Later from California. 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

which he exchanged, of Chilton, and that he did not know he had it till he got to Richmond.--Found a pistol and an opera glass on him. Reuben T. Seal, Police Officer, testified that when he was about to search Chilton, the latter remarked that had a good deal of the money about him, and pulled out a package of the notes; also found about $200 of it in a pocket-book, making in all some $1,500, and a small amount of good money. Godfrey Wemmell testified that on the night of the 4th of January the prisoners came to Thompson's hat store; Riddell bought two caps; paying a $10 South Carolina note, and witness gave back a $5 note. The next morning found the note was counterfeit, went to the Exchange Hotel, and Riddell refunded good money. The note paid for the caps is exactly like those exhibited. Wm. Ira Smith deposed that when he heard of the arrest of the parties, his attention was called to the fact that he had one of the notes described. One of his young men, Mr. Prit

monwealth is substantially as follows: D. T. C. Peters, after an examination of the notes alleged to be counterfeit, testified that, on the morning of the 5th January, Riddell brought $100 of that money to fits office, and he purchased it at 5 per cent. discount.--He did not much like to take it, as the plate was a new one, wended to put them on their guard.--This was between 10 and 11 o'clock in the morning. D. T. C. Peters recalled.--It was between 10 and 11 o'clock, on the 5th of January, when Riddell exchanged the money. Jos. Stern recalled.--Could not state the exact time when the opera glass was purchased, but it was between 9 and 11 o'clock on the 5th of January. Wm. C. Breese — an officer of the Bank of South Carolina, at Charleston — testified that he was familiar with the notes of that bank. The notes exhibited here are counterfeit. The bank has no such plate, and never had. The signature of the President is good — the best imitation witness had ever s<

e Governor, in which he says: "I communicate herewith a letter from Wm. M. Brooks, Esq., President of the Alabama State Convention, enclosing a copy of the Ordinance of Secession, adopted on the 11th inst. "I communicate also a telegraphic dispatch received from His Excellency Joseph E. Brown, Governor of the State of Georgia, announcing the passage by the Convention of that State of the Ordinance for immediate secession." The Ordinance adopted by the Alabama Convention, January 11th, is: "To dissolve the union between the State of Alabama land the other States, under the compact styled the United States of America." The Governor's Message and the documents accompanying it were, on motion, laid on the table and ordered to be printed. Reply of Virginia to the Alabama Commissioners.--The following joint resolution was offered, and after explanation, was unanimously agreed to, and the same ordered to be sent to the Senate for ratification: The General

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 climax of the season. January will swell the amount coming in from the country, and the obligations for the coming month will diminish the desire to remit eastward. This, however, has yet to manifest itself. During the month just past about 1200 letters have been sent from California eastward by the Pony express, and the patronage of the express continues to increase steadily, being fully doubled since August. Members of the Legislature begin to congregate at Sacramento and San Francisco, and are actively canvassing the claims of the different aspirants for the Speakership of both the Senate and the Assembly. Both Houses will convene on Monday, the 6th inst. It is now claimed that the Douglas Democrats lack five of a majority

The city of Washington. The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald says that Gen. Scott, Mayor Herbet and Gen. Weightman, the Major General of the District militia, have been in consultation in regard to the defence of Washington. The whole matter ought to be left to the authorities of the District. There is no intention anywhere, unless it be by Wide Awakes, to invade Washington. If any military precautions are necessary, they might safely be entrusted to the regular Chief of the militias, .Gen. Weightman, a tried and gallant officer of the war of 1812, and a gentleman universally respected and beloved in the Federal metropolis.

of certain propositions for setting the present difficulties between the North and the South, was taken up and concurred in. Mr. August called for the order of the day, the consideration of the House bill creating an Ordnance Bureau, and appropriating one million dollars for the defence of the State. The Ordnance bill was amended by the insertion of the words, "and regulations of the Army of the United States." On motion of Mr. Stuart, the bill was then referred back to the Military Committee, with instructions to report fixed salaries for the officers provided for in the bill. On motion, the bill appropriating $1,000,000 was laid on the table. Bills Passed.--A bill to provide for taking the sense of the people of Henrico upon giving authority to the County Court to raise by loan $2,500 for arming the county; a bill amending and re-enacting the 2d section of the charter of the Mechanicville Turnpike Company, passed Feb, 21st, 1817.

Slave Convicts. --In a recent communication by the Auditor to the General Assembly he says, in reference to the above subject, that-- "Within twenty years, ending in 1859, covering a period in which crime was less abundant, and during which the value of a slave was not much if any more than half the ruling prices now existing, there was paid out of the public Treasury $331,463.00 for slaves executed or condemned for sale and transportation. The amount realized from sales was $150,736.96, showing a loss to the State, besides the expenses of conviction and confinement, of $180,726.94. The amount paid for those condemned for sale and transportation was $236,610.52, showing a difference between the amount paid and the amount realized from their sale of $80,073.52." The same officer says that the law requiring the owner of a vicious slave to be paid his value when condemned for killing one of his fellows, (who may be free from crime, and perhaps more valuable,) is appare
