CALIFORNIA BoNDs.-Before the arrival
OF the steamer that carried the news of
the State having voted to "pay the debt"
State bonds were selling at fifty cents
in New York. On October 9th, bonds
were held at sixty, but tifty-fve and a
half is all that was offered. They would
have gone up considerably had it not been
for the money panic in the East. An old
citizen of Sacramento, now in New York,
writing us, says: "The vote against repu-
dating is doing much good here. have
heard many speak Of it and say Califor-
MIA has done wisely."-Sac Union.

STATE DEBT VoTE. - In commenting
upon the State debt, the New York Times
says:
This action Of the State of California
will tend more to renew and secure to
the confidence of the business world,
than any thing else which has transpired
for years, because it shows that although
corruption and profigacy may have pre-
vailed, and, to great extent, ruled there,
the mass Of the people are honest, and
anxious to preserve ther credit abroad
Indeed the indications of reform in
public affairs and of greater economy
generally among the people, are apparent
on every hand; persistence in such efforts
cannot fail to place California again in the
prosperous condition from which reckless pol
iticians and spectators have reduced her.
The merit of the recent vote will appear
the greater when it is remembered that
California has just passed through four
years. revulsion in which business was con
tinuously prostratcd and property values
have been steadily depreciating.

We understand that the sickness which
has SO generally prevailed on Secret and
Miners Ravines, during the summer aud
fall, has almost entirely disappeared. The
people in those localities are beginning to
assume healthy appearance again, which
is no doubt attributable to the near ap-
proach Of winter. A waggish friend
at our elbow says, that the shaking among
the people down there, one time last sum-
mer was SO general and violent that the
earthquake shocks felt throughout the State
might be easily accredited to that cause.
He related the case Of several miners who
shook out their "last red" for quinine.

Foreign Intelligence.

The advices from England and the con-
tnent are down to the 18th and 10Th Sept
The demand for money in the London mar
ket was very brisk.
Shares Of every description had fallen con-
slderrbly on the Paris Bourse, and the condi-
ton of the Vienna money market, as we'll
as that of many of the German banks, at
tracted good deal Of uneasy attention.
The American money crisis was commented
on extensively by the press.
From India we have additional news brought
by the Bombay mail to London, and tele-
graphed from Calcutta, by the way of Trieste,
to the English Foreign Office. The dates are:
CALCUTTA 10th, Bombay 18th, and Madras
18th, Of August. The advices are very i'm
portant Delhi was still held by mutineers
who made fierce sorties on the English troops
amongst whom the cholera had appeared so
severely that it was reported they had to re-
tire from before the city. Gen. Havelocks S
victorious career was interrupted by the same
enemy; and he was forced to fall back on the
ruins of Cawnpore, in order to nurse his sick.
There was pratial rising of one regiment in
the Bombay Presidency, whilst the Governor
General was forced to disarm his body guard
in Calcutta. Lord EIgin had arrived in the
city from China with a small body of troops.
The Punjab was slightly disturbed, and the
English troops had been defeated, near Arrak,
with loss of two hundred men. Rein
torcements were beginning to arrive however,
and it was confidently hoped that the Euro
peans would triumph soon.
At Tattersalls heavy bets were taken against
the American horses Pryor and Prioress for
the Czarowitch stakes The London Times
says that although the frigate Niagara may
outrun the Agamemnon by her steam quail
ties, still the latter vessel would be more than
a match for ship Of her class in war at close

DISEASE AMONG CATrLE.-An acouain-

to Dry Creek, in the lower part of this
county, says that quite number of horn
ed cattle have died this fall from some
complaint which it seems difficult to un-
derstand by the stock-owners 1t seems to
attack the cattle very suddenly and the
animal dies before showing symptoms of
Hines Our informant says he saw one
young steer Gie within five minutes after
he laid down. A Mr.. Brown on Dry
Creek lost an OK, which he afterward
skinned and came near loosing his own
life from the effect Of the blood of the
animal which became inoculated in sore
in his left hand. Several hogs and dogf
died from eating Of the carcas Of the ami
NAL. Mr. Brown had no reason to sus-
pect that it was poisoned, unless perhaps
by some weed. Mr. Driver has lost four
animals in this wav Several Of the ami
mails were opened but nothing uncommon
discovered in the stomach

County Assessor, who in future will have

several years, and we cannot let him re-
tire from the tripod without the express
ed wish that his efforts in the legal pro-
fession may be attended with ample sue
cess. In his successor, Mr.. Smith, we
recognize an old friend, practical prin-
ter, and a gentleman we'll qualified to fill
the editorial chair We welcome him to

ARREST CT MuRDERER.-Jose Maria
alias Francisco, who was arrested last
week in San Francisco, on suspicion Of
having murdered Philip Geary on Secret
Ravine, some month since, was brought
from below and lodged in our Jail this
week by one the Sherifi's officers. We
understand Maria acknowledges the killing
of Geary, and says if the officers had not
been too quick for him he would have been
out of their reach twenty four hours later,
as he had made all preparation to escape to
Mexico, to which country his accomplice
in the crime went some time ago.

ANOTHER STATE PRIsoS SrAMpEDE.-It
is- said by the Bay papers that on satur-
day night, Oct. 3lst, sixty prisoners at San
Quentin made their escape on small soop
that was at anchor near the Prison. They
also state that the lessee was using every
effort to conceal the fact of the escape
from the public.
That State Prison ought to be indicated
as a nuisance by the Grand Jury Of Marin
county. Its management has long since
become odious to the taxpayers.

Rain...Flumes Carried Away-River Mi.
ming SUSPENDED.

Rain has come, and at an inauspicious
time. On Tuesday morning the rain CON-
menced and continued, with occasional
intermissions, through Wednesday and
Thursday. On Wednesday night the Amer.
ican and its tributaries were swollen to
such an extent as to carry away all Of
the fumes, on these streams, besides
wheelbarrows, shovels, picks &c. The rise
was so sudden that no preparation had
been made for it, and the result is a
great loss Of property. Many companies
had been but a short time in pay dirt,
and had not yet cleared their previous ex
penses. Their losses will Of course be
heavy. The fumes upon claims that had
failed had been taken out but in few instan-
ces thas we have heard Of, and these have
gone with the others. This is truly unfor-
tunate, and closes river mining on the
astrously.
On Thursday morning, we were informed,
the North Fork had risen fifteen feet,
and below the Junction six feet,-suff-
cent to carry all the works off; and the
rivers were covered with the wreck of
tumes-much of the lumber being good.
Considerable water is running in the ra-
vines but not, as yet, enough to be Of much
service in the dry diggings. The roads
are muddy, but travel is in no way mpe-
ded.

that we have very little TO learn in this country from

ordnance especially in the manufacture.

TRIAL TRIP OF THE ADRIATIc.-The New York
Evening Post of the 18th gives the following account
Of the trial trip of the splendid new steamship Adr
attic, which promises to be one of the swest vessels
ever built:
She went out to sea on Friday and Saturday, some
fifty miles, up Long Island coast. On Sunday she
rounded Block Island and returned to Sandy Hook,
and crused about until morning. She ran up to six
teen miles an hour against head wind. Her greatest
speed was made from o measured point at Sandy
Hook to measured point off Governors lsland-jnst
this in one hour and four minutes starting against
tide. She had on at this time about two-thirds OF
her available steam, and was about half laden. There
was no perceptble jar in the machinery, every part
Of which seemed to work in perfect unity. The trip
was pronounced in the highest degree gratifying to
all the guests on board, among whom were Messrs
Allen, Collins Capt Covendy Of the Washington
Lieut.. Belaveneta of the Russian corvette, Lieuts
Taylor and Temple Of the United States SERVICE Prof
Grant and others. She sails for Europe on Saturday
