M., and arrived off | Kingston, at eight o’clock, on the evening of the | 4tb, but could not run in till the following morn- img. In consequence of the severity of the weather _ and the incessant rains, she was delayed in coaling until twelve o’clock, meridian, of the 7th, when she proceeded to sea. At five o'clock, A, M., on the 9th, passed the Sierra Nevada, bound for New York: | At half-past four o’clock, P. M., lost sight of her | astern. At halfpast twelve o’clock, A. M., on the 10th inst., Charles C. Clingman, of Chicago, Itlinois, died of inflammation of the bowels. | ‘The steamship Sierra Nevada, Capt. J. D. Wilson, | heas also arrived. She left Aspinwall Oct. 2,at 9 | o'clock P. M., and Kingston, Jam., at 9 A Thursday, Oct. 7th. The passengers by the a imtended for the Cortez, took passage on the Win- field Scott, which steamer was waiting at Panama. | ‘The health of Aspinwall and the Isthmusis great- ty improved. The roads are in good order, and pas- sengers that left Panama in the morning arrived at Aspinwall on the evening of the same day. The S. N. remained in port only 12 hours, and was detained at Kingston 40 hours by the most violent storm that han visited the island for many years. The news from Kingston is of no importance. Off Point Mo- vant saw the brig E. H. Plitner, of Philadelphia, for Kingston. Died, on the outward passage of the Sierra Neva- @e, Frances Maria Mitchell, aged 23 months, grand- @aughter of Col. Isaac Davis, formerly of Columbus, Ohio. She was buried at sea on the morning of the ‘Ath Sept. The passengers by the Golden Gate report that en the Ist inst., there were only two steamers at Panama, viz.: the Golden Gate and the Winfield Beott—the Cortez having left for San Francisco | of the lungs. ome eight or ten days previous. The steamer Pacific arrived at San Francisco on the 15th ult., with dates from New York to the 20th August, New Orleans to the 22d, and from England to the 8th, the quickest trip ever performed between the ports of New York and San Francisco, being but twenty-five days. Oar thanks are due to Mr. Wm. B. Calhoun, the mail agent of the Illinois, Mr. Edward H. Mitchell, the purser, Messrs. Berford & Co, Adams & Co.» Wells, Fargo & Co., and to Mr J. W. Sullivan, for the latest papers. Also, to the purser of the Sierra Nevada, for a similar favor. There was still a great want of printing paper im Ban Francisco. We have with this mail, papers of all colors and all shades, and some of the journal have pasted small pieces together in order to pre- serve 2 uniformity in the size of their papers. Mr. John Dunn, son of Judge Dunn, of Wisoon- sin, died at the Sink of the Hamboldt river, on the 20th ult., whether he had gone to meet an uncle on his way across the Plains. The mail steamer Columbia, Captain Dall, ar- rived at San Fransisco on the 11th uit., from Beni- cia, having on board 300 troops of the 3d U. 8. In- fantry. She left the next day for Oregon, for which place the troops are destined. The want of a good military force in that country has long been felt. ‘The crops mre coming on in fine style, and in varieus parts of the country flouring mills are being erected. A miner named Jenkins was robbed in San Francisco en the 1ith ult., of $4,000 in gold dust, the result of many a weary month’s labor in the mines. No clue had heen obtained of the robber or of the money.

Murders and Collisions in San Francisco— Poli» tice—Phe Death of Major Savage—The Indians | 497 entered into eo-part Teegraphs—Woman’s Rights, } mess, rinder the vtyle of White & iy Railroads and Se., Fe Nothing of very striking importance has occurred | here since I last wrote. The steamer (iolden Gate, | which leaves this morning, will as usual take a large shipment of gold dust, and a great number of pas- sengers, she being considered the safest, as she certainly is the fleetest and most beautiful, steamer on the Pasific. In my last letter, I stated that there was a perfect absence of crime here, and that in proportion to our population, there were fewer breaches of the | than in any other city inthe Union. I regret that the same desirable state of society has not con- | tinued. Since then, we have had two murders in | the very heart of the city, which were committed in broad daylight. In the one case, a Chilean woman | stabbed another woman to the heart, because she interrupted a {éte-a-tée in which she was engaged, by knocking at her door and asking admittance. The unfortunate victim paid for the intrusion with her life. The other case occurred on the 13th inst. A.| Mexican was perceived chasing a countryman of his | on the bill, back of Pleasant Valley. Both tripped up himeelf first, end overtook the other before he get on hie lege. While his enemy was on the ground, the | fiend eat and hacked him to death with an immense bowie knife. He inflicted at least a dozen mortal blows | on the prostrate man. After committing the dia- | beolical deed, the murderer ran off in the hope of escaping ; but despite of his brandishing his wea- pom, he was secured and safely lodged in prison. The two murderers will soon have their trials, and | it is expected that both will die en the gallows. There never bas been a legal execution in this city, but the general impression is that the two murderers, | male and female, now in jail, will mect with that punishment. Politics are a dul) subject here in California. In | the State election it is conceded that the demoorats will carry the State, and the whigs all the cities. | These is no doubt that the State is largely demo- | cratic, and will give a msjority of at least three thousand for Pierce and King. A man named James Taylor, who figured very conspicuously for a number of years on the southern frontier, was shot about ten days since in Stockton, while his boots were being blacked in the public street. He had had some difficulty with a man named Turner, to whom he said—whether in jest or earnest, is not known—that he would shoot him. Lest he should carry his threat into effect, Turner shot him dead. Your readers will recollect that when the army was in a tight place, at the breaking out of the war with Mexico, with all communication between Point Isabel and Fort Brown cut off, Gen. Taylor called for volunteers to carry despatches between the two points. Taylor was one of the three who volun. teered. He and Captain Walker (who was then » rivate in the Texan Rangers, under Col. Jack ays, but afterwards Captain of Walker's Rangers), and another whose name I forget, did great service _ bly return in about two weeks, to visit the country | | to Gen. Taylor on that occasion 0 Lhree different times they fought their way between these two places with despatches. He afterwards went through the whole Mexican war, first under Gen. Taylor, and afterwards under Gen. Soott. It is said he was avery brave and kind-hearted man, but somehow or other he could not keep out of broile, and has been known to kill several men in bar-room dis- putes. I have heard that he killed a man when ho was only eleven years of age, but it is due to his memory to say that he did so in self defence, and not until he had been fired at two or three times. I am not yet done with recounting scenes of blood. In consequence of a letter published in the Los An- gelos Star, x short time since, by Col. Russell, late editor of the Sacramento Union, reflecting on Gov- ernor Bigler.a brutal assault was made on the Colonel by Wm. A. Cornwall, who is well known ia the State of New York, and who is Governor Big- ler’s private secretary. Cornwall chose to take the remarks to himself, and arming himself with a bowie knife and a pistol, pro: whieh Col. Russell stop) od. On his arrival there, he saw Col. R. in the bar room, and calling upon him to defend himself, proceeded to the attack. Rus- sell was unarmed, and was, besides, extremely ill, having suffered fora long time from hemorrhage Before Cornwall was taken off, he wounded Russell severely in the back of the head, with his bowie-knife, and shot off his own great toe with his revolver. Thus we go in California. You heard, by the Jast mail, of the premature death of Major Savage, and, if I mistake not, IT stated that fears were entertained of a war with the Indians in that region. All danger is now over, and for a while longer, at all events, peace will be continued with the savage tribes. A very interesting letter has been received from a friend of Major Savage, in relation to the influence which the Major exerci ed over the Indiaus. The writer says :— He could do more to keep the Indians in subjection than all the forees that Uncle Sam could send here. | The Indians were terribly ¢xcited at hisdeata. Some of them reached the scene of the tragedy soon after it occurred. They threw themselves upon lis body. utter- ing the moet terrific cries, bathing their hands and faces in his blood, and even stooping and drinking it, ns it gushed from his wounds, It was with difficulty his re- mains could be interred. The Chiefs clung to his body, aud swore they would die with their father, The night he was buried, the Indians built large Gres, around which they danced, singing the while the mournfa! death chaunt, Until the hills aronnd rang with the souad. have never scen such profound munifestations of The young men as they whirled wildly aud disti around in the dance, shouted the name of their father th t was gone, while the squaws sat rocking their bodies to and fro. chaunting their mournful dirzes, until the very blood within one curdled with horror at the scene, T have not the slightest doubt that there wil bea general outbreak this winter. Just as soon as the rainy season sets in, we shall have the beginuing of one of the most protracted and expensive wars the people of Califor- nia have ever been engaged in. The Indians are quiet now, but are evidently contemplating some hostile move ment. They told me a few days since, that their “fathor” eeniee, and they would not five with the whites any jonger. Thave studied the character of these Indians, as you know, for more than two years, and experience in managing them under Savage himself. 1 do not speak lightly or unadvisedly, therefore, whon I as. sert that no more disastrous event could have oocurred to the interests of this State, than the marder of the gal- lant Major Savage. The Indians in the southern part of the State are quiet. A murder or a theft is occasionally commit- ted there, but there is no danger of any protracted difficulty between the two races. It is expected that a treaty will be entered into with the Yumas ina short time. They area large and powerful tribe, and for the sake of the overland immigration it is of the last importance to keepon terms of friendship with them. Books of subscription to the capital stock of the Sacramento Valley Railroad will be opened to day in this city. A large portion of the stock has been taken in the interior, and it is expected the balance will be contributed here at once. This road is te connect Sacramento with Marysville, and it must prove @ very profitable undertaking. The health of San I'rancisco continues very good. The cholera has nearly disappeared, but it is raging with great virulence in Sacramento. Twenty six deaths from this disease took place in that city last week. Sacramento has 2 population of about 5,000 eons. Ifthe very hot weather which we had on ‘riday and Saturday last had continued, the disease would, no doubt, soon have reappeared here. The mercury on those days reached as high a point as 102 degrees in the shade, a degree of heat never be. fore experienced in San Francisco. There is nothing new from the mines, but the shipments will not be increased for a month or six weeks yet. Then there will be abundance of water in the dry placers, andthe miners can work fall time. They are not more than half employed at present. The capital stock of telegraph ‘to connect this city with Sacramgnto, has been nearly all taken up, and in the last steamer, parties went to the Eastern States for the purpose of purchasing wire and the necessary working a By the time the main line is completed, there bo branches extending to and uniting with this city the towns of San Jose, Stockton, Maryavilie, Placerville, and Nevads.

At Salmon Falls, El Do- rado county, there has been considerable sickness | during the last ton days, and twenty or twenty-five persons have been suddenly swept away bya disease greatly resembling cholera, and pronounced such by some of the physicians of that place. Thero has | also been a number of cases of congestive and other fevers at Newcastle, Rosenkrans, and other precincts of Placer county, but few of these have terminated fatally. With these exce; tions we believe the gene- ral health of the mines is excellent.—Sacramento Union, Sept. 13. Srienpip Srecimens.—A splendid specimen of gold may now be seen in the office of Adams & ‘o., in this city. It weighs fall fifteen pounds, and was dug by B. F.

In fact, the old party war ories are here nearly obsolete, and the California pablic would heartily endorse almost any administration that would energetically and speedily provide for tho most pressing necessities of the State.

They elected from their number a Commodore, four Vice Commodores, Treasurers, Secretaries, Stewards, &c , and then voted, as they had no erew, that they would all have to pull and haul on the ropes together. One of the Vice Com- modores J know came acrogs the plains, and never saw in bis life any other salt water than the Bay of San Francisco. Tojudge from the appearance of the gentlemen’s eyes on their return, one would have thought they had been all masters and had been taking innumerable sights.

Stanton te Rogue river, the success of which is of great interest to the citizens in that region. Lieut. Williamson, who has been residing fifty miles back of Port Orford, was passenger on the Isthmus, on his way to tho States. He says that gold is plenty in that neighborhood. ‘The emigration to Oregon this year is very large, 186 wagons have passed the Gate on the other side of the mountain, and with thom 760 persons, of whom 160 were females, and 609 males. They had 1,000 head of cattle, and 400 head ef horses and mules. The health of the emigration was good. The Z'imes has heard of much actual suffering among the immigrants in the mountains.

The Polynesian, in summing up the news, remarks thus:— We have absclutely no news of & domestic nature to present our readers this week: the whole atmosphere of the island:—civil, politieal, and phyrical—seems to have hed the fever,” and to have become stagnant from in- anition. ‘The Legislature has adjourned, the Jrgus is dead, “suspicious characters’? are scarce, the business com. munity is but slowly recovermg its wonted vigor.

The Post Office is again open to and despatch the mails. A French ship, the Courrior des Tudies, has a visit to Honolulu. She was to leave onthe 14th ult. for Calcutta. The clipper ship Reindeer was to leave for Hong Kong the sameday. The Polynesian states that the epidemic which has prevailed in the islands is nearly identical with the Parama fever. It is much more mild, however, not having proved fatal in a single instance. It senfaly ran two or three days with severe pains, and debility for a week or ten days, accompanied by sixty or sixty-twe pounds’ loss of flesh.

The electiove which have engrossed public at- | tention lately to a great extent, have been decided ‘ in favor of Gen. Jose M. Obando, the candidate | of the democratic party, who has been olected by an overwhelming majority. He will take his seat in tho Presidential chair on the first day of April, | 1858, and it isto be hoped that that day will be the advent of along period of peace and tranquillity, The failure of the Flores expedition against the Equador, has been an extinguisher to the hopes of the party in opposition to the government, the only quarter from which any reaction was to be ox- pected. Congress closed its session last June ; among its most important acte, was that granting in perpotuity to the Panama Railroad Company tho island of Man- zanillo, upon which the city of Aspinwall is being built. In the way of priviloges, they have also | ranted to Meesrs. Fox, Henderson & Uo., of Lon- jon, the right of building a ship canal across the Isthmus of Darien, the privilege to run for the term of ninety nine years, but with the proviso, that the Pauama Teailroad Company give their coneent to it. Ifthe Panama company refuse their | consent, the privilege is null and void. By act of Congress, eteam vessels are allow gate the rivers of Now Granada, under their own respective national flags.

A correspondent at the mountains on the Rio Tor- riable, under date of S-pt. 22d, who left this city with Messrs. Doss & Sevuett, some two weeks since, writes us that since his arrival in that re; he bas invariably found gold in every pan of earth which he has washed. He states that the quantity of gold is small, but tbat it proceeds from surface washing. He confirms the report in regard to their construction of a shanty tor residence, and com- plains of the rains as oven severer than in this vici- nity. (Quartz rock, he assures us, abounds in every part of the route which he haa traversed. He says, that the only road waich could be travelled was, through the bed of the river. The water, he states to be very deep, and that the only obstacles to na- vigation are the falls. He declares the to be very plonty—the few natives in the neighborhood very hospitable. In fine, he and the whole party are evidently encouraged to remain for the present with fair expectations. We shall soon hear from him again. [From the Panama Star. Sept. 28.) THE CHEPO MINES.

He was a young man, a native of Washington, who came to Panama about three years ago, where he has resided since. Soon after his arrival in this country, he married a daughter of one of the most respected native citizens in the city, and had thus added to his numerous American acquain- | tanees, & large number of Spanish friends.
