From California. THE STEAMER. CHEROKEE. The steamer Cherokee (arrived at New York) left Chagres on the 2(Uh March, bringing 81 passengers and $1,158,818 00 on freight, and at least $500,000 in hands of passengers, making a total of 818. The Sacramento flood has entirely subsided, and no further danger is apprehended.

Town lots are daily rising in alue. All the other towns of the Sacramento and tributaries are thriving, particularly the new towns of I baviile, Vernon, Fremont, and a suites recently made on Feather River near its mouth, called Nicolaus. Communication has opened with all parts ot the Placer from the above points, and the three regular steamboats which leave this city for the great point of disembarkation, Sacramento City, are on each of their trips, crowded with passengers for the gold diggings. The weather has been delightful. On the San Joaquin the disturbances between Americans and Chilians are all settled.

The Southern country is uniformly quiet, rite past winter has been more severe throughout all California than any during the fifteen years preceding. The rains have been constant in the neighborhood of Los Angelos and San Diego, accompanied with much cold weather. As spring now approaches the southern towns begin to be population flocking to the mines. The roads are fast becoming pas- sable in the north and south. The floating population" is gradually drawing off, and digging implements are taken up again.

All to speak comparatively, are preparing for the mines, whence great stories of marvellous luck are wafted with every breath from the gold region. Those who have remained in the various diggings have labored at intervals during the Winter with astonishing fortune. The Alia Californian says that from three ounces to five hundred dollars the yield per diem has ranged for individual labor. We have heard of still more extraordinary results. It would be the height of folly to attempt an estimate of the average productiveness of the diggings under these circumstances.

These are the figures and they are the plain facts. In San Francisco business is becoming more brisk. Money still commands the highest rate of are falling and real estate is at a stand lumber is rapidly declining. The news is very encouraging, from all the placers. Gold dust is fast flowing into Marysville, Yuba City, and other cities near the mines, and money there is much easier at present than it is at San Francisco.

One thing appears to be pretty well settled, that the placers are richer after an overflow than before, as the floods bring down gold from above, sometimes even depositing a considerable quantity in the holes which had been out and left by miners. A twenty-three pound lump of gold had been exhibited in Stockton. It had been found near Wood's dry diggings, between the Stanislaus and Tuslumne, where manypieces weighing fifteen and twenty ounces had been obtained. It was said that a 931b. lump had been discovered and was about to be brought to Stockton.

Number of passengers by ships arrived at San Francisco from Jan. 29 to Feb. 27. Males Females In American vessels 1,149 21 In Foreign vessels 887 126 Total 2,036 Number arrived from April, 1849, to Feb27 In American vessels 30,574 628 In Foreign vessels 9,507 930 Total 40,081 This does not include the immigration over land and by coasting vessels and those probably brought by some ships, violating the law by taking more passengers than allowed, who do not report their whole number on arrival. The Presby'ery of California, in connection with the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States, met at Bcnicia, on Wednesday, February 20.

The opening sermon was preached bv Rev. S. Woodbridge, and on the organization of the body, Rev. Mr. Williams, of this city, was chosen moderator, and Rev.

Mr. Woodbridge, clerk. A correspondent of th vAlta Californium at Sacramento city a lump of the pure stuff, weighing twelve pounds avoirdupois, or about 11 pounds 7 ounces and lo pennyweights Troy. It is of an irregular egg shape, somewhat flattened, and of about eighteen inches circumference one way by twelve the other. Its intrinsic is at least but the holders have been offered for it.

THE SLAVERY QUESTION. Mr. Benton proceeded to address the Senate on the Bth. It was proposed to make the admission of California a part of a system of measures for the settlement of the whole question of slavery agitation. He was opposed to this mixing of subjects having no affinities, and in favor of giving California admission, a separate Constitution, and decision upon its own merits, was a State, and should not be mixed tip with anything below the dignity of a State.

She had washed her hands of at home, and should not be mixed up with it abroad. H- was opposed to mixing the questions of admitting California with all the questions which the slavery fgitation had produced, and making one general settlement of the whole, in the nature of a compact or compromise. The "uhjects creation of territorial governments -Vew Mexico, and the remaining part of Second. of a new State in Texas "ho'iiofj of her bound a i settlement of her dispute with Me xico and cession of her i SUr ntor to the United States. I Mird-Recapture of fugitive slaves.

Statcg Ab lition th sluTe trade in the Seventh of slavery within the U. and a non-enumerated catalogue of oppression, digression and encroachments upon the South. I his was the list ot subjects, and he i was against the mixture for reasons applied to the whole in the lump, and to each i separate ingredient.

California had the right to be treated as other Slates have been when asking for admission into the In of which has been subjected to the indignity of having their application coupled with the addition of inferior and foreign questions, lie objected to it on the principle of fair legislation, which rej quired every measure to stand upon its own merits. He objected on account of the nature of the subjects to be compiled with California, all angry, distracting, and threatening the Union with dissolution while her application is calm, conciliatory, and promising to strengthen the Union. He objected because California objected to it. She had provided in her Constitution that no legislative act should contain more than one subject, and that to be expressed I in the title. lie next considered the objections as to the connection of each of the proposed measures, with the question of the admission of California.

The question of Territorial Government, brought up the Wilinot principle involved in which had already been settled by California for the purpose' of removing all impediment to her admission. How unjust, then, to connect it with the question of her admission, to make her admission dependent upon its precedent settlement, with respect to two neighboring proviso involved the controverted constitutionality, and therefore should not be mixed up with a subject clearly beyond doubt, unconstitutional. lie was ready to vote for governments to the colonies, and believed that slavery was extinct in New Mexico and all California, and cannot be revived in anv part of either without positive enactments. He was ready to vote upon the Texas question, and to vote upon the proposition lor the recapture of fugitive slaves, but not to tie them to a proposition lor the admission of a new State. California had nothing to do with these questions, no interest or connection with them whatever.

For sixty years, the question of slavery in the District of Columbia, and slavery in the States, has remained untouched. Therefore, there are no reasons for the agitation and fears professed in the slave States. He desired to do with all these questions as Congress had done for sixtv them alone. The fact that the slave market is as good, and better now, than sixty years ago, was an evidence there is no danger to the rights of the slave States. Not only was there no danger, but he argued that Congress had, by the act of Northern men, added slave territory and this shows its disposition to build up, instead of defeating, the slaveholding interest.

As to the expediency of givipg all these subjects to a committee, he asserted that all their labors would be useless. If the good faith of Congress, so long proved, could not protect the rights of the States, nothing could. He reviewed the history of the admission of new States, and commented upon it, to show that no State had ever been treated as it was proposed to treat California. He considered the question of boundaries, contending that California's were correct and natural. The State could not be divided.

He alluded to and commented with much point on the views expressed by Mr. Clav last week, by which he warned the friends of California, that the speediest wav of getting California into the Union would he by coupling her with other otherwise there was a combination which would defeat the measure. He objected to this capitulation by Congress to a factional private was dishonorable, and his motto was honor firstby peace for no peace with dishonor." He commented upon the anomalous condition of Californiaher urgent necessities, and the strong necessity for immediate measures for her relief, and closed with an eloquent allusion to the destiny of the countrv on the Pacific. MR. BKKDER, who was tried in Perry county last week for the murder of his brother, was acquitted on the standing plea of insanity, lie was sentenced to the penitentiary until he gives satisfactory evidence that he is a sane man.

We regard the sentence as well merited and just, for, whether the criminal was altogether sane or not, the murder was malicious and premeditated. We consider him just about crazy enough to escape hanging, and just sane enough to justify his sentence to the penitentiary instead of the lunatic Sentinel.
