CARSON Cry, April 1.-THE late storms expert
enced in the vicinity of Placervie, and the fact
that the country thereabouts was enveloped in
snow, and the mountain passes obstructed, had op-
Grated for several days to retard the emigration to
the western mines The rush, however, recon-
menced within day or two and 500 emigrants
were at Pacerville to-day, on their way to the
mines. The latest accounts from the Washoe mines
represent the weather unfavorable for labor and
the people arriving faster than accommodations for
their living can be provided. Flour is selling at
S50@GO per cwt.; sugar 81 per h., and other ar
tcles of food in proportion. There is but little for
animals, and hay is sold at $3.50 per ton.
The mining accounts are generally of the same
tenor as previously reported. New silver leads
were being discovered daily, but it will require
months to test the value of each lead The mar
vellous richness of the Comstock lead is about the
only evidence relied upon as showing the value of
| the hundred veins discovered. The whole number
! of Letters taken from San Francisco by this Pony
| Express does not exceed TWENTY-FIVE The bark
| BrOoker, with later news from the Sandwich Is
lands was entering the harbor of San Francisco as
| the Express started. An immense mass meeting
was held at San Francisco the 9th inst, to pro-
test against the Bulk Head bill being passed by
the Assembly. The bill is strongly denounced as
! swndle. Its passage by the Assembly is consider
ed foregone conclusion, but great confidence is
| felt that the Governor will veto it. bill appro-
| prIatlng S25O,eOO to open some wagon roads over
| the Sierra Nevada mountains, has passed both
branches of the Legislature. A bill has also pass
ed appropratng $l5, 900 to open the eastern boun-
! dairy of the State. Also, act appro priating
| Sic, 900 to the Deaf, Dumb and Blind 1t contem-
| plates State institution.
| The excitement of the Washoe mines still in
creases There are II 900 Californans in the Ter
ritory. Thousands are leaving San Francisco and
| all other parts of the State. The only routes
