NAVAL DISCIPLINE.
One of tho subjects that .takes np a great deal
of time in Congress; is that of naval punishment.
The law to abolish Hogging in the navy is ex
ceedingly offensive to many of tho officers, and
they are begging Congress for the tyrannical au
thority which they once exercised with so much;
pleasure. The aristocratical gentleman who
struts the quarter-deck cannot bear tho thought
that ho bos no power to lash the back of poor
Jack, should Jack happon tochow his quid “ be
tween the wind and his -nobility." no would
like to lord it ovor-tho gallant tar, as a Southern
overseer lords it over the negro slaves. But
that powor will not be given to him. Contempt
ibly mean ns sonja of our Congressmen have
shown themselves to bo on this question, there is
still republican .manliness enough among them
to votedown all attempts-to restore a barbarous
and disgraceful usage on board onr national ves
sels. If flogging is restored, in accordance with
tho prayer ot Aaao gentlemen who boar commis
sions, let them also bo subject to tho same dis
grace, and that will bring them to their senses.
What aro they better than tho men,- thatexemp
tions should bo mode in their favor ? Are they
braver in battle than tho seamen? Havo they
truer hearts, or nobler impulses ?
Whieh ore truly the most honorable, tho un
named bravo who do tho work ond the fighting,
and die with a “ hoorah” from their lips, or tho
officers who get oil tho glory in the offioial re
ports, andaU tho promotions too? Which show
od the truest American hearts, the officers who
recently slunk.from a manly recognition of the
honors done tbo flog of their country, by Euro
pean republicans, at Spezzia and Marseilles j or
the gallant tars who could not repress their hon
est impulses,, and answered with 'an unbidden
shont from tho masts?. Wo must not be misun
derstood; wo should. be sorry to say a word that
would convoy the Idea that wo were not in favor
of a proper degree of discipline nnd subordina
tion on onr national ships; and. that it is alike
tho duty of the officer to command and tho sea
man to.obey; but at tho same time, wo want to
seo no authority given to the ono which, for a
fancied insult or some slight piecndillo, could
hind the other to the mast and lacerate his baak
with a . cat-o-niuo-tails. .The American - tor
should bear no scar upon him but those Whloh
ho can show with prldo, Tho petition to restore
flogging is not approved by all the officors in tba
navy; and it would be welt if Congress would
have published the names of all who favor that
modo of discipline and those who protest against
it; for- wo would like if our country should
over got into a war to be able to compare their
acts; from a consciousness that tho tyrants will
provo the cowards when the day of peril Comes,
and tho men with humanity in their bosoms the
heroes. -
CALIFORNIA.
The California Democratic State Convention
which assembled at Sacramento City, oni tho
26th of February, was in all respeats a harmo
nious body. Wm. H. Richardson, of ; Sutter
county; Jose M. Covarrabias, of Santa Barbara;
Joshua Holden, of Tuolumne, and Henry A.
Lyons, of. San Francisco, were elected Bolcgafcs.
to the Baltimore Convention; and E. D Ham
mond, of Santa Clara; Amos T. Baird, of Ne
vada ; M. M. Wambaugh, of Yolo, and
Charles' Boring, of Solono, Substitutes; but
no instructions wore given in regard to-the Presi
dency. Wo refer our readers to a letter from
our valued California correspondent;' published
in to-day’s paper, giving an interesting acoounf
of the proceedings of the Convention. It will
bo seen that our Pittsburgh friends in that body
stood up manfully for the claims of good old
Pennsylvania.
P. S.—Since the abovo was written and in
typo wo seo it stated in tho Pennsylvanian of
Thursday that all tho delegates are understood
to be in favor of tho nomination of Mr. Buohan
an, except Mr. Holden, whoso first choice is Gen.
Houston.
Got. Bioleb has Tctood the bill pas Hod
by the Legislature incorporating the Charles
town Silver Lend Mining Company, Speculators
and. their mammoth and Mammon sohemes seem
to meet with no favor at the hands of tho Exec
utive.; -The sonjlimonts of the present voto mes
sage-will bo cordially approved of by every good
citizonin the State, whether Whig or Democrat.
Wirentuio Dailt Abo us.— This paper comes
to. us greatly enlarged and printed upon new and
beautiful type, Mr. Dusuaw, tho Editor, is an
Industrious and talented writer, and manages to
get out on ; interesting and influential papor.—
Wo hope he will be liberally patronized by the
good folks down at the “head of navigation.”
Silvbh. Cchbexcy.—The bill engrossed in the
0. S. Sonote on Monday last, from the Commit-'
too on Financo, provides for anew silver coinage,
in pieces of the denomination of half a dollar and
loss, to contain a greater portion of alloy than
the silver coins now in use. The measure is
viowed as one of importance, in .order to retain
in the country a ourrenoy which is so essential
in all business transactions. The bill, if it shall
pass the House of Representatives, is to go into
effect on tho first of May next.
. The .legislature of New Jersey have p&ssod a :
bill appropriating $l,OOO a year, fortwo years,
to aid suoh colored persons in that State as may
desire to remove to Liberia, under the ~ (Election
of the New Jersey Colonization Society. The

WHIGGBaV IN NEW YORK.
Th</ factions of Whiggory in Now York* the
•■Silver Grays” Sia*' Woolly Heads,” still Con
tinua to fight like cats and dogs. The Lockport
Courier, a Fillmore papor, employs this bcauti
, ful language in speaking of the “ Woollies< :
“Ko,man regrets more than Gen. Scott the
bnsq ÜBo tvhich ia being made of his name by a
°f heartless demagogues and scoundrel* in
wls State, for the only purpose of defeating Mr.
The Albany Evening Journal, a Scott paper,
retorts as follows:
"The Courier has recently been purchaaed by
iTO yonnggcntlemen holding places in the Post
Office Department at Washington. This edict
against the .'heartless scoundrels of this State,'
who prefer Gen. Soott for the Presidency, may
therefore be deemed-* official, by anthority.”'
- The Syracuse Journal makes tho following cm
phatie declaration:
“Wo say the Whigs of this State will not vote
for Mr.-Fillmore because of his compromise as
sociations.”: '
. The -Rochester American replies:
“The soonerit is understood here and else
where, jthat suoh is in fact tho groundnpon which
a cliquo of quasi abolitionists* claiming to be
Whigs, oppose Mr.: Fillmore's nomination, the
better. It is of course quite idle to expect the
support of suoh men for any other candidate who
stands on the same groundand it ib absolutely
certain that no ono who dooß not occupy the
same compromise position, can he nominated.
These considerations are worthy of attention."
. It is perfectly manifest that the vote of Now
-Vork will not,”under any circumstances/bo east
for a Whig at the next Presidential oleotion.
Virginia Democratic Convention.
?;■ Thefollowing lotterf com a distinguished mem
ber, of the late Virginia Convention to a genlle
tnan in Philadelphia, is published In the Penn
sylvanian of> Wednesday last. It confirms- the
statement made" by Major Lvkcu, in the letter
we publishedfrom him a few days sinco:
Blcnnoxn, Mnroh 27, 1852.
. Mg Dear Sir:— I could not before now soy to
you in reply to telegraph-roqaoßt, that tho result
of our Convention is, without doubt, most cor
dially in favor of James Buchanan for the Pres
idency. Four to one at least of the delegates
were for him, but thought It impolitic to express
apreferenco. Wo had tho strength to get the
permanent organization, and elect a Buchanan
President, appoint Buchanan Committees, and
Buchanan men carried their resolutions and
platform, and have two to one of his friends on
the electoral ticket- Wo will go to tho Haiti,
tnore Convention with tho voice of Virginia in
his favor to a certainty.
Mr. Baohinan and tl&o Presidency*
. Mr. Buchasas, in a letter to a lady friend in
Washington, thus happily writes in reply to a
handsomely expressed wish that ho might he the
Democratic candidate for tho Presidency:
“ I thank-you most cordially for your kind
wishes in my behalf in regard to tho Presidency.
Should tho Democratic party of the country ele
vate mo to that most exalted station on earth, I
shall endeavor -to perform* its duties honestly
andsuccesefully; if'not, I trust I possess suffi
cient Christian philosophy to enable mo to bear
my fate with oheerfal and oonteutod/rosigaation.
In truth, sofor as lam personally concerned, I
feel no anxious and ambitions longings for tho
prize,, though, if It should coma, gratitude to the
American people will ever-bo engraven on my
heart. \ -
“ From your friend, very respectfully,
“Jambs Bcchasax.”
FROM CALIFORNIA-
connEsroKnuNcß or inn horsixo post.
>. Meat Sir e— l presumo yon will bo somewhat
astounded at finding mo in this city, several
hundred miles from whore yon last heard from
me. I was sent here by the Democrats of Tuo
lumno county as ono of the representatives to
tho State Convention which assembled here last
week
On my way down, I came from Stockton to
Son Francisco on tho etoamor Kale Kearney,
whore I received the kindest possible treatment
from my friend, S. W. Herring. “ Sam,” who
is yet young in years, appears to bo pretty well
advanced in the managing of steamboats, and
Is posted up in evciy part of the business, from
Captain down. . Success to him—and may his
shadow never grow less.
I remained bdt n few hours in San Francisco,
when I took passage in the Camanoho- Captain
Grant, for Sacramento. The Camanoho is a
Pittsburgh boat, and from all appearances, more
than meets tho expectations of her owners. She
runs from San Franoisco to Marysville, tquohiog
at Benicia, SocrnmontoCity, and Fremont. Find
ing so many of my old townsmen on -tho boat,
and receiving so much kindness and attention
from all on board, I almost imagined myself at
home on the Ohio. I cannot speak in too high
terms of tho friendly and gentlemanly offioera
of tho boat. I will give yon the names of the
Pittsburghers who ore attached to the Ca
maubhq :-£apt. Grant and Marshall, (friend
Marshall is first Engineer,) George Grcatrako,
Ham Bennett, Thomas Snee, D. Griffith, T. Neal/
Thos. Calhoon, and Aha Bclema. The gontlo
manly and accommodatingofficers of the Co
manche are making her quite popular with the
mercantile and traveling public.
The Eunlda, Capt. Frisby, also a Pittsburgh
boat, is running on the same trade. I visited
her a day or two since, bat had bat a few mo
ments to make any enquiries respecting her; but
having an invitation from the Captain, I shall
probably take a trip on her soon. It is scarcely
necessary to speak in terms of praise of Captain
Frisby, for Ibclievo bo is well known to you all
as onold, faUhfnl, and gontlomonly officer. Cap
tain Frisby’s nephew, Samuel Frisby, is also on
the Eurilda. '
In Sacramento, I have met quite a number
of Pittsburghers, among whom aro Gov. Bigler,

This. State la fast filling up with ahardy and

How they over got hero, the lord only.knows.—
The “ roughs and • fancy”- have also a numer
ous representative. . Many of the “old originals”
however, have been killed off. _ “Society” has
boon much improved of late, but morals are on
the decline. Hypocrites were not known here a
year or two ago, but now they ore as numerous
as grizzly bears. Every kind of business moves
on so rapidly that an honest man finds Borne dif
ficulty in keeping pace with tho times.
. The weather is delightful;: and while yon are
wrapped up. in great coats and chatting yonr
teeth inconsequence of the cold blasts from the
aortb,-wo are enjoying the benefits of sunshine
and the delightful Southern breeze. The earth
is covered with n luxuriant growth of grass, and
the greater part of tho trees are as green and
boautiful as in mid-summer. Even the oak whioh
Is affected by the change of seasons, is, in my
opinion, more beautiful than over, for although
the leaves havo dropped off, thore still hangs the
numerous clusters of the evor-to-be-remembered
mistlotoo, carrying one book to thogood old days
(not of Adam and Eve) but of the A. 0. D.'s.—
I thought of plucking off a branch and sending

But few of the miners are now doing well, and'

water claims wilt havo to bo settled by tho pistol
and knife. Men are becoming desperate, and
Will havo water if physical force can obtain it_

The Golden Gate whioh arrived at San Francisco
a few days sinoo, had onboard over one thouaand

but there will soon be a rush for Hungary. I
am going to start for “some place" thyself ohort

I hail hoped to have had time to write to yon
fally respecting the Convention, but now I find
it too late for the mail to do so.
I. will only say that but few of the Delegates
came instructed, previous to the election of Dele
gates to the National Convention. A large ma
jority of the Convention were opposed to in
structing, and argued strongly in favor of the
Delegates being. left free and untrammelled.—
After tho Delegates were elected and certain in
dividuals disappointed, tho Douglass party offer
ed a resolution that tho roll be called and ooch
dclegato rise in his place and declare bis first
choice; and as was suspected, in tho course of
the arguments, ono gentleman let the cat out
by saying that this was not intended to imtrucl
but merely to go for what it was worth, and have
its dueweight anil influence, to this, several amend
ments wore offered. After discussing tho ques
tion till a verylato hour, a motion to postpone
indefinitely was mado; tho yeas and nays called,
and after being gono through: with the call,. it
was found that the motion - The Con
vention shortly after adjourned in harmony.—
Tho people do not feel disposed to instruct in fa
vor of any particular candidate, but aro willing
to Bustaia by a united effort the nominco of the
Baltimore Convention, if ho bo Buchanan, Cass,
Douglass, Houston or .any other. Tho Douglass
party did not act fair in the Convention, but no
matter thoy wore headed off. ■ What the views of
tho Delegates are, it is impossible; to ascertain
at present The Pittsburghers in Convention
stood np manfully for the old Keystone. After
the Convention adjourned, n grand mass meet
ing was held in which all participated. Tho
party here Will unite on any candidate who may
