More rain has fallen throughout the mining region
Of California during the past two weeks than in any
similar period the present winter. From every por
lion of the mines we now hear good amounts of the
miners and the receipts Of gold have largely increased
at san Francisco The farmers throughout the agri-
cultural districts have also taken advantage of the
rains to commence putting IN their winter crops
More attention is now given to this branch Of bust
ness than ever before, and we shall undoubtedly
grow a large surplus of wheat, barley, ETC., this
season. -. ~ -s.5. HISS. e.
The Legislature, SO far, has failed to elect U. S.
Senator to occupy the place recently, held by DR..
Gwin.s Coy. Foote was nominated in caucus by the
Know Nothings, but the Senate refused to go into
joint convention by vote of II to II. 1t is believed
that this position Of affairs cannot be changed and
therefore there is but little probability Of the election
Of 81 Senator by the present Legislature
The Legislature has now pending proposition
which believed will result in obtaining the pay
ment Of the California Indian War Bonds.
The Supreme Court Of California have made deci
sion By which the assets of the late firm Of Adams
Co are to be divided pro rata amongst all the credi
tors Of that concern. 45g
Tile Limantour claim to the land upon which nearly
onethird Of San Francisco is located, has been con.
frfned by the q. S. Commissioners. Preparations are
now being made to take the case to higher Court,
where it is believed, this decision will be reversed ;
hence there is but little excitement in San Francisco
inrespect to the confirmation This claim is assessed
at5 900 000 and is considered too great fortune for
one man, even in California.
Indian affairs in Oregon and Washington Territories
continue very much as at last dates The winter
weather renders it almost impossible to do anything
towards hunting out the savages. The people ofthose
Territories complain of the dlaory action of General
Wool who has returned to California but we doubt
very much whether yet has the facilities for enter
ing upon active campaign, and particularly in the
winter when forage for animals is 50 difficult to be OBJ
tanned.
The San Francisco papers have received news to TIN
latest dates from the Sandwich Islands and China bu
we find nothing Of interest.
