The following detail of lha Culifornia
newt arc interesting :
Tmb Finn aT'Sacramknto City. A cor
resppndonl of lha New York Ttibune fur
nishes the particulars of the fire in Sacra
mento Cily. Ik broke out on ihe night of
the election, on J 1200 houses, the letter
ays, have been consumed. .
, -While the fire was raging, four or five
mon chartered a steamboat n.td proceeded
to San Francisco, w ith a view of pmcliasiiij?
nncl monopolising nil the lumber theic, ami
Jl the provisions their money and credit
would enable them to secure. They wme
landed in a small boat from inn sisamrr
North Beach, and sho remained a few mile
out in the Bay, refusing to land any other
passengers for several hours, until those had
time to accomplish their pmposc. The
steamer then came to her wharf, and the
news of tho fire became public. Lumber
went lift in their hands, lo four hundred
dollars a thousandmore than three hundred
percent advance. Flour advanced' to $45,
Poik to $55 and SCO, and other Provisions in
proportion. Goods to the amount of several
millions have already been shipped from San
Erancisco to Sacrnrarmlo, and tire demand is
yet brisk. A.large number of wooden build
ings have been taken down hero and sent to
that city.. Several hundred temporary build
ings have already been elected there, but
the rainy season is upon us, and it must
present a melancholy scene of sulTcriug,
sickness and destitution.
A lady next door to the place where the
fire originated) is also supposed loot. The
number scorched is enormous, all of w hom
were carefully cared for by surgeons on
board the Camanche. Every assistance
possible was ptoffeied by the Captains and
Agents of tho steamer?, w hose vessels wero
crow ded with female's. Tho Levee was
tr3wn with goods of every description, and
the wind slanting southeast threw the sparks
from the goods, all of which were saved.
At 5 o'clock the fire had nearly ceased, the
smouldering embers throwing huge ulouds
of smoke and lurid flashes, that brought de
solation to the hearts of all who witnessed
the sickening sight. The losses cannot be
less than five million of dollars.
Incidents of the Fire A shooting af
fray took place during the fire, whore a Mr.
Rut received six bullets in his body, nei
ther touching a mortal place. Provocation
given from the excitement of a pecuniary
loss.
When the Confidence left, doughnuts were
selling at a dollar a piece, coilee 50 cenis a
cup. Thousands are wandering around)
knowing of no shelter for the night, and the
amount of suffering will be inconceivable.
The bodies of lines men weto found on
fho wharf yesterday morning, wrapped in
blankets. On attempt to awake them as it
was supposed they were indulging in sleep
and removing the covering from their fa.
ccs it was discovered that they were quite
dead. We have neither hcaid names nor
leasons assigned for this strange discovery.
How could these men have goi theie and in
this condition !

Having been, within a few days, over the
New York and E.ie. Railroad to Dunkirk and '
Erie, and wilnosscd ihu increased business
on Iho road since Iho Lake Shore road-has
been completed lo Cleveland, I am unable lo j
suppress my astonishment at the snpineness '
el oar citizens in noi niing up mo mscup
lians lo the Suubury and I'.iie Uailroad stock.
The various depots on the New York and
Erio road are filled up w ith beef, poik, flour,
and clover seed in b.urel", besides hog,,
dead and living,, going on to New Yoik, to be,
packed for sale. At the huibor of Dunkiik
there was also a large propeller, loaded with
dead hogs, cloverseed and butler, unable to
discharge, owing lo the want of whait room,
the Road Company paying $75 per day for
bc use as a warefiouse.
At Erie, I saw, in a day, twenty-one cars
loaded wilh each G000 lo 8000 lbs, dead hogsi
passing over to the Now Yoik load. Tho
freight agent assured mo that (iftcecn of
these cars would have gone to Philadelphia,
if there bad been a toad from Erie. When
our fiiends of the Council witness what I
have 60 recently, and count the cost of a di
rect communication w ith iho ' Qucetiof Har
bors," as Erie long since has been named, I
think they will airive al the opinion that at
least ten millions of do'.lais would be well
expended in making and furnishing w ith de
pots a double track road. The New York
and Erio road cost 30 millions, with the State
gift. Besides this, New Yoik has her canal
and Noithern railroad costing over 40 mil- j
lions; all directed tothis great end, the Lake
trade! Are we too fur off ftr our invest
ment to be lucrative ! We are nearer the
Lake at Erie by 95 miles than New Yoik is
by her nearest route. Ato we lint rather too
inert to stoop down and pick up the golJ that
lies in our pathl I heard before of lion de
positee on Lake Superior, but was not aware
of the works going tip ut Erie lo smelt thU
emarkably lich ore. It bus all Ihe look of
nngrietio ore, and 1 doubl not, if oui road
within two years should be made, thus giv
ing Erie the coal fiom Mckean and Elk, she
would in ten years become as gieat in man
ufactures as in commerce, and would be sec
fa d only to our city in size and in lesourees.

I1U I LATION OF HANDBILLS.
Several of our exchanges have, recently,
come to us with a hand bill enclosed.
Now this i3 not only violating the postage
laws, but it is meanly abusing a privilege
granted to the Press. An editor who will
permit his paper to be used as a screen, to
cover a fraud upon the department, by cir
culating hand bills, must have had his mor
al sensibilities considerably blunted, or else
his moral preceplions are too muddy lo en
able him lo discriminate between right and
wrong. In some instances, these bills were
furnished, already printed. In such cases,
the publisher circulating them, is simply
paid for abusing Ins privileges, to delraud
the government.

SPECIAL AUDITORS
Have been engaged the past two weeks
in re-audiling Iht accounts of the three last
Treasurers orthe County. They were ap
pointed by Ihe Court, tinder a special act of
the" legislature. Tire auditors are Wm. I.
Greeno'Jgh, S. D. Jordan & S. John, Esqrs.
Their report, we presume, will not be
known until it is presented (o the Court in
January next. The auditors are compe
tent men, and we trust their report will
fully adjust and explain matters that have,
for some years past, been the cause of va
rious rumors and slrange conjectures. The
accounts of some of our Treasurers, it is said,
have been very loosely and imperfectly
kept, resulting, no doubt, from a want of a
proper know ledge of the subject. This is
one of the difficulties incident to the popu
lar system ol elections, and for this very
reason, the people should be more guarded
in their selection ol officers. The office of
auditor is perhaps, in some respects, the
most important in the county. It is their
duty to investigate and examine the ac
counts ol the Treasurer, Commissioners Slc
A good auditor, should net only be a good
accountant-, but haya some practical know
ledge ol business, and there are but few,
who are, what may be termed, such, even
among business men. Yet we often find;
persons elected, wholly incompetent to dis
charge the duties of the office, honorable
and worthy men loo, but who have had no
to that efl'ect, will be presented to the next,
legislature..

LETTER. FROM WASHINGTON.
In regard to the Cabinet of Gen. Pierce,
the silence of the President elect is astonish
ing everybody. Politiojns are completely
at loggerheads ; but begin to admit what I
have predicted long ago,, that Gen. Pierce
will have a Cabinet nf his own, and no re
storation of the Cabinet of Mr. Polk. Gen.
Pierco will not be overshadowed by Presi
dential aspirants, nor by men. who may be
committed to a particular policy. lie will
have a Cabinet of comparatively young but
cnergolic men, if ha cannot pursuade Gen.
Cass to accept Ihe State Department. In
the latter case Gen. Cass will remain Ihe
Nestor of the Senate, mid the person in that
body on whom Gen. Pierce wile-mainly rely
for support. Under such auspices, it is
hardly lo be apprehended that Ihe affairs of
the government may take a wrong turn.
Mr. P.. M. T. Hunter is now strongly pres.
sed for the Tieasnry Department, nnd it is
admitted on nil hand that he has givpn am
ple proofs, of his capacity to preside over
the Finance Department nf the Government
by Ihe niam,ei in which he discharged the
duties of Chairman of. the Kinauco Commit
Ice in the Senate, if Mr. Hpnry As. Wisa
