Hides and lealher have lately gone up to a higher figure than at. any previous time within the memory of our oldest boot-wearers. Buenos Ayres hides—the best quality in the market—HOW sell for 34 1-2 cents per pound, while last June the price was 23 cents. This Is a rise of fully GO per cent, in eight months, though the present supply isfltitlefS than usual at this season of the year, There has been a gradual advance in the price of hides since 1849, when the best quality could be bought for eigbt to nine cents. Those long-threatened letters that should show Franklin Pierce's private secretary. Mr. Sydney Webster, Fletcher Webster, Mr. Nicholson ofthe Union, md evert Mr. Marcy, as implicated in tbe Nicaragua filibusterings, were produced by ex- consul Fabens. in the course of his written speech of defence upon the filibuster examination. The transfer deed of interest in the Mosquito Grant from Fabens, Ferrer, and Kinney, to Nicholson and the Webster?, was also produced. Captain MfcClelland's (TJ. S. A.) report on his Crimean visit, has been sent to the Senate. The reports of Jfnjors De!afield and Mordecai are necessarily delayed. Capt. McC. .gives a minute account of tho organizations of the various European armies, particularly those employed before Sebastopol. The Secretary of the Navy will detail two ships prior to hia leaving the Department, to assist in laying the telegraph cable between Newfoundland and the coast of Ireland. The bill went to the President on the 27th February, and would undoubtedly te signed by him. Bishop Scott, of Oregon and Washington Territories, was taken leave of on the 4th inst; at Calvary church (Di'. Hawk's,) by a numerous congregation, assembled to wish him God-speed. The Bishop arrived in Sau Francisco on the John L. Stephens. It is said ttie late Administration decided not to take any action upoa the new Mexican treaty, but will leave it to be acted on by the new Administration, consequently it will not be communicated to the Senate ior tbe present. A strange and deliberate attempt to murder a woman named Emma Greene, in a liouse of assignation in Elizabeth street, New York, by shooting her iu the abdomen with a revolver, occurred on the night of Feb. 25th. Th€ra is great excitement in the provision market at Cincinnati, on accouut of a decrease iu the number and weight of hogs slaughtered during the present season. O the 26th Feb. a rencontre took place in the House of Representatives between Mr. Wright, ot Tennessee, and Mr Sherman. Rumors of a duel were current. The Kansas Legislature has adjourned. Gov^ Geary has vetoed the bill calling a convention to form a constitution preparatory to admission into the Union. In Minnesota, the Legislature is discussing plans for the organization of a State government. Mr. J. Glancey Jones will be tendered a foreign mission. Kx-President Santa Ana has been banished from San Domingo. Kaxsas.—The Jefferson city correspondent of the St. Louis Democrat learns from the passengers Irom Kansas that "a serious difficulty had arisen between Gov Geary and Judge Sherrod, growfug out of the refusal of tbe former to ap- potnt the latter Sheriff, as deaiied by the Legtsla. lure. Sherrod had avowed his intention to kill tlie Governor, aud meeting him shortly afterwards in the street spat in his (ace. Geary did uot resent tbis, but his friends got up an indignation meeting, which Sheriff Jones, Judge Sherrod aadotherfl attempted to break up, wheu a conflict ensued, in which Sheirod shot Mr. Sheppard, one of Gov- Geary's friends, four times, killing niniand wound, ing two others. Mr. Jones, the Goverucrs secretary, then shot Sherrod, the ball passing through his head aud kiiling him instantly. Very great excitement existed at Lecompton, and a general tight was anticipated that night. Gov. Geary's residence was guarded by United States troops. Mr. Sherrod or Sherrard is the man who hud been appointed by the rourt to fid the vacancy occasioned by Sheriff Jonet*' resignation, aud to whou. Guv. Geary refused to grant a commission, on the ground ot iiis habitual drunkenness." The West- port correspondent ol the Republican says that ■■ Sherrod did not spit in the Governor's face, but called him a liar, coward aud scoundrel." Reckptiox. of the Russian Mlmster nr tub PitESlDKivr.—Tbe Washington Union ot 20th ol February says : We are informed that at uoou on Saturday last Mr. Edward de Stock!, who ior a considerable period has been secretary of the legation, aud charge d'affairs of his imperial majesty, the Emperor of Russia, in this cily. had an official interview with the President for the purpose of delivering his credentials, aud was received in his uew character as envoy extraordinary jnd minister plenipotentiary ol his sovereign to ihis Government. He addressed the foi.owing re- maiks to the President on the occasion :— Mn. PiiEsiDExr;—It has pleased his Imperial M.ijesty, my august master, to confer upon me the honor of representing him as Euvoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary near the Government of the United States. 1 am directed by the Emperor, upon the occasion of deliveiiug my credentials, to express to you his Majesty's earnest wish that the friendly relations which have so happily aud uninterruptedly existed between the I governments and people of the two countries may : continue to be preserved aad strengthened. The increased and increasing Intercourse between the two couHtries. and the additional facilities of trade and commerce which it is plainly the interest of both to cherish and promote, furnish, I trust, increased guarantees for an unbroken continuance and still stronger consolidation of those relations of amity and good will. A* for myself, person- all. Mr. President, I cannot allow this occasion to pas? without the acknowledgment of my profound sense of the uniform kindness and consideration which has been manifested towards me by the government and citizens of this country during my connection with, and while I have been in charge of, the imperial legation hero ; and I will not al* low myself to doubt tbat, in my new capacity, my official and social relations will continue to be of the same gratifying and friendly character. To this the President replied in suitable terms. Russia has concluded a treaty with China to enable her to trade with the live Chinese porta open to t- reigb enmmr-rce. The Spanish Government, it is important to mention, have resolved to despatch a fleet against Mexico, viz : one ship of the line, one frigate, one brig and two steamers, to reinforce the squad ron at Cuba, in consequence of grievous outrages upon Spanish residents in Mexico. There is, however, one great impediment; that i?, the want of funds, the treasury being practically exhaust ed for the present. A Governor fou Life.—It seems that owing to the blundering of the last Legislature of Missis sippi, that State has a perpetual Governor. The Natchez Free Trader says: In his late message to the Legislature on this subject. Gov. McRao says that he is Governor for life. We should have no objections to his being Governor of Mississipp' for many years to come, but the organic law of tht Slate provides that the Governor shall be elected every two years. But it seems that the botch, work of the Legislature of 1854, in submitting changes to the constitution, liave managed to .mat the term of Governorship perpetual, and no or.e can tell when the official term of tlie Jadges and members of the Legislature will expire, The whole affair is iu mud, and for ourselves we can uot see who is to decide the point in question, Tlie Honorable .T. W. Denver. Washington, March 1st, 1857. We think it a duty we owe to the above named gentleman, to give publicity to the following account of his action in Congress:— Editor of the San Fii.iNCt.sco Herald :—It may be proper in this place to give you a brief review of Gen. Denver's course in Congress. Immediately on his arrival here, he applied himself to expose the Limantour fraud, and after several conferences with tlie Secretaries ofthe Treasury, War, and Interior, and the Attorney General, prevailed on them to send an agent to the city of Mexico for the necessary evidence. Col. Inge arrived just at the time, and was at ouce appointed ou that mission. The result is wel! known to the public. In opposing the bill of Mr. Herbert for the issuing o: patents, lie acted on the belief that such a measure, if carried iuto operation, would entail litigation aud untold misery and injustice upon the people of the State. He approached the questions with great reluctance, well kuowing that it was one of those questions, which, no matter how settled, must operate hardly on some portion of the community. Entertaining this view ofthe matter, it was not uutil after along and thorough, investigation ofthe legal points involved lhat he assumed a position which was approved alike by his convictions of right, and justice, and duty to the great mass of the people. That position once assumed, he fortified himself iu such u manner as to carry with him a large majority of the House cl Representatives, notwithstanding the measure was ably advocated by Mr H. Marshall of Kentucky, one of the best law:yers, aud one of the most influential members ol th' House. The defeat of this measure forced the settlement of the land claims by the Attorney General, in accordance with existing laws, and thus while au oppor tuuity was given to expose frauds, and enable the courts to pass on unsettled questions, it at the same time gives the successful claimants a perlect title to their lands. Had the bill passed it would have involved the parties in endless litigation, aud in all probability have involved the United States in an effort to sustain the patents thus issued. His investigations ot (his subject, led him to examine the Spanish and Mexican Jaws under which the grants of land were made, by which he ascertained that in alt these crses the minerals were reserved, and that they were attached to, and were a part of the perogatives of tho sovereignty which could not be alienated. In our State the sovereignty being in the people, it follows that until the people shall place restrictions on the working of the mines, they are free to be worked hy all alike. If Mr. D.'s labors during his term of service in Congress had resulted in nothing else, his elucidation of this all-important subject ought to entitle him to the commendation of his constituents ; for through his efforts alone the greedy speculator has been foiled in his attempt to grasp the minerals and prevent the free working of ih mines. His earnest efforts to obtain the passag' of a bill tor a Railroad to the Pacific, is well known to all the members of the present Congress and his failure can only be attributed to the sectional prejudices wliich havo unhappily too much controlled the action of the House. All admitted ihe force of his views, and the perfect fairness of his propositions ; but an improper desire on the part of others to give the advantage of the measure to the North or to the South, was the cause of the most disastrous results. The wagon road had at the first been committed to the charge of Mr, Herbert; but the unfortunate difficulties in which he became involved, deprived him of tlie power of doing anything iu the House. In consequence, thisimportant measure also devolved upon Mr. D. Two bills passed the Senate for military roads,—one from Missouri to California, by way of Salt Lake, the other from El Paso to Fort Yuma >1 of the Secretary lonoihihly opposed eotion, and accord- •itoriea prepsired a t the South Pass of linating at iheeast- tUfornia, placing it ary ofthe Interior, opposition to this nterviews with the ng them to —both placed under tlie cor of War. The House was ir to having them take such a ingly the Committee on T bill foT a road lo commence the Rocky Mountains, and b em boundary of the State of under the control ofthe $«0 By a resolute and detcrmii project, and after nunicrou: committee, Mr. D. succeeded i commence the road at Fort Kearney, on the Platte river, wliicli effected all that was asked for by the people Of the State In their great memorial of last session, sent on by Drs. Hitchcock and Hill. This result once obtained, it was not difficult to get tho appropriation for the southern route included in the same bill ; and thu delegate from New Mexico al.-io succeeded in yelling au appropriation in the same bill for a COad trom Fort Defiance to the "Mohave. This last road will afford an outlet for the surplus stock of New Mexico, and which is so much needed in California. He being a member of the Committee on Military Affairs, took a very active part in tne measure which increases the pay of the officers of the army. These are tlie most important-measures to which Mr, D. has turned his attention ; with various other matters of public interest, such as the establishment of post offices and post routes, appropriations tor various public affairs, fortifications, Indian affairs, land surveys, navy yard, etc. M, -^ •♦<►• »-, —— The Whitman Impeachment Case* The impeachment of Ool. Whitman, State Controller, is progressing before the Senate. It is considered doubtful that he will be found guilty. It is supposed that his nou-eompliancc with the law was not with criminal intentions. The Whitman impeachment trial is still progressing. E. A. Howe was brought up in charge ol a deputy sheriff: He is undergoing a very critical examination. The counsel for Whitman demur at almost every question put to iiowe. If the trial was allowed to proceed as the Board of Managers desired—interrogating some of tne oonn- ty treasurers, H. A. Kowe. and others, we should learn a state of affairs—in substituting Controller's warrants for cash, and speculating with the State funds-—wliich is very little dreamed of. Judge Hall of El Dorado examines all the witnesses on the part of the State, and he has won for himself no little credit by the manner in which tie has conducted the prosecution. Tiie Impeachment Case.—The Sacramento Union says :—" At the rate the Senate is progressing with the impeachment case, it will take that body till near the fourth of July to get through the trial. Ho far, only one witness a day has beeu examined. This ia making very plow progress. The Case of Rowe.—An order was introduced into the Assembly and adopted, compelling the Speaker to certify to the District Attorney of Sacramento the facts in regard to Rowe's refusal to answer certain questions put to hiin concerning the missing $124,000, to as to bring the matter before the Grand Jury and have au indictment lound against him, under the Act to compel witnesses to disclose testimony, which passed both" houses of the Legislature about a fortnight ago Tub Bond of mo State Tkeasjukek,—A suit was commenced in the District Court ou Friday, says the Sacramento State Journal, by Frank Hereford, District Attorney, in the name of the People of the State of California v. Henry Bates, John M. Rhodes, Samuel Norris, George 0. Perry, Gilbert Griswold and P. L. Edwards. The suit is brought upou the official bond given by Henry Bates, as State Treasurer, for the payment of which the above-named parties are jointly and severally bound. Tho papers tiled show that, during the time Dr. Bates held office, he received fiom ihe State the sum of $l,604r650 18, from which haa been disbursed the sum of $1,182,733 41, leaving a balance of S,i21,8i7 07 unexpended. This sum he has failed to pay over to hie successoi j with the exception of $75,908 25. This renders Dr. Bates defaulter to the amount of $245,f)u9 82, and this turn is demanded from the signers of the bond. Later from Muxlco. We take the following from the S. F. Herald: By the arrival of the Johu L. Stephens we have dates from the city of Mexico. The Latk Tkeatt.—The rumors circulated here a few weeks ago, to the effect that by tlie treaty concluded by our Minister with tlie Mexican Government, Sonora, Lower California, and part of Chihuahua were to be mortgaged to the United States, appear to have no foundation in fact. The Extraordinary, of the 4th of March, commenting en this rumor says : '* There is not a word of truth in the report^ that, by the pending arrangements with the United States, a foot of the national territory has been alienated or even mortgaged] that the church property is uot nicntiouea or even concerned in either of the treaties that have been agreed upon, aud there is nothing like a treaty of alliance iu the programme." And it adds, that all that is desireu by eitherGovLrnmeuI.or sought uy the treaty, ie to strengthen tim ties ot friendship and good neighborhood between the two Republics, to promote their commercial intercourse, to imorovc the iacilitiesolcommunication between ttieui, and to perform those mutual offices of good will which belong io their geographical position aud to tlieir community ol political institutions. Geneual BE.-v>X'Ain\E.—The Eslundurte. says that General Biancarte SLOuld arrive iu this city today. We wait to see whether he la to be made a '• patriot hero, ' or remain, as he has so Uten been dubbed, a " traitor." James Watson was drowuedat Townseud's dam. near Muletown, in the latter part oI fast monili. He was twenty-nine years of age, and forjn«*y trom Boston, Massachusetts. A man named Joseph Lester, residing near Auburn, shot his wile aud aiierwards destroyed himself because of some matrimonial difficulty. Tlie Trinity mountain trail from Shasta to Yreka is improved to such au extent that tbe passenger train makes its regular trips between the two places in three days. '
