T HE GAZETTE.; Krnew your Sabstriytioih The present and ensuing month closes the year lor a large number of subscribers. Those who wish to take advantage of the advance terms, had better send on their nionev, as A DOI.I.AU w ill now pay for a \ ear —a fact worth remembering. Duty of the Whig Party. The Connecticut Courant, in an article on this subject, savs that under the exis ting circumstances of our party, the first matter of advice is that we should perse vere in our exertions. Defeat we have experienced before. Some of our most distinguished victories have been obtained after a series of desheartening defeats. Encouraged by unlooked for success, and aided by the feeling that such victories showed that their principles would be perpetual, our opponents have often acted out their real views and lost their supre macy. It will be so now. Some ultra radical measure, some movement, calcu lated to open the eyes of the more con servative of their party, will mark their progress the coming session of Congress. It has always been so, and will be so again. Men, intoxicated by the supposed success of their measures, can never rest without rushing into some ultraism of im prudence, that will change the current o!~ public opinion. But there is no necessity of discourage- j ment for lite future. In Massachusetts, if the election had been held upon the same principles that it is everywhere out of New England, Mr. Winthrop would have been elected by 20,000 majority. In New York, an even vote in a poll of half a million is no discouraging sign. In Pennsylvania, a vote of one hundred and seventy thousand is 110 despicable capital to open shop with another year. In tlhio, the whole vote at the late election, j was 30,000 less than in the Presidential c mipaign of 1814, with an increased num ber of voters in the State. There is no question where the deficiency fell. Let no one be disheartened. An ad herence to our fundamental principles will bring again to our banner our scattered ranks, swelled likewise by the faults and follies of our opponents. Another duly is to head our divisions, as soon as possible. Every means that honest men can employ should be used to harmonize discordant opinions, to gather together again all scattered friendships, and to bind the party once more in one brotherhood. Forbearance of disagree ment is necessary on both sides. There are points enough fox agreement without dwelling upon minor differences. There are important principles enough to coalesce, without makiug "one idea" the basis of our actions. From the Baltimore American. The Revolution in France- It would be to indulge in vague 4?ou lectures to attempt to prognosticate the ul timate result of Louis NAPOLEON'S bold usurpation in France. The daring char acter of the act will no doubt commend it to the admiration of the French people, who, with all their love of liberty, are subject to the fascination of power reso lutely wielded and surrounded with eclul. The extension of the right of suffrage to the whole people by President Box.v- PARTE'S Proclamation may have the cfiect of confusing the issue which otherwise would have been distinct between the ad herents of Louis NAPOLEON on the one hand and the democratic and socialist parties on the other. The President himself claims to rule in the name of the people, and may declare himself as good a democrat as any one. Hut the hostile elements arc powerful in France, and now that the matter has catne to an arbitrament of force, the adversaries of the President will have to make up their minds to a de cisive struggle. They have the means 110 doubt of a sharp conflict and perhaps a protracted one. liut we need not apprehend in France itself, we think, the recurrence of any of those shocking excesses which have at tended revolutions and civil wars heretofore in that country and in other parts of Europe. There is no royalty with its interwoven affinities to be uprooted as will he the case in Germany, Italy and Hungary, when the people will rise against their hereditary rulers there. We may look, however, by every arrival from Europe to hear of interesting events.— The lirst chapter of a new volume in the history of European affairs has opened— who can venture to judge in advance of the closing one ? 1 ime onl} can disclose. A HOUSE CLOWN UP.— Mr. George Ralston, of King's Creek, Hancock county, Va., a lew days ago, purchased a keg of powder lor the purpose ol blasting rocks, and placed it in Ins cell :r for safe keeping. During his absence, his little son, aged sic years, not being aware of the consequences, applied a torch to the keg, and instantly tho whole building was blown to atoms, and the boy, with another child, killed, and ten others seriously injured. FftOM CALIFORNIA. I he steamer Daniel Webster arrived at ; New N ork on Monday morning, from San Juan de Nicaragua, bringing advices from San 1 rancisco to the 10th ult,, fifteen days I later. I The mining accounts continue highly favora • ble. Sheriff Buclianan had been shot at tlie Sono | rian camp, near Sacramento, by a party consist- I i n S chietly of Mexican marauders. The Vigi : lance Committee for Sacramento were active in the matter, and had made several arrests. Ttie ! last report says that the Sheriff had died of his wounds. ! Several other murders had been committed in the neighborhood of Marysvilie and Sacramento | by the Mexicans. A large number of miners have been driven by the rains to seek winter quarters in San Fran -1 cisco. The rains have flooded ttie cellars and streets in the lower part of the city. The most prominent topic of discussion is the ! much agitated question of the division of the State Much difference of opinion exists, but j nothing definite had been done except the draw- I ing up of an address to the Legislature by the ; Santa Barbara Convention. Many believe that slavery must be introduced into Southern Cali fornia, and therefore countenance the division project. An Indian disturbance had occurred at Los | Angelos, arising out of the Indian game called the Peon. The Americans and Californiuns ; killed eight Indians, and a uumberof whites were i injured. The agriculturists were busy in different sec : tions of the State, preparing the ground for the next year's crop, which it is expected will be more abundant than ever. In the South the vintage has fully commenced, and th vine growers are busily engaged in gath ering grapes and converting them into wine and brandy. The quantity manufactured will be immense. A large number of persons are daily leaving California; many being bound for the gold re gion in Australia. The Sidney papers are tilled to overflowing with the most glowing accounts of the gold mines near that city, and of the dis covery of many new and extensive rich dig gings. I 1! e whale shipment of specie for the fort night will probably be between two and a half and three millions, including that in the hands of passengers. The papers are less filled with the horrible than usual, which argues well for the prosperity of the State. SAW FRANCISCO, NOV. 15, 1851.— Since my despatches of the Ist instant, we have little of interest to note. Everything remains quiet; no excitement in trade or politics, while our social state in general is improving. Immense quantities of hay were destroyed by the rains on the Bth inst., both lieie, and in the interior, w here there are no barns and sheds— the hay being in bundles prepared for market. The losses on hay shipped to tins country from the Atlantic, will be large the present season. The arrivals are considerable, while there is no sale for it, a decided preference being given for native hay, of which the crop in California is more than sufficient for her own wants, and has been sold as low as §ls to S2O per ton, quality superior. Our city continues to improve, by the erection of a large number of first-class brick and stone tire-proof buildings in ail parts of the city, but more especially on lots recently filled up with sand, extending far out into the Bay—the foun dations of which arc not of the most solid char acter, and many of the buildings thus erected (the foundations being laid on plank . have set tled bodily from one to two feet. Farmers in the Atlantic States would do well to get some seed of our " Burr clover, ' which is of luxuriant grow th, yields immensely of burrs, each of which contains a number of seeds, and upon them the cattle of our hills eat and grow fat, when to all appearances they are feeding upon a barren waste. Oftentimes the ground is covered to the depth of several inches with the seed, which is very nutritious, being of an oily substance, and that in great abundance. Would any of your millers, who are cramped by trifling profits at the least, coaic out here and erect a large grist mill, they would be doing the Sta'e some service; and what is better for them individually, stand a good chance of lining their own pockets with the shining gold. Any quan tity of superior wheat, rye, barley and oats can be raised here; had we only ini lis to grind the former, we would soon be quite independent of Chili and other foreign ports. Mr. Shelton has a new variety of barley that is certainly the most extraordinary ever raised. The grains are nearly double the usual size— plumpand firm. A few of the seed were brought from Russia by a Frenchman, from which tie raised in this Stale a small crop. It yields seventy-five bushels to the acre, each bushel weighing sixty-six pounds. The few bushel-, thus raised at Bear Creek, were purchased for seed at twenty-five cents per pound, a small sample of which I send to New York, which will be exhibited at your Corn Exchange. At ten o'clock this evening we fiaii a heavy rain, accompanied by strong southerly winds, and we may now consider the rainy season fair ly commenced. Immediately preceding the fail ing of rain, " the earth shook and trembled" for an instant, being the third shock of an earth quake distinctly heard in our city, and ot course duly recorded, within the last four davs. ER'gasi! <nif'S-fi£ook. rriiE illustrated LADIES' KEEPSAKE, nnr i.f the nirwtdc *■ sirable Family Bonks ever published.: Illustrated with twelve splendid engravings of the most i <lc lira ted wo. men of tin: Bible, with descriptive sketches or memoirs of each—[engravings on steel, by Bannister]— Edited by A AUBOTT —One volume, Svo.—tu various styles of Binding—now ready.
