New ORLEANS, Feb. 6, 1861.
Editor Spirit Democracy:
The steamer Pacific, from Chagres. has
arrived, bringing $50 passengers. We
have California news up 10 Jan. LIST.
Horace Smith is elected Mayor Of Sac
ramento. Fremont has published an ad-
dress to the people of California.
Murderers abound in San francisco,
and other cities and towns, and great ex-
element prevails on account of the crimes
lately perpetrated.
The Custom House at Monterey has
been robbed of $4,000.
Means are taken in California TO induce
miners to flock to this or that district-tra-
ders have goods to sell-land owners have
city lots, and gamblers find dupes. Nine
out Of ten persons are disappointed in
their expectations.
There is great excitement on our levee
to-day, as large crowds are awaiting the
arrival of the Falcon with Jenny Lind on
board. She will meet a most flattering re-.
ception here by both the Northern people
and warm hearted Southerners.

SUPPOSED WRECK OF A STEAMER.

BALTIMORE, Feb. 7, 1851
Editor Spirit Of Democracy:
Havana news states that Capt. Rhodes,
of the schooner Worcester, reports having
seen, on Thursday last, while off Cape
Hatteras, the hull of large steamer, ap-
parently blown up, as all the upper works
are gone-fragments of the wreck, flrni-
ture, chains, tables and other articles, in
dicating an elegantly furnished vessel,
were drifting about in every direction.
Capt. Rhodes thinks that if the vessel be
wrecked, it could have occurred but a
short time before he came in sight of her.
as the fragments did not appear TO have
been long in the water. He distinguished
among the floating articles board, paint
ed with time piece upon it, surrounded
with cone of gilded stars. He could see
no one on 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, but entertains fears
that it may be the Cherokee, which former
ly ran between New York and Havana.
1t is known that the Cherokee left New
York with ITO passengers for Chagres on
Tuesday, Jan. 28th, which would have
made her due off Cape Hatteras on We'd
nesday night. The steamers Prometheus
and Falcon also left New York for the
same port on Monday. 1t is possible that
il may be one or the other of them-the
probability is that il is one of the New
York and Chagres steamers, either on her
outward or homeward trip, as there are no
other steamers answering Capt. Rhodes
description that it could have been.
