Late from Panama and California

New ORLEANS, June 1.-THE Daniel W eb-
ster, which left Aspinwall on the 4th inst
with San Francisco dates to the 2lst ult, as
arrived, bringing the gratifying intelligence
that the United States surveying steamer had
reached Panama, and that the difficulties with
the authorities, growing out of the recent san
culinary riot, had been amicably settled.
Travellers could now cross on the railroad with
perfect safety.
Cortland Cushing died recently at Punta

There was great excitement among the
Americans in California with reference to Nj
caragua
Great excitememet prevailed in San Fran
cisco. A man named Casey shot James King,
of William, editor Of the Bulletin, in the street
Casey was promptly arrested, and committed
to Jail. This occurred on the l4th ult. On
the 10th Mr.. King died, and great excitement
ensued The old vigilance committee called
meeting, and placards Of an infammatory
nature were posted about the city calling on
the citizens to take the law into their own
hands.
On Sunday, the 18th, three thousand citi-
Gems, completely organized into divisions and
companies, and armed with muskets, marched
by three streets from the committee rooms,
took possession of the Jail, and from thence
took Casey and the gambler Cora, and car
ried them to the committee rooms, where they
remained closely guarded at the sailing of the
steamer 1t was supposed they would be
hung.
The whole city was draped in mourning for
the death Of Mr.. King, who was highly es-
