The Export of Gold from California.

From the San Francisco Herald June IL
The total shipment of gold dust appearing upon
first quarter Of 1852, was $7,7l0,932, Of which
$7.277,5 500 was taken by steamers to Panama, and
Sa52,103 to San Juan del Subtitle remainder,
SlOo,729. was carried by sailing vessels to Hong
Kong, Valparaiso and other ports upon the Pacific.
As an indication Of tho large amount taken by pas
sengers, which does not appear upon the shirs'
maniests, we may adduce the fact that the ship
ment from this port to Panama and San Juan during
tho month Of February, was, per records, only
SLs57.5!2 while the coinage Mt the various mnts
during March, within which month the gold ex-
ported from here in February would reach the
Atlantic cites, amounted to Si,93 .sU2. The diff
ference OF course not all taken by passengers,
but large portion of it undoubtedly was. The
manilests Of the Panama steamers show ship
ment of s5,4l9 SIT during pril, Sc. 1869 during
May. and 81 92O ,466 in June--making Sl6,50l sal
for the first five months and u haf of 1862.
This does not include the amount manifested since
March for any other port than pana ma--thc amount
taken to various Pacific ports during the year and
not returned to the Custom House, tho large
sums taken in TIC hands OF passengers. The last
steamer, tho Tennessee, carried 81, 800, ,466-the
largest amount taken by any steamer this year.
The total Shipment for June will probably reach
$4,000 eco, which will inercase tho export. exclu-
svo ofto heavy unascortained items above, for the
first half year Of 1852, TO i92sl, ,iis. This is at
the rate of S:,3 j62 $50 for the year. During the
year 1851, the deposits of California gold Mt tue
mnts amounted to $50 93S, 2}2, being $l1,375, $50
moio than the estimated for the present year,
the supposition that the export of tho last half
shall not exceed that of the first half Of the year.
This difference viii be more than made up by tho
sums carried in the hands Of passengers, without
taking into consideration the increased export

The Merccd Indian Troubles.

Under the head of another Indian war, tho san
Joaquin Republican, of the 18th Of June, publishes
the following items Of intelligence in relation to the
late Indian disturbance on tho head waters of the

A party Of eighteen miners left Coarse Gold
Gulch about the middle Of May, prospecting

were suddenly surrounded and attacked by a largo
body Of Indians belonging to the Yoosomoty tribe,
who killed two of thCir number, named Rose and
Shurborn, and woundng one, Joseph Tudor The

out of order After travelling five days without

the I'd inst, in an almost famished condition. A
party Of forty men immediately mustered and start

The departures have been more than usually few,
probably not exceeding 300, leaving n net in
Of May. II we make allowance for the numbers
brought by vessels over and above the law allows,
which, not being returned, are not included in tho
above, the real increase Of population will fully
reach 10000 for the month. being at the rate of
l20 GOO for the year. When the immense number
Of emigrants crossing the plains begin to come in,
this average will he fully sustained. We may
therefore safely estimate that the population Of
California will be increased 100000 during the
present year.
One painful fact noticeable in connection with
the emigration last month, is tho unusually great
rumber of deaths that have occurred on the pas
sage. The mortality on passenger vessels has been
great beyond all precedent, nearly l50 deaths hav-
ing taken place.
