TWO WEEKS’ NEWS (From the San Francisco H The mest important event that nus California, since the departure of the laet m: er, was the arrival ef the intelligence of the action Congress had taken in regard to the numerous bills intended for the benefit of this State, amd the an- nouncement of the federal appointmeats made under the several statutes passed. The appointments, we are bapp: to say, were generally acceptable to the peo- le of California; and the President bas been singulal ly fortunate in the selection he has madw from the nu merous spplicants for federal offlows, In regard to the legislation of Congress on Culitornia matters, there is 40 much unanimity of sentiment or opinion. The people were all satisfed that » large majority of the bills presented to the Senate immediately after the admission of California, were summarily rejected This wat especially the feeling in regard to the bill propos ing to grant iicenses to miners. for the privilege of working the gold lands. We would have been still more gratified if a less number of collection districts bad been constituted. On the whole, however, there is little reason to complain of thy acts passed; and there is only complaint to make in regard to ‘what Congress tailed to do t defect in the legislation for California, was int at San Francisco. This espitien of the country absolutely require. and in & new territory, calling for 8 full and active circulation of coin for the develope ment of its rerenrces, we think it burdensome to have to send our gold on a long and tedious journey in or. der that we may get it made into money. We hope, however, that Congress will at an early day, supply this deficiency, and furnish us a mint. which may be the means of making American money the chief cur- rency of the islands and ports of the Pacific.
