FROM CALIFORNIA.

New YORK, April 22, p VI.
Files of the "Californian" have been received,
with adyices from Montery to the 28lh Of Janua-
ry. In regard TO the recapture ofthe city Of An
gelos, that paper says, Commodore Stockton left
San Diego on the 29th of December, and reached
the San Gabriel on the 9th Of January.
The enemy numbered 500 mounted men, and
four pieces of cannon were strongly posted on
the north side of the river. The Commodore
and his men crossed the river steadily under a
heavy fire, and by gallant charge the position
of the enemy was carred-driving its defenders
into confusion On the 9Th, another rcncounter
took place on the plains Of the Mesa, near the
city, and lasted one hour, Gen. Flores and his
men fighting bravely. They were put to flight
and on the 10Th the Americans entered The city.
The loss of the Mexrans not known. The
loss of the Americans not more than 90 killed
and wounded in both actions. Gen Kearncy
had previously had an affair at the San Pascual
in which he lost II men, one gun and some
mules.
After the recspture Of Los Angeles, Col. Ere.
mont made a treaty with Don Andreas, which
put an end TO the war. Flores and other officer,
had gone to Sonoro, but were expected 10 return
when they heard of the treaty.
The Californian expresses a conviction that
! there will not be another outbreak.

Of acrolnes in that neighborhood. In one in

and resembling mass of sui pher, in its descent
went through large tree, crushing it TO atoms

HIGHLY IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE
FROM MEXICO.

We have news from New Orleans TO the Esd
Apri, bringing Vera Cruz dates TO the l4'h.
An express had arrived at Vera Cruz from Gen
Twiggs, stating that Santa Anna was in front Of
him with large large lorce-as near as could
be calculated by active and accurate reconnois-
sance. estimated at from 10000 to $4,000 men.
Lieut.. Col. Johnson was severely but not NOR
tally wounded.
Everything goes to show that Santa Anna is
determined to make bold stand.
A dragoon who had been sent down express by
Gen. Twiggs, had been shot.
The Mexicans were playing a bloodier and
bolder game than is usual for them. Ii is thought
that they had killed at least so Of our men in
three days.
Gen. Scott will probably reach Gen. Twiggs
by the 18th, but if Santa Anna is in force as re-
presented he will not probably attack him for
two or three days.
Twiggs' column had fallen in with large
force of the enemy at Cero Gordo, strong Po-
silion beyond Puerto Macdonald. A skirmish
had taken place between our advance and the
Mexicans, in which Capt. Johnson, OF the ToPo'
graphical Engineers. was very severely wounded
Others were also wounded.
Half an hour after the reception Of the news
Gen. Worth mounted his horse and started of
10 the aid of Gen. Twiggs.
There remains no doubt at all, that Santa An
ma is on the road to Jalapa, with from 10000 tC
$4,000 men.
Ii is conceded on all sides that if Twiggs doe:
not defeat, he will at least check Santa Anna un
Ill the arrival Of Gen. Scott with the main body
ofihe army-which will be by the night of the
18th.
Gen. Patterson left with two brigades Of vol
unteers on Friday, and has doubtless, by thi
time, the l4th) formed junction with Genera
Twiggs.
No fears were entertained for the safety o
this latter officer. He has $500 men under hi
own command. Before this, Gen. Patterson ha
reached him with the brgodes of Pillow an,
Shields, and all the dsposabIe force of the arm.
has either already joined him or is on the marcI
Tor that purpose.
Gen. Scott was very we'll satisfied, before hi
departure, that Santa Anna was in the neighbol
hood of Jaapa.
A large detachment of the squadron had lei
the Vera Cruz anchorage, on the l2th, for an eS
peditlon against Tuspan. As resistance was eS
Ipected, the Commodore commanded the eXped
tion in person. Tuspan was stated to be defend
ed by 20 900 men, under the command of Gen
Cos, and by 80 pieces ofcannon, all seryiceabl
b ut three.
The vomto has not yet made itappearance.
The Vera Cruz eagle" of the 18th says tha
the reports relative to the strength and position
ofSanta Anna were fully credited.
Gen. Patterson had recovered from his indis
position, and was at the head of his division.
The prevailing disease at Vera Cruz was tn
Diarrhea. Great numbers were sick.

Cotton was more firm than had been though
prices had not varied. The demand however
was steady through the Bib and 9Th
Corn was in more demand, also, and large pur'
chases were made after the Cambria left with in
creased prices.
There was an increasing business in Flour

their entire contents. The pork house is estima-

VIRGINIA ELEcrIoN.-The fog which so long
obscured the result of the late election in the
Old Dominion, is not yet entirely disslPa'ed'-
The contest in some of the districts has been so
close that the result will not be ascertaned until
the votes are reofiicially canvassed. From the best
information within our reach, we incline to the
opinion that the Wings have elected six men,
bers of Congress, and the Locofocos nine; being
Wing gain of five members of Congress. The
official returns may give the LocOfocos ten
members, but not more. The Locos have saved
three members by less Than 1870 votes, to witt
Mr.. Atkinson by 10; Mr.. Bocock by l2, and Mr.
Dromgoole by 10. OF the twelve districts from
which we have authentic information, the Whig'
have elected five, and the Locos seven, leaving
three districts yet in doubt. In one of these oP
pearances are favorable to the Wing candidate
the other two we suppose are Locofoco.
In the Legislature the Wings have thus tal
gained fifteen members, and lost six.
