The hopes of the Dimas of this important im provement, are again re kindled, and they are en- i comaged to believe that the miserable policy which has heretofore defeated its completion, will soon give way to a more liberal and enlightened course . The i Lejiiolature has before it, several porjects for the completion of the North Branch, and we trust that some one of them will be adopted. The North has freely contributed her share, towards the vari ous lines of improvement which are enriching other sections of the State; she has seen her favorite work, reFoquished, and for ten years •patiently awaited the time when the State should be able again to resume it. That time has now come—no more favorable opportunity, in half a century, may occur, and the North asks, as a right, that her inte yests shall receive some censideration at the hands of the Legislature. She asks it, espacting, too, to receive it. it is a useless waste of time, to &drone° facts and arguments, to prove that the_ North Branch, when .ompleted, will be one of the most profitable im provements in the State. For years, the ablest Pens in this section have been doing this; and every in telligent person is ready to admit the fact ft is an unwise policy, then, to put of 5 the completion of lice work, on the scare of econ omy, for a single hoar. It stands now in remarkable preservation. lint a few years more, and it will be in such a dila pidated condition, from freshets and other 'muses, that thrtwo and a half millions, will be entirely toggle the State. That amount can be rendered pcodnitive, by a wise anti timely application of bn: one million of dollars more; unless members of the Legislature will permit themselves to be governed by selfish and Hilbert:Li motives. The North has a deep interest in this matter.— The llentitllete is universal and strong. They feel that they have waited long enough, and that their request is rms.) 'able,. and about& be granted.— They will remember, with regard and reverence, those whdisavew) nobly and generously pot their shoulders to the wheel, to help forward this work, so vital to their interests, and so near to their hearts.

On Wednesday, the tidy _Slr. Cooper,. from the major ity of the Committee of Ways and ileav, made a report recommending that a loan of 41,100,- 000 be negotiated for the completion of the North Branch Canal, and a more prudent and economical tulminialmtion of the government, the abolition of the military system, the taxation of oyster cellars, and a decre'as of the namter of Agents on the State improvements, Mr. lliatlkt then roe and stated that this report did not meet with his approbation, but that he would not trouble the House with a majority report. On the 15th, however, Mr. Biddle, from the mi nority of thefom mates of Ways and Means, made a report, dissenting from that made yesterday by Mr. Cooper, from the majority of that Committee, denying that an increrafie of taxation for the Com pletion of the North Branch Canal is a portion ot the policy of the present administration, and declin ing to take upon themselves the responsibility of advising its completion by additional. taxation, sub raining that as u a question for the Legislature, when the committee shall have complied with the resolution, in reporting the present and probable future resources of the Commonwealth." • On the With, Mr. Nicholloo, of Bucks, rose and stated he bad signed the minority report of thecom ininee of Ways and Means, relative to the comple tion of the North Branch Canal, (presented by Mr. Biddle, yesterday ; ) withotut understanding its pur port, and asked to have his name stricken from the journal, ,which the House granted. The same day. we learn from the Ledger, Mr. Roberts piesented a long but most elaborate and conclusive supplemental report in laver of comple ting the Ninth Branch Canal and avoiding the In clined Plane. The reading of it had proceeded half an hour when its further reading was postponed, and 1000 copies of it ordered to be printed, togeth er with the previous reports. It is about as long as the Governor's message, but it is a perfect hand 'book of facts and statizticS' in *elation to the subject treated ot. The coal, iron, and lumber trade, is fully recisw. ed, and information given on all the vorious resour ces of the State, sod those of the counties of New York, which would be reached by the completion of-the Canal. So complete a report, embracing so cast a mass of facts and valuable statistics, has not been presented to the Legislature fora long period. The chances of the passage of the North Branch bill, are thus spoken of bythe same correspondent : There can be little doubt big • that the appmpria • tioti to complete the North Branch Canakand to avail the Inclined Plane ? at Pitt'e Wend, win be passed. There has been a gitod deal of excitement among the friends of these measures, but from the tranquility that now exists, and the good feeling that appears to pervade, I presume some under standing has been arrived at between the friends of the two projects; the only difficulty is, to devise from what source the hinds are to be raised. The advance of price of the State Securities, since the arrival of the Niagara, has elated the friends of the proposed appropriations, and yoit should not be sun prided if bill was to be passed at an early period.

No thii% but the retmcession of the District and the admission of the Territories u States, will prevent, and there is but a slum time left in which to carry these measures. Will Gen.

Polk are pawkl according to promise. Nor can they, if they would, keep beck the slavery question. January loth, 1849, The news has just reach bete of the passage of Wilmot Proviso instructions through our ' Legisla ture. If this is true, then them remains but one free State to pass them and that is lowa. I pm. pose now to review the progress of this measure, to show our democratic friends bow needlessly they have injured themselves by opposing this great measure of governmental reform, or rat he r of precaution. My first vote for it was • at the first Congress I was here. It was proposed 'by Mr. Winthrop to the Oregon bill and paged by a vote of 129 to 69. Every titan from Illinois voted for it and every free State member of Congress save three, viz: W. J. Brown, of Indiana, C.. 1 Ingersoll, of Pa., and Jere miah Russell, of New York. Then not a word was said in - derogation. No body called us Abolition ists or Whigs. It was not then a party question, And why made so now 1 This Oregon bill was defeated in the Senate. Then, we had not become involved in the Mexican War, arid Oregon was our only unorganized Territory. At the first session of the next Congress Mr. Polk proposes to bg a portion of Mexico. Not doubting but Mr. Winthrop or some other Whig would offer the same amendment as had been in clieed-in the Oregoir bill rod wishing not to be be hind the whigs in opposition to gaiety extension, a few of us democrats held a consultation which resulted in)making Mr. Wilde* the first Men to oi ler It. The. Proviso was embraied in the bill, and no vote Was taken on it separately. But the bill passed by a rote of 85 to 80. The bill was sent to the Senate and would have passed that body . but 1 for Senator Davis, of Mass., who spoke against time and so prevented action on the bill. Gen. Can, himself was in the Senate then and would have voted for it .No one then thought of making the Wilmot Proviso a earty test. Though I alone vot ed for it from Minot, on the Mexican bill, yet I was soon after re-elected and no one seemed to at. tech the leant impedance to how I voted on the question. N. I During the,varation, a mnsultation is had by the South as to bow this Proviso shall be beaten and i tre annexation of Slave Tettilor; !VA Z.;evented, I no democrats bad the administration and they al so had both houses of Congress. So it is agreed to make opposition to it a test of democracy. Amor. dingly a few nor hem papers in the secret broke the ground. Father Ritchie copied the articles, and de clared that no malt should be considered a friend of the Admmistraticm who should favor the Provi so. From that moment the strongest efforts have been made to load down the democratic party with slavery extension. They piled on the load and T have broken our back for four y at least. The whig party has not injured iteelfb any interference with the question of Slavery. 1 organ bete, the National Intelligences , never allu este it in a party light. i Whilst the war co .tinned, the , opposition to the Proviso was masked under a fear that it would em barrass the war. And some then even charged me with opposing the War 'because I was for the Pro viso. Well, the war was at last finished and the opotrente of the Proviso were the opponents still. Gen. Cain war made to believe that - he could not be elected Onless be wrote some- thing Me the Nicholson letter. He wrote it and that alone killed him. And during the contest, any body, that Would not endorse the Nicholson letter, was a whig, a Mexican whig, Sm., kit. Men were read out or rather kicked out of our party who were an honor to it, and whom we woeld gladly get beck again, and all became they would not say they believed in the Nicholson letter when they.did not. Now all this comes of the impolicy, as well as injustice, of trying to Make the democracy of the north shut its eyes to the designs of thelouth upon the New Territories and to the iniquities of the slave' trade in the District. Upon these matters in the North there should be but onsiepiniori and one ac tion among the people of all parties. The demo- evade party should be as much anti.slavery as any other party in the north where the Constitution gives the power to act ; and, instead of quitting it, our friends who voted for Mr. Van Buren should stay in it and help make it so. But, thunder a* its enemies may, bold as many southern . conventions as they please , the Wilmot Proviso can never be beaten in the Howse again, nor in the Senate alter the 4th of March next. Ls triumph is dating, unless the 'territories are admit ted gas States; and slavery, will beabolished in this District, too, anima it is retroceded. The northern democrats and the northern whip conjointly are bound to do this without the 441 of any third party. The man who, at this late day, thinks to stop these great Meeenros, as like the man who larscrose the rail road track te stop the - cam. He is nut over at awe. . Let the democrats then lead o ff in measures ihicia in a eaideatcan. destroy the democracy. but ' which the :democracy ran never destroy. Fehr teen out of fifteen free States have already_ slacken, and the fifteenth will soon speak, or the people willdoqra its rulers - 10 that perdition which always awaits those who attempt to arredpopular reforms.

His borne was surprised by an armed party, and tbe whole family, =above stated, stated, were barbarously tuurderei,anik the house rifled of its golden treasure. The perpetrators of this horrid deed are still at large; of the other lee cases, four are highway robberies, committed on persons returning with gold from the mines. In a word, I may say with troth, that both porno& and property are insecure in U pp er California at. this time • and I am sorry to add that in all cases of outrage agd violence, as yet discovered, emigrants from the United Stases, disbanded volunteers, runa way sailors and deserters from the army and wry are believed to be perpetrators. The mutinies, attended - with murder, to which I alluded in my letter No. 43, have been fully con firmed, sad—not without good reason—has ceased much uneasiness to shippers of gold from this coast. To guard each and every vessel sailing hence with large sums in gold dust, would require every ship of the navy. The best that I can do is to keep the vessel of this squadron at sea as much as poem ble, plying between the ports most frequented by our mercantile marine.

I have found it necessary to issue and make public, in the hope. that it may have some tendency to prevent a repetition of such acts as have recently on board the English schoott ' er Amnia and the Ch il i= bark Adelina. A recent arrival from Callao reports that the Ad elina had been taken 'into that port, and the muti neers, eight in number, promptly executed. I had received a request from the Governor it Valparaiso, through Mr. Moorhead, our consul at that pol, to arrest and safe-keep the Adelina conk! be fortunate enough to fall in with her co the Mex ican coast, where it was supprsed the mutineers might take her. 1 hive the honor to be, your obedient servant, THOMAS, A P C. JONES, dianakamira•brelatat F. 9 Naval Parees.Paasie Gleam 1119► Jolla 1. Mame, liecretary at tlie.NaTT. Ftvert—MarrAury.--Since the tidings of great success in the gold plater were sound ed through the length and breath of the land, and the gathering together of all classes to emass fortune in one common pursuit, there has been an amount of sickness in California, which may very well appear astounding abroad, and infinfiztling to the adventurer 1,012 intlef liemitit has been aimmtbgly prostrated, and anumber of deaths have occurred, even to our midst. Our records show mortality to a degree never before known in the country. •In the town of San Francisco, during the past Summer season, eight deaths have taken place from fever contracte d at the North; and in about the mines, sickness and death have frightfully pm railed. Now, to the unhappy consequences atten. ding many who have labored in the mines, in the sodden deprivation of health, climatic diseases are to be understood, in part, the cause. Cases of in termittent fevers are, and have been frequent bin will any one attempt to attribute the unusual sick ness that has been, and is prevailing, to a climate such as ours? . We are convinced, that one of the principal cau ses of sickness lies in the enormous acts of impru dence of those engaged in mining, and otherwise operating in the valley of the Sacramento, are guil ty of. We believe the preservation of health to depend almost entirely upon self-treatment, self restraint. lithe secret of this fever disease were generally -understood, would not the fearful excesses indulg ed-in—the overtasked mind and body forma prom inent part 1 Were the system properly fortified against climate snacks. by those about entering the field of labor, regular diet and exercise observed, and prudence to controllhe operations of the mi ner, need we remark, he better result produced An ill-advised movement, we venture to say, is that of a removal of the pmient from the interior and mining country to the climate of the coast, when stricken down and proswited under e burning fe ver.
