a. So far a. We can learn, in all the
Eastern counties of Iowa, the fall wheat
crops are all destroyed; we doubt whether
there will be Us much produced as to return
the seed sown. In middle Iowa, it is par
italy destroyed. In the western counties,
where there was much snow all winter, we
think there will be an average crop, but we
presume there was little soWn. About Du-
buque, the papers there say that in conse-
quence OF the protection Of the snow the
winter wheat is doing very well.-Iosoa

SAN Francisco. Feb e.9PM.

San FRANCISCO, Feb. 9, 9P NJ.
The steamer Sierra Nevada arrived this
morning from San Juan, having left that
port on the Goth of jan, bringing 10 days
later news from Walker
Walker remains fortified in Rivas, still
holding possession of Virgin Bay and San
Juan. The Sierra Nevada from Panama
first brought him intelligence of the seizure
of the river steamers by Vanderbilt
Having received small boats from San
Juan, he was about to make night attack
on the steamers Virgin and San Carlos,
which are held by the enemy at the Island
OF Ometipec, II miles from Virgin Bay.
Scott, Walkers agent at Punta Arenas,
was putting a sawmill engine in a river
steamer to ascend with tilibusters per James
Adger
From all accounts it appears that Walker
will attempt to re-take the steamers on the
lake.
The Sierra Nevada touched at Manzenillo.
A courier had arrived there from Tepere
with intelligence that General Blancoste late
Governor OF La Paz, had arrived by way of
San Bias, with five hundred men, and pro-
nounced against the Government.

THE "0RGAN" OF THE ADMINISTRATION.
The Hon. John Appleton, of Maine, was
in Washington to negotiate for the transfer
to him of the Union newspaper, which he
is to edit as the organ af Mr.. Buchanan's
administration. Judge Nicholson, now the
editor, will return to Tennessee and enter
the list of competitors for the United Statss
Senate A southern editor for the Union
has not yet been selected. Mr.. Jones, of the
Georgia COnstitutional,st, and Roger A,
Pryor, of the Richmond Enquirer, are
prominent candidates. Col Forney fought
hard to reserve a seat in the Union corps in
the event of his failure to be Senator, but
he has been definitely shelved on that score,
and with Mr.. Buchanan's consent and APP
proval. The President elect is expected
here about The LIST of February.

Revival IN SAN FRANcIsco.-Th Bay
correspondent of the State Journal under
date of Feb 9th, writes as follows:
Yesterday was a great day for the congre-
cation of St. Cyprian's (colored) Church. In
the morning they assembled at North Beach,
and notwithstanding the intensely cold state
of the weather, five negroes and negresses
were immersed and thereby admitted into
the church and their past sins forgiven A
German (whte) also underwent the ordeal
at the hands of the negro pastor, and was
received into the bosom of the st. Cyprian
Congregation We are informed that he is
known as 4" Frederic and was recently pro-
prietor of a store on the site of the late con-
tiagration opposite the Plaza. We opine he
is decidedly favorable to the amalgamation
of color.

SpnnishtOWn.

| We have received a letter from a CORES
pendent in Spanishtown who signs himsel
Philus Julious, which contains a lengthy
description-of that village, its manners and
customs, SC. The letter is too long to b.
published entire, we therefore give its mos
important points in the following extracts
The town is evidently reviving Many
strangers have lately flocked thither, by
reason of the fa vorable accounts from the
newly discovered quartz lodges in the vicin-
ity, which give many evidences of richness
New placer diggings are constantly being
discovered, from which very encouraging
prospects are derived. Exertions are being
made to push forward the work on the ditch
which is to supply their diggings with water
and our correspondent thinks it will be fin.
ished early in May.
New and rich diggings have been found in
the region of Dogtown and Helltown, and
many of the Spanishtown people have pulled
up stakes and gone there.
Fighting, gambling, robbing and prosti-
tuition seem to be rife in Spanishtown men
strike from the shoulder at one another and
cut and shoot on very slight provocations,
all sorts of games of chance are played in
open defiance of law, the lives and property
of peaceable citizens are constantly being
jeopardized from demonstrations by mid
night plunderers, and Spanish dance houses
and the consequent disturbances arising
therefrom keep up continual hubbub in
the settlement.
In July last not frame house existed
where three hotels, eight billiard sa-
looms, four dance houses, three stables, and
numerous stores and private residences now
stand, and as little leaven in the corrupt
body corporate, small number of worthy
ladies, the wives and relatives of the better
class of citizens abide in Spanishtown.
A wagon belonging to the Cal. stage Co..
containing five passengers, broke down on
Saturday morning after arriving in town,
but with no serious accident to anyone. The
roads being SO bad that the stages run nc
farther toward Spanishtown than Pence's
Ranch, from whence wagon is run.

Aubln's Patent Gas.

1t has been successfully demonstrated by
actual experience, in Sacramento and else
where in California, that this gas can b,
manufacted and afforded not only at mucl
less price than the article heretofore gener
ally used in cities and towns throughout the
United States, but can be afforded even in
California. at less expense than candles
