Washihotoh, March, 17th 1850.
We ehall approach the settlement of the
great question now before the country, a little
nearer in the conrte of the ensuing week.
Mr. McClernand, of the House, will bring
forward his compromise resolutions, which
will substantially agree with those of Mr.
Bell, of the Senate, with this difference only,
that he confines the territory of Utah, inhabi
ted by the Mormons, to a, much smaller
space, and by that means enlarges that of
New Mexico, which may afterwards be sub
" divided into two or more States when they
" shall have the requisite federal population.
"The Northern limit of Texas and the South
' em limit of New Mexico and the Indian Ter
ritory, would bo a lino drawn from El Paso
' to a parallel a little north of 34 deg. ThU
' would give Texas enough territory still for
' four Slates, which, when they shall have the
, required federal population, may be admitted
' into the Uniun by the proclamation of the
' President. The territory thus cut off from
' the constitutional tenitory of Texas would
' be about two-fifths of the whole, and the sum
to be paid for it would probably be fixed at
the rate of $15,000,000, (as in Mr. Benton's
.' bill,) to be paid either in annual instalments,
or by a five per cent, U. S. Stock redeema
ble in ten years. So much for Mr. MeCler
nand's plan.
Air. Douglass' plan contains, in the mami
tho same provisions, only in separate bills,
.which is, ol course, far less acceptable to the
, South. Both Mr. McClernand and Mr. Doug
lass make the admission of California with
.her present limits and her present constitu
tion, a conditio sine qua non. Gen. Cats'
.views difler very little from those of Mr.
.McClernand, or from those of Mcssts. Bell
and Webster. So then, if you look round,
.you will find all the prominent men of tho
nation pretty well agreed on some plan of
eettlemeut, and entirely agreed on the ne
cessity of having that settlement now.
On the other hand, it cannot be disguised
that all the presses and letter writers in favor
of the Administration (1 here distinguish be
tween the Administration and the Whig
parly proper) endeavor to impress the public
mind with the idea that the question cannot
be settled, and that it will necessarily go over
to another session perhaps to another Presi
dential election. Now, I can assure yon,
neither Clay nor Webster, nor Cnss will con
sent to such an arrangement; and they hap
pen to have a greater influence in bolhllousrg
than all the members of the Cabinet put to
gether. Mr. Clay says he will not vest till
the question is settled. lie lias no oilier ob
ject in life than to restore peace and quiet to
tho country, and will no doubt give Mr. Sew
ard a rasping which will tell on the Whigs
in tho Empire State.
It is pretty well ascertained that General
Cass was right, when he gave it as his opin
ion that neither the Wihnot Proviso nor the
Missouri Compromise could pass bothllouses
of Congress. The Wilmot Proviso cannot
pass the Senate, and the Missouri Compro
mise cannot pass the House. If Mr. Disney's
able argumentative speech of last week is an
evidence of public opinion among the Demo
cratic party in Ohio ; if his vote is conformi
ty with his speech and I have no reason in
the world to doubt Mr. Disney's moral eleva
tion as a statesman all will go right. Mr.
Disney will have contributed more toward
tho peaceable settlement of all questions in
difpute, and will have a better right to the
appellation of :peaee-make" than, thus far(
any other member of the llouso of Represen
tatives. Observer.
INTERESTING FROM MINESOTA.
The St. Paul's (Minnesota) Chronicle, an
nounces the return of Governor Ramsey, on
the 12th of February, after a three months
absence in the Eastern States.
He reports Minesota stock high among tho
Eastern people, and tho prospects are flatter
ing that we will have a largo immigration
next season.'
, The St. Paul papers are filled with letters
asking information from persons intending to
migrate, which would seem to corroborate
the statement of Governor Ramsey.
I A tract of land north of St. Paul, recently sur
veyed, says the Register, produces about five
hundred dollars worth of cranberries to tho
acre, and the streams and lakes swarm with
the finest trout, bass, pike, pickerel, Sec.
. White sand of excellent quality being very
abundant in tho vicinity of St. Paul, some of
it was taken to the Cincinnati Glass Works
by way of experiment, and with it most ex
cellent glass was made. The experiment
was so successful that a company is forming
in Cincinnati to go into the manufacture of
glass at St. Paul this season.
, A matrimonial fever, the Register also tells
us, ha seized upon all the bachelors in that
region, and wives are scarce and in demand,
being the dearest article in the Minesota Market.

THE PIBLIC EXAMINATION.
The examination of the scholars of Mr.
A. Christman's School took place on Thurs
day last, in the Lecture room of the Ger
man Reformed Church. We understand
the scholars acquitted themselves with much
credit. In the evening there was an exhi
bition according to the published program
me of exercises, consisting of declamation,
reading of compositions, &c, accompanied
during the intervals with vocal music, at
which we were present. The room, which
was handsomely decorated by the ladies
was crowded to excess, and the exercises
seemed to give general satisfaction. The
declamation of the boys, with a fewexcep
ceptions, was too rapid and indistinct in
enunciation, a fault we know, to be almost
impossible to prevent in youth, who find it
difficult to maintain their self possession.
The composition of the young ladies was
highly creditable, even beyond expectation
The young ladies of our Borough have al
ways maintained a high character, in this
branch of education. The music was well
executed and highly entertaining, as we
had a right to expect from the performers,
Messrs. H. D. Wharton, Jacob Youngman,
Martin Luther Shindel, accompanied with
the splendid deep toned bass voice of our
young friend Dr. Charles S. Weiser. The
concluding address of Mr. Christman, on the
subject of Poetry as the hand maid of civili
zation, was a well written well delivered
and a highly entertaining effort.
THE CHAMPION OF "EnEELAND."
A few weeks since we hastily threw to
gether some remarks in relation to the pro
posed new county of Freelaud, in a vein of
pleasantry, comprehensible, we thought, to
every mind of ordinary capacity. These re-
marks, however, havo excited the ire of some
Solomon, who gives vent to his indignation
in the columns of the last Miltonian, in a
strain of the "Bomhastes Furioso" style, that
is really shocking to a nervous temperament.
We acquit the editor of any part or lot in the
matter, and we are sure the senior editor, had
he been nt home, never would have enliven
ed his columns, with such a wonderful ema
nation of fancy, froth and fustian.
Have we, indeed "held up the private opin
ion of an olil tf oman No, no! we have too
great a regard for the sex, to dignify such nn
ama.nn in breeches, with the title of woman
Though we may strip him of this title, we
are willing to let others judge of the npplica
bility of one, suggested by the following
couplet :
What tho' the genr-ona cow give me to qoaT
The milk nutritions ; am I then a calf
We have too much respect for the intelli
gence and good sense of the members of the
Bar in Milton, to suppose that any, except
probably the smallest fractional portion of
them, could endorse such u tissue of balder
dash and nonsense. And we know ihey
would regret, if they were even suspected of
such an absurdity. But of this there is no
danger, for the paternity of the article is made
as obvious, by certain characteristic features,
as if tha writer had placed hii imprint A.S.S
at the bottom.
We need not say, that for the members of
the profession in Milton, and for the citizens
of the upper end generally, we have always
entertained the best feelings. For this among
other reasons, we should very much regret to
be seperated from them.

FROM CALIFORNIA. , '
We give below extracts of a letter from
Mr. E. M. Hall, of Sunbury, now in Califor.
nia to the editors of thin paper. It will be
read with interest not only by hie immediate
friends, but by those whe are unacquainted
with him:
K7" The Pittsburgh Mercury and its
Harrisburg Correspondent, handles Jesse
Miller of the Keystone with great severity
Jesse is determined to effect the nomination
of a favorite for Canal Commissioner, and
therefore launches forth his abuse against
all who are likely to he in his way. Hence
his abuse of Gen. Cameron, and other dis'
tinguished democrats. The Mercury, we
presume, Jesse classes with ourselves, among
the papers with "anti-democratic tenden
cies." The Mercury in regard to this mat
ter says :
"But who is this Jesse Miller 1 Is he a
man whose intelligence, or whose character
should entitle Ins opinions to any extraordina
ry respect f We leave his past caieer, char
acterised, as it has been, by the meanest sy
cophancy, and the grossest inconsistencies
to answer these questions.
But ho must bo dictator! He must tram
pie upon Democratic Conventions, put up hi
own nominees and woe be to all those who
do not obey that mandates of Jesse Miller
Jesse's candidate for Canal Commissioner i
now Mr. Nimrod Strickland of Chester coun
ty. Jesse's candidate '. and woe unto the
Democrat who breathes a word against Jesse
candidate."
The Electric Churn. The editor of the
Howard (Aid.) Advocate, saw one of these
operate, a shoit time ago, on a gallon of milk,
fresh from the cow, and it produced butter in
about u minutes.
Finding the above going the rounds of th
papers, it may not be out of place to say
that we saw one of Francisco's Patent At
mospheric Churns in operation one day last
week, about noon, on three quarts of milk
taken from the cow that morning, whic
produced butter in 2J minutes, and from
cream in two minutes. The butter mad
from the new milk cannot be equalled I
that made from cream, no matter how
sweet or how well it is kept. Hence th
superiority of the Goshen and Orange coun
try butter, which is made from the milk,
and which is often kept perfectly sweet a
whole year.
The right for the manufacture and sale of
these churns, in Northumberland and Co
lumbia counties, has been -purchased by
P. B. Masser & Co., of this place.
Horrible Reve.nce. Skinnino a Man'
Alive. The Galena JefTersonian says, among
the overland emigrats for California last spring
was Mr. Green, of "Green's Woollen Facto
ry," Fox River, and two of his sons, the
youngest a youth. It is reported that while
passing through a tribe of Indians, this young
man, naturally full of mischief, killed a squaw
The tribe having become well advised of the
faot, hastened after the company and over
took them, and demanded the murdeter. At
' first the demand was resisted ; but after the
Indians had informed them that they would
destroy the company if their request was not
granted the youth was surrendered into their
hands. They then stripped him, and in the
; presence of his father and the whole compa
' nay, they shinned him from hit head to his
feet. ' He lived four hours after he v. as thus
flayed.
The Pittsduro Chronicle says the girls
wear to much scarlet this winter, that they
seemed clad in blushes, like modest worth or
a boiled lobster.
One we saw yesterday even went so far
to have Vermillion slippers and ted hair
r Ne wonder the fire bells rang.
Another Union meeting was held
in Philadelphia a lew days since, which
took grounds against the proceedings of the
meeting of the 22d of February, at the same
place, in regard to the slavery question.
The last meeting is opposed to the further
extension of slavery in territory now free.
Hon. John M. Reed addressed the meeting.
His speech, it is said, was an able argument
on the subject, showing the right of Con
gress to impose such restrictions. The
Pennsylvanian, we observe, is finding fault
with these proceedings, advocating, as usu
al, the Southern side of the question. Al
though, Pennsylvania may be willing to
make almost any sacrifice for the take of
the Union, there can be no doubt, but that
there is an almost perfect unanimity with
the people, in favor of the restriction of
slavery to its present limits, though they
may be willing to waive it for the sake of
peace and harmony.
C7 Coffee. The high price of cofiee
has induced a number of substitute that we
tee recommended in the papers, such as
rye, beans, &c. There is, however, a tub.
stitute much cheaper and infinitely superior
to any we see recommended, that is seldom
noticed we mean good cold water. Coffee
we believe, has more to do in causing dys
pepsia, than any thing taken into the sto
mach. The great rise in cofiee is princi
pally owing to the tyrannical conduct of
his sable Majesty Faustiu the 1st, the Em
peror of I lay ti.
UAnnisnuiio a- siivninv rail road.
We see that considerable opposition is
made to the passage of the supplement to
this act, by the Philadelphia interests, on
account of a clause which permits the com
pany to connect the road with any railroad
now constructed or to be constructed,
through Perry or Cumberland counties.
This they allege, is but a trick or fraud, to
make a connection between the York and
Cumberland road and the Pennsylvania rail
road, for the benefit of Baltimore, which is
26 miles nearer than Philadelphia.
When this same argument was used to
persuade the Philadelphiant to make the
Sunbury and Erie Road, it was not heeded,
and now forsooth, they are opposed to any
improvement in that direction, for fear
Baltimore will overreach them. Since the
above was written, we received the follow.
ing letter from a correspondent at Harris
burg, with the gratifiing intelligence of the
passage of the bill in the House.
The bill was so amended as to confine
them to the county of Dauphin, and to cross
the Susquehanna river above the junction
with the Juniata.
IUnRisnuRG, March 20, H50.

The supplement to the Harrisburg and Sun
bury Railroad Charter was taken up yester
day and although considerable opposition was
manifested, passed first reading.
It was again taken up this morning, and
on motion of the Representative from your

readings. It will now go to the Senate and

W The bill for the election of the
Judges, passed the House on Friday last,
only three members, viz : Judge Porter,
Cornyn and David Evans, voting against
it. To make it a part of the Constitution,
now only requires the sanction of the peo
ple which it will receive at the next elec
tion. The next legislature will then pro
vide for the election of the judget at the
next ensuing election.
KJ The Forrest Divorce Case. The
New York Mirror alluding to the fact that
the Senate reported a bill in thit case, says,
that "judging of the character of that body
from their conduct on similar occasions,
they would not be surprised that the report
would be adopted." Our legislature, we
confess, has become somewhat notorious for
its liberality in granting divorces, especially
to pretty and interesting women.

Harrisburg, March 19th, 1850
A new interpretation of the resolution which
recently passed both branches of the Legis
lative to the election of Judges by the people,
has been given, in a written opinion of Walter
Forward. The resolutiou declares, that not
less than three months after its passage, the
amendments embodied in it shall be submit
ted to the people It is the opinion, so I am
informed, of Mr. Forward, the intention of
the framers of the Constitution was, for any
amendment to be voted for at a special elec
tion, as the people could then vole without
any bias. In view of this, a bill will be in
troduced, providing for the special election
to come olf tome time in July, which, if pas
sed, will give the people an opportunity of
voting for their Judges at the October elec
tion. It is to be hoped no impediments will
be thrown in the way of a consummation to
devoutly to be wished for.
Auburn, California,
Forty mills north Sacramento City, I
January 20, 1850. )
Since the commencement of the rainy sea
son, we have been barely paying expenses,
which is quite contrary to our expectations.
We, however, work every favoiable day.
Another treat thing against us is, the tcaroity
of gold in this vicinity. We have all along
been at work in the ravine which we started
at, working out the sides, which pays not
more than 4, 5 and 6$ per day to a man.-
As soon as the rains are over, I am going far
her North to work in the dry diggings, and
will remain there until the rivers are low
enough to be worked.
The winters here 1 would prefer to our
cold ones at home, if it were not for the fre
quent rains. When we have a clear day, il
is delightful neither too cold, nor too warm
I am far from believing this country to be
as unhealthv u it is represented. It is true
we hear of a great mnny deaths; mil this is
in a majority of eases, bronchi iiIhuiI by ex
posure tha few in the "Old Thirteen'' rould
undergo. The little sickness I have evperi
enced since here, was produced by exposure
that would have laid me up for months nt
home.
Sacramento city hat turned out, at many
persons predicted --a miserable location for a
town. Being very low, the greater part of
the city is overflowed whenever we are viei
ted with a heavy rain.
There was a ball at Sutlers Fort last week
Quito a large and respectable company were
present to engage in the merry dance. Al
though we cannot number, in proportion to
the population, as many of the fair sex as
you ; slill there are some here, and, I can as
sure you, Ihey are good specimens of the sex
In fact, they are perfect heroines; and, in
coming to thit distant land, to share the fate
of the sterner tex, in a lottery more hazard
out than those which infest your cities, they
have exhibited a tpirit ef devotion and disin
terestedness that deserves the highest com
mendation. Those at the ball were not only
handsome, but some of them were very in
telligent. I never saw a company of persons
eniov themselves more, although many of
them had met with nothing but miafortuu
since their entrance in thit land of "golden
dreams." This re-union had a very happy
effect on all present. The unfortunate
turned to their arduous labors with renewed
energy and spirit, hoping, with the smile o
fortune, to be soon able to commingle with
their friendt al home in the same happy mm
ner as they did at the Fort.
But few letters mid papers reach me fro
home. The Post Office nt San Finnrisco
in a very confused condition. Many of the
letters are never delivered ; and when we do
get them, they cost us a sum that would not
be considered low postage with yon. From
San Francisco to this place, the carriage of a
letter is $2.00 to San Frnucinco 31,00. The
express lider was drowned en his way to this
place, and all the papers he had with him
were lost, among which were, I suppose, my
anxiously looked for letters.
The Indians are still stealing cattle, Sic.,
from the Americans, both North and about
these diggings. Some 20 miles North of this
the Americans burnt their village, anil killed
several of thrni for it. They, as is natural,
retaliate, ami there i now a married man,
with a large family, missing.
Drer have been very plenty nbout here,
until the prem'iit month. Grisly Bears are
in rathpr loo great numbers for comfort. A
number of them, with their cubs, have been
killed in thin ueiuhboi hood. The Wolf, or
Kuyota, are around us as thick as bees. They
are a pretty animal about as large as a com
mon sized dog, and perfectly harmless. I
like to hear them howl at night. They do it
to perfection.

They were taken up awfully crushed and

Provisions till keep up to an enormous
price. A short time since we bought a bar
rel of flour which cost S160. It hat been u
high, however, as 81,25 per pound by the
barrel. Fortunately for us, if even the dust
is scarce at the present time, we have on
hand a good supply of provisions.
We were visited with snow the other dayi
which lusted but a few hours, the tun being
too hot to leave it lay any time, snow is

mountains.

CHEMICAL AFFINITY. - Thit law in
Chemistry it remarkably illustrated in the
equilibrium between the supply and watte in
diseased animal matter through the agency
of G. W. Merchant't Celebrated Gargling Oil.
It it well known that chemical action takes
place only under certain circumstances; thai
tome bodies have no tendency lo unite pro
periiet. The fotmer are said lo have no if
riNiTY for each other, ibeir mixture it mere
ly mechanical, and no change laket place.
The latter cltu of bodies, in which it inclu
ded the Gargling Oil in its application lo mor
bid animal matter, act by their affinity for
each other, their action being productive of
chemical phenomena, and Ihe properties of
one or both are altered. Hence the ttiong
affinity of the constituents of the Garbling Oil
to unite with the elements of the moibific
matter, may be referred lhe beneficial influ
ence exerted over so great a variety of disea
ses, most of which were considered at incu
rable. Sold by H. Matter, Sunbury, and other
Drugf itte in the V. Statee. '
