The proposition to fund $1,500,000 of the city debt at 10 per cent per annum for 20 years, met with strong opposition from the tax payers.

To secure this object, men of questionable reputation © be discarded, and intelligent men, of pure, honorable and independent character, above susp in their ublic aud private conduct, and permanently identified their interesta with this State and coast, to be Drought forward as candidates, whether heretofore known in poiitics or not; none others to be supported by the party. ‘State candidates to be nominated by a State conven- tion; delegates to said convention, from the cities, to be chosen by associations, and not by primary elections, #0 called, ¢ first State convention to be called by a State central committee. ‘The basis of representation in the conysntion to be the whole vote cast at the last general election. The external policy of the State to bo— Tre immediate commencement and speedy completion of the Atlantic and Pacific railroad, and, asa temporary expedient, the construction and proper protection, by military posts, of an emigrant or ordinary wagon road, from the fronticrs cf the States bordering on the west- em bank of the Mississippi, to the frontiers of the State vf California, We hold it to be clearly within the power, and to be ‘the sacred duty of the government of the United States, to make provision, in the most efficient manner and without delay, for ths ‘truction of so much of these roads as may fall within tho Territories, and we will un- ceasingly urge that such action be taken. The relinguishment by Congress, to the State of Cali- fornia, of aliciaim on the part of ‘the United States to the vacant and upappropriated lands lying within the State, with a view to the furtherance of the construc- tion of the railroad and emigrant rond within her bor- friendly nor hostile to the present or any subsequent etntnbtnation of the federal government, except aa they advocate or oppose measures of our policy. The San Francisco Alta California of the 12th ultimo, apeaks of this new organization as follows:— There never was a man—or if there was we nover saw him—who bad not some grievance. The same is true of societion, States and countries, If any clase of lend ple are foolish enough to dwell upon and magnify t! galevanees, it is no difficult thing for them to get up a spirit of insubordination and rebellion. And we do mot doubt that if a sufficient number of disinterested patriots ‘would travel over this State, telling the people that they were sadly neglected and abused by the general govern- ment, that many who now find the yoke of the Union easy and its burden light, would be persuaded that they ‘wers suifering beyond the power of human endurance, We have held before, and we id now, thst it is the duty of the general government to improve, with as Tittle delay as possiole, the facilities of travel between fornia and the older States. If a long continued reluctance shall be shown in bring- ing us in closer contact with the land of our fa- thers, then the cords that bind us will grow gradually weaker, until a collision of interests may render a sepa- ration not improbable. But the United States have been more liberai and true to California than she has been to herself. She has mot been properly Earcerenten as yet in the halls of Congress; and as long as her representa- tives are false to her, what right have we to complain? If «Californian shail move the postponement of the most important of al) measures to his own State for the sake of the executive smile, and is followed in this treachery {by the whole delegation, can others be ex- ted to push through the measure? Are tl a to Sight out the battle after the Bripelpale bave left the field? No, Jet us have true mon in Congress, and we have thet abiding confidence in Se fant of the Ame- aican people to believe that we need not long complain of their injustice towards us. That the new party will have some specious pretext for adopting the course marked out to them, we are well aware. We expect to be told how much the country is indebted to California for her present wealth; long ar- rays of figures will be displayed to show how great the quantity of gold which has been shipped from this State to New York within the last tive years, when we havo received no corresponding benefit—that we have seat ce and received for it meglect. In fact, we expect to ind ourselves the most oppressed, neglected and abused People ‘on the face of the earth. The avowed object of this new party, as we under. stand it, is to obtain a larger delegation from the Pacific States in Congress. Oregon and Washington must be organized intoStates at once. California must be divided, and two States made out of her territory; the Sandwich Islands must be annexed, aud so must Sonora and as much more of the territory of Mexico as we can conve- niently conquer, purchase er steal. Instead of one State onthe l’acide, it is proposed to have six, and then, what with State‘and federal officers, it is thought that every man can have a good office with a large salary. ‘Tbeidea of a Westera republic will not be broached at present. That would so much ontrage the eporular sentiment of the State that the first breath of the peo- ple would sweep the entire new party from the State. ‘The game of Cataline must’first be played, public migd must be demoralized. And in no way can this be done so easily as by aggressions upon our neighbora, The act itself is demoralizing, and if any considerable body of Cslifornians can be drawn into a hostile demon- stration against Mexico, the way to a revolution is easy. Should resistance be made, then the chivalrous spirit of our people will lead them to ruah to the rescue of their foilow countrymen, and should the general government interfere to protect her honor, and, as she is bound to do, prevent such expeditions, and punish those whoen- fei in them, then will there be many who will cry out idly against such a use of power, andthe cry wi!l then be for a Pacific Republic. We say that this whole scheme is demoralizing. Its tendency is to revolution, and we hope it may be aban- doned, and those silly visionaries who have nursed the idea that beoause they could got elected to the Assembly. from “Skunk Gulch”? or ‘Brindle Cow Ranch,” that therefore they are great men, and can go to Conine perhaps, or be Governors if we can only haye States enough on the Pacific, may soon have a returning fit of reason and let well enough alone. If they are great men in reality the world will find it out, andif they are not it will be impossible to make the world believe that they re, Men who have nothing and are in debt besides, ‘an afford to rush into s revolution, and men having no ability and are entirely overlooked’ in a peaceable and well regulated conmunity, may see that any change must benefit them. But their interest is directly opposed to that of men having either character or property, and it is for all such tofrown upon these demoralizing attemp's and crush them in the bud. They will only bring the State into discredit, and entail disgrace and ruin on those who en- gage in them. ‘The Vote for U. 8. Senator. The San Francisco Zimes and Transcript of the 16th Feb. says:—The most important feature of news con- veyed to the Atlantic by the steamer of to-day is the nou-election of United States Senator by the Legislature of our State, Up to yesterday there had been fifty bal- lots, when the convention adjourned over until rg There bas been no material change in the contest. ry the first ballot Gwin received forty-two vot don the fiftieth and last, forty-one. On the third ballotfhe rose to forty-three, and upon an_intermediate vote sunk to thirty-three, The vote of Edwards, the whig nomi- nee, bas been about thirty-six, although it bas gone up to thirty nine and fal en to thirty-two. Broderick’s vote i be placed at twelve, although it has exoeeded and fallen below that figure. MeDougal was Awithdrawa at anearly stage of the balloting, and McCorkle substituted. Afterwards McCorkle was withdrawn, and Major Roman substituted in his stead. At one time he received eighteen votes, although ff- teen is about the number who have been voting on the side which Roman now represents. There have generally been from four to twelve scattering votes, and one or more absentees. To predict the result we shall not attompt. time the opinion has prevailed that there would be no election this winter. Wedo not believe that it is well founded, but on the contrary, that an election will be had. The vote of yesterday looks more towards this end, under the circumstances, than any yet taken. Sacramento, Feb. 15, 7 0’clock P. M. .,, There is a rumor current in the city this evening, that an affort will again be made to postpone the Senato- rial election to-morrow, in joint convention, and'that if it fails, Gwin will be electe General Wool fn the State Legislature. (From the Sacramento Tribune, Feb. 15.] We are rejoiced to see this much beloved and brave old veteran among us. He looks as well, after forty years of toil in the service of bis country, a8 any civilian of his age could after a lifetime spent among the scenes of pri- yate life. In looking at his quiet bearing and benevolent face, one can hardly think it possible that he has passed through so many of the exciting incidents that mark and add brilliancy to the pages of our country’s history, since his first entry into the service. Gen. Weol’s adroinistration of the military command of this department has been exemplary aud highly satis. factory to our people, and no matter what his eaemi and pérsecutors may ‘say he has won for himself the profaund respect and ailection of the people of Califor. a esterday, Mr. McFarland announced that Gen. Jolin F. Wool was on a visit to the capital, and moved ths appointment of a committee of two to wait wpon him, and invite him upon the floor of the Senate. The motion prevailed unanimously. The President appointed Messrs. McFarland and Keene as said committee. They retired from the Senate cham- ber, aud returned ina short time, with Gen. Wool es- corted between them. Mr. McFarland then announced the presence of Gen. Wool at the bar, whereupon the fact was repeated to the President, and the Senators arose to their feet. The committee advanced with Gen. Wool towards the Presi- dent's desk, when that officer declared the Senate to be in recess for the period of freee minut A recess was acccrdingly taken, and Senators gatnered around ‘the venerable veteran to give him their cordial personal greetings.

Terrible Affray in the Mines. TWO MEN KILLED AND ONE MORTALLY WOUNDED. A correspondent of the Maryville Express, writing from near the scene of the tragedy, reports that on the 9th of February, a terrible conflict took place between tween two parties of miners, at a place called the Sand Hi, or Mmbuctoo, near Park’s bar, on the main Yuba. The facts are related follows: company of men, Webster and Anderton, owned a mi- e ravine at this p'ace, but were working in the hill near by. While thus employed, several men from Park’s bar came up. and as no one was at work in the claim, or had been for some time, proce+ded to place their sluice boxes and prepare for work, claiming that the ground was open to any one who saw fit to work it, On hearing of this, Webster, Anderson & Co. warned them to desist and leave the claim, their property, and they should work it as soon as there ‘was sufficient water. ‘The Parks’ Bar party replied, that they (Webster, An- deraon & Co.) bad forfeited their claim to the ground, and expressed their determination to hold the claim an work it, atall hazards, Yesterday, however, Webster, Anderson Co, armed themselves, and returned to de- fend their claim, Fach party was #even or eight strong, well armed, and seemed ready for hostilities. From angry words, a blow trom the butt of a pistol passed, which knocked one man down, whereupon both parties commenced to fire. The alarm was immediately given, and the citizens rushed to the scene, but too late to pre- vent fatal resuits, Webster was shot dead, a ball hav- i ‘ough bis heart;, Anderson was shot 4, and yet be lived two hours, although oozing Out; a Mr. Rice was shot in the breast, and was thought to be dying at last scconnts. the name of tuck ;’’ he leaves a family in Paducah, Ky. ; was about thirty- five years old, He bore a good character araong his ac- uvivtances.

The “ liberal army’’ of the South having marched for the capital, I will furnish your readers such information as bas been received by couriers since their departure. As General Alvarez was advancing cn Buena Vista, a small town, garrisoned by a regiment of government troops, he was met by an officer with a flag of truce, ro- garding which and other topic I will furnish youa translation of some extracts from a letter received by a friend of mine from General Francis Moreno:— Camp on Buena Vista, Feb. 18, 1855. My Estxemen FRiexp:— * * * * * * * Imagine our surprise, when, within three leagues of this town, to receive a fiag of truce. The officer being met by Colonel James Alvarez, asked if his father was actually present, and in command. On being informed he was, he replied, ‘I must see hitg;”’ when the following conversation took place:—‘‘You Are Gen. Alvarez, the commander-in-chietr” ‘Yes, sir.” “Lam satisfied: do net fire ashot. We will immediately surrender.” ‘The old chieftain spared their feelings, and directed him te inform his superior officer to pronounce like patriotic Mexicans—which they did. My friend, this reminds me of a ea A read in an American paper some years ago, about a Captain Scott, whose reputation rifle shot stood very high, Being on a hunting excursion, and seeing aracoon on a tree, he was about to fire, when the racoon asked if that was Scott.

Inthe event, however, of the Dictator having left, we will push on with all baste, and march in by all means, Being well informed, I can assure you the reason the Dictator has not left Mexico previous to this is, aside from the express wishes of the conservative party, that he entertains strong hopes of receiving the three mil- lions which is to be paid when the Commissioners have finished the survey of the boundary line, hia we must frustrate him by the rapid movements of all our forces.

From the foregoing it must be seen that the old chief- tain Alvarez is determined to bring matters to » close before the commencement of the rainy season, and those who are supposed to be well posted agree that the month of ‘April will close the revolution. Genera! Igna- cio Comonfort is of opinion that his Serene Highness had better “beware the ides of March.’’ On the 12th instant General Vilalba intercepted a cou- rier with despatches from Perez Palasios, Governor of Chilpabeingo, directed to Santa Anna, wherein he com- municates the apprehension of tw desérterd from Nuesco, who reper’ that General Zuluaga and Moreno had capitulated, and that the former was a_pri- soner in the hands of the enemy. Not crediting the statement of the men, they were cast inte prison, under sentence of death if their report should prove false. He complains very much on account of Santa ‘Appa haying recalled to ‘the city of Mexico the greater and best portion of his troops; that they have beon without pay for the past six montha; and that unless he was immediately reinforced he could not be held re- General Alvarez was sponsible for the consequendes, ad) ing with all his forces and a battery of six field ec ® The English war steamer Virago paid usa flying visit on the 12th, and cleared on the 15th for Panama.

Arrival of the United States Sloop-of-War St. Mary’s—Safety of the Clipper Ship John Land—Discontinuance of the Negotiations for the Annexation of the Sandwich Islands— Extraordinary Prociamation of the New King, and Protest of the Commander of the St. Mary’s. By the arrival at San Francisco of the United States sloop-of-war St. Mary’s, T. Bailey, commander, we have received files of Honolulu papers to the 27th of January, being two weeks later than previous advices. The St. Mary’s made the passage in twelve days, which is a re- markably quick trip for the season of the year. In fact, it is the shortest trip on record—the run from land to land having been made in ten days. King Kamehomeha IV, received at court, on the 16th January, the representatives and conguls of foreiga na- tions, and the captains and officers of foreign vessels in a ort. Pothe King has made the following appointments: Her Royal Highness Princess Victoria Kamehameha, Kahu- ano Nuvia; John Young, Minister of the Interior; R. 0. Wyllie, Minister of Foreign Relations; F. H. Allen, Min- ister of Fizance; R. Armstrong, Minister of Public In- struction; Wm. C.

Konoa, Governor of Kouai; Luke Keilika loni, Governess Hawaii. fi On January 24th, Mr, Gregg, United States Commis- sioner, received'a dispatch from, Mr. Wyllie, the Minister of Foreign Relations, stating that the latter had been ordered by the King todiscontinue the negotiations forthe annexation of the Islands to the United State commenced and carried on by hia late Majesty, Kameha- meha Ill. On January 26th, Commander Bailey, of the U. 8, slocp-of-war St, Mary’s, entered_a strong protest, through the Commissioner, to the Hawaiian govern- ment, against the language of the King’s proclamation of December 28th, which states ‘that the naval force of the United States would be employed in protecting the King’s sovereignty.’’ At the King’s reception, Jan. 16, he addressed the ofiicers of tho United States, Freach and English yeesels of war, and declared that they represented the three great maritime powers of the arth, und the three greatest supporters of the inde- pendence of his kingdo1 The /olynesian says:— ‘The schooner C. E. Foote has been chartered to convey Mr. Read and family, and Mr. Dougherty to Japan direet, where they design to take up their residence and engage im business. They expect tosail about the 10th of February, and will arrive in time to take advantage of the Inte treaty, by which the porta were to be opened inone year. The treaty was concluded on the 28th of April, 1854.”” King Kamehameha 1V. thus concludes an address re- cently delivered to his new Privy Council:—‘From all my counsellors I desire frank anil faithful advice, and those who advise me honestly have nothing to’ fear; while those who may abuse my confidence and advise me more from persopal interests than regard for the public good, have rothing to hope.” A branch of the well known banking house of Page, Bacon & Co. has recently been established in Honolulu, which will prove commodation to the merchant) resident here, ae well as owners and captains of vessels, Exchange on the United States has ruled during the fall season from par to 12 per cent discount. In Novem- ber, for a few days, it held at from 10 to 1234, and we hear of a few bills drawn at 16 per cent. The rate at present is par. SAFFTY OF THE CLIPPER SHIP JOHN LAND. The whale ship George Howland arrived at Honolulu January 27, and reported the John Land havin; touched at Tahiti in distress, and the crew in a state ol mutiny. Everything was, however, subsequently ar- ranged, and she was to have sailed’ soon for San Fran- cisco. ’ The following is the report given by Captain roe. Geerge Howland, recently arrived from ‘The whale ship D. M. Hall, of Fall River, Capt. Pratt fell in with the ship John Land, Capt. Percival, in lat. N., long. 107 W., with » signal of distress at her fore topsail,yerdarm. Csptain Pratt went on board and found her leaking seven or eight thousand strokes an hour.’ Captain Percival asked tor assistance, and offered five thousand dollars if tne bark would lie by him twen- ty-four hours, which Capt. Pratt rofused. Capt. Perci- val eaid money was hardly a considetation if Pratt would into port, Captain Pratt sefased to dos sistance of the John Land unless phe Was abandoned to him. After some time taken to consider this proposition, it was acceded to by Capt. Percival. The ceews were transferrod—Capt. Percival. officers and crew going on board the bark, The bark’s crew, after forty-eight hourd’ trial, found they could not keep it free alone, when Capt. Pratt made another contract with Capt. Percival, to the effect that if he would aed him a cargo for his bark, he would ro. eliver up therhip, and the two crews would join in working her into port; on which they took out ote to the amount, in their judgment, of fiftyfthousand dollars. The weather coming on bad, they stopped. After thi the crews mutinied, and those on the ship hatled thi bark, and commanded her to heaye3to, which was done. ‘They came on board and demanded the papers which conveyed the ship back to Percival, and obtained them, This put the whole control again in the banda of Pratt, who proceeded, against th of Percival, to Nuku- hiwa, one of the Marquesas Islands, where no authori- ties existed to take cognizance of the matter, On arrival, Capt. Percival asked assistance from the French to take charge of his mer, who were m a state of mutiny. Some were put in irons and taken on shore before the Governor, but were finally released by his order, (who had a consultation with Capt. Pratt,) for which he pro- bably received a gratification. The foregoing is the re. pert received from both parties by Capt. Bryant. Capt. Percival epplied to Capt Bryant for assistance, which was offered to the extent of his power, 5 ee his ship and lighting the Jobn Land, for the purpore o} finding the leak, which a diver reported as being under hor fore-foot. Capt. Pratt threw impediments in the way, but would consent to it on condicion that the crew agreed, They, probably were tampered with, as they would not allow it to be done. Up te this time, Captain Percival and officers were on the bark, but it became Captain Pratt’s policy for Captain Per- cival to command (nominally) his ship to Tahiti, and he went on beard without his officers or passengers, or any one who could sympathize or advise wita him— constrained to do se, as tt said, by the crew. Tho bark ard the ship sailed for Twhati previous to Captain Bryant's Captain Percival had been so har- rassed end ied by the conduct of the crows in ¢ etreying camaging cabip, and other mischievous 20, acts, ‘the time his mind was almost gone. The above is the report how tony Bryant, ani we give it in his own language, without pretending wo cogni- zant of the facta of the case, of our own know- ledge. If, however, the facts are as stated, it seems to be acase of refusal to afford aid in circumstances of gréat peril, which we can hardly believe any captain ‘and crew of orcinary humanity could have been guilty of. But if the story proves to be trae, we have not the slightest doubt that the indignation of the world would be most justly exhibited towards the eaptain and crew of the bark, in such manner as to drive them in dis from the profession. As the vessels had sailed for Ta- biti, we ehall probably hear more of this matter shortly, and me hol tanh yoy er in bis condu ted w # bound from Bo ton to gan Francisco, with » f assorted merchandine.

D. C. WAKEMAN, SUCCESS OF THE WHALING FLEET THE PAST SEASON’ From Whitney's Shipping List, of December 30, we take the following memoranda of the success of the whaling fleet during the season of 1854:— Honowv1v, Dee. 30, 1854 We are euabled herewith to givea fi of the success of the whal ng fleet in the North Pacific for the season. The statistics are taken from the Custom use entries at the ports of the Sandwich Islands, and are reliable, The number of whaleships which have touched at these islands during the fall season, as re- fed in this list, is 245, having on board a total of 6,335 barrels of sperm oil, 249, 1: snd 2,628,180 pounds of bone. ported in’ this list gives the amount of cil and bone taken during this season:— Sperm 4,276 barrels; whale 191,843 barrels; bone 2,698,180 pounds. The Arctic fleet of whalers has again met with disheartening success, which must to wake the Arctic ground less frequented in future. The Ochotsk fleet has done much better, aud shows an average of about 1,000 barrela to each vessel. Tho average of the entire fleet of right whalers this season, as compared with the two previous seasons, is as fol- lows:— Vessels, Bbla. Oil. Lbs.

News from New Granada. {From the Paname Herald, Febuary 27.) We have later dates from Bogota. A Vessel bring some mai! matter, and @ number of the recent revolu- ticnists, intended to serve in the army for the next three years, on the Isthmus. The trial of Gen. Obando was progressing, and already occupied rome hundred sheets of paper. We learn that the executive power at Bogota has is: sued the following decree:—There have been named to act as Governers of Azuero, until such time asthe po- ular election may take place, Senores Blas Arosemena, Bartoleme Calvo, Bernardo Arzemata, Jose Arose- mena and Juan Aroseinena Barrera, who are to be called upon as they are named, by the Governor of Panema, to whom they will communicate whether they serve or not, and whoever is accepted will taxe rge of the governorship immediately. The grand provincial swindle, the passenger tax, has been at fength disowned by the general government, an the Attorney-General of the nation bas pronounced the ordinance relative thereto as illegal, and contrary to the constitution. ‘The British steamship Virago, Commander Marshall, arrived in this port on Saturday, in nine days trom Aca- yulco, This vessel brings about $1,200, in treasure for transportation across the Isthmus, and a large amount tor Valparaiso. The Virago will sail in a few days for the latter port. ‘During ‘tbe present month there has been no less than two and a half millions of British treesure transported across thia isthmus on mule back and by Chagres river boats, instead of being conveyed by the railroad, and there is shortly expected to arrive here three millions more from Mazatlan, which will, in all probability, be transported in a similar way. The reason assigned for this is that the rate of freight by railroad is about one hurdred per cent greater than that by mutes, and con- siderably more than sufficient to cover the risk of loss. Why this should be so we cannot understand, but it certainly appears Long gta that the railroad tariff should Ary high as exclude the transportation of treasure, and compel the transporter te give the pre- ference fo the old and now almost obsolete, but still much cheaper mode of conveyance by pack mules. If such is really the case we cannot see the object of the railroad company maintaining so high a tariff. It certainly is not to the interest o! ‘olders to fix a tariff, which, instead of securing all the freight that cro the isthmus, induces competition, and actually forces the adoption of a different and less desirable mode of transportation, Whatever has been the object which mouced the railroad company to establish so high a tariff as that which at present exists, we have looked upon it from the first as injudicious end eis to the route, and we think it cannot be reduced too soon. Partioa in the Ynited States, Europe and on this coast, who bave bad in contemplation to trauaport their goods and produce across the isthmus, will at once see the impos- sibility ot doing so at the present railroad rates, and be compelled to send their cargo round Cape Horn, thus throwing an immense amount of traffic into the very channel which it was contemplated the opening of the railroad would close. If, on the opening of the Panama railroad, the company did not think the work in a suffi- cient state of perfection to undertake the transportation of heavy cargoes, it would have been much more Phd cious to have said #0 than to have issued a probibitory tariff, without attaching any explanation to it, and which only has the eflect of creating a general dissatis- faction among those very people who should otherwise have been its strongest supporters.
