"The Sacramento difficulties have been set
tied, by the dispersion Of the squattrrs The
report brought by the last steamer Of the burn
ing o. Sacramento, proves to be unfounded lr
the different lnclccs between the citizens ant
rioters, there seems to have been killed, on tho
part Of the former, sheriff Mckinney and Mr.
Woodland; wounded, Mayor Bgcow and Capt
Radiord and of the squattcrs, George w
Elcnsaw and Madison Kelly were killed. Allen
the keeper of the house from which the first
shot was fired, fled, after being dangerously
wounded. He was pursued and captured. His
wife had been dangerously i'll for sometime, anc
died from excitement during the atfray.
! "The excitement against the foreigners in
the southern mines has subsidized, and the assas
slnatlons have almost entirely ceased A large
number Of Chans and Mcxicans have left the
country, in consequence of the law compelling
them to take out licenses to mine, and business
in the San joaquin district has suffered in con-

has been brought into rcquusiton in crushing
the quartz rock, and the result promises amply

bounded success. Scvcra, companies have start
ed, for the purpose of crushing the quartz rock,
and several crushing machines have been order

The San Francisco Herald says:
"Thcre are now on the overland route not
less than sixty thousand persons, The first OF
those of who have arrived endured privatons
and sutferings innumcrabe, and it is but natural
to expect that those who come later in the sea
son, will suffer more severely still. The forty
miles of desert which stretch from the base of
the Sierra Nevada, are strcWn with the bodies
Of dead cattle, while several persons have been
found drowned some by accident in crossing
the rivers, and more lamcntablc still, some by
their own act, having been driven to utter dcs-
! PAIR by their InistOrtuncS.
" It is proposed to send out another cXpcd-
| ton, with the view Of establishing a depot Of
provisions at the rdur Of the desert. and a INIT
cd effort is to be made all over the state to aid
in this charitable undertaking. We wish that,
