Important from California.

A telegraphic despatch to the Baltimore
San, dated New Orleans, Jan. l l, says:
The steamship Crescent City arrived here
yesterday from Chagres, from whence she
sailed on the 4th inst. She has on board
one hundred and twenty-six passengers
including Lieut.. Gov. Mason.
She brings accounts from San Francis
CO, to the 1st of May, which represents
the gold to be as abundant as ever, and
that operations to gather new crop were
about to commence in good earnest, the
wet season being nearly over. The pop
ulation of San Francisco was rapidly di'
minishing. the males especially being on
their march towards the diggings.
The steamers Oregon and Panama had
sailed from Panama for San Francisco, ia.
king ON board all who were waiting at thai
point, leaving the city quite deserted.
The Crescent city brings about one mil
lion dollars worth of gold dust, with
number of the fortunate owners of it.
Mr.. James Sinclair, who was returning
home from California with large fortune
that he had accumulated, was taken sick
and died on board the Crescent City,
She brings nothing new with regard to
the Provisional Government, and the re
ported difficulties with General Persifel
Smith.

Reflections on the late Foreign News.

The radicals or Democrats in the new
French Convention, are In fact the practi-
cal majority of that body, because they are
the only united and effective party in it..
They can therefore mould the measures of
the government in such way as to carry
out the pledge made in February, lS4S, in
regard to Italy; and thus save Hungary,
Italy, and France, all at the same time
If the latter interferes as the friend of the
Roman Republicans, then the war becomes
a general war; and three countries with a
united population of eighty-three millions,
are enrolled in the Republican ranks, and
opposed to the despotism of Russia and
the monarchy of Austria. If France does
her duty all will go well. Italy is in a
blaze of energetic and enthusiastic revolt,
and the predicted determination has alrea-
| dy taken place between her own troops
and the citizen soldiers of her sister repub-
lie. Hungary occupies her Businesses on
| ly to hurl new destruction upon the intru-
ders' columns. Both will therefore be a
BILE to hold out to the last; but there mus
be no mistake about the course of France,
And there will be none ifonly the radicals
in the Convention move quickly and uni
tedly. Upon their prudence, and the
promptitude of their movements, every.
thing may at last depend. . We look fol
their decision soon.
Ireland presents hopeless spectacle
and starvation has led to excesses before
which Humanity weeps. When will thi:
unfortunate country be released from the
triple sufferings of Famine, Misgovern
ment and internal Dissensions?

Dreadful Steamboat EXpIosion---LOSs of Life.

LOUISVILLE, June 10.
The stea mboat Embassy collapsed both
fues of her starboard boiler, below Green
River, on Saturday morning.
A number of the crew and deck passen-
gers were killed and blown overheard by
the violence of the concussion.
Twenty-eight others were severely
scalded, some of them so severely, that but
slight hopes are entertained of their recov-
cry.
The killed and wounded were chiefly
deck passengers.
None of the cabin passengers were IN
jured.
The number of killed has not been as
certained.
The cook was drowned and the second
engineer badly scalded.
The boat was much shattered, and short
ly after the lamentable disaster, was tow

The scene on board was of the most
lheart-rending description.
The Embassy was from Pittsburg, and
bound to ST. Louis.

Go TO Funerals.

A superanuated servant, who had resi-
ded for some years as boarder at the
Asylum of Loches, died there a week or
two since. Being Catholic, she had re-
quested that her remains should be carried
to the cemetery of the chapel of Chaufat.
According to custom, the Catholics of the
locality were invited to accompany the de-
tunct on her last journey. The weather,
on the day of burial, chanced to be very
unpleasant, and only six accepted the po-
lite lnvitation-two of these, turning back,
when half way there, discouraged with
the mud and the prospective inducements.
The four persevering mourners, saw the
body laid in earth, and then went to the
sacristy, at the invitation of the curate, to
hear the reading of the will of the deceas-
ed. What was their surprise to discover
that the will bequeathed twenty thousand
dollars to be divided among those who
should follow her to the grave! The will
was in good form, and the money safely
invested in the Savings Bank of France

What the Wings Think Of Il.

1--WE learn from a personal friend OF
Mr.. Senator Mangum, that that distin-
guished gentleman has addressed letter to
Mr.. Ewing, deprecating the extent to
which removals from Office is carried, and
admonishing the Secretary of the Interior
that 'this is not the entertainment to which
we were invited We are disposed to
credit the statement from our personal
knowledge of the magnanimity of Mr..
Mangum, and his aversion of the party
doctrine of rewards and punishpents, on
the naked ground of a difference of politi-
cal opinions. But Mr.. Mangum, is more
of statesman than politician, and does
not feel the hungry pressure upon the de-
partments. ".-Washington Correspon-

ADDITIONAL.

The latest intelligence from Rome states
that the Constitutional Assembly, having
essentially rejected the proposition of NJ.
Lasseps had given authority to the trium-
virate to treat again, and that the triumvi-
rate proposed to the French Plenlpoten-
tiary the following conditions:
lst. The people shall again be called TO
exercise their sovereignty by means of uni
versal suffrage.
2d. The Austrians, Neapolitans and
Barisoras shall all Immediately evacuate
the territory of the Republic, as universal
suffrage would be mockery, under the
pressure of foreign arms.
Sd. The French shall move away from
Rome.-The Republic, always generous
and fraternal, will grant them place fol
garrison exempt from fever, where they
shall meet reception-they shall remain
their friends, but not their protectors; fol
the democracy of Rome will constitute its
elf without foreign interference.
1t was also understood that deputatior
had been sent to Zecta with proposals tc
the Pope TO return, under very limited anc
and temporal rule, and with the total ex
clusion of Cardinals from all politica
power.

1t is said that the service in which they
are engaged is extremely distasteful to the
French troops, and that disertions are very

RIOTS.

We learn, although unable to get the en-
tire particulars, that the Irish, engaged on
the Pennsylvania Railroad, from below
Union Furnace in Huntingdon county, to
Ants township, in this county, under the
several contractors, have been engaged in
the most serious riots during the past week
A large body of Irishmen met in mortal
combat, armed with rifles, muskets, pistols,
and bludgeons of every description as their
weapons, creating terror to the peaceable
inhabitants, and wounding, and we believe.
taking the life In some instances, of the
different combatants. They also destroy
ed, by burning and tearing down, several
shantys, and assaulted Mr.. Gillespie, con-
tractor, so severely, that his life has been
despaired of for several days.
The peace of this community was dis
turbed on Thursday evening last, by sn
armed force entering the town, of some
twelve or fifteen persons, having in charge
six or eight Irishmen, who had been en-
gagged in the riots. They were taken be-
fore Esquire Cox, and after an investiga-
ton, committed to the county Jail to await
their trial. We understand that several
others have been taken to Huntingdon and
committed.
This outrageous and unjustfable con-
duct, should lead contractors, and others,
to use the most coercive measures, that
this high-handed and lawless conduct may
be speedily brought to close, as the lives
and property of innocent and inqffensive
men are daily at the mercy of these des-
peradoes in human shape. Every effort
should be made to stop it peaceably, if pos.
sible; but forcibly, if necessary.-HoHi-

of the Army, we believe, fell victim to
cholera in New Orleans, on Wednesday
last, after two days illness. His name
is honorably associated with nearly the
whole history of the service which his
skill and courage have done so much to
illustrate. He was a native of Virginia

ant of Infantry, and was soon after sent to
the South as a Military Collector of the
district of Mobile. He first distinguished
himself by the arrest of AARON BURR, and,
IN consequence, the entire defeat of all the
ambitious plans by which the Union was
threatened with dismemberment: for which
he was promoted to Captaincy.
During the long interval between 1904
and 1912 he engaged in the practic Of the
law in the South, but at the commence
ment of the war with Great Britain he a
gain buckled on his armor, and signalized
our Arms at the battle of Chrysler's Field
at the North in 1913, as Colonel Of the
25th Infantry. For his gallantry on that
occasion he was made Brigadier-an
honor soon followed up by the higher ap-
pointment of Brevet Maj. General, won
| by the defence of Fort Erie, in August
1914. Twenty-Five years afterwards, in
February, 1886, he fought his last battle
on the Withlacoochie, in Florida, with the
Seminole Indians. Gen. Gaines was also
with Jackson in the Greek war, and there
as in every other field, was honorably dis
inguished.-Philo. San.
