LATE FROM CALIFORNIA.

The Steamship Pacific arrived al
New Orleans, direct from Chagrcs, the
night of the 5,h inst. She brought
California dates Of the first January,
but no mail. She had 252 passengers
on board. Among the number were
VIM. p. Darnes and G, A. Mantz, who
furnished the editors of the True Delta
with files of San Francisco papers to
the lst. The Herald, of the last date,
prepared fer The steamer, gives the fol-
lowing summary Of news up to tha,
time:
The approaching election Of Sena-
tor still forms tie engrossing subject
Of public regard and attention. AS the
day of election approaches, those who
are really aspiran!s for the Office begin
10 exert themselves, and there are now
seven avowed candidates whose chan
ces of success, although not equal one
with the other, yet are such as to pcrse
we're in the contest. On the Wing side
thero are Edwin Bryant and John
Wethered; among the Democrats are
John Il. Weller, and II. w. HaIIeck,
Solomon Heydenfeldt, John w. Geary,
and John &. Fremont. The rest have
quietly dropped ottand its probable TWO
of those above named will withdraw
before The election. 1t is impossible to
even approximately surmisc the result
Of the contest; should the Legislature
decide that the plurality rule shah gov,
crn, as is not impossible, Wing must
be elected. Should they decide in ia.
vor of the majority rule, there will be
many balloIngs before tire can be
choice. One thing appears as certain
as anything concerning elections can be
that Mr.. fremont IHnst be defeated.
! The strength he mainly relied on is
melting away day by day. TIE vote
Of tie old Caifornans will doubtless
be divided between Bryan, and Hal
leck, aud the members Of the mining
districts will 90 into convention almost
instruced 10 vote against the present in
cum)ent.
The Legislature will meet on the 6,h
prox, at San Jose, but heIe is a strong
feeling in favor of removing the SCI at of
government temporarily TO this city,
The session commences under very EN-.
barrassing circumstances as there is no
money in The treasury, and very little
prospect Of obtaining any.
Should Congress neglect at lis pres.
ent session TO vote the civil fund to the
State, it is impossible for the govern
ment TO get along WITHOUT loan-and
a proposition of that nature must 90
to the people for ratification before the
Legislature can vote il. The constiiu,
ton provides that no money shall be
borrowed except by the first Legisla
Iure, without consulting the popular
. will.
, The result Of the mining operations
E up to this time are at present yielding
less proiitably than during the past sea
son, but it is matter of doubt whether
, The yield Of the next year will not equa

be mined with a great deal of energ,
during The coming spring and summer
and with the aid of machinery ant
J. steam, the profits will undoubtedly b
very large.
