from January 23, 1862, the state capital was moved temporarily from Sacramento to San Francisco.
The temporary move to San Francisco began on January 24, 1862, not January 23.
Full reasoning
Official California state sources date the Legislature’s temporary move to San Francisco as January 24, 1862 through May 15, 1862.
The California State Capitol Museum says the Legislature "completed the session in San Francisco's Merchants Exchange Building from January 24th until May 15th, 1862." An official California Assembly history likewise identifies San Francisco as the "Temporary State Capital, January 24, 1862 to May 15, 1862."
So the article’s date of January 23, 1862 is off by one day.

Ultimately, the rising water was too much for the legislators to bear. They briefly adjourned before completing the session in San Francisco's Merchants Exchange Building from January 24th until May 15th, 1862.

Temporary State Capital, January 24, 1862 to May 15, 1862 ... On January 24, 1862, the Legislature took up temporary residence in San Francisco.
