New ORLEANS, September 26.--By the arrival
of the steamer Orizaba we have dates from the
the city Of Mexico TO the 10Th instant, from which
we learn that Carrera had abdicated his office OF
Provisional President
The Council had decided to adopt the plan OF
Ayntla, thus putting an end to all fear of col
lsion between the army and civilians Still,
however, it cannot be said that there is any ac-
tual government, and there are well-grounded
fears that anarchy will yet prevail in the city and
country.
Generals Alvarez and Comonfort were daily
expected at Caernoaca.
Yucatan, Carmen and several other places had
declared for the revolution. General Larcasno 5
brigade of thousand strong had surrendered to
the new national troops.
Vidauri has published new and more liberal
tariff, and decree has been issued recognizing
the army.
At Vera Cruz over 500 national guards had
been enrolled.

Digging for hidden Pressure.

On Thursday night, at Charleston, while several
Of the watchmen were going their rounds, they
heard the sound OF pick-axes in Jay street. Upon
reaching the place they found three men busily
at work digging in round hole about eight feet
wide and three feet deep. The watchmen inqur-
cd OF them what they We're digging for at that
late hour, but received answer. They at
tempted to 90 up to them, but they found their
progress retarded by small wire about the size
of knitting needle, which was stretched around
the hole. They asked the men what the wire
was for, and again received no answer The men
then ceased work, came outside the line and COM
menced conversation with the watchmen.
They stated they were spritualsts, and that
the spirit of some person had told them that this
spot was once garrlsoned by an army, and under
meath the foundation (an.old wall surrounds the
place where they were digging, which was in
tended for dwelling house some twenty years
ago) was hidden treasures in the shape of large
sums of money, which they expect to get when
they get deep enough. The wire which is placed
around the spot, it is supposed, will keep away
the evil spirits. They stated that they went on
similar expedition some twenty years ago, and
while digging, the spirit of wild horse appeared
to them and prevented their working; and they
thought if they then had the wire stretched about
the place they would have been able to continue
their work. The men, after concluding their con-
versation with the watchmen, went back into the
mole and commenced digging again They are
confident they will find the treasures, and prob
ably they will if they dig long enough. One of
the men is named Sanborn, living in Somerville;
another resides in Boston, and the third in

PARoDI,s CONCERTS.

We endorse every word Of the following article
which appeared in the National Iaieiigsneer u
yesterday morning:
"Carusi's Saloon was thronged on Saturday
evening, and Nj lie Parodi and her company en-
Joyed a glorious triumph. Their performances
were applauded 10 the utmost, dnd the encore was
loud and frequent We had heard Parod before,
but never to SO much advantage Her manner
was Oh this occasion more subdued, and the com
pass OF her voice appeared greater, while its tone
was perfect IN every note, and her execution
equalled, II II did not exceed, any thing we ever
heard performed by the human voice Madame
Strakosch has acquired confidence and power
since she was last heard in this city. Her solos
We're executed with surprising taste and sweet
ness, and the accord OF her voice with that Of Nj lie
Farodi in the concerted pieces was perfect. Sig
nor Leonardi's baritone is clear, full, and musi-
cal, and his style exceedingly quiet and natural.
Nj. Strakosch, whose master-spirit pervaded the
whole performance, is of pianists among tho most
skiliul to whom we ever listened. He performed
several pieces of his own compositions which were
received with immense applause. The young
America Gallop' was highly characteristic, and
the encore brought forth variations on Yankee
Doodle that seemed TO excite an almost phrenzied
enthusiasm"
The encouragement received by M lie Parodi
was such as TO induce her to give another con-
cert last night, with entire change Of pro-
gramme, comprehendng a selection of her best
and most approved arias, Duets, ballads, etc.
On Sunday, we had the pleasure Of hearing
Parod's rich voice blending with the choir of St.
Matthew rs Church, and, Of course, were extreme
ly gratified with her vocal performances on that
occosion

THREE WEEKS LATER FROM CALI.
FOLsNIA.

The steamer Star, Of the West, arrived at the
quarantine, New York, September 80, with Cali
iornia dates TO the 9th, and 81, 100000 in gold;
and $50 passengers.
The State and county elections were progress
ing when the steamer left, and the result was
very doubtful. Great political excitement pre-
vailed. The know-nothing party, it was as
serted, had bought up the Mormon vote in San
Bernardo county for $50, 600 payable after the
election The Mormops have 500 votes in the
county.
Trade with the interior was dull, but goods
arriving were taken readily.
The miners were doing well.
Dates from Tahiti to July 22d, say that the
French lfigate Adventure was wrecked near
New Caledonia en- the 2sth Of April last
The United States sloop-of-war St. Mary was
TO sail next day for Society Islands
Dates from China to the 9Th of July, say that
proclamation had been issued by the Superinten-
dent Of customs, forbidding the expectation Of
rice and other grains.
News had been received at San Francisco Of
the successes Of the Insurgents on the Pacific
coast Of Mexico. General Comonfort had taken
Zapatlan by assault. Colna had surrendered,
and the soldiers and officers of the garrison had
joined the revolutionists. General Comonfort
had subsequently marched with 5000 troops to
attack Guadalajara. The city Of Zapatlan was
sacked after the capture, and entirely demolished.
The battle lasted but two hours, during which
200 were killed, and many wounded on both
sides.
Seven thousand men under Ceballo had march
ed for the city Of Mexico.
The news Of Santa Anna's fight had reached
the coast and already caused contention among
the military leaders at Guadalajara.

Horrible Sacrifice OF Life on the Western
Waters In Forty-four Years.

From Lloyd's forthcoming Steamboat Direc-
tory we learn that since the application of steam
on the Western waters there have been thirty
nine thousand six hundred and seventy-two lives
lost by steamboat disasters, three hundred and
eighty-one boats and cargoes lost, and seventy
boats seriously injured, amounting in the aggre-
gate to the enormous sum Of sixty-sevcn millions
Of dollars, 1t is TO be hoped that this forthcom.
ing work will have the effect Of arrcsting the at
tention Of the Government TO the Importance Of
Western interests, SO far as our great rivers and
lakes arc concerned
