Leter From cniifornin.

The steamer Sierra Nevada arrived at
New York, April, 18th, from San Juan,
with 2ss passengers and 100000 m
gold,
The steamers Winfield Scott. Califor-
MIA, Tennessee, Few Orleans. and Con
stitution, with numerous sailing vessels,
were at Panama, all bound for San Fran
cisco. Prices of passage to San Francis
co were very low, and passengers scarce.
The advices from California were to
March 18th. There were symptoms at
San Francisco of serious difficulties regar-
ding Sonora. A French expedition which
left for Sonora short time ago for the
protested purpose of making new gold
discoveries was really bent on revolution
izing that country and establishing an in
dependent government, with no idea of
being annexed to the United States. The
Californians are much annoyed at this
movement and talk of getting up an expe-
dition of 1000 Americans to drive out
the French. The inhabitants of Sonora
are anxious to be independent.
No further serious damage is apprehen-
ded from the flood, as the waters are SUBJ
siding,
A duel was fought at Sonora Costa, on
the 18th, between David G. Broderick
and Judge Caleb B. Smith. Six shots

of KY. John b. Summers. of Ohio. and
jeremiah +. Goodwin, of Wolfboro, N. H.,
died at Contra Costa. of eating poisoned
mushrooms.
An indignation meeting was held at Sa-
cramento in opposition to the bin recently
passed i'll the House, relating to contracts
of labor with Chinese emigrants. The
bill was denounced as intended TO intro
duce system of quasi-slavery. and as an
outrage upon the rights of the American
laborer, The bill passed the House after
violent opposition by a vote of 80 yeas to
90 nays. 1t is thought that the bill will
not pass the Senate, or if it does that the
Governor will veto it.
Mr.. Van Buren, had introduced reso-
luton in the Senate approving the com
promise measures.
The clipper ship Northern Light was
engaged to proceed to Acapulco after the
passengers of the North America.
James Stewart of Tennessee, was drown
ed at Twists Flat.
The steamer Tennessee brought down
$4,000.
Northern intelligence makes it almost
sure that the schooner Exact, from Ore
gon, has been lost with all her crew.
The Vigilance committee met at San
Francisco on the evening of the 10Th, at
which $50 members were present. Their
proceedings were necessarily secret.

EMGGRANTs FOR LtBERtA,-It is believed
that the emigration to Liberia this spring
will be unusually large. Over twenty
have applied from Pennsylvania to the
New York Colonization Society for passa-
gcs, and as many from New Jersey have
secured passage in the Liberia Packet,
to sail from Baltimore. The New York
Colonization Journal says;
" In our own state an unprecedented
number are rolled to 60. 1t was intended
to send about seventy this month, but the
early departure of the brig Zeno, did not
allow sufficient time to make the necessa.
ny preparation, and the expedition will be
delayed until the middle or close of May,
when, by arrangement with the American
Colonization Society, the vessel which
sails from Baltimore May LIST will come to
New York, and be ready to sail by the
18th of the month with those who may be
ready to embark"
A colored man who purchased his free
doom in Maryland in 1914, and is now
the owner of fine little piece Of property
in a free State, has offered to sell it a.
$3.50 cash, in order to enable him, with
his two brothers and their families, now
in this State, to go to Liberia.-Bah. Sun.

How TO JUDGE CATTLE In all domes-
tic animals, the skin, or hide, forms one
of the best means by which to estimate
their iattening properties. In the hand>
ling of oxen, if the hide be found soft and
silky to the touch, it affords a proof ten
dency to take meat. A beast having a
perfect touch. will have a thick, loose
skin, floating as it were, on a layer of
soft fat, yielding to the slightest pressure,
and springing back towards the finger
like piece of soft leather. Such skin
will be usually covered with an abun>
dance of soft, glossy hair, feeling like a
bed of moss,-and hence is even termed
messy skin. But thick>set, hard, short
hair, always handles hard, and lndi-

something moving about, which would
alarm the birds. | accordingly tried the
plan. and found that no bird, not even the
most fool-hardy of them, dare come near.
