LATER FROM THE SOUTH.

The steamer Southcrncr, Capt Hill
lard, arrived at San francisco, on Tues
day afternoon, bringing late intelligence
from the South.
Among the passengers on the South
erncr, were Col. Walker, and number
ofthc officers and men composing the
expedition to Lower California. Capt.
II. s. Burton, U. 8. A., and Lieut.. G
II. Derby, U. S. A., have also arrived.
Col. Walker and his small party, CON-
posed Of thirty three, had retrested be-
fore the Mexican forces until within
three miles Of the boundary line of the
u. s., when negotiations were commen-
esd for surrender to the L. S. Author
tiles. A correspondent Of the San Fran
cisco Hcrald gives the following account
~ the closing scenes in the history of
the expedition.
Col. Walker then took up his march
for San Diego. The Mexican forces
commenced manGuvring, and hung
npon his flank till within one mile of
the boundary line. At this point, many
of the inhabitants of San Diego had
assembled (by invita.ion) 20 the powers
Of Gen. Mclenirez Upon small hill
opposite the spectators, General Melcn-
'lros planted his colors and displayed
lis forcs. To judge from the cavorting
rtesds, and the riding up and down the
lme BY the General. and the hurrvins
to and fro Of inpatient all -,lc camps, all
wero eager for the fray. As Walker
ncared the enemy, he deployed his al
~anecd guard of nine rifcnan, who with
cheer, charged the %exicans; the lat
ter. without firing shot at their enemy /.
put spurs TO their horses, and DISAPPEARED
in cloud of dust, from out of the midst
Of which the Mexican flag could be seen
waving over as arrsnt set of towards
ns ever attempted to "play soldier" 4
shout Of derisive laughter went up from
the valley highly expressive Of a fillibus-
ter's opinion Of Mexican courage. Wal
hsr halted his command within few
fset OF the boundary line and crossing to
meet Maj. McKinstry announced the
terms upon which he would receive their
Surrender, which having been agreed to,
tho Fiiihustcrs gave three cheers for the
L. States, and then three for their own
oxeers.
Tho arrangement for the surrender
vas conducted by Maj. McKinstrv and
'npt. Burton, IN the part Of the Unit :

zen, on the part of tho Expcdi,ioni.s.

CIRCULAR TO THE TRADERS
OF THE SOUTHERN MINES.

/ IT is fact to be lamented, that the
City of Stockton, through the want of
enterprise by her Mercantile Communi-
II, has lost, for the past two years, the
greater portion Of the best trade of the
Southern Mines. We propose to reme-
dy this evil. We ask you why you do
not buy your goods in Stockton, and
patronise our city' You reply at once
that the prices Of Merchandise, in Stock
ton are held at 10, Is, and 30 per cent
above the Jobbing Prices in San Fran
cisco. Heretofore we must admit this
to have been the case; but it must coa-
tinue no longer. Stockton must assume
the position nature designed for her.
Per centage must be reduced--inducc-
ments must be held out to heavy buyers,
who pass through to San Francisco, and
make their purchases for cash. The
fact is, Goods must be sold in Stockton
at
San Francisco Job6ing prices, ~iM
Freight added,
We propose to furnish Goods at these
Rates. We can and will do it-Our
facilities for purchasing in largo lots
warrant us in advertising to this effect;
and we call upon the Merchants and
Traders to give us trial and satisfy
themselves whether or not we will prove
our assertions correct. Shrcwd business
men are engaged in the Trade of the
Southern Mines-competition is strong
goods mnst be bought at the lowest
rates, for your markets. All this We are
fully aware of, and it is far from our
intention to humbug or deceive, in our
efforts to secure your patronage to our
city. 1t is certainly more convenient
for you to purchase your goods in Stock
ton, if the rates will justify; and while
the loss of our trade to San Francisco
will be nothing, our gain must be i'm
mense.
Call and satisfy yourselves that our
terms arc the same as those of the job
bers in San Francisco. All Goods war
ranted to be perfect.
Orders promptly attended to, and
Goods shipped at the lowest rates Of
freight.
Orders for any amount filled and ship
ped Immediately.
