Our San Francisco correspondent, writing under date of February 4, says the advocates of a Pacific republic aro gradually growing louder in their pretensions. Tho plan of operations of the revolutionists, in addition to seizing ‘the Mint, forts, military stations, Custom House and Post OMce, is described by Gen. McDougall, a candidate for United States Senator, who delivered a speech before the California Legislature a short time ago. Ho saM:— ‘The democratic Senator from Oregon, Mr. Nesmith, ‘was in the city of San Francisco, and visited your city a ehort time ago. He was waited upon by a committee on ‘Swo several occasions, and they informed him that a plan for a republic on the Pacific had been digested and ma- tured, that its organization was complete, and that it commanded the voice of a large body of our fellow citi gens. The plan was laid out in detail before that gentle. man, It was for a republic, to extend from Texas, includ- ing that State, and then passing westward, including Chibuahua, Tamaulipas, Sonora, California and Oro, He was informed that, while the organization ‘was complete and being carried on here, that the Knights of the Golien Circle were a powerful organization ia Texas; that they wore a powerful organization i Ari- ; that the moment that secession was effucted at the Botith they wero Eis to march on the States of Mexico to be acquired or conquered, and then offer to California and us a joint partnership with those adjoining ‘States ina new republic.

Rucumonp, March 12, 1861. In the Convention to-day Mr. Summers mado,a powerfal and effective speech of three hours, giving strong argu- ments in advocacy of the peace proposition and com- menting on cach article. He argued such action as ‘would meet the views of the whole States, and showed the folly of passing an ordinance of secession, for refe Tence, to divide the people. He said Virginia onght ‘first to command peace oafall sides, then to call a border State conference, with the peace propositions as an aceeptable basis of adjustment—and then let this Convention adjourn over toawait the result. He expressed full contidence ip the eventual restoration of the Union. Mr. Tyler replies to Mr. Summers to-morrow. THE MISSOURI STATE CONVENTION. St. Loris, Maveh 11, 1861, The Convention met at ten o'clock. Mr. Bixew called attention to a communication in this morning's Kepublican, hinting at a secret conspiracy to force Missouri out of the Union, and offered a resolution to appoint a committee to investigate the subject, and, if possible, ascer the names of the conspirators? which passed, 62 to 30. The minority report, signed by Mr. Redd and Judgo Hough, was then presented and read by the Secretary. The report opposes the national convention recom mended by the majority report, and proposes a conven tion of the border slave States instead, to be b Nashville, to decide upon such amendments to the vv tution as may be satifactory to them, It also recommends the{Crittenden propositions to the Nashville Convention, without, however, making it an ultimatum; and advises the appointment of Commission- ers to Delaware, and, Virginia, Kentucky, Ten- nesves, North Caroiua and Arkansas, to secure the to- operation of those States in the movement, A debate ensued on the majority report, but the Con- vention adjourned without taking action. INDEVENDENCE, March 11, 1861. A large meeting of the citizens of this county wag held here to-day, the object of which was to consider the ac- tion of our Legislature for the present time.

THE CROCTAW INDIANS WITH THE SOUTH. The Memphie Knuirer publishes the message of the principal chief of the Choctaw nation to the Legislature, convened in extraordinary session, to consider what couree the nation should pursue in view of the probable dissolution of the Union. In an editorial notice the En- quirer remarks:—The document is a well prepared State paper, decided, but temperate in ite general tone, and does infinite credit to ityauthor. While counselling the several Indian nations to cast their lot with the Southern States, in the event of their secession, and to send dele- gates to a Southern Congress, ho also advises the sendi of commissioners to Washington to confer with the Presi- dent of the United States, and to look after the security of their moneyed investments. In conclusion he calls upon. his bes aig! eo to stand by their rights, and never to surrender them, even thongh national annihilation should. be the consequence of refusal to submit. The Goneral Council responded to the message of their chief by pass- ing @ series of resolutions recognizing it to be the duty and interest of the Choctaw nation to unite their destinies with the Southern confederacy. SOUTHERN CONVENTION AND HARTFORD CONVENTION. 0 THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. The Hartford Convention, held during the war between Great Britain and the Unitea States, was a convention of the New England States. It had its origin*in a report of acommittee of the Massachusetts Legislature, in which they stated tha!, in their opinion, the constitution of the United States had been violated. They suggosted the ap- pointment of delegates, to meet such as might be ap- pointed by the Legislatures of other States, for the pur- pose of devising proper measures to scure the united efforts of the commercial States to obtain such amend- ments or explangtions of the constitution as would secure them from future evils. A circular letter to the other New England States called on them to meet in convention to devise such means of security and defence as might be consistent with the preservation of their revenues from total ruin, and adapted to their local situation and mutual relations and habits. The Convention reeommended to the ures of the States for which it spoke the adoption of such measures as might be necessary effectually to Protect their citizens from the operations of certain acts of Congrees, The history of the country shows that the designs of that Convention were deemed treasonable in their hentanar The government of the United States stationed at ford a Kentucky officer of distinction, with a regiment of troops, to any sudden out- break. Generai Jackson wrote to Mr. Monroc, in speak- ing of this Conventicn, “I am free to declare, had I com- manded the miilit ent when the Hartford Con- vention met, if it had been the last act of mg life, I should have punished the three leaders of the . Lam certain an independent court martial would we condemned them undé@r the second section of the act establishing rules and regulations for the government of the army of the United States.”’ It is suggested that the Southern States have no right to claim « patent for their invention of a dissolution of the Union, Their movement is but an imitation of the Bartford Convention.

Both branches of the Legislature are engaged in dis- cussing resolutions pledging California sgainst disunion and a Pacific republic. The debate has been carried on several days, and willconsume all the week. A majority are in favor of their passage, and only one or two have had the hardihood to express themselves against their scope and spirit. The temper of the people here, as be- fore stated, is strongly against the revolutionary course of South Carolina, and in favor of giving President Lin- coln a fair trial. When he does wrong then will be time to resort to secession.

Jauns BowRn: Dear gir—I reseived yester day ano'e from Mr Hawley requesting my attendance before the hoard of Folice Commisslovers to day at eleven o'clock, for the purpose of resuming the case of policeman William’ | son, I Was surprised at this, in view of the faet that be th cases were closed on Saturday, and can see no reason why | Mr. Williams n should again be called upon to res to charges which have been definitely disposed of. if the Cou: Ininsloners have ordered the matter to be reopened—whiel I am constrained ‘9 doubt—it can only beon the ground of newly discovered evidence, or becanse of the trial having been proceeded with in the absence of the complainant. TI first of Ahese reasons should only be availahle to partios who | have snffered a Cefeat, nnd no judgment baving been | rendered {n these cases, the reopening of the mawer is emainre As to the other ground, you will remember that objected to proceeding with the trial in the absence of mr. | Kenhedy. That objection the Board overruled, For these | reasons I shalt mrehnam, object to the trial ang further | proceeded with. Mr. Williamson, however, diifers from me on there points. have this morning two cases ia which Tam counsel, in the Common Pleas, and there're cannot atiend before you to-day. at Lt o'e ock to-morrow I wil appear with produce Mr, William, Te this will aud that it was as foliows:— | em’ le, pI ise a note to b meto that ef: that ican shape my engagem: ‘cordingly. | Re- pur obedient servant rintt me to ssk the Commissioners if they received such a note as this, and if so at what time? Mr, Bowon—T did, at about one o'clock eae g Mr. Holmes— Chis shows that your subordinate has ne- gleoted ms duty : Mr. Bowen—Wohat is your motion, sir? Ur. Holmes—I move to be allowed to cross-examine Kennedy on the statement which be matte in this case yesterday, aud I now produce Mr. Withiamson for the pur- Pose of his bemg crose-exemined if it should be desired. The notice to appear hore on Monday morning vas served on me by being left at my house with a servant on Sun day, in the middle of the day. Thoid that such a notice was proper and unsanctioned by law or morals, This was the more strange, he said, in view of the fact that the Legislayire have within the last fow years enacted laws for the better regulation of the Sabbath, and that ‘he police authorities hive exhumed ohsolete Sunday laws, ard that the execution of both of them has been con'ided to your department. Yet wo aro presented with he spectacle of one of your subordinates being sent on that tay around the city with notices, as to a purely secular mi and as to which neither necessity nor xood morals dictated haste, This was done after the case had beep closed. Mr, Bowen—You move to reopen the case? Mr. Holmes—No, sir; if the cise wae open yesterday, and Mr, Kennedy # testimony legally taken in the asence of proper notice to the accused, and against my respect- ful remonstranee, it is open now, and thore isno necessity for @ motion to open it, I desir: eimply to cross examine Mr. Kennesy, and develope the truch of this matter. 1 ask for that justice which is accordad by every tribunal in the land to the meanost person who may be accused of crime, the right to meet his accuser face toeface, and to submit him to these tests whteb can oniy be applied on a cross-exemipation. Deny us this and you deny us justice. Kither the testimony of Mr. Kennedy is in this cise, and wo are entith d to test its retiability, or it is out of the case because illegally taken, aud should be struck out of the record, Mr. Williamson does not sbrink from the most enlarged investigation, and it remains to be seen whether as much can be said for Mr. Kennedy. Mr. Bowen—I will place sour motion. before the Board of Commipsioners and give you an answer. Mr. Holmes—But when may we expect an answer? Mr. Bowen—I can't tell oxactly; but rest assured you shall have an anawer. Mr. Holmes—I thank you, sir, for the assurance, and hope that it will be speedily given. Here the interview ended.

Nearly ali the companies settled with the plaintiffs promptly after the tire. The defendants how- ever, resisted the plaintifl’s claim and hence this suit, which was to recover tho full amount of theirpolicy, $3,250. The policy contains a claim as follows referring to the building assured. “ Said buildings are warmed by steam water on each floor, with hose, and a watchman to poet the promises at be es It was proven and cone by the counsel for both parties that the build- ing was warmed by steam; that there was a watch- man in the building; that there was water on each , and aleo water in the attic, with hose on each floor, but none in the attic. A witnees was introduecd who proved that in common parlance, and as tho terms were introduced at this factory, that the word floor meant story, and when the term was used in spesking of the floors of the factory it did not mean the attic, this testim: was uncon- tradicted, Another witness testitied that he was super- intendent for the plaintiff at the factory, aud that he did pot deem it expedient to have hose in tne attic, because hoge could be used on the floor pelow to betior advant- age in case of fire in the attic, The couneel for the Insuranoe Company contended tha! under the above mentioned clause in the policy, the plaints could not recover because there was no hose in the attic.
