The San Francisco correspondent of the
Sacramento Union under date of February
2ud, says:
Hol for Guayamas. Stand by TO capture
Sonora Who's afeard of the "Dagos ?" 1t
is stated, on various authority, that band Of
desperately brave soldier boys, who went
through the Mexican campaign and have
since gone through a great deal besides, are
fitting themselves out for military expedition
into Sonora. They will leave here very soon
for Guayamas, blockade that port, and proceed
to march triumphautly through Sonora, unless
circumstances uncomfortable should operate to
prevent the accomplishment of the design
There is one serious drawback to the mmedi-
ate prosecution Of the enterprise The Surgeon
of the ar-mee is in jail-sent there for term
of ninety days, TO be confined fast until the
foul cut done under the influence of camphene
cocktails is washed and purged away. The
Doctor is mlstortunate in getting himself into
limbo just at this time. The expedition can't
move q peg without a regularly bred army
surgeon. DR.. Hitchcock has left the country,
and DR.. Champlain is in Jail. That's bad"

there are some people in this town who affect

Is parely a fiction, and your correspondent is
among the skeptics Certainly no arrange
ments have been made as yet to transport the
troops and mEnitions of war. The only vessel
now on the berth for Guaymas has nearly all
her passenger accommodations engaged by a
company of miners. This company is mostly
composed OF men who have lived iG Sonora
and acquired important mining interests there
Within the last SIX or seven weeks, as | learn
from undoubted authority, two mining compan-
les, forty men each or tkereabout, have left
this place for Sonora. There are, at this time.
/ am told, sufficient number of American and
German miners in Sonora to render anv fill
clustering attempt in that quarter, on q small
scale. quite hopeless. These miners would be
among the first to take arms for the suppression
of an invasion for the conquest of the country.
Their presence in that State is looked upon
by the Government as a great boon. They
receive whatever of protection may be afforded
by the officers of the Government The Apach-
es give them a wide berth. They form the
outposts to guard the lives and property OF
Sonorians against the ravages Of the savage
hordes that have so long overrun the country
and made ruin and desoation in some of its
finest portions. Hence the miner is welcome.

INTERESTING FROM JAPAN-A heavy fall
of snow had occurred at kanagawa, and the
weather is in general much colder than our
California weather
The currency remains unsettled, although
more favorable
On board of the " Webster" we're shipped
some rare and valuable birds-gold and silver
pheasants, which are so valuable in London
that one hundred guineas are readily offered
for every pair delivered alive. Also domestic
fowls, very superior for size and plumage, with
many canaries and sparrows. The remarka-
bly, short passage of the webster" " proved
very favorable to the featherej tribe
Among the cargo are some choice teas, Sc
lected with great care, and said to be superior
to any ever shipped from Japan. They are
put up in lead cases-the first ever sent to San
Francisco. There are also many new articles
of fancy wares. etc.

HUNGARY.-The Hungarians are in utter
terror lest British policy succeed in inducing
Austria to sell Venice before spring. If there
be no war next spring in Italy, Hungary will
wiring her hands in sorrow and disappointment
At present, indeed, the Hungarians are prepa-
ring for that contingency. Numerous arrests
are made; but this only exasperated the affair.

What is far more significant than the De-

the national poet Bogovitch. We all remem-
Der how effectualy the Croats, under Jalla-

that this was blunder And accordingly,
crowds of Croats and Hungarans in fraternal

From Frazer River.

We clip the following items from the British
Colonist of Jan. 26th:
The NEWLY DISCOVERED DIGGYyGs. Three
Canadians and halfbreed Indian, left Alex
ander in August or September, on urtrad
ing expedition above Fort George having
purchased of Dr. Fiat, on credit. a quantity Of
goods suitable for bartering with the Indians
ihey reached the creek in question, trading
along as they went, and observed some Indians
engaged IN panniDg out the gravel of bar
near It's mouth in wooden bowls. Curiosity
prompted them to wash pan of the dirt, and
lhey obtained so flne prospect that they con-
Guided to stop and commence mining. They
ic0rked one reek rilh rude rockers and took out
nearly sir thousand dollars IN coarse gold =
They also prospected two small creeks making
into the large creek on which they worked, and
got still better prospects.
The steamer Caledonia arrived from New
Westminster Thursday night She brought a
lew passengers and about $4,000 in gold dust.
Frazer River is frozen over from Fargo's Bar
to the foot OF the Little Canon, and commun-
cation with Hope, ale and Douglas, is entire
ly suspended. Heavy SHOWS are reported as
having fallen in the mountains, and at New
Westminster on Wednesday night, there was
heavy fall. Yesterday morning the snow
lay over foot deep. Mining operations have
been stopped for the season, and the cold has
been intense at Yale and Hope The Cariboo
expressman had not arrived at last adyices-
Business was very dull along the river, and
owing to the depth of SNOW, Dunbar had not
started for Rock Greek.
BEACH HMINING.-Ye Yesterday another report
was brought to town regarding the beach
diggings between Sooke and San Juan harbor.
1t was brought by Indians, who say that there
are seven men engaged in rocking for gold on
the beach; but how much it pays they cannot
tell They mention one company of four, an
other OF three and another of two persons as
working there. The report is very vague, and
by no means reliable.
The SAN JUAN HARBcR GOLD MINES
We have conversed with miner from this new
Undiscovered auriferous region. He says his
company obtained some fine prospects in No
vember last. They then came to town for
provisions, and when they got back to their
claims, found the creek high and the weather
so cold as to preclude mining. The gold OBJ
tanned is in coarse scales about the size of
musk-mellon seeds A party will start for the
vicinity as soon as the weather moderates

KNIGHTS OF TIE GOLDEN CIRcLE.-The fol-
lowing communication is from the San Fran
cisco Evening Journal
Mr.. EDITOR: AS you are opposed to the
Knights of the Golden Circle, | wish to sug-
gest through your columns the propriety of
propounding the following question, by the
Legislature of this State, to candidates for the
United States Senate Are you a member of a
certain secret association known as the Golden
Circle, having for its object the establishment
of Southern Republic, composed of Sonora.
chihuahua Lower California, Arizona, Mexi-
co, New Mexico, Kansas, Missouri. Louisiana,
a portion Of Georgia, portion of Alabama,
and South Carolina, Mississippi and Texas
From what know of the workings of the So
ciety in general during the last six years, am
of the opinion that upon this question being
propounded to the candidates, there will be at
least one aspirant less. We have enough of
these valorous knights in the United States
Senate already, and | hope if we send any man
there we will send Union man.
BLIND MAN
HsA, The Louisville Journal says: This Sc
cession movement is founded on reasons purely
selfish. The principal men engaged in it have
not acted the matter for the first time They
have cherished this purpose for a long time,
and only seize this opportunity to carry it out
an opportunity they have made themselves.
The pretext of equal rights in the Territories
is shallow. If they could secure an equal share
of the Territories permanently there would be
some sense in it but they propose no such
thing. States will do as they please, and they
know it. They will exclude slave property if
they desire, and these secessionists have no
remedy, and propose none. A great fuss is
made about slavery for year or two in a Terri
tory, and there it is all TO end. 1t is asking US
to believe rather too much TO ask US to believe
this little matter great affair.
The chief captains in this secession move
ment have reasons more substantial. The pol
iticians think they can be more in a Southern
Confederacy than they can be IN the Union
Others think their seaport towns will be the
great marts of trade which now goes princi-
paly to northern ports. They think slave la
Dor can be had cheaper, whilst the price of
their great staple will be enhanced. They
dream of getting Mexico, and Cuba, and Cen
tral America, and building up great Southern
Confederacy. They have dwelt on the pros
pect until it is quite enchanting. These bor
der slave States are to play a secondary part
in this grand achievement, and take care Of
themselves as best they can, whilst South Car
oina politicians are glorifed to the full measure
of their conceit. Charleston is to be the New
Y ork of the South, and Louisville is to be a
little frontier town, exposed to all the evils of
such locality. Kentucky is TO be subseryi-
ent to the ambition of South Carolina, and
play second fiddle to the whole movement. Let
the border States, then, take care of themselves,
for their interests will not be considered by the
extremists

RUMORED Ian OF THE CAMPAIGN
IN VIRGINIA.
Troops to enter at three points.
FIRST BATTLE AT CULPEPPER.

WASHINGTON, May Is. The government
keeps its own secrets, and does not announce
its plans in the newspapers. But the following
rumors are ahoat today Virginia is to be
entered by the troops at three different points,
next week. Gen Butler goes to Annapolis
this afternoon, to concentrate all the Massa-
chusetts forces into a brigade, and from thence
to Fort Monroe. 1t is reported that Gen. Nc
Clellan will enter western Virginia at the head
OF the western troops, simultaneously with
Gen. Buffers movement upon Norfolk and
column of regulars will move forward from
Washington. Within fortnight, the Massa
chusetts troops under Butler will have posses
S ion of Gosport navy yard, or destroy it.
The garrison of Fort Monroe is to consist
of about 5000 men, and a camp of $4,000 or
10000 will be created outside the fort under
Gen. Butler. 1t is understood that all the men
now enrolled and offered in various states who
will serve for three years will be accepted.
The rebels of Virginia have been supplying
themselves via the Rappahannock River.
This fact has been discovered by one OF Gen.
Buffers brigade, and the river has been block
AIDED.
A secession battery has been discovered,
Wllllu lCW udysj dl hldllleA L Olnli OIL tIie
Virginia side OF the Potomac. L he battery is
on TOO high land to be successfully attacked
by ship of war, but the rebels there will soon
be disposed of from another direction.
Richmond is the point Of early attack. Gen.
Cooke has six thousand well armed troops at
Culpepper, expecting an early attack. Scat
tered between there and Alexandria are nearly
three thousand, who are not expected to show
fight until they have retreatcd on the M in
body at Culpepper.
1t is considered by military authorities that
the proper course will be to march direct to
Culpepper, and thence, if possible, to Char
lottesvlle where are now twenty-five hundred
troops, and thence to Lynchburg, as may be
deemed best. There will also be dispatched
forces by Acquia Creek and large force by
way OF Norfolk, 50 that on all sides Richmond
will be invested. Probably the first encoun-
Ter will be at Culpepper.
EX-Gov. Wise of Virginia is riously ill.
His lite is dcspaired of.
WASHINGTON, May l9.-The transportation
of immense bodies Of troops to For ress Mon
roe will take place with the least possible de-
lay. Major General Butler will forthwith re
pair thither. There he will establish his head
quarters as commandant of the new military
department of Virginia. North Carolina, and
Tennessee. These facts are significant of fu-
ture events.

FROM CALIFORNIA.

Fort KEARNEY, May 19.-The pony ex-
press, with San Francisco dates of the Sth, has
arrived. The markets are generally very
firm, holders believing that eastern shipments
will be checked. Thirty thousand gallons of
spirit, turpentine had been sold at 81 Is per
gallon, and holders ask 81 80. Butter was
firm; Carolina rice STE; sugar had advanced
an eighth
The civil war was the all engrossing topic,
thousands congregating the streets on the
arrival OF the pony express. The sentiment in
favor OF sustaining the government is almost
unanimous. A committee of forty prominent
citizens had called Union meeting for the
1lth, inviting the fremen and military TO par
ticipate and recommending a suspension of
business. Union meetings were being held all
over the state, and the loyalty of California is
beyond question. The Douglas democratic
committee by IS to 5, had rejected all impor.
tunites to unite with the Brecklnrldgers, and
they will call state convention.
Gov. Downey has sent message to the le'
gisiatnre recommending an appropriation OF
10000 to pay the expenses OF calling out an
armed force to compel the settlers OF Santa
Clara to abandon the land according to the
decree of the court. 1t is thought that the af'
fair, under the present state of the country
will be postponed for this year. The senate
had taken action for calling a special congress
sional election for the 18th of June, which
passed the house.
