When | arrived in this place, after an absence of about five months, and within two months direstly after the two great conflagrations which visited it, 1 made up my mind conclusively, and so expressed myself, that San Francisco had been irredeemably destroyed. Since that time, however, a change has come over my ideas and opinions, for on walk- ing our streets in every direction of the burnt dis- trict, it is almost next to an impossibility to point out directly where the great destruction was. The city has again been rebuilt, and stands forth to the whole known world, as one of the proudest exem- plifications of the forever enduring energy, perse- verance, and industry of the American pecple. Sas Francisco, although twice burnt over in as many months, rises, Phoenix-like, from the aches, and is Sun Francisco still. On all sides we behold magnificent edifices, rising like magic, yet, with every security that can possibly be obtained; warehouses, stores, banks, hotels, theatres, and restaurants are being built, and have been built of brick, stone, and granite, some at immense cost; fire-prooi raults have alzo been cons:ructed of great tize and security, and so erected that the most in- tense beat cannot injure inthe least that which ix contained in them; and! thin the same degree of assurance, that no such confla- gration as has visited us: can do so any more, for we are now prepared for almost any emergency as yards it. BS, connection with this subject, | would say that there has been one great mistake committed by your merchants in New York and cleewhere, in suppoving that the fires with which we have beea visited bad #0 entirely destroyed the stock of mer- ebandue on hand, as to render it absolutely neces- vary to ship immediately on receipt of the news; there never was a more fatal mistake made com- mercially, and, from what it has arisen | am eure [ cannot say, for | can assure you, from actus! knowledge, that there is now on hand, and, with what is adyon the way, a sufficient quantity of goods of all descriptions to last country from one to two years; I'dosincerely advise merchants im the States to cease shipping anything for at least nine months.

During the sitti of the convention, the members of it received the utmort courtesy and attention from all parties. They will publish an address shortly to the people of the State, which, there is no doubt, will be pro- ductive of immense benetit. The tite for the new Custom House here is settled upon; it is to located on cepne bounded by Pa- cifie, Sanseme, Broadway ai were heap trea decidedly the very best spot in the whole city to lo- cate upon, and argues well for the sagacity of those who have the matter in hand.

I understand that i; will be built of brick ; when fin- ished it will be perfectly convenient to every inter- est in the city, and to none more gp than the ship- ping, as it will be situated but about 100 feot from the water. Gallegber, who, on the 22d day of last June, murdered a young man named Pollock, in @ disre- | putable house in Merchant atreet, was tried this | week for the same, and although the proof that the murder wes cool and premeditated was apparent, the jury could not agree, and were discharged, and Gallagher is to stand anotber trial in about two | weeks, which he will be very well able to do, as every witness then who would have appeared against him will be out of the way. | The steamship Columbia arrived yesterday from Oregon, with the mails and passengers, which leave in the steamer of today. ‘ihe Columbiain her last trip up made it in seventy hours, and came down in eeventy-two. Considerable excitement has been engendered in consequence of the discovery and settling of a place called Port Orford, on the Oregon coast. It is said to be the very best harbor from bere to Astori: Many have left this city to settle there. It is situated bat cighty miles from the great mines of Rogue’s river and Spartacounty. It will undoubtedly become a place of some im- portance. The Oregon Spectator alludes to the arrival of Monsieur Kives, the oldest inbabitant of Oregon, having come to that country 1905, and is the oldest man there but ore, being in his ninety-third year, and enjoys perfect healt ‘The members of the Editorial Convention each contributed towards the construction of the Wash- ington Monument. The book for subse: in this city is in charge of Thomas ©’ Larkin, Esq. The ce: ater which Mr. L. brought with him from the States, to give to those who subseribed, were entirely destroyed at the late fire of June 22. A magnificent fiag has been presented to the Vi lance Committee by the ladies of Trinity Parish, (Rev. Dr. Mines) as an approval from them of the courre pursued by the committee. On one side, the mer has the following inscription :— The Vigilance Committee cisco—lostituted June 8, 1851. lives and property of the citi city of Sen Francirco’’—Constitution, article 1, And on the reverse— to the viene Committee of the City of San Francisco, by the Ladies of Trinity Parish, as a tes- timonial of their approbation: “ Do right, and fear not.” —— 9, 1861. round the inscription is emblazoned a gorgeous border of oak, olive and fig leaves, emblematic of strength, peace and plenty; and the banner is ieee on with the arms of the United ates, and other appropriate designs. At last, the Bloomer costume, or Camillas, have gone out in our enlightened woe yt and not one can find the epot where once they bloomed.

Mr. K. will undoubtedly be elected to the United States Senate by the coming Legisla- ture, for there is no man of the whigs so deservedly popular. Two other candidates, however, have presented themselvs, namely, Gon. James Wilson, of New Hampshire, and J. K. Irving, a lawyer, of this place. As far asthe Presidency is concerned, nothing definite has yet been mooted; everything, however, points towards the great expounder of the consti- tution. Gen. Scott is also mentioned, and Clay is still clung to by thousands.

Execution of Thompson, Robinson and Hamilton, at Sacramento City—The Case of McKenzie and Whittaker The Ship Flying Cloud--The Rainy Season—The Great Demand for the New York Herald—The Jenny Lind Theatre. There is nothing very important or interesting to write about. Ourcountry, like a child subject to fits, has, within the past two weeks, gone through with one of its periodical convulsions. The news- papers of the day give such copious accounts in relation there‘o, it will only be necessary for me to give the occurrences which have transpired « pass- ing notice. On the 22d of August, in conformity with the sentence passed upon them by the law, Thompson, Robinson and Hamilton were hanged in Sacra- mento, for highway robbery. On the morning of the execution, Robinson was reprieved by the Go. vernor, McDougal, notwithstanding which, the po- pulace took the prisoner and executed him. On the Tuesday previous to the above, (which took plave on Friday,) the Governor, with his aids, went in the middle of the night, and rescued, without opposition, the two prisoners, Whittaker and McKenzie, who were placed in the custody of the Vigilance Committee. This caused a tremendous excitement, but on acceunt of the forbearance of the committee, under the circumstances, quiet was restored, and everything was thought to beat rest, until Sunday morning, the 2ith inst, when a portion of the members of the Vigilance Com- mittee broke into the county jail, took the prisoners, drove them down in a e to the committee rooms, and in seventeen minutes from the time the men were first taken from the jail, they were hanging in front of the committee rooms on Battery street, in the presence of twenty thousend people, ali of whom ay ved of the act. It was a terrible occurrence, I do not believe that anything of the kind has ever occured before, op Sunday et any rate, in the United States. De- n is < spite the horrors whieh are always attendant uj scene where a human being in the prime of |i to be deprived of it violently, yet 1 cannot use but one word in connection with that of Sunday; it was majestic—twenty thousand ple assembled in one concourte, uniting with one voice and mind in their approval of the course pursued by a of their fellow citizens, in meting out justice to those whose career of crime deserved it. Whittaker and McKenzie died the deaths which a long course of crime and infamy sbould have entitled them to years but not until the strong will of the people demanded it did they receive it. When the two men came in full view of the assembled thousande, just after having been laurched from the sills of the window, a mest tremendous shout of or and grati- fication went up from the multitude, and cheer upon cheer rent the air for the Vigilance Committee and Sacramento. Eight hundred and thirty-nine members of the former were present on duty at the execution, summoned in abou: three minutes by the toll of the bell. Business was almost entirely stopped, owing to the above affair, but since then different depart- ments of trade are visibly and steadily improving. | | Provided no more shipments are made for a year, we may expect to do something.

To the accomplishment of this object, it is necos- that a united action be had by the advocates of measure, and that a full and candid state- ment of the many grievances we suffer, bo sot forth, that the people at the North may see the justaess of our request for # division, and that we are im- by necessity to this movement.

It is im- possible for us to tell, or even conjecture, in what way the fire originated. An attempt was made toget her upon tie shosis at Navy Bay. with the view of saving ber machinery. The steamboat Gorgona had her in tow, but she burned to tae water’s edge, and sank in fourteen or fifteen fathoms water, before arriving there All succeeded in escaping from her, excepting one man, James MeDonald, who served in the capacity of a coal parser, Great credit is due to Dr. P Gould of Chagres, for his extreme kindvess and attention to the sufferere. by furnishing nage and, in fact everything Beceseary to our comfort. ‘e also owe much to the citizens of Uhagres, ter their kindness in furnisuing boats and exerting themselves in our behalf We are under reat obligail ms to the propristors of the Irving House, fir, W.

Information has just reached here that the gold train of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company was robbed to-day, about seven miles from this city. The train consisted of between seventy and eighty mules, as near as I can lewrn, carrying about two millions of dollars in specie and gold dust. Report states that two men, natives, probably muleteers, were killed. Seven mules have returned to the city, which went with the train, without their packs. Great excitement exists among our citizens; anda large armed force of Americans, together with some fifty or sixty National Guards, have started out in pursuit of the robbers. When found, if found, “‘make a note of it.” They will be dealt with, at discretion. The amount supposed to have been taken is reckoned at two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. It will be utterly impossible for for the 1:obbers to get away with their ill-gotten bocty, as every avenue of escape will be closed up and narrowly watched The wealthy thoure cf Moequers, Huntado & Co. have the contract for transporting all the Pacific Mail Company’s trea- sure across the Isthmus, and contract in- cludes insurance, so that, as they are abundantly aut, no loss will accrue to the company or to the 8 rs. e mail is Soran sone queens, am unable to giv ze apy further particulars now; should a despatch bag leave after the mail, and anything “the time is past.” ‘Ve have an unlimited confi- dence in our administration, who profess and en- courage such liberal opinions.

Early this morning, soon after the American ship Corsair, from Boston, bond to Caldara, with rail- road materials, came to anchor in this port, there occurred a serious mutiny on board, five or six of ‘the crew resisting the autaority of the captain, and refused to obey his .:ders or do any duty.
