Arrival of The Georgia. E3
IdiAYS LATER FROM CALIFORNIA.
NEw Youx, April,7, 9 P. M.
The steamship Georgia, Capt. Porter, ar
rivedj hie evening from Havana, bringire W
- the lifornia mails and sixty passengers, a
bri kht by the steamer Falo.m. Tihe Fat. "
tLoi 1eft Chagros on the 29th of AMarchand a
owiing to tile non.arrival of the mails at 't
Charges, she left before all the passengers Pr
got across. There were a large number ob
of vessels at Havana loading with sugar.
Tlhio dates from Francisco are to
Murch 11th. The Courior says that the 0
ellorts made by time Legislature to elect a c
United States Senator, in Itace of Col. a"
Fremont, have proved inef'ectual. When "
the Convention first met, the prominent
whig candidates were lion. T. Butler g
King and lion. John Wethered, and the it.
democratic candidates were Col. Fremont te)
and Mr. 1leydenfelt. Mr. Wethered
finally abandondd the contest, and it was
narrowed down to the three others
etmQd. After nearly 150 ballotings, the w
Convention finding it impossible to make a P
thoice, adjourned till the 1st of April A
King had tle highest vote on the last ballot,
but-lacked 0 or 8 votes of an election. o
Ileydenfield was the favorite of the 4
democrats. Fremont, who commenced j
ith only a half dozen votes, gradually j,
increased in strongth until, before the Con- j,
veition adjourned, his vote equalled that of a
Heydenfelt. On the last day the latter b
withdrew and Col. Well-r was substituted f
in his place, who received exactly the vote i
borae) given to the withdrawing candidate.
A good deal of feeling existed onl the sub.
ject, and the Senatorial question will enter
lar rely into the next political canvass.
8n Sunday, 23.1 of February, San Fran
cwsc was in a tremendous state of ex
citemnent on account of the anticipated ex
ecution by the populace of two noted
scoundrels, Stuart and Windred, for nearly
mntrdering Mr. latison, a respectable mor
chant of this place, and rohbing him of
32,0U0. A meeting of citizens wts called,
several of our most mituential and wealthy
inen presided, and the prisoners were given
a fair trial by jury; the jury, however, dis
agreed, and the oflicers of justice took pos
scssion of the culprits.
At Sacramento city a similar scene oc
curred, but tihe nflmeiler did not escape so
easily. Frederick Roe, a noted ganiiler, shot
through the head a Mr. Charles Myers for
interfering to put an end to a quarrel in
vhich he was engaged. A meeting of the
citizens was.called, in which tihe most pro
minent. and ifilitiential imen took part.
Roe was tried, convicted, and inl less than
five hours after the conmnission of the
crime, le was hung in the presence of ant
assemblage of thousands.
Bu.'intess was still dull, and the arrivals
at SW4h Francisco of foreign shipping hd
greatly fallen off within the last fortnight.
The miners were doing very well
throughouit the State, anl an increased
:hinount of gold was expected to be taken
out during the coming season.
There has been but very little rain in
San Francisco, though time interior had
been more favored in this respect.
A terrible accident occurred, by which
the -teamboat Santa Clara was completely
destroyed by fire, and the steamer lartford
damaged to tho extent f 880,tt00.
The Satita Clara took tire tist, ani was
burned to the water's edge. Three of the
- *,,Vraw were burned to death, and Mr.
henXmiyt~, one of Lt. owners, narrowly
f caped,. after hen'.jverely hurit.

T.lhe mines hold, as usual, the first placeI
in our sumnary of tnews fromi Californmia
sinice the last mail.
The wveaither ha~s continued, as hereto
fore, remarkably fine, and int numlerouis 1
places in the dry diggimgs, the miners, after I
wvait ing in vain for the expected rains, with
which to wash the earth, have at last set
to work to supply then deficiency by artificial
mneatns.--This hans especilly been the case
in thme northern mines, whiere cainalsi have
* been dug, conduits are made, and mountainst
tunnelled where necessary, to divert thef
water fronm its natural channels, In one
instace, a canal has bteen constructed nine
miles in lengthI, part of which is tuannlled(
through a mounmtain, and there are tnnier. I
ous similar works of smaller dimnensions.
Whierever the miiners have been suc
cessful in bringing water to their diggings,
they have realbzed abundantly fronm tbeir
waushinigs. There was an unusually large I
qumaitiity' of earthi thrown upi in time early
-"palrt of then season, owvingr to the finte weather I
whlicht enabled thme miners to work more
Ea constantly.
There is no doubt that had the country
been favored with an averaige qutantity' of
rain, the prodlucre of gold duet would haive f
beent larger titan the pmrevions winters.
Bunt great number.s of tihe iminiers, findintg
the rain did not come, amnd that the u ivers r
an I streams were unniseally low, have c
abandoned their heaps of dirt, and commen-.
cod working the hats in the streaims',
where they generally realize good wtages,
ail, in some cases, very larre returns. I

mtaiis a report from the Departments of

reference to the German and other polit
al fugitives who have so long found an
sylum in the country, and have at last
ecome the cause ofa serious remonstrance

onsiderably that at present the police re

L1 were expelled tihe territory by name,
mnd ty another of the 19th of November

to enter into a series of tedious legal inquir

The Market.
CoTTo.-The Cotton market was de.
>ressed on Saturday last, and prices exhih
ted a decided downward tendency. The
;ales were limited to 5() bales at extremes,
ranging fromn 8 to 11 5.8c.
GU We understand that on Saturday
last the water in the Wateree Swamp rose
about four inches above the track of the
Camden Branch but not so high as to pro
vent the passage of the cars. A portion of
the embankment of the W. & M. It. Road,
near the jnnction, was swept away by the
freshet. The flood it was thought had
reached i's highest point and would soon
subside.
Serious Affray.
We learn fiom the State Rights Repul.
lican of Friday last that on that morningr a
rencountre occurred in a store in Coluinbia
between Messrs. It. P. MnATANT and JiessE
E. DEXT. in which the former received
several stabs from a pocket knife, and the
latter a contusion on the head from a ham
iner.
IIth were under medical treatment and
were thought to be in a very precarious
