The News.
By way of New Orleans we haze received a synor-
sis of two weeks later advces from California. With
the exception of the gratifying announcement that
the miners were doing remarkably prosperous busi-
meas, the from the Pacific State possesses no
features Of marked Importance. Tho markets con-
tinned exceedingly dull and -four selling st only
about dollar per barrel than in this city.
The steamship Northern Light is nearly due OF this
port with the details Of the news. The Ohio was to
leave Aspinwan with the mails sad about one mil
Ion dollars in treasure on the 10th inst.
1t is reported that an Indian recently made his APP
pearance at Panama, and statedthat the Darien sur
veying party under Lieut.. Strain had been devoured
by wild beasts. The story was not credited. Or
the contrary, it was generally supposed that the
party were massaered by the natives, they being ST.
most universally hostile to the whites and never
permitting opportunity Of exhibiting their san
culinary vindictiveness to escape.
The Last advices from Lower California and AGA
puco if correct, are not by any means favorable to
the prospects of the fibusters and revolutonists.
President Walkers Sonora,expedition is represented
having proved utter failure. At last accounts
the 18th ult.-he had spiked and abandoned his guns
and started for st. Tomas, leaving his sick ard
wounded behind. Numbers of his followers had de-
serted, and many of those who remained despaired
Of success. To add to their troubles it is said that
General Blancard was on his way from Mexico to
Lower California at the head of seven hundred men,
From Acapulco We learn, via the City of Mexico,
that the revolution in that quarter had been
"crushed out" Gen. Alvarez being deserted by his
troops and the people. Now, all these statements
may be strictly corect-nevertheless we have hith-
erto been deceived by similar stories. 1t has been
asserted that Walker and his men had been CON-
pietely annihilated; that Mexican sovereignty was
restored, and order reigned throughout the Pacific
territories of Mexico; and an the very next arrival
from that quarter we have discovered that Walker
was still in the ascendant, with prospects brighter
than ever. The fact is, Santa Anna has not the
to suppress the rayages of the Indians in the
immediate vicinity of his capital. At the last dates
we are assured that savages were continuing their
depredations in the States Of Durango and Zaca-
tecas, although, by way Of setoff, it is announced
shat great battle had been fought, in which many
Indians were killed. Under these circumstances, it
seems little strange that his Supreme Highness
should easily the disaffections existing
m the western part of his empire.
The papers from the city Of Mexico, to the 18th
instant, report that a modification of the Gadsden
treaty had been accepted. 1t is quite needless to
remark that this is great mistake-the extmordi-
nary proja has not yet been disposed of by the Uni
ted States Senate. This rumor was doubtless set
afoat for the purpose of quelling, if possible, the
excitement among the people, who are gradually
exhibiting symptoms of dscord and revolution in
all parts Of that country. Keep back the fifteen
million dollars which Santa Anna so anxously
covets in lieu of his barren deserts, and his people
will eventually place not only Cookies wagon route
but various other routes, in possession without
much trouble or expense to us.
The letter elsewhere published from George N
Sanders upon the subject of his rejection as Consul
to London by the United States Senate, will be read
with feelings of the velicst interest by every poll
tician in the country. His exposition of the ma.
nGuvres Of some of the wire-pulers prior to the
last nomination for President is very curious
But this is merely the first chapter, or rather first
scene of the drama read it., and then await the
continuation of the Developments. The prospect
now is, that few of the more prominent democrats
in different parts of the country will find themselves
in rather embarrassing predcament before Mr..
Sanders concludes his political "reminiscences. BY
the way, while upon the subject, we may as well
state that we were last night placed in possession of
another very singular document being nothing
more nor less than the address of Kossuth to the
Germans in the United States, mention of which was
made in the letter of our Boston correspondent pub
bshed yesterday. Owing to the ateness of the hour
at which we received this extraordinary manifesto,
which Is IN the German language, we were unable

Apropos-a despatch from Washington denies that
George Sanders has sold George Laws old mnskets
TO revolutionary parties in Europe. The despatch
states that partial disposition has been made of
these firearms, but for different destination than
that indicated in connection with Mr.. Sanders.
Yesterday being private bill day, little business OF
general interest was transacted in Congress. Tie
Senate spent most OF the session in discussing the
bill to pay for tobacco seized in Maryland by the
British during the war of 1912. The House passed
the bills for the extension Of the warehousng system
and for the extension for fourteen years of pateut
for making cloth by weaving the raw materials with,
out spinning. The Indian Appropriation bill was
debated in Committee of the Whole. and then re
ported to the House. Both bodies adionrned til
Monday.
Contrary to general expectation, Mr. Cutting ala
not reply yesterday to the attack made upon him by
Mr.. Breckenridge in the House the day previous
IL IT, however, understood that he is only await,
