and Austria are united in the East, France
will not permit nny attempt at a separation
beyond tho Alps." This is regarded as a
threat to raise Hungary and Italy if Austria
sides with Russia. The samo article also
says: "France cannot suffer the integrity of
the Ottoman empire to bu broken by aggres

From Hi All Culifuruia )
The political excitement during tba fort
night has beeu intense. The bribery ease,
w herein Mr. Palmer, of the banking house
of Palmer, Cook Si Co., was accused of hav.
ing attempted, to bribe Senator Peck to use
his influence to bring on the senatorial elec
tion, was closed bafore the Senate, on the
3J. Mr. Palmer was acquitted by a vote of
2b to 3.
Subsequently a resolution, declaring that
senator J'sck had not intentionally accused
Mr. Palmer falsely, was pawed with only
one opposing vote. Palmer is known to be a
friend of Broderick, and it is universally con.
eeeded that the Utiei will be eleoted United
JbUlei Senator, if .so eketinii be held Ihit
session, and it was expected by those who
brought the alleged bribery before the Hen
ate and the public, that it would Injur Bro
derick's prospects; but the effect seems to
have been rather the contrary.
A good deal of surprise and mortification
was created by the announcement that the
coupons of the State' Bonds had not been paid
when due at the Exchange Bank in New
Yoik. The Slate bankers, Palmer, Cook &
Co , have informed the Legislature that th ir
house had more than sufficient funds at the
Exchange Bank to pay the interest. A reso
lution Vas introduced into the House to vote
thanks to Duncan, Sherman & Co , for having
stepped forward to pay the interest, but the
resolution was laid over till farther informa
tion be received.
The proceedings of the filibusters in Low
er California have excited a good deal of in
dignation about San Diego.
The celebrated Peralta claim, covering
about sU'y thousand acres of land across the
bay, cast of the city, was decided by the
United Stales Land Commission on the 8th.
Tnic Mines. There have been four or five
rainy days during the fortnight, and the gul
ches and dry diggings continue to be well
supplied with water. The news from all
portions of the mines is cheering, and there
are many rpports of rich diggings latelj dis
covered in diflerenl mining districts.
At Cherokee Flat rumor has it that a vein
of decomposed quartz was found, about six
Inches in diameter, which is unbroken, and
has proved exceedinsty rich. From 200
pounds of dirt 28 pounds nf gold wore washed.
Considerable excitement has been the con
sequence. High prices, even $50,000, it is
said, have been offered for the claim, or a
share in it, and refused.
At Chips Diggings, a boulder weighing
about four tons was found in a tunnel, and in
the boulder was found a vein of gold estima
ted to be worth 8 10,000 nt least.
OREGON.
Our iiews from Oregon is to the 3d. The
cold weather experienced here about the
20ih of January, was severely felt in Oregon.
The Columbia River was obstructed by the
ico, so that for more than a week there was
no communication between Astoria and the
country above.
It is said that coal has been found in Polk
county. '
Further difficulties had occurred with the
Indians on Coqnille river. Some alleged out
rages by the red men were avenged by a
party of fifty miners, who attacked an Indian
village, and killed sixteen of the aborigines.
WASHINGTON TERRITORY-
Our news is to the 1st. There has been
bnt little communication with Oregon, by
reason of the cold.
It is said that Governor Stevens has notified
the Hudson Bay Company, that they must
withdraw from tho Indian trade within the
territory, on the 1st of July.
The Governor appeared determined to en
force the strictest observance of the United
Slates laws relative to tho intercourse with
Indians.
LOWER CALIFORNIA.
Our latest dates from Eiisenada are to Jan
27lh.-
.About the 20th, Walter addressed a pro
clamation to his men preparatory to the
march for Sonora, exhorting them to follow
him to rescue the people from the tyranny of
the Mexican Government and the atrocities
of the Apaches. On the 24ih, 45 men left
his camp against his will. The two parties
came near having an open battle, and sever
al officers actually ordered his artillerymen
to fire tho little field piece at the seceders.
The man at the gun refused. Tho foily-five
men arrived at this city, nnd report that the
food i( of the coarsest kind ; that there is no
pay save Sonora sciip, and that private pro
perty is taken without ceremony. Tho filli
busters remaining, obout 150 in number,
were to start for Sonora about the 5th of
February. It is reported that the filibusters
intend to take Tiburon Inland, about 100
miles above Guaym.is, and that they have
made arrangements tc have a steamer as a
transport.
WHOLESALE MCRUEItS.
Two Men shct, and another Hung by the
People. We just learn of death and destruc
tion by wholesale, on the Indian lands in the
neighborhood of Big Prairie, between Berlin
nnd Steven's Point. The fuots, as we are in
formed, are these : Last fall Mr. Frederick
Cart v right, formerly of Delaware county,
State of New York, was arrested for the mur
der of a Mr. Furinan. The act of last fall
was the result of law difficulties between
Cartwright and Furmanj Cartwright was
committed to jail at Ot-likosh awaiting trial.
Under our laws of last winter abolishing
capital punishment, Cartwright was admitted
to bail, and was at home. Some of his
neighbors who had taken sides against him
in his difficulties, deeming the law insuffi
cient to meet their views, undertook to drive
him from the county, or, as is alleged, to get
him out of the way, dead or alive. Two
'men, on Saturday last, made some assaults
upon Cartwrighl's premise.", in which Ca't
wright fired a pistol, immediately killing one
of the assaulting patty. The remaining one
drew from the premises the body of his dead
comrade, and then made several attempt tj
fire the building. Tho wife of CmUvrigfu
extinguished the flumes several limes, and
as often the man relumed to his purpose,
until Cartwright put a slop to the matter by
firing another pistol aud fatally wounding the
remaining assailant.
During Sunday the neighborhood was
aroused and attempts made to get hold of
Cartwright, for the purpose of lynching him,
but by the aid of friends Cartwright succeed-
e I in teep n? them off until Monday, when
he was teid by one hundred men and sum-
mirily hung until dead.
Our informant could give none of the par

LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS.
The members of both houses lelt Harris
burg on Tuesday, the 9th ins!., in a special
train for Philadelphia, where it is their in
tention to spend a week or ten days and a
good deal of the people's money in a giand
spree. This manner of passing the time
was not provided for by the Constitution,
but it is probably .more congenial to their
dispositions and more fitted to their capaci
ties than the object of their session at the
capitol. The framers of the Constitution
possibly did not contemplate this kind of a
peripatetic assembly, Which perhaps they
ought to have provided for ; as there is
less danger of being burdened with bad
laws while the law-makers are on a bust,
than if the collected wisdom is at work in
its proper place and probably the morals!
of the members are in no greater danger.
It has become parliamentary usage in
Pennsylvania to have one legislative ex
cursion at least duiing the winter. It may
be a trip to Baltimore to enable members
to form an idea of the kind of enactments
needed by the York and Cumberland Kail
Road Company ; a jaunt over the Pennsyl
vania Road to Pittsburgh, to make the
policy ol a repeal of the tax on tonnage
more evident ; or the freedom of the con
solidated Quaker City as a reward for their
promptness in pawing the consolidation
bill ; to say nothing of the family parties
given to the Maryland House of Delegates
or any other public bodies. This kind of
thing was formerly confined to New York
Aldermen. The legislature of Pennsylva
nia, w hose unpaid debt ot Forty Millions
entitles her to a high rank, have imbibed
the spirit of the age, and given a prestige
to sprees on a national scale.
On Friday the Governor and both Hoa
ses took an excursion up and down the
Deleware, drank champaigne, ate boned
turkeys and ice cream, and returned in
time for a grand ball at the Chinese Mu
seum.
On Saturday they visited Girard College,
the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, and the Mint,
whence they were taken to the Penitentiary
and House of Refuge.
In night they had session at the Con
solvation Banquet. What they have been
doing since, Las npt been made public

Twice during the past week the stage coacb

sun and winds of the last few days have
been doing wonders in the way of drying
them up. We bear some people speak of
it as lazy weather ; when the industrious
manner in which has been clearing away
the mud, bringing out the grass and snow
drops and importing robins, blue and black
birds to greet morn with melody, besides
drying up our ideas and taking all inclina
tion to labor out of ourself, and a number
of our friends, certainly entitles the early
pring days to a very different appellation.

LETTER. I ROM TIIE EDITOR,
DATED
I
U. S lintel,
Philadelphia, March 14, 1851.
The hotels nf tho city were more than
usually cio wiled the past week with stran
gers und visitois. The celebrations in com
memoiation of the consolidation of the dis
tricts into one gienl city, brought a great
many lo witness and to participate in the
ceremonies. Philadelphia is now the largest
city in the Union, though New York may
excel her something in population.
She is now makit-g powerful efforts with
hei po wo; fill rival, lo grapple for the great
trade of the West and the lakes. The Penn-
sylvania Rail Road has already in a measure,
accomplished Ihe fiist, and the Sunbury aud
Eiio road will not fail lo secure the other.
On Friday last the celebrations were com
menced, by nu excursion in a steamer around
Ihe city. The Governor, Heads of Depart
ment, and niembura of tho legislature were
nearly all here by invitation. In the evening
the Grand Ball earno oil at the Chinese
Museum. The number of persons present
has been variously estimated at from 3,000
to 4000. It was certainly a magnificent
airair. The company began to arrive about
9 o'clock, und llio upper saloon wus soon
crowded- The. galleiics wero also thronged
with promemiilors und lonkeis on. About
thirty cotillions were on the floor, Hint to
those who are loud of dancing and go d mu.
sic, the scenu was at onco exhiliratiug aud
interesting.
The saloon was tastefully and handsomely
lecoraled, the decorations alone costing
Hbout twelve hundred dollars. Festoons of
aurel. interspersed wilh camelias, hung bo
tween llio pillars and around the gnllei ies.
The stars and stripes, gracefully hung in
various styles, and in every part of the hall,
furnished the mnt appropriate and beautiful
pory. The spaces between the alcoves
under the g;tlierie were occupied oy large
mirrors in elegant gilt fiarnes. The gas
lights between the columns in tho galleries,
which ordinarily consist of but a single burn
er, were this evening changed to represent
stars, composed of numerous rmall jets of
flame.
About 1'2 o'clock the signal was given for
... i. .i i
supper, which was prepared in tue lower
saloon. A crowd had already gathered
around Ihe doois, and there appeared to be a
perfect jam. At ibis juncture one of the
managers came forward, aud stated that la
dies should bo first admitted, and gentlemen
without ladies must wait. This was lather
a damper for ibu uiifurlunato bachelors, aud
husbands whose better halves were absent,
but as I never had any partiality for a sec
ond tab'e edition of a feast, I kept in close
contact wiih a bevy of young girls, and took
by the hand a young mUs who was in great
d ngor of being crushed by the jam. We
wore all shuved in together, though not 1 am
afraid, without starling the stitching and un.
derpintiing of a number of diesses, kc.
Four or five tables extended Ihe whole length
of the loom. There was no room for chans,
and each or.e began to cut, slash and uncork
for himself. While one was dipping up
oysters, another was helping himself out of
the same dish with a fork. A third, perhaps,
was cutting dnwu a candy ornament, scat
tering the fragments among the oysters, ice
creams and jellies. Setting down your turn
bier of champaigne, there was no certainty
but you would pick up the lady's next to
you, and she yours, but, as one of them re-
maiked to me, it was all the same, provided
there was something in it. After attending
to. these little alfairs for about thirty minutes
I passed around the room, watching the ope
rations of this, always the most interesting
part of these ertertainments, though it may
be unsentimental to say so. We then made
an effort to get into the upper saloon by Ihe
back stairs, and there met a crowd forcing
their way down. Of course another jam was
the consequence, and some men of roiund
dimensions, wilh a corresponding vacuum lo
be filled, gave vent to their feelings in most
expressive signs at their detention aud the
pressure of the crowd.
Having reached the upper saloon in order
to get out into the ttrset, we found it almost
a bnpeles task, in consequence of the orowd
going and coining, on the stairs.

from citizens of Baltimore, praying for an
improvement in Ihe navigation of the Pataps-

Mr. Everett presented a memorial signed
by 3030 clergymen, against the Nebraska
bill.
Mr. Douglas, in the course of some few
remarks, denounced Ihe memoralists and
impugned their motives. He characterized
their charges against the Nebraska bill as a
brench of faith, nsa base falsehood, designed
for political effect.
Mr. Houston replied, defending the right
of Ihe petition. It was evident that the pe
titioners thought that there was something
radically wrong in the bill. He said that
there was nothing monstrous in the memo
rial. He had, on the floor of the Senate, de
nounced the bill as a flagrant breach of faith
towards the Indians aud towards tho Com
promise. After considerable discussion, Mr. Peltit
objected to the petition, because it was pre
sented in an ecolesiaslical form.
IIousk. Mr. Appleton presented a great
petition, 250 feet long, against the Nebraska
bill.
Mr. Boyce objected lo its reception.
The House Ihen took up and passed the

FRO.11 SALT LAKE AND TIIE r LAI. VS.
There has been some arrivals on the Upper
slissoun horn the ?alt I. nke City, bringing
hti'A's of a strange and stirring character.
The Fremont (Iowa) Journal gives a summa
ry of ihe news, as gleaned from Mr. J H
Jones and Capt. Homer, of St. Joseph, Mo.,
and Mr. B:ewer, of Council Bluff City. They
report all Ihe mountain Indians in a starving
condition, and eating their ho ses. The
Utah chief, Walker, was pieparing to give
the Mormons battle, and as he has enlisted
in his cause the Camanches and Apaches, a
bloody struggle may be expected. He has
sworn a war of extermination, sud woe betide
the Mormons who fall into his hands.
The Mormons endeavored to make a
treaty with him, but his demands were con
sidered intolerant and they would not comply
wiih them. He required that they should
build him a house as large as Gov. Young's,
on a prominence near the city, pay him a
large sum of money, and furnish him wiih
a many wives as their veritable Governor
has So Ut as the house and money are
concerned the Mormons were willing to
comply, but furnishing the wives was another
matter, and here ihe negotiations ceased.
A war party of the Sioux aud Cheyenne
was met within three sleeps of New Fort
Kearney, who had been after the Pawnees,
but had not found any, and were then on
their return home.
A. W. Babbitt, Esq., Secretary of Utah,
and Orson Hyde, were to leave Salt Lake
city in February, for the Slates. They will
be accompanied by Chief Justice Read and
Judge Adams.
The Arapphahos, Chevennes and Sionx
