CALIFORNIA.

From S%n Francisco, Culifornis, our accounts, ex-

tmOing to the Ist of June, are of a very remarkable
character, apart entirely from the enormous and in-
creasing amount of remittances reported from Panama.
Large quantities of gold, extracted from the quartz near
Sonora by the very simple process of crushing the rock
with a hammer, were arriving in San Franci,co, and
operations on an extensive scale with powerful machinery
had been opened. Nrvuda journals contain the following
strikine, reports of the progress of machinery in that

cl•stlict:—
" There are BOW two steam quarts crushing-mills in
successful rperation, and five more in process of erection,
one of which is to be started to work in a day or two,
this latter by Messrs. Collins and Cropet, having six
stamps, each weighing 650 pounds, and working to-
ge+hor in a common trough, which is securely built of
the most solid materials, and capable of withstanding
any force that may be applied, and calculated to crush
about LO tons of quartz per day.
" Mr. Abbey's mill was the first one which was set
to work, having now been in operation since about the
20th of February, and dues a Lair amount of business.
About a mile and a halt from Urass valley, and near
Opbir-hill, a mill is being put up by Messrs. Richardson
and Sowers, with a prospect of doing a very good busi-
ness when once in operation.
" The heaviest machine in the valley is now in pro-
cess of erection for Judge Walsh, and is expected to be
in operation by the Ist of June. The mill is to com-
mence work with a battery of 18 5501 b. stamps' calcu-
lated to pulverize 40 tons of quartz per day. As the
business or the mill increases, the batteries are to be in-

creased to 40 stamps.
'• On the Ist of June it is expected that the mill of
rs. Peck and Co. will also be in operation, driven by
an engino of 30 horse-power, and running 20 stamps of
5501 b. each. These will also be worked on the improved
trough or ' box principle.'
" The Sacramento City Company, Colonel J. Hays
and Company, will have their machinery in operation
within a few days, driving the stamps in two equal

batteries."
The .Stockton Journal learns that the quartz veins a
Carsom's Creek are yielding immense returns. It says—
" In one place the workers took out 901 b. of pure gold
in one day. In three days the same party took out 150,b.
of unalloyed ore. To those who are sceptical as to the
value of the quartz vein* with which the whole section
of the San Juaquim district is diversified, this account
may appear somewhat exaggerated; but, from the au-
thority on which we give this Extraordinary news, we
can Wily assure all doubters that there is not more truth
in the meet ord,nary and well attested every-day occur-
rences than theta is in our statement."
A San Francisco journal says—
•4 We were shown yesterday, at the office of Moffat
and Co., some 501 b. of geld specimens, brought from a
;old mine iu Calaveras. They had been hammered le:
naffed out of the quartz rock, aud, trona their appearance,
the rock must be the richest we have yet seen. Indeed,
the wealth of this mine appears inexhaustible.
" The stockholdsra of the Deseret Mining Company
have just held their annual meeting at Los Angeles.
This company are now in active operation at their mine,
about 250 miles from Los Angeles, and have two mills
at wolk. Two shafts have been sunk, one 40 and the
other 16 feet deep, aud about 150 tons of rock have been
thrown out. 15 men are employed, and preparations
are being made to erect more mills. The company is
very sanguine of success, aud have exhibited some beau-
tiful specimens. They have, as yet, had not difficulty
with the Indians at their mine, although some of their
prospecting parties have been charged upon by the
Utah* who, discovering them to be Aaiericans, treated
them with the utmost kindness."
Letters from Downsieville, dated May 19, in the San
Francisco papers, add—
" Dry diggings are numerous and are being discovered
in every direction, and almost every new strike' is
richer than the last. Dorgan's Flat, opposite the town,
has turned out over 200,000 dolls. within the last two
months. One cloim, belonging to some gentleman from
Pittsburgh, having yielded over 12,000 dolls., and was
sold a few days since fur 6,000 dolls., cash, and has al-
most repaid the purchasers already. I have seen 2,100
dolls. for one day's work for two men—all large, coarse
gold. Large deposits of quartz have been found be-
tween this place and Indian Creek, which prospects'
very large from the specimens brought in. A quantity
has been sent to Nevada to be experimented upon, and
but little doubt exists that it will pay at least 50 per
cent. Miners are urrivirg in large numbers every day,
and many arc leaving here with their 'piles' for home.
Living is cheap: fresh beef, pork, flour, butter, Sze.,
plentiful and cheap, and but few who board themselves
spend more than 1 doll, per day."
From other sources we extract the following addi-
tion *1 items:—
" Rumours have been rife of late that the veritable
'Laguna d'Oro' has been found. Whatever may be the
cute, near Rich-bar, on the North Fork of the Feather
Raver, another bar has been struck, where 700 claims
were taken up in one day, and those who had gone to
work were getting from 10 to 50 ounces per day. This
intelligence, from such good authority, can hardly be
doubted. The neighbourhood is known to be one of the
richest, 43 men out of 400 having gone home this year
with fortunes after a single season at Rich-bar.
"There is a prospect that as unusual quantity of gold
will go forward from this city by the steamer of the 15th.
Freeman and Co. have already received more than
60,000 dolls., and their entire shipment will probably
exceed 100,000 dolls. The price of dust at present ie
not considered an inducement to sell, and the miners
rather prefer to send it on themselves to getting less than
16 dulls. per ounce, even it it is almost one quarter black
sand. The uccounts of further rich discoveries near
Weaverville iuchne Us to the opinion that the Cayota
diggings are likely to prove as extensive in this region
emigrants from the Celestial Em-
utlhaitsiuciaityis likely to be a rapidly in-
within the last week. Toss
thousands of these holiest sins
industrious people will be among us in two or three

y ears more. 11l all dumeetic pursuits their services are
not surpassed, while in the mecnanic arts their habits of
imitation make them apt scholars. There is no doubt
but thet extensive contracts will be entered into to bring
the Chinese to California, and their services will be
chosen here fur any and all duties to which they are
suited. As the opposition among the Celestials to emi-
at we may expect to find them x t end -
in rgc their journeya
to the Atlantic board, and more im-
portant results than are now anticipated will follow from
ziin w
this movement. In the sugar and cotton fields of the
tomb it is wore than probable that this labour could be

used as that of slaves, whose cost of keep-
ing s a
farsprogfiretslyabter than the economical Chinese. There
i
are many strauge things in the future, which the Ame-
rican o California promises to hasten before
our e
Chinese have only led the way. The
Jupau, u •

soon follow in their match."
011 other petota the San Francisco journals contain
little intelligence of interest. San Francisco was rapidly
recovering from the effects of the late destructive con-
fl,grEcion; three-fourths of the streets devastated were
-,gain rebuilt, and business was resuming its usual course.
Stockton also had made considerable progress in re-
building; and, as regards the markets, neither of the
dieasters bad had the effect on prices which was antici-
pated, the vast quantities of goods on shipboard and en
route being more man adequate to meet the demand. Of
affairs in the interior the Alta California says:—
" The Whig and Democratic parties have each made
their nominations, and the contest for State officers and
Cougrese is now fully opened. The Whig nominations
were made with much unanimity. and probably the De-
mocrat* will give quite as undivided a support to their
nominees. Rumoars of Indian difficulties and skir-
misning in the northern part of the state are rife. The
despised Indians have proved themselves not lacking in
courage, and it is to be deeply regretted that a few indi-
viduals have had the power and want of principle which
has made a war with these wretched creatures quite pro-
bable. There never has existed in the nature of the case
any necessity for such a deplorable condition of things.
'rho prospects of agriculture aro very good—much better
than was at one time anticipated. The late rains have
materially increased the probabilities of good crops.
This employment of a portion of our citizens is certain
to be an increasing and profitable one. The Indian Cem-
missioners have met with excellent success in their
efforts to pacify thelndians,and only need the sustaining
arm of Goveinment at home, with reasonable appropria-
tions, to render the State and nation a most excellent
service. The first execution under the laws of ibis
state took place in Stockton on Thursday last. It was
ter murder. Crime has been considerably checked of
late, and there is some hope for a better state of things
iu future."

THE " OLD CITY GAS LIGHT COMPANY."--The
" Great Central Gas Consumers' Company," the " great
central" Example of independent self-supply by " gas con-
sumers," has sunk from its great central position into a mere
addendum to the "Old City Gas Light Company," having
nu sooner ove-come all the strenuous endeavours of the said
company t bl,ckguard it, to obstruct, and to strangle it,
than it has !alien into the open arms of this its bitterest
enemy unable to stand alone, we presume, atter so much
exhaustion. Our opinion of such amalgamations has been
often enough expressed. Negotiations such as these have
never yet had 'he public good as their real object or result,
however obvious it may he that one consolidated company
could (if it would) supply that public at a cheaper rate than
while in competition as two distinct establishments. The real
object is a fancied interest in sacrificing the public's ultimate
hopes by preventing the further reduction of prices conse-
quent upon a continuance of competition with each other.—
