My last letter to you conveyed the mournful in
telgence of the dreadful ravages of the cholera in
our city; since then all signs Of the disease have
entirely disappeared. and the city has again become
healthy. We have the most delicious weather
that think ever experienced either in the States
or in Europe; the mornings cool and pleasant until
ten O'Clock, then slightly warm, just enough so
TO make it comfortable until shutdown; then fine
cool nights TO sleep. II man takes the slightest
care of himself In this climate, he can always
keep healthy, never going out In the morn
ing early the air of night without 0vercoat,
warmly clad-many Of the deaths that have late
ly taken place have been through the grossest inn
prudence. Business is reyiving more and more
every day, and the miners are now coming IN, hav-
ing fear of the cholera, 10 lay in their win
ter supplies before the rainy season sets in; al
though am informed by the "oldest habitant,
with whom am intimately acquainted, that il will
not rain until after the holidays. The three largest
gambling saloons, which have been closed tor three
weeks past OIL account OF the want Of patronage,
opened on the evening OF the 18th for resumption
of business; and can assure you they have been
we'll attended. We are now in hopes that our city
will resume its general healthiness, and that we
shall be tree from disease for some time TO come.
The trial of Robinson, Caulfield, McClatchy,
and Others the squatter rioters OF the l4h August,
whose trial was set down for Saturday, the 10th
instant, at The great town of Benicia, has been
postponed until the next term OF the Court, To be
holden In April, 1851. The trial was put Oft OF
application of the counsel for the defence for the
reason, as given, that material Witnesses on their
be halt were assent-not because they were TAR
away from the of the trial, but from the fact
that No energy had been used by the defence TO
procure their witnesses, many Of them walking
about the streets in this city, uasubppnaed, and,
matter OF course, not rendered liable 10
attachment for contempt of Court.
To sum il up In very few words, the amount Ut
the business Is, there will not be anything done
with these men, who, for fancied, and, yet,
unproven right, and from the very worst counscls
OF others, al home and abroad, through private
communication, and through the medium OF presses
devoted 10 their cause, would steep their hands IN
the bleed OF their fellow man and neishocr The
matter will gradually cool off. Oae witness will
go one way, and one another, until they all dis.
appear and the rioters, knowing these results full
well, feel themselves secure, and; through their

and sold through the streets by McClatchy, will

of anarchy and rebellion, bidding defiance to the
laws, and paving The way for greater and more
heartrending scenes of bioodshed and murder,

Party lines have, al last, been drawn in this Sec
ton OF California, and pretty tightly, TOO; and no
man can receive a nomination unless he IS purely
wing or democratic; everything, now, from con-
stable up TO the President of The United States,
must have his certificate Of partizanship. lndepen.
dent and stump candidates will be among the things
that were. The two great parties have lately held
meetings, and the immediate organization of the
parties aiken place, and the first great contest be-
tween the two sections will be the election OF a
candidate TO the Assembly in the place OF l.. K.

The cholera; he a wing, and the polite of the

made TO Clay ana Fillmore was received with
thuniers OF applause, and every ye or ten minutes
the speakers would be interrupted by some patriot

The return Of the census OF this city and county
has been handed in by the Assistant Marshal, Mr..
w ". Johnson, 10 which much useful Information
~ given, and the wealth and resources OF our city
made apparent. The census was taken ia this city
when the cholera was at it's height, and is not, on
that account, as full II Otherwise might be; but
.liii the result very gratifying to those who take
any interest IN the welfare and growth OF The
place.
The number of inhabitants taken 10 the city
