, and the parting salutations and cheers, on both sides, were loud and long, and continued,until the noble ship passed beyond the reach of hearing. She carries out but about 130, all tollu—a much smaller number than was anticipated. The diffi- culties, many of which are imaginary, to contend with im crossing the Isthmus, as given in the pa- pers from day to day, intimidated hundreds who were bent upon traversing this route. The steamer Isthmus leaves for the same port on Monday, touching at Savannah, Havana, and New Orleans. We have not ascertained how many have entered for passage. The coming week will send hundreds on their journey to the Pacific, by way of Cape Horn, as this conveyance seems to have gained much popu- Jarity during the last few days. It has many ad- vantages, to say nothing of the comforts and the assurances it offers in the way of living. Ship- owners have taken advantage of this, as is evident by the number of vessels now advertised for Ca- lifornia, Many of them, upon reaching their destination, will be converted into floating board- ing or lodging houses, until something better in their legitimate business offers. The list now up comprises every class of vessels, from the schooner of 60 tons to the ship of 800, and for this trade many of them are exceedingly wellcaleulated. The list, since our last notice, has been enlerged by the addition of the ship Norma, belonging to Messrs. Spofford, jTileston, & Co., the bark Express, Messrs. Jones & Johnson, of Wall street, who have also a beautiful brig, which they intend to follow the Express, and will sail about the 15th of J anuary. The Expresg sails about the first of next week. As an evidence of the excitement consequent on the discovery of the gold mines of California, we can state upon good authority, that the ship-bread bakers in this city have more orders offered them than they can possibly execute for several weeks. One ship-bread baker, not a twelve month in busi- ness, received, on Friday, orders for one hundred and twenty thousnie Pounds navy bread, and could caly supply, by the 8th January nexi, 79,000 lbs., equivalent to 500 barrels of flour. The Newark Advertiser says:-- ‘We understand that Capt. Geo. W. Taylor, late of the United States Army, of Hunterdon county, N. J., is about organising a trading and mining company for Colifornia, The ciation will consist of twelve mem- bers, and they design shipping immediately a large amount of goods and implements to the bay of San sagem’ es ane yon leave the Western fron- r al ie middle of February, and proceed over- land to California, Rina everest —- The Administration and California. DerantMent or State, Wa ton, October 7, 1848, } Wirtiam V. Voornies, Esq Sin,—Previous to your departure for California, the President has instructed meto make known, through our agency, to the citizens of the United States inha- iting that territory, his views respecting their pre- sent condition and future prospects. He deems it pro- © to amplas fom rs Yan Hater General bas appolated you an agent, dite tite «act to establish certain post routes,” approved Aug. 14, 1848, “to make arrangements for the establish- ment of post offices, and for the transmission, receipt, and conveyance of letters in Oregon and California.”? ‘The President congratulates the citizens of Cali- nm the annexation of their fine Hepner to the States, On the 30th of May, 1848, the day on whieh the ratifications of our late treaty with Mexico were exchanged, California finally became an integral and glorious republic —and the act of to which I have already referred, in express it to “be within the territory of the United Stat May this union be perpetual. The people of Calitornia may viction, that the government and State il never abandon them, or p: feel the firmest con- people of the United rove unmindful of their prorperity. Their fate and their fortunes are now indissolubly united with that of their bre- thr on this side of the Rocky Et Et ropitious this event, bothfor them and Whilst the other nations of the world are distract by domestic dissension, and are involved in # strug- Ma between the privil of the fe nd the rights of the many, heaven has blessed our happy land with a government which secures equ rights to all our citi- zens, and has produced peace, happiness, and content- ment throughout our borde: It has ‘combined lib- erty with erder, and all the sacred and in feasible rights of the citizen with the strictest observance of law. Satisfied with the institutions under which we live, each individual is therefore left free to promote his own prosperity and happiness in the manner most in accordance with bis own judgment. ‘Under such «constitution and such laws, the pros- pects of Califernia are truly encouraging. Blessed ‘with » wild and salubrious climate and a fertile soil— rich in mineral resources—and extending over nearly, ten degrees of latitude along the coast of the Pacific with come of the finest harbors in the world, the ima- gination can scarcely fix a limit to its future wealth and prosperity. ‘We behold, in the not distant future, one or more Jorious States of this confederacy springing into ex- Tienes in California, governed by institutions similar to our own, andextending the blessings of religion, liberty, and law over that vast region. Their free and ‘unrestricted commerce and intercourse with the other States of the Union, will confer mutual benefits and Dlessings on ail parties concerned, and will bind us ail together by the strongest ties of reciprocal affeo. tion and interest. Their foreign trade with the west coast of Americarwith Asia, and the Isles of the Pa- cific, will be protected by our common flag, and can- not fail to bear back: to their ahores the rich rewards of enterprise and industry. After all, however, the speedy realization of these tright protpests depends much upon the wise and pru- dent conduct of the citizens ef California, in the pre- sent emergency. If they commence their career un- der proper auspices, their advance will be rapid and certain; but should they become entangled in difficul- ties and dissensions at the start, their progress will be greatly retarded. ‘The President deeply regrets that Congress did not, at their late session, establish a territorial govern- ment for California. It would now be vain to enter into the reasons for this cmission. ver these may have beon, he is firmly convinced that Congress jeep interest in the welfare of California and its le; and will, a provide for them their wants. Our |; course with the Indi = territorial government sulted to relating to trade and inter- s will then be extended over them—custom houses will be established for the col- lection of the revenue; and liberal grants of land will be made to those bold and patriotic citizens who, emidet privations and dangers, have emigrated or shall emigrate to that territory from the States on thi of the Rocky Mountain ‘The President, in his annual message at the com- ment of the next session, will recommend all me there oat measures to Congress, in the strongest terms; and will use every effort, consistently with his duty, to insure their accomplishment. In the meantime, the condition of the people of Ca- lifornia is anomalous, and will require on their part the exercise of great prudence and discretion. By the con- ciusion of the treaty of peace, the military govern- ment which was established over them, under the laws of war, as recognised by the practice of all civilized nations, has ceased to derive its authority from this source of power. But is there, for this reason, no go- yernment in California? Are life, liberty and prope! ty under the protection of no existing authoriti This would be a singular-phenomenon in the face of the world, and espscially among American citizens, distinguished as they are above all other people for their law-abiding character Fortunately they are not reduced to thisaad condition. The termination of the rnment—a government de a this will continue, with war left an existing gove /acto—in full operation; an the presumed eonsent of the people, until Congress shail provide for them a territorial government, ‘The great law of necersity justifies this conclusion The conrent of the people is irresistibly inferred from the Fgh ss no civilized community could possibly desire to ogate an existing government, when the alter- native p ted would be to place themselves in & state of hy, beyond the protection of all laws and reduce them to the unhappy necessity of submitting to (he dominion of the strongest ‘This government de fucto will, of course, exercise no power inconsittent with the provisions of the con- ttitution of the Yi vited States, which is the supreme Jaw of the land.

The President urgently advises the people of Cali- fornia to live peaceably and quictly under the existing government. He believes that this will promote their lasting and best interests. If it be not what they could desire and bad aright to expect, they can console themselves,with the reflection that it will endure but for s few months, Should they attempt to change or amend it during this brief period, they most probably could not accomplish their object before the govern. ment established by Congress would go into operation. In the meantime, the country would be agitated, the citizens would be withdrawn frem their ments, and domentic strife might divide and exaspe rate the people against each other; and this ir all to establish a government which in no conceivable con- tingency could endure for a single year. During this brief period, it is better to bear the ills they have, than fly to others that they know not of. The permanent prosperity of any new country Is identified with the perfect security of its land titles. tem of the general government has bsen theme of admiration throughout the world. The ledom of man has never devised @ plan #0 well calou- lated to prevent litigation, and place the rights of owners of the soil beyond dispute. This system has been one great cause of the rapid settlement and pro- sof our new States and territories, Emigrants fore teow attracted there, because every men kuew that when he bad acquired land from the government, he could sit under his own vine and under his own fig ae and there would be none to make him afraid, In- deed, there can be no greater drawback to the pros- perity of a country, as several of the older States have experienced, than disputed land tit! Prudent men will be deterred from emigrating to a State or territory where they cannot obtain an in‘isputable title, and must consequently be exposed to the danger cf strife and litigation in respect to the soil on which they dwell, An uncertainty respecting the security of land all valuable improvement, because no prui expend his means for this purpose, whilst there is danger that another may deprive him of the fruit of his labors. It is fortunate, therefore, tl Congress alone, under the censtitution, possesses e power to dispose of and make all needfal rules and regulations reepecting the territory or other pro- perty belonging to the United States.” in the exercise ofthis power, the President is convinced that the emi- grants will receive liberal donations of the publio lauds. Although Congress have not established a territorial government for the people of California, they have not been altogether unmindful of their interest. The be- nefit of our Post Office laws has been extended to them H and you will bear with you authority from the Post. master General, to provide for the conveyance of pub- lic information and private correspondence among themselves, and between them and the citizens of Oregon and of our States east of the Rocky Mountains, The monthly steamers on the line from Panama to As- toria have been required “ to stop and deliver and take mails at San Diego, San Franchsoo, and Monterey.”’ These steamers, connected by the Isthmus of Panama with those on the Atlantic, between New York and Chagres, will keep up a regular communication with California, and afford facilities to all those who may desire to emigrate to that Territory. @ necessary appropriations have also been made by Congress to maintain troops in California, to pro- tect its inhabitants against all attacks from n civilized or savage foe; and it will afford the President peculiar pleasure to form the duty promptly and effectivel: But above the constitution of the Taited States, the safeguar. all our eivil rights, w: tended over California on the 20th May, 1848, the day on whieh our late treaty with Mexico was finally consummated.

Yours, very respectfuily, JAMES BUCHAN. The Washington Globe of the 224, contains two letters from Capt. J. L. Folaom, Assistant Quarter- master General at San Francisco, to General Jesup, Q M.G., detailing what he has sgen of the gold region. Capt. F. states that every thing was going on finely up to February, 1848—improvements making, and every one industrious—when th = pay the news: Teached the coast of the time the excitement broke out, I was repair- ing the United States bark Anita.

It is uncomfortable than the climate of Brazil at ‘he rest season of the year, and everything was literally parched up after a drougkt which had then continued for near three months, and which had five months more to run to the rainy season.’” He then goes on to state where the gold is found— how it is gathered—the extent of its deposit—who are the chief miners—the number of persons employed, and ® number of other particulars, which have been detailed in our columns in other letters from that quarter of the country. In another letter, the Captain says:— Something should be done here at once for the es- tablishment of peaee and good order in the country. Alllaw, both civiland military, jsatanend. Among ‘the mines, and indeed in most parts ot the country out of the villages, no authority but that of the strongest exists; and outrages of the most disgraceful nature are constantly occurring, and the offenders Syd apes There are now about twenty-five vessels in this port, and | believe there is not one of them that has a crew to go to rea. ‘During the whole year that I was Collector of this port, there was not a gun mounted for commandin; the entrance of the port, and there was mot a Unit States man-of-war in the harbor :— We were exacting & ‘military contribution,’ and we possessed not the slightest means of preventing vessels from leaving in defiance of our authority.

Of both, he says, a healthy person may eat, provided always that he eats moderately, A letter from Capt. Dimmick, to his friends at home, published in the Chenango Telegraph, gives a good re- port of their conduct and services in California, which we copy in part:— “That portion of the First Regiment of New York Volunteers, consisting of Company K, commanded by Capt. Dimmick, and Company C, commanded by Capt. Brackett. have this day been mustered from the rervice, and received an honorable discharge. “Though they have not had the opportunity of fighting any great battles, yot they have met the enemy in small detachments, where they contended against four times their number, In the southern part of California, and shown themselves equal to any emergency, and what they would have done had it been required, or bad they bad the opportunity. This regiment has gone farther from home, kept a much Jarger extent cf country in perfect subjugation, and been longer in the service of the United States, than any other volunteer regiment during the war. “During the last six months, the discovery of the gold mines on the upper branches of the Sacramento river, has offered one of the strongest temptations for { desertion, but few comparatively have been base enough to betray their trust, Sixteen dollars per day hasbeen offered for the labor of the soldier at the mines, and protection offered, which the volunteers promptly refured, regarding honor preferable to the giittertog mi Those that are now honorably dis- charged, have reserved their integrity under peculiar circumstances, and well deserve the gratitude and re- membrance of their country.”” med Coronet Hays’ Exprpreion.—The Houston (Texas) Star, ot the 5th inst , states that no intel- ligence has been received from Colonel Hays and his Jitle band ot adventurers, since Dr. Sturges and his party Jeft them on the banks of the Puerco.
