I R ON CALIFORNIA.

The steamer Falcon arrived atNew Or

She brought Sl690s5 in specie and gold

mail. She made the passage from here to
Chagres in seven days, and remained there
a week, during which time it Tained inces-
sanity. The lsthmus is generally healthy,
though at Chagres there was much sick
ness. In an American population at that
town of thirty-five, thirty were i'll or just
recovering from fever. The disease is of
malignant intermittent character.
The steamship Oregon left San Francis.
co on the I'd Of July ard arrived at
Panama on the 21st of the same month
On the 4th ult. at half past II o'clock A.
Nj. she struck three times on a rock at
Port Conception. The shock was very,
great, and the vessel so much injured that
she leaked during the whole passage. At
the last accounts she was at Fobago Island
repairing damages, and will not be ready
to resume her trips before the goth inst.
She brought down about seventy passen-
gers, most Of whom took passage on the
Falcon for New Orleans and New York.
Capt. CrowningshIeld, U. S, A., died of
aPoPlexy on The passage, on board the
Oregon.
At Panama there were about five hum
dred Americans awaiting transportation.
One half of them were to leave on the
28th uIt. On the barque Tasso 10 sail on

From a gentleman who came passen-

teresting particulars:
The stories of Gen. Smith having to 90

Of troeble With the residents, is all false.
Gen. Smith was well, universally respect
ed and very popular. He had moved his
headquarters from San Francisco 10 Sono-
ra, which is about seventy miles from the
former place. The health of San Francis
CO was good, and the inhabitants of the
town much more orderly and quiet than
could be anticipated. The gambling hous-
es are all closed on Sundays, and the work
Of all kinds suspended, although labor is
worth $40 to SIS per day.
There were four churches already built,
and another was expected soon to arrive
there. There were about two thousand
cloth tents about the town. The Ameri.
cans residing in the city were mostly
highly respectable. Occasionally there
was some slight difficulty between the
Americans and the Malays. The market
was overstocked with goods-dry goods
and clothing selling for less than in the
States. Houses and lumber were very
high, and sold readily. A house that in
the States cost S4O0, end was forty by
twenty feet, would sell for S25OO, and
would cost ST00 to put it up. There
were fifty or sixty cargoes of goods re.
naming unsold at San Francisco. Gold
was plenty; large quantities of ii were
coming in every day. 1t was selling for
SIS per ounce cash, or $l6 in goods
The quantity of gold was considered in
exhaustibIe. There were no troops in San
Francisco, and none were needed.

LOVE ALL.

BY c. d. STEWART.
Love all There is no living thing
Which God has not created
Love all There is no living thing
Which God has ever hated
His love sustains the meanest life,
Whate'er does live or perish
And man may not disdain to love
What God has loved to cherish.
Love all! For hate begetteth hate,
And love through love increaseth
Love all For hate shall faint and fall,
While love like God ne'er ceaseth:
Love is the law, the life supreme,
The goal where all are tending;
The hate shall die, the strife shall cease,
But love is never ending.

man aAoat with money left him by his rela-

one he will lose his badders and go TO the
bottom. Teach him to swim and he will
never need the bladders. Give your child
a sound education, and you have done
enough for him. See to it that his morals
are pure, his mind cultivated, and his
whole nature made subservient to laws
which govern man, and you have given
what will be of more value than the wealth
of the Indies. You have given him a
start which no misfortune can deprive him
of. The earlier you teach him TO depend
upon his own resources the better.

4 Lecture on the Elephant.

Ladies and gentlemen Allow me-, this
evening, to introduce an animal called the
Elephant. He is the greatest of all tread
mill animals that helps TO keep the globe
in molion.-Among the Anglo Saxons, he
Is known only y'the name of elephant !;
but with all barbarous and hall civilized
nations he is unanimously dubbed the
6utfiphGnt. He is about the size of two
year old omnibus, and in color approaches
as near to black as he possibly can with
out absolute infringement, To look al
him not too severely one naturally supposes
him to be a small mountain of India rub.
Der, or huge composition Of glue and mo.
lasses.
The Elephant is one of the natives of
the East Indies, but he has been met with
in various parts of Mexico, and is frequent
ly seen in the great city of New York. 1t
has been asserted upon both righteous and
profane authority, that he is indigenous to
the diggins of Caiifornia-however the
assertion, as yet, goes begging for con-
firmation. 1t is my private opinion,
though, that the animal exhibits himself
to travellers in all parts OF the world, only
they entertain a monstrous reluctance 10
confessing the fact.
He carries his trunk with him wherever
he goes, but never keeps anything in it,
not even change ofshirts. When cousin
lchabod first saw him at show, he ex
