The leading event Of interest, aud one
which has been the chief topic of discussion
in political circles during the past fortnight,
is the election for State and county officers,
which was held on the Sd inst. For county
officers the honors are about equally divided.
The returns from several of the frontier coun-
ties have not yet been received, and there is
still doubt as to the result for Governor: The
vote is very close; both parties claim the vic.
tory, and the official returns can alone decide
the question. The remainder Of the Demo
cratic State ticket, including Messrs. 3. G.
Marshall and McCorkle, for Congress are
elected The Legislature viii be Democrat
ic in both branches, and viii no doubt elect
a Democrat to the T. S. Senate, Immediately
after organizing. The vote throughout the
State is small
The Nicaragua route has been opened by
the arrival of the steamer Pacific from San
Juan in little over fifteen days. She left
again for San Juan on the 9th inst
A most important step has been taken by
the inhabitants of the Southern counties, de-
sirous of dividing the State and forming a
territorial governmentfort hatportion. Two
addresses have been issued to secure concert
of action, and convention of delegates has
been called to assemble in Santa Barbara on
the third Monday in October Delegates
have already been appointed to attend from
Santa Clara, San Diego, and other counties.
All the members of the Legislature recently
elected from that section of the State are
pledged to urge division at the ccming SEES
sion.

out the State, and no execution has taken
place, either here or in the interior, since the
sailing of the last steamer The Indians
in the southern part of the State are quiet;
those in the north, in Trinidad and Klam-
ath counties, arc becoming somewhat troub-
lescme
The gold diggings continue to yield rich
returns to the labors Of the miners. The au-
riferous quartz veins arc being extensively
worked, and generally with great success
The amount shipped by the steamer Panama,
which leaves to-day, 81 200, GOO, exhibits nc
falling off in the production of gold in oul
State. In the dry diggings miners are only
waiting forthe rainy season, totakc out large
amounts Of gold.
The election returns are all in, with the
exception Of five counties, and Reading, thc
Wing candidate for Governor, has a MAORI
/ yof 250 votes thus far-the probable vot'
| of the counties vet to be heard from is no
stated, butitis believed that Reading will b
clectcd-he is running ahead of the balanc
of the State ticket The vote is exccedingl,
close. and the official returns alone can dccid
the result. The of the Democratic Stat
ticket runs considerably ahead Of Bielcr, am
arc all elected with the exception possibly O
the candidate for Surveyor General. Mr.
Heron, the wing candidate for this Office
runs nearly as well as Reading.
Prom reliable returns thus far received
