The steamship United States, Captain Berry, ar rived yesterday, bringing tho details of two weeks’ news from California. The United States left As pinwall, on the 23d Sept , and arrived at Kingston onthe 25th, and sailed from thence next day. The hoslth of Aspinwall, as well as of the Isth- mus, was very good, and there was no case of cho- Jera at Aspinwall or Panama. The mail steamship Ohio left Kingston twenty- nine hours before the U.S , and Aspinwal forty- eight hours previous. The following persons died on board the United Btates :-- W. B. Sweetzer, of Philadelphia, aged 36, Daniel Wormwood, of Middlesex. Vt., aged 5 Jobn Scevenger Martin, aged about 36, of Ireland. BE, Harrison, of Now Haven. Conn,, aged 35 Joba Thomas, Summit Hiil, Carbon county, Pa., aged 85. Tho above died from exhaustion and fever from walking scross the Isthmus. Steamship Cortes arrived at Panama, in 63 days from New York, (stcaming 49 days,) being decided- ly the shortest passage ever mado between these ports. The steamer Winficld Scott arrived at Panama Sept. 19. Tho passengers by the United States, for San Francisco, went up on the Cortes, which ship loft Panama on the 21st. The mail steamship Unicorn arrived at San Fran- <igco on the 31st of August Our thanks are due to Mr. Barnoy, purser of the United States, Mr. Vanderlip, Messrs. Adams & Co., Gregory & Co., and Berford & Co , fordate papers. Wo refer our readers to the cards of the passen- gers of the United States, out and home, relative to the officers of that steamer.

Tho Alleghanians are making a succossful tour through the northern mines, and were soon expected in San Francisco. The performances of Mrs. Stark aro very highly spoken of by all the San Francisco papers. The Jast concert of Signora Biscaccianti was given in Stockton on the Ist September. The lady i: enjoying her usual brilliant success. Tho family ef Gov. M’Dougal left San Francisc? September 15th, in the steamship California. The Califernia Express says that within th> yast six months, the number of families in Marysville has increased two hundred per cent. A man named James Doan, formerly a resident of North Bend, Indiana, was murdered near Leek Springs, on the 23d August. A few onses of cholera had been reported at San Francisco, but the last accounts say that it had entirely disappeared. The cholera was also said to be in Sacramento; but a few cases only had occurred. Three beautiful marble slabs are now being pre- pared fiom the Ringgold quarries, for the National Washington monument. They are to be four feet in length and two feet in width. They are to be of different colors, and one has a very correct represen’ gation of the Sierra Nevada mountains ingrained upon its surface in natural colors.

It is said the Tn 3 of Cali- fornia entertain the most bitter host towards the Colestials, whom they regard as their inferiors, and trespassers on their dominions. Negotiations are going on in San Francisco to employ Chinese laborers in that city, and take them to the interior to perform the labor of carrying out an extensive canal project in the northere mines. to work for thirty dollars per month Itis the belief that three Chinamon ean perform ss much hard Inbor, per day, as two whiten o. This class of labor, it is said, is now y employed in building canals and other seary lor the developement of our mine. ces In the valleys of the Sa mento, San Joaquin, and tibutury rivers, there considerable amouns of sickre stly fevers of the season. In the mining lo: os of the base of the hills, diarrhcoa and dysontery is carrying off large nambers, while further up, in the mountains, the places are perfect- ly healthy. The Shasta Couriey says that a very destr fire has oceurred at Yreka. ‘The "entire loss i tated at $50,000. Major Roman, State Treasurer, announces the redemption, forthwith, of a portion of the three per cent bonds of the State, (o the amount of twenty- five or thirty thousand dollars, and that he will con. tinue to redeem further as fast as money is received into the general fund. Some of the journals in San Francisco have been reduced to one quarter of their usual size, in conse- quence of the small stock of printing p.per in Cali- nin. David Humphreys committed suicide at Robb’s Exchange, in Sacramento, on the 27th of August. He was from Chicago, and leaves a family thore The jugular vein in his throat was completely severed. Overland emigrants continue to arrive in Cali- fornia i great numbers. It is thought the great body of the omigration will not reach Carson Valley before September. The cholera, or a disease like it, has appeared among them. Major Campbell, of Missouri, who was on the road with his frmily, and 2,500 head of cattle, died on the Tumboldt’; alvo, one of his daughters, and eight of the men employed by him in driving his stock. A Sarge numly ti- Ise, havin Attia a ——.--——— yond Salt Lake, started on foot from that Sacramento oity. It is further stated that many dcaths had occurred among the emigrants, and nd great distress prevails along the trail botween Salt Lake and the sink of Mary’s river Peter Smith committed suicide at the Spanish diggings, near Downioville, on the 25th of August, by cutt pg bis throat. Age about 50; cause, pecu- Diary embarrassments. An inquest was held by the coroner, on the 28th August, at the Mansien House, Pacific wharf, San Francisco, on the body of Philip W. Puallisu, of pposed, he left about the first of February, 1950, aa appears from papers in his possession. On the 26th of August, on board the olipper ship Rebert C. Winthrop, an inquest was hold on the body of James Tent, aged about 40 years. ‘The do- ccased was from Boston. Verdiot, died of apoplexy. The steamer Winfeld Soott waa seized onthe 31st of August, upon a libel filed against her by the United States District Attorney, for oarrying an ox- cere of passengers over the pumber allowed by the act of Congress for her admoasuremont, on her trips between San Francisco and Panama. Bonds wore given for ber release, to the amount of $87,406, within an hour’s time after the seizura. * Mr. Jonathan C. Whitehouse, formorly of Maino, was found dead on the 27th of August, two milos from Dry Town. Great oxcitoment existe on account of the outrage. F An inguest was held at Shasta on the Lith inst., upon the body of Samuel B Daggett, whe came to his death by being stabbed by a man named MoMa- hon. The deceased was aged 38, and from Maine, where he leaves a family. The Stockton Jownal says, thata man named Peter Stout was murdered My another by the namo of J. W. Marsh It seams that Marsh owed Stout feur dollars. Stout demanded the money, and Marsh stated that so soon ashe could raiso it he would pay him. Stout threatened to kill Marsh, and in the scuffle Mursh stabbed Stout. The miners justify Marsh, Stout having been a vory bad man. Our San Fravciseo Correspondence. Ban l'eancisco, Sept. 1, 1852. Loss of the Steamer Pioneer—Death of Major Sav age—Great Indian Council—Prize Fight for $2,000 — Queer Condition of California— Markets, Se. $e. Two steamers will leave here this morning for Pavama—the California, of the Pacific Mail Steam- ship Company’s line, and the Winfield Scott, of tho Now York and San Francisco line. They run in op- position to eash other, aad are taking passengers at much below the usual rates. Steerage passengers aro being taken for $45 through to New York, aud I am informed that cabin passages have beon given for as low as $150. The travelling public are be ginning to experience some of tho benefits of compe- tition on this route, and the appearance of every w steamer in our waters is hailed with delight. Iregret to infotm you of tho beaching, and proba, bly total lozs, of the steamer Pioneer, of the Van- Gerbilt line, on her trip from Panama to this port According to the captain's report, she dragge(l her anchors upon the reef in the bay ¢f Talcahuano ia a gale of wind, ard received so much damage as to cause her to leak badly. The leak had increased to such an extent as to require her engines to be worked to use the pumps in port to keep her free, in addition toa set of pumps of large capacity on deck, ond a Worthington pump, worked by a sail engine, independent of the other machinery. On the night ofthe 15th of Aug. encountered a northwest gale of d and heavy head sea, which caused the leak to inereage so badly as to render it necessary, tor the safety of those on board, to run the ship into some place of shelter, where passengers could bo Janded without risk. She was accordingly run into i St Simoua’ bay, on the evening of the T6th, and at , 3A M., on the I7th, tho water having gained | so as to reach her fires in the furnaces, she was run ashore to prevent her sinking. She soon filled, al- though her pumps were kept continually going, Messengers to intercept steamers were despatched -to San Luis Obispo; but the Sea Bird pas, a contract was made with her owner, Captain Wright, who was on board, to take a load of hor passengers, with tho intention ofhaviog her return immediately for the balance. The Pioneer's passage hes been lengthened by breakege of machinery and getting short of coal, having performed the voyage in a crippled condition, with but one whole flange to her propeller, the other two being broken. She got out of coal on account of diserepancy in the account of the amount parchased and amount consumed of over 200 tons The latest news from the Pioncer renders it probable she will bea total loss Tho tend bas worked from under her, and, noar the con- tre, she now rests upon solid rocks, with several feet of water in tho hold [She is insured in Wail street for $250,000 —Ep. Hgraup | I of the engers revcbed here in safety. Aa soon as intelligence was received in San Francisco of the beaching of the Pionecr, Mr. J P. Maven, the energetic agent of the underwritera, despatched a steamer for the ; urpose of towing her off, and, if | possible, bringing her to this port. All efforts w Lowever, in vain. She remains where she strack, and will bea total loss, ler machinery may po: bly be eaved : =e You wil! receive the details of the killing of Major ze. by this mail, Every one who has boen’in | Calijornia knows who the Major was. Le wasa | man who had lived for a number of she Indians, in the St. Joaquin county ired so much inflaeneo over them th @ as chief and ruler of all the tribes in | ion. They looked upon ‘him as more than i nd his slightest command was obeyed with The power bo acquired over the savages | eed for their good as well aa for that of the | whites. He kept the two races at peace, aud but | he wag tovhom we would have had before this au indian war in the Southern part of the State Now thet | re, fears are entertained that it willbe | ‘ to’ prevent hostilities from brexking | out, our Southern country — fro being overrun by the numerous tribes which aro seuttered over it. Major Savage was on his way to attend agrand Indian council, when he was killed while on tho road. Ata point called Coa- verse’s Jerry, he met a Judge Mar Tire tvo sons travelled on together, and met» Captain y. at Campbell's ferry, on King’s river, breakfast, Major Savage asked Harvey to recall certain charges to the effect that ‘he was “no geutieman.” Tfarvey refused to retr. vege then knocked Harvey d Harvey then drew bis pistol, three times, killing him instantly Ne ge Marvin, who was a personal friend of bob , did his utmost to them during th «ss of the difieulty, and tried to disarm the was buried on the 16th inst., and some 5 or forty Indians, armed with bows and arrows, .d his faneral The grand council which Major Savage was on < way o attend, was held on the 20ch of August, lc wus convered for the purpose of agreving upon a | policy to be pursued hy the Indian tribes towards wh A large military foree of the United s was present, and Lam happy in being able | soy that the council broke up with a determi- t to go to war with the whites Whether once of the soldiers had any inflaenee on ion or not, it ia diffieult to say, but cor- *, the Indians were appalled at the firing of some mountain howitzers, which the military cmmander of this division had despatched there cy the purpove of showing tho Indians what kind of v would be used against them incase they red into hostilities with the whites ais progressing rapidly in ail the ways i ion Thompesh, the Champion of Cal- | raja, and Morriesy, another celebrated bruiser, he a prize battle for $2000 @ side, a few da: since, en Mare Island, opposite Vallejo, a few miles trem the city, The reason they resorted to that | place. was, that by some mismanagement, that | island isnot included within the limits of any county in the State, and consequently thore was no danger of interruption Ms the civil authorities In tho eleventh round, Thompson delivered a ‘* foul” blow, and the battle was awarded in favor of Morrissy. It ig estimated that $75,000 changed hands on the oceasion Tho friends of the combatants wagered, in many instances, a!! they wore worth in the world— their money, their houses, their land, their cattle, and, in come cages, the very conts on their backs, and, of course, lost all they had. The decision of the referees docs not give satisfaction, and it is said that another get-to will take place between the parties for $5,000 a side. California, your readers will perceive, is progrossing rapidiy towards a high orcer of civilization. A 7 Tho newspapers here aro in a terrible condition for want of paper. There is none of aoy kind and > } which have er are forced to reduce their ‘dimensions to those of foolecap, or suspend publishing altogether. Never we lene pgp 4 Toy a predicament, and never were newspe: an tors put to their wits ond so Buch as those of Galifornig ‘new are. It is understoed that upwards of a thousand reams are overdue at this port, and that several thousand moro are on their way; butit is poor consolation to say, “live horse, and you will get ” , The immigration, by the may of tho plains, is ar- riving ray . As ® general thing, there has been but little sufforing among the imi ite, and they and their stock are in goed spirits. Most of thom sre from the Western States, and as soon as they ar- rive they soleot farming lands There is but little political excitement in this Stato The party newspapers have the fum all to themselvos, and, as usual, abuse each other’s can- didates in handeome style. We are 80 far romoved from the old States, that the people generally take little or no intereat in politica, and I scarce think there are s dozen merchanta in San Francisco whe caro to tho vuluo of @ barrel of floor who is our noxt Prosidont, Scott or Pierce. By the way, talking of four, minds me of the tromondous price at which that im- portent artiolo now roles in this market. It isheld at $30.0 barrel, and it is expected that it will roach $40 bo‘ore any large supplics aro received 12 market of California is a perfect anomaly. Th cither @ tuperabundance or a positive dearth of every commodity, of necessity or aniy Tho city of San Francisco is advancing at a rate that ie without a parallel in tho histor; of tho world. Tho oldest inhabitant even is ‘astonished. Massive fire-proof brick stores are going up in every diros- tion—some with granite fronts, imported from China, and some with brown freo stono from the old States. ‘These buildings readily bring a rent of from two to threo thousand dollarsa month, and are let at these figurcs as soon as the foundation is laid, Real es- tate is advancing in value at a rate boyond all pro- cedent. Money ls worth from two to three per cent. amo th, and acarce at that, and it is ina immense businoss will be done in the faff. ae all this will ond, no one can predict. Shrewd mon eboke their headsand say there must be agrand ex- plovice one of these days, but they have Bay- 1 80 for two years past, and no one believes thom. ie unnatural condition of things, howevor, cannot eat. Our citizens are loudly calling on government for additiona}) mail facilities. It is really too bad that wo should have but two mails a month from the At- lantio States. Wewant one at least every weok, and we musthave it. Projects aro on foot for es- tablishing a now line of steamers, and if Congross will listen to the applications of ourcitizons, and ac- cede to the Fouuees which has been mado to thom— to grant another contract for carrying the mails— the decd will be accomplished. if the New York HERAp know the exact condition of things here, it would ply Congress in its old fashioned sledgoham- mer style, until we got what we absolutely require in this reepect’ Mr. Maynard, of this city, is now in the Atlantic States, endeavoring to procure tacee additional mail facilities for us; and itis to be hoped he will be successful in his miseion. Ho and othor entorprizing capitalists bere are ready to put on a line of stenmers immediately, if Congress will give thema contract for carrying the mail. The energy they exhibit in advancing the interests of this city and State, by erecting buildings which would bo a credit to any city in the world, is a guarantoo that thoy will accomplish the business satisfactorily to-all concerned, if they should have the privilege of Coing 20 Mining Intelligence. The Son Francisco Herald of Sept. 1st says From the immonse Shipmont of to-day, it will be eon that our mines etal hold out, and that there is bo danger of their being exhaus'ed for some time to come, if ever. In fact, fagen the accounts we dally receive ficm tho mining rogions, there is every rea- fon to Lelieve thot the gold deposits are so exten- sive that they will furnish employment to thousands of miners fora hundred years to come. In propor. tion to the increase of our mining population will be the increase cf the yield, and two years from this timo, if not :ooner, it is not at all uclikely the ship- ments from this port, hy each semi-wonthly steamer, wili be double what they vow are. ‘The minere of (cody car's, Suake and Cox’s Bare, are oil doing wel! and making money. A lomp of gold, weighing twenty five Ibe., worth from four to six thousand dollars, was taken from a Gaim in Dawnieville, on the 80th August.

We publish below ihe different rounds of the Veaotly ond disgraceful fight that oceurred at Mare Islnd on the diet of August, for the especial bene- fit of thore who admire such things :— Roun» Finer —On throwing themeelves into at titude, wh a8 the dandios say, “ix overything,’ there was a very creditable display of artistic skill en each side—jerhaps Thompson's position was slightly more graceful of the two. His opponen nevertheless proved that ho bad beon under skillfa! ond experienced tutelage.

Morrisecy backed his man rapidly around ring, and at the interchange of blows they clutobed and roped. Great confusion and loud ories from the friends of both parties. They soon got clear of the ropes, and in a rough grapple both went down—Thompson under. Rounp Sixtn —Morrisey in good heart and look- ing wicked. Thompson showing hard usage, and growing more cautious. Morrissey, fresh and in earnest, got in with his left on Thompson's smeller. Some quick hitting on both sides, Morrisey parrying handsomely; clinch and both down—Thompson under. Rownp Seventu —Morriscy gaining in confi- dence, and Jaughing good humoredly.

The time occupicd for the fight was sixteon min- utes from the commencement of tho first round. Miscellancous. Tux Steamer Bosron ~-This ill-fated steamer was burned on Thursday night at San Antonio. She was made fast at the wharf, and allon board wero asleep, when about midnight fire was discovered around the boilers, and the crow had barely time to escape with their lives, when she was enveloped in flames. The fastenings wero cut to save tho wharf, and after drifting about five yards, she grounded and burned to the water’sodge. Tho tido was ebb- ing at tho time, and completely covered the wreck on its return. Those on board assert that all fire had boen extinguirhed afew hours bofore. It is not known whether the accident was ‘owing to caroless- ness or to the malice of other partios. Tho Boston, it will bo remembered, was built from tho wreck of the Sagamore, which was blown up upon the evening of the Admission celebration in 1851.—San Francisco Whig, Sept. 1. Imvowrant Discoveries —We noticed, a fow days since, tho reception of a private letter from Lieut. Moore, who, with a small party, had pursued a band of marauding Indians from Camp Miller, on the I'reeno, to the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Since then, Licut. M. and his party beve returned, and fully confirm the statement wade in the letter that gold existed on that sido of the mountains, the party bringing with them some fice specimens. Thoy also found some very fertile coufitry on that side, well watered, and abounding in gome ef an unusually large size. Daring their trip they bad many skirmishes with the Iadians, fomeof whom—a tribo heretofore unknown— they took peers and brought in with them to camp It is highly probable that an exploring party will set out shortly for the regions visited by Lieut. Moore end his party, to make further search for gold.— San Francisco Whig, Sept. 1 SAcramrstToO VALLEY RAILnOAD.—A company bas been formed to construct a railroad from Sacra- mento cy to a point oa the Yuba tivor, ten miles above City ‘be necessary stock for crgunization, under the law, has beon sub- j serbed, the money paid into the treasury, and pa- pars files the office of the eretary of Stato Booka will b for subzeviption, and tho work iat); ~We took the paios some tw . anei-eo HAig, of Sept. uumbor of fire-prog p Ba eco.
