CONGRESSIONAL^-
y. On the 13th, fn the Senate Mr» Doug lassr presented nhd 'credentials t)f Premont and Gwynne, Senators from California, and a memorial asking fft*admission of that State into the Colon! Laid on the table and ordered to be printed A number of petitions were presented ngainit the admission of slave States, and the extension of Slavery, which gave rise 10 quite an exciting debate, but a motion to lay them on the table finally prevailed. The Senate then resumed the consideration of Mr. Foot's proposition to refer all exciting questions to a Select Committee of thirteen^ Several amendments were proposed. Mr. Benton wanted to modify the resolutions jto
as to provide that the Select Committee shall not consider the question of the admission of California. Mr. Baldwin accepted of the modification to his Amendment proposed by Mr. Benton.— Mr. Webster thought no practical reBult could be had from any series of resolutions, and he was satisfied the only proper course would be to keep the question of the* admission of California separate and distinct He was prepared to vote for her admission just as she came. Mr. Cass coincided with Mr. Clay's opinion of the Select Committee. He looked upon it as one more chance for the settlement of this monstrous question, 'though he had but little hope of such a result. He complimented Foote, and said he had given an exhibition of moral courage almost unequalled, when he disarmed the position tnken by Calhoun in his speech. Mr. Cass said it was well ascertained that no Wilmot Proviso could ever pass the Senate. He thougth the fugitive Slave bill ought to be taken up and adjusted so as to be satisfactory to the mojority and passed. The passage of that bill would do much towards securing abetter feeling on the part of the South. Mr. Calhoun replied to Mr. Cass.
He said the only way to settle the matter would be to amend the constitution, as he had indicated. He was prepared, if tho Union should be dissolved, to show that Cuss had a full share in producing that result.
In the House, an ineffectual attempt
On the 18th, Mr. Badger fluor, proceeded at some length to consider the ivalue of the Union and the evils of a separation. Before considering the question whether there was a probability of any action by Congress which could lead to disunion and if there was such a possibility was there a probaility of such a state of things? lie was no alarmist but considering jt well to be guarded againsi everything which threatens our perpetuity he must say that no one who looked upon tho proceedings here and tho convulsions throughout the country could doubt the probability that a separation might follow certain course of legislation. In tho House, Mr. Williams defended the course of Gen. Taylor, and protested against the doctrines avowed by California. Ho hoped California would be admitted, and territorial government formed from tho remainder of the territory without the Wilmot Proviso: In conclusion ho said Calhoun had erectcd a Southern platform, and Webster a National one, and appealed to all t6 come to the rescue of the country, Mr. Casey was willing to leave the question where the Constitution loaves it. Tho whole difficulty has grown out of a difference of views as to the constitutional power on this subject. The North contends one way* and the South the other. He believed firmly that Mexican laws, constitutional and organic made thefn free. That if a slave be taken there now he would instantly become free, but with regard to the Territory of the U. S. he believed that Congress had full and ample power of the subject and those persons.

CALIFORNIA-
r.A
Washington letter writer of a late {late thus speaks of prospects in California rwra my if- n~ "fTi have conversed with a great many gentlemen of the highest intelligence, and great practical Information, who have arrived in this city within the last thirty days from California, as to the extent of gold in that region, and but one answer is given by all of them—that it is not only inexhaustible, but that the main bodies of it have not yet been discovered. From all the information 1 can acquire after the most diligent application, 1 am forced,to the conviction that their opinion Is correct. And if so, there can be no dotibtthat an entire revolution as to the value of the precious m^tal will before long take plecCi, not only in the United States, but throughout the world. The Canadians have lately taken the fever also, and there are hundreds of them In New York offering almost any price for a ticket in any of the steamers of this or next month.',-
Slave Breeding in Virginia. Thaddeus Stevens, in a late speech in the House says, amongst other very caustic things "The learned and able gentleman from Virginia,(Mr. Meade,) in a pamphlet which he laid upon our table, takes the same view of it. He says,"
Virginia
has a slave population of near half a million, whose value is chiefly dependant on the Southern demand." Let us pause a moment over this humiliating confession. In plain English, what does it mean? That Virginia is now only fit to be the breeder, not the employer of slaves. That she is reduced to the con dition that her proud chivalry are compelled to turn slave-traders for a livllihood I Instead of attempting to renovate the soil, and by their own honest labor compelling the earth to yield her abundance instead of seeking for the best breed of cattle and horses to feed on her hills and valleys, and fertilize the land, the sor\s of that great State must devote their time to selecting and grooming the most lusty sires and the most fruitful wenches, to supply the slave barracoons of the South. And the learned gentleman pathetically laments that the profits of this genteel traffic will be greatly lessened by the circumscription of slavery! This is his picture, not mine."
Two gold hunters, one a Massachusetts man and the other a Kentuckinn, were digging hnppily together in a placer near the Sacramento. Resting on
negroes here?'' Said the Kentuckian, "What do we want of niggers—are we not making niggers of ourselves?"— There is a moral in this colloquy.
Wherever white men work, labor is esteemed honorable, and while white men dig the soil of California, the negro hns no place there. It is only where labor becomes a dishonor n'nd degradn-
having the tion to tho white man, that he seeks slaves to do that labor. While there is no slavery in California, no man will hold it dishonorable to toil, but the moment tho white man's toil is set against that of a slave, he will scorn nnd abandon it. The Kentuckian was right. In
California* or wherever labor is free, the white man is both mastor and slave the master of his time and actions, and the slave of those common necessities which make the toil which answers them useful, honest, dignified and honorable,— N. Y. Sun.
LARGE LUMPS OF GOLD.—Some astonishingly large pieces of gold are reported to have been found at the Stockton mines, in California, within the last two weeks of January. A letter of January 31, to the New York Tribune, says:
One piece, weighing <twenty-three pounds>, was brought to Stockton; that another piece of incredible size and weight was also reported to have been brought to Stockton on Friday—it was said to weigh <ninety-eight pounds>. I saw a number of persons on board the Stockton boat who had seen the lump weighing twenty-three pounds. The gentleman who carries the express between Stockton and San Francisco told me <he saw and had in his hands the piece weighing ninety-eight pounds>. If this be true, it is the largest piece of gold ever found, excepting one found in the Ural mountains, which weighed nearly one hundred pounds, troy. ———————
A florae** opinion of Piank Road. The N» Carolinian tellsthe following anecdote of an old farmer of that region, wild had tried the plaftk road: "He \|as at first opposed to the plank road, and thought it would bet waste of money to build it. But he came to Fayetteville with his wagon and produce, and drove on it some miles. When he got back to Chatham, our merchant friend asked him if he had seen the piank road *Yes,' hesaid,4he had seen it.' •Well, did you drive on itf 'Yes.* 4Well don't you think you con carry four times as much weight 6n St, with your four horse team, as on a common road I' 40h, yes,' said he, Mt is first rate tnd it is a fact that when the wagon got to tho end of the planks and struck the heavy dirt road,
ctiery horse stopped and looked around
The Use of Single Hill, The hill immediately back of Can nelton is the most servicable one that we have ever seen. It rises some 250 feet front the plain—at its base is pure, free-stone water.

The expedition in search of Sir John Franklin will sail from this port in May, and will consist of two schooners suitable for the navigation of the Arctic Seas, of 70 to 90 tons burden..

FMPORT5ANTCAUTION TO ALL INVALIDS AND FRIENDS OF INVALIDS. There is but one genuine preparation of it© CHERRY—that is Dr. SwayneV, all others, by a iittle inquiry in the quarters where they originate, will be found to be "fictions aud counterfeit." The great and increasing demand for the "original article'' has induced a host of unprincipled men toput forth spurious mixtures, and to give currency to their nostrums, attach the name of Wild Cherrv, thinking to borrow a ruputation from that already established. As you value your lives, beware of them. Some are called 'Balsams,' 'Cherry Pectoral,''Wild Cherry and Tar,' 'YVine of Wild Cherry,' 'Wild Cherry Pills,'lSarsapariUaand Wild Cherry Bitters,' and a host of others, who, in some way, attach the name of Wild Cherry. No one ever thought of using this name for an article of their own until it had become established and known as belonging to one of-the greatest remedies ever discovered for the benefit of the human family.
That remed vis Dr. Swayne's Compound Syw rup of Wild Cherry, the original and only genu*, ine. Remember, it is put up in square bottles.cov. ered with a beautiful wrapper, (steel engraving.i with the portrait of Dr. Swayne thereon: alsohis signature SWAYNE'S CELEBRATED VERMIFUGE,

The first operation ia to lobien from tha'oowi of the stomacn and bowels the varioua impurities and-crudities constantly aettling rouud them ahd to remove the hardened faeces which collect in the convolutions of the small intestines. Other medicbea only partially Cleanse these, and le&vh such collected masses behind to produce hatritaal CosUveness, with all ita train of evils, or sudden Diarrhoea with ita imminent dangers.
