A fortnight's later sdvices from California which
We publish ut length this morning contain several
important items The State has again been visited by
destructive fires at San Francisco, Sacramento and
Columbus consuming property to the amount, as cst-
mated of II, 2s0,0O0. The business affairs OF the
country are in an extre nelly depressed condition.
Every Kind OF properys greatly deprecated in value,
and many hitherto successful operations now fail to
pay expenses. The amount of gold received BY the
steamer Of the Nicaragua line falls short of 500 00o
which, with the shipments made by the Panama
steamer reaches only 10 the sum Of 81 $50 600. THIS
deficiency, however is not due 70 any failure Of the
product of the miues which, il is said, wrxcecd the
yield of any previous year but rather TO the dimnu-
tion Of imports especially OF brcadstufs and the in
creased amount Of gold which is retained for coin
age at San Francisco. Quartz mining is represented
as highly successful. The discovery of gold in several
parts of Oregon has produced considerable senss-
ton in that quarter. The officers of the Star of the
West state that everything was quiet at San Juan,
and that the rebuilding OF the town had been COM
menced by several of the former residents A lively
sensation of horror felt by the English of Jamaica
Mt the proceedings OF Capt. Hollns, snd the public
journals express themselves in terms of bitter ndg
nation concerning the United States Government, as
well as the agents by whom lite ruthless orders were
executed. The letters of California correspond

s@- The following letter, Mr. Editor,
needs no explanation from me. Please
publish it, and save and return the origi-
nal :: a oss SNoB.
Dear Snob II shall publish your letter
tomorrow, although fear it will subject
me and my readers to another infiction from
Blase. The fact is + particularly dread
his communications for two reasons, first
he owes me few pesos, and if | refuse to
print he wont pay, while if I do print, my
compositors get sleepy and lose time, my
subscribers drop of, and my own patience
is severely tried with the supposition in-
sinuated that approve his dull trash
Ilsarn- from, eae of his confidential
friends here Ga respectable pea-nnt mer.
chant) that he is playing the game in your
place, the discovery of which made his
leaving here convenient-that of pretend-
ing to frequent good society, and to be
pressed with invitations to attend '.grand
suppers." am told that by such preten-
sions he has contrivedsto manufacture con-
siderable humbug currency, but advise
yeu when you mistake him for lion to
look beneath the skin, 40. ..a
Of course you will keep this letter strict
iy confidential, as Blase might not pay
those pesos, and then you know "The ILL
Will OF dog" &c. If you get acquainted
with him you will find he will stand con-
siderable stufing, and that will explain the
0e1y cordial style of'my letter to him as
published in the Nevada Journal. +.

You were when it began
And I, in love with the disgrace.

And thank kind heaven that old in years,
In heart I'm still boy
What is II, this they'd have me win

The Sacramento and Nepada Rail Road
The Engineers are engaged in surveying
the Rail Road line, between Sacramento
and Norman Island. 1t will be borne in
mind that Rail Road, complete in all its
parts including rails, locomotives and cars,
has been shipped from New York, and is
now on its way to this state. Before the
close of the present year it is believed, the
cars will be running along the line. One
of the article Of transportation will be
the granite found in the mountains, which
will furnish our cities the most beautiful s

The Cuba Di6iculty-The New York

Warrior affair Secretary Davis is delight
ed with Mr.. Marcy's spirit and views, does
not conceal his satisfaction when speaking
to his intimate friends There are other
members of the Cabinet who do not Sc
heartily sympathize wrth the popular feel.
ing on the subject, but it is not supposed
that they WILDE able to influence the Pres.
ident's mind, if Congress will only encour.
age him to pursue determined policy.
Mr.. Marcy has instructed Mr.. Soule, our
Minister at Madrid, to make the demand
for indemnity and apology in the most per.
emptory manner, and should the Spanish
Government hesitate, or put off its reply
under pretence of waiting for information
from Havana, Mr.. Soule is to lose no time
in communicating the fact to Washington,
when our Government will proceed instan-
ter to blockade every Cuban port. Mr.
Marcy's plan is to permit no shutting. IT
the Captain General Of Cuba does not
choose to give his Government information
until it is asked of him, that is no reason
why the American Government should de-
lay adopting its remedy. We need not say
that MIR. Marcy's spirited instructions will
be closely followed by Mr.. Souk, and
should folly or infatuation dispose the Span
ish Government to refuse our Governments
demands, it will long regrelthe consequent
