Later from California.

By the arrival of the Daniel Webster we have files
of San Francisco papers to the 9th inst. From the
Alta California we extract the following intelligence:
The most important items of news by this steamer
is the display before the public of large amount of
evidence, going to show that the party of one hun
dred and eighteen immigrants mastered in the south
ern part OF Utah while on their way to California
news Of which occurrence was sent from here by the
last mail-were murdered by Mormons. Mr.. George
Powers arrived few days since at Los Angeles from
Salt Lake. and reports having heard many Mormons
threaten to kill Gentiles passing through their coun
try. He met mixed party of Mormons and Indians
going toward Mormon settlement from the scene of
the massacre and they had in possession bundles of
clothing and other articles apparently the spoil of the
murdered and the whole party appeared to be on
very friendly terms with one another, and to be in
high spirits.
This Mr.. Powers also states that in San Bernardiso
he heard Capt. Hunt, man of authority among the
Mormons there, say he was glad for the massacre
and believed the hand of the Lord was in it, whether
it was done by the whites or redskins. P. M. Warn
OF Genesee county, New York. who came through
about the same time with Mr.. Powers, believes also
from numerous facts observed by him, that the Nor
mons are guilty of the bloody crime. Messrs. Abbott
and Fine two gentlemen who lately been at San
Andres, from the Humboldt river, report great hos
tility on the part of the Mormons towards the imm
grants coming to California by the South Pass and
great friendship with the Indians who had made
attacks on immigrants. Both Mr.. Abbott and Mr.
Fine know OF cases where trains were attacked in
the Mormon country, by Indians led on by numerous
white men, supposed to be Mormons. Mr. Abbott
says five hundred immigrants have been killed this
year on the road between Salt Lake and California
by Indians and Mormons, but this estimate is GER
tainly very much exaggerated.
There was little brush of fight between the set
tiers at Honey Lake-a valley east of the main divide
OF the Sierra Nevada in latitude 80 deg. north-and
the Indians, but peace has been restored.
The several Federal and County Courts adjourned
on the I'D inst. A meeting of the bar was held
upon the arrival of the terrible news by the steamer
Panama, of the loss Of the Central America, with
hundreds of returning Cafornians, among whom
were several prominent members of the California
bar. = -

bedsteads Of silver have been ordered from one Of

ticles are thus described: The work is of an ara
besque character the bedstead is composed through
out of pierced open metal work, doubly plated, with
scrolls of matted and FURNISHED silver in high relief.
The head is pierced and surmounted with chased
foliage, the foot harmonizing in character and being
enriched by large arabesque shell. Futed and pol
ished pillars at each corner support gracefully arched
open work, over which is intended to fall the mos
quito net-the only bed furniture used in the East.
The silver work is thrown into relief by lining of
crimson velvet, and mattress and bolster Of green
satin complete the ornaments of the couch The cost
of the set is estimated at $4,000 The extravaganza

Gov. WALKER AND THE ADMINISTRATION. The
Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Press
writing on the 10Th, says:
The administration do not hesitate to openly en-
dorse the Kansas policy Of Gov. Walker His fearless
to the infamous election frauds, has already com
mended him to the hearty approval of conservative
and fair Of every section of the Union 1t is not
known from any reliable source, indeed from any
source at all, that he has either favored or opposed
the Constitution and schedule recently framed by the
Constitutional Convention Of Kansas. Nor will this
be known, his friends say, until his arrival in Wash
ington, which it is expected will be tonight or to-
morrow. 4
The Press, edited by Col. Forney, is recognized
everywhere the special organ of the President and
is of course good authority in all matters involving
the opinion of Mr. Buchanan. 1t thus appears there
is no longer any concealment Of opinion the part
of Mr. Buchanan. He openly endorses the Kansas
policy of Gou. WaLfer.

A GREAT C1TY.-It has generally been supposed
that London and Pekin were about large as cities
usually get to be. But if to believe Mr. Doty,
who delivered lecture in Philadelphia recently upon
Japan, they both together would not make city SO
large as Jeddo. He says:
The city of Jeddo is, without exception the largest
city in the world 1t contains 100000 dwellings,
and the unparalleled number of 5000 900 of people.
Some of its streets are l6 japanese rls in length,
which is equal to 80 English miles.
The Jeddoans will be in an awkward fix when their
city becomes larger than the island upon which it is
built.

Disiatcrment Of the Medici Family or

The London Morning Post has an interesting letter
from It's Tuscan correspondent, giving an account Of
the disinterment OF the celebrated Medici family Of
Florence, who for 40 long period were the absolute
rulers Of that country We make the following ex-
tract:

their wives children in short that have

cofins some twenty were opened for the first time.
Eleanor of Toledo, wife of C0smo the First, and his
son and successor, Francis the First the husband Of
the Inflated Blanca Capello were as fresh as II they
had only yesterday been placed in the sepnlchre,
where they have lain for over $50 years.
Indeed, the wonderful preservation Of the corpse
Of Francis seems to strengthen the theory that he
died from arsenic poison. The work was performed
ton Of the Ayvocato Regio, the chief government
architect and the chevaiier Passerini, person Of
great antiquarian knowledge attached TO the grand
ducal archives. Grand dukes and grand duchesses,
princes and princesses, were all found in the state
costume Of their day Giovanni dele Bande Mere,
the warlike progenitor Of the race, with the mould

redtapists, carried their habits Of commercial regu

air about her. as if the verdict had reference to
her at ALL She Isl but seventeen years of age, and
cannot exactly be called mulatto, as she is of race

comments were made upon the action Of the jury.
