Later from California. Fort Kearney, May 1. --The Pony Express passed here last night, bringing the following summary of news from the Pacific coast: The Pacific mail steamer Golden Gate sailed from San Francisco on the 20th for Panama, carrying 280 passengers and $825,000 in treasure, including $750,000 consigned to New York. A public dinner is proposed for Senator Latham on his arrival, by his friends in San Francisco. The Assembly has passed the proposed amendment to the Constitution of the United States, by a vote of ayes 61, hoes 9. Messrs. J. W. Denver, and Samuel Smith have been appointed Commissioners to proceed to Washington with vouchers, and adjust the California war debt with the Federal Government. Late accounts from Mariposa state that the Fremont dam will be repaired, so that all the quartz mills can resume operations within two weeks.

From California Fort Kearney,May 21.--The California, Pony Express, with dates to the 11th instant has arrived. The steamer of the 10th sailed with $440,000 in treasure. The Union demonstration at San Francisco on the 11th instant was an astonishing success. Nothing like it has ever been seen in that city before. Business was totally suspended and the whole population appeared in the streets.--Union flags were as plenty as stacks of grain in a wheat field. There were three stands for speakers. Senators Latham and McDougal, Gen. Sumner, Gen. Shields and others spoke. The spirit of the addresses and resolutions was that the Administration must be sustained and put down secession and preserve the Union. A procession, composed of thousands of citizens, including all the military and civic organizations, constituted a part of the display. All political parties joined in the demonstration. A Union meeting was also to be held at Portland, Oregon.

mposed of the Lynchburg Artillery and the Howitzer Company from your city. The order being given, the horses were hitched up in a minute or two, and the guns and company were out on the field, in an incredible short time imhitched, and we were in the midst of clouds of smoke from successive flashes from the splendid brass pieces of those bacteries, each viewing with the other in drill. Not wishing to be invidious, but I couldn't help to remark the manly bearing and dashing appearance of Capt. Latham, of the Lynchburg Artillery. In fact, there is something peculiar about this man; and the same may be said of Capt. Otey, of the Home Guard of this city. Both are altogether unlike most of commanding officers. On duty, they are the stricted disciplinarians; when off, they are constantly in the society of their men, joining in all kinds of amusements and pastimes. It is needless to say that they are the idols of the camp. The accounts published in the Dispatch during this week in

eral Sumner seems to be concentrating most of the United States troops in and around the borders of the State and at the fortifications in the neighborhood of San Francisco, but as they amount to only a few hundred in all, the movements are not considered extraordinary. The Breckinridge State Convention will meet at Sacramento on the 11th of June. The Union Convention meets at the same place on the 18th, the Republicans on the 18th and the Douglas Democrate on the 18th of July. Senator Latham continues his tour through the State, making Union speeches. The Overland Telegraph Expedition left Sacramento on the 27th for Carson Valley. At this point they are to commence laying wires towards Salt Lake. The expedition numbers twenty-two head of oxen, twenty-six wagons and fifty men. Commercial. There is a strong speculative feeling throughout the market, with a very active business and many large transactions. From Oregon. Dates from Portland, Oregon, recei

Woodstock.,Va., May 26, 1861, We see frequent notices of the Vermont regiment, but it does not satisfy us unless we can see something about W. L. J. Yesterday a telegram came from White River Junction, saving "we are all on fire — come and help us." We went over, and found Latham's and all other shops burned and burning.

Slaver captured. --Advices from the African Squadron report the capture of another slaver, with 705 Africans on board. She is called the Bark Cora, and hails from New York. She was taken about eighty miles off the Congo river, by the United States corvette Constellation; a person calling himself Loretto Ring, but supposed to be named Latham, proclaiming himself her master. Governor Morgan, of New York, formerly owned the Cora.

evolution, has ended in smoke. So you may imagine how dull we are to-day. The few Southern members who remain manifest some anxiety to know the limits of the Middle Confederacy which Gov. Letcher advocates in his forthcoming Message, according to a dispatch in the Herald. If he means to cut off New England on the one side and the Gulf States on the other, it strikes me it will be like lopping off the roots and then the branches of a tree — a proceeding which would hardly enure to the benefit of the trunk. Hon. Charles L. Scott's able letter to his constituents, printed in a recent issue of the Constitution, shows how true the sons of Virginia are to their native State, and proves that the South is not without friends — numerous and strong friends — in California. Mr. Latham's mercenary pronunciamento of California's willingness to side with the North, for the sake of the Pacific Railroad and without regard to principle, is effectually "set back" by this manly letter.

Judge Baldwin has sent in his resignation as Judge of the Supreme Court, to take effect January 1. The political rumor finds considerable credence, that General J. A. McDougall, Hon. J. W. McCorkle and Richard P. Hammond, have formed a combination to use their united influence with the Douglas Democracy to elect Hon. Mr. McDougall to the United States Senate this winter, Mr. Hammond Governor of the State next summer, and Mr. McCorkle to the United States Senate on the expiration of Mr. Latham's term. The programme will meet with strong opposition within the Douglas ranks. The two strongest candidates for the Senatorship this winter appear to be General McDougall and General Denver. The organization of a joint stock company to open the Washoe silver mines is among the most notable features of the times.

esident sent in to the Senate an important nomination for Collector of the Revenue in the neighborhood of Charleston harbor.--The name of the individual is believed to be Wm. McIntire, of Pennsylvania, although others say he is of New York. The former is probably the more correct. The Republican Senators desired to go into Executive session on the subject, but this was resisted by the other side, and an adjournment was carried by the Democratic present, with the exception of . Diglar, Latham, and Sewell. It is not certain, according to present appearances, that McIntire will be confirmed. This nomination is considered in the highest degree important, and as foreshadowing the future operations of the Administration. Coercion Charleston in the New York Legislature.
