than our previous advices. The Alabama left
in port, tor New York, at Chagres, the Steam>

the steamship Georgin, for New York. 1t
will be seen that upwards Of two millions oil

Panama: what portion of that the Alabama

is improving. There were three deaths, from
various diseases, on board the Alabama during
her passage from Chagres.
The following general summary oil the news
for the fortnight intervening since tho previous
advices were taken from the San Francisco
Herald of tie 3lst Of August:
At The departure Of The last steamer the
quitter troubles in Sacramento were at their
height, and the intelligence will, no doubt,
have produced in the United States much alarm
and CONSERVATION. We are happy in being
able to state that tie disturbances almost
wholly ceased after the first outbreak. The
first accouns, as it is Usually the case, some
what exaggerated the number both Of the killed
and oflhe combatants. The s~quatters fed in
a short time after the first difficulty in the
streets. Sumo Of the ring .leaders were arrest
ed, aud they are now awaiting their trial in
prison. A few days after the fight in Sacra-
mento, Sheriff Mckinney was killedin attempt
ing to arrest a man naaied Allen, one OF the
leaders Of the squarter party. Allen, though
wounded in the ARRAY, succeeded in making his
escape, and is now in the vicinity Of Placer
vile. Rnmors prevail in Sacramento that a
band Of some 400 armed men are now in the
vicinity of Weaversvill e, preparing to make a
descent on Sacramento for the Turp 'se OF Sc
curing the prisoners. The authorities, although
MT attaching much credit to the story, have
sent spies out in that direction, aud haye re-
doubled their precautions. 1t Is Improbable
that any attempt will be made, however, as the
demonstration made by the citizens OF both
Sacramento and San Francisco on the occa-
sion of the outbreak, must have convinced the
Infatuated men that successful resistance to
law is entirely hopeless. We are glad to say
that the wounds received by Mayor 8igelow
in the ARRAY are not likely to terminate fatal
ly. 1t is said that his physicians entertain now
hopes of his recovery.
The arrival Of a gentleman by the last steam
er charged by Mr.. Leicher, our Minister to
Mexico, with a mission in regard to land IL
Ties, in California, has served to give much
confidence to property owners. 1t is the be-
lief Of this agent that most Of the grants made
by the Governors before the acquisition Of Gals
i~,ornia by The United States, will be confirmed
by our Government on the evidence Mr.. Letch-
er is prepared to furnish from the official re-
cords in the city OF Mexico, as to the invarl.
able practice Of the Mexican Government in
this particular.
The excitement against the foreigners IN
the Southern mines has subsidized, aud the as.
sassinatiOns have almost wholly ceased. A
large humber of Chilians and Mexicans have
left the county In consequence Of the law
compelling them to take out licenses TO mine,
and business in the San Joaquin district has
suffered in consequence; but, nevertheless. the
mining operations are still prosecuted with
industry and success In the Mariposa mines,
steam machinery has been brought into requi-
sitiOn in crushing the quartz rock, ard the re-
suit promises amply to reward those engaged
in the enterprise. The Stockton and Aspln-
wall mines have been sufficiently tested to give
strong assurance Of unboundsd success. Sew
eral companies have recently been started for
the purpose Of crushing the quartz rock, and
several crushing machines have been ordered
Business, hitherto backward, has given some
indication of Improvement. In Sacramento
there is a decided brisknesa, and in this city
there is every reason to believe there will be
great activity in the course of'two weeks

The great cost Of frelghts, as well as the ex-
