Arrival Of the Crescent City.
ANOTHER MILLION IN GOLD.

FROM CALIFORNIA AND THE IsTHMUs.
Steamer Crescent city, from Chagres Oct.
2, arrived at New York at o'clock on Fri
Gny morning, with $72,5O0 in freight, and
o4S PASSENGERS, who are supposed to have
million IN gold dust. She does not bring
the California mails.
AT Cruces and Panama II i. beal,bv
The lsthmus roads to Cruces are in berter
condition. The Gorgona road is also better.
No cases of cholera have occurred for the last
two weeks at Chagres.
The Philadelphia arrived at Chaure. on
the 7lh. The Tennessee arrived a, Panama
on the 4th with one million dollars on friegh,
$50 passengers, and the U. S. mails. She
left San Francisco the 18th. The Ecuador
lett same day with 60 passengers. The 18Th.
mus was 10 sail from San Francisco on the
Goth.
The history Of the failures is given in the
Alta California of Sept. o.
we regret that our columns TO day must
contain the announcement of the assignment
of Henry NJ. Naslee, one of the Oldest of our
bankers. This, i'll connection with the other
stoPpages and assignments which have re-
Gently been made, caused quite panic yes
terday, and there was general run upon all
those having money on deposit. The first
run commenced on Thursday, and was con-
fined almost entirely TO the banking house Of
Jas. King, of William. The drafts ON that
banker were very heavy on that day. On
Friday, very little was drawn from him, the
Tide having set against Messrs Burgoyne Il
Co., and Henry M. Maggie. and continued all
that day. On Saturday morning, at 8 o'clock
Mr.. Naglees doors remained closed, while
the other houses opened. He had suspend
ed.
The consequence was an immediate rush
10 Burgoyne Il Co.. James King, Of William
and Wells & Co. Depostors drew very
freely from the two former, who paid out as
fast us possible converting all hands into
paying tellers. There was not SO large a
call on Wells & Co. though large amount
was paid out by them. 1t being the third
days probation of Mr.. King, the crowd with
him was not so great as might have been ex-
| pected.
AT Burgoyne e. Co.'S there was large
crowd the whole day, resembling more the
gathering a the post office on the arrival of
mail steamer than anything else we can
compare II TO. MIR. Plums acted like man
and banker who understood his business.
he posted up a notice that he would keep
open to accommodate the public until six o.
clock, ian hour later than usually and also
that his bank would be open on Sunday
We admire the spunk which dictated these
offers.
The crisis then has come. Only one
banker has closed. The Others have met
the emergency promptly, and they will con-
tinue 50 TO do. We will venture the remark
that Messrs. Burgoyue & Co.. James King,
Of William, and Wells & Co, will reap an
abundant harvest from this trial. Mr.. King
paid over $3.50, 900. Burgoyne & Co. paid
much larger amount.
The Alta California Of the 18th, says
The shipment of gold from this country
during the month of August exceeds that Of
any other month since the discovery OF the
mines. The amount is almost incredibly
large, verging on three million dollars. This
sum has been regularly manifested, and is
exclusive OF the parcels carried through by
private hands. The following exhibits the
amount by each steamer;-August Is, per
Carolina, SI50,000; per Columbus. $3.50, 900;
August 81. per Oregon, Sl,500,000; per
Nor,herner, $3.50, l24. Total S2,339,l24.'
From the mines generally the accounts
are satisfactory. improvements were rapid
y going OF in San Francisco, and business
was assuming better lore. The city treas
uIy would soon be repleblshed.
Rain had fallen at San Francisco, Stock
ton, San Jose and other places, which indi-
Gates that the rainy season is near al hand.

success. y large quantity of the rock has

mining reglon.--Sockton Journal.
