From Californio.
The steamship Georgia arrived at New-York from
Obagres via Uavana on Saturday afternoon, with
330pa«iensers, having left 250 at Havana to go to
Mew-Orleana by the Ohio. She also brings #1,100,-
000 in Gold dull. We make the following abstract
of her news:
F*om Havana.-—The Georgia left Havana, on the
evening of the 2d inst. Every thing was quiet on the
Island, and Americans were permitted to go on shore
at Uavana, without difficulty. The American steam-
ers were also allowed to be moored at their docks,
A bttter’foeling was manifestly prevalent, and the
Lopet expedition apparently nearly forgotten.
F*om the Isthmus —Whetl the Georgia left Cha.
gres on the 26th of November, the Empire City was
still there, awaiting the arrival of the special train,
from Panama. The Northerner arrived at the latter
.place on the 19th, with $6i)0.000. and the Panama on
the 21st, with about #2,500.000, so reported. The
Panama’s manifest showed #1,951,194.
Two of the passengers of the Northerner recently
arrived from Acapulco were robbed of their gold
dust at Panama—ono of #3000, the other, Mr. Tuten,
of #3 500.
Gen. Mosquera, ex-president of New Granada, it is
announced, is about to leave Panama for a visit to the
United States.
The rainy season had set in but Panama was
healthy.
It will be recollected that Mr. B. R. Harden, son of
Bn Harden of Kentucky,disappeared rather sudden,
iy irom Panama, shortly after he had received there
the revocation of hia appointment of Secretary of
Legation to Chill. The paper above quoted says:—
On Friday last, as a party of gentlemen Were as-
eroding the mount, in in the rear of the city, about
midway up hey discovered the remains of a human
being. Though there is now no part of that human
■frame left but the bare bones, there is sufficient evi
dence to render almost certain the deduction that
they are those of the unfortunate Harden. These evi-
deuces consist of a letter found in one of tbo pockets,
dated Havana Dec. 1849, addressed to Hon. Ben. Har
den, Bardstotvn, Ky., commencing “My dear father”
and ending with ‘-your affectionate son, Rowen.”—
Besides this there were a silk handkerchief, two
keys, a knife and part of a silk purse. From the
appearance of the ground there is some suspicion
that he was murdered.
Fbom California.—There had been great rejoic
ing in California ovei the admission of the State into
the Union.
A most lamentable steamboat explosion occurred
at San Francisco on the 29th of October, by which a
great number of lives were lost. As the steamboat
Sagamore, was about to leave the wharf, the boilers
exploded, in <tonsequenc»of not being supplied with
water,tearing the boat to piece* and scattering masses
of lumber and human bodies in every direction.
From seventy-five to one hundred passengers were
on board, of whom only some twenty escaped with
their lives, many of them dreadfully wounded.
The Cholera had made its appearance in the city,
and several deaths had occurred. It was introduced
by a vessel with passengers from Sacramento City.
The papers express the belief, that the epidemic will
not rage to a very great extent, the climate and loca
tion being considered unfavorable to the disease.
Business woe not so active as formerly. The Gold
mines continue to yield, but fortune* are not realiz
ed. Stele bonds and scrip had improved since the
news of admission into the Union.
The resu|t of the late elections had not been fully
ascertained, The two great parties would be nearly
equally devfded, though the Democrats would hare
a small majority on joint ballot, u matter of some inr
portance, as a U. S. Senator was to be elected in
place of Mr. Fremont.
Indian disturbances continued in the mining re.
(ions, and several fights bad occurred.
The overland, immigrants had nearly all arrived
having endured the must appalling privations. Hun
dreda had died form starvation.
ter, and partook more of the wild beast than of man
kind. An Armenian family wa* massacred, inclu
ding the Infant at the breast, and even Turksthem-
selves were wounded, because they remonstrated
against such excesses. . . . ,
From Hong Kong, it is reported that the Insurgents
are beating the Imperial troops, and are within one
hundred miles of Canton. 8ir James Brooke a mis-
slon to Slam has proved a lailure. ,
Prince Dominique Orsini has been appointed Min-
li-ler of war to the Pope, in the room of Baron de
Knl ertmatten. who has resigned. Moosignor Hil
debrand Rossini has been made Director General of
Police.

rBf» We Invite the attention of the readers of the
Netceto the interesting letter from our California
correspondent, published this morning.
Second Crop Apples.—A friend laid on our
table yesterdny two apples—one a June the other a
Horseapple—being of the second crop from the same
trees this season. The apples are well matured, and
are of the ordinary size of the species to which they
belong. They were grown by Mr. John H Brant-
lv. Sen., of Bibb County,at his place, two miles from
Macon.
Cholera in Alabama.—The steamer Isabella ar.
rived at Montgomery Ala., on Saturday last from Mo
bile with Irish laborers to work on the plank road in
that vicinity. On the passage five persons died, and
when she arrived at the wharf four more were dead
upon her deck; she also put ashore four more who
died shortly after, making in ell thirteen deaths.
The Advertiser of the 10th, says the people had
been much exposed to sovere weather on the pas.
sage. No other cases had occurred, and the Board
of Health had taken steps to prevent similar landings
in future.
News by the Asia.
Enaland.—The Roman Catholics of England are
preparing an audress to the throne, said to have been
written by Cardinal Wiseman, assuring the Queen of
unalterable loyalty and unshaken fidelity. The fol.
lowing story is current .—
The Rev. Dr. Jelf declared at the meeting at St
Clement Danes, a few days ago the Queen was the
flrst to denounce the Pope’s invasion of her au
thority “When she heard of it," said the doctor,
she at once tent for Sir George Grey, the Home Sec
retary, who, on obeying her summons, found her
Meje>ty walking up and down the drawing-room in
.a State ol great excitement. -Sir George Grey,'said
her Majesty, ‘1 am Queen of England ; I will nut bear
this.’ ”

The Senate of Hamburgh has declined the invita
tion of Prussia to furnish its contingent ot troops as

A council of war is held daily at Vienna at which
the Emperor presides.
Ireland —Qn tbe 16th Nov. one of the most fear*
ful swims k own for many years visited Limerick
anditaenvirons— Pint wind blew w-th terrific vio-
Sence commencing about twelv o’clock, andeontinu
ingwitbout intermission during tbe entire night
Several houses were stripped ot the slates particular
ly those in exposed situations, and chimney stacks
were blown into tbe street in many parts of the city.
On the river tbe storm raged with great , fury. Tue
moon being a few days past the lull, the springs
were consequently at Weir gieatest height, aud as the
gale blew from the W. N. YV.. nearly iu a direct line
up the river the tide rose to an extent almost unpre
cedented iu the memory of the eldest waterman on
the Shanon.
The waves covered the quays in eome places to
the depth ot three u..d four toot, and rolled into the
adjoining streets with resistless fury. Ali the shops
on the quays were filled with water. Tho brig Hil
ton, of London, moored at Harvey’s quay, had her
aides stove in, and suffered other serious inju ies in
her hull.
A pilot boat and several smacks were capsiscd and
foundered iu tho docks. It was feared that the dis
asters down the rivei were numerous. No lives were
lost tn the city, but a poor woman coming to town
with milk waa drowned. The Limeric Reporter says ;
The appearance ot the Lower Shannon was truly
awful. Thu entire country at both antes ol the river
was under water to tt vast extent; the embankments
being torn away, no impediment was offered to the
flow of the waters, winch chafed and swelled as
though an angry sea had inundated the land. In tho
Upp^r Shannon about Castle Connell, Doonas, Ktlla-
loe, anu Lough Dergh to Drcimin- er, the storm is rep
resented as having been equally violent itgita effects,
so as to stop all communication by water.

blown a severe gale, and continues Irora WNW.~
Tbe Edmund, of London, lor New York, with emi

Horrible Murder.—A boy named James Kelly
best a colored boy named Cox, abuut 15 years of age,
to death, a few nighta since, in tbe jail at Pittsburg
It appears that Kelly beat him brutally with a stick,
and then pulled oil bis pantaloons and sat him on tbe
hot steam pipe, holding him there and continuing to
burn, choke ami beat him, till he became insensible;
th> n it appears tbe three witnesses first gave the alarm
and summoned the jailer. He found the boy h jrrL
bly burned and beaten, and the sufferer died of his
injuries, about five o’clock on Saturday morning.
Correepontence of the Daily Morning News.
! San Fbancibco, Nov. 1, 1850.
MR. Editor :—I have to thank you for a file of
your journal (recently received. My gratitude is the
greater, as wither the Georgian or Republican has
reached me this distant outpost of Anglo-Ameri
can enterprise In return for your courtesy, I have
thought thatOome details respecting this country
would not prove unacceptable.
It is difficult to convey by meanB of the pen, potent
as it is, a corject view of this country, its resources,
climate, end inductions. Above all, it is more than
difficult to ptrtray, with sufficient force, tho spirit
aud energy vVliicli animates tho people.
What firstnrrests attention are tho very few wo
men and chldren. The next feature is the robust
ana vigorous character of the men—whether irom
the Northern, Western or Southern States, they seem
to be picked iten—such as a General would select for
endurance ol the march or hardihood in the field.
Very few at? passed middle age, and those of ath
letic form. line tenths of the population are men
who would irrest attention to tlieir robust sinews
and powerful frames. You frequently meet with
menjwhoRe firms would tower above Forrest’s, aid
cd by all the factitious advantages of drees and stage
effect. The characteristic of the people is that o*'
indomitable, nergy.
This city it about two years old. Previously it waa
a mere Puetilo. Within that period it has gathered
in its harbor six hundred ships, and within its streets
a population of 25,000. Five times desolated by fires
each time Animus like, it has recovered from every fall
with redoubled strength. It contains some ten Chur
ches, five Theatres, several hundred restaurants, and
whole blocks of brick structures, which vie in beau,
ty with similar edifices iD any of our Atlantic cities.
A yenr since, the necessaries of life were diffiult ot
procurement, and many cooked their own food; now
any one may procure (/or money) at Drlmonico’s,
and many other restaurants, as luxurious a feast as
the cuisine of New-York could afford. Ice creams,
sherry-cobiers, planked streets, gambling Houses,
fandangos, bear-fights and balls, speculations, fail
ures, fights, and robberies, proclaim that eating, pug
nacious, reckless, working, enterprizing man is here
with all his vices, and Borne of his virtues.
Another feature in the population, ia the apparent
insensibility of men to startling events and appalling
occurrences. Many have crossed the wilderness to
reach the land of promise—others have, for months,
been tossed upon the storm stirred ocean, and others
have dared the leeB apparent, but not lees real dan
gers, tn the shape of cholera and the dreaded Panama
fever. The life they have led, has prepared them for
vicissitudes ot every kind. Every thing is new, the
climate, is strange and capricious, tue pursuit of men
earnest. There is no play here; everything is seri
ous. Ttie accumulation of wealth absorbs every
feeling. Tho sweet charities of life, the softening in
fluences of the domestic hearth, are wanting; and the
snuggle und contention of men in every avenue of
business ia no holiday work.
You have doubtless received conflicting accounts
of the climate. This is attributable to the variety of
temperatures which exist. In the interior you have
one of Italian softness; on tbe sen coast, old Boreas,
“that blustering railer,” is for half the time puffing
away with might and main. The summer in San
Francisco, with exception ol the coldest days in sa
vannah, is not behind in coolness, your winter
months; while in the interioi the Mercury will rise as
high as it does with you in midsummer.
As to the agricultural resources of the country,
they have been underrated. This must prove a great
provision, grain and fruit country. It is to the ex
clusive thirst for goldi to the desire to grow sudden
ly rich, that the failure of many emigrants is to be
attributed. They rush hither, leaving their families
behind, with only one thought—that oi getting up their
pile in the twinkling of an eye, and of then rusmng
back to their tiimilies. To him who is contented to
thrive by systematic industry, there is no country
on earth like California The time is past when
fortunes are to be accumulated with the suddenness
which attends upon tb s drawing a prize in a lottery.
Some few have thu grown rich, but where one has
succeeded, shunned have failed. The edict that
man was to gain nis bread by the sweat of his brow,
holds good here as elsewhere. Still, there is no doubt
that a greater amount oi the staff of life, for a given
Quantity of the juice, is obtained in California than
in any other country; and this is the secret of the
indomitable spiritof work which forms the “genius of
the place.” Men work hard because they are well paid-
Thus the stimulous given to individual effort, contri.
butea to the aggregate of general enterprise. Ne.
cessity adds her stimulant to tho incentives which
remuneration affords. A man must work to live.
One may live perhaps comfortably for #100 per
month. If accustomed to comforts, he will, to pro-
cufe a continuance of them, have to spend double, at
least, that amount.
There is one characteristic which distinguishes the

Chlobofobm.—The discussion of this anmsthetic
agent was continued by the New-York Academy of
Medicine on Tuesday evening last, with particular re
ference to its use in obstetric cases. The general
opinion appeared to bo, that it was judicious to apply
chloroform, where the case was painful, except in
the very few instances of an idiosyncracy in the sub

country, and it is this. The influence and position Of
a man is not determined by the depth of his pocket,
or the amount of his credit at tbe till of a bank. He
is estimated for his personal qualities,his talents, ener.
gy and personal courage. Many of your nabobs, to
whom the expectants of bank favors '• bend the preg
nant hingesof the knee,” would be shouldered into the
gutter if they did not stand out of tbe way.
The two most extraordinary men in California are
by no means wealthy. I allude to Capt.SuTTEa and
Gen. Pebsifbb F. Smith. The former might have
been a millionnre, Hut is as poor os a -church mouse.'
Yet none visit California without paying a visit to
“old Sutter." As to the latter, his services have
made him kuown to the whole country. I was pre
pared when we met, to see a frank-hearted soldier
but he is m^re than this. Every inch a soldier, he
is a gentleman all in green. With fascinating man.
ners.an open demeanor, a vein of strong common
sense which pervades his whole conversation, he is
one of the most fascinating men I have ever known
Pity, his name is Smith ! Despitethc name, 1 predict,
if his lifeis spared, tbe people will call him to the
White House. He ia a Democrat of the first water,
and yet so tree from political intolerance that the
Whigs cannot but esteem him. Mark my words, if
ever 11 s-ldier is called to the Chieffjagistracy.it wilj
be Persifeb F. Smith. Of him it may be t -uly said,
“lie has no friends to reward, no enemies to punish."
He is the man too, who has the manliness to act out
that sentiment. Gen. Smith has recently purchased
from Gen. Vallejo an extensive farm in the valley of
8onoma, and has sent out for hia family, intending to
make California hia permanent residence.
There is some excitement here about U. S. Sena-
tor. Tbe Legislature, on joint ballot, will be Demo-
cratic by a small majority. The two most prominent
candidates are F«esiont, the present incumbent, and
Weller, formerly of Ohio. From whatl learn, the
former stands little chance of re-election. South
ern men will go against him by reason of his connec
tion with Benton. Northern men will prefer a
Northern or Western man.
To give you an instance how men go ahead here:
>[ou know M .who waa a contractor on the Cen
tal Rail Road, and B , a partner in a mercantile
