SACRAMENTO IrlNs.-We copy from
the Sacramento Union of February 25th
and Goth, the following items: The
steamers Montana and Panama, arrived
in San Francisco on Saturday afternoon,
February 33d, bringing New York mails
of February lst. Gen. Corona captured
Colims, the only point of Importance on
the Pacific coast that remained in the
hands of the Imperial party. The city
Of Stockton has been partially Hooded
by the Calaveras. A man BY the name
Of John W. Miller, committed suicide,
by taking strychnine. Louis z. Hagan,
an old resident Of Sacramento, died
suddenly on the 25th of February.
Work has commenced on the the Or
leans Hotel to raise it to the high grade.
On the 25th the river gague showed the
water to be l9 feet six inches above low
water-mark. A long letter from Mark
Twain appears in the Union of the 25th.
The news in the, Union is Of little in
terest, most Of it having been transmit
ted by the Overland telegraph. One
copy Of each date, since the roads was
closed up, was brought in BY Mr.. Gran
dali, who arrived this morning, having
met the eIpressman, and came back
with the express.
EXPRESS ARRIvAL.-Ar. Crandall, the
lively agent of Wells, Fargo b Co., in
Virginia city, passed up through Gold
Hill this morning, at about 10 o'clock,
with several large packages of express
letters, IA portion for this town. which
were brought over the Placerville route
on snow-shoes. We believe he met the
carrier, who was bringing them, in the
u~eighborhood Of Fridays Station. This
express experiment on snow-shoes. now
that the snow-storms have somewhat
abated, may be expected to be a regular
thing every day or two. The latest
dates from Sacramento are to the eth
Of February-six days.
SLIDING DowS.-Yesterday afternoon
we were down at the Crown Point mine
and noticed that the melting snow on
the large dump of waste rock of the
south SHAFT of the Yellow Jacket mine
was giving way and sliding down in
large flakes. From present appearances
we would lot be surprised if it would
up Crown Point street. Some
time since the Yellow Jacket Company
built a large wall to conine this waste
rock, but the pressure was SO great that
it did not stand. Teams have been N
ever since in hauling this waste
rock away and putting it on the road.
DANCING ScHooL.-Professor Milling
will open a Dancing School at the
Gold Hill Theater, on next Saturday
evening. Young gentlemen who are
DESTROYS of learning the graceful art
will will now have u chance. Professor
Nillington has a good reputation as a
teacher, is a very agreeable gentleman,
and his terms are quite moderate. If
we had a dozen boys, every one Of them
should learn to dance.
FrxALr CHIyAAAs.-This morning, in
the office of Wells. Fargo & Co., in Vir-
GINA, . Chinese lady was overhauling
her stock Of goods. It had evidently
never been unlocked since she left the
Celestial Kingdom. She had several
trunks boxes and packages, all filed
with Chinese articles, all Of which had
the peculiar smell of Chinese goods. A
person going into the Office might easily
mistake it for q Chinese custom-house.
