DRAWN OFF.-The Nicaragua steamer Sierra
Nevada, advertised to leate San Francisco on
the 9th, has been drawn of, and did not sail as
announced A large number Of people who
had gone to San Francisco, in expectation of
getting passage to the Atlantic States at =
reasonable rate, were disappointed, and many
were not able to procure ticket at any price.
The mail company have again put up the prices
to the old figures, and 1t is openly charged that
the Vanderbilt steamers have been bought of.
Some sixty-nve disappointed passengers left
San Francisco on Saturday, with the intention
Of returning by the overland mail route, from
San Diego to San Antonio. Hundreds of mi
ners and others have been making preparations
to visit the States, in expectation Of q reduction
Of the fare, and the news Of the withdrawal Of
the opposition lice is great disappointment to
them. The most Of them will ne doubt forsgo
their intention Of returning.

Tho Pacific Railroad.

Mr.. Gwin's BILL for the construction of q
railroad to the Pacific, had been made the sps-
cial order, In The U. s. Senate, for the first OF
March. The consideration of the bill, however,
was postponed. and the bill for the admission
of Kansas considered in its place. All hopes
of the passage of q railroad bill, during the
present session of Congress, may now be con-
sidered as at an end. The Kansas discussion
will occupy at least month in the Senate, and
probably as much time in the House. 1t will
then be too late for Congress to do any thing
with the bill. The California Senators both
spoke and voted against the action Of the ma
jerity, bat the Lecomptonites were determined
to bring up the discussion on the Kansas ques-
tien, in which they succeeded. In 1854, the
Pacific railroad bill, which had passed the SEN
ate, was postponed in the House, for the. .pur-
pose Of taking up the Nebraska bill. The rail
road was net thought Of again. The same fate
undoubtedly win attend the measure at the
present session.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.-An extensive robbery
took place last Friday, in San Francisco during
furniture sale at the residence Of Mr.. Haw-

in attendance on the sale, and while the atten-
tiOn of the family was elsewhere engaged, the
room Of Mrs. Hawkins was entered and robbed
of tin box, containing $500 in gold coin, rs or
80 ounces Of gold, and number Of diamonds,
valued at $25OO, all the property of Mrs. Haw-
kins. The imOnsy was found the next day in
the garret, where it had probably been seereted

LATER FROM New GRANADA-By the Panama
advocate, Of March 1lth, we have later intslli-
gencs from New Granada. Congress had con-
vsned, and the two Houses were Immediately
organized by the election of officers. The fol-
lowing is the portion of the report Of the Secre-
tary for Foreign Affairs, relating to the ques-
sion between the governments of the United
States and New Granada:
The President elect, the honorable Mr.. Bu-
chanan, having assumed the reins of govern
ment in the commencement Of 1857, at the time
when the new Administration in New Granada
was organized, the serious difficulty which un-
fortunately arose from the aeplorable events OF
the 18th of April engaged the serious attention
OF both Cabinets. The Executive power, far
from harboring any feelings of prejudice against
the people OF North America; and, on the con-
trary, most sincerely disposed to re-establish a
good understanding between the two Republics,
called BY their antecsdents, their wants and
their mutual and increasing interests, to keep
up the most intimate friendship, instructed it's
agents ia the United States to open negeta-
tions with that spirit Of impartial and dignified
circumspectiOn which New Granada has adopt
ed In all her Ofhcial acts which might lead to
the equitable settlement Of the pending Difficult
ties. By dint Of the most laborious exsrtiens.
on account Of the nature of the points in uues.
tiOn, an agreement was arrived at, aud signed
or the 10th Of September last, which will he
submitted to the members of Congress in order
that they may decide about certain causes
which surpass the limits of the executive power.

RAIN IN THE SoUTH.-From the MariPosa pa
Pers we learn that the late rains have extended
there. The Democrat says during the past week
enough water has been furnished by the rains
to enable miners to re-eOmmeneo operations.--
greater quantity Of rain has fallen there than
in an equal period Of time daring the winter.
The crops, such as are not past redemption, are
rapidly reviving under the beneficial change in
the weather. The grass on the plains is also
being much improved, and with short contin-
uancs Of the rain, sufficient pasturage will be
created to save large numbers of cattle, that it
would otherwise be difficult to supply with grass
this summer. These rains furnish evidence Of
the richness of HornitOs diggngs, il a constant
supply Of water could be secured.
The Nevada Democrat., 1858-04-07
nTov.m.nt. OF the Democracy.

II cannot be denied that the Democratic party
is now passing through severe ordeal. The
efforts Of the President and Cabinet TO force an
obnoxious Constitution upon the people Of Kan
sas and the presumptuous endeavors Of q few
Federal ofice-holders and subsidized presses to
make the Kansas policy Of the administration
test of Democratic faith, is having the effect to
call forth the opinions Of the masses Of the par
tv in various sections of the country. Meetings
were being held almost nightly by the Demo
orats of the great States of New York and Penn
svlyania. and the policy of the administration
is generally repudiatsd. The party, however,
in those States is divided, and accounts are con-
aicting as to which wing has the majority
Democratic Conventions were recently held in
Rhode Island and Connecticut, in both Of which
tho Leeomptonites were in min ority. Gen. j..
L. Pratt, Douglas democrat, was nominated
for Governor OF Connecticut, by large major
ity, and in the Rhode Island Convention, reso-
lutons approving the Kansas policy Of the ad-
ministration, were referred to subsequent con-
vention. which was considered equivalent to
their defeat. The position Of Douglas, and
those acting with him. is sustained with great
unanimity by the Democratic masses Of the
Northwest. In Ohio, Indiana aud Illinois, hun
drsds Of meetings had been held by the Democ-
racy, and resolutions unanimously adopted, dis
approving in the strongest terms, the policy Of
admitting Kansas with the Lseompton Consti-
tutien. The Democracy Of those States seem
to be united upon this question. At the mass
meeting Of the Democracy Of Indiana, held at
indianapolis on the 23d Of February, more than
sixty counties were represented, and nearly al
the leading Democrats Of the State participated
In the proceedings The resolutions adopted
at this meeting, an abstract Of which will be
found on our hrst page, are truly national in
their character, and look to thorough rs-Or-
ganization Of the Democratic party. They sus-
tain Senator Douglas in his bold and triumph
ant vindication Of the principles ofpOpular SOW
ereignty, and pledge him the undivided support
of the Democracy Of Indiana. A resolution
was also adopted, recommending that a mass
Convention of the Democracy Of the Northwest,
be held at Chicago, or some other suitable place
at an early day, to give expression to the Opin-
ions, and reterate the principles Of the party.
