ARRIVAL OF THE ALABAMA.

The steamship Alabama, Capt. Forest;
which left Chagres Oh the 25th ult., ar
rived yesterday morning. BY her we
have received San Francisco paoers OF
the 1st September. The Alabama left
at Chagres, the steamship Empire City,
for New York. Capt. Forest reports that
the health of the Islhmus is improving
The Alabama brought large number of
passengers, whose names will be found
In another column. There were three
deaths OIL board during the passage from
Chagres. The San Francisco Herald
furnishes the following summary of the
news from the 18th August to the close
of that month:
At the departure of the last steamer,
the sqnatter troubles in Sacramento were
at their height, and the intelligence will,
no doubt, have produced in the United
We are happy in being able to state that
the disturbance almost wholly ceased after
the first outbreak The first accounts, as
is usually the case, somewhat exaggerat-
ed the number both of the killed and of
the combatants The squatters fled in a
short time after the first difficulty in the
streets Some of the ringleaders were
arrested, and they are now awaiting their
trial, in prison. A few days after the
firht in Sacramento. Sheriff Mckinney
was killed in attempting to arrest man
named Allen, one of the leaders of the
squatter party. Allen. though wounded
in The ;.tfray, succeeded in making his
escape, and is now in the vicinity of
PlacerviIle. Rumors prevail in Sacra-
mento that band of some 400 armed
men are now in the vicinity of Weavers-
vile, preparing to make descent on
Sacramento, for The purpose of securing
the prisoners The authorities, although
not attaching much credit to this story
have sent spies out in that direction, and
have redoubled 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 OH the occasion of the outbreak,
must have convinced the infatuated men
that successful resistance TO the law is
entirely hopeless. We are glad to say
that the wounds received by Major
Bigelow in the afray are not likely to
terminate fatally. 1t is said that his
entertain new hopes of his
recovery.
The arrival Of a gentleman 10y the last
steamer charged by Mr. Ietcher, our
Minister at Mexico, with a mission in
re gard 10 land titles in California, has
served TO give much confidence to pro-
perty owners. 1t is the belief of this
agent that most of the grants made by
the Governors before the acquisition Of
California TO the United States, will I've
confirmed by our Government on the evil
dcnce Mr. Leicher Is prepared 10 furnish
from the official records in the city Of
Mexico as to the invariable practice OF the
Mexican Government in this particular.
The excitement against the foreigners
IN the Southern mines has subsidized, aud

nee of unboluded success. Several
companies have recently been started for
he purpose Of crushing the quartz rock,
and several crushing machines have been
ordered.
Business, hitherto backward, have
rivcu some indication of improvement.
In Sacramento there is a decided brisk
ness, and in this city their is every reason
10 believe there will be great activity Id
he course of two weeks. The appear
ance of the city is much improved by the
ine rows OF buildings lately erected, and
The streets are i'll progress of repair. The
rreat cost of freights, as well as the eX-
penses of building on the site OF the re-
cent coniiagralion, have rendered money
for some time scarse. bat the gold dust
begins to come i'll from the mines, and 1t
will doubtless, from this time for The re-
mainder Of the season, CONTINUE to How
in abundantly.
The emigrants continue to arrive III
large numbers, and for the most part in
great destitution. Meetings have been
held in all the principal towns for the
purpose OF affordIng relief, aud trains have
started with provisions to succor the way
farers. The movement has been general

that the products of the collection will
be sufficient to relieve the distress I'D
