Fragmented 19th Century Dispatches Reach New York to California
A choppy transcription of late 19th century notices describes ship arrivals and movements, including the Northern Light reaching New York via San Juan in twenty days with a cargo and officials. It mentions Col Walker at Realejo, Capt. French joining the Government party, San Juan construction, and California mining yields. Reports of cholera deaths on the Sierra Nevada voyage, a San Francisco city government reorganization, and political and military notes across California conclude the item.
