IMPORTANT FROM THE SEAT OF WAR. We arc
informed on the most reliable authority, by gen.
tleman in this city. whose means of private
nature, that some time previous to the last news
from Constantinople an army of French. all picked
men, had been collecting near that place, to the
number of 65000. On the Sd of May this whole
force was to embark under the command of the
Emperor in person, and to be thrown precipitatey
into Eupatoria port lying to the north of Sevas-
topol, and held by Omer Pasha This report is
rendered probable by the fact that previous to the
last advces. Omer fnsha had been extending his
lines into the Crimea and making such prepare
tions that, with sufficient additional force it would
be easy to cut off the retreat of the Russians and
also their supplies. Unless some unforeseen event
occurred to prevent the movement, it may be safely
calculated that the Emperor Louis Napoleon with
the finest army France could furnish, was on his
ways from Constantinople to the Crimea on the 4th
Of last month. If such shall prove to have been
the case, we may expect soon to hear of terrific
fighting The Emperor is evidently tired of this
procrastnation, and is bent on bringing matters to
a crisis. Sevastopo must soon fall. There will he
desperate and bloody fighting, but it undoubtedly
must and then the Russians must leave the Cri-
mea.--Ata.

CALIFORNIA REVOLUTIONS The prosecuting wit
ness in the case of Carter, Yesterday, was John
Cameron, policeman. Mr.. Cameron was former
ly Mayor of the city of Sonoma, and a merchant
there doing heavy business but the commercial
revolutions of California have brought him around
to his present position. He came to this country
with the New York Volunteers, and arrived in the
spring of l847.
lie settled in Sonoma, and was elected Alcalde
during the Governorship of Mason. In 1851 So
mona was incorporated as city. The pueblo
owned several thousand of very fertile and
beautifully situated land many of the citizens
even hoped that it would become the future capital
of the State; lare amount of capital had been
collected there by the immigrants of 1885, large
proportion of whom had settled in that vicinity,
and had gathered the cream of the trade and
mining of l848.
These facts in connection with the wonderful
growth of the State during l849 and 1861 fair
share of which was extended to Sonoma-led the
people there to suppose that their town would soon
be great city in fact as we'll as in name and ter
ritory. Mr.. Cameron was elected the first Mayer,
the end of his second term of Office, the great pros
poets of Sonoma finally fizzled out; trade died
away, the Mayor became a broken merchant, and
took to farming; and the year 1854 saw him in
San Francisco policeman. at the foot of the lad
der again. There are, no doubt, hundreds Of per-
sons in this city whose changes of fortune have
been great those just mentioned: and the
sturdy industry and unfatering honesty of men in
similar circumstances. speak the highest praise of
the spirit of our people.-S F. Chronicle.
