Legislative.

The eighth California Legislature adjourn
ed on Thursday last, after session Of nearly
four months. In speaking Of it the Sacra-
mento Union says:
"In glancing over the doings Of this body,
that for which it is most censurable is care
lessness in the manner of getting up bills
and putting them through. Nearly every
important act has one or more amendatory
and explanatory act, rendered necessary to
correct omissions or bunders. Hence the
number of acts is swollen into large vol
ume. Withall, we should not divest the
Legislature of 81 of the credit of firmly dis
countenancing many schemes of speculation,
which would have been received with favor
by some Of our former legislatures. AS all
actual business had closed on the preceding
day, nothing of Legislative character was
transacted yesterday"
There were 277 Acts passed during the
session, many of them, however, were of a
local character. Those Of general natule g,
and relating to our own county, we shall
publish as soon as we can find room.

fully endorse the principles laid down in the
Inaugural Of President Buchanan, Letermin-

Important from Nicaragua.

In regard to Nicaraguan matters, General
Mora, the commander of the Allied Armv
writes to the President Of Costa Rica, under
date of April 1st. as follows:
Day after tomorrow, at the latest, I shall
place in battery at the post of the Puebla.
occupied by General Xatruch, another gun Of
equal calibre, brought by my orders from the
Fort Of San Carlos, which will cross its fires
with that at my head quarters, and which
will completely destroy or dislodge the Fill
busters Walker and his fosces are forced
to feed on mule and dog meat, seasoned with
sugar, in default of salt, and of this thew
make a mush. Miserable rations! Those
pushed by hunger, who 90 out to hunt for
pantains, are driven in by troops, without
their having effected their object. Every
night send in lttile gurriIla parties from,
each of my posts, who advance to ths en-.
trenchments of the Plaza, thus obliging FlTi-
busters to be on the alert all night so that
they have no time to rest. This course
united to the certainty that they feel that
they are completely hemmed in, produces q
desertion among them of about five each day
to my head quarters. calculate that triple
that number daily take the road to Costa
Rica. The Flibusters have arrived at such
extreme pusilanmity, that one of their de-
serters of yesterday returned from my camp
to his old quarters in the Plaza, distributed
some Of the rifle, returned freely to my camp.
Since yesterday fourteen deserters came to
my camp am assured that a division of
Guaternalians will be soon in Granada. I
shall send the steamer San Carlos for them
tomorrow. Every probability is in favor of
cur speedy triumph.
