atile time in tu ruing the stream, one hundred and sixty-eight thousand dollars, and then sold out their claims for thirteen thousand. On the other side,” continues this paper, “ we have the ex perience of some twenty men, whom we have j met within the last ten days, who have just re- j turned from both southern and northern mines, j after spending the whole summer in vain search ing for gold.” The election was to have taken place on the ; 7th October, and appears to be the all absorbing j question of the day. The candidates for the ; various offices are almost innumerable, and it is 1 said that an associate justice of the Superior Court was to be chosen, to succeed the present j Chief Justice, P. A. Morse, whose term expires i on the first day of January next. The accounts from the overland emig f * j are of the most painful description. H e find j that a requisition on the Collector ot rian cisco, for an advance of one hundred thousand dollars, has been suggested, and that it is likely the distressed citizens will resort to that means of alleviating their distress. VVe are pleased to notice that the improv ements in the city of San Franci.-co are progressing very rapidly, and that by the time tin; rainy season sets in, the streets will he substantially planked. The weather was rather pleasant. In most parts of the country there had been a great deal of rain, and it was said to have been ex- j tremely cold in the mountains. [From the San Francisco J. of Commerce, Oct. I.] News from the Pacific Side o 1 the Union. Since our last despatch, events and affairs of stirring importance have engrossed our atten tion, and deserve to be noticed in our present j issue.* The most prominent event of the period has ; been the fire, which laid so large and valuable a portion of our city in ashes. We are happy to as sure our friends in the Atlantic states that our an-! ticipatfohs of the recuperative results of Ameri can energy and enterprise, in obliterating the tra- j ees of desolation which the lire had left, and caus ing anew and better class of buildings to rise, j as if by magic, from the very ashes of those j destroyed, have been more than realized in the j brief period which has elapsed since the coufla- 1 gration. Nor has trade suffered by it, nor credit ! and confidence been abated in any branch of | legitimate business. The money and lumber necessary for replenishing the burnt district j were ready when required : anil ere the. ashes were yd. cold, crowds of men might be seen a! work. | clearing the ruins, and commencing the work of reconstruction. The energies and resources of j San Francisco are not to he paralyzed by four j lires of large extent, even in the short space of nine months. Jn a few days, her principal j thoroughfares have been graded, planked and ; sewered; and to a great extent tlie fire only j levelled a mass of houses, which it would have j l>een expensive to have elevated or adjusted to j the grade, and compelled the erection of more I suitable buildings on the proper level, and with , all the advantages of the new improvements, j The season tor brisk trade in San Francisco is j now arrived, and business people could not | afford to lose time by any tedious process of reconstruction; and greater energy and dispatch ! was manifested in repairing the damages sus- | tabled by this lire than in any of the former, j This speaks volumes for Sail Francisco, as a j place of business, and for the spirit and resources j of tier citizens. It is well, however, that luin- j her is still plentiful, and building contractors nu- j nierous and wealthy enough to speed the work ! of reconstruction. The time will come when even our present large stocks of lumber will be used up, or perhaps destroyed by fire; and then lumber will pay the early importers a profit which may compensate for former losses; but then, also, will fires in San Francisco, or any other part of California, he felt to be no nine days’ wonder, nor be so easily recovered from as heretofore. Against that period we must j make active preparations, botli of a preventive and provisional nature, to meet such emer gencies. With regard to our city affairs, we are sorry to be compelled to report in terms of mingled praise and blame. Much has been done which deserves credit; but much has been left un done, or defectively performed, which was of the utmost importance, and ought not to have been neglected. And besides, much dissatisfac tion has been felt bv the public at the spirit dis played by the city council in reference to the adjustment of salaries. Asa set off for the veto of the Mayor on their ordinance voting themselves salaries of SI,OOO each, the Alder- j men passed a fresh bill enlarging the salaries of | the principal city officers, but voting the .Mayor ‘ only $10! This was paltry spite, and has in-j j ured the council very much in the estimation of! the community. It exhibits a most unseemly j controversy between the legislative and execu tive branches of our city government, which, if not abandoned, and becoming courtesy and good feeling restored, will lead to an interference on the part of the people, which will certainly not be agreeable to the council, however decid ed it may be in its effects. The people are now beginning to feel the neces sity of a stringent oversight and control of their public servants, and of a more careful and ju dicious selection of men of standing, character, and stake in the community, as candidates tor public offices. There lias been too much laxity ; and party legerdemain in our former elections; | but the people begin to experience the evils which j result from the election of mere place-hunters j and political schemers; and wo expect abetter j class of men to be returned by this election. The ! crude and reckless legislation of the Assembly | lias given to innumerable complaints, and j the next will have enough to do to ; rectify the mistakes which have already been j committed. And then again, in the city council, j we have had the most deplorable proofs of sor did selfishness and mercenary designs, of latent corruption and occult malv ersation, \v hu h need I exposure and popular denunciation. When par- j venues become rich by one year's administration of city affairs, it needs no detail of evidence to j justify the presumption of corrupt jobbery and i malversation. The principle of honor and pub- ! lie spirit is laughed at as chimerical and absurd : : and self-aggrandizement is the only motive of i the mercenary crew of parvenue place-hunters ‘ and political schemers in California. Dear- : bought experience will, however, teach the peo ple the madness and folly of trusting their af- fairs ami resources in such unworthy hands, and tiie wisdom and necessity of choosing men of a higher stamp of character and competency, who shall be independent in circumstances, and above the meanness alike of flattering their constituents before election, and of hoodwinking and plundering them nflerwards. The entire tone and aspect of society in San j Francisco are undergoing a marked and favor- j able change. A strong sentiment of disappro- j bation against intemperance and gambling, j against loafing and rowdyism, is fast gamin., ground; and is sustained and countenanced by all who wish to be regarded as lespectable members of society. Churches and schooL are becoming objects of earnest solicitude and practical interest throughout the State; and the arrival of families ami of respectable females amongst us has evoked tliarattention to public j decorum ami to personal decency and civility which was formerly neglecteddo a very consul- , erable extent. Social intercourse is now altogether on a j better and more wholesome footing; and the heterogeneous elements of the community are j beginning to blend harmoniously, and to mingle ■ in friendly unison and honorable courtesy in the j affairs of life. All we want to complete this J liappy change, is the increase of family and female immigration; and we think the dav is i not far distant when thousands who are now in j California only with a view of making a pile j and returning to their families, will find it to their ! account to prolong their residence here and to send for their families to reside here with them. And when they come they shall see beauties and enjoyments in California, which may induce them eventually, to make their homes in this j fert'le and sunny land, where untold riches can j yet be made, and where character and enter prise will achieve a position in society and in I the States, which could not so easily be attain ed in older and less favored communities. The state of the interior is decidedly better than it threatened to be some time ago. The j poerations in the fall promise to be lucrative on j the whole; and an immense return of gold is } confidently expected to he realized. Thousands who have been unsuccessful in their in dividual exertions, will find employment of some sort in the mines as hired, labosers; and I many will turn to farming aim other pursuits of i a more congenial nature. The prospect of a j fine winter is already anticipated; and no lack of comfort and subsistence will be felt any more. Towns and stores and steamers have brought the interior into a position which renders the mining population perfectly easy as to their I winter supplies, and as to the result of their winter campaign. Men are everyday uniting in companies and making arrangements for per severing and extending operations; and bye and bye, we shall have joint stock companies and machinery on a large scale, to work the ex haustless mines of California. The permanent settlement of a large mining population in the interior, wifi create a field for agricultural and grazing operations; and these again wiii give a new aspect to the social character and commer cial interests of the State. [From the Alta California, Oct. I.] SAD NEWS FltOM TIIE PLAINS. STARVATION CHOREE A INDIAN DEPREDATIONS 20,000 PERSONS VET BEYOND THE DESERT. \v e are indebted to Hawley & Co.'s Express for the Sacramento Tnmscripl of yesterday, con taining two letters from Capt. Waldo, one writ ten at Great Meadow, Humboldt River, the other dated Truckee River, Sept. !5. He states that the Relief Committee have not a single pound of flour east of the mountains; j that he entered the Desert on the 7th inst., met J two men who had given up to die from starva- I tion; same day two men died of starvation on Carson Desert; that those with wagons have no food hut their poor exhausted animals; that footmen sit! sist on the putrefied flesh of the dead animals along the road, and disease and death are c-< usoquently sweeping them down. — j The ciiolt ra made its appearance on the Bth; j ! eight persons out of a small train died of it in | three hours. The Indians take every advan- ! ; tage to steal their animals, and thus many are j j left more than six hundred miles beyond the j i settlements. Fighting between them and the j j emigrants occurs almost daily. Twenty thou-j sand persons are yet beyond the Desert, of j which number fifteen thousand “are now desti- ! j tuteof all kinds of provisions, yet the period of i sh- ir greatest suffering has not arrived. It will j I lie impossible for ten thousand of this number j | to reach the mountains before the commence- | i incut of winter.” From the Truckee to the head of the Hum- | ; habit the cholera is killing them off; the sick \ j surround the Truckee station unable to pro- j j ceed. Capt. W. was about starting to try to persuade such as are from four to six hundred | miles back, to return to Salt Lake. He calls for ; ten thousand pounds of flour for the station at j Truckee, and the same amount for the sum mit. lie says that those hack several hundred | miles will die by starvation unless relieved. We regret our inability to give as much of his ! communications as we could wish. He asks ; for contributions, and offers to the city council ! ] his claim to ten thousand dollars’ worth of prop- j j erty, if they will forward that amount in flour | and articles for the sick to that place. His re- | ! port is fearful. A black man from Boston rode I express four hundred miles with the informa- I tion. Cannot something be done to save the j lives of these our countrymen and friends? : Many of them are women and children, widows and orphans, their husbands and lathers having died with the cholera. Health or Sacramento. —It will he perceived, from the annexed report, says the Times, (hat a serious increase of mortality has prevailed in ourcity during the past week. This, as we are assured by Mr. Younians, is owing to the large influx of immigrants from the Plains, among whom, in consequence of the hardships to which they have been exposed, and the diseases to which they have become subject on the way, great mortality has prevailed. The number of deaths among the old residents of the city — those we mean who have become acclimated— is not beyond the usual average. Our climate is still entitled to the credit of being healthful and salubrious to a remarkable degree, and might safely be resorted to by those who are quitting the pleasant circles of home, for scenes of ad venture in the great world, that terra incognita to so many of its people.

AYER’S ClicriT Pectoral. • FOR THE CURE OF Coughs, Col-h, Hoarseness, Bronchitis, Whoop ing-Coughs, Croup , Asthma and Consumption. This truly valuable remedy for all diseases of the lungs and throat, has become the chief reliance of the afflicted as it is the most certain cure known for the above complaints. While it is a powerful remedial agent in the most desperate and almost hopeless cases of Consumption, it is also, in diminished doses, one ol the mildest and most agreeable family medicines forcom mon coughs and colds: Read below the opinion of men who are known to the world, and the. world respect their opinions. rom Professor Hitchcock, James C. Aver —Sir: I have used your “Cheery Pectoral” in my own case of deep seated Bronchitis, and am satisfied from its chemical constitution that it is an admirable compound for the relief of laryngial and bronchial difficulties. If my opinion as to its superior j character can he of any service you are at liberty to use j it as you think proper. EDWARD HITCHCOCK, L, L. D„ President of Amherst College. i From /hr “London Lancet “Arm's Cherry Pectoral” is one of the most val uable preparations that has fallen under our notice. After a careful examination, we do not hesitate to say we have a large appreciation of its intuits and the fulle.-t cotifi- : deuce in its usefulness for coughs and lung complaints.” \ Dr. Brewster, of Windham co., Conn., sends us the following testimony: Dr. J. C. Ayer—Dear Sir: I enclose you a certificate from Mrs. Catharine K. Cady, a highly respectable ladv of this village, with of Mr. Seth Cady, Deputy Sheriff, Windham co.. Conn. The cure in her case was very prompt, and lias attracted general attention. W. A. BREWSTER, M. D. West Killingi.y, Ct., Sept. 23, 1843. This may certify that I was afflicted with a very severe cough in the winter of ’47-8, which threatened to ter minate in consumption. I had tried many medicines in vain, and was cured bv the use of “Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral.” CATHARINE K. CADY. Direct Evidence. Dr. J.C. Ayer, Lowell —Dear Sir: Feeling under obli gations to you for the restoration of my health, I send you ■ a report of my case, which you are at liberty to publish : ; for the benefit of others. Last autumn I took a bad cold, ‘ ! accompanied by a severe cough, and made use of many i medicines without obtaining relief. I was obliged to | give up business, frequently raised blood, and could get |no sleep at night. A friend gave me a bottle of your Cherry Pectoral, the use of which I immediately commenced according to directions I have just pur : chased the fifth bottle, and am nearly recovered . I now ! sleep well, my cough has ceased, and all by the use of your valuable medicine. E. S. STONE, A. AL, Principal Mt. Hope Seminary. From Dr. Bryant, Druggist and Postmaster, Chicopee ; Falls, Mass: Dr. J. <7. Ayer—Dear Sir: Enclosed please find re ! mittance for all the Cherry Pectoral last sent me. I j can unhesitatingly say, that no medicine we sell gives ; such satisfaction as your’s does; nor have I ever seen a medicine which cured so many cases o i cough and lung j complaints. Our physicians are using it extensively in i their practice, and with the happiest effects. Truly yours, D. M. BRYANT. 1 Prepared by J. C.
