News Extraordinary from California.
We encounter the following letter in New York
paper. Il must be read to be appreciated. What
ever doubts may be entertained of the other accounts
we have had from Sacramento, il will hardly do for
any doubt this. Some may laugh at it but
their laughing cannot but be good in these cholera
times
