ST.. JosEPH, Mo-, Oct. 10.--Dates to September
18th are received tonight by the Pony Express
1 from California.
SAN FRANcIsco, Sept. 2s.--on the morning Of
the 9th, the old Musical Hall building, corner OF
Montgomery and Rush streets, San Francisco, was
| destroyed by fire. Loss about $50 900.
The first ton of silver ore from the New Casa
mines arrived at San Francisco on the 9th. It is
| of high degree Of richness.
| Favorable accounts have been received from
the party engaged in digging wells in the desert on
| the route from San Bernardino TO Fort YUMA
| Three wells, having an abundance of water, are
| completed.
The last Legislature appropriated 5000 for dig.
ging wells that route with the view of shorten
ing the overland mail route if successful. The ex-
pertinent OF establishing camel express between
Los Angeles and Fort Maguirewas commenced on
the 2lst, when the first camel was dispatched from
Los Angeles.
The grape crop in the southern counties yields
well this year, and the wine product will be
greatly increased on account OF great number of
new vineyards which have commenced bearing.
A large immigration is reported on the way
from Salt Lake to San Bernardino and other south
ern counties, composed partially Of Eastern inmi-
grants, bat principally Of dissatisfied Saints
The news from Carson Valley il unimportant in
d mining sense. The overland immigration was
arriving in considerable numbers the stock in ex-
cellent condition. The principal parts OF the i'm
migration are from Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin
and Iowa.
NE latest news from Oregon comes by Overland
Mail 10 Yaka, the Northern terminus Of the Cali
iorHa telegraph system, and is thence teegraphed
to San Francisco. The accounts have become
confused and contradictory, rendering it difficult
TO arrive at correct condition Of affairs. On the
18th, the latest date, tie best statement that can
be made from conflicting accounts is, that the
House, on the 10th, passed resolution inviting the
Senate to meet in joint convention to elect q. S.
Senator. The Senate, although without quorum
accepted and went into convention with the House,
and after twenty ballots without choice the

of this adjournment, the Senate keeping MP its
organization by adjourning from time to time with

Transmitted the sine die resolution of adjournment
to the Senate, and that body laid it on the table,
The Oregon State Constitution contains clause
which says neither House shall have power to adj
iourn, without the consent Of the other, for a
longer period than three days. The Senate refused
to adjourn, and insisted that the adjournment of
the House was without their consent and unconsti.
futonal, while on the other hand, the members of
the House claimed that there was no Senate to ask
consent OF, as the Senate had been organized with
out quorum. Soon after the determination
| Of the Senate not to adjourn became generally
| known, and after many OF the members of the
House had left for their homes, the Speaker
of the House convened all the members of the
hitter body that the sergeant-at-Arms could
possibly drum mp, and proceeded to do business for
several hours, taking notice of the adjournment

ings. After re-assembliug, the House adopted a
resolution appointing five members to confer with
the President of the Senate aud Governor of the
state relative to devising some plan by which the
organization of The Senate may be perfected.
A later dispatch on the 25th, states that the six
absent Senators who had thus far prevented an
organization of the Senate, had returned to Salem
and purposed taking their seats No explanation
u given of the political consequences Of their
return.
So the question now appears to be whether the
House was really adjourned sine die, SO that the
session cannot be renewed until the constitutional
period arrives.
