Political and Genial News. Pim Calihrnis—News of the Fortnight. From the Alta catisnaise. !Since the sailing of the steamers of the Ist inst., thet State has furnished but (ow tspics of Aliscussion iir interest, aside from the weather in ,the interior, nd the-consequent suspension of business of all inde r and introit, of provisions, the suffering and embariassanent. The Legislature met on the 3.1 inst., but up to the present time they have done nothing of mo ment. The Executive message and the accompa nying doeuments . have been referred to committees, but whether the important questions brought be fore the twe Houses will receive further considera tion, or be allowed to sleep out the session in corn -mittee-roome, remains to be seen. It is probable, •however, that after the final settleetent of the capi ta} controversy, they *ill go to work and do some thing: . • The old !project of calling a Constitutional Con vention, is once more On the Lapis. The ostensible object, as setforth by the Executive in hit message, is to abolish c ertain t offices created by the constitu• ions; but the real end is the abrogation of the anti slavery clause and the divisipn of the State. The first, if it aims at the accomplishment of any defi nite object, contemplates the introduction of slavery here--a scheme which ail men whorl intellects are not clouded by predjudice know lobe the wildest and most chimeriCal that was ever entertained by intel ligent - men. 'As for the division of the State, after more than a year's investigation, we can discover no plausible reason for it. The advocates of the measure bare Bev yet shown what was to be gelded by it; in a political or financial point of view. But the business of the session will turn upon the Constitutional Convention, which will moat probab ly be called. The intended changes, however, will not be effected when it it is called. -We have dates from Neveda up to the 10th inst. With but an interval of one or two days during the past week, -the remarkable and long continued storm is unabated,. The air, however, is milder and the clouds fatlin rain instead of snow. Business in genrel at•Neveda is stagnant for the want .uf the neseuary supplies from the valley, and the mining operations appear to be as gloomy as the weather.— Prices still remain high, and the -stock of flour is almost entirely exhausted. Thecommunicatio.in between Nevada and Sacramento has been cut off for several week., and the few goods received at the former place arrive by pack trains from Eliza and Marysville. . Further meetingsof the miner. suffering under the scarciti_ortiour, have been h eld in various mi ning dist*, and committees specially deputed- to - proceed to this city to ascertain and identify for fu ture action on the part of the miners, the parties who are alledged to be concerned in the flour Mo nopoly. It is a matter of regret that this subject 'should have been so studiously misrepresenteJ as it has been by designing parties in the city. There .are thousands of miners and others in the interior - who believe that the scarcity of provisions is really the result of monopoly in San Francisco. It has excited the passions of men, as we see, directed their attentien to the abatement oral* imaginary et il, Owl prevented them from seeking the natural' and ;roper remedy for a public calamity—a remedy that Would have presented itself to their minds if the Oath bad been laid before them i .instead of interested misrepresentations. Nevada County has taken the initiative toward perfecting the quarts-mining laws of the State, by *doming a code which, fur simplicity combined with practical utility, are well worthy the attention of other mining counties of the State, securing, as they do, permanent and lastinit rights in the tenure of mining property of this nature, that can only be 1 subject to the future action of Congress. The I custom termed 'jumping". is altogether abrojated, , under certain improved regulations, and capital can . now, by observing the new code of laws, be invested with the utmost safety. Let other counties in ibis' dePertmeat emulate the example of Nevada County - in this respect, preparatory to the State Convention proposed tole held in May next. The Grass Val. 1 1 ley district, with its countless "leads" and compa nies, it appears, held meeting. at which the pro ceedings-of the CcitniTy Convention at Nevada were nnitnienoway grmilld.J. The proposed Miner's Convention is engaging the earnest consideration of the people throughout the State, and discussion is bringing about a dew. y * of. definiteness -and tangibility in its plirposes. , t will be a 4bry important body when it corpse to• gather, and will leave a -permanent impresson every interest of the commonwealth. Out _latest intelligence from the southern Mines!, **presents a great improvement in the weather antl the winds. The extreme stringency in the provis lon market is relaxing as supplies come in, and there is every prospect 'that the end of the next. fortnight will find the mining populatioii prosper. ens and happy..., , Mr. Beale,' Indian agent, was ot last account 8 l • II the Tulare county, where e had been most success ful -in his negotiations with the)ndians.

We have dates from Oregon to the 7th inst., bin. no nays of consequence. The affairs of the Terri. . tory remain inn quiescent state. The winter there, as here, has been very severe. ft The long immunity enjoyed 'trout di..asier by steam on this coast, was broken in upon on the 6th, by a collision between the J. Bragdon Ind Com anche, in which the latter was sut.k, and three liven lost. . ' Fame Tea Mmes.—The Relief Committee of Sacramento have discovered bounty. ter more than . .six hundred destitute persons, of whom two hundred and sixty-seven were women and children. The Committee hare remaining tmapproprisied $3,764, and a considerable quantity of merchandise. The Union says the water in the Consume river sad *alley is higher than it was ever before known, and has destroyed a great deal of property. A gen tleman paned two hundred wagons, most of a hick were Stuck fast in the mud, between Jackson sod .Sacraemente. Daowsoto.—Two white men and five China men, in attempting to cross the South Fork American river near Moran Island,on Friday last, in a small boar, were upset, and sue white man and (quruf the Chinamen ,drowned. The current of the river was rapid, owing to its swollen condition, and swept their bodies immediately tinder. The names of the white men have net been given. - MsaTsolit.s.—The water has again receded, so that teams are crossing the Plume with heavy loads, and busineas may be said again to haveconsmenced. Yesterday considerable rain fell, so that the streets still continue muddy, but to-flay has been pleasant, and we indulge tbs. hope that it will continue so fur some time tocome. We noticed one train of mules leave for the mountains, heasilys packed, and should the weather prove favorable, they will be followed by many more dean? the week. UrsTitatous Mueocat:— . LThe Long Bar corres pondent of The ihraryotille Erpress says "We learn that a suspicious circumstance occured not long since at Sartori's Bar. A log was picked up, with the body of a man, stripped of clothing, fasten ed to it with ropes. There were some bruises upon the body, but-it was uncertain whether they - were done by design or by Concussion in coming down the river. No clue has e%er been found to throw any light on the matter. It is very probable that there was a foul murder in the case. The body was found and decently buried." The Union says the Small-pox is raging at Pla cerville, and three persons had died. Mrs. Cleveland, who had been playing the violin et Placerville, died suddenly on Thursday night.— Sbe wee dressing for her e%ening's performance in repairing to the hal', when a knock was heard at the door.

She had resided at Placerville about six menthe.
