Sacramento, April 27th. 1857. The Late City Government, We give in another column the final report of the late Board of Trustees showing the receipts into the Treasury, and the expenses of the city government, for the year that they bad charge of its affairs. Although the city charter does not require any report at this time, they deemed it proper that one should be made and placed upon the records, for future reference. It will be seen that the total receipts into the Treasury for the year has been $8,994 38, while the expenditures during the same period have been $12,243 26, being an excess over the receipts of $3.248 88, exclusive of the Treasurer's commission, which has not been included in the report, as the Treasurer elect has been absent and not yet qualified. The Treasurer's commission will amount to about $260, leaving about three thousand five hundred dollars as the total amount of city scrip now outstanding. Thie debt can be liquidated in the course of the next fiecal year without resorting to oppressive taxation. There is still something due upon the property tax, and the amount which will be collected from licenses and fines will rather exceed than fall short of the amount collected last year, The late Board of Trusteer have had many A'fficulties to contend with in administering the affairs of the city. In entering upon the discharge of the duties of their office it was their firm determination that the expenses of the city should be pa‘d in cash, and that no d bt should be left for their successors, But in consequence of the several calamities which befel the city, this determination could not be carried out without seriously endangering the future prospects of the place. The bridge at the foot of Main street and the one over Little Deer creek were destroyed by the fire of last July, and the Broad and Pine street bridges were so much damaged as to render it dangerous for teams to pase over them. It was necessary for the prosperity of the town that these bridges should be repaired and rebuilt. Attempts were at first made by the property holders more immediately interested to do the work by subscription, bot this plan was found impracticable, and contracts were therefore let out by the Board of Trustees, who were compelled to issue scrip in payment, Three of these bridges were again Wao are Resronswix?—The Journal in its wrter to be at iadependent of politics ws is con ception of the true interests of the people will permit, gets off a furious article against the Democratic party of this State, and closes by asking, ‘to whom is the State debt of $4,000,000 to be charged?’* In answering this question we should charge the late Know Nothing party with considerably more than their share of the debt, considering the length of time they have been in power. The debt, admitting it to be $4,000,000, has accumulated at the rate of half million s year since the State government was organized. The Know Nothing Legislature the year they were in power appropriated about five hundred thousand dollars more than was received into the Treasury for that year, and the amount stolen by Dr. Bates, their Treasurer, will swell this sum to over three quarters of a million, to say nothing of the outrageous State Prison contract which they made with Gen. Estell, by which the State was to pay $600,000 in five years for taking care of the convicts, and which has yet got to be paid. The abuse of John Bigler is too hackneyed a subject to be of much force. He was Governor of the State for four years. and had his recommendations been carried out during that time, at least one half of the State debt would not have been contracted. The statement that he let a contract to Vassault for building a State Prison, for which the State was to pay over a million of dollars, isa pure fabrication. Gov. Bigler never made such a contract. The contract was let out by Commissioners appointed by the Legislature, As for the warrants drawn by Controller Bell, for building the State Prison wall, and for supplies for the convicts, it may be well enough to state Nhat they have never been paid, and their registry was ordered to be cancelled. although it is well known that the prison wall was built and the supplies actually furnished. Even if they should eventually be paid, the expense of the prison was less while under the control of Gov. Bigler, than the Kuow Nothing Legislature the next winter contracted to pay to Gen, Estell. We shall not . pretend to say but that Democratic officials may have been guilty of delinquencies in discharging the duties of their offices; but if any of them have ever been guilty of stealing money out of the State Treasury, they were too smart to get caught in the act. The Journal's “conception of the true interests of the people’? consists in the defeat of the Democracy, aud the elevation to power of some other party. CommutatTion.—The Governor has commuted the punishment of Chas, F. Blair, convicted of the murder of » Chinaman, and sentenced to be hung, to imprisonment for life. Considerable dissatisfaction was manifested in Shasta, ou receiving the news that the sentence was commuted. They cannot, however, blame the Governor, for a petition was presented to him with sixteen hundred signatures, among whom were the Senators and Assemblymen of Shasta and Siskiyou counties, praying for a commutation of the sentence. It seems that public opinion, in that section was divided as to whether or not the man deserved to be hung. Cantvorxta State Recister.—Col. Parker H. ewept off last winter by the breaking of Laird’s . French bas issued a prospectus for the publica reservoir, and the other considerably damaged, tiou of a daily paper with the above title in and for a few days after this accident, there was . Sacramento, It is to be Republican in politics. no means hy which teams could get in or out of town, in going or coming from below. As e00n Saturn To pe DeLvoep.—The discovery has as practicable this damage was repaired. The . recently been made that the rings encircling amount expended on bridges alone by the corporation has somewhat exceeded five thousand dollars; and if we add to this the sum expended in grading the streets and building the city priaon, it will be seen that one-half of the expenditures for the past year have been of an extraordinary character, the necessity for which it is to be hoped will not again occur, Besides the amount expended by the city for the rebuilding of bridges, it is proper to add that the county Supervisors have appropriated twelve hundred dollars out of the county road fund to assist in their construction, The money was given in charge to the Board of Trustees, and by them strictly applied to the objects for which it was appropriated. A small. but efficient, police force has been kept np during the year, with the view princi pally of guarding the city against accidents by fire in the night, and the attempts of incendiaFora few months four men were under pay in this department, when the number was Particular care has been taken to select proper men for policemen, and as a general thing it is believed they have faithries, reduced to three. fully discharged their duties, There are those who have been disposed to cavil and find fault with the members of the late . Ww. A. Buster, the late d Board, and their motives have to some extent been impugned by political opponents. A temporary excitement was raised last winter, and an attempt made to get the charter repealed. For the purpose of getting signatures to a petition for this purpose, a ridiculous rumor was put in circulation, that the Trustees were voting themselves money and drawing pay for their services, and many actually believed this report to be true. In letting out contracts for work, the Trustees may possibly in some cases have given more than they could have got the work done for; but their acts on the whole will bear the closest serutiny, and we believe every unprejud’ced person will now ray that they have managed the affairs of the city with ae much prudence and economy asa man would ordinarily use in the management of his own private affairs. More than this could not be expected. Tue Comet, which is to knock our little planet into nonentity on the 13th proximo, has become a standing subject for newspaper “leaders’’ in this State. The sober arguments which are being adduced, ostensibly to allay apprehension on the subject. oniy have a tendency to increase the excitement. If newspapers really wish to keep down excitement, the proper course to pursue is to say nothing about the matter, For rus Gapspen Purcuasx.—A company orgauized in Stanislaus county, bave recently left for the Gadsden Purebase. W. D. Kirk, late Sheriff of the county, is in command of the company. which is well supplied with horses, the planet Saturn are of recent origin and composed of water; and that in the course of twelve years they will “close in,’ and the before mentioned planet will experience a very “heavy wet” similar to “our” deluge. Humanity, of course, will create a great deal of sympathy for the unfortunate inhabitants of that planet; but as we have no means of assisting them we might as well rest easy on the subject. DiscuarGep FRoM Perretvuan IMpRIsONMENT.— A Chinaman named Ab-Tunk, was recently discharged from the Sacramento jail by Judge Heard, on a writ of habeas corpus. He, had been convicted and fined for gambling before one of the county justices, and was ordered to be imprisoned till the fine was paid. Ashe had no money, the sentence amounted practically to perpetual imprisonment, Democratic Triumrus.—Elections were held in Stockton, Oroville and Benicia, for city officers, on the 4th inst. With one or two exceptions, the Democratic nominees were elected, The fragments of the so-called “People’s” party were completely routed, Tak Deravutrer’s Doow.—Oun Wednesday last, efaulting Treasurer of Sonoma county, left the place of his official rascalities under escort of an officer, and has, ere this, entered upon his eight years’ residence in the Penitentiary. ae a te Sacramento Vanier RaLroap.—From a report published by the Superintendant of the Sacramento Valley Ruilroad, it appears that the earnings of the road, for the month of April, after deducting all the current expenses, was $10,500. If this is a fair exhibit of the mouthly earnings of the road, the stockholders in a short time will be receiving dividends on their investment. Tue Mystery So.vep—The mysterious disappearance of the two blacksmiths, at San Francisco, noticed on our first page, has been accounted for, They have turued up in Oregon. From a letter written by one of them, it would appear that inability to pay their debts was the cause of their sudden departure. THEATRICALS IN THE NortTH.—Mrs. Estelle Potter, with a talented company, has been playing for some time past in Shasta. They were to have left the first of this week for Weaverville, McGowan’s troupe were playing last week to good houses, at Red Blufls and Tehama. For Governor.—-It is said that Col. BE. D. Baker will be the Republican candidate for Gov. * ernor. He is doubtless the strongest man that party can put up. Col. Baker was born in EngJand, and one object in putting bim up will be to catch foreign votes. on a nm 0 ee ee es Miss Arpertine.—This sprightly actress drew mules; &c. They expect to join Crabb’s party . , full house on her re-appearance at the Forin abont six weeks. rest Theater, Sacramento, on Thureday evening. 2 Wacow Roap Cosventions.—Parties eeverally interested, have held wagon road conventions at Sacramento, El Dorado, Mok. lumne Hill, Marysville, and other places, in order to bring their favorite routes into notice. These conventions are not likely to accomplish anything. The Marysville corvention appointed twelve commissioners to locate a road through Plumas county, leading directly into Marysville. The Butte delegation, considering their county thrown off, withdrew from the convention, and went home. Their action was endorsed by the citizens of Oroville, and acall was made for another convention on the 23d instant. The Butte Record is particularly severe on the Marysville convention, and charges that seven of the twelve commissiuners are interested in toll roads and bridges below American Valley.— There are so many conflicting interests to be consulted, that it ishardly possible for anything to be done this season towards improving auy of the immigrant routes over the mountains, Almost every mountain county has the best route, and of course will do nothing to help improve the others. Crossino Tue Pains.—We learn from the State Journal that a party of western people are preparing to start from Sacramento in a few days for the eastern States, across the country. The enormous rates of fare now charged on the steamers, is the principal cause of their taking this route. In the party there are several ladies and children. There are some thirty in all; all of them have crossed the plains and some of them several] times, They hope to get through in about seventy days and spend several days at Salt Luke City in that time. The gentlemen who are in the company are very certain that they will be able to sell their mule teams at the eastat nearly their cost, and are sanguine that their journey, at the utmost, will not cost them over $100 for each adult. Owing to many favorable causes the journey is made with much less fatigne and privation to meu aud animals, . aud in much less time, than in coming from the East. The party will take the old Carson route. It is thought that companies will be starting across every weck for some time, either through to Missouri or to Salt Lake, Jam Detivery.— Ou the 7th inst. four prisoners made their escape from the El Dorado county jail. The names of the fugitives and description of their persons areas follows :— Stanlvy, 5 feet 10 inches in height, sandy complexion, brown hair, well dressed. Wm. O'Neil 5 feet 5 inches in height, ruddy complexion, thick set, and an Irishman by birth and speaks with a little brogue. Tall, 5 feet 11 inches in height, weighs 170 pounds, down cast look, grey eyes, shabbily dressed, no heels on hie shoes, and has the general appearance of a thief.— Williams, 5 feet 7 inches in height, weighs 150 pounds, fair complexion, full face, speaks rapidly, For the apprehension of each of these, Sheriff Corsen of El Dorado offers $100. Sticks To rr.—The Journal of Friday denied the statement made by the Union some time since, in regard to several prominent Know Nothings having met in secret in Sacramento, and concluded to support the administration of Mr. Buchanan, The Union haa since corrected its statement so far as the secresy of the meeting was concerned, but in other respects, the account appears to have been correct. We regarded the statement as reliable for the reason that the Union isso bigoted in its opposition to the Democracy, that it would not be likely to pervert the truth in order to make a statement favorable to that party, although it frequently does so for the purpose injuring it, In this respect the Union very much resembles our neighbor of the Journal. VoLcano.—The Washington Republican says that a mountain to the southward of Steilacoom supposed to be Mount St. Helen’s, is to be seen from the Nisqually Plains in a state of eruption. It has for the last few days been emitting huge volumes of dense smoke and fire, presenting a grand and eublime spectacle. AvsTRALIAN Goip Supments.—According to the Australian News the total amount of gold shipped from the port of Melbourne for the year 1856 was 2,857,109 0z., which at $17,50 per ounce, amounted to withina fraction of $50,000,000, Extarcep.—The Sacramento City Jem has recently been enlarged. It is now just half the size of the Democrat.

Assavrt to Murper.—The case of Sam White, ind cted for assault with intent to kill William Flowry, at the Sutter Armory. Sacramento City, on the 18th of June last, during the height of the Vigilance excitement in that place, came to a termination in the Court of Sessions on the 5th inst., resulting in the acquittal of defendant, Ixptan Reservation.—At present, there are four thousand Iadians about the Nome Lackee Reservation, in good health and contented.— There has been two thousand acres of wheat sown, which promises to yield a fair average crop. Decutvev.--Hon, Ed. Stanley, who was appointed City Attorney of San Francisco by the Board of Supervisors, has refused to acce pt the office.

Who threw an ax at the villlan’s head. The ax wissed him, but he dropped the girl upon the road and fled as fast as his horse could carry him. The news of the outrage spread . .ke wildfire, and a posse was immed.ately raised by the the fellow, and returncd with bim to Jack-on, where they arrived about eun-set. He was immediately committed to jail, but at last accounts had not had his examination. Accipents at Grass VaLiLry.—A man from Boston Ravine, winle riding out of town, vu Sunday evening last, was thrown from his borse aud falling upou bis head produced a violeut concussion of the brain, from the effects of which, he expired ou Thursday. Cuarles R.chards, of Boston Ravine, accidentally shot bimselfon Monday through the left thumb with one of Allen’s Revolvers; the ball carried away most of the nail and joint nearest to it, thereby tiflicting a very painful but not dangerous wound. Mr. Pierce, of Pike Flat, fell into a shaft about thirty feet deep, on Moaday last, aud caused the complete dislocation of ove of the epine, and the partial dislodgemeut of two others, His right arm aud left leg were ecousider. ably bruised. Tis cure is progressing finely, As ove of the workmen to Larimer’s Quartz mill was attempting to “hang up’? a stamper on Thursday last, the wheel suddeuly started and put in motion the cam shaft: the cam came in contact with the stamper in such a mauner as to throw the lever, which the mau was using, against his head with such violence as to produce a serious concussion of the brain. The injury, tiough severe, itis hoped will not be fatal, Mr Charles Duke was considerably injured this morning, while in a shaft some twenty feet dvep, by the fall of a piece of timber from the top. which struck his right shoulder blad:, while he was ina stooping position. He was j able to walk to his lodgings, but soon after found himself unable to breathe, except with great dfficulty, and one of his arms becoming benumbed, ind cated injury of the spine and muscles of respiration.—G. V. Telegraph of Suturday. Se ates Tunare Counry.—A_ correspondent of the Mariposa Gazette, thus writes from Visalia, Tulare county, April 27th: The agricultural portion of this county, which has heretofore been looked upon as a forsaken country, has improved witbin the last seasou at least 100 per eeut. Much land isnow undercultivation, which by means of irrigation from Tule river and the Four Creeks, and with little labor, produce a fine yield. Fruit trees and vines have, witbiu a short time, been planted in . different sections, and the present prospects indente @reasonable supply of delic.ous truits, and ere long, vineyards will ve cultivated with . 4s much success asin Los Angeles county, But the great business of the valley, will be the raising and fattening of cattle, for which it possesses facilities unequalled by any other portion of . . the county are now being developed, aad the . richness of the quartzis second to none in the State, Much expensive machinery has been, wid is now being erected to work the rich quartz lodes which lay scattered over a vast scope of country between White and Kern rivers. A connty road is now being surveyed, to ran from Keysville, the principal towas in these mines, situated ninety miles south of Visalia, and which will undoubtedly be the county seat of Keru . county, that is soou to be, What a’ contrast it must be to the traveler who, two years ago, on tide of excitement into these mines, and’ who placer diggings, Ii the event of a good read produce is brought from Los Angeles, the fae . ity for hauling, making the freight -somewhat less on that route—but should the proposed canal be completed to connect the with the Tulare Lake, it would bring this part ty which, at first sight, seems inconceivable. Tuk Wheat Cror,—A gentleman who isa large dewler in wheat, assures. the Marysville . Lepress that the fears expressed of a serious . fadure of the crops are gronadless, IL) says that there is half enough of the old crop now on hand to feed the people of the State. and bes des the quantity of ground sown is much greater this year than it was last. He also assures us that the chief falling off in the crop is in Sutter, . Colusi aud Yolo, although we are aware that . very considerable fields in this county, on the Feather river, will be short at least one half, The only thing that van make breadstuffs . sbort, or command an exorbitant price, is the . exportations and sp-culation; bat we can hardly think that large amounts will be exported in the face of well grounded fears of a dearth here, . ve as i a saeesiniers. there can be some ay provided to brin se “pure Mi AL Sowa g these “purest and best”?

Sacramento, April 27th. 1857. The Late City Government, We give in another column the final report of the late Board of Trustees showing the receipts into the Treasury, and the expenses of the city government, for the year that they bad charge of its affairs. Although the city charter does not require any report at this time, they deemed it proper that one should be made and placed upon the records, for future reference. It will be seen that the total receipts into the Treasury for the year has been $8,994 38, while the expenditures during the same period have been $12,243 26, being an excess over the receipts of $3.248 88, exclusive of the Treasurer's commission, which has not been included in the report, as the Treasurer elect has been absent and not yet qualified. The Treasurer's commission will amount to about $260, leaving about three thousand five hundred dollars as the total amount of city scrip now outstanding. Thie debt can be liquidated in the course of the next fiecal year without resorting to oppressive taxation. There is still something due upon the property tax, and the amount which will be collected from licenses and fines will rather exceed than fall short of the amount collected last year, The late Board of Trusteer have had many A'fficulties to contend with in administering the affairs of the city. In entering upon the discharge of the duties of their office it was their firm determination that the expenses of the city should be pa‘d in cash, and that no d bt should be left for their successors, But in consequence of the several calamities which befel the city, this determination could not be carried out without seriously endangering the future prospects of the place. The bridge at the foot of Main street and the one over Little Deer creek were destroyed by the fire of last July, and the Broad and Pine street bridges were so much damaged as to render it dangerous for teams to pase over them. It was necessary for the prosperity of the town that these bridges should be repaired and rebuilt. Attempts were at first made by the property holders more immediately interested to do the work by subscription, bot this plan was found impracticable, and contracts were therefore let out by the Board of Trustees, who were compelled to issue scrip in payment, Three of these bridges were again Wao are Resronswix?—The Journal in its wrter to be at iadependent of politics ws is con ception of the true interests of the people will permit, gets off a furious article against the Democratic party of this State, and closes by asking, ‘to whom is the State debt of $4,000,000 to be charged?’* In answering this question we should charge the late Know Nothing party with considerably more than their share of the debt, considering the length of time they have been in power. The debt, admitting it to be $4,000,000, has accumulated at the rate of half million s year since the State government was organized. The Know Nothing Legislature the year they were in power appropriated about five hundred thousand dollars more than was received into the Treasury for that year, and the amount stolen by Dr. Bates, their Treasurer, will swell this sum to over three quarters of a million, to say nothing of the outrageous State Prison contract which they made with Gen. Estell, by which the State was to pay $600,000 in five years for taking care of the convicts, and which has yet got to be paid. The abuse of John Bigler is too hackneyed a subject to be of much force. He was Governor of the State for four years. and had his recommendations been carried out during that time, at least one half of the State debt would not have been contracted. The statement that he let a contract to Vassault for building a State Prison, for which the State was to pay over a million of dollars, isa pure fabrication. Gov. Bigler never made such a contract. The contract was let out by Commissioners appointed by the Legislature, As for the warrants drawn by Controller Bell, for building the State Prison wall, and for supplies for the convicts, it may be well enough to state Nhat they have never been paid, and their registry was ordered to be cancelled. although it is well known that the prison wall was built and the supplies actually furnished. Even if they should eventually be paid, the expense of the prison was less while under the control of Gov. Bigler, than the Kuow Nothing Legislature the next winter contracted to pay to Gen, Estell. We shall not . pretend to say but that Democratic officials may have been guilty of delinquencies in discharging the duties of their offices; but if any of them have ever been guilty of stealing money out of the State Treasury, they were too smart to get caught in the act. The Journal's “conception of the true interests of the people’? consists in the defeat of the Democracy, aud the elevation to power of some other party. CommutatTion.—The Governor has commuted the punishment of Chas, F. Blair, convicted of the murder of » Chinaman, and sentenced to be hung, to imprisonment for life. Considerable dissatisfaction was manifested in Shasta, ou receiving the news that the sentence was commuted. They cannot, however, blame the Governor, for a petition was presented to him with sixteen hundred signatures, among whom were the Senators and Assemblymen of Shasta and Siskiyou counties, praying for a commutation of the sentence. It seems that public opinion, in that section was divided as to whether or not the man deserved to be hung. Cantvorxta State Recister.—Col. Parker H. ewept off last winter by the breaking of Laird’s . French bas issued a prospectus for the publica reservoir, and the other considerably damaged, tiou of a daily paper with the above title in and for a few days after this accident, there was . Sacramento, It is to be Republican in politics. no means hy which teams could get in or out of town, in going or coming from below. As e00n Saturn To pe DeLvoep.—The discovery has as practicable this damage was repaired. The . recently been made that the rings encircling amount expended on bridges alone by the corporation has somewhat exceeded five thousand dollars; and if we add to this the sum expended in grading the streets and building the city priaon, it will be seen that one-half of the expenditures for the past year have been of an extraordinary character, the necessity for which it is to be hoped will not again occur, Besides the amount expended by the city for the rebuilding of bridges, it is proper to add that the county Supervisors have appropriated twelve hundred dollars out of the county road fund to assist in their construction, The money was given in charge to the Board of Trustees, and by them strictly applied to the objects for which it was appropriated. A small. but efficient, police force has been kept np during the year, with the view princi pally of guarding the city against accidents by fire in the night, and the attempts of incendiaFora few months four men were under pay in this department, when the number was Particular care has been taken to select proper men for policemen, and as a general thing it is believed they have faithries, reduced to three. fully discharged their duties, There are those who have been disposed to cavil and find fault with the members of the late . Ww. A. Buster, the late d Board, and their motives have to some extent been impugned by political opponents. A temporary excitement was raised last winter, and an attempt made to get the charter repealed. For the purpose of getting signatures to a petition for this purpose, a ridiculous rumor was put in circulation, that the Trustees were voting themselves money and drawing pay for their services, and many actually believed this report to be true. In letting out contracts for work, the Trustees may possibly in some cases have given more than they could have got the work done for; but their acts on the whole will bear the closest serutiny, and we believe every unprejud’ced person will now ray that they have managed the affairs of the city with ae much prudence and economy asa man would ordinarily use in the management of his own private affairs. More than this could not be expected. Tue Comet, which is to knock our little planet into nonentity on the 13th proximo, has become a standing subject for newspaper “leaders’’ in this State. The sober arguments which are being adduced, ostensibly to allay apprehension on the subject. oniy have a tendency to increase the excitement. If newspapers really wish to keep down excitement, the proper course to pursue is to say nothing about the matter, For rus Gapspen Purcuasx.—A company orgauized in Stanislaus county, bave recently left for the Gadsden Purebase. W. D. Kirk, late Sheriff of the county, is in command of the company. which is well supplied with horses, the planet Saturn are of recent origin and composed of water; and that in the course of twelve years they will “close in,’ and the before mentioned planet will experience a very “heavy wet” similar to “our” deluge. Humanity, of course, will create a great deal of sympathy for the unfortunate inhabitants of that planet; but as we have no means of assisting them we might as well rest easy on the subject. DiscuarGep FRoM Perretvuan IMpRIsONMENT.— A Chinaman named Ab-Tunk, was recently discharged from the Sacramento jail by Judge Heard, on a writ of habeas corpus. He, had been convicted and fined for gambling before one of the county justices, and was ordered to be imprisoned till the fine was paid. Ashe had no money, the sentence amounted practically to perpetual imprisonment, Democratic Triumrus.—Elections were held in Stockton, Oroville and Benicia, for city officers, on the 4th inst. With one or two exceptions, the Democratic nominees were elected, The fragments of the so-called “People’s” party were completely routed, Tak Deravutrer’s Doow.—Oun Wednesday last, efaulting Treasurer of Sonoma county, left the place of his official rascalities under escort of an officer, and has, ere this, entered upon his eight years’ residence in the Penitentiary. ae a te Sacramento Vanier RaLroap.—From a report published by the Superintendant of the Sacramento Valley Ruilroad, it appears that the earnings of the road, for the month of April, after deducting all the current expenses, was $10,500. If this is a fair exhibit of the mouthly earnings of the road, the stockholders in a short time will be receiving dividends on their investment. Tue Mystery So.vep—The mysterious disappearance of the two blacksmiths, at San Francisco, noticed on our first page, has been accounted for, They have turued up in Oregon. From a letter written by one of them, it would appear that inability to pay their debts was the cause of their sudden departure. THEATRICALS IN THE NortTH.—Mrs. Estelle Potter, with a talented company, has been playing for some time past in Shasta. They were to have left the first of this week for Weaverville, McGowan’s troupe were playing last week to good houses, at Red Blufls and Tehama. For Governor.—-It is said that Col. BE. D. Baker will be the Republican candidate for Gov. * ernor. He is doubtless the strongest man that party can put up. Col. Baker was born in EngJand, and one object in putting bim up will be to catch foreign votes. on a nm 0 ee ee es Miss Arpertine.—This sprightly actress drew mules; &c. They expect to join Crabb’s party . , full house on her re-appearance at the Forin abont six weeks. rest Theater, Sacramento, on Thureday evening. 2 Wacow Roap Cosventions.—Parties eeverally interested, have held wagon road conventions at Sacramento, El Dorado, Mok. lumne Hill, Marysville, and other places, in order to bring their favorite routes into notice. These conventions are not likely to accomplish anything. The Marysville corvention appointed twelve commissioners to locate a road through Plumas county, leading directly into Marysville. The Butte delegation, considering their county thrown off, withdrew from the convention, and went home. Their action was endorsed by the citizens of Oroville, and acall was made for another convention on the 23d instant. The Butte Record is particularly severe on the Marysville convention, and charges that seven of the twelve commissiuners are interested in toll roads and bridges below American Valley.— There are so many conflicting interests to be consulted, that it ishardly possible for anything to be done this season towards improving auy of the immigrant routes over the mountains, Almost every mountain county has the best route, and of course will do nothing to help improve the others. Crossino Tue Pains.—We learn from the State Journal that a party of western people are preparing to start from Sacramento in a few days for the eastern States, across the country. The enormous rates of fare now charged on the steamers, is the principal cause of their taking this route. In the party there are several ladies and children. There are some thirty in all; all of them have crossed the plains and some of them several] times, They hope to get through in about seventy days and spend several days at Salt Luke City in that time. The gentlemen who are in the company are very certain that they will be able to sell their mule teams at the eastat nearly their cost, and are sanguine that their journey, at the utmost, will not cost them over $100 for each adult. Owing to many favorable causes the journey is made with much less fatigne and privation to meu aud animals, . aud in much less time, than in coming from the East. The party will take the old Carson route. It is thought that companies will be starting across every weck for some time, either through to Missouri or to Salt Lake, Jam Detivery.— Ou the 7th inst. four prisoners made their escape from the El Dorado county jail. The names of the fugitives and description of their persons areas follows :— Stanlvy, 5 feet 10 inches in height, sandy complexion, brown hair, well dressed. Wm. O'Neil 5 feet 5 inches in height, ruddy complexion, thick set, and an Irishman by birth and speaks with a little brogue. Tall, 5 feet 11 inches in height, weighs 170 pounds, down cast look, grey eyes, shabbily dressed, no heels on hie shoes, and has the general appearance of a thief.— Williams, 5 feet 7 inches in height, weighs 150 pounds, fair complexion, full face, speaks rapidly, For the apprehension of each of these, Sheriff Corsen of El Dorado offers $100. Sticks To rr.—The Journal of Friday denied the statement made by the Union some time since, in regard to several prominent Know Nothings having met in secret in Sacramento, and concluded to support the administration of Mr. Buchanan, The Union haa since corrected its statement so far as the secresy of the meeting was concerned, but in other respects, the account appears to have been correct. We regarded the statement as reliable for the reason that the Union isso bigoted in its opposition to the Democracy, that it would not be likely to pervert the truth in order to make a statement favorable to that party, although it frequently does so for the purpose injuring it, In this respect the Union very much resembles our neighbor of the Journal. VoLcano.—The Washington Republican says that a mountain to the southward of Steilacoom supposed to be Mount St. Helen’s, is to be seen from the Nisqually Plains in a state of eruption. It has for the last few days been emitting huge volumes of dense smoke and fire, presenting a grand and eublime spectacle. AvsTRALIAN Goip Supments.—According to the Australian News the total amount of gold shipped from the port of Melbourne for the year 1856 was 2,857,109 0z., which at $17,50 per ounce, amounted to withina fraction of $50,000,000, Extarcep.—The Sacramento City Jem has recently been enlarged. It is now just half the size of the Democrat.

Assavrt to Murper.—The case of Sam White, ind cted for assault with intent to kill William Flowry, at the Sutter Armory. Sacramento City, on the 18th of June last, during the height of the Vigilance excitement in that place, came to a termination in the Court of Sessions on the 5th inst., resulting in the acquittal of defendant, Ixptan Reservation.—At present, there are four thousand Iadians about the Nome Lackee Reservation, in good health and contented.— There has been two thousand acres of wheat sown, which promises to yield a fair average crop.

Who threw an ax at the villlan’s head. The ax wissed him, but he dropped the girl upon the road and fled as fast as his horse could carry him.

Accipents at Grass VaLiLry.—A man from Boston Ravine, winle riding out of town, vu Sunday evening last, was thrown from his borse aud falling upou bis head produced a violeut concussion of the brain, from the effects of which, he expired ou Thursday. Cuarles R.chards, of Boston Ravine, accidentally shot bimselfon Monday through the left thumb with one of Allen’s Revolvers; the ball carried away most of the nail and joint nearest to it, thereby tiflicting a very painful but not

dangerous wound. Mr. Pierce, of Pike Flat, fell into a shaft about thirty feet deep, on Moaday last, aud caused the complete dislocation of ove of the epine, and the partial dislodgemeut of two others, His right arm aud left leg were ecousider. ably bruised. Tis cure is progressing finely, As ove of the workmen to Larimer’s Quartz mill was attempting to “hang up’? a stamper on Thursday last, the wheel suddeuly started and put in motion the cam shaft: the cam came in contact with the stamper in such a mauner as to throw the lever, which the mau was using, against his head with such violence as to produce a serious concussion of the brain. The injury, tiough severe, itis hoped will not be fatal, Mr Charles Duke was considerably injured this morning, while in a shaft some twenty feet dvep, by the fall of a piece of timber from the top. which struck his right shoulder blad:, while he was ina stooping position. He was j able to walk to his lodgings, but soon after found himself unable to breathe, except with great dfficulty, and one of his arms becoming benumbed, ind cated injury of the spine and muscles of respiration.—G. V. Telegraph of Suturday. Se ates Tunare Counry.—A_ correspondent of the Mariposa Gazette, thus writes from Visalia, Tulare county, April 27th: The agricultural portion of this county, which has heretofore been looked upon as a forsaken country, has improved witbin the last seasou at least 100 per eeut.
