It will goa great way towards reassuring the panie-stricken Wail street financiers, but at the came time we would advire them to curtai! as much as possible, for tho reason that in the nature ef things there must be for the future a considerable failing off-every year. We wiil before long produce almost everything that we necd, and 2 is scaneely probabie that we will continue to ship gold for nothing — The accounts from the mines continue very favorable, and whatever fears may be entertained on the Atlantic board of a decrease in the yield of the precious metal ia California, we on thie side are satisfied that they are pot only unfoonded, but that in realty we are producing more ‘old at present than ever before. The statement in the Naw York Hxraip that we were eix millions short of our exports jast year wants revision in ila facts, the correct account being as follows :— Export of treasure from San Francisco for first four months of 1850. $14,529,378 30 Same time in 1857,...... 14,480,054 78 Decrease in 1857.......++s0+e000+ + $19,823 52 Which is, of course, a mere begateile.

A gentleman who arrived at San Diego from Fort Yuma on the th of May, furnishes the Acrald of that place with the following particulars of the sad fate of the Crabbe ex- Ppedition, It will be seen that the main feature of the ac- count of the movements of the expeditionists in Sonora, furnished by oar correspondent at Fort Yuma, have been conilrmed:— The expedition into Sonora, under the command of H. A. Crabbe, bas had a most disastrous end, Late in March Craboe' Teft Sonoita, and marched to Cayproa, a small n town near Point Lobos, on the G If of Cati- forvia. Tne first intenuion was to have proceeded to altar, ‘but news of ite partial fortification and surceptibility of a strong defence caused the diversion on Cavorca. On the morping of the let of April the party of americans en- tered the guburbs of the town. They were m-t by a body of Mexican troops commanded by Rodrig+ez It is sald Rodriguez advanced to speak to Crabbe, whea the Ameri- cans opened fire and kilied the Mexican commander and eeveral oihers. Tbe Mexicans immedviately retreated— some to the mountains, but the majority to the eburch, which had been placed in « state of d: feuce, avd had at the time Crabbe entered the town a number of beeves roasting whole 1a front of it to feed the Mexican troops.

THR MATERTEL OF CRASBE’S PANTY. {From the san Franeieca Herald, May U5] We regret the impossi rility of obtaining, at least for the present, a complete and c yrrect list of those who crmposed the ill-fated party, whore butebery by the Mexicana at Ca- verca (Sopora) we yesterday published, Its publication been uttered by seme against the characier of that exDe- tion; for that gallant band embraced much of the taleat, worth and integrity of our State.

He repre. sented San Joaquin county in the Assembly dir- bg the year 1852: and the Senatorial district, com of San Joaquin aud Contra Costa, during the years 1853 and 64. Durmg this service, his build, avle and fearless course agaivet all schemes of corruption, won for him the admi ation and esteem of a!! men.

These gentlemen were among |) se Known to us who were of the party, and all of wh. ., we fear have met this common fate. Mr, Rasey Biven, loog connected with the pross of this State, and who hold the position of Atistant Secretary of the Senate in 1854, is also reported to be among. the number, Mr. ven had been residing in Hermosillo with bis family some time to the departure of Crab? huis brother-in-law) from this city, There ian» cerla...», however, in relation 10 hie fate.

It is eaid an offer was made by Crabbe to retirc if the Mexi- cans would allow it. He refused to retire when the offer was made him, after the fighting had continued two days,aid pow the Mexicans, confi¢ent of his weakness and their triumph, refused. Tne Americans were gra- dually but surely caught in @ enare, trom which they saw no ercape. By breaking through tho wall of the houses the Mexicans forced Crabbe and bis men into the corner buildings, which they repeatedly set on fire, but which tho Americaps as often extivguished. At last a Papago Indian shot inte the roof of the main building occupied by the unbappy filibusters a lighted arrow. The flames caught the roof, and tn a few moments the fire was drop- in great flakes upon the beads of the doomed men wi.bin, Worn out vith constant Oghtiog, exhausted with aoxiety, famished by probably cays of starvation aad thiret, avd withou! ammunition, Heury A. Crabbe and iifty- eight men marched out of the burning houre, with a white flag before them, laid down the.r a ms and ‘surrendered, it ts supposed unconditionally. This was 'm the night or towards morning. They were immediately tied, their bands bebind them, taken to «corre! near the Alcalie’s office, where they were kept until morning, when they were taken out in squads of five and. ten each and shot. In the first executions it was found that the calmaess of the Americans discom) the executioners, and they sbot too bigh or too low, in many cases only wounding thetr victims. Tho backs of the fated men were theu turved to the troops, aud they succeeded insaiming with better effe t MeCoun (may he rest in peace), owing to his great sta- tore, was raved this torture—a ball struck bim full ia the breast at the first fire, and he fell dead. Crabbe alove was reserved soliiary death, Ho was taken to the al- calde’s office, questioned, allowed to write a letter w his wife, and to have au interview with Dr. Evans, a prisoner ip the hands of the Mexicans, who had been in conane- ment rome weeks on suspicion. The hour for bis execa- tum baving arrived, be was led out, bis bands s retened above bis head and’ tied to a post, tn front of the building he bad eccupted—his face to th t and his back to bis executioners. At the command “ire,” at least a hundred dalls were fixed ints his body, and all that was mortal of Henry A Crabbe hung dead, swinging by his tied hands, A Mexican ste forward and witb a large knife severed bis heaa from the body, the warm bi spirting half way across tho street The acad was placed on a table in front, or in the office of the vuez, exposed to tho jeers of the populace, It was then placed ja a jar of mescal for pre- fervation here not something peculiarly terrible in exch a fate for a man who has once controlled almost ihe destiny of a great State like California? ‘Two of the Ainsas (brothers-in-law of Crabbe) are raid to be killed, and also Kasey Biven, My tn ormant, an in- telligent man, and eye wi of these horror:, says Crabbe died as a gontieman should, as catmly and quletly as if he were Boing. 10.8 plearant hime. k, bad been left at Sonolta by Crabbe, y the house owned by E.

Mr. Dunbar just escaped maseacre, having left Sonoita ob the af ernooa pevions. The Mexicans were furious at hia escape, although be bad nothing ‘0 do with thé part except to offer eheiter, on American soil, to four sick o io his own house. A party of about 30 recruits, under Orpt. Grant Orrey staried trem Cucgon to j sin Cravbe at Cavorca. When with 1 miles of the latter place they were atta.ked by Moxivans, Oapt.

Another party of the fame strength, which left Tubac, bas not yot been heard It is beileved that if Capt. Orr y had been with Crabbe dierent result might have been anelpated. All was bad managemect, want of experince, and a clear risbing upon a deaaly fate. Cravbe entered Cavorca with 84 men. All these wero kiiled exer pt the youngest, said to have been spared by the Medcan commander, Gurcia. The ame of the survivor ix unknown, but he is aid to bow of sixteen or seventeen.

The influence of this affair upon Americans is vory bad.

At the time of Mr. Crabbo’s first vieit, civil war pre vailed in Sonora. One party was beaded by Gandara, G-vernor of the State and reprorentative of the Central go verpment—the other by Pesqueira. With the chiels of the later party Mr. Crabbe bai sevors! interviews. It was represen'ed to him thatthe people of Souora were anxious to declare their tndeperdence preparatory to annexation to the United States, for oppret was the only result of their connection with Mexico, and that with the co-oyora tion of Americans the project was entirely feasible. Mr. Crabbe returned to this State to raise men to ald the Sonoravians in their struggle fer freedom, and in the meaptime tho Gancera paity were defeated and their leader was driven from the country. The fret alep to wards conquering their indeyendenve bad been taken by the people of Sonora. The representatives of the central government baa been driven from tho State, and the de. claration was all that was required to render its inde- perdence a fait axompli Shortly after theso evens transpired Gen. Crabbe reached the fronucr with his men. So cen ent was be that his arrival would be the sigaal for the performance of the formal act which was to sepa- rate Sonera from Mexico, that, in a letter received from bim by one of bis iricuds, dated the 25th of March, he taid “he ex that, on bis reaching Altar, the inde- pen¢ence of Sonora would be deciared.’”” What followed 1s best tld in the words of our corres- pondent, writing fom Fort Yama under date of the 15th of April, and whose letter was published in the Herals on the arrival of the steamer from .be South before the lat — ‘A! Sonoita they found provisions. especially flour, very rearce, but pald for all they took. Here, it is said, they received orders from Pesqueira to garrison Altar and hold it until they received retoforcements, when the independ. ence of Soporagwas to be deciared. A tpecial courier re — Crabbe to go to Hermosillo to confer with Pesqucira. e copficting report is that Pesqueira was en roule with five hvncred men to prevent the disembarkation of Crabbe’s reinforcements at Adair Bay. Crabve’s party, finding that Altar bad been ja some rort fortified by building an adobe wall entirely around the town, leaving only ue of two gaice open for ingress or egress, made a diversion towards Cayorca,a smaller place, where, after a sbarp fgbt, in which twelve Mexicans and tea of Crabbe’s party were killed, the la tor retreated. Tt bow tarps ont that rometinne before the arrival of Gen Crabbe on the frontier some cortof a compromise was made between the contending factions, and to this com- promise he and the gallant band by whom be was accom- ted were racrifioed. Such is the secret history of this t expedition to Sonora, OF the results which may be expected to flow from its sad ter mization, it is pot our par- we to epoak at present.

There are events tu the life of the publis man to which malignity is accustomed to give a sinister interpretation; aud Upon actions really worthy of eniogium there is often, cast, by the terrible partizan spirit, horrible blots of biaok and ignoble calumny ; for whon people see themselves en- veloper in the horrors of civil war, and when they are embraced by the inoxtinguishable tates of discord, thers are not wanting false men who, under the shelter of im- purity, are ready ty jarult theve who maxo noble and dia- terested Racritices free from ambitious motives, Thad formed the resolution of remaining in ‘ifferent to the lyipg tmputation?

But when see with sorrow that tbat dear country for which I havo made tuch covtly sacrifices, has been delivered up to the mort hors ible'vandalism, and is the victim of desolation and misery; that «he ttands on the edge of an abyss, strug- gling, though withot strength, in the immcnzo and tem- pestuous space of the moat disastrous anareby, I have felt it my duty to break the sileucej that I haye hitherto main- tained, so that the people of the world, judging impartially, may pronounce that inevitable verdict, which, , ng in iteelf the wisdom of all civilized mations, accords to the public man the most sublime and grateful satisfaction. My object in writing this manifesto is certainly not to place myrelf again on the slippery soll of politics, a soll ever meistened with the innocent blood which has been shed in Mexico, 1 did not wirh to remain on that soil, although I might have done oy not- withstanding that there had raled iv the moontaing of the douth a new banner, because it was important to my good reputation to leave the field opon to the patricians who then appeared, so thas I should never be deemed per- eovally interested in retarding the estabhahment of @ con- stitution springing from the spirit of reform. Reform never has been part of my political faith, because 1 have 5 eq it as the venom which has always poisoned the pat ons, I voluntarily renounced the pleasures of power, although I might very well have wilenoed the cry of revolutioa, be- cause I wiehed to givo an unequivocal proof tha! I wag not animated by ignoble views of miserable ambition; and my renunciation also necessary for ihe future success of the nation, to that Mexicans might know the capabilities of certain men who, treasovably proclaiming hberty, enchain- ed the people by introducing in the midst of society the diseclving priveiples of anarchy, Tt was euay to foresee that a society over agitated and torn up by civil war would experience a p-otound shook as soon as there should arrive at the first po- sitiovs of power ob-cure men without political antecedents, and ruce and ignorant in the science of gov- ernment—a'seionco diMovlt w require, because it pre- suppores uplii study and long vials.
