Synopsis OF Events.
Our city is built up again In our last issue for
the States, we told of its destruction-now, of its
resurrection. Some plants take root and sprout
upward in such hurry that they bring the old
shell of the germ whence they sprung upon the
upshooting stalk, the bulb husk still clinging to it.
So IT is of our city. She has sprung up from her
ruins literally with ashes upon her head, standing
upon embers. We have streets again, blocks again,
houses, stores, business, excitement, hustle, pro-
gress prosperity Three fOurths Of the streets
line again with habtatons, although not four
| weeks have elapsed since the fire.
So too, is it of Stockton. Accounts from there
are very encouraging. Her people have not been
disheartened by their great calamity, but have pro-
crossed very fair in remedying by building, the de-
struction of their great fire.
| These two fires have not had much effect as
was anticipated, in raising prices, account Of the
great quantities Of goods on shipboard and large
cargoes which have arrived since.
The wing and democratic parties have each made
their nominations and the contest for State officers
and Congress is now fully opened. The wing
nominations were made with much unanimity, and
| probably the democrats will give quite as undi-
| vlded support to their nominees.
| Very encouraging reports come in from the
various mining regions, and the amount Of dust
| shipped home, shows that mines have not
given out nor run short, notwithstanding the dry
| winter.
Rumors of Indian difficulties and diminishing
| in the northern part of the State are rife. The
despised Indians have proved themselves not lack
ing in courage and it is to be deeply regretted that
few individuals have had the power and want Of
| principle which has made war with these
wretched creatures quite probable. There never
has existed in the nature of the case any necessity
for such deporable condition Of things.
The prospects OF Agriculture are very good,
much better than was at one time antic pated The
late rains have materially increased the probabilities
of good crops. This employment of a portion OF
our citizens is certain to be increasing and pro-
fable one.
The Indian Commissioners have met with ex-
cellent success in their efforts to pacy the Indians
and only need the sustaining arm OF Government
at home with reasonable appropriations, to render
the State and nation most excellent service.
| The first execution under the laws of this State,
took place in Stockton on Thursday last 1t was
for murder Crime has been considerably checked
of late, and there is some hope for better state Of
things in the future.
