?a?a?*1 SEi&E-WEEKLY GAMDEIJ JOURNAL. EVENTS IN" CALIFORNIA. We have devoted so much space to the record of the fire, and such a mass of interesting intelligence from other sections is brought by the arrival, that we are obliged to avail ourselves of the brief summary of events in the San Francisco papers, leaving the details for another publication. The San Francisco Herald of July I, savs: ? liltin me pasi luriaignt uw uuuj ui vmzona in our city known as the vi^ilnnce committee, instituted for the prevention and punishment of crime, have largely increased in numbers and efficiency, and by their nioderation and enlightened policy, pursued with unffinchi ig vigor, they have secured the confidence of i toe community, who have come to look to them , for protection in the hour of peril. Their exci lions to lid the city of the gang of desperadoes that have so long infested it, have thus far been crowned with success.

Throughout the mines the same stern determination lias been exhibited to bring offenders to justice. Many executions have already taken place of those who have been found clearly guilty. . In every instance, the trial by jury and the time honored forms of the law have been observed, and there is no reason to suppose that a single individual has suffered unjustly. The I miens in iho Mariposa Distribl have , been pacitied. The Indian commissioners are now down in the Southern part of the State endeavoring to treat with the tribes along the Colorado and Gila. In the Northern mines Indian disturbances still exist, but not to any serious extent, and it is hoped that the efforts now used by the comlbiissioncrs will bring them to terms. Intelligence hns just reached us of a disastrous attack by the Rogue river Indians, upon the settlement at Port OiTbrd In Oregon, by which ail the whites were cut off to a man. 'Phn nn1iiie.il cauldron is boilin". The uom inatipns of both parties have been regularly made, and the various nominees are traversing the State, addressing large meetings i.i all (lie towns and settlements. Considerable spirit is manifested in the mines, and in certain portions _gr^at interest is exhibited in the result of the contest. Botii parties are confident of success, and until the votes are counted it would be impossible to hazard a conjecture as to what will hie tl>e result. All accounts from the mines concur in representing the yield this year as greater perhaps than'ever before. The rpinrtz'mines both no:'-; I"! and south are becoming every d-iv more developed.. The result thus far exhibit them as astoirisffingly rich, and abounding throughout the whole mini'ig district. New veins are being constantly discovered, and large amounts of capital have been invested in machinery to extract the rich deposits of gold from the rock.? The yield from this source is becoming an important item in our export of gold. MR. A. WHITNEY'S PROJECT.

Slavery in, 177G?While the subject of slavery is commanding the attention of the pe-v'e 1,1 every section of the Union, it may n*} be j"ivf interesting to give a few facts in connection ( | with its existence in 177G.

The history of these States warrant the conclusion that its abolition was not owing to any prejudice in the minds of the people against slavery, but because of their being unsuited for the duties that the enterprise if that region required, as developments then -howed that the production of the great staples of the United States was impossible in that climate. Louisville, Aug. C. Kentucky Election.?The returns thus far received show the election of Presley Ewing, (whig,) in the 3d district. In the 5th di?t:iet. James W.

IVoin the recent opporlu- j nities we have had of ascertaining the opinions i of the citizens of b ni n district, we can say without hesitation that we have never known ( any people so thoroughly united in opinion up- 1 on any subject as our people are upon the quos- j tion of secession. It is a little remarkable that ' upon a question of such vital importance as that.now before us there should be so little diversity of sentiment in a district so large and so populous as ours. There are a few solita ry individuals here and there who entertain Hon-1 est doubt* as to the policy of secession, but the great body of the people are almost unani- | mously in favor of it.?

All his nihilities, all his associations, have heretofore been with the free-soilers ami abolitionists. and it is but natural that he should return to his first love. .No doubt the terms of the union arc acceptable to Mr. Fillmore, and the platform presented such a one as he is pre-! ... . rt/l ir.

JAMES DUNLAP, Intendant. Secession Practically Discussed. We have devoted a considerable space in outpaper for several numbers past to these admirable articles, originally* published in that excellent paper, the Edgefield Advertiser, under the signature of " Rutledge." The whole subject is brought to view in a clear, distinct, and practical mannerThese letters have been published in various parts of the State, and must tell with considerable force upon the minds of those who read them. P'or our part there is no use for further argument?the time has passed for talking, and action is our only hope?action alone, will produce co-operation. Anniversary of Churubusco. We have he?Y] sfioWn a letter from the Town Council of Columbia to the officers of the romna ^ ! ny sent by this District to Mexico, conveying the) information that tltey " have made arrangements j for 'lie reception and entertainment of such members of the Palmetto Regiment as may visit Columbia for the pnrposo of celebratating the anniversary of the battle of Churubusco, on the 19th and 20th instant, and that committees will be at the depots of the different Railroads to receive the Palmettoes as they arrive, and conduct them to such Hotels as they may prefer, where they will he entertained as guests of the town." It is a striking evidence of the generous hospipitality of the citizens of Columbia to the noble band of warriors who reflected so much honor on the State. We hope that all 'he members of the Palmetto Regiment here and elsewhere, will find it convenient to attend the anniversary and mingle once more around the social board, with their brethren in arms.?Republic. Free Passage, We are requested to slate that the Railroad will pass the members of the Palmetto Regiment free of charge to and from their celebration at Columbia, on the- 20th instant. Hon. Jefferson Davis,' / On the 1-lih ult. a bai beetle wafr given to this gallant son of Mississippi, by the citizen-of Jefferson county.' The assemblage, says the Natchez Free Trader, was extremely large, and of the most unanimous character. Previous to partaking of the sumptuous repast, Mr. Davis addressed the vast concourse of people in a most able and patriotic speech, during the delivery of which lie received unmistakable evidence from his auditory that their sentiments coincided with his own. Tlit- speech is reported at length in the Free Trader, and nothing but the want of space prevents us from laying it before our readers.? We can only spare room for the following brief extracts. It is needless to ask a perusal of them? to secure that, it is only necessary to state that they ex[ires.- the .-cnlimt nts ct j If. Davis, the gallant Mi.-.-issippian, the hero of Poena Vista, the stern am! unflinching advocate of southern rights ami southern independence. Three cheers for Jrtferson Davis, who is the man for first President of a Southt rn Republic. The object of Mississippi should be to organ>*, fur I lit* lll!inr>?U? nf r?l".ii?.iin, ?rurtit /? ttin ? ?_ ...... . territory. They should endeavor tu meet the other Southern Mates, and confer as to the host means of repelling aggressions, and giving security to the Southern Mutes. If there was n unanimity of feeling, a proposition might be adopted requiring certain securities from the North. I>nt if the Southern States cannot and do not join Mississippi in her efforts for Southern rights, t?*? it Mississippi will have given them a fair opportunity, and for whatever future calamities may arise, Jet those take the hlanie whose lethargy caused the misfortune. Meanwhile, this State ought to stand aloof, in readiness, ami when, eventually, other States should join her, let them fall in to the right and left to arrange with them for mutual co-operation. Me would meet South Carolina, and proudly meet her. He would meet her for her glorious work in the old revolution; lie would meet her for her gallantry and patiiotism in always endeavoring to give security to public liberty, life, and property ; he would meet her for her many acts of devoted heroism for the weal of the republic; and .Mississippi should be piQnd to meet South Carolina. Mississippi drew South Carolina into the controversy, and it would be loo much to leave her sister .Slate ! to hear the diliicultics and encounter the dan- ' gers before her alone. He would meet South I Carolina, because by that means, they might j be able to save her from taking that last resort: to which she has determined to recur, although she may be abandoned bv all other States.? Isolated as she i?, it would be wrong for Mississippi to turn coldly from her, and abandon the pledges made to lend co-operative assistance, now that the last alternative, secession, is resorted to. It Mississippi met 8outh Carolina, she could advise with her, and the two States could make propositions that one of them could not, and thus Carolina might be prevented from separate State secession. They ought not, out of justice, to turn coldly from South Carolina, whose object only is to demand from the federal government those rights and privileges of which s e has been deprived, and j Ill WHICH :UIS8IS?IJ'|'l v?j???4 wumviwh ?? licit would bo the future policy with regard to South Carolina he could not toll, lor as yet. nothing had been avowed.

If such were the case, would Mis- b sissippi stand quietly by, to witness her sister r< State defend herself against such fearful odds, r< upon the very issue raised by Mississippi? It n could not be; it was a thing so utterly at vari- t ance with the principles hitherto acknowledged hv this State, that he would not believe it.? "J ' Their fellow-feeling would not permit them to desert that star which shone so brilliantly, throughout the storm of the revolution, by which a tvranical power wa3 overthrowivtind y a glorious republic created out of a dependent province. He felt that Mississippi could not, P and would not abandon South Carolina- (loud cheers.) If any army should be sent to tram- f< pie upon her soil, devastate her country, to produce all the horrors of war, lay' in waste the ^ fertile fields, and spill the bloou of a noble peo- ^ pic, the heart of Mississippi would be moved, and ber sons would rush to the rescue. In jus- y tice, Mississippi ought not passively to submit to the destruction of a Southern State that only wished to preserve her institutions ; for the defence of those institutions was important alike to all Southern States. South Carolina had a a right to look to Mississippi for support and d sympathy, a proper response should he made, a and there would bo no crime in such a course. If he were asked to go out of the Union with South Carolina, his answer would be "no," for ....1 ..... iUn.. fn 11AAtnpminniic It uuii'aa uic> ucic unntuvu iu iu? vwiiiuuicuv .States in a secession, they would be worse off tl than before; and further, Mississippi would be j. more effective in the Union than out of it. She t| woul be able to give more .assistance and ad- \ vice to South Carolina. If he were asked what l ight States had to go out of the Union, his re- s ji!y would be : reserved rights, not found in the s Constitution, because they were above the Constitution. /', North Carolina Election. We nave only been able to gather the following from our exchanges, respecting the elections in y North Carolina. In the First District, the candi- r dates were the Hon. T. L. Clingman and Col. B g S. Gaither. The returns are too few to form any c | opinion as to the result. We have strong hopes that Clingman is elected?he is too good a Souiher?i man to be sacrificed upon the unholy altar of Federal power. In the Sbcond District, Joseph P. Caldwell, a ! whig, is elected without opposition. Green W. Caldwell, democrat, and A. Dockery, v whig, were the candidates in the Third District if We have only partial returns, but they indicate c the election of Dockery. ? ^ v In the Fourth District, James T. Morohead . whig, had no opposition. t In the Fifth District, that sterling advocate of Southern rights, A. W. Venable, and Calvin (i raves, a democratic submissionifit, were the op- ^ posing candidates. The Asheville Messenger. N froin which our information is derived, says of t Mr. Venable, " lie is too ultra a Southern rights \ man to meet their views"?meaning the i'.ibmis- | sinn party of the Fifth Congressional District.? j( We have very little doubt that Mr. Venable is g elected. John R. Daniel, democrat, in the Sixth, and W. S. A>r,e, democrat, in the Seventh, were elected .ithout opposition. We fear that Stanley, whig, has defeated Rulfiii, democrat, in the Eighth District. s In the Ninth, Daniel Outlaw, whig, is elected, < * without opposition. . i Fi.or.lDa Sun a it Cane ?
