FROM CALIFORNIA.
Nkw Oiu.bans, Feb. 4.
I3y an arrival at this city from Chaglrs,
we are placcd in possion of dates
from Culifomiato tlio 31st of December,
among which are the following important
items:
The Assembly met on lYtb December,
and Mr. Burnett, tho Governor elect appeared,
took the oath of olliec, and forthwith
entered upon his duties.
On the'21st the Assembly proceeded
to the election of United States Senators,
which resulted in the choice of Col. J. C.
Fremont. andW. M. Gwinn from il/ississinni.
All miningoperations have been suspended
for the present on account of
snow and rain.
A tremendous conflagration occurred
at .San Francisco on the 24th, destroying
a large portion of the city. The loss is
estimated lit a million and a half of dollars.
The vote on the constitution was
twelve thousand in favor and eight thousand
against the adoption.? Col. Telegraph.
IIoio to settle it.?That original Taylor
i 1? *vr_. \r . \ li t l *
Jaipur, mu i>i'w i oi'K neraio, gives 111s
favorite an^ successful candidate for the
Presidency some good advice in the following
paragraph:
"TIow to settle the Slavery Question.?
'This might be easily done if O^ncral
Taylor would do it, in a message of only
lialf a column, sent in any day this week,
^between twelve and throe oYlne.k in dip
afternoon, to the two houses at Washington.
Just let him say in his message
wTint Iris opinions aro on the Wilmot Proviso,
and tliat lie would veto nny territorinn
bill for New J/cxico with that proviso
iin it, and avo are satisfied the whole
territorial question now pending in Congress,
and agitating the country, would
bo settled wif.i.'n " nl friHlincf win
way or the other "
Many of his Southern friends linve been
looking for such n message, but Imvc
boon, so fur, disappointed. General Taylor
has got n tiio fo deal with?Ewing,
CoJlamer. and toward, who would put
their .veto upon any such document as
that. It is more than likely the first document
from /. Taylor upon the slavery
question, will be u second edition of the
benefits and protecii<-\p?>>^
and laws.

v\^\x\9>\,tfdRIDA INDIANS,
, 'N i \v' ,
N'xcJ'iooner Eaglo arrived at gt.
from 7'ampa, last Sunday. *Wo
-earn from one of her passengers that the
"talk" between Hilly Bowlegs and Major
3/orlis, at Chok-ko-nik-la, last Thursday,
terminated abruptly. Bowlegs-said
he himself would go to ^lrkansas if weli
paid for it, but not another would budge
an inch. That by a recent law it was
...?uvu.?Wl >V. Iliwuvum^ vw
talk about removal, and it was useless to
ay anything more about the matter.
They could neither bo coaxed, bought,
nor driven out of Florida, Bowlegs, we
are told, was in a boastful humor; talked
of what he oould do with his warriors,
sneered at the military preparations, and
finally, in response ?o the remonstrances
of J/ajor Morris, turned round, and made
that significant gesture by which vulgar
crtmohmnc r> v nrncc ennrnmn _
tempt, ylh! Billy,
"Is this the kind n turn,
Ami these the thanks you owe?"
It must be confessed that this is not a
brilliant result of a protracted negotiation,
and it may be well for Gen. 6'ass to
L bring forward another resolution to suspend
dinlomnfcic intercourse with neonle
i i y l i
Avho manifest so little respect to our government,
functionaries. Gen. Twiggs is
extending the military line on Indian river.
Everything quiet.
Tallahassee Sentinel.
Fine Old llelic.?On the occasion
of Queen Victoria'.! late visit to Glasgow,
having expressed a desire to see the cathedral
which had recentlv unduwonn the
1 process of restoration, she wns shown an !
K anoient copy of the Hiblc, lately recoverH
ed from obscurity, and which was the
B same which was chained to the d of
the public reader, whence he made known
| 1 its revelations to an eager and excited anIvl
ditory, in times when the possession of it
vR by the common people was prohibited.
k ?l Thiu onnuini r>nnv nf 1 lw? yp ri n( 11 rnc io in n
state of entire preservation. It is I,ouwl |
in oak, and tlio hoards are an inch thick, i
It is printed in the old Saxon character!*, j
and each lett<-r is of an enormous size.
The weight of tho wholo amounts to
about twenty-nine pounds. Along with
with thfi Bible was shown to the Queen
the old sand-glass which was wont to
measure the time during public worship.
A certain good deacon's hat blew off
jSBSSnnd led him a lomr chase after it through
?pr* the street. At length the tlc.i on became
exhausted in the race, iintl pulled
"gainst a post by the side of him. A gen
afcfcrtjpmap cane along, to whom the deacon
jflEpfcd dressed himself?"My friend, I am a
dencon of the church, and it is very
^ I4 Wrongfor me to swear; yoti will therefore
greatly oblige me if you will iufctdumni

benefits of advertising. II was our wont
in early life to read (lie newspapers
through, advertisements and all, until we
became as familiar with tliem as with our
alphabet. The Enquire! was our family
paper, which made us aenuainted with
the leading firms of Richmond the differ- j
cut Kind 01 merchandise oflorod 1 c>v side. '
The second visit we made to Richmond
was as the juvenile companion of a weal
thy old gentleman of the neighborhood in
which we resided, who paid our expenses
for the pleasure of our company. Well
do we remember in pacing the brick row,
(as it was called in former times) and rea- '
cling the signs, household words were
not so familiar as the names of the loading
merchants of Richmond. 7 he old
gentleman (our companion) wanted an
article not in common use?was ignorant
where it could be bought, when we told
him the house, and the merchant by
wlinm it. woa nftnwwl I

which we had gathered, from an advertisement
in Iho Enquirer, lie repaired
to the establishment* bought that article,
and many others. Ton years afterwards I
we heard tho same merchant say that ! t
the same old gentleman had continued to ; 1
trade with him from that period of their
first acquaintance until that time, to an
amount never less than &/}00 per year.
Yes, $50 expended in yearly advertising
is better than an addition capital <>f ?3000.
It gives a merchant respectability, makes
him known to the public, and secures for
him a trade which lie e.nnlH nr>t ln> ntiir.i

Afrs. Parlingstoti's Comments on Edvvuiivn,?"For
my part, I can't deceive
what en nirth cddication is oomin* to.
When 1 was young, if a gal only understood
the rules of distraction, provision,
multiplying, replenishing, and the common
dominator, and knew all about the
rivers and their obituaries, the co\enants
and dormitories, the provim es and the
umpires, they had eadication enough.
Hut now they have to study boltomy,
Algier-bay, and have to demonstrate
suj)ppositions about sycophants of circus
scs, tangents and uiogonns or parallelograms,
to say nothing about the oxhides,
assheads, cowsticks, and abstruse triangles."
And the old lady was so confused
with the technical names that she was
forced to stop.
Omitting too much.?A green goodnatured,
money making, up-country Jo!

things rixed,'and struck up a bargain for
matrimony. Parties agreed to employ
a greenhorn county justice to put up the
tackling. Jla commenced tlie ceremonies
by remarking that 'it was customary
on such occasions to commence with pray
or, but he believed ho would omit that;'
on tying the knot he said, 'it was customary
to give the married couple some
advice, but he believed lie would omit
thai; it was customary to kiss the bride,
' but he believed he would omit that o!so.'
j The ceremony being ended. Jonathan
I look the Squire by the button-hole, and
' clapping his finger to his nose, said,
'Squire, it's customary to give (he magistrate
five dollars?but J believe 111
omit that.'
Homily against Spitting.?On Sunday
Rev. Mr. Bceehcr, in a sermon in the new
cliurch in Orange street, Brooklyn, inveighed
severely against the filthy practice
of spitting In churches. lie said men
ha 1 a right to snuff, and smoke, and
chew as much ns they pleased at home,
but they had no right to introduce such
profanity into the church, destroying the
camels, and showing disresnect to the
I O 1
house of God. What would they think i
ol' him if lie chewed in the pulpit and j
spat from it. They had just as little right |

Another Sign.?Thcro is not a single
Democratic paper in /Pennsylvania that
has yet called upon tho Legislature to
pass resolutions on the slavery question;
while most of those wo receive have open
ly and manfully repudiated that miserable
humbug, the Wijmot Proviso.
