FROM MAzATLAN.-The Alta publishes the
following private letter written from Mazat-
Ian, and dated Jan. 2lst:
The only news of public interest here is
the elopement of the vessel of war Ypala, be-
longing to the Liberal party.
The Governor, fearing that the Conserva-
tlves from Topic would attack the place, and
that he would have to evacuate it in hurry
took the precaution of putting on board the
Hpala large assortment of arms and am
munition-amongst the rest thirteen pieces
of cannon, from the laundry recently estab.
llshep here, muskets in large quantity, etc
1t so happened, on the forenoon of the llth
inst. that pretty strong northerly wind was
blowing and that the Captain and most of
the officers were on Shore The crew took
advantage of this state of affairs to slip the
anchor, and without any of the usual form
alities, to set sail for San Bias. On shore all
was alarm, more especially when they saw
the direction the mutineers took. The au-
thorities Immediately sent off the Lord Rag
Ian and the Adelaide in pursuit but in vain,
for when they arrived in San Bias the Ypala
was safely anchored in the inner harbor. The
Liberal Admiral, on board of the Adelaide.
ordered some shots to be fired into the town,
which is in possession of the Conservatives,
and then turned back to Mazatlan.

SILVER ORE IN TUoLUMNE-We have Just
examined some rich specimens of silver taken
from the newly discovered vein at American
Camp, Stanislaus river Messrs McFarlane
and Meredith, of this place, have a claim To-
Gated on the vein, which is said to be some
forty feet in width. The existence of silver
in that region has long been known, having
been discovered by Mexicans who mined in
this vicinity in 80. Since that time, on their
representations, several parties of Americans
have gone in that direction to prospect for
silver, but with little or no success, owing,
probably, to their ignorance of the ore for
which they were searching. .-Sonora Aqe

serious until Saturday evening, when he be-
