The following is the messagcof Governor Johnson, returning without his signature the appropriation bill, on Saturday, March 7th. State ay California, Executive .Dkfartnient, 1 Sacramento, March 7th, I.SiV7. ' [ To the Senate of California :—To your honorable body, in which the same originated, I retuin without approval "An Act making appropriations (o defray the civil expenses of the <-oyenr ment from the 1st of February, 1857, to the 30th Jane, 1857, inclusive. In the performance ol this act, it was my desire to have presented at length the reasons which induced me to withhold my approval ; but physically indisposed as I have been since the same was delivered to me, this fact must constitute an apology for the brevity with which so important a subject is considered. As to the constitutional power of the Legislature to make all needful appropriations for the expense of the State government, -?^ntertuiii not a doubt; aud the reasons why I do not approve this act, are independent of any such objections. This act appropriates two hundred and thirty-two thousand one hundred and sixty-nine dollars and ninety-nine cts., (S292,169 99.) to be expended from the first of February to July ofthe present year, and for the payment ofthe warrants so to be drawn, the holders of the same must necessarily look to the revenues to he paid into the Treasurj during the i resent fiscal year. This amount superadded to the necessary expenditures of the preceding portions of the flsc.il year, with no further dependence than the existing revenue laws, will, by the most liberal calculation, leave a deficiency on the first of July, of an amount not less than three hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($350,- 000.) We have, as a State, too long pursued a similar system of expenditures, aud now our embarrassed financial condition is presented as the unavoidable result. It may be too late to retrieve the past, but not to provide security for the present. At the opening of the present session of the Legislature, I presented an exhibit of (lie finances of the State, and the probable condition of affairs on the first of July next. By that exhibit you were informed that a deficiency of at least three hundred thousand ($300,0000) dollars during the present fiscal year would exist, .unless additional revenue were resorted to. Various suggestions were also made of measures that could be idopted; whereby the revenue could be increased, in my opinion amply sufficient to meet the necessary wants of the government, Now, some two mouths uf the session have elapsed, and although with the present act an amount exceeding three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) lias been appropriated by tlie Legislature, no measures has been adopted whereby these expenditures arc to be met. Is it uot quite time that we should stop and reflect upon the condition of affairs, and instead of making further appropriations, fust devise ways and means to meet these expenditures? 'Do this as preliminary step, aud then pass your approprii tiou bills for such purposes as are necessary, but prohibiting the Controller from issuing his warrants on the Treasury in any case, unless the money is there to meet it; then will the State- for the first time in its history, have attained a cash basis—scrip speculations alike disgraceful to the character of the Slate and her public officers, have ceased, acd economy and frugality marl: the administration of public affairs. It R unnecessary for me to suggest to your honorable body that you can. by your legislation, in a few days remedy the objections which are herein made to the appropriation act, either by resorting to the different modes indicated in my annual message, or at the adoption of such other amendments to the revenue laws as you may deem advisable. By so doing, the inconvenience to those who are the creditors of the State, and who are anxiously awaiting the passage of an appropria tien bill, will be but temporary, and they will he amply requited in the substantial benefit you will confer in providing the means to pay the warrants they may receive.

The following figures set forth the operations of the United States Surveyor General's Office from its organization to the present time. Some idea of the vast amount of work performed in Ihis office can be formed Irom the fact below set forth, that the number of miles of survey which have been run is 77,693, which. aB remarked, "if extended, would more than reach three times around the "lobe." It also appears that fully poa-Altn of the whole State has been surveyed, ihe total area being computed at 90,403,680 acres ; and tbe total number of acres surveyed and ready for sale is 20,532,594. This will be good news for the farmers in the Eastern States, who have turned their eyes to this State, a large emigration of whom may be expected as ihe wagon-road bill has become law.

Mexican Trtnly Willi tim; Uiilteil States. Synopsi.s of the New Treaty with the Unitkd States.—We copy the following synopsis of the new treaty concluded with Mexico by Mr. Forsyth, from the Extraordinary : Altogether there are five treaties, each one hinging on the other, and the whole completing cue negotiation that is intended to relieve Mexico from her financial embarrassments and bring to her coast a commercial fleet, and to her frontiers a host of traders, that must, in a very few years ive an entirely new life and activity to the cotu- lerce on the coasts and frontiers of this Republic. In order, we will give the main features of this treaty : The first provides for the establishment of a commission for the adjudication of all the claims of the citizens of the two Republics, respectively against the government of the other, with the exception of such American claims as Mexico is released from by the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. The question of Mexican reclamations against the United States for Indian depredations on the frontier, under the 11th Article of the Treaty of Guadalupe, being a mooted point between the two Republics, it is to be submitted to the arbitrament of the Emperor of the French. If his answer be in favcrof Mexico, these claims are to go before the Board of Commissioners, The Board is to be composed of four Commissioners and two Secretaries, appointed by the two Governments, and the Board shall be empowered to elect a fifth member who shall act as umpire aud decide all questions that cannot be adjusted by the other four. The second is a Treaty of Reciprocity, providing lor free trade, in certain articles that are enumerated, on the land and river frontiers of the two Republics—but excluding their coast lines. This treaty is based upon the principles of the Reciprocity Treaty betwen the United States and Great Britain, in reference to the Canadian frontiers. The third is a Postal Treaty, providing for a weekly line of mail steamers, supported by both Governments, touching at all the ports of the two countries ou the Gulf of Mexico, from Mobile to Sisal. The fourth provides for a general convention' stipulating, among other things, for the revival or reconstruction of the commercial treaty of 1831. tyetvi.ee the two republics, which treaty has expired by its own limitation. Tlie fifth is a treaty of loan and anticipation o' duties, bv which the United States advances to Mexico $15,000,000, at four per cent per annum. Seven of the fifteen millions are to be repaid by an arrangement ot f 3 per cent of the revenue o* the Mexican custom houses, until principal and interest are paid. Three millions ofthe fifteen are to remain in the United States Treasury for the payment of Arner- cau claims to be adjudicated by the mixed commission. If this sum should not be sufficient for the purpose oi satisfying the claims recognized by the commission, the Mexican government is to pay the deficit. This sum carries no interest until it is paid out of the United States Treasury, either to Mexico or to the American claimants. Four millions are to he devoted by the United States to the extinguishment of the British convention debt of Mexico. The remaining $8,000,000 are to be ptvUl in caste to Mexico, and is to be extinguished by an asmgn*. ment of 20 per cent, of the Mexiciin rcTenne derived from commerce of all kinds, except In European cotton fabrics, to and from tht* Uni I ed States,, in American or Mexican bottom-*. This 10 per cent is to be credited to the exporter nr importer-, as the case may be, and charged to »he United- States on account ot the $8,000,000. Thin arrangement is to continue until the *P,u00,OO«, wiih interest, are absorbed. **i-**C*- . f Ai-ii-oua Territory. Tbe territory Is in a very had condition. The" Apaches continue to traverse it, large bands of 50 to 150. About five thousand bead of stock arc-' carried out of Sonora per annum by ther-e marauders, to say nothing of captivcn aud booty. The' Government of Mexico and people «f Sonoraare at their mercy. It would be a wise and liberal policy in-our government to purchase Sonora—whip out tat-pe maratiderB, protect thi? p/iopl*-, -mil tle- vclop tbe resources of that silver Statt. Gandara has gone to the City of Mexico for redress, and will probably soon return to Sonora as Governor and Commandanlc-General. He is too great a man to be put down and destroyed, and no such finale is looked for by intelligent Mexieans* The late civil war has destroyed ,tlie grain, and produce of the country, and prices rnle kigh. They would all consider a purchase by the United States as a relief from savage depredations and domestic tyranny.'" Value of the Arizona Minks.—From another letter from the Colorado we have been permitted to make the following extracts. The writer ie ex" cecdingly sanguine as to tbe great mineral resources of the new territory : " By the arrival of the schooner Joannet at the mouth of the Colorado the Arizona Mining Company received some $12,000 worth of goods and machinery, which will nuch facilitate their operations. The Gila River Copper Mining Company,, whose mines are only twenty-live miles above Fort- Yuma, received by the same vessel tools, black- smillrs shop and goods,which will enable the proprietors to work for tiie first time with adyantage. This mine promises to yield ail that could-be hoped or desired. Some fifteen or twenty veins have beeu opened and the prospecting is eiill going ouf new discoveries being made from time to time. Four assays of the ore of this mine have resulted as follows:—Two by Justh & Hun ter,- red oxidd' and carbonate, 58 and 57 per cent, of metallic1 copper. One assay by Wass, Moliter Stt Co , gray sulphuret 57 per cent; and one by George Hues- ton, sillicate and carbonate of copper 31,5. Since these assays other veins of gray ore and two containing blue crystals of copper have been opened, averaging from 60 to 80 percent. The silver mines of Mr. Douglas, at the Sopori ranch, arc reported to be exceedingly rich, and ot greatextent.. Other rich veins have been abandoned on account of the Apaches, but when a Democratic Congress* shall have extended over the citizens of Arizona the protection they claim under a separate territorial organization, then these mines wilL be resumed, and add lo that great wealth which is to- make Arizona the peer of California, as regards.1 mineral resources."— S. F. Herald. Congressional Proceedings. Washington, Feb. 147 The Senate debated to-day for nearly three hours, the Dallas and Clarendon treaty. Mr. Mason sustained the policy in an elaborate speech- vindicating the considerations upon which it had been recommended by the Administration. Objections were urged that the British protectorate was more distinctly recognized than under the Clayton convention; that while the sovereignty of the Bay Islands was nominally relinquished to Honduras, the British possessions confirmed their practical authority there ; and finally, that Hon dnras, by her treaty, with a virtual renunciation of power ever these islands, enacted the Wilmot proviso by the exclusion of slavery. ■ After these points had been urged from various quarters, Mr. Douglass opened in fierce assault upon the whole arrangement, and, by a vote of 33- to 8, the treaty was recommitted, with a view1 to- modifications conforming to the sentiments expressed. The house, with but little debate, and without a syllable being uttered in reference to the slavery question, passed the bills providing for the admis- slon.of Oregon and Minnesota into the confederacy as sovereign states. The bill for the relief of the? inhabitants of Kansas, was reported by tl;i) committee ou Territories. The bill abrogates tho laws passed by the Kansas pro-slavery Legislature, and provides for a new election. Among other items.. $700,000 are appropriated for the pacification of tlie savages of Oregon and Washington. The Atlantic submarine telegraph bill has again- been laid upon the table. In the Senate a resolution was adopted calling.' on the Secretary of War to communicate copies of all correspondence not heretofore furnished relative to tlie California Vigilance Committee of 1850.. Also, a resolution calling for information as to the results ofthe trial of camels in the military service, A resolution to appoint a committee to ascertain and report a mode of examining the votes for President and Vice President, and to notify them of their election, was adopted. The Indian appropriation bill, involving a million of dollars, was passed. A bill has been introduced to secure to actual settlers, at $2 50 per acre, the alternate sections of pubiic lands in grants made to Stales for railroad purposes. De.Ube.—This distinguished and venerable man of science died on,the 2d inst.. in Loudon, at the- age of 89 years. He is well known by his writings- in the United States, especially Ivy his "Dictionary of Arts. Science aud Mining," which has no equal in any language. Emerson, in a lecture on tho Anglo-Americans,, says :" Americans would ride in steivmers made of lucifer matches, if they could thereby save Eve minutes in crossing the Atlantic." A new and very rich gold lead has been discovered on th(LS**ramento aud Nevada road.

The following is the messagcof Governor Johnson, returning without his signature the appropriation bill, on Saturday, March 7th. State ay California, Executive .Dkfartnient, 1 Sacramento, March 7th, I.SiV7. ' [ To the Senate of California :—To your honorable body, in which the same originated, I retuin without approval "An Act making appropriations (o defray the civil expenses of the <-oyenr ment from the 1st of February, 1857, to the 30th Jane, 1857, inclusive. In the performance ol this act, it was my desire to have presented at length the reasons which induced me to withhold my approval ; but physically indisposed as I have been since the same was delivered to me, this fact must constitute an apology for the brevity with which so important a subject is considered. As to the constitutional power of the Legislature to make all needful appropriations for the expense of the State government, -?^ntertuiii not a doubt; aud the reasons why I do not approve this act, are independent of any such objections. This act appropriates two hundred and thirty-two thousand one hundred and sixty-nine dollars and ninety-nine cts., (S292,169 99.) to be expended from the first of February to July ofthe present year, and for the payment ofthe warrants so to be drawn, the holders of the same must necessarily look to the revenues to he paid into the Treasurj during the i resent fiscal year. This amount superadded to the necessary expenditures of the preceding portions of the flsc.il year, with no further dependence than the existing revenue laws, will, by the most liberal calculation, leave a deficiency on the first of July, of an amount not less than three hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($350,- 000.) We have, as a State, too long pursued a similar system of expenditures, aud now our embarrassed financial condition is presented as the unavoidable result. It may be too late to retrieve the past, but not to provide security for the present. At the opening of the present session of the Legislature, I presented an exhibit of (lie finances of the State, and the probable condition of affairs on the first of July next. By that exhibit you were informed that a deficiency of at least three hundred thousand ($300,0000) dollars during the present fiscal year would exist, .unless additional revenue were resorted to. Various suggestions were also made of measures that could be idopted; whereby the revenue could be increased, in my opinion amply sufficient to meet the necessary wants of the government, Now, some two mouths uf the session have elapsed, and although with the present act an amount exceeding three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) lias been appropriated by tlie Legislature, no measures has been adopted whereby these expenditures arc to be met. Is it uot quite time that we should stop and reflect upon the condition of affairs, and instead of making further appropriations, fust devise ways and means to meet these expenditures? 'Do this as preliminary step, aud then pass your approprii tiou bills for such purposes as are necessary, but prohibiting the Controller from issuing his warrants on the Treasury in any case, unless the money is there to meet it; then will the State- for the first time in its history, have attained a cash basis—scrip speculations alike disgraceful to the character of the Slate and her public officers, have ceased, acd economy and frugality marl: the administration of public affairs. It R unnecessary for me to suggest to your honorable body that you can. by your legislation, in a few days remedy the objections which are herein made to the appropriation act, either by resorting to the different modes indicated in my annual message, or at the adoption of such other amendments to the revenue laws as you may deem advisable. By so doing, the inconvenience to those who are the creditors of the State, and who are anxiously awaiting the passage of an appropria tien bill, will be but temporary, and they will he amply requited in the substantial benefit you will confer in providing the means to pay the warrants they may receive.

The following figures set forth the operations of the United States Surveyor General's Office from its organization to the present time. Some idea of the vast amount of work performed in Ihis office can be formed Irom the fact below set forth, that the number of miles of survey which have been run is 77,693, which. aB remarked, "if extended, would more than reach three times around the "lobe." It also appears that fully poa-Altn of the whole State has been surveyed, ihe total area being computed at 90,403,680 acres ; and tbe total number of acres surveyed and ready for sale is 20,532,594. This will be good news for the farmers in the Eastern States, who have turned their eyes to this State, a large emigration of whom may be expected as ihe wagon-road bill has become law.

Mexican Trtnly Willi tim; Uiilteil States. Synopsi.s of the New Treaty with the Unitkd States.—We copy the following synopsis of the new treaty concluded with Mexico by Mr. Forsyth, from the Extraordinary : Altogether there are five treaties, each one hinging on the other, and the whole completing cue negotiation that is intended to relieve Mexico from her financial embarrassments and bring to her coast a commercial fleet, and to her frontiers a host of traders, that must, in a very few years ive an entirely new life and activity to the cotu- lerce on the coasts and frontiers of this Republic. In order, we will give the main features of this treaty : The first provides for the establishment of a commission for the adjudication of all the claims of the citizens of the two Republics, respectively against the government of the other, with the exception of such American claims as Mexico is released from by the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. The question of Mexican reclamations against the United States for Indian depredations on the frontier, under the 11th Article of the Treaty of Guadalupe, being a mooted point between the two Republics, it is to be submitted to the arbitrament of the Emperor of the French. If his answer be in favcrof Mexico, these claims are to go before the Board of Commissioners, The Board is to be composed of four Commissioners and two Secretaries, appointed by the two Governments, and the Board shall be empowered to elect a fifth member who shall act as umpire aud decide all questions that cannot be adjusted by the other four. The second is a Treaty of Reciprocity, providing lor free trade, in certain articles that are enumerated, on the land and river frontiers of the two Republics—but excluding their coast lines. This treaty is based upon the principles of the Reciprocity Treaty betwen the United States and Great Britain, in reference to the Canadian frontiers. The third is a Postal Treaty, providing for a weekly line of mail steamers, supported by both Governments, touching at all the ports of the two countries ou the Gulf of Mexico, from Mobile to Sisal. The fourth provides for a general convention' stipulating, among other things, for the revival or reconstruction of the commercial treaty of 1831. tyetvi.ee the two republics, which treaty has expired by its own limitation. Tlie fifth is a treaty of loan and anticipation o' duties, bv which the United States advances to Mexico $15,000,000, at four per cent per annum. Seven of the fifteen millions are to be repaid by an arrangement ot f 3 per cent of the revenue o* the Mexican custom houses, until principal and interest are paid. Three millions ofthe fifteen are to remain in the United States Treasury for the payment of Arner- cau claims to be adjudicated by the mixed commission. If this sum should not be sufficient for the purpose oi satisfying the claims recognized by the commission, the Mexican government is to pay the deficit. This sum carries no interest until it is paid out of the United States Treasury, either to Mexico or to the American claimants. Four millions are to he devoted by the United States to the extinguishment of the British convention debt of Mexico. The remaining $8,000,000 are to be ptvUl in caste to Mexico, and is to be extinguished by an asmgn*. ment of 20 per cent, of the Mexiciin rcTenne derived from commerce of all kinds, except In European cotton fabrics, to and from tht* Uni I ed States,, in American or Mexican bottom-*. This 10 per cent is to be credited to the exporter nr importer-, as the case may be, and charged to »he United- States on account ot the $8,000,000. Thin arrangement is to continue until the *P,u00,OO«, wiih interest, are absorbed. **i-**C*- . f Ai-ii-oua Territory. Tbe territory Is in a very had condition. The" Apaches continue to traverse it, large bands of 50 to 150. About five thousand bead of stock arc-' carried out of Sonora per annum by ther-e marauders, to say nothing of captivcn aud booty. The' Government of Mexico and people «f Sonoraare at their mercy. It would be a wise and liberal policy in-our government to purchase Sonora—whip out tat-pe maratiderB, protect thi? p/iopl*-, -mil tle- vclop tbe resources of that silver Statt. Gandara has gone to the City of Mexico for redress, and will probably soon return to Sonora as Governor and Commandanlc-General. He is too great a man to be put down and destroyed, and no such finale is looked for by intelligent Mexieans* The late civil war has destroyed ,tlie grain, and produce of the country, and prices rnle kigh. They would all consider a purchase by the United States as a relief from savage depredations and domestic tyranny.'" Value of the Arizona Minks.—From another letter from the Colorado we have been permitted to make the following extracts. The writer ie ex" cecdingly sanguine as to tbe great mineral resources of the new territory : " By the arrival of the schooner Joannet at the mouth of the Colorado the Arizona Mining Company received some $12,000 worth of goods and machinery, which will nuch facilitate their operations. The Gila River Copper Mining Company,, whose mines are only twenty-live miles above Fort- Yuma, received by the same vessel tools, black- smillrs shop and goods,which will enable the proprietors to work for tiie first time with adyantage. This mine promises to yield ail that could-be hoped or desired. Some fifteen or twenty veins have beeu opened and the prospecting is eiill going ouf new discoveries being made from time to time. Four assays of the ore of this mine have resulted as follows:—Two by Justh & Hun ter,- red oxidd' and carbonate, 58 and 57 per cent, of metallic1 copper. One assay by Wass, Moliter Stt Co , gray sulphuret 57 per cent; and one by George Hues- ton, sillicate and carbonate of copper 31,5. Since these assays other veins of gray ore and two containing blue crystals of copper have been opened, averaging from 60 to 80 percent. The silver mines of Mr. Douglas, at the Sopori ranch, arc reported to be exceedingly rich, and ot greatextent.. Other rich veins have been abandoned on account of the Apaches, but when a Democratic Congress* shall have extended over the citizens of Arizona the protection they claim under a separate territorial organization, then these mines wilL be resumed, and add lo that great wealth which is to- make Arizona the peer of California, as regards.1 mineral resources."— S. F. Herald. Congressional Proceedings. Washington, Feb. 147 The Senate debated to-day for nearly three hours, the Dallas and Clarendon treaty. Mr. Mason sustained the policy in an elaborate speech- vindicating the considerations upon which it had been recommended by the Administration. Objections were urged that the British protectorate was more distinctly recognized than under the Clayton convention; that while the sovereignty of the Bay Islands was nominally relinquished to Honduras, the British possessions confirmed their practical authority there ; and finally, that Hon dnras, by her treaty, with a virtual renunciation of power ever these islands, enacted the Wilmot proviso by the exclusion of slavery. ■ After these points had been urged from various quarters, Mr. Douglass opened in fierce assault upon the whole arrangement, and, by a vote of 33- to 8, the treaty was recommitted, with a view1 to- modifications conforming to the sentiments expressed. The house, with but little debate, and without a syllable being uttered in reference to the slavery question, passed the bills providing for the admis- slon.of Oregon and Minnesota into the confederacy as sovereign states. The bill for the relief of the? inhabitants of Kansas, was reported by tl;i) committee ou Territories. The bill abrogates tho laws passed by the Kansas pro-slavery Legislature, and provides for a new election. Among other items.. $700,000 are appropriated for the pacification of tlie savages of Oregon and Washington. The Atlantic submarine telegraph bill has again- been laid upon the table. In the Senate a resolution was adopted calling.' on the Secretary of War to communicate copies of all correspondence not heretofore furnished relative to tlie California Vigilance Committee of 1850.. Also, a resolution calling for information as to the results ofthe trial of camels in the military service, A resolution to appoint a committee to ascertain and report a mode of examining the votes for President and Vice President, and to notify them of their election, was adopted. The Indian appropriation bill, involving a million of dollars, was passed. A bill has been introduced to secure to actual settlers, at $2 50 per acre, the alternate sections of pubiic lands in grants made to Stales for railroad purposes. De.Ube.—This distinguished and venerable man of science died on,the 2d inst.. in Loudon, at the- age of 89 years. He is well known by his writings- in the United States, especially Ivy his "Dictionary of Arts. Science aud Mining," which has no equal in any language. Emerson, in a lecture on tho Anglo-Americans,, says :" Americans would ride in steivmers made of lucifer matches, if they could thereby save Eve minutes in crossing the Atlantic."
