Steamboat Explosion and Loss of Life.

The steam ferry boat, Contra Costa, ply
ing between San Francisco and Oakland,
while crossing the Oakland Bar on Sunday
morning last, burst one of her boilers. six
persons are known to have been killed, and
twenty four wounded. 1t is feared that some
we're blown overheard and lost who are not
known. The Contra Costa was racing with
the opposition boat Oakland at the time;
and to this reprehensble cause is attributed
the sad catastrophe.
The -1lta thus describes the appearance Of
the ill-fa1ed boat boat when towed back to
San Francisco:
The smoke stack was laying down over
the left wheel house. The main deck for
ward was covered with ruins and was rails
ed six inches from the posts which support
it. The braces under the guard were, many
of them, banging loose, and the front part Of
the hurricane-deck having been deprived Of
its supporting posts was hanging down like
the timber rim of a worn-out hat.
All the inside works were racked, Joints
of the panels and inside works had been
opened, and all the floors and furniture were
covered with dust, water, coal, fragments Of
clothing and bedding pulu, ETC.
The steamer had two boilers, and the one
on the starboard was completely blown away,
no part of it being left in the boat No
person on board saw the boiler 90; it went
in smoke and steam. 1t must have gone d.
rectly forward and upward at an angle of
about thirty five degrees. The lower deck,
fifteen feet distant from the front Of the boil
er, is shatte red into fine splinters, but, sin
gular to say, that part of the hurricane deck
in front of the chimney was not torn away.
The boiler is an immense iron cylinder,
about fifteen feet long and four and half
feet through, with chimney on one end
some eight feet high and four feet through.
This boiler and chimney must have weigh
ed several tons, and both went together. The
other cylinder has scarcely been moved from
its place.
The Contra Costa is low pressure boat
Of 22O tons burthen, built at San Francisco
in 1857.

Committee for Placer County
Meeting Of the Democratic State Central
Committee.

The Central Committee met at Sacramento in
pursuance of the call of the Chairman, on Satur
day, the 2nd inst. and having unanimously pas
sed the following resolutions, adjourned sine die:
Resolred, By the Democratic State Central
Committee, assembled at Sacramento City, on
Saturday, April I'd, A. D. 1859, that Democratic
State Convention be held at Sacramento City, On
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22d. 1859, for the purpose
of nominating candidates to be voted for at the
September election, 1859.
Resolped, That the basis of representation in
said Convention be one delegate for each county,
and one delegate for every two hundred votes.
and one delegate for fraction of one hundred
votes cast for the highest State Democratic nomi-
nee of the last general election. viz: the votes
cast for Baldwin or Meoney at the general elec
ton in September, 1858.
Resolued, That we recommend to the several
County Committees throughout the State to es-
tablish a test of qualification to govern the pri-
mary MEETINGS which shall be that the person
desiring to participate in said primary meetings
shall declare that he voted for the nominees of
the last regular Democratic Convention, held in
the city of Sacramento, on the 4th day of August,
A. D. 1858, and presided over by Jas. H. Hardy,
or that he indorses the platform of principles
adopted by that Convention.
Resolced, That under the said apportonment
the several counties of the State entitled to
the following number of delegates in said State
Convention:

The Fruit Crop.

Advices from San Jose, Suscol, Napa,
Stockton, and other points, record terrible
devastation among the bossoming fruit trees,
by the night frosts which occurred during
the northern blast of last week. From
Sacramento we get similar unfortunate ac-
counts. Some orchardists, membering the
destructive effects Of March frosts in the two
preceding years, provided themselves with
dry faggots during this winter, which they
piled around among the trees, and in the
frosty nights these made bonfres. How far
this means has proved effective in preserving
the trees, we are not informed. But one fact
seems to excite attention, viz: that while all
orchards in the bottom lands were frost-bt-
ten, those on the hill sides escaped The
same is found to be the case with peas in
blossom, potatoes, and other vegetables
The blight of these crops is extensive They
are mostly on the flats. We are informed
of two instances only where they occur on
hill sides, which are in this county and San
Mateo, and in each of these the fruit trees
show no effect by frost. These facts should
attract attention. Hitherto, only fiat grounds
have been much valued, and nearly all our
vineyards have been, like our orchards, plant
ed in low moist grounds, from choice. The
question arises, is this not a grave mstake9
Alta.
In this section of the country, in the foot
hills, the fruit crop has sustained but little
injury. Apricots and Nectarines have suffered
most; Peaches but little; and Apples, Pears,
Plnms, Cherries and Ounces have entirely
escaped The prospect for bountiful fruit
harvest has never before promised so fairly.
On the plains, in the western part of the
county, we learn, the frost damaged the
fruit buds greatly; but we believe the injury
is not SO great as at first feared.

SACRAMENTO, April 7th

SACRAMENTO, Aprll 1th, lSoV.
Mr.. Editor:-Snce my last we have had
a change for the better in our Capital wealth
er. The thermometer comes up to about
70 fahrenheit, the mornings fresh and balmy,
water carts luxury, &C., DC.
Our Legislator men" have queted down
about moving the big court house from
Sacramento; and since Auburn has been
ignored for future greatness as Capital, they
have exercised their minds somewhat upon
the propriety Of splitting the State open-to
look at the inards suppose
Your readers will recollect that in my
last l reflected somewhat upon the action
of Mr.. Speaker, in the appointment of the
committee, to examine into certain rumors,
which were being banded about, by very
independent and reliable papers, concerning
frauds and devilment generally, at the State
Prison. l have since then, been assured by
that gentleman, that did him injustice
that he was not in the House when the de-
bate occurred on the resolution Of Mr..
Hines, and that he appointed the committee
the following morning before he had an op-
portunity Of reading the debate in the pa
pers-that he had no reason to suppose
them other than impartial men. AS have
no desire to do any one injustice, | freely
give him the benefit Of his statement. |
think the reports of that days proceedings
show that he was granted leave Of absence,
and although he did not leave the city, he
was absent from the House. This commit
tee has not reported yet, but | understand
will this week-we'll see then if the noun
tain brings forth monster or a mouse.
Theatricals are at fever heat here at this
time. The Jones and the Anderson are
running tilt at each other tonight Both
have attractive bills, and both Of them are
good in their parts. | saw Miss Jones in

LePislatiYe.

The Legislature, during the past week
has been pushing forward business with a
rapidty that indicates an adjournment at an
early day, probably the 18th, the time fixed
upon by the House. Some important bills
of general nature have been passed in the
Houses where originated with favorably pros
poets of becoming laws. A large number
OF local bills have also been considered and
passed. In the Senate, Mr.. Anderson's bill
extending the benefits of the Homestead
Law to unmarried persons passed by de-
cided majority. The Senate indefinitely
postponed the the bill for the better observ-
ance of the Sabbath. A bill was introduced
to authorize payment in full to be made for
lands purchased wholly or in part on credit.
The object Of this bill is, to allow parties to
pay up the balance Of their purchase
and get their certificate Of purchase instead
of its remaining at interest. The bill ceding
the Lime Point, San Francisco, to the Fed
eral Government was passed. The San Fran
cisco Bulkhead bill was postponed until Fri
day. The bill to raise revenue to create
Chinese Police Fund was indefinitely post
poned Bill introduced authorizing the
Board of Supervisors Of Sutter county to
subscribe $4,000 to the Marysville and San
Francisco Railroad.
In the Assembly bill providing for pla,
cling the moneys arising from the sale of the
10th and seth sections of school lands into
general fund for the common schools Of
the State, was passed, but afterward recon
sidered and defeated by decided majority
The Senate bill for the restoration of the old
Attachment law was recommitted with in
structions to insert provision for the pro
rata distribution Of the assets Of insovent
debtors. The House refused to reconsider the
vote by which the bill passed giving the con-
sent of the State to the formation Of the Ter
ritory of Colorado out Of the Southern coun
ties. A bill granting certain parties the right
to construct a railroad through the streets of
San Francisco, was defeated by refusal to
engross. The Senate bill to appropriate
$4,000 to the completion Of the Ell Dorado
Wagon Road was defeated by the House, by
vote of 43 noes to 25 ayes. The bill re-
commencing the calling of State Constitu-
tional Convention passed by vote of SO
ayes to Is noes. On Thursday the bill APP
proprating $50, 900 to the Ell Dorado Wag-
on road, was again got before the House
and made the special order for Tuesday.

Excitement in San Francisco.

The public mind of San Francisco has
been unusually excited by an expose of the
excessive cruelty of Capt. Pendleton, (of the
vessel Sarah Park, lately arrived at the Bay,)
toward his seamen. For the slight offence
of stealing bread, to appease the cravings Of
hunger, this man most inhumanly beat sew
eral Of his men, and put them in irons in a
dark hole below, where they were confined
for weeks without being permitted to come
upon deck. Upon the arrival Of the vessel
at San Francisco, the Captain made COM
plant against two of his men for stealing.
Upon the men being arrested and taken to
the L. S. Marshal's their wretched and en-
aciated condition led to an inquiry that re-
suited in bringing to light the monstrous
outrage of the Captain upon them. Upon
examination, the Captain was committed
to Jail to stand trial upon the serious
charge brought against him. In the mean
while dense crowd of people had gathered
about the U. S. Marshal's, and Maj. Solo
mon found it necessary to enrol a posse Of
thirty men to escort his prisoner safely to
Jail. The crowd followed the culprit to the
doors Of the prison, with cries of "Hane
him." "Lynch him." etc, threw ciods and
sticks, and made a rush for the prisoner as
he was being taken up the steps of the Jail
They tore portion of his clothing from his
back, but the officers succeeded in getting
him safely within the prison walls, much tt
the relief of the frightened man. The ex
citement for a time was intense. The jai
guard was strengthened from fear of an at
tack. but the sober second thought returning
in time to the crowd, it quietly dispersed.

TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT AT SAN FRAN.

TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT AT SAN FRAN
CIsCo.-A combination has been formed in
San Francisco to control the liquor Market
The combination has bought up all the
brandy and whiskey from the importers, and
intend putting up the prices That is one Of
the best temperance movements made in a
long time. If it was flour combination
public Indignation would be excited-but
who cares if liquor goes up; much better
that way than the downword tendency it has
had so long in California
The Placer herald., 1859-04-09

DhAPIDArED.-The wharves in San Fran.
cisco are represented to be in very dilap-
dated condition. Scarcely night passes
but what some unfortunate stranger tumbles
through some one of the man traps. On
Wednesday, saye the Call, pair Of heavy
draught horses went through California street
wharf, and landed some six feet in the mud
The above is as strong an argument for a
Bukhead as could be put in three column

on the Golden Gate Claim at Bath, on Satur-
