The gold is inexhaustible, and for years
to come immense quantities must contin

carried on between this and all parts of the

COI. BtNTON AND CALIFORNIA.—It is
stated that Col. Renton' has sent to Cali
fornia, by the last steamship, another of
hie remarkable letters, addressed to the in
habitants of that territory. The first re
script to , the Californians was taken out
last fall, by Col. Fremont, and advised
them to set up a provisional government
without any provision as to slavery. The
document was probably published in San
Francisco, about the let of February last.
It is said he now advises the people of
California to insert a prevision in this tem
porary system, for the eternal exclusion of
ilavery from their soil, and that he advo
cates or rather commands it with all his
characteristic energy and power.
THE NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION.—On
Tuesday last the Locofocos of New [lamp
shire succeeded, as usual, in electing
their candidates for Governor and oth
er State officers, as well as a majority of
the Members of the State Legislature.
Neither is there and• change in the po
litical complexion of the Congressional
Delegation, as it stood in the Congress
which has just closed its seitsion. The
names of the Members elected to the new
Congyesa are: JANE.* WiLsoN. Whig ;

I R NE W Poet: Marren an:sormAs....—
The editor of New York eourie(and
Enquirer relates the fiillo‘irig kneedine of
Mr. Collamer, Of Vermont, our new Pu,st
• Master General :
"lie is, to an client rare even in this
country of Wonderful opportunities and fa
cilities for success, the artificer of his own
fortunes, having raised himself, by the
most strenuous efforts, from poverty to his
present place. To illustrate his exertions
and his merits in this regard. we may,
without impropriety, repeat here a remark
we heard him make, at a dinner of the
Jima .fluor—the University of Vermont
—over a year ago. Speaking of ono of
the early Presidents of that Institution,
who was in office while he was in college,
Mr. CoHamer said he never heard hint ut
ter what seemed to him a harsh ruproof.
but once ; and that was when lie directed
him never again to appear in the recitation
room without shoes. The harshness of
the remark, he said, sprung from the fact
that ho had no shoes. lie procured sonflt.,
however, and for the sake of cronomy,
carried them in his hand to the door ofdtc
recitation room, and then put them on."
Such an anecdote as this is better than
a patent of nobility, and we rather guess
that Mr. CoHeiner will make an efficient
head of the Post Office Department. Mr.
Collamer, it need hardly be stated, is a
friend of the cheap postage system.
Grsi. 'T'AI'LOR ON I)eELLINO.—The
Washington correspondent of the New
York Express says :
"One of the good stories of the day, and
one moat creditable to the President and
administration, is connected with the ap
plication for the restoration of two mid
shipmen, dismissed by Mr. Polk, for being
engaged in a duel. The Secretary of the
Navy, in Cabinet meeting this morning.
informed the President that lw had read
the petition, and considered that the mid
shipmenshould not be restored. So thought
the Cabinet. "I am very glad of it." s a id
the President, "for if the whole Cabinet
had thought otherwise, I would not have
consented to re-appoint these gentlemen.-*
I hate duels, I hate fighting, I hate ware,
and will have no duelling men about me,
if I can help it."
FLASH IN THE PAA.—The Southern
Slavery agitators do not always find, a
mong the people, the desired response to
Mr. Calhoun's address. At Macon, Ga.;
a meeting held on the 3d inst. to echo back.
the thunder, after long and strong prepar
ation, was attended by twenty-six men and
boys. It was adjourned to the neat 'Thurs
day night, when the circulation of a report
that some distinguished speakers would be•

hundred and fifty, all counted. As no
such speeches were made, the assemblage

INIMBRECTION IN CANADA .— The revo
lutionary demonstrations in Canada are
beginning to engage the attentielt of our
goternment. It is stated by aWashing
. , • .
ton correspondent of the New York Her
ald•.
l that in the event of .
an outbreak or re
volution in Canada, it is the jutentinn of
our government to prevent interference on
the part of our citizens, and that General
Wool will probably be sent to the north
ern frontier, for the purpose of restraining
our citizens. Upon this the Herald says :
"But this cannot prevent the people .on
our borders from sympathising with the
Canadians in their efforts to , separate from
England. Indeed, it is very probable that
that class of our population known as free
soilers, will be the very first to break the
regulation, because it will be their desire
to separate Canada from England, so that
it may be incorporated with this country
and increase the strength of their party.—
However this may be, it is very probable
that the the action of our government will
be the very means of hastening the crisis
which appears to be approaching in Cana
dian affairs, because it will leave the peo
ple of that country to settle the matter
themselves. The probability is, from
what we have seen recently, that when the
step is decided upon, and the blow struck
for separation, the whole population of
Canada will he favorable to the measure."
ONE uF HALL'S VICTIMS FOUND.—The
man named Hall, hung at Troy, N. Y.,
last week, confessed to another murder,
that of Franklin Brown, and described the
place where he concealed the remains.—
The Troy Budget says :
"The skull and legs of the body were
bound in a ledge of rocks, covered with a
stone separate from the rest of the skele
ton. The bones of the legs were found lit
the boots. They were severed, together
with the skull, about one month after the
murder, and placed as described by Hall.
The father of the murdered boy called on
Hall on Monday last, and he gave him a
correct diagram of tlte place where the
murder was committed, and where the
body could be found. The father proceed
ed at once to Petersburg, where a large
number of the inhabitants joined with him,
and the remains of the unfortunate youth
were soon discovered.

ur We %%ere much gratified, a few daysaince,
upon being shown some specimens of portrait paint
ing, the work of our young cod esteemed friend,
Mr. DAYJD FORIIFT, of this place. Mr. F. has
taken quite a number of portraits, all of which
bear a striking resemblance to the originals; and
we do not hesitate to say, that, for accuracy and
be ru'y of style, they are superior to productions
that we have seen, of Artists who have attained to
some eminence in this department of the Fine
Arts. Mr. F. has his studio in the building ad•
joining 8. 8. Forrecr's Drug store, in Biltirnore
street—where. with characteristic modesty, be has,
for some time, been quietly pursuing his vocation,
unknown to a large portion of the community.—
Our young friend has talents which promise to
obtain for him a high rank in his profession, and
we solicit for hint, from an intelligent and liberal
public, the patronage and encouragement due to
true genius.
"THE BAKERS ARE COMING! "—We

From an excel/eat article in the Philadelphia
" Daily Nine" of Monday Nat, upon the Bill now

paragraptu, and commend duns to the careful at
tention of the seeder:
^ We are convinced that a cherihed
Sabbath-4 day consecrated to religion,
morality - inid wistlom--► day snatched
from the Whinny of the working day world,
from its selfish cares and sordid passions,
its wrongs, its meanness, is cruelty, is ne
canary, absolutely indhipenneble, 'to the
existence of well-ordenul liberty, national
prosperity and popular happiness. With
out a Sabbath--not the frollieking festival
of some parts' of the continent, though that
is better than none, but the Sabbath of our
fathers—our people cannot hope to he
free, nnitedi sinuous or happy. All reli
gious views therefore apart. (if it be pOssi
ble to cousider any. allied of human
duty or humaa Interefit withotit consider=
ing that religion in which is dinbraced all
of duty and iuterest known to the race,) it
is :a subject which demands attention and
exertion,;, tun we trust that the reflecting

The dmmoration of the Sabath is rapid
ly extending in this country. Emigra
tion from the continent 9f Europe has in
troduced, especially. in New York, and in
Mali degree in the the habits that
render the Sabbath a lunching shadow of
former self-ran institution that rather min
biters to vice than protects virtue, and that
neither gives rest to the weary laden nor
cornfOrt to the distressed, Several 'wive

With Vigilance, even'agsinst the trifling in=

.
The greatest - offeadevagainst the. Saba

early as 170 b the colonial government
passed a law.,rigidly requiring• the caster

i i
denied, that t ere is the leastneoessity for
keeping the 4 tate improvements in opera
tion on Sunday. :All the , trade that offers
can find amply time for its transportation
on the days or ordinary labor. Let us go
farther and assert, that it is in fact, impel.
itic and unprofitable to violate the Sabbath
upon our canals and railroads. It is ad.
milted that private enterprise and love .ol
gain are genvTally more acute and success
ful in their pslicy than a government can
be. Most of the railroad, coal and other
companies in this State, after a full trial,
have abandoned and prohibited all opera
tions on their improvements on the 6rat
day of the ,week. The intelligent Presi-
dent of the Delaware and 'Judson Coal
Company, Mr. Wurtz, stated, some years
since, in answer to a communication ad.
dressed to him on the subject, that it was
found that more work could be effected, in
six days of the week than in seven ; that
the work was better done ; that there was
less of waste and loss; that the apparatus
of the company waskept in better preser
vation; and that the improved morals of
those employed, their temperance and
home virtues, fostered by the influence of
the Sabbath when observed, prevented
most of the quarrels, riots end difficulties
which had before been a fruitful source of 1
annoyance and loss to the company. We
believe that, in no instance where the Sib- !
bath liaa been respected upon our public
works, has the practice limn complained

MR. BENTON AND THE MEXICAN
TREATY.—;-The Washington Correspondent of
the lishirnore flun, writing on Mond■y lost, gives
the following paragraph:
The nomination of• Mr. M'Gaughey, as
Governor of Minesota, was rejected by a
vote, it is said, of 22 to 25. Some oppo-
Sitioll is said 'also to have been mode to
one or two other nominations, which
were, in consequence, laid over. Mr.
Benton. it is unersmod, offered a reso
lution in reference to the protocol to the
Mexican treaty. looking to further investi
gations, with a' view to the settlement of
the question whether thatprotoctil is bind
ing in its effect; and, if so. whether it
was not the duty of the late Executive to
have first submitted it to the . Senate for ear
lion, upon it, or ratification, before issuing
his proclamation, announcing the exchange
of ratifications and restoration of peace
between• the two Republics. Mr. Benton
occupied the attention of the Senate until
af.er a P. M., and was, it is said, quite
severe on the cootie of the late stimuli".

I are of the most perfect deireription. - and carry the
