LATER FROM CALIFORNIA.
ARRIVAL Oh THE CHEROKEE.


stored-The Mines Highly Pro-
ductive-Gred Wealth at Hum
bolt Bay.
Some noise was being made in
San Francisco about the Raelejo
route, and it was supposed that the
Northerner and Republic would
land some 200 passengers there, who
preferred that route to the one by
Panama.
The news of the death Of Presi-
dent Taylor reached San Francisco
on the 24th ult. 1t was received
with every demonstration Of sorrow;
and on the 30th, appropriate public
funeral ceremonies were performed.
The Sacramento difficulties have
been settled, by the dispersion
OF the squatters. The report
brought by the last steamer, Of the
burning of Sacramento. proves to be
pnfounded. In the different melees
between the citizens and rioters,
there seems to have been killed on
the part of the former, Sheriff Nc
Kinney and Mr.. Woodland; woun-
ded, Mayor Bigelow and Capt. Rad
ford, and of the squatters, George
w. Henshaw and Madison Kelly
were killed. Allen, the keeper Of
the house from which the shot was
fired, fed, after being dangerously
wounded. He was pursued and
captured. His wife had been dam
gerously i'll for some time, and died
from excitement during the affray.
Politically and socially all seems
10 be going on smoothly in Calilor-
MIA. The accounts from the gold
mines are highly encouraging. One
man, at one haul, took out a forty
pound lump of pure gold, on the Yu-
ba, about fourteen miles from Marys'
vile.
The gold mines in the vicinity oI
Humbolt's Bay, the Alta says. are
perhaps at the present time fully as
rich as the most profitable deposits
in California YET known.
On the Trinity, Shaste and Kala'
nah Rivers, thousands are at wort
with extraordinary average success
and new diggings are almost daily
opening.
The regular mails are on board o
the Georgia.
There was no cholera at the 18th
mus, or along the coast.
! As TO the Markets, San Francis
co paper says:
"Since the steamer Of the 18th
we notice a great apathy in our mar
ket generally, which can be accoun
ted for by the large stocks Of good'
on hand, and the scarcity of money
Lumber still continues very abun
dant and scarcely averages the price
Of freight. We heard of one salt
of rough lumber, afioat, as low a
$3.50 per M"
The SACRAMENTO RIor.-We fur
nish such information relative to tht
disturbances in the Sacramento cit!
as is supplied in the papers.
