LATER FROM CALIFORNIA.

The arrival of the California overland mail was
announced under the telegraphic head Yesterday.
We have received further intelligence which we
present below:
MALLoY's STATION, Jan. 23.-The Overland Mail
from San Francisco on the I'd inst has passed this
station en- route for St. Louis.
The California Legislature was to meet on the I'd
inst. 1t was considered probable that the organi-
zaton of the House would be postponedt the next
day. The Moore interest is said to favor the cleo
tiOn ofMr. Weller to the United States Senate and
by inference the reelection of Mr.. Gwin a year
hence; although Washington's friends claim that
he will then be competitor. StevensOn's friends
are supposed to favor Gen. Denver's election this
winter and Mr.. Latham to succeed Mr.. Gwin.-
The control of the organization of the Legislature
will be strong point in favor Of the candidate
whose friends secure it.
A Democratic caucus was to be held Mt Sacra-
mento on the evening of the I'd, to nominate Legis-
lative officers.
The weather continues extremely cold at Carson
Valley. There will be great mortality among the
Indians unless it moderates. The carcases of dead
cattle scattered all along the Trucke and
Humboldt rivers.
F. H. Carson, who recently returned from the
Sink of Carson Valley, reports very little snow in
that vicinity The Indians were living the cattle
drowned while attempting to the river on the
ice The cattle were generally doing well.
The settlers at the Big Bend were running their
horses to the Sink.
THE SAN FRANCISCO MARKETs-YEARLY REvIEw-THE
EXPORTS OF SPECIE, ETC.
SAN FRANCIsCo, Jan. 1.-The past has been an
eventful year in the San Francisco market. 1t has
been glutted throughout.
The tonnage arrived from the domestic and At
lantic ports amounted to 157076, against ia, ,S2l
tons in 1858; l09,525 in 1857; l40,370 in 1856
The tonnage from Great Britain l3 ,458, against
l6737 in 1858; 1892 in 1857; ll,729 in 1856
From Europe, lOOl5, against 6,469 in 1858; 12,671
in 1857; 1884 in 1856. From China, PISA,
against 90 379 in 1858; 1884 in 1857, and 81 100
in 1856.
The exports other than treasure, for the year,
show an increase 1858 of $3.50, 900. The quick
silver exports during the same period have fallen
off $3.50, ,000 This is accounted for by the closing
of the New Almaden mine during legal pro-
ceedings.
During the year SO, 1876 passengers Eave arrived
at San Francisco by steamers and "a, ISL departed.
About 80, 600, it is believed, crossed the Plains.
The gold exported during the year amounted to
SAT ,640, ,462 against about the same amount in
1858.
The mining reviews show that the mines have
been about ordinarily successful. The business
seems to have become settled, and no material
change in the product is likely for many years.
The most encouraging feature is the steadily in
creasing area of the mining region on the Pacific
Coast such as the supposed valuable mines North of
Columbia river, in Oregon and Washington-tbe
new gold and silver mines in Nevada Territory,
with strong indications of an extensive mining re-
gion along the Eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada
The products of the State in which there has
been the greatest increase have been wheat wool
and fruit, each of which have been about double
There has been great increase in the exports of
timber
The real estate sold in San Francisco within the
year amounted to 5000 l24 against S3,S2G, LAG in
1858. Over two millions were invested in building
improvements, a large excess over former years.
The only articles at present moving are liquors.
&c. Since the last report the demand for foreign
liquors has been quiet. Sales of 800 octaves of
American brandy at S46947.50; 500 barrels of
whiskey at $4O@4l; ITO pipes of pure spirits at
40@4 cents.
A letter received by this mail from Long Valley
says the Eel River Rangers were doing effective
service in quelling the Indians. They had pitched
battle with SO Indians and killed thirty and wound
ed thirty. In another fight they killed 80 and took
2S prisoners
