Exportation of Specie — Tragic Occurrences.
The following is additional news per the Pony Express:
San Francisco, Jan. 2.--In November the amount of treasure received from the country was $3,381,991, and in the same month the export was $4,395,568. It will be perceived, therefore, that we increased our, exports in December by $937,009, while our receipts diminished $361,790. The difference of $1,298,009 had to be furnished by the floating capital of San Francisco, and so heavy a draft in so short a time could not be made without inconvenience.
In order to show how much more treasure we exported in both months than received, the circulation of our city was depleted by the sum of $1,451,919. This amount is diminished somewhat, but not materially, by the imports of treasure from Mexico during November and December--some $160,000 in all. So far as the demand for money is affected by business relations here, we have no doubt it has reached the cl
Battle with Indians.
--A letter to the St. Louis Republican states that Col. Crittenden, son of the distinguished United States Senator, on the 27th of December marched from Fort Union at the head of eighty-eight men and officers of the mounted rifles, in pursuit of a large war party of Comanche and Kiowas, who were reported to be depredating on the Cimmeroncita.
After following their trail rapidly, sometimes by night, he found and surprised them on the morning of the 2d of January, in camp near Cold Spring, and, after a severe fight, completely routed them, destroying their camp and property, and capturing a great many horses.
There were one hundred and seventy-five lodges in the camp, (one of them containing exclusively ammunition,) all of which were destroyed.
Ten warriors were left dead; number of wounded unknown.
Corporal Bourke, of the rifles, and three privates were wounded, none mortally.
The officers with Colonel Crittenden, were Captain Lindsay and Lieutenants McRa

Seizure of a vessel at New York.
--The New York Herald of yesterday says:
The first seizure at this port, growing out of the resignation of United States Collectors at Southern ports took place yesterday.
On or about 2d January last, the schooner Restless, of Great Egg Harbor, N. J., sailed from Philadelphia to Mobile under the usual coasting license.
At Mobile she got a cargo for Havana.
Her Captain, as usual, surrendered his license and applied to the Collector at Mobile for a register.
The Collector replied that he had ceased to be a United States officer, and that he could not furnish a United States register.
The captain entered his protest, had it countersigned by the Spanish Consul at Mobile, and sailed for Havana; whence, after discharging and reloading, he sailed for this port, arriving here yesterday morning.
On his arrival the schooner was instantly seized by Mr. Schell, under the 8th section of the "Act for enrolling and licensing ships," &c., dated 20th F

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.affairs in Lynchburg. Lynchburg, Va.,Jan. 2.
Since affairs in Charleston, S. C., have assumed the threatening attitude they at present occupy, a most profound sensation seems to pervade our entire community, and the all-absorbing question is, What is to be the ultimatum of the present-stirring state of political affairs?
We have been visited by very heavy falls of snow during the past three or four days. To the west, along the line of the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad, from all accounts, a most unprecedented snow must have fell.
The cars on that road have not run into this city since Sunday morning last.
At present, some seven or eight trains are blocked up in the snow on the mountains, and travel for the time being is necessarily in a state of suspension, though, in all probability, by the time this appears in print, the track will be clear and the regular trips resumed.
Yesterday being New Year's day, a general suspensi

From South Carolina. Charleston, Jan. 2
--The Convention reassembled this morning, and the President announced that Commissioners to Georgia and Texas had been elected by ballot in secret session.
The Columbia Artillery, 50 strong, arrived to-day at 1 o'clock, and proceeded down to the harbor.
They are ordered to one of the forts.
They carry with them a gun from Charleston and 2,000 pounds of powder.
The Convention has adopted as amended the Committee's report for calling a Convention of the Southern States to determine their future political relations.
This step, the Committee says, by no means arises from presumptuous arrogance, but from the advanced position which circumstances have given South Carolina in the line of procedure for the great design of maintaining the rights, security and very existence of the slaveholding States of the South.
The Constitution of the United States is suggested by the Committee as a suitable and proper basis on which to found a

Message of the Governor of New York. Albany, N. Y.,Jan. 2.
--Gov. Morgan, in his message to the Legislature, refers to needed State reform, and devotes the closing portion of his message to the Secession question.
He says it is the duty of the National Legislature to act with moderation and conciliation, and the duty of the public press, with that regard for the rights of all sections and interest which its vast influence demands, to let New York set an example in this respect.
Let her oppose no barrier, but let her representatives in Congress give ready support to any just and honorable settlement.
Let her stand in an attitude of hostility to none, but extend the hand of fellowship to all. Live up to the strict letter of the Constitution cordially with the other members of the Confederacy, in proclaiming and enforcing the determination that the Constitution shall be honored and the Union of the States preserved.
He recommends the repeal by New York of the "Personal Libe
