CALIFORNIA. (From the Sydney Morning Herald, Dec., 10.)

We have received Shn Fiancisco journals to the 20th October ultimo. r Jho news is unimpoi tant. The mining opeiations appear to be pursued with the greatest tuccobs; but accounts of murders and outrages of evpiy description, with their consequent lynching, still occupy considerable space m the ]ouinals before us. A a earnest, and seemingly dl-dnected, movement hid been been set on foot at Monterey for the puipobo of ell'ootisiq ii division of the State of Ci lifoniia and fbiining a Territorial Government, to include the counties south of tho TViy of San Francisco. Santa Cxuz, Los. Angeles, San Lms, Obispo, Stockton, and San Diogo, had joined in (his movement, and appointed delegates to confer at a yie.it Southern Convention. An early action in the matter was expected in the Legislature. Dr. Wozoncjoft, the United Slates Commissioner for regulating tieatiPS with the vauous tubes of Indians living within the district comraoncin j South of the San Joaqum rivei, and teiminating north on tho Sacramento embracing 1 a scope of country extending- from the eastel n side of the coast 1 ange to the eastern Imp of tho state boundiiy; had published the josult of his labours The document is lcgdidcd as a lucid and siti^faclory one; and h is to bo hoped that the benevolent efforts of (he comnns&inner will tend to restore peace and secumy in those lcrnote legions, and establish fncndly jelations between the white men and the Indians. Tho people of California heoin at last to see, that iv place ol butchering this peisecuted race, it is their mteiest to obsfive the slipula'ions of the ticilies, and respect the riohts of the Indians to their reservations. For tho sake of humanit)', it is to he hoped that the Califonuan^ will avoid any acts calculated to lead to a possible lecnrrence of tho deplorable Indian hostilities, fiom which the state bas aheady "sufl'eied so severely. The question as to the means of liquidating tho debts of tho State was, &fill under anxious discuwon. With ft population of scaicely 200,000 souls, she Ins managed in tho short space of t^vo years to incur a debt of two null ion dollars. " Wbpt has caused this state of things? 1' is the question put by those who me deeply intoiestoJni its solution. The following seems to be the answer given by most thinking men in the State. " Loose and unequal lav.s ; inesponsible and unfaithful officei s; heavy taxes, and the interfeience of landmongers, Mock jobbers, and speculator; and la*t and worst ol all, lash and ignownt politicans and legislators."
