Steamer Pacific, N. o., Feb. 9th,
P. M.-The steamer Pacific from
Chagres, has arrived. bringing $50
passengers; We therefore have dates
from California up 10 January lst.-
Horace Smith is elected mayor at
Sacramento. Fremont has publish
ed an address to the people Of Cali
fornia. Murders abound in San
Francisco and other cities and towns,
and great excitement prevails on
account Of the crimes lately perpe
irated, Steamer Confidence, from
New York, has arrived from San
francisco. The Custom House of
Monterey has been robbed oil S2O,-
600.
The Georgia left Chagres on the
2Sth. Every means in California is
taken TO Induce miners to flock TO
this or that district--Traders have
goods to sell, land owners have city
lots, and gamblers active; nine out
of ten persons are disappointed here
in their expectations. News from
Rio Of Dec. 2lst, state that the u. S.
ships ST. Mary and Congress are in
port, officers and crews all well.
There is a great excitement on
our levee to-day, as a large crowd
are awaiting the arrival of the Fal-
con with Jenny Lind on board
She will meet a most fiattering re.
ception here by both the northern
people and warm-hearted souther-
ners.
BALTIMORE, Feb. 7th, P. M.
Savannah news states that Capt.
Rhodes, Of Schooner Worcester, re-
ports having seen on Thursday last,
while off Cape Hatteras, hull OF a
large steamer apparently blown up,
as all the upper works were gone;
fragments of the wreck, furniture,
chairs, tables and other articles indi-
eating an elegantly furnished vessel,
drifting about in every direction
Captain Rhodes thinks that if the
vessel be wrecked, it could have oc-
CURED but a short time before he
came in sight OF her, as the fragments
did not appear 10 have been long
in the water. He distinguished
among the floating articles a board
painted with a time piece upon it,
surrounded with line Of gilded let
ters; he could see no one in the hull,
which had sunk to the waters edge,
and it appeared TO be going down
slowly. He is unable TO conjecture
what craft it could be, entertaining
fears that it may be the Cherokee,
which formerly run between New
York and Savanna. 1t is known
that the Cherokee left New York
with II passengers for Chagres on
Tuesday, Jan'y 2Sth, which would
have made her due off Cape Hatteras
on Wednesday night.
The steamers Prometheus and
Falcon, also left New York for the
same port, on Mopday, it is possible
that il may be one or the other Of
them. The probability is, that it is
one of the New York and Chagres
steamers, either on her outward or
homeward trips, as there are no other
steamers answering Capt. Rhodes
description, that could have been in
that latitude.
