Destruc tive fire at San rranctsco. Two millions of gold arrived. rxre at Stockton. Condition of the markets tfc. New York, Feb'y 7. The steamer Empire City arrived at her wharf at an early hour'this morning, from Chagres, bringing d. tes from San Francisco to the 1st day of January. Mr Rice, editor of the Pacific Courier, came from San Francisco to Panama in the steamer Oregon. The Oregon brought three millions of gold. The Empire City brings one million and a half in gold dust. The inaugural address of Gov. Burnett is not generally veil spoken of. He estimates the amount of expenses of the new State for the firt half year at one and a half millions of dollars. He also takes decided ground against the settle ment of free blacks in that conntry, and considers the slavery question settled. Among the passengers of the Empire City are the Hon. Geo. W. Wright and the Hon. Edward Gilbert, representatives elect from the State of California. Also the Hon. T. Butler King, E. Houston, ex-collector of the port of San Fran cisco; Wm. R. Kinder, Esq. bearer of despatches from the U. S. Boundary Commissioner to the Secretary of State; Surgeon A, J. Bowie of the U. S. Navy; and Lt. Norris, bearer of despatches from Com. Jones. The steamer Oregon arrived at Panama on the j 20th of Jan., having left San Francisco on the 1st. She brought down Col. Fremont and Wm. M. Gwin, senators elect, and two representatives from the new St.ife. Col. Fremont was unavoid ably detained at Panama in consequence of the serious indisposition of his wife. Dr. Gwin took passage on the steamer Falcon for New Orleans. Among the principal sufferers by the great fire at San Francisco art Victor Le Roy, who kpt the Baltimore Restaurant; Messrs Marrus &. Bar thy, who kept the Central House; E. Edmond son's Merchant Exchange ; Dunbar Se. Gibbs's Parker House ; and Mr McDougal lost about $200,000. The Eldorado House was also destroy ed. Messrs Chambers &, McKaig lost $28,000. Dennison's Exchange is also among the ruins loss about $-12,000. These are some of the prin cipal buildings burnt. Besides those, a large number of other buildings and a vast amount of merchandi.se, valued in all at from one and a half to two million of dollars, were destroyed. Arrived at San Francisco on 10th of Dec, the barque S B Cally, from New York ; Dec. 27th, the Louis Phillipe from Baltimore, with 25 frame houses on board. The balloting for Senators. First ballot .

On the second ballot, Mr Gwin had 22 votes; Hallack 14; Henly 7; King 2; But- terfield 1; Garey 1. Whereupon Mr Gwin was declared elected. A fire broke out in the city of Stockton on the 23d, which destroyed a number of houses The less is estimated at $150,000. Arthur C. Rey. a member of the band of min strels, who went out some time ago, was mur dered in San Francisco, by a young man named Reuben Withers, well known in the fashionable circles of New York. The A Icaldc offered $3000 reward for him. Markets. Rio coffee selling at $12 a $13 per lb. Mess pork at $29 a $30. Richmond flour at $20 a $21. Seamen's wages iu the rivers and bay adjacent, from $90 to $100 per month. The above is an outline ef the most important features of the news. It is suggested in a Texan paper that the stone removed from thts Wall of the Alamo, to make the breach through which the en emy entered, be sent to Washigton as the contribution of the State to the Washington Monument. . The stone still lies at the mouth of the breach, as it did on the day when Travis, Crockett, and their fellow heroes were massacred, and it is said to be a beautiful block, susceptible of a polish as fine as marble. Trtie Deha. From the Noah's Sunday Times. THE FAWN OF PASCAGOULA ; OR, THE CHUM PA GIRL OF MOBILE. We have received from the charming patronesses of the Ladies Fair, held at Mobile on the 24th ult., (Christinas Kve) an elegant paper, felicitously called "The Bow of Cupid,'' or a ''Journal of Love, Laughter, Fashion and the Fair, and issuing from Cupid's Realm," which was started for the occasion to give addi tional zest to the entertainment. It is edited by the 4 Ladies of the Telesranhic Dffice," at Mobile, and streams over with choice jems of wit and humor. As a sam ple of its contents, we extract the follow ing beautiful tale. Shall I tell you a story of real life, as romantic and affecting as any in fiction ? Well, listen ! Every citizen of Mobile is familiar with the sight of the Indian girls who are seen in our streets in winter. With their little bundles of lighwood o i their back, they mark the advent of cold weather as regularly as the mockingbird and the cardinal chronicle the approach of spring. Thev peddle their small parcels .. i- i . oi pine irom tioor to uoor, anu all are familiar with the soft, quick, petitionary voice in which they exclaim Chumpa, as tney otter their cheap burden for sale. These Indian girls, it is well known be long to certain Choctaw families who re fused to emigrate with their tribe beyond the Mississippi, and yet linger upon their aboriginal hunting grounds, on the waters ol the real 1 and the Fascagoula. Though they thus exhibit an uncon querable attachment to their native soil, they have yet refused to adopt the habits. language, or pursuits of the whites, by wnom they are surrounded, and perverse ly indifferent to all the inducements of civilization, they persist in leading a spi- cies or savage, gipsey lite the men sus taming themselves by hunting, and the women by venting whortleberjies and other wild fruit in the summer, and bundles of pine in the winter. With these simple prouuciions tney visit cvioDiie semi-annually, and for the time reside in the vicinity, in small huts or camps, construct ed ot bark, boards, and the limbs of trees. This has been their usage from time im memorial, and it yet continues. These Indians are generallv a misera ble and ignorant race, but with all their degrcdations, they possess some of the virtues in a singular degree. The women are proverbially chaste and modest, and of all the young girls that annually visit our city, none have been known to depart from the paths ot rectitude. A strong in terest, therefore, surrounds these simple daughters of the woods, who resist all the blandishments of their station, and pass unharmed through the streets, of our city. Many of them are quite handsome, and possess, beneath their rustic garbs the calico gown and the red blaaker considerable graces of manner and appear ance. As they invariably refuse to talk English, very little conversation can be had with them, and that only in reference to the small bargains which they desire to make. Chumpa and picayune are almost the only words which they employ in their intercourse with our inhabitants. Still they are not reserved in their movements, where they wish to make a bargain, and enter tlw different houses ot the city, stores. i VOL. lO WO. 573. CCf- Liberal deduction for Urge advertisemeat by the year.or six mottk. dwellings and offices without hesitation, it ceremony, or announcement. no nas not been startled many a morning, by the low voice, at the chamber door, exclaiming chumpa,'9 The stoical demeanor of these Choctaw maidens has the natural sensibilities and sentiments of the sex. They have bright flashing eyes, well developed, symmetrical and flexible forms, beautiful small hands and feet, and show in their love for brilliant articles of dress, rings, heads, and other personal decora tions, the taste and vanity of their civiliz ed sisters. Is it possible that they are destitute of those delicate sympathies and tender affections which have marked wo men in all other classes and conditions of like ? This question has no doubt suggest ed itself to many, as an interesting pro blem of character. In one instance, at least, an attempt perhaps a heartless one was made to solve it, and it is .that the story which I have to tell refers. It came to my knowledge in all its de tails, but I will" attempt to narrate it in such a manner as not to detain the reader with particulars which he can imagine for himself. Among the Choctaw gipsies, who visited Mobile in the winter of 1849, was one of unusual and attractiveness. Although scarcely developed into womanhood not more than seventeen ' suns" having kiss ed the rich bronze of her cheek she was yet tall, round-limbed, straight and grace ful a very model of feminine form. Her features, more prominent and regular than is usual with her tribe, were delicately sculptured, and the erect attitude of her head, with her large, fawn-like eyes, and abundant coal-black hair, always neatly plaited in massive folds, gave to her ap pearance an airot superiority such as the youthful Pocahontas is said to have possessed. Her dress was extremely neat though with a large number of silver and wampum ornaments, ant' her small feet which any of the protnenaders on Dauphin misht hae envied, were invariably dress- led m mocasins ornamented in the most fanciful style, with many colored beads. As she walked about the streetA of Mobile, arrayed in this way, with her parcel of pine swung a cross her shoulders, she attracted the attention ot all spectators for her beauty, though she would hold con verse with none except in the words bv which she endeavored to dispose of her burden. Muth interest was naturally fc-H in this young girl, and many efforts were made to learn something of her character and history. Nothing further could be glean ed (and this was told by Capt. Hilly, a drunken Choctaw, frequently seen in gar rulous moods in our streets,than that she, was the daughter of an Indian chief of much note, who died many years before, leaving her, an only child, with her mother, in their cabin upon the Pascagoula. Her i i . .. . singular Deauty nail made her quite a belle with the Choctaw warriors, but she was very shy, and was called in the Indian tongue," the Wild Fawn of Fasca goula. She supported her mother, who was very old, and herself by her traffic in berries and lightwood." ller personal claims made her one of the most successf ul .i ucaieis in inese articles, ami everyone, particularly the young men of Mobile, were glad to give the preference, in their patronage, to thi3 young nud attractive creature. Many were the efforts made to gain her smiles and enlist hei in conversa tion, but they were all in vain. She would go her daily round, enter with en tire unreserve the rooms or offices of her patrons, deposit her little load of pine, receive her dime, and then quickley re tire with the sticks in her hand to procure another parcel. Things glided on in this way for some months, during the winter of which I speak. At last an event occurred which tested the stoicism and character of the young Fawn of Fascagoula. Among those whom she daily supplied with lightwood was a young lawyer residing in an office in the second story of a building on one of our principal streets. Admiring the beauty of his timid visitor, and feeling a strong interest in her, he determined to discover if he could not by kindness of manner. deferential notice and elegant little pre- .1 a- . - - a a presents win me neart ot tins simple child of the woods. Though his motive was mainly curiosity, his purposes were not bad, and no idea of doing any injury to Neither were these coldly spoken, for the young and ardent admirer had been no little interested in the object of his attrac tions. As he was about, however,' ,to re peat his kisses, the now startled Fawn, by a quick movement, unlosed herself Irom his embrace and glided across the room. " Stand off, Mr Howard," she exclaim ed in betu-r English then he had ever heard her speak before. Me good fiierd to kind gentleman but on lolle! The Fawn must marry her own people. She love warrior up on Fascagoula! He have heart and skin the same color! Mobile man not Choctaw girl. Me go to my home to Choctaw chiefs cabin to-morrow. Good bye! Me love you much you so kind but no wife!" As she said this she tlrew her red blan ket as proudly about her as ever a fashiona ble belle donned her mantilla' at a ball, and glided from the door. Struck as motion less as a statue, the elegant Henry Howard the Mobile dandy stood gazing at the ' door through which the Choctaw- girl had vanished. His lips were slightlv parted his eyes widely open a look of wonder and doubt upon his handsome face! Hy heavens!" he exclaimed. Is it possible! Caught in my oWn trap! Jilted by an Indian Well, it is'a good joke and all right! But, by Tecuinseh and Pushmataha! I must take care that the belles of Mobile do not find out the story. Let who will hereafter experiment upon Choctaw character, to discover whether these Chumpa-girls have not like affections with other people ; I, for one, am satisfied. This Fawn of Fascagoula has for months taken all my presents and delicate attentions with the timid gentle ness of a nun. and now has given me 'the sack" as completely as it could have been done by any fashionable coquette, in a gilded saloon, by thc'light of a chandalier. Well, that's some thing, rich! Uravo1 Henry Howard! Recollect hereafter, as Tom Moore says, ' Whate'er her lot she'll have her will." And womin will be woman still." SUPREME COURT.

The Fawn tarried longer in her visits at his office than cisewwhere ; she al ays came there first and took an evident interest in his attentions. At length she began to answer his remarks in such few words of English as she could command, and to look upon his handsome and fascinating countenance with pleased smiles and earnest continued attention. The spell evidently began to work! Henry Howard from Richmond directing a decree that the defendant transfer the stock and pay the dividends accrued since tho contract; in Hart v.
