July 29, 1849, The Intelligence from Callfornta, We published in the Herald of yesterday, an assortment of intelligenee—political, financial, and eommercial—which we received from California by the steamship Crescent City, and our columns to-day contain some additional news from that §nteresting region, being a month later than what | ‘we were previeusly in possession of. There can be no doubt now, that California will apply for admission into the Union as a State, during the next session of Congress. Several im- portant preliminary meetings have been held, "T. Butler King, and other distinguished men of the United States, made speeches, and measures | having that object in view were discussed and | adopted. Accerding to all accounts and proba- | bilitics, the population of Califorma in the fall or | winter, will be large enough to warrant such a | measure. The constitution of California will, without doubt, ¢ontain a provision prombiting slavery within its borders. This will of course krock the Wilmot proviso agitation in the United | States in the head, and put an end to the unprofi- | table controversy that has been carried on in rela- | tion to that subject. The admission of California | asa State, cannot, of course, be refused by Con- gress; end as far as the application to become such H is concerned, it 1s quite immaterial whether the Californian constitution do or do not contain a provision prohibiting slavery. An important feature of this late intelligence from California, is the fact that provisions and | merchandise of all descriptions bear a very low | price, and can be purchased at as low rates as rule on the Atlantic coast for the same articles. When we consider the vast sums that were in- | vested in adventures of goods to California, and tlfe great number of vessels that were freighted | thither with such articles as are now selling there | £0 cheap, as well as the confident expectation of ; those who despatched them of realizing great | profit, we must infer that serious losses have been incurred by those who engaged 1n the business, and that more or less insolvency and bankruptcy | will ensue. | f elt im this and other cities. The deposits of gold, it appears, are literally in- exbaustible; but the labor of digging and gather- | ang it is so arduous that no persons but those who | have been aceustomed from their boyhood to | manual toil, ean stand it. Evea to those who are inured to hard labor, the task is very severe. The natural consequence is, that thousands of persons from our large cities, who were in the possession of salaries as clerks, bookkeepers, &c., and the professional men that wildly end impetuously yushed there with the confident expectation of | making mney enough ma year or two to support | themselves for the rest of their lives, have beea disappointed, and are now sighing for the ease and comforts which they so hastily abandoned in a moment of excitement, or returning, if they have the meane, to the plices which they left. We have heard from a gentleman who arrived here in the Crescent City, that he saw persons in Cali- fornia in the capacity of servants, who, under the | influence of the gold mania, abandoned situations which yielded a comfortable maintenance for them and their families in New York and other Atlantic cities. We would not be at all surprised to see a great many of the adventurers returning by every steamship. ° | Notwithstanding this, California is destined to bea rich, thickly populated, and wealthy State. | | This unexpected blow will enan ha ‘Twe Couurcror, tre Cusrom Hovse axp Comino Events.—Our Collector is a busy man—a great deal too busy, in the opinion of sone of his friends and advisers. No sturdy woodsman, whose strokes are re-echoed amid the “sounding aisles” of the Western forest, ever plied the axe with greater vigor or a heartier will. Nor has he been inactive works of mercy and labors of love His eag§bave been open to the prayer: “Be to our virtues ever kind, Be to our faults « little blind’ — Yor, has he not placed many a pauper at his boun- teous table; and given to scores of perishing whigs, young and old, fat and lean, the means of obtain- ing unlimited credit with grocers, butchers, boot- makers, tailors and tavern keepers, without num- ber? Daring last week Mr. Maxwell was very busy— bury with the “b’hoys” around the Castom Llouse, and busy with the buoys in the harbor. The “b’boys” were let down and the buoys taken up. Mr. Maxwell was all through Buttermilk channe! —he was; and he escaped all the horrors of that mavigation, despite of the prayers of numerou, well-wiehers. Ile was at the Ilook—he was at Fort Hamilton—he was at the telegraph station— he was at Staten Ieland—he was at every place, except the only place where sundry benevolent Christians wished him, and that is, at the devil. ‘This week is also to be a busy week—an awtully, frnghtfully, dreadfully, shockingly busy week. Yesterday, by way of a whet to his appetite, Mr. Maxwell disposed of fifteen or twenty patrotic offi- eiale. But to-morrow, and to-morrsw, and to- morrow, it will be absolutely devouring; a new edition of Jack the Giant Killer, enlarged and ims proved; half a dozen victims at every awallow. Apropos of the Custom House; it appears that Mordecai M. Noah is a perfect “brick” inthe esta- blichment. In other words, he is employed in the “brickyard.” This classic department is eom- posed of from twelve to twenty euperannuated per- soneges, who have a claim on executive clemency. | ‘Their dety is to follow the carts of the export mer+ chants from the public store to the vessel. Alas! alas! we had always pictured Mordecai sitting, | like Matthew, at the receipt of custom—a joll: fat, bloated official, at a high desk, with spectacles on nose, conning over mysterious documents, filled with cabnlistic figures, the “observed of all ebeervere,” in that crowded theatre of trade, pr- triotiem, raccality and grog. But now we are a@ondemned to eee him “in oor minds eye,” tradg- ing along, in one of thore hot end burning doys, deeoping a sharp look eut aftersome vulgar en « | full.

Heaven help him, in these trying times, and grant him re~ newed strength to follow the cart, to the glory of the republic, at the rate of three dollars a day.

To the awful howlings, and fierce assaults, and perpetual accusations of the thousands of disappointed office-beggars, who all sin of omission or commission with which the ad- ministration is chargable, we must now add the relentless opposition of the Mormons. This des- perate band of martyrs and heroes have just enter- ed the field. They are not all engaged in digzing gold in the great valley of the Salt Lake. A rem- nant is amongst us, and they are not disposed to give eleep to their eyes, or slumber to their eyelids, till they consiga General Taylor to utter perdition. PROCLAMATION!

SAMUEL 8. SNOW. Mounr Zion, July 22, 1849. ‘This is a curious document. Public curiosity will be, doubuess, naturally excited as to the source from which it emanates. On this point we are able to throw some light. We have before us another singular manifesto, entitled, “ Testimoay from Mount Zion,” printed on a hot pressed sheet | of post, in ink of a most inflammatory redness. ‘This manifesto deals out anathemas, and impreca- tions, and curses, enough to swamp half a dozen miserable planets like the earth, and announces, with great eolemnity, that the male and female saints who sign it, possess a perfect monopoly of the true faith and the hopes of heaven. There are sixty of these blessed souls, whose names are ap pended to the ‘Testimony”—thirty males and | thirty females. They sing a song of joy and triumph over the progress of war, pestilence, and famine, and look for a speedy and complete installation into the possession of unlimited power and dominion in the millenial kingdom, which they allege has just been intreduced on earth, in anewer to their prayers and for their sole and special benefit. It seems that the head-quar- ters of this powerful opposition party are in Division street, at the house of a disciple, named Abraham Riker; and that the Apostle Snow holds forthevery Sunday in the hall of the College, in Crosby street. Judging from the tone and ternper of his manifes- toes, Snow must be a “messenger” of firebrands, arrows and death, to all refractory disciples— | amongst whom, 1t is clear, he has ranked General Taylor. What the result of this new opposition to ieneral Taylor may be, it is hard to predict. | Nitchie and Snow are an awful team. What, with the resolutions of 87 and the hot fire of Virginia— | duevicd | by the hand of Ritchie—and the lightning and brimstone of Apostle Snow, the President 1s likely to be in a bad fix. How can he stand against this combined artillery of heaven, earth and hell—not to speak of the blood and murder of discontented whigs? What are we to look for next?

The following important intelligence was re- ceived yesterday :— . July 6, 1819. My Drax Fasexp—Ae I informed you in my last, Venesuela was preparing for great re-action throughout the country. Public opinion was so strong agatust the military tyrant, that the population eould hardly b» restrained from committing imprudent acts, On the ‘ist of last month, six or eight mem on horseback at- tacked in Caracas, the capital, the guard of Monagas, killed the horse on which the chief of the guard was mounted, and retired without any further conse- quences Availing himself of this occurrence, Mona- gasinvested himself with extraordinary powe: prisoned veveral respectable citizens on suspicion, among them, Mr. George Ward, a respectable English resident of Caracas, and has levied forced contriba- tions. Several editors, or supposed editors of opposi- tion papers (many of which have appeared lately), have been thrown into prison, The orders ot imprisonmeat issued by Monagas and his agents, are made out in the following form :—“To take dead or alive ”— Several have already fallen victims to this dreadful formula, Such is the situation of Venezuela under the Alctatorship of Monugas, Such astate of things sould not last long, and since the 22d of last month, the people generally commenced rising against the domestic tyrent, and proclaimed the restoration of the constitution. The towns of Guare- nas. Senta Lucia, Charallave, Curiepe, Rio Chico, and other towns of the vallies of the Tuy and Barlovento (windward), and on the Plains, such as Calabozo, Cha- guaramas, Villa de Cura and others, have declared themselves and arein arms against the government of the dictator. ‘The military commanders Joaquin, M. Chacin, and W. Briceno, on the call of the inhabitants of Coro, entered the city of Coro on the 28th of June, at eight | o’cloek in the evening, with a few men; they put the garrison to flight, took the military park, aud captured General Valero end Thomas Pereira, two notorious scamps in the service of Monagas, The whole province | of Coro declared in favor of the constitution, and sent | immediately for General Jose A. Paez, the distin- | guished citizen of Venezuela, to head the movement. ‘The nieasage reached this island of Curacoa on the 20th July, at six o'clock in the morning.

Oa the same day ez received 1.500 muskets, about 2,009 in- funtry accoutrements and munitions of war, and on the Sth he wrote to his agent on this etter, which contains the following paseago:—*I have just reccived the ammunitions of war; | have nothiag more to desire; frem all quarters men are crowd ug around me, to swell the band of patriots who are again to conquer freedom for this land.
