The people of California are waiting
with anxiety FIR Eastern news showing
the disposition of the Southern States on
the dissolution Question, after learning of
Lincoln's e.ection.
All political animosities are greatly
moderated, the Republicans, rs well as
the Democrats, seeming to be fearful of
serious trouble from the present political
condition of the country
The Republican illumination in San
Francisco in honor of Lincoln's election,
was a complete failure. Not SO houses in
the city responded to the call ofi.the State
Central Committee to join in q general i'll
Elimination. Cause: the Republicans gem
orally are not in an exulting mood.
The Sacramento Standard, organ of the
Breckenridge Democracy, assumes that the
dissolution of the Union is inevitable, and
urges California and Oregon to seriously
considerlt the question of organizing sep-
arate republic the Pacific coast. The
idea seems 10 obtain Little sympathy, and
is denounced by large portion of the
press.
The Pony Express, which left st. Jo-
scph on the 9Th, arrived Mt SnE francisco
on tue 10Th, but, from some unexplained
cause, brought no st. Louis letters, thus
deprlying the newspapers of their usual
eastern correspondence New York letters
came through.
Asevere gale Of wind has been prevail
ing throughout the State for the past two
days, which caused Sacramento steamers
to anchor in the Bay, not being able to
land at San Francisco. No serious acct
dent has happened#to shipping in the har-
bor,. although many vessels have chafcd
considerably at the piers between Sacre-
mcnto and Carson Valley. Many of the
telegraph poles are blown down, and the
line cannot be required for some days.
which left st. Louis on the 9Th has not
reached the city, although the Pony got to
Sacramento ut noon to-day, two days
ahead of the schedule time. Official no.
tiee has been given for the condemnation
and sale of the government lime point at
the entrance of tue har6or of San Fran
cisco, for q site on which TO builds fort
The Portland, Oregon, 1tduerflser, of the

Myers, started to meet his brother and
ambulance were scut out from the fort
with blankets, clothing, fresh vegetables,
beef and other neccssaries, which will
meet them near Grande Yande, about the
Sd or 4th inst. The dctails are of most
heartrending character. They were III
perfect state of nudity, having been
stripped by the Indians and left to perish
l.tor ten days previous to their discovery
and had subsistcd upon human flesh, the
l.bodics of those who had pcrished Mrs.
Chase had fed upon the dead body of her

of The 9th Oct, an officer with detach-
ment in advance of the main party, found
near small stream the women aud chill
dren naked and in IL state of starvation
aud greatly emaciated, SO much so that
their ZONES almost5protruded through the
skim The women aud children on seeing
the rescucrs fell on their knees and by the
most piteous walls implorcd food. The
stout hearts of the soldiers were softcned

On receiving the intelligence Mt the
fort, the sensation felt was such as hu-
manity alone eau experience The con
duct of Mnj. Stein, the officer in. command,
was prompt, and every comfort of the fort
which could be transported, was quickly
dispatched to the scene of suffering. The
