I do not believe jwil) ever take place. 1 a nese vaiieys, ana the banks ot the rivers, I have spoken pC are exceedingly rich, and seem, in some way or other, to have been the receptacle of nearly all; the virtue of the whole surface of the surrounding couolrv; and hence, as your readers are aware, we have from those, valleys, vegetables, &c, of a moat extraordjua ry size. ' I The tule lands, forming a part of the vallev of the San Joaquin, would, I have no doubt, if the water could be drawn off, be highly pro. ductive ; but in .their present low and boggy condition, they a;re utterly unfit for cultivation, and being almost on a level with the bed of the river, or ralhjer slough, that winds through tbem, I fear it will be impossible to drain or make them valuable. These lauds, which are extensive, are asj level as a garden, and pro. ducing no other growth than the tule, a tall, piihy species of rush, and have the appearance of a vast meadow. In the fall of the year, when the tules, which grow very thick, ind from six to eight feet in height, become dry, and fire gets among them pi a dark bight, the scene which follows is indescribably grand.i None of the oases or valleys of which 1 have vpvtfen, bear timber suitable lor fencing purpo ses ; you will therefore (perceive, that in con isequence of this drawback, the inclosure of fields, which is generally done with wire or imported pales, is quite an expensive item. As regards farming interests, and the resources! ol i true, wholesome, lasting wealth, I think Ore gon is tar jabead ot tbia fetate ; and, in my opinion, she wiil, in the course often or fifteen years supercede California, and assume, and ever after majntain, her position as the great Umpire ciate of Ihe racific. ;. ! The people of California feel a deep inter ;st j in the approaching Presidential Campaign.' They want candidates whose principles a re known to be pure! and settled. Union men supporters of the Counstitution. Ofthe sever al candidates now spoken of for the Presidency, and Vice Presidency, I know of none more cordially acceptable to the public of California, than- Millard Fillmore, of New York, jor President, and Wii. A. Graham, of North Car olina, for Vice President. These men' have proved themselves true to the country ; wise and sagacious, and have therefore merited the honor and confidence of the people.

He w&k frightened off, leaving bis shots behind, before lie succeeded in committing further depredations.

A genkle inan living irri adjoining bouse ran? in, and succeeded in arresting the progress r iemriies oeiore they b.ad made much headway. The appearance of the room presented unmistakable evidences of its aving been set on fire A Darcel of news. papers had been taken from a file which was banging in the office, thrown tofreth er in a pile on the end of the settee, tbe -a. i I - a ! moie men drawn over tbem, and tbe fire communicated. The clerk of the office baa left the room bat a few moments be lore to go up stairs, arid hearing the con- uv.UW) gut uuwu jusi as tne names bad been subdued. He stated fhe above tacts to the crowd, and remarked that ih window curtains bad been let down since bis ueparture. 1 he gentleman - who had prst arrived, then remembered that he bad run against a person apparently com ng from the room, just as be entered the front door, and that this person 4aid " I'm going to get an axe ; tbe door is locked." fNot deeming it advisable to wdit for the ?ixe, ine gentleman sprang agkinst the uoor and to bis surprise it flew open with but resistance, it only having been swung to, without being latched. A police offi cer coming up soon afterywas notified of pe facts, and immediately wentin search of the incendiary. In about half an hour, he succeeded in arresting a youth, appa rently not more than; 18 years of age, whom he took to tbe station house. That nigbt. the boy confessed to one f the of ficers, that ! he had committed te crime; but stated that be bad been insligrated to it by a man who oflered him $20 to do the deed.which he, without reflection!, immedi ately greed to. He gave a description of tbe man, stating tbat he was elegantly dressed. Upon his examination before the Recorder, he acknowledged havilngr made the confessions, and was remanded to pris on to await his trial before the District Court. j A melancholy case of homicide occur red in the city about 7 o'clock, on the eve ning of the 24th inst. The circumstances are briefly as follows: A mak named Warren C. Norris, much intoxicated, and very quarrelsome, got into a fight with a Frenchman, on Commercial street, and knocked him down several times. Police officers Treanor and James Bdgerton, l ; ilJ j . .'i. . : . L ucoiiuj; me ui&uurance, ran up ana arrest- d tbe parties, tbe latter taking hold of Morris. On the way to the station house JN orris, a man of great physical Strength, became furious, and strenuously; resisted tbe attemp i i aiong. ne s of the officers to get him used very violent language, and finally knocked officer Treanbr down, and pulled out a pistol, which be snapped at him. The officer, however, fortunate iy threw bis finger under the hammer, just as it was coming down on the cap, and by this means saved his life, j During the fray, iNorns got struck on tjhe bead with a club, and being rendered still more furious, threatened to shoot Edgerton, against whom he seemed to entertain par ticular animosity. After much trouble, the parties, surrounded by a crowd, arriv ed at tbe station, and entered the office of he Captain of Police. Edgertou advanc ed to the desk to makei bis complaint, when Norris made use of some very abu sive language towards him, and dealt him a heavy blow on the neck with bis fist. Ldgei ton immediately placed his hand in his bosom, and told Norris that if be struck him again, be would cut him." E. was then ordered by Capt.iCasserly to eave tbe office, and Was about turning o go, when Norris struck bimjanother blow in the mouth, which staggered him. Recovering from the blow, which made him exceedingly angry, Edgertori jplunged a knife into the body of Norris, who im mediately sank to tbe floor. A physician was called, and upon examination, tbe wound, which was on the left side oi tbe abdomen, was pronounced mortal. At 6 o'clock, P. M-, the next day, Norris died. On Monday, thti 26th inst., a post mortem examination was held, and the wound . 1 . . i i i found to be about an men ana a nan in width, and extending through the. bowels, severing a portion of the intestines. I be coroner held an inquest on the body, and the jury rendered a verdict iir accordance with the facts. ! Edgerton was arrested on the spot by the City Marshal, but by giving $5000 bail, was suffered to go at large, j His ex amination was commended on the 27th inst., and finished the next day j Yester day morning, Recorder; Baker I decided that be should be held to bail iti the sum of $10,000, to answer the phargef man slaughter" before the Court of Sessions. The required bail was given. J j triers of the glob e centering here, have sed the tongues, and made the citv ost like onto Blabel that we rear! nfin good book Sjonora is iAe city of the Southern Mines; although sadly negjec tedj, and destitute jof the enterprise that has characterized all the! cities in the Northern Mines, is yet bound to continue, and with slow and steady erowth. hv. and-bye compare favorably with cities of older growth in our fast country. j t . Its natural ad vantages are unsurpassed in fhe country beyond the plains; situated in the very centre of a rich mining dis trie, rich placer diggings within the town, and supplied with Water by large ravines on either side, and! with a favorable start, it must, ere long, do honor; to itself and the country. 1 ! The population at present, of the city and suburbs is hafdly less than 10,6oo, and daily increasing. Almost within our limits are rich gullch and quartz mines, notiyet explored, and from time to time, as the "buried tajents" afe brought to light, our population will increase. Wfithin the last three months, two bank ing houses have been established, and have every appearance of permanency. Messrs. Adam&Co., have lately bujlta neflt and substantial office, where they continue the banking and express busi ness, with their usual correctness land promptitude. I ! Around us aje the mining villages of Columbia, Jamestown.Georgetown, Camp Saco, Shaw's Fiat' and Tuttletown, and from each of them: our merchants are! in debted for a portion of their customers. A Iprge canal, 4 feet by 4 feet, of boards, is nearly completed, and when finished, will bring water from the Stanislaus riv er to all the towns and villages about us. and enable miners to wash the rich (dirt that has been thrown from tbe bed rock within the last year, and often chanced ownership, as tbe want of water discoura- ged the original proprietors. J Ut course, witb our pretensions to a city, wei have a Mayor and his suite, with tax es, licenses and other expensive "fixins" to match ; large amounts of money have been collected, but! no show made in tbe shape of improvements. Their policy is probably Democratic, and we are promis ed -that the evils we labor under, from excess of government, will cure them selves." j ! ' The City Government, with long ordi nances, prohibit : bull fights, but as bull and bear fights, didl not come under that head, our citizens ? were favored, a few Sunday's ago, with such a fight. After that exhibition, bull and bear tights were prohibited by Our city fathers. Some Yankee bit upon an idea to circumvent the city fathers and their wisdom ; and last Sunday, gave bur citizens truly legal amusement, in the shape of a fight be: tween two bears.. About 1500 of our citi zens showed their appreciation of the en- erpnse, by their; presence within the magic ring. Sunday is our, .gala day- he city is alive with the hardfisted yeo manry. Ul a week day we are quiet and still as mining villages usually are, and when the monotony of life is disturbed by a dpg fight or quarrel between two ambi- lous roosters, all tbe people are on the 'qui vive,'' and the number of lazy men about town easily counted.

To those who, like ourselves, firmly believe that the peace and prosperity of the country de pend ion keeping the Locofoco party out of power, the following confession of Mr. Buchanan, endorsed by the Washington Union, is in the highest degree cheering : I From lheYashington Union. THE PRESEfflj POSTURE OF THE j DEMOCRATIC PARTY. T;he democratic party never was in greater peril than at present." I Mr.'-Buchanan' Baltimore Letter. This declaration was made by Mr. Buchanan after having visited Washing ton city, and -tberfjfore with a full know ledge of the elements of discord and dis sension which have paralyzed the demo cratic party at the Capitol. It is deeply to be lamented that, with overwhelming majorities in botfi houses, and within three months ofthe opening of thfe presidential canvass, one of. the most distinguished members of our party, and one of the most promient candidates for the presidential nomination, shonlrj be forced by the neces sities of the casie to make such an avowal. But it is still more to be lamented that the truth of the declaration cannot be gain said, and hence we have no fault to find with its avowal It were better to look dangers full in "hd face, and to view tbem in all their length land breadth at the very threshold, rathelr than to close our eyes upon tbem until tbey become irremedia ble. After having carefully and painful ly surveyed the ! ivbob- ground, we are constrained to declare to the democracy throughout the jlftjion that, in our opinion, "the democratic party never was in greater peril than at present" and we are grati fied that the Warning which the declara tion inrIies cornel from one whoso voice is so deservedljl potent in our ranks. Mr. fealhoun iaid that the party was only held togehei( by the cohesive pdvir. : r r 7 -:--- . L ed by discpr agd dissension, because it has not lately Thad tbat cohesive power T Such is the legitimate inference. Wetrust it will be long before any reunion takes place ; before a new swarm of plunder ers, like those who flourished with Van Ruren, are permitted again to thrust their arms into the public crib; or a new spir it of conquest, like that which prevailed under Polk, shall lead to new wars of ag. gression and conquest. VVhy should any man who really de sires the welfare of the country, wish a change from the wise and prudent; and upright chief magistrate we now have, who has brought us safely and peaceful ly through the great trials of the past three years, to one who would have giv en way to the clamors of his party in fa vor of the Cuban invasion and tbe Mexi can invasion, in favor ofthe Kossuth Eu ropean intervention, and who could not have done better, if as well, in quieting our t)wn domestic feuds? We have no sort of doubt, that if a Locofoco President had been in office instead of a Whig, the country would now have been at war with Spain, if not with Mexico; and, if that bad not been enough, with a promis ing prospect of a difficulty with Austria also. From al! these evils. from loss of life and treasure, corruption of the public morals, creation of public debt, and tbe thousand ills that follow in tbe train of war,' we have been saved by having a wise and patriotic Whig administration. Let us perpetuate peace and prosperity by continuing that administration. It is in the power of the Whigs to do it. Tbe con fession of Mr. Buchanan arid the Union makes that apparent. And everyi Whiff should exert himself to the utmost i to ac complish so great a good. Fay. Ob. From the FayettevUle Observer 1 Scene in the New York Legislature. Times have sadly changed wiihirwa few years in all our Legislative bodies! State and National. Within our memorv such a thing as a fight, or an ungentlemanly altercation, with tbe familiar use ot the epithets liar, scoundrel, and the like, was unheard of and untbought of. Can it be, that in those times jonly gentlemen, were deemed fit to represent the people, and that bow so many blackguards are quali fied for the same office that they keep eacn oiner in countenance, and give tone to the manners of the bodies to which they are elected 1 I ! It seems to be "Liker master like man." However this may be, the fact is, that scarcely a Legislature meets without some disgraceful row. The latest one we have noticed was in the New York House of Assembly, and the particulars are as fol lows. In a contested election case, a Mr. Snow, Whig, was declared entitled to his seat. This was regarded as a final action on the matter, and several ; Whig members left the city for a few 'djays. The Locofocos, 'ascertaining that, they were in an accidental majority, offered a resolution declaring the seat of Mr. Snow vacant, and came to the House with a determination to press it through.! The Whigs would not put up with this dishori orable game, and were compelled !to re sort to parliamentary remedies to prevent it. And the entire day until a late hour in the evening was consumed in scenes of confusion, disgraceful to the Legislature, to the Slate and to those by whose agen cy they were produced. It was a prolong ed riot (says an eye witness,) and the ex ample of the House spreading to the lob bies, disorder and violence reigned there. The police had to be called in and some arrests were made. One member with two or three outside assistants, succeeded in reaching the basement and cutting ofl the gas, so as to throw the House in dark ness. Caught in the act, he pleaded tbe privilege of membership to protect htm from arrest. Comparative order was res tored only by tbe closing of the doors and call ofthe House, and the affair ended in a decision which excludes both contes tants and in conduct tbat would seem to justify tbe exclusion of half the other mem bers." ;, But this is not the worst of it. The Al bany Evening Journal says, 1 It was known before the opening of the session in the morning, that a number of Whig members were absent. Several of tbem bad, as they supposed," taken the precaution to "pair off," and bad left the city, ignorant of what is alleged as a fact, tbat t wo of the Locofoco members of the House bad deemed it consistent with their own sense of honor to each "pair ofT with twe or three Whigs! Taking advantage of tbe absence of these members, the con certed movement for the expulsion of Col. Snow, who bad the day previously, been legally established in his seat, was begun. Six Locofoco members, who had paired off with absent Whigs, were present and vot ed !
