i } N —_——-——+ A, A. SARGENT, EDITOR, Ses Seerwe wre Editorial Correspoudence. 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 The power of the Know Nothing organization is very great here, and all but one candidate has withdrawn from the field in terror of this new scourge of politicians.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, a JOURNAL . { ! FRIDAY MORNING, NCV. 10. 1854. . uing, spacious apd convenient, and . Fresn the Seuth. The Goliah from San Deigo arrived at San Franciseo on the Gih, bringing San Diego papers to Nov. Ist, an 2d. d Los Angeles of the The Southern Californian Says : * 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 one hundred and fifty bushels to. the ac‘e. We saw stalks nineteen feet in he‘ght, nine or ten feet to the first ear from the ground, and six monster ears ‘apon the stalk, to say nothing of the nabbins. the general In satisfaction of good honses. this company, are’ excellent. are now on a tour to Forest City, Downieville, . &c., and will returm in a short time, when they will give a few more evenings: entertainments. 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. Bay Mr. Gordon delivered a lecture at the Concert Hall yesterday evening, on the subject of Spiritual Manifestations, He will give another lecture during next week. B@s~ Yesterday evening two men had a dispute in front of our office, when one of them struck the other with a stone, injuring him severely. He. attempted to escape, but was overtaken and is in custody. Anorner Fata Dvsu took place at Oakland on Wednesday morning, between A. L. Kewen, brother of E. J. C. Kewen, and Col. Woodliff, with rifles 40 yards, in which the latter was shot through the heart, and expired instantly. 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. wea. P. K. Hubbs, Superintendant of Public Instruction, has called an Educational Convention, to meet at San Francisco on the 26h of December. AH Superintendents and 'Teachers are invited to attend. To facilitate the enterprise the steamboat company have offered to carry all teachers to and’ from San Francisco free of charge. — kay Wells, Fargo & Co. have furnished us with the State Jorrnal the past week.

The Yumas have been workiny faithfully this serson, but the usva! overflow not having taken place, they vvi!l have ascanty crop. Many Sonorlans are daily arriving to settle in this tate; the reason they give for leaving is, that the Apaches are becoming worse than ever, and have starved them out in their own country. It is said, by some who arrived the other day, that about one thousand Sonorand will only prolong the ballot-. ians would cross in the course of a month. ings by allowing their names to be used.

Efackneyed politicians should not represent this Vigorous young State in the United States Senate. A man should go who has some of the fire and energy of the times and pesple he represents— who bas helped to make oar prosperity and knows its mainsprings~-not one who has travélled the corrupt routine of office and political Chicanery in the other States, till worn-out end thrown aside~but one who will bring to his duties an earnest care for those who entrust him with a position that is not to be abused or turned to personal ends. There are few men in the State who would .think of being Senator who are less fitted for the position than Gwin. He is too old. a politician—he is too selfish—his talents, except for intrigue, aré too feeble, he has become Office-worn, and should give way to a younger generation. 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. Suppx Dearu—On Tuesday evening last a sman named L. P. Richey, stopped: at the New York Hotel—complained of being indisposed, and wanted a bed, which was shown him. Not making his appearance in the morning at breakfast time, some one went to his room to awaken him, when he was found dead: Coroner Russell held an inquest over his body on Wednesday, in which it was ascertained that his death was caused by congestion of the induced by intemperance.

Beck’s train, encamped within half a ile of Dunlap at the time, lost all their Dunlap furnished them with teams to bring their wagons through. 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 days, expecting to raise a company for the purpese of going back into Sonora. There is plenty of water this season on the desert between Warner’s Rancho and Colorado river. About a mile anda half from Cook’s well, at a laguna formed by recent rains, some one hundred head of cattle, belonging to John James, died of poison— they all lie on about two acres of ground ; they are supposed to have been poisened by an herb.growing there which has heretofore killed somany sheep. _ Scuoot Cznsus.—We are informed by Marshal Cole, who has just completed the School Census, that there are 617 children in this city, of which 306 are males, and 311 females. Depication.—On Sunday: next, the M. E. Church, which has undergone s re-construction, will be dedieated, at 1¢ past 10 o'clock. The church is now completed and presents a neat and comfortable appearance. The Quarterly meeting takes place at the same time, at which the Presiding Elder will officiate. The services will doubtless be exceedingly interesting. Bam We are indebted to Wells, Fargo & for the regular delivery ef Marysville and other exchanges. Tre “Queen City.”--This is the name ofa new boat which made its first trip to Sacramento on Saturday last, and which is said to combine as many good qualities as we could expect to find in a single boat. The length of the boat is 200 feet; that of the cabin 156. The cabin and saloon furnished in a style of elegance and. convenience unsarpassed. She was built by the “Citizens’ Steamboat Company” of Marysville, and will run in connection to the comthis advertisement ss Information Wanted, delectable retreat must be kept in a constant state of excitement, between the newspapers and the prisoners.— Alta. pep The Auburn Whig says that of late considerable mortality prevails among the Chinamen in the vicinity of that place. “ —_—_—— ee weg A Hanpsome Present.—Ex-Mayor Garrison is to be presented with a magnificent tea set, containing five pieces of solid gold, and weighing together about 400 ounces. Cost $7,000. BGS “Does this razor go easy?” asked a barber of a victim who was writhing under a clumsy instrument, whose demoustration was a strong handle. : “Well, that depends upon what you call the operation. Ifyou are skinning me, it goes tolerably easy ; but if you are shaving, it goes mighty rough.” The barber who dressed the head of a barre] has been engaged to fix up the locks of a canal. eee MARRIED—On the 4th inst., at Scott’s Ranch, by Rev. J. R. Tansey, Mr. ISAIAH MOODY to Miss SUSAN R MILES, both of this county. A THING OF BEAUTY IS A JOY FOREVER.—Why will 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. : Parx & White, General Agents, 94 Market St., San Francisco.
