by the Falcon at New Orleans
The steamer Winfield Scott was al
Tobago, waiting for engines, before
she could proceed on her voyage.
The health Of the lsthmus is good
very few cases Of fever, and no
cholera.
A military force has been organi>
zed under the direction oil General
Paez, which is Of great benefit to
passengers crossing the lsthmus.-
The natives are not allowed to carry
arms OF any description. General
Paez and his officers deserve great
credit for their vigilance and prompt
ness in suppressing murders and
robberies.
There had been some serious dis
turbances between the bOatmen on
the Chagres river and the laborers
on the Panama railroad. Attempts
had been made to burn the bridge at
Gatune, and some property was
destroyed. In another difficulty the
rioters took possession Of BaIbacoa,
and declared that the construction Of
the road should not be further carried
on. A posse Of soldiers had been
sent after them.
The Panama railroad is in good
order, and the cars run twice a day
TO BarbacOa. Kingston is quite
healthy-no epidemic prevailing.

ger, and Francis Hunt, fourth as

Summary OF News.
From the san Francisco Whig, Oct. 1.
Since The sailing of The last
steamer nothing Of Importance has
occurred. The news from the in
terror, relating to mining affairs, is
somewhat uninteresting, owing TO
the scarcity OF water. Large num-
bers of miners, however. are in The
expectation Of doing a good winters
business, dating from the rainy sea
son.
On agricultural affairs, the returns
from the inferior are interesting
The annual agricultural and hOrli-
cultural fair at Sacramento is now
being held. Among the prizes to be
awarded are eighty silver cups and
gobleis; and to those accustomed To
American and European standards,
the weight and dimensions of some
of the vegetable specimens are
almost incredible. We have not
space TO refer TO these at length
Among the most attractive features
of the fair is a grand ploughing
match, at which many OF the promi-
nent farmers OF that section will take
part.
The health Of our city continues
to be good. Comparatively few
deaths have taken place, and the few
cases Of cholera have readily yielded
10 medical treatment.
The United States land commits.
sioners are in session at Los Angeles.
Among other important claims be-
fore them is that Of Col. Fremont.
The immigration is fast coming in,
and the reports Of sickness and priva,
ton on the plains are heart-rending
in the extreme. The relief train
sent out by the State TO their as
sistance have been guilty OF the
meanness Of selling them food and
water.
The health in some portions Of the
mines is bad. AT Burton's Bar,
Park Bar, and OusIey's Bar, several
cases of sporadic cholera have &C.
CURED which have proved fatal.
The latest dates from Oregon are
TO the 18th inst. A newspaper has
been started at Puget Sound called
The Columbian. Coal has been dis
covered in large quantities at Puget
Sound. .u r

the same spot as the above.
