following news from Mexico:l II
/, We have received fun files of Mexican
papers up to the 2Sth of Feb. The news
they contain is important and highly IN
teresting. We translate from the Iran
d. Union, which, being a French paper
published in Mexico, is probably Impair
tial and correct IN its estimates.
The States are fast following the ex-
ample set by Gov. AZcarate, and vote for
Gen. Santa Anna as President. The
Federal district. Queretaro, Michoacan,
Oajaca, 'Tanaulfpas, and Vera Cruz, are
the first six whose votes are known to be
in his favor. 1t is said that San Luis has
gone the same way, but it is not yet con-
firmed; at any rate, if it is not to-day, It
will be tomorrow, and the same of all
the other States and Territories. Jalapa
has Joined its vote to that of Vera Cruz,
and dispatched commission to Santa
Anna, inviting his immediate coming
The Vera Cruz commission is composed
of Senors Francisco Casanova and Man
uel Serrano. Should the commission
from Mexico arrive in time, it will act in
concert with that of Vera Cruz, and pro-
ceed to Carthagena, Kingston or Havana,
or wherever they can find Santa Anna.
No one doubts his early arrival. Once
President by a unanimous vote and IN
stalled in power what will he do? This
question seems to cause some inquietude
to the different parties. The Siglo states
that he has pledged himself to the liberal
party, and will by no means have any
thing to do with the conservative party.
Blancarte arrived at Morelia on the 9th
of February, at the head of 1900 fanatics,
and 13 pieces of artillery of different
caibres The papers announce the in
carceration of many inhabitants on politi-
cal grounds; but it is however probable
that they are by this time restored to
liberty. Many persons in Morelia have
voluntarily made advances to government
to aid in its embarrassed financial cOndi-
ton; the amount subscribed is $9,770.
The inhabitants of Matamoras are in
great excitement on account of the eXecu-
ton of Rufuo Rodriguez. .ue Hsn Il
Governor Vega has recaptured Cuican
and committed great excesses in that capi-
tai. Don Pedro Valdes is making active
Preparations for its recapture. General
Vega demanded an armistice, which was
refused him. ..... ..,A..f
Recent accounts from Yucatan state
that it has pronounced on the plan Of
Jalisco. The people demand the resig-
naticn of the Legislative power in that
State, and that it be held by Gen. Daz de
la Vega. Gen. Vega refused the offer
made him, but did not combat the move
ment. .. A quarrel ensued between Senior
Barbachano, who headed the party for
the Jalsco pronunciamento, and Gen. La
Vega, which resulted in the triumph OF
Barbachano and bis party, and he has
taken the Governorship of the State
The Merida journals also speak of many
advantages gained by the troops over the
Indians

hind in personal appearance, SO far at
least as patent leather boots, white kid
gloves, suits of glossy black, and the
odors of the barber shop could make us.
The music was delightful, the ladies bril-
liantly beautiful, the gentlemen exceed
ingly gallant, the dancing excellent, the
under such circumstances, no one could
be censured for 'srunnlng all night" 'a..
REMARKABLE.-A friend of ours tells us
that Placer county is a remarkable one,
and deserves to be so considered. lie
states that he held quantity Of county
orders which he was anxious to dispose
of, and that he took measures to ascertain
the market value of them without ever
thinking Of presenting them to the county
Treasurer for payment. Accident how
ever led him to do the latter, and to his

DUEL AT MARysyILLE We are in

separate accounts of duel fought in ths
vicinity of Marysville-one received early
in the afternoon, and another by the ten

of both in the suboined particulars:
The parties were VIM. Woodcock and
Mr.. Blackburn-the cause woman
Blackburn was the challenger. The duel
took place at O'Clock on Tuesday morn
ing, near Yuba city. Weapons double
barrelled shot guns. The regulations
were to fire one barrel at the word, and
the other at discretion. Blackburn fell at
the first fire. one slug entering his arm
near the shoulder, and breaking the bone;
another taking effect in the hip. His

them we may name the convention cues.

As the committees have nearly all the
important bills to be submitted pretty we'll
matured, we trust they will be reported
a: an early day, and the Legislature soon
begin to talk of adjourning. AS near as
we can learn, the members are of opinion
that it will be full six weeks before an
Adjournment can be had. indeed the
probabilities are that two months wlE

ESss,ssus Flstess5upssep.


brings dates up to the 10th Of February.
The following are among the items con-
tanned in them: ."f
PANAMA HosPITAL.-From the report
of DIR. Nj. Halstead, Resident Physician,
we learn that of the 56 cases treated in
the Hospital during the past month, 19
died, 50 have been discharged, and re-
main under treatment. There were %
cases of yellow fever, of which l9 were
fatal. The report says that the Hospital
having been thoroughly cleansed and
whitewashed, danger 30 longer exists.
The Panama papers say that the health
!of their city is much improved, and that
the yellow fever has nearly Disappeared
INTERESTING TO TEAvELERs.-A mott
fcaton has been issued by the Acalde Of
the city, to the effect that muleteers and
porters shall in future be provided by the
authorities with regular certificates, and
a request has been made that passengers
will in future examine these certificates
before entrusting their baggage to stran-
gers, for conveyance across the lsthtnus.
The object is to prevent fraud.
The Cabldo of this city have granted
to the Panama Railroad Company, under
certain restrictions, the Use of all the land
through which the railroad passes within
the Jurisdiction of the city-the said grant
not to exceed 26 varaS in width, and all
land required above that amount to be
paid for at legal rates.
During the season of Lent it has been
extremely difficult to procure laborers in
Panama; so much so that the water car
riers have in a great measure suspended
their customary avocatlon, and caused in
consequence the inhabitants to be distress
sed by the scarcity of water. The papers
recommend that the Yankee water carts
receive the sole patronage.
| The IsTHMUs CANAL. Two naval
officers have been lately sent out from
England, for the purpose of making a
preparatory examination, and British
nan-of-war is expected to arrive at Fort
Escoses, to enable the engineers to make
full and perfect survey of the coast and
the route already gone over by Mr.. Gis-
borne. We learn that the man-of-war
will remain in Port Fscoses or SOME other
convenient harbor, for the purpose of rem
derIng effective aid to the surveyors,
should they be molested by the Indians in
crossing the country.
1t is believed that if the agent of the
Canal route, on his visit to Bogota, should
find that the government cannot concede
grant to the Canal, without violating
the Railroad contract, immediate arrange
ments will be made with the latter com
pany to admit of such grant being legl-
tmately given by New Grenada.

The miners about Auburn are doing
better than they have any time during the
winter. Two companies, the Mammoth
and Empire, on Rich Flat, near town,
have been averaging an ounce per day to
the hand, for some time, with good
prospect of these rates continuing.
The miners at the new diggings, oppo-
site to Oregon Bar, expect to commence
washing next week. We shall be pleased
to report progress. I-"'

STocK FOR CAL1FoRNIA.-Ther will
be a very large amount OF stock driven
from this and adjacent counties to Callfor-
MIA, the coming spring Several persons
in this county have been buying cows and
sheep for that market. The competition
for these has caused prices to ADVANCE
Cows are selling freely at from SIS to 90;
sheep from S ,25 to l so and some as high
as 50 per head, according to quality
Good oxen are worth $40 per yoke; mules
from $s75 to 800. There is but little de-
mand at present for horses and mules, as
there are few persons in this vicinity in
tending to cross the plains the present
season, This description of stock is
scarce, however, and prices well main
tanned The emigration from this section
of the state will be almost entirely limited
to the stock drivers.
