by the passengers^ The passage" from Chagres to Panama is now made with comparative ease and safety.

The Picaj'une says: By this arrival we have received a mass of correspondence and papers from San Francisco, which we shall lay before our readers in due order. We have files of ibe Aha California to the 31st Aug. inclusive. These papers announce that the business of gold washing wa^ pursued with as much activity as ever, and the profits continued large.

For the month ending August 29, 3.806 males and 87 females arrived at San Franeteco.

In one day, August 29, there arried at Sail Francisco in merchant vessels G54 male and 27 female passengers. On the 30th, there were in the harbor of San Francisco 61.585 tons of shipping, exclusive of about sixty river craft.

PLACER INTELLIGENCE.—We take the following, being the latest intelligence from the mines, from the Alta California of the 30th August:

The month of August has multiplied the number of gold washers on the principal streams of the Sierra Nevada but the prospects for the mass crowding on are imperceptibly lessening. The waters are nearly at the lowest stage, and quite in proportion to the increase of laborers the chances are rendered more favorable by this circumstance. New washings have been discovered, and old ones abandoned. We have no prodigious gold stories to relate, but confining ourselves to the simple assurance of good luck for those who labor we trust not to defeat the expectations of the most visionary.

The Sacramento river probably forms the most northerly boundary stream of the placer, but it is erroneous to sup-

encampment. * * We are told by people who mined it here last season, that it will be better a month hence than it is now. The water is falling, and when it gets down so that we can work on the bed of the river, the dust will be found more plentifully and in larger pieces. Mining is hard work, but there is nothing unpleasant about it; it gives you a good appetite and sound sleep at night. * * The miners here average about an ounce per day.'

We have advices from the North Fork of a very flattering nature. Companies that have turned the current of the river are now taking out from three to five thousand dollars per day.

SUCCESSFUL GOLD DIGGING.—Mr. A.

Van Dyke, a member of the North Fork Dam and Mining Association, which Company has recently completed a lateral canal at Beal's Bar, a little above the juncture of the North Fork with the Rio Americano, has just returned from their scene of operations. The work of drainage had been completed only three days before he left, and though the company labored under many disadvantages they had raised in this short time over $15,000.

The association is composed of about thirty hard-working men, and from the result of the few days labor since drainage, and the fine prospects of continued success, they confidently count upon yield of ten ounces per diem, each man, during the next and succeeding month.

Gen. Persifer F. Smith and Lieut. Col. Fremont were in San Francisco on he 31st of August. ...Two,small steamers arc plying on the \vliefs df the Sacramento.

There was much sickness at the mines .at last accounts. The sickly season comprises the months of July, August and September.

General health at San Francisco was good at the latest dates: The Alta California of the 30th August says:

A virulent form ot diarrhoea has occasioned much suffering within the pa«t month, but its severity is now slowly diminishing. The same complaint has made its appearance in Stockton, Sacramento City, and different parts of the mines. It has, by many, been believed to be the precursor of that terrible scourge, the cholera, and by others a •moderate form of the disease itself.

Tho Pacific News, of tho 1st Sept., says: We are sorry to state that the Hon. T. Butler King is no better, and fears are entertained of his recovery.. His disease is an aggravated attack of the prevailing dysentery. i. (The Alta California of the preceding day Mated that he was slowly recovering.)

Brig. Gen. Pcrsifer F. Smith, at present is on an expedition to the mountains of the Sierra Nevada. [The Alta California says he was on the 31st ult., at San Francisco.]

Gov. Shannon, of Ohio, ex-minister to Mexico, is now working in the mines of the Rio de los Americanos.

Com. Jones is stationed here. Com. Vorhees has lately arrived in port.

Mnj. Gnrneu is at the present time at Santa Barbara. Col. Fremont is at Monterey.

Hon. T. Butler King is lying dangerously ill. On last Monday (28th Augus') eighteen sailors and the coxswain, in the moaning watch, escaped from tho U. S. ship Ohio, in a boat alongside and when some forty-yards off were fired upon by the marines. In their way to tho shore

THE DEFINITION

ot ah

Important i*» i^aiers in Land Warrants. The following letter we tho Washington Union:

GEN-IITAL

SIR: I have received your letter of the 3d inst., enclosing a slip which you state was cut from Wilson & Co.'s Weekly Dispatch of the 24th September last, and from which the following is an extract: "If wc understand ihe matter rightly, tho Land office wiU not recognize blank assignments of soldier's land warrants. The assignments, to be valid, must specify the person to whom it is made at the4 time it is made. This in addition to the usual form of recognising and certifying the identity of the person making the assignment"

You ask, "Whether it is* necessary, to render an assignment valid and receivable at ihe Land Office, it should be filled up by ihe original holder when sold by him. and so of each party through whose hands it may pass before reaching ihe Land office for euiry?" *, *_

As ihe act of Congress renders all assignments made and executed prior to the issue of iho warrant or certificate null and void, it is material that the date of the assignment and of the acknowledgment should be filled up when made, in order to ftirnhh evidence to this office that the assignment teas in fact madeaf• ier the issuing of the warrant. The mere leaving in the assignment a blank, for the name of the assignee, to be afterwards inserted, would not vitiate the assignment, where it is fair and regular in other respects because the legal implication in such a cose is, that the assignor has authorised the person for whose benefit the assignment is made and delivered, or purchaser under him, to fill up tho blank by inserting the name of the assignee. Thcfom«jM« purchasers of land warrants have in numerous Cases acted on this assumption, and it would be attended with serious inconvenience to innocent purchasers now to change the practice.

Before a warrant thus assigned can be located, tho name of the assignee must be inserted and it will he presumed that it is Jone by the authority of the original assignor, and will bo receivable accordingly at the land offices, unless fraud shall be alleged and sustained.

Yours, very respectfully, J. BUTTEIiFlFLl), Com'r. J. W.SIMONTON, Washington.
