INTERESTING FJIOM CALIFORNIA* T* l_T t?
THE SILVER MIXES.
I A*AS ESS XMBASST.
By the pony express which arrived at St.
Joseph, on the 14th, we have California dates
to April 4. The U. S. steamer 1'owhattan,
Capt. Pearson, bearing the flag of Com. Tat
nail, arrived at San Francisco, on the 27th
of March, from Japan, bringing the Japanese
embassy to Washington, composed of the
highest rank of nobility in the Empire. It
consists of twenty officers and nobles, and
fifty ••riant*. The embassy was received
with a salute of twenty one guns. The
1'owhattan bad (zone to the navy yard for
repairs, after which she would proceed to the
Isthmus with the embassy. They would
then cross by rail to A spinwall, where th*
U. 8. frigate Unvioke will take them on
hoard, for Washington.
By the rViwhattan, advices from Japan to
the 15th of February are received. The gov
*rnment ofJapan had commenced stamping
Mexican dollars, making them legal curren
cy in that country. This obviates one of the
principal difficulties in prosecuting trade with
foreigners. Already the Sun Francisco mer
chants are ma. frig preparations for a direct
trade with Japan. A prominent merchant
is soon »o leave for the Atlantic coast, to he
go'iale for a line of steam propellors, to be
placed iu the San Francises and Japan trade.
The Japanese corvette, which arrived at
San Francisco, had been put in the United
States dry dock, at the navy yard, and put
in complete order, free of chargii.
The following the mining news brought
by express
CARSON Crrr, April 4.—The excitement
in regard to the silver and gold mines in this
region is unabated—hundreds are pouring in
from all parts of California. Scarcely a com
pany, who 'tre prospecting, have (ailed in
striking rich ore where they attempted to
find it. The mineral region extends for a
hundreds miles up the Humboldt. The
Spanish claims, situa ed where the mines
were first opened, were yielding $20,(XX» per
day. Ground is changing hands at from
twenty to Giro hundred dollars per foot.
The Men lake and Walker river country
Is rich in minerals, and hundreds are pros
pecting that country, generally with good
success.
Or* is now being shipped to San Francis
coforsmelting from five different companies.
Other companies are making arrangements
to ship their ore as soon as animals can be! for.
procured. The ore sent yields from $2,000
to $5,000 per ton.
Discoveries of gold bearing quartz are be
ing made every day. Machinery of every
description ia on its way here for the purpose
of crushing, smelting, &c.
Town property, in different localities,
ranges high. Many fire-proof buildings are
under construction
The population is increasing very fast, and
it is thought that in two months the popu

There are no laws for the collection of debts,
or punishing criminals. Mmders and fights
are ol daily occurrence.
freights from California are very high—
25 to 35 cents per pound. Flour is now
selling at $10 per 10i)lbs. Lumber is worth
$300 per 1000 feet.
At some places in the mines, other things
are selling in proportion. The weather is
stormy to-day, with a heavy fall of snow in
the mountains.
The telegraph line is now completed to
Malloy'g Station, and an office will be open
ed at that point during the present week.—
Malloy is 30 miles east of this city on the
rout* to Salt Lake, and in two weeks the
line will bt ia operation 60 miles still further
east, when the t.'me will be reduced to eight
days from St. Joseph to San Francisco for
telegraph dispatches.
SAM FRANCISCO, April 4, 6 r. M.—The
amount of gold bullion deposited in the mint
last week was 29,1)54 ounces, a silver bul

The State telegraph branch line was com.
pleted to this city last night, having been
built from Sacramento to Placerville, fifty
five miles, in ten and a half working days.
The rush to the Carson Valley is still in
creasing the hotels are crowded and crowds
are leaving every day. Many are detained for
want ot means to get over the mountains.
Horses aud mules are very scarce, and
•tan seats are engaged ahead. Freight from
twenty to forty cents per oouud to Virginia
City.
The bark Glimpse, with cargo valued at
$28,0')0 was wrecked near Victoria on thesociety
15th of March. The vessel was insured for
$16,00'), and the cargo for $1 (.
The San Juan Island was in joint occupa
tion by American and British troops.
It is estimated that 3.G0J white men and
2,iiUU Chinamen were engaged in miuing at
Fraser. Mining accounts are encouraging,
and new diggings have been discovered in
various places.
The Pacific Itnilroad Route.
The definite conclusion arrived at by the
Pacific Kailroad Committee of Congress on
the 2d of April, (already referred to) was by
the adoption of the following resolution, of
fered by Mr. Curtis, of Iowa, the Chairman
Metolved, That the road shall start from
the two points, on the western boundary ol
the State of Missouri, and the other on the
western boundary of Iowa,with two converg
ing lines, running westward and uniting
within two hundred miles of the Missouri
river and thence proceeding by a single
track line by the nearest and best route lo
the bay of San Francisco, or to the navigable
waters of the Sacramento, in the State of
California.

W. W. I S Editor.
A O E E
The Republicans have lately had another
spasui of morality another attack of that
feeling which at Philadelphia caused them
in or
twin relic of barbarism,"—polygamy.—
They are periodically subject to such at
tacks—once every four years—and they
sometimes last through an entire Presiden
tial campaign. This last attack was re
markably sudden—exceedingly acute. The
question was taken hold of as it arisen but
yesterday, and Members of Congress bus
tled around, anxious to say something, or
to do something, they didn't much care
what,) as if they had just awoke to a con
sciiuisness of the ex stence of polygamy—
and so a bill for its suppression was got up,
and hurrahed into the House by Repub
licans and slave-codists, (all anxious to
show what Congress had aright to do,) as
if the fate ol the nation depended on its
immediate passage. The Democrats go
agiinst the bill, and are charged with favor
ing polygamy. Let us argue that point.
The pretense upon wh ch the Republicans
worked themselves into this paroxysm,
was certain stories, which have been afloat
,n the public prints, in regard to outrages,
thefts, murders and treasons, plotted and
perpetrated by Mormons, who being upheld
by their Church, fear no punishment there-
Those stories, if true, represent a
state of things existing in Utah which calls
for immediate action. The Republican So
Ions assumed them to bo so, and what ac
tion did they take? Did they repeal the
organization act of Utah Territory. Did
they abolish the Government which coun
tenanced such misdeeds Oh no Utah
is still to be a territory and the Mormon
Elders at whose instigation all sorts of
crimes are committed, are still to ad/ni.iiater
the laws emigrants are still to be plun
dered and murdered, ad the United States'
authorities set at defiance and Congress
passing owr these things, is to pounce upon
H.rgamy—a virtue, compared to the awful
crimes of which Mormons are accused—
pass a bill for its suppression, and then send
the law out to Utah to be enforced by Brig
ham Young, who has sixty wives and by
the Elders who endeavoi to emulate his no
ble example. What would we think of a
Legislature that would charter, that would
allow, a'i organized gang of banditti to plun
rbiddmg
co, and—to cap the climax, to reach the
very summit of the ridiculous—leave the
execution of that prohibitory enactment en
tirely to the chiefs and members of the band.
Yet would it be any mere absurd than this
lull against polygamy, which the people of
Utah are to enforce Mormons who are al
most rebels, are to prosecute brother Mor
mons, for a practice sanctioned and taught
by the Mormon Church and the accused
are to be indicted by Morinan Grand Juries,
and tried by Mormon petit juries, selected
by Mormon Sheriffs from a Mormon com
munity. What a blessed way to "suppress
palygamy and yet because the Democrats
would not give countenance and support to
such a miserable, aimless, digraceful ant as
that—a measure more worthy of the tooth
less old women of an eleemosynary sewing
than of the combined representative
wisdom of the United States of America, in
Congress assembled—a measure which wo'd
render sn enactment of the Federal Gov
ernment a matter of contempt—they are
forsooth, polygaiuista and supporters of
polygamy.
Proceeding upon the hypothesis, that the
State of affairs in Utah is fully as bad as
represented that the Mormons are hos
tile to this Government that emigrants
and unbelieving .-ettlera are murdeied with
impunity that none except Mormons,
can obtain redress of grievances in the courts
that there is a connection existing between
their Church and State, entirely repugnant
to American principles, and which continual
ly interferes to defeat the the aims of jus
tice and thwart the operations of the law.
surely it it the duty of Congress to repeal
the act organizing that territory to divide
it up between several ether territories thus
breaking up the unity of the Mormon peo
ple, politically, and consequently the con
nection between ecclesiastical and secular
putting the government iu the
hands of good, loyal citizens, who will make
proper laws, and enforce them too—doing
away forever with the crimes and misde
meanors of the Mjrmons, polygamy among
the rest. Well, an amendment to the bill
that effect—dividing Utah between the
Pike's peak gold territory, and the Carson
valley silver territory—was offered by Mc
Clerland, (Dem.) of Illinois, and voted
down by the Republicans. They were not
prepared for practical, measures. They
wanted to make a little capital to endeavor
to place the Democrats in an unfavorable
position but when the Democrats took hold
of the matter and earnestly aet about to
remedy theevil, the Republicans were not

During the Lovejoy debate in the House,
some words passed between Potter of Wis.,
and I'ryor of Va. which although they
had nothing to do with the business of the
House, Mr. Potter had inserted in the pub
lished accounts of the debate, to show his
constituents how insolent he dared to
be. This led to a challenge fiom Mr.
I'ryor, which Potter took twelve hours
to deliberate upon, and then returned an
answer that lie would fight with Bowie
Knives. Meanwhile Mr. Pry or had, in or
der to escape arrest, retired into Virginia,
leaving his friend Mr. Chisman to arrange
the preliminaries of the duel. Mr. Chis
man, without consulting his principal de
clined Potter's proposition, on the ground
that bowie knifes were weapons unknown
to the code, and more worthy of desperadoes
than of gentlemen. Col. Landor, Potter's
second then offered to fight with pistols, in
his principal's stead this Mr. Chisman ob
jected to. as there was no quarrel between
the parties. When Pry or, in Virginia, heaid
of the action of his second, he wrote that it
was not in accordance with his wishes, and
offered to accept Mr. Potter's terms. Mr.
Chisman agreed to deliver this note, and
went to Washington for that purpose but
some of his friends there representing to
him that the note reflected on hi- acts a
second he took the responsibility to with
hold it, and so informed Mr. Pryor. Pryor
then wrote to Potter the following note
April, 14. 1860.
Sir:—I seize the earliest opportunity after
my return to this city, and an examination
of the correspondence between Mr. Lander
and Mr. Chisman, in reference to the iii
ficulty between us, to re-pond to the inti

Although your proposed terms of combat
were rejected by my friend without confer
ence with me, yet 1 have no alternative left
now but to submit to his decision. I find,
however in your rather significant and em
phatic proclamation of a purpose to defend
yourse.f against attack, some faint possibility
of a settlement of the controversy between
us. Acting on that suggeston, 1 beg to in
form you that if you will, wit in the next
three hours, name a partcular time and des
ignate some place out of the thoroughfares,
and more Irequen ed portions of the city,
with a view to escape interruption and to
avoid injury to other persons, 1 will afford
you an opportunity to redeem the vaunt
with which you parade your resources of
self-aefense. Your obed cnt serv nt.

note. R. A. P.

About the time he received this note,
Mi. Potter found it convenient to be ar

peace. And thus the matter stands.

to say that if Heenan is triumphant we in
tend to spread ourselves in an article on the
antiquity, beauty and necessity of prize fight

glorious victory but if Heenan is whipped,
we intend to come down on the Prize Ring,
like a thousand of brick denounce it as
brutal and immoral, and wind up by saying
that none but blackguards have anything to

The outside pressure is still for Douglas

Washington, during the part of last weak

for Charleston. Of course they talked and
caucused and if one desires to know the
general opinion prevalent at the Capitol du

respondence of the Tibune, Timet and //tr

tions of each paper. The met says, in its
telegraphic correspondence from Washing

Delegates are pouring in, and to here
them talk one would suppose Douglas
would have no serious opposition at Charles
ton. In fac one New Hampshire delegate
informs me that the nomination of Douglas
was positively arranged to day with the
consent of a number of Southern delegates
now here, and that the nomination at Char
leston is a mere piece of formality. Two
members of Congress from Missouri, them
selves opposed to Douglas, say that Messrs
Henderson, Lakenian, Shoitridge, Dorris

The Democratic National Convention
meets one week hence at Charleston, 8. C.,
and most ot the nunhern and many of the
western delegates have either passed thro*

ered from various sources impels the belief
that Stephen A. Douglas will receive a
majority of the whole number of votes of
the second, if not on the first Hot. That
he wil have a plur li*y on the first and
every succeeding ballot till nominated, is
deemed cei ain. The consummation may
be fought off for days if the minority is de

but Judge Dnugla*' best informed friends
regard his ultimate nomination as beyond

The correspondence says the delegation
—"will not only favor M*. Douglas, but
will demand his nomination as the only
source of salvation for the Democratic puny.
In this respect they will "lake the bull by

in language the most unequivocal possible.

THE CONDITION OF AFFAIRS IN KUROPE.
Yesterday's mail brought us details of the
news by the Persia, a synopsis of which was
given by telegraph a lew days ago. From
inspecting the fuller newspaper accounts, we
are enabled to give in the following article,
a fair viow of the condition of Europe as itsTUBUS
affairs appear to us at this distance.
Prance, with Louis Napoleon at her bead,
takes the lead in continental questions of
both domestic and foreign policy. She has
recently disturbed the equanimity of neigh
boring nations to a greatdegree. Her annex
ation of Savoy has startled England aud ex
cited the suspicion of Austria.
On the 26th ult, Lord John Russel deliv
ered an important speech in Parliament, and
took occasion to make known the views of
the British Government oh the annexation
Savoy and Nice. Judging from his lord
ship's speech, that government regards the
act as being fraught with danger to the do
minion of every sovereign iu Europe. It
seta a bad precedent, and is also in violation
of the treaties of 1815. The whole tone of
his speech is rather unfriendly toward France
and looks to a coalition of all the other pow
of Europe for the purpose of keeping
Fiance within what they may.deem pioper
limits.
It is now a prevailing idea in France that
her present territory is not bounded by
itsposed
natural limit*., on its North-eastern frontier.
It claimed th river .bine is her nat
in and it is sus
pected that her Emperor is moued with the
same idea, and only waits his opportunity to
annex" all the intervening territory, inclu
ding the whole ol Belgium, portions of Ba
varian, tlolland and toe Rhenish provinces.
The annexation of Savoy and Nice, having
extended Prance as far as she desired in the
direction «»f Italy, and given her control of
the parses of the Alps, the attention of her
rulers is directed toward the Rhine, and a
movement toward making hat river the
North eastern boundary, i.-» how confidently
looked for. An i'melltgeht correspondent of
the N Y. 2V/«e.t, writing from Paris, says
"'The army in Prance'j anil not alone the
army, but majority ol the politicians, are
in the firm:beiie£ to-day that before the ex
pi ration of (he year Napoleon wiii be on the
Rhine. s, wide spread the belief, mat all
Germany is a fermentation., and they are
now perhaps, logrolling at' this labs hoot
their joriner uniuiurence- In Franc: it is It
believed tossible to remove the frontiers to
the liliine without, a war. Thus the Koine
tor will offer to Russia a slice on the Dan
ube, to Austria the same, to Prussia Saxony,
and perhaps other provinces to Bavaria a
money indemnity, and to England Sicily— 7 •".-••d
The nationality ot the Uelgians wi 1 be ewal- vv" 1
lowed no with a little ceremony as has just
been that of the Savoyards. The Powers
will be offered this arrangement or a fi^ht,
and since the former will cost infinitely les
than the latter, is thought in France that
the proposition will be accepted, and the
proposed change of frontiers take place with
out the least spilling of blood. You will ap
preciate the sudden alarm that has gr.wr.
up within the last two or three days in Eng
land and Germany, when I tell you that
this change of frontiers is talked of by men
high in position as certain to take place."
This report is what has caused such al rni
in England, and cieated a great excitement
in Germany. This is what prompted Lord
John Russel to almost declare in ids speech
that Kngland is ready to join the other great
powers of Europe to put a stop io the work
of annexation which France has begun.
The tact is that England and the other
powers are afraid that France will go on
augmenting her retigth and increasing her
territory until she can dictate laws to the
whole ol Europe.
In conjunction with Sardinia, she has al
eady taken from Austria her faire»t Italian
possessions. She has elevated Sardinia from
being a ninth or tenth rate power to be one
ol the second rank at least. And while thus
building up a powerful ally on her border,
she has managed to gain a substantial bene
fit by the annexation just consummated.
Louis Napoleon, who is the soul and spirit
of these movements, displays extraordinary
tact in another direction, in a direction, too,
which very few men in his position would
venture to look with aught but reverential
eyes. We allude to his management of the
question of the Pope's temporalities.
The people of the Romagna rebel against
the government of Rome, set up for them
selves, and in less than a year vote them
selves annexed to Sardinia and loyal sub
jects of Victor Emanuel. In the meantime
the Pope protests,—invokes aid,—excom
municates his enemies, and even censures
ih- action of the French government. But
Louis Napoleon moves not a foot, except to
put it upon the neck of the great religious
organ of his Empire, L'Uu.ve.t." He si
te, ices that paper by suppressing it. All the
time, however, he professes the greatest
obedience to the See of Rome in spiritual
matters," though in practice he does not
heed a word the Pope says.
There are still ten thousand French troops
in the city ol Rome tor the purpose of keep
ing down rebellion, but the news be'ore us
intimates that they are about to be with
drawn. They have been stationed there
ever since 'he suppression of the Romau Re
publi in 184'J, au their presence lias been
necessary io order to maintain the present
form of government there.
The report that tloe foreign troops are

When he [Mr. Window] comes up for re

s'ood up so nobly in the facu of the purse
proud aristocrats of the South, and taught
them that the hardy pioneer of the West
had a God giving right to a home—with
out money and withuot price.
Here is what WISDOM told the "purse
proud aristocratics of the South," at the
tale end of a session, when there were not
twenty members present:
"Mr. Chairman I hold in my hand a
few remarks on the Homestead bill, which,
with the leave of the House, I deiire to

"The piirse-p-oud aristocrats" must have
felt extremely bad, when WINDOM delivered

the 17th of March, and has not been heard

result. He is supposed to have been killed
by the Indians.
JOHN KEINACHER, and old settler at Sara

employ of the Dakota Company, has just
been found murdered one mile and a-half
southwest of Dingler's Crossing (the sec

the Cottonwood river. He was shot thro*
the back, the ball coining out in the middle
of the breast. He had. furthermore, two
cuts, probably from a hatchet, across the
head. IIis goods were stolen, but his team
came back to BROWN'S, at the forks of the
Cottonwood, which led to the search. SAM
ALBKIGHT has just arrived here from Dako
ta he saw the body ol INACHER, and
ststed that two more men were missing at
the head waters of the Cottonwood. They
were trappers for a Mr. WILSON, and are
supposed to have been murdered by the
Indians. Toe last three murders are sup
to have been committed by the Yanc
