SAN FRANCISCO, Tuesday Nov I, 1853.
Never was more delightful climate permitted any
people than that enjoyed by the people OF this city and
State during the past fortnight The thermometer has
ranged about So in the morning, 10 az noon, ami 90
al evening In this eiy the winter is the most pleasant
portion OF the year. The southerly winds then prevail,
aud We are exempt from the cold chilly damp aud pen
,tratng northern winds OF summer. This is one Of the
most healthy cities in the Union The greatest draw
back is the sudden transitions of temperature, which
are somewhat unayOrabe for those afflicted with pull
mCnary weaknesses.
Tie sonorian fllibusters proved more than a match
for the Federal officers whose duty required them 10
defeat thisinfamousy wicked movement. On the 18th
ul the Caroline cleared for port on the southern
ccast having passengers on her manifest The night
following she dropped down the bay, took on board
large humber and put OIL
The steamer s Il. Wheeler, on the 30th, cleared for
tie Sandwich Islands but from her dimnutvo size, it
was generally considered that tits entry was Custom
House blind She, without doubt, went down the coast
and made for Sonora
About the 25th inst. the steamer Sea Bird which
runs to San Diego as she went out Of our harbor,
locked like a swarmng beehive in July. The general
opinion is that these were Fllbusters. These bucan-
GERS are not satisfied with SOnora-it is altogether too
small territory for the accomplishment OF their grand
and humane purposes Ii Is their design as soon as
their forces can be collected to land at Guayamas the
principal port in Sonora lying upon the northwest
side of the Gull OF California raise with the stars aud
strpes the standard of revolution, adopt for Sonora,
chihuahua, Durango and Lower California, the Decla-
ration of Independence, and then invite the emigration
of cotton sugar and rice planters, with their human
chattelS This movement is backed up by men OF char
acter, influence and position, but It IS sadly dehcent
in that in pOrtant element sometimes den0mnated the
sinews of war" Many of the hackers are fanatics on
the subject of Slavery extension and seem to feel that
they are doing good service To God and their country
by using their best endeavOrs to extend the area OF
freedom" 1t is the intention as soon as demon
stration is made to issue large amount OF bonds in
certificates OF SIS each, TO be sold in the principal
towns and cities OF California, something after the
manner adopted by the great Hungarian, only he was
wise enough 10 issue 81 certificates. There Will be,
without doubt however, large number who will in
vest $25 in favor of such an exhibition even though
the chances OF success were very remote.
Tie recent success of the foreigners in the Sandwich
Islands in removing Mr. Judd from the Kings Cabinet,
has inspired general hope On the part. OF the people
Of this State that there is chance tor the adms-
zion of the Islands into the Federal Union Oar people
look upon the possession ofthese Islands as ndspcnsa-
ble-they would constitute the halfway house to
Chine.
Since the great 6=-le of>the Democratic and Rail
road Convention On the I'd ult, the people have had
nothing TO particularly excite Them till the arrival OF
John Mitchell the Irish patriot and refugee from Aus
traa. On the evening OF Thursday the 18th ult., be-
tween six and hundred Democratic office holders,
Cceseekers ct ID genus 0HHe headed by that misera
bic tool Of public stock brokers' Gov John Bgler had
II
IT, Of Mr. Mitchell, but really to convert John Mitchell
into partisan Democrat and 10 manufacture Demo-
cratic votes. Mr.. Mitchell made long and able
speech which you will find fully reported in the City
papers of the following day Though able, 10 was char
acterzed by spirit Of haughtness, yindctycness and
severity. In calling The Queen "she-tyrant' he
showed very bed taste, 10 say the least
Mr.. NJ Las very faulty delivery. His manner is
slow, awkward and still; bis enunciation indstinct.
But there was in bis speech much to admire. His
style is bold and lofty his thoughts well arranged aud
forebly and clearly presented His style ia somewhat
brilliant without being elegant, and is characterized
BY felicity Of expression. In his descriptions OF
scenes and persons be is graphic and life-ke, He
GELS somewhat in irony and satire. There is frank
end sincerity earnesness and patriotism in his
style ard manner that inspires one with more conf
denee in his honesty and sincerity.
The Nicaragua steamer Pacific arrived last evening,
bringing NewYOrk dates 10 the 9Th Of October We
ust now wait from three to six days for the arrival
of the mails by the other line.
Tie annual war with the poor Indians on this coast
Las commenced. This s, in my opinion, speculation
gotten up by a set of idle and unprinciped chaps who
stimulate by series OF wrongs and ourages the Indians
To and then embark expeditions
to slaughter those who would be peaceful il mild and
gentle policy adopted toward them. Exiravagant
bills are then brought in and audited by the State and
tie General Government is TO be bored until it shall
foot the bills. / am happy to hear testimony to the
energy and good that characterize the policy of
1t Beale, present efficient Indian Agent. He de-
signs TO locate all the Indians in different reserves
far removed from the white settlements possible.
Quartz mining eonnus good and the shipments speak
for general mining The market flooded with goods
enough of almost every thing TO satisfy wants for
x TO twelve months, and yet merchants are shipping
