San Franctsco, Nov. 7, 1854.
T left Nevada by the monopoly line of stages
a little past midnight of the 3d, and aftcr a
rather pleasant ride over the hard road made
by rains and succeeding dry weather, arrived
in Sacramento at 2 o'clock the same day: The
boat leaving for San Francisco im an by I
had little time to note the extetisive improvements of Sacramento, but 2 g/.nce sufficed to
show that = permanent 2”,q beautiful city has
taken the place of “ne Sacramento of flood
and fire. The capitol being erected is 2 handsome bui!@
portively fireproof. If the State wisely accepts the offered accommodations, it will be
well furnished. :
The monopoly on the Sacramento river that
has so punished the merchants of the interior
is meeting a formidable “ opposition” that has
brought the fare down ta 25cts -deek passage,
and $3 for the-cabin.-Afine steamer called
the Queen City: has just’been entered on the
opposition. It isto be hoped the merchants
and others will gustain the new line, and prevent the results of the combination. that.has
ruled on the great artery of trade fora few
months past. An excellent feeling prevails, I
believe, among business men, here and at Sacramento, in favor of the new line. Interior
merchants shipping goods should bear iu mind
the advantages to be gained by encouraging
this competition, and assist by their patronage
snd encouragement this attempt to compete
with the monopoly.
To-day the city is in the midst of an election
of some'excitement--for the office of Comptroller to fill the vacancy oceasioned by the elopement of Meigg’s, the Comptroller elect with
his brother, Henry. But.two candidates are
in the field, Wm. Sherman, a resident since
*49, and an accomplished and able rentlemas,
and Haight, brother of one of the firm of Page,
Bacon & Oo. The streets are lined with electioneering gentlemen, and the polls of course
crowded with patriots. The power of the
Know Nothing organization is very great here,
and all but one candidate has withdrawn from
the field in terror of this new scourge of politicians.
Business seems to -be good in this city.—
Heavy shipments to the interior are being
made, and many articles have advanced in
price. But rents have fallen fifty per cent in
the past six months, and must yet greatly decrease. The progress of building has more
than kept pace with business, and the natural
consequence is a fallin rents, Many magnificent brick and stone buildings have been erected here within a ycar.
A grand dinner was given to the press at
the Railroad Hotel on Saturday night, which
is spoken of as a fine affair, but numerous engagements prevented my attendance. The
Railroad Hotel is a very large, and well-fitted
building, in a central part of the city, and will
be a favorite stopping place.
Tie Senatorial question is much canvassed
in this hot bed of poiitics. The question is
generally understood when narrowed down bztween Broderick and Gwin, with the chances
decidedly in favor of the former. It is considered that McDougall, and all the other host
ef miner applicants have no chance for ultimate success,

*
Mr. vilson’s residerce. His head was
“ry much cut with some sharp instrument, probably a sword; and from indications in the vicinity where the deceased
was found, he appeared to have struggled
hard to save life; the fence in several places was besmeared with blood, as though
he had attempted to get over.
An inquest was held on the body, and
a verdict rendered, that the deceased had
come to his death from blows inflicted on
the head, by some persons unknown.
A man named Philip Alvitre, and an
Indian girl sixteen. years old, have been
arrested for the murder of James Ellington. Alvitre acknowledged that he and
his brother killed him, and afterwards killed a Chilean named Gorgona Carrera.—
They had been examined before Judge
Hayes and committed for trial. The Sheriff has offered areward of $250 apiece
dead or alive for those of the murderers
who are still at large.
Svicipe.—On the 27th ult., Peter Diabler committed suicide, at Santa Barbara,
by cutting his throat with a rezor. It is
said he had lived ina deranged state of
mind for several days, on account of some
family difficulties.
Los Anceres Sart Worxs.—We understand that the gentlemen interested in
the Salt Works have formed a stock company, with a capital of $120,000. New
and enlarged works, on a scale of magnitude and durability commensurate with the
gratifying prospects afforded by the undertaking, are being prosecuted with energy. It is believed that on their completion, or in one month from this date, the
company will turn out five hundred bushels of salt per diem. This being the case,
and there being but little doubt that it can
be manufactured as cheap as at Syracuse
or elsewhere, we see no reason why this
company should not be able to control the
markets on the Pacific.
Some 600 shares were taken yesterday,
by capitalists.
ee From the Los Angeles Star, we
gather the following items:
Tart Corn.—The Monte bangs the
world on corn; without rain or irrigation,
crops have been raised that will turn out

Bes~ We see an excellent article in the Alta
from Dr. Wozencraft, sdvocating the project
of starting a daily line of stages between St.
Louis andsome point in California, in which
he shows that the mail matter leaving daily
each terminus, may be delivered at the other
end of the route in 1214 days, for about twice
the sum paid the steamers, for the same services performed semi monthly & that passengers
may be transported for one hundred dollars
each. We sincerely: hope Congress will lay
aside its partiality for overgrown monopolies,
and bestow some attention to this matter.

Anorner Fata Dvsu took place at Oakland on Wednesday morning, between A. L.

Bay A writer in the Marysville Herald
writing over the signature of “Alexis,” makes
some most searching enquiries inta the judicial
conduct of Judge Barbour, which look to us
as though they must carry conviction that some
things have not been done scrupulously correct.

than Gwin. He is too old. a politician—he is
too selfish—his talents, except for intrigue,

Tae Lapres’ Svrrrr.—We_have a fall aceount of the supper given by the ladies of the
Baptist Church on Wednesday evening, prepared by the Secretary on the occasion; but
aan unustial press of work renders its publication ig this issue impossible. The occasion
was one of great pleasure, being attended by a
large suneber of persons, and goed feeling prevailed. The proceeds from the sale of tickets
emounted to $550. After the supper was over
resolutions were passed expressive of their mutual satisfacteon.

A party of twenty men, under the command of Capt. Callahan, went back from
Santa Cruz, attacked the Apaches on the
San Pedro river, killed some thirty of
them (themselves losing a Mexican, their
second Lieutenant,) and recovered some
one hundred head of stock, which the Indians had stolen from Sonora. The Mexicans in the company brought back the
thirty scalps, according to their custom.
Capt. Callahan will be here in a few

people endure pimples on the ‘‘human face divine,’’ or
eruptions of any kind, when it is a fact so well known
that Dr. Guizorr’s YELLOW Dock AND SARSAPARILLA cleanses the skin from all impurity. removing Pimples, Sores,
and Blotches, leaving the affected parts as healthy, smooth
and soft as the flesh of a babe. It is really priceless to
all that wish the rosy beauty of childhood.
It causes all sores and poisonous wounds to discharge all
infested matter, and eradicates every impurity from the
system. fi
It does its work mildly, but.effectwally; giving conscious
beauty and blooming health ‘in the place of ugliness and
soul-sickening disease. :
