the morning of the 18th inst, from Chagress, via.
San Juan Nicaragua, having left the latter place on
the 4th inst. She brings passengers and news from
San Francisco to 18th July, two weeks later than
previous accounts
She brings 800 passengers, and 100000 in gold
on freight and 100000 in the hands of passengers.
The Pacific left San Francisco the 18th and ar
rived at San Juan on the 10Th. The passengers
travelled fifteen miles by land and then proceeded
in steamer across Nicaragua Lake and down the
San Juan river. Her passengers expressed great
satisfaction with the new route
The only event of interest at San Francisco had
been the conviction and execution by the vigilance
committee of desperate character named James
Stuart. He was hung at two o'clock on the lth at
the lower end of Market street wharf, in the pre-
sence of 1000 people.
At Sacramento, Marysville, Stockton and other
places the citizens have been compelled to act IN
their own behalf, the laws being inadequate. and
their execution inefficient. The hanging of Stuart
had created great excitement and the conduct OF the
committee had been severely reprehended by the
court and city authorities. The people generally
sustain the acts of the committee.
The vicinity of Rogue's River and the Klamath re-
gion infested by hostile indians, who are well
