Important i? trub?Conurks.s and California.? If'c copy from the NewYork Herald of the Hit inst. the annexed intelligence?and from all the indications which have recently fallen under our observation, as well as from the tone of our own private corresnoiulence from ilmt. point, are induced to believe that there is foundation for the hope that the Califoinian speculators may yet ho caught in their own trap. A regard for justice, precedent, and common decency, requires : that California should have a territorial government, which is all to which she is J entitled?and that her preposterous Statu project should he treated as it, deserves. Whether there is firmness enough in the majority of Southern Itenrcsentatives to insist upon this, wo shall soon see. TFe hopo there may be. The Iferahl says after alluding to the light reccmly let in on the proceedings of the wire workers in the Coiifornia Convention, says:? | Telegraph. "Our Washington ni'ivnfn ("nrrnenAml O I ~ , ent telegraphed to us, last night, that the growing knowledge, ia regard to these secret manceuvers, has rendered the probability of California being admitted into tiic Union as a State, in a separat bill, or evon in connexion with a bill for pro- j viding tcrritoiitd governments for Utah and Now ^/ir>vicn. <<vlromplu . J V.-,. He thinks that Congress mill remand California bark to a territorial f/ovcrnment, and pass a law for taking a just and correct census of that territory?another ( law, to regulate the qualification of voters?another law, to regulate the qualification of voters?so that the bona fide, j American citizens only shall b? allowed 1 to vote, and be well informed of their power and rights, before speculators shall be allowed to get control of (ho territory, get it into a State, and control all its lands, j amounting in value lo one hundred, or | perhaps one thousand millions of dollars, j and hold the power to make white slaves of the gold diggeis. It is further expcc- j ted that flnnirmss will nr> ...... , ..... . UUIUUIIIII act, in reference to taking a fair vole in ..ation to negro slavery, only allowing i those to vote who arc bona Jul a citizens. I The views of our telegraphic cones- | pondent as to the decision of Congress in the premises, arc very unfavorable to the admission of California; and we fear, from that wc learn from his communications, j that she will he remanded back. Should J this be the case, we are by no moans cer- I tain that, with a fair expression of opinion J by the people of California?those who are legally entitled to vote, on the subject of Slavery or non-?5?lavery in the territory, that it would be for it. We confess that we think the speculators only have spoken through thu convention. When | the hard-working men are heard, we mav i hear a different expression of sentiments from them than we have heard from the politicians, schemers, and speculators. CONGRESS. In the Senate, on Monday, the 8th i Mr. CWiy, from the .Stelcct committee of Thirteen, to whom had been referred the compromise resolutions, made a report, j which was debated till the ad journment. The Hour.e of Representatives passed | the censuu bill by a vote of one hundred j and nine yeas, to sixty-one nays. The ; President's special message, communicating the constitution of the State of Cali- I fornia, was taken up in committor of the I whole on the state of the Union, and Messrs. Winthropand Oit delivered their views. In Senate, Thursday the Olh, after the adoption of some resolutions of inqui- j ry, the bill for the establishment of a , Board of Accounts was taken up, amen- ' An,\ n.wl ,\<v? 1 Mvuf i%uu |;(?oouu XVltL'l I 11U r'JnSIU'jrUtion of Executive business, tlic Senate adjourned till Monday. The Jackson Mississippian, of the 12th ylpril, says: "Letters have readied us from California, stating that, slave labor at the mines is worth ten dollars per day. A. slave can at least sceuro that amount of gold to his master. After the placer mines shall be exhausted, and even now, the gold in the rocks, which is the original source of all the deposites in the rivers, cannot bo profitably obtained but by slave labor. Then, again, the valleys, to be cultivated require irrigation, which is another profitable sphere for the employment of our slaves. Thus, then, in the only two pursuits now known in California, slave labor is a more profitable investment than in the United States. These slaves are yet there in possession of their masters: and tlie profits realized by their labor already so great that their masters could afford to risk their loss after one year's scrvice. This one fact speaks volumes, and proves how prodigious the loss to tho South has been by this infamous and iniquitos exclusion. In tho debates of tho so-called Convention of California, the assertion was made that the value of the labor of a slave in Y/uc U1IIIC9 wuuiu auiwuni to pCr annum?and the impossibility oi competition of free with slave labor urged as a reason for its exclusion.?

The contract was an c.vca vauon 01 some i v teet, which was being I worked by Mr. /Irlliur, of Greenville, in the usual way of digging under, and prizing off large bodies of dirt; and while these two negroes were cgnged in (he pit, the dirt overhead caved in upon the.ri, ami instantly killed them.

Scolding Children.?I \yill tell von what good it docs to scol 1 at your children for doing what you have told them not to do, just as much good as to scold an unruly ox for jumping over the fence and eating the corn contrary to orders previously given to him. Children are ffOVCrned 1)V tWO motives. I.lin linnne r>f I reward and the fear of unpleasant consequences. A stream of scolding, from sun to sun, never yet had any other effect upon children than to render them wholly regardless of what U said to them. If you wish to make your children troublesome, scold them occasionally. If you wish to make them bad, scold them n lit no louucr, and more frequently. If you wish to ruin them, and have relinquished all hopes ot' conquering them, scold continually, and you will be sure to gain your object.
