The workmen employed on the Centra Railroad have been for some time con. ducting themselves in a most shameful manner, and have been guilty cf the most outrageous violations of the laws of the State. The "Far Downs" and "Lcinster Men" are continually at war with each other, and this fued 'is carried to such an extent among the workmen that they have been for several months constantly seeking opportunities to take each others lives, destroying their shantces, &e. We are of the opinion that the strong arm of the law should be employed in order to restore tranquility along the lines, for this state of things has been permitted to exist too long already. Last week the two factions had a regular pitched battle of which the following are the particulars.

James Buchanan, .f At the great Union-Meeting in Phila delnhia last week, a letter was read from I - lhU genteinaf which we think one of th brst that we have ever seen published.-. It reviews, in a masterly manner, the whole history of the difficulty which now threa ens the permanency of our glorious Union The - following are -Its concluding para graphs: t t r . v The Union cannot long endure,! if it b bound together only by paper bonds... It can be firmly, cemented alone by the affec tions of the people of the different Stales for each other. Would -to Heaven that the the spirit of mutual forbearance and brotherly Iover which presided at its birth, could once more be restored to bless the laud ! '- Upon opening "a volume, a few days since, my eyes caught a resolution of a convention of the counties of Mary land, assembled "at Annapolis, in June, 1774, in consequence of - the S passage by the British Parliament, of the Boston Port Bill, which provided for "opening a sub scription "in the several comities of the province, for an immediate collection for thc relief of - the distressed inhabitants of Boston, now 'cruelly deprived of the nicans of procuring subsistence for themselves and families, by the operation of the said act for blocking up their harbor." Would that the spirit of-traternal affection which dictated this noble resolution, and which actuated all the "conduct of our revolution ary fathers, might return to bless and to re-animate the bosoms of their descend ants? This would render our Union ndissoluble. It would be the living soul r.fusing itself inio the Constitution, and inspiring it with irresislable energy. I am not one of those who can ever con sent to calculate the value of.the Union. Its les sings and its benefits are inestimable. God forbid that fanaticism should ever pply a torch to this the grandest and most glorious temple which has ever been rected to political freedom on the face ot he earth. Whilst the friends of human iberty throughout the world wrou!d.de plore the irreparable loss of our example to the nations, this catastrophe would .he the source of evil to alt the States North, South, East and West from the enu meration of whici the mind recoils with horror. Would any or all of the injuries which he South have suffered, or which they uppose they have suffered from the gitation at the North, and from the com- piomise, justify a resort to the last 'dread extremity of dissolving the Union? I believe not and after the sober second thought, the patriotic people of the South vil(, I have no doubt by a large majority, arrive at the same conclusion. For such causes, they will never forfeit all the in numerable olesings of the Union; and sub- ect the country and the lovers of rational reedom throughout the wortd. to the most astounding political calamity which has ever befallen the human race. It is not every wrong nay, it is not every grievous wrong which can justify, or even palliate, such a fearful alternative. n this age, and in this country, there is an incessant flux and reflux of public opinion. Subjects which but a few years ago excited the p-ublic mind to madness, have passed away and are almost forgot ten. Io employ the eloquent language of .Mr. Burke, they are "volcanoes burnt out and on the , lava and ashes and squalid scorite of old eruptions, grow the peaceful o.ive, the cheering vine, and the sustaining corn. The Session of Congress. On Monday next," Dec. 2d, thc Thirt first Congress of the United Stales will re-assemble. It has high, solemn and essential duties t to perform duties more important than any which have devolved upon any Congress since the first duties upon thc honest, self-sacrificing discharge of which depends, perhaps, the future of our country. I he eyes of the people, uot only of our own nation and the Amer ican continent, but of the civilized old world, will be directed upon this Congress and its members:" Upon every Senator and Representative a weighty and mo mentous responsibility rests. If any one of them shall advocate a departure from the rules ot the plainly expressed Consti tution and the Laws; if any one shall give up to passion, prejudice, pride, or person al political, ambition and trickery, what, by thc genius of'nur institutions, was in tended lor Hi c beneht ot our common country, and an example to mankind; any one shall refuse to lift up Ins hand and voice against lanaticism;-it anyone shall forget his character as an individua member of a great republican and self- governing government, and persist in smal and local ideas, so as to endanger the union of the mass, and thus, at the crisis of the greatest experiment for the sake o human happiness which the history of the world - has ever exhibited, ' attempt to thwart its success; .if any. member of this Congress, shall do these things, or inv o them, or anything having such a tendency be he whom he may; to whatever party whether Democrat, Whig, Free Soil, or any party in which he may class himself; whatever may have been, or is his repu tation, personally, socially, or politically he . will leave : the thirty-urst Congress with the mark of treason to his country on his brow, as indellible as the mark of Caix of old, and in after life, he will fee the tortures which the conscience inflicts upon "the 'traitor doomed," despised by the people 'and destined to siud into the obscurity" of contempt, or to raise to the unenviable prominence ot indignation and scorching ridicule. Assured as we are that in" this respect, we represent the voices, the hopes and the wishes of goo old Pennsylvania from her local" and po litical position, aptly styled the Keystone of the ' National Arch the mother States thc model 'of future' republics- desirous under the influence of reason justice, safety, and the common good, to prove herself the. barrier,-to roll back the waves of fanaticism, whether they " ap proach from the North or the South, and to be the umpire between"' the zealots o her. contending .neighbors let us invok every member of Congress to resume his post in a spirit oi moueranon ana iraiern ity. Let us invoke him to read and reflect upon', the compromises which from the very foundation of our government, and without a rigid adherence to which, in th letter and spirit, the great human experi meht must fall to pieces like a rope of sand.

New York, Nov. 22, 1U-A. M. The steamer Niagara, from Liverpool le 9th inst., with advices from London to the 8th, and from Paris to the 7th, rrived at her pier shortly after 10 this morning. . ENGLAND. The late Papal Bull, appointing a Ro man Catholic Hierarchy in England, lias produced great agitation and excitement Meetings of the Clergy are being held tmultaneously m every diocese, and everywhere the sentiment of indignation is expressed. , . ' FRANCE. By an order the army is bound to ab tain from every demonstration, and to utter no cries when under arms. Chan gamier, the General-in-chief, reminds the troops placed under his command of these orders. - The party of Order has obtained a com plete victory at Redort, near Carcasone, where the authorities have been obliged to dismiss the Mayor and his Deputy, and to dissolve the Municipal Council. A new. election took place, and all the So cialist candidates were defeated. The Moniteur publishes a decree of the 'resident of the Republic, making 17 new appointments, and discharging the National Guard of Salaves and V alien. Owing to the energy and courage of the refect, the disarming took place without any attempted resistance, notwithstanding some threats to that effect. The Cholera is disappearing in Algiers almost as rapidly as it is returning to fans. La Patrie announces that the message of the President of France to the Ministry n Council contains no allusion to the pro ongatiou of the Presidential term. Car dinal Wiseman is at present at Leiges, where he will remain some days. SPAIN. Letters from Madrid to the 31st, an nounce the opening of the Cortez by the Queen. She was accompanied by the King, consoit. In a speech from the throne, her Majesty began by alluding to the hopes she had entertained of present ing herself with a Prince or Princess on the occasion, but expressed her resignation to the will of Providence. She expressed her satisfaction at being able to announce the happy re-establishment of her diplo matic relations with Great Britain, and that her friendly relations continue with other powers. It was reported that ihe Portuguese Government had invited Spain to interpose her good offices in adjusting its difficulties with Great JJritain, and that several con ferences on that subject had already taken place between the Duke of Valencia and Lord Houdon. A 1, letter from Seville announces that Princess Clementine was shortly expected in the city on a visit to the Duke and Duchess Montpenseer. It is said that the King of Naples is at tacked with dropsy. Lola Montes is said to have become devout, and has gone to Madrid with a view to enter a Nunnery. The Spanish expedition to Rome had beem eminently successful. In the inte rior of Spain, public order was maintained, and ipast depressions forgotten. Tran quility, was for a moment disturbed in Cuba by foreign pirates, who fled before the Loyalist people; and the bravery of the troops sustained their reputation for discipline. 1 he Navy was increasing in importance. 1 he public revenues con tinued to increase, and a plan for the defi nite settlement of the public debt, would be presented; also, that for the Bank Fue ros. In a word, the state of the country, relatively, her majesty pronounced, to be favorable and prosperous. GERMANY. On the 18th ult. the Bavarian troops entered Hesse Cassel. The dissolution of the Hessian army, partly by the resigna tion of many, officers, and partly by the act of the Elector, had left the country entirely without military protection, while a refusal of. supplies by the Chambers, had stopped the machinery of civil gov eminent. - - The Proclamations of . the Electo and of thc Diet at Frankfort, were torn down by the people, but there has been no other demonstration made According to advises from Cassel, of the 2d inst., the 18th regiment of Prussian troops was accompanied by the Squadron The Hussars and Battery artillery entered the town in the morning of the day after a forced night's march. These troops were sent off by Gen. Grochen from Warburs, as soon as he read the intefli gence of the entry of the Bavarians and Austnans on opposite sides. Ihe military posts in Cassel were occupied by the Burgher Guard. L The reception of the Prussian troops by the inhabitants was quiet but friendly. DENMARK AND THE DOCHIES.' No further hostile movements have ta ken place in either army. The Danish forces, it is reported, have received a considerable increasesome say to the amount of 42,000 men. The typhus fever, however, disables a largo portion of these. r roni 500 to 600 nieces are said tojto have been placed in position on the Danish defences. A rumor was in circu lation on 'change, that the Prussian garri-; son, at Hamburg, had received orders to hold itself in readiness to march at a mo ment's notice the Duchy of Holstein being designated as their destination. It is added that a corps of 20,000 men are to enter that Duchy, if the Stadtholderate do not speedily arrange terms for the withdrawal of their troops. What degree of credibility is attached to these rumors, does not appear; they are said to be the result of the resignation of Von Badowitz. AUSTRIA. From Vienna, we learn by accounts from the 2d inst., that Gen. Radetsky and other miliary chiefs have been summoned to attend the grand council of War at the capital. . . The Austrian army against Prussia is to be increased till it amounts to 150,000 men, and among them 130 squadrons of horse, of 140 each. This may appear extraordinary, as certain conciliatory pro posals have of late been sent on by the Prussian Court, but it is stated that these, probably, cannot be accepted by Prince Schwarzenburgrf- since Prussia insists on the Hessian question to protect the Elec torate against the intervention of the Fed eral Diet. TURKEY. The "Capitan Pasha," a Turkish ship of the line, was blown up at Constantino ple, and one thousand persons killed. Ten Days ff.aler FROM CALIIOKMA. The reception in Sai Francisco of the news of the admission of California into the Union First effects of the news. We have never seen so general and joyous an excitement, or anything compa rable with it, as that which has resulted in this city from the news received here yesterday. It had been half anticipated, yet so many disappointments and delays had been our fate, that everything has been perfectly quiet up to the time when the first gun from the Oregon, gave no tice of her approach. Then the excite ment commenced and increased, and up to the present writing has uot diminished. It at once took down everybody. The beautiful steamer came gallantly into the harbor, gracefully decorated, and telling the importance of the news she brought by continued cannonading. At once the American flag went up from every possible place in the city. One gallant fellow; worked his way up the slippery flag staff on the square, and rove the pennant halyards, amid the cheers of the crowd. 1 he the stars and stripes went floating aloft, and every hat swung around, and every voice was brought into requisition, to welcome the first public flag ever raised there in honor of the thirty first State in the Union. Three times three," were given in token of pride and pleasure; as many more for Harry Clay, for having "assisted in putting in there;" the same for Mr Benton, for the same reasons, and many cheers for others. Then the people contributed between two and three hundred dollars for the benefit of the fine fellow who "shinned" up the flag stall. . Ctoon two splendid pieces of ord nance were on the ground beneath the flag anu a granu salute ot we do not know how many guns fired in honor of the great occasion. These cannon were from the the revenue cutter, and, under the di rection of Captain Frazer, were skilfully managed. - Universal joy seems to prevail among all classes. I he young renubheans are glorious, and so are the old. Several thousand dollars were subscribed within two hours for a grand ball, in honor of the occasion. The El Dorado and other buil dings were illuminated, and crackers and fire arms, and happy voices, all told un- mistakeably of the love of the Union which is one of the strongest feelings in the hearts ot our citicens. . We only wish that those who have so long prevented this act of justice to the wishes of California, could have witnessed the scene. Where are all the speculations ot those who have said that the people wished a territorial government? Vanished like the smoke of the crackers which the boys have burnt on the occasion, and with just as much regret. We nre in the Union, thank God! We are in the United States of America once more, and .our hearts are too full of joy and rejoicing to say much just yet. Ihe Union God bless and prosper it! is not a rope of sand. The justice of the country, though it may be delayed, is sure at last, we are admitted. And we will show the " noble men who have struggled so long for us, that we are not unworthy of their toils and anxieties. We will show those who. have opposed our rights, that they were wrong by- what we. will prove to the, world that our State shall yet be. We are gratified in announcing an in stance of good feeling that occurred in our harbor yesterday. On the arrival of the steamer Oregon, from Panama, with the intelligence of tne admission of California into the Union, the first guns fired on the occasion were from the British bark Novelty, of Liverpool, Capt. Harrison. Mayor's Message. Mayor's Office, San Francisco Oct 18, 1S50. To the Honorable the Aldermen and As sistant Aldermen of the City of San rrancisco. . Gentlemen: It is appropriate to com municatc to you in an official manner, the highly interesting and important intelli gence this day received, of the finaf action of the Congress of the United States by which California has been received into oar great confederacy of free and indepen dent fstatcs. This act of justice to our rights of the ' greatest promise to our future prosperity approved by the President on the 9th "of September last.,. It is with unmingled sat isfaction that we can congratulate each other on an event that must now and here after, forever be regarded as equally aus. picious to our State, and the sovereignties with which we are now, I trust indissoluble united.. .;. We have now a full and unequivocal ratification, by the highest power on earth of the organization, arts and measuiesof the government, which the citizens of CJ. ifornia have found it necessary to form fa themselves. But together with the priril eges and immunities conferred upon usby the will of thirty States, represented ia Congress, there are devolved also respon sibilities of the most serious and weighty character. We are not only to maintain in our own community as a State, the great American principles of self-government, which we have been the medium of transmitting to these "western shores of the continent, but we are to spread their light and influence to the right hand and to the left, and onward across the Pacific, which is already made animate with our busy commerce to the Islands of the South and the shores of Asia. . In the appreciation of the advantage and in the discharge . of the obligations which our present relations to our common country confer and impose, the citizens of San Francisco who now, and who may hereafter occupy this great commercial emporium, will do full honor to them, selves and meet just expectations of all whose eyes will be turned upon their po litical, civil and social career. The unbounded enthusiasm with which the news of our admission as a State into the Union, was received by our citizens, demonstrates alike the vast importance they attach to the event, and the patriotism with which they are animated. Never did the bright sunshine of heaven fall upon a people with lighter, prouder, or more joyful hearts. The loud huzzas of the citizens, the heavy booming of can non, and the "stars and stripes," our na tion's pride, floating from a thousand masU and staffs, told that there had transpired an event sufficiently glorious to arouse the warmest glow of patriotism, and to inspire happiness throughout our entire communi ty. 1 his indeed has been a glorious day for California a proud day for the friends of their country, and for the supporters of law and order. - In view of this important event, I would recommend that you adopt suitable meas ures to enable our citizens to unite at an early day, in a proper expression of their sentiments and feelings by a public dem onstration. JOHN W. GEARY, Mavor. California Hems. A San Francisco correspondent of the New York Tribune, sends the following items: The town is quite full, and is filling up fast. Business men begin to talk of Cali fornia as a resting place, and are providing themselves with handsome residences, and installing goddesses over the households. Lucky fellows! Ed. Trib. But I am sorry to say that women of another diss are increasing quite as fast, if not faster. They, occupy the finest houses in town, wear the richest dresses, drink "the best wines, and gam the most eagles of any class in town. The bankers are as polite to them as they would be to a rich widow who was at loss with whom, she should trust her money." ' But this state of things cannot last long.' As ;the community grows older, gamblers will skulk into al leys and back chambers, and fdles de joie will chain their doors to keep out the po lice. -I see it mentioned in a French pa per that a shipping agent in France has gathered together 700 women for the Cal ifornia shambles and the Eitor remarks that as they are all young, "there is some reason to believe they will become wor thy members of society." I hope they will but California is rather a poor school for Moral Reform. The number of passengers arriving at present is smaller than the number turning their -beads homeward. But when take into consideration that 50,000 have come over the plains this summer, and half as many across the Isthmus and from the Mexican an Sou th" American Statei, you will perceive that we have a large margin for homesick ones. ' - Battle with Indians. -A "party of whites, under Captain Btt of the brig Orbit, now lying at our levee, and an old California adventurer, Mr. Vai Duzen, had a severe engagement with party of Indians at the mouth of Salmon river, on the Kiamath, about the middle of'August. The Indians, it apears, had taken nine white man whom they were holding as quasi prisoners, hanng rowJ them of their clothes, provisions, horses. Sec, some time before this par:y olwhM arrived at Salmon river. Best and mi company, of course, demanded the instant restorationof the goods to the roooeu par ty, but the demand was not complied with. The whites collected their torce. and measures were concerted for a gen eral fight. All told, some fifty wnw men appeared, with some three hundred Indians arrayed against them. The fig" was kept up for some hours, the Sal mo0 river dividing the combatants.
