From the Buffalo Express.
FROM CALIFORNIA.
A late arrival at Boston, brings intelligence
from California, up to the 9th of March, the
day on which Stevenson and his regiment ar
rived at San Francisco. We have had these
dates by way of Panama, but that arrival bro't
nothing authentic, or in detail. The difficulty
growing out of the arrogance of Stockton was
seems to have been promptly settled by Gen.
Kearney and Commodore Shubrick. Stock
ton was rendered harmless by the arrival of
Shubrick, who ranked him.
The California Star, published at San Fran
cisco, is full of information, and suggestions,
both public and private, respecting the terrific
ny and its inhabitants. This paper publishes
proceedings of public meetings held at various
points in the northern part of California for the
purpose of nominating representatives in the
legislative council about to be formed. 1t also
contains circular, then just issued by Gen.
Kearney and Commodore Shubrick. Gen X.
was Governor of California, and had entered
UPON Ills uuttS do cuCl. SOiHs SuuuIiCh, az
cording to the present arrangement of the gov
eminent, has command of the Northern Pacific
squadron, and is to have the control of the i'm
port trade of California, and the general super
vision of the American commerce in the Paci
fc. Monterey had been fixed upon by Cover
nor Kearney and Commodore Shubrick, as the
temporary seat of government for the territory.
The point for the permanent seat of govern
ment has not been determined on, and probably
will not be by the existing authorities but
will be left to the people.
The soil, climate, and agricultural capabili
ties of California, are represented by the Star
to be all that could be desired. The average
crops of wheat are from 40 to 100 bushels to the
acre. Irish Potatoes, as good as can be pro-
duced In any part of the world, are raised here
in great abundance-al kinds of vegetables,
and, in fact every thing raised in any coun-
try in the same latitude. The climate is mild
and pnrc, and sickness of any kind is rarely
known in any part of the country, with the ex-
ception of small district on the Sacramento
River.
We observe that in the 18th number of the
Star, in an article on ''The Love of Power"
the editor is pretty severe on Commodore Stock
ton. By wBy of illustration, we quote sample.
"Caifornia has for time past sorely felt the
baneful effects of this ruling passion. When
the United States flag was hoisted here, Com
modore Sloat had sole control of the territory.
He issued proclamation and general order for
the government and regulation OF the affairs of
the country, which, if they had not been dis
turbed, would have been amply adequate to the
exigencies of the times. The love of power,
however, induced his successor, Commodore
Stockton, to set aside these salutary regulations
and institute new order of things. He has
been putting and blowing around the country
| like strained grampus, ever since his arrival,
crackin himself up as the greatest CASE out.
The confusion created by his assumption of
power to organize government, will require
much trouble and time to remove. If he had
not the power, and it seems he had not, he was
only leading others into error by assuming it."
FRoMOEEGoN.-By the same vessel by which
we received the file of the STAR file OF the Or
egon City Spectator to the 10th December was
received by the Commercial Advertiser:
A letter from Quinn Thornton is published
| In I1G kopSCldJOT Ol OeCelliUcI 1OIt udlcu S6I-
Element of the Rickreall, November 3d. and
giving sad account of the ''emgrants by the
Southern route" whom Mr. Thornton had left
in the Umboqua mountan-s' suffering beyond
any thing known. They must perish of hun
ger, he says,unIess supplies were taken to them
Immediately. The editor had learned that a
sufficient number Of horses had been dispatched
| from Champoeg county to bring them in.
The project for railroad to the Pacific seems
to excite some interest in Oregon. The Spec
tator urges the legislature to take some action
upon the premises. by memorial to congress
or approving resolutions. 1t suggests that con
gress be askedfor a steam tug to operate at the
mouth of Columbia.
A Mr.. Lippincott, from the city of New
York, one of those of those 'emigrants by the
Southern route" had been badly wounded in
the knee, in skirmsh with the Klamet Indi-
ans. Two others, one Iowa, and the ether
from Mississippi, were killed in the same affair.
FROM THE SANDWICH IsLANDs.-By the same
arrival from California, we have Sandwich ISL
ands papers of the 18th of January. The Pol
ynesan of that date is mainly filled with ac-
counts of our warlike doings in Mexico and
California.
1t announces, however, the arrival of fifty
barrels of -four from Oregon, which it says
came IN good tlmc-tne numerous hieh-oi-wdr
in the Pacific were seating the Sandwich Is
ianders out of house and home.'
There is some goodnatured banterlng between
the editors of the Oregon and Honolulu. The
former invites the Sandwich Islanders to leave
their homes and settle in Oregon, where every
man Is tandhoder to which the Honolulu
man replies shat the Sandwich Islanders have
no relish for the fogs, and fever and ague of
Ore gon all they ask is that the Oregonians
will send them plenty of flour and lumber. and
take sugar and coffee in exchange.
