We do not place mutch . reliance in the news, although it is probable the Americans have met with a severe repulse : On the 3d Dec., a party of twenty from the force of Americans at Encinada made an attack upon the ranch of La Grulla, inhabited by some half-dozen families, and carried off beef and provisions. This place is but one league from San Tomas, and upon tidings of the above invasion reaching there, all the inhabitants turned out and went in pursuit of the party, whom they overtook and engaged in a slight skirmish, . was brodght to San Diego by a vacquero, setreated from the city, and have ever since which yom in the poly ao ie on the : i i rt of the Americans and two taken prisoners. peaniged tebe jan ae oa vrai sage ae Pe The Americans continued their Tetread to unsuccessful attac ay it dite i 79 we" .

Immediately upon being discovered the whole distance to the river was taken up and staked off. The first shaft sunk on Oustomah hill yielded s prospect of $2,50 to the pan. The hill is called after the Indian name of Nevada. Excitement ran to its highest point for a few hours. The busy miners of Nevada will not be satisfied till that fine old landmark, the Sugar Loaf Peak, and its satellites, are sent down Deer creek in the form of “ tailings.” Laror Srrixe.-Messrs Rapp & Co. of ‘the Blue Tunnel at Minnesota, took out on Monday a lump of almost pure gold, weighing thirty seven pounds! The lump contains little or no quartz, and is the best haul the company have yet made, though they have been taken out from one to four ounces per day to the man. Parnrcut Accipsnt.—A man named James McGregor fell down the shaft of Loft & Co., on Mancenita Hill on Friday last, a distance of over an hundred feet, by the breaking of the windlass rope as he was descending the shaft, in the bucket. He was taken up insensible, and it is feared is fatally injured. He isa Scotchman by birth, and has a wife and six children living in Sacramento. ke Mr. Robinson opened his dancing school on Tuesday evening at the new*Hall corner of Commercial and Pine streets, atid had a large and pleasant company in attendance. Persons wishing to attend should be there on Tuesday evening next, when the preliminary lesson will be repeated, and the school enter upon its course. R. H.

Some exceedingly good instrumental (amateur) music was performed—the grand fantasia of the evening being “Away with Melancholy ”—the whole company being as it were carried away by inspiration and joining in with their voices,producing a magnificent effect. All the delicacies of the season, and of the most recherche description, were partaken of by his favored visitors, who did not retire “ till moonlight does appear. ” Want of space,prevents us giving the long list of the beaumonde present. Capets or Teuprranxcs.—A section of the Cadets of Temperance under the title of Nevada Section, No. 8, with 20 Charter Members, was organized in this city on Tuesday evening last, by the D. S.

The section meets on Tuesday evening at 6 o'clock, in the Sons of Temperance Hall. Democratic Coxvsstiox.--At the Democratic Convention which was held on Saturday, Mr. David Mahony was nominated as the Democratic candidate for State Senator, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Mr. in the decision of} Samuel Brathan.

Soxora Expspirion.—We understand, says thousand men, is already partially organized for the purpose of proceeding to Sonora in the course of two or three weeks. party will go to Sonora “for~the purpose of working the gold mines” in that State. Fixyzp.— Anthony Brown was sentenced to a fine of $100 and costs, or three months imprisonment in the county jail, for resisting an officer, by the Court of Sessions, on Thursday. .B@> Everybody is waiting patiently for rain. Frequent light rains have occurred this season, but not enough’te set the great body of miners at work. The rains are a month later this year than they were last, and curtail the mining season proportionably. Theatrical. On Saturday evening last the Robinson family gave another of their popular entertainments, being for the benefit of La Petite Susan. Three pieces were -produced, besides. dancing and singing. “The attendance was large, and the audience seemed extremely delighted. The popularity of this company has never been sarpassed by any other ever here, and none have ever been able to repeat the same pieces night after night to full houses. The great attraction where all was good was the little beneficiary, who displays a preocity of talent truly remarkable, both in acting and dancing. Her Gertrude is one of the best conceived delineations of the character possible, and evinces an acquaintance with the theory, if not the possession, of the emotions of older people. The company is fortunate. also in the association with them of Mr. Wright, who plays with admirable accuracy. His Peter Spyke is a perfect model, and his delineation of William in Blackeyed Susan shows him au fa:t also in other walks of of the drama. Miss J. Robinson plays the disdanful young lady with perfect grace. With more experience on the stage she will be an excellent actress. : Mr.and Mrs. Robinson performed an admirable burlesque dance, yclept the Irish Jig, at the conclusion, which was encored. It-was strikingly illustrative of the pictures of ‘Thackeray and other delineators of Irish life. We trust these artists will give another exhibition before leaving the county. They are great favorites also at Grass Valley. The Chapman family have played several nights the past week in town to large and wellpleased audiences. The pieces introduced are mostly new in this place, or been but little played. They have been welcomed by a good public support, and will prolong their stay between this city and Grass Valley for some time to come, if the citizens extend proper encouragement. Itis their design to provide additional novelties as the{season progresses. They played last night Love in France, a humorous comedy, Mrs, Chapman taking several characacters, and a laughable farce called.the Raffle. They play to-night for the last time previous to sists of Mr. Geo. Chapman, and his lady, who are well known to our readers, Miss M. Chapman, an accomplished danséuse,Mr. A.

DUELLING. : If there is any crime that has prevailed Men of high station have set the example, and (smaller men have followed it, till life has been repeatedly sacrificed. To such a pass has this matter proceeded that it requires more courage to withstand popular prejudice in refusing to fight than to meet an antagonist, and many men have undoubtedly gone into the field because they had not the moral courage to refuse to doso. ‘To organize a better state of things is the duty of the judiciary. The press has exerted some influence, but it has been wavering and uncertain. We are glad to perceive that Judge Creigh of San Francisco, in his charge to the new grand jury, takes earnest ground in this matter, and recommends the subject to their especial action. He says: “Another species of crime whieh our statutes prohibit is that of duelling. This is an offence of frequent occurrence amongst us. The constitution of our state deprives all who shall fight a duel, or act as second, er knowingly aid in any manner, from holding any office of henor or trust, and the statutes make it a penitentiary offence. Notwithstanding these previsions, we hear of men who occupy high places, as well under the U. 8. government as under the state, whose sworn duty it is to support the constitution and laws, engaging in these acts of murder. It is the imperative duty of grand jurors and courts to interpose and prévent such practices. So long as the duellist is permitted te go unpunished, so long will our citizens be called to risk or sacrifice their lives, and frequently for a faithful discharge of duty, or for the most trivial eause. In all cases of deliberate duelling, if death ensue, at common law it is murder, for duels are generally founded on deep revenge. The punctilio, falsely called honor, will not excuse. Our Legislature, yieldiag somewhat to that code of honor, makes it only a penitentiary offence. Many condemn the practice, yet, through a false pride of honor or a want of moral courage, engage in it. We trust you will set an example of presenting all such as you may know to have been engaged in it, be his position in society high or ow, rich or poor.” William Walker —This gentleman who is now President of the Independent Republic of Lewer California, has distinguished himself asa politician and lawyer in this State. He was born, we believe, in Louisiana, and came to California in 1849. In 1850, he became associate editor of the San Francisco Herald, and while in that position it will be remembered was committed to prison by Judge Parsons for contempt of court. The affair excited general discussion at the time. Before the Legislature of 1850-1, Mr. Walker impeached Judge Parsons, making on the occasion one of the most remarkable forensic efforts ever heard. In 1851 and 1852 he commenced the practice of law at Marysville, where he nourished his dreams of the independent republic he haa, at length, established. At the taking of La Paz he had only 45 men under his command, who were very indifferently supplied with fire-arms. An Englishman, however, whom they had released from prison, shewed where the Californians had buried their ammunition. Mr. Walker is unobtrusive in his manners, remarkably slow in speech, below the middling height, and spare in habit. If it can be understood, he has a bright grey eye. Sueh is the new Cortes. Respect to the Dead.—The citizens of Chenango county, N. Y., held a meeting in San Francisco, on the 6th inst., at which resolutions of respect were adopted in behalf. of the memory of Benjamin S. Twichell, lately killed in a land difficulty by Mr. Gilmore, H. K. Murray presided and addressed the meeting. A Fizzle—The Marysville xpress says that a meeting held in that place on Friday evening to adopt proceedings relating to Lower Califernia proved to be a complete fizzle. Nothing was done. The rumor, therefore, of four hundred men being raised there as volunteers to aid the recent conquerors, must be a mistake. k@>~ The total amount of thé various United States stocks redeemed at the treasury during the week ending Oct. 22, was $568,692.

The modification asked for by the Sultar reads thus: ; If at all times, the Emperors of Russia have shown their active solicitude for the worship of the Orthodox Greek Ohurch, the Sultans have never ceased to watch over the immunities and [privileges of that wo7ship and of that Church in the Ottoman Empire, and to confirm them anew by the solemn acts, which attest their ancient and eonstant benevolence towards their Christian subjects. me The Emperor of Russia, by rejecting the Vienna Note as modified, has, according to the London Morning Post, (the exponent of Lord Palmerston, her Majesty s Home Secretary,) placed Turkey completely in the right, and himself fatally wrong.

Late in the afternoon she lay on her beam enda, and Tuesday she went to pieces and is now a total wreck: Departure of Treops—Two hundred and fifty men, well armed, started for Lower California last vight, on the bark Anita. They had on board 2,800 pounds of powder, two pieces of heavy artillery, and several bomb shells. They were under the command of Col. H. P. Watkins. There Was no opposition made to their departure.

At a distance it sounded like the noise of some heavy machinezy, and came straight down like a water fall, forming almost a bank of water. Numerous houses supposed to have been water-proof were penetrated with the downpour, wetting the ceilings, ruining carpeis, and iling grates and cooking steves with water. The rainy season of late bas manifested itself in squalls and brisk showers, rather than by the usual steady, sedate dropping. _ Tus Losr Marrs.—It appears by a report in the San Francisco papers, that . the mails of the Scott, reported some time since as being safe, are a portion of them lost. Fatal’ Oceurrence—A melancholy affair took place at Campo Seco lately. A child was sitting at a short distance from its parents’ tent, whena bull made a rush at the child, striking it or. the head: and causing immediate death. The infuriated animal made a charge on two other persons, but did not commit further injury. The bull has not heretofore been considered as a: dangerous animal. — a ee Evrects oF Proscurrtiow.—The Democrats in different sections of the State cf New York, are bringing Hon. Greene C.

This place is but one league from San Tomas, and upon tidings of the above invasion reaching there, all the inhabitants turned out and went in pursuit of the party, whom they overtook and engaged in a slight skirmish, . was brodght to San Diego by a vacquero, setreated from the city, and have ever since which yom in the poly ao ie on the : i i rt of the Americans and two taken prisoners. peaniged tebe jan ae oa vrai sage ae Pe The Americans continued their Tetread to unsuccessful attac ay it dite i 79 we" .

Frequent light rains have occurred this season, but not enough’te set the great body of miners at work. The rains are a month later this year than they were last, and curtail the mining season proportionably. Theatrical. On Saturday evening last the Robinson family gave another of their popular entertainments, being for the benefit of La Petite Susan. Three pieces were -produced, besides. dancing and singing. “The attendance was large, and the audience seemed extremely delighted. The popularity of this company has never been sarpassed by any other ever here, and none have ever been able to repeat the same pieces night after night to full houses. The great attraction where all was good was the little beneficiary, who displays a preocity of talent truly remarkable, both in acting and dancing. Her Gertrude is one of the best conceived delineations of the character possible, and evinces an acquaintance with the theory, if not the possession, of the emotions of older people. The company is fortunate. also in the association with them of Mr. Wright, who plays with admirable accuracy. His Peter Spyke is a perfect model, and his delineation of William in Blackeyed Susan shows him au fa:t also in other walks of of the drama. Miss J. Robinson plays the disdanful young lady with perfect grace. With more experience on the stage she will be an excellent actress. : Mr.and Mrs. Robinson performed an admirable burlesque dance, yclept the Irish Jig, at the conclusion, which was encored. It-was strikingly illustrative of the pictures of ‘Thackeray and other delineators of Irish life. We trust these artists will give another exhibition before leaving the county. They are great favorites also at Grass Valley. The Chapman family have played several nights the past week in town to large and wellpleased audiences. The pieces introduced are mostly new in this place, or been but little played. They have been welcomed by a good public support, and will prolong their stay between this city and Grass Valley for some time to come, if the citizens extend proper encouragement. Itis their design to provide additional novelties as the{season progresses. They played last night Love in France, a humorous comedy, Mrs, Chapman taking several characacters, and a laughable farce called.the Raffle. They play to-night for the last time previous to sists of Mr. Geo. Chapman, and his lady, who are well known to our readers, Miss M. Chapman, an accomplished danséuse,Mr. A.

DUELLING. : If there is any crime that has prevailed Men of high station have set the example, and (smaller men have followed it, till life has been repeatedly sacrificed. To such a pass has this matter proceeded that it requires more courage to withstand popular prejudice in refusing to fight than to meet an antagonist, and many men have undoubtedly gone into the field because they had not the moral courage to refuse to doso. ‘To organize a better state of things is the duty of the judiciary. The press has exerted some influence, but it has been wavering and uncertain. We are glad to perceive that Judge Creigh of San Francisco, in his charge to the new grand jury, takes earnest ground in this matter, and recommends the subject to their especial action. He says: “Another species of crime whieh our statutes prohibit is that of duelling. This is an offence of frequent occurrence amongst us. The constitution of our state deprives all who shall fight a duel, or act as second, er knowingly aid in any manner, from holding any office of henor or trust, and the statutes make it a penitentiary offence. Notwithstanding these previsions, we hear of men who occupy high places, as well under the U. 8. government as under the state, whose sworn duty it is to support the constitution and laws, engaging in these acts of murder. It is the imperative duty of grand jurors and courts to interpose and prévent such practices. So long as the duellist is permitted te go unpunished, so long will our citizens be called to risk or sacrifice their lives, and frequently for a faithful discharge of duty, or for the most trivial eause. In all cases of deliberate duelling, if death ensue, at common law it is murder, for duels are generally founded on deep revenge. The punctilio, falsely called honor, will not excuse. Our Legislature, yieldiag somewhat to that code of honor, makes it only a penitentiary offence. Many condemn the practice, yet, through a false pride of honor or a want of moral courage, engage in it. We trust you will set an example of presenting all such as you may know to have been engaged in it, be his position in society high or ow, rich or poor.” William Walker —This gentleman who is now President of the Independent Republic of Lewer California, has distinguished himself asa politician and lawyer in this State. He was born, we believe, in Louisiana, and came to California in 1849. In 1850, he became associate editor of the San Francisco Herald, and while in that position it will be remembered was committed to prison by Judge Parsons for contempt of court. The affair excited general discussion at the time. Before the Legislature of 1850-1, Mr. Walker impeached Judge Parsons, making on the occasion one of the most remarkable forensic efforts ever heard. In 1851 and 1852 he commenced the practice of law at Marysville, where he nourished his dreams of the independent republic he haa, at length, established. At the taking of La Paz he had only 45 men under his command, who were very indifferently supplied with fire-arms. An Englishman, however, whom they had released from prison, shewed where the Californians had buried their ammunition. Mr. Walker is unobtrusive in his manners, remarkably slow in speech, below the middling height, and spare in habit. If it can be understood, he has a bright grey eye. Sueh is the new Cortes. Respect to the Dead.—The citizens of Chenango county, N. Y., held a meeting in San Francisco, on the 6th inst., at which resolutions of respect were adopted in behalf. of the memory of Benjamin S. Twichell, lately killed in a land difficulty by Mr. Gilmore, H. K. Murray presided and addressed the meeting. A Fizzle—The Marysville xpress says that a meeting held in that place on Friday evening to adopt proceedings relating to Lower Califernia proved to be a complete fizzle. Nothing was done. The rumor, therefore, of four hundred men being raised there as volunteers to aid the recent conquerors, must be a mistake. k@>~ The total amount of thé various United States stocks redeemed at the treasury during the week ending Oct. 22, was $568,692. But one quarter of this sam was on foreign account. ScnHoot Warrants.—Four thousand acres “to be located” by these warrants, commanded at auction, in the Bay city, per acre, $150 to 155. Brotat Assavtt._-A printer by the name of George Sandy, who occupies # room on the corner of Sacramento and Kearney streets, was assaulted and nearly killed, yesterday morning, about three o’clock. It appears that Mr. Sandy had been disturbed by some fellows who had made the night hideous, and could not sleep in consequence ; and, after exhausting his patience, he thought he would dress and go down below to see if he could not persuade the noisy ones to depart in After entering the room and making his reasonable request, the door was bolted, and Mr, Sandy was badly assaulted, his face beaten and cut up in a oe ae ahs te he was then thrown out in e gutter is ruffianl jlenia Warraiits tikve be issued fee wage those who committed the agsault. be arrested, and the facts us, the extreme bemeted out to them--for Mr. S .

The modification asked for by the Sultar reads thus: ; If at all times, the Emperors of Russia have shown their active solicitude for the worship of the Orthodox Greek Ohurch, the Sultans have never ceased to watch over the immunities and [privileges of that wo7ship and of that Church in the Ottoman Empire, and to confirm them anew by the solemn acts, which attest their ancient and eonstant benevolence towards their Christian subjects. me The Emperor of Russia, by rejecting the Vienna Note as modified, has, according to the London Morning Post, (the exponent of Lord Palmerston, her Majesty s Home Secretary,) placed Turkey completely in the right, and himself fatally wrong.

State Journal. The Masonic fraternity throughout the State are making preparations to appropriately celebrate the anniversary of their patron Saint, on the 27th inst. The Rain on Friday Night.--The heaviest Tain we have ever known in San Francisco fell on Friday night. It approach” ed from the southward and seemed to move like the march of a regiment up Montgomery street. At a distance it sounded like the noise of some heavy machinezy, and came straight down like a water fall, forming almost a bank of water. Numerous houses supposed to have been water-proof were penetrated with the downpour, wetting the ceilings, ruining carpeis, and iling grates and cooking steves with water. The rainy season of late bas manifested itself in squalls and brisk showers, rather than by the usual steady, sedate dropping. _ Tus Losr Marrs.—It appears by a report in the San Francisco papers, that . the mails of the Scott, reported some time since as being safe, are a portion of them lost. Fatal’ Oceurrence—A melancholy affair took place at Campo Seco lately. A child was sitting at a short distance from its parents’ tent, whena bull made a rush at the child, striking it or. the head: and causing immediate death. The infuriated animal made a charge on two other persons, but did not commit further injury. The bull has not heretofore been considered as a: dangerous animal. — a ee Evrects oF Proscurrtiow.—The Democrats in different sections of the State cf New York, are bringing Hon. Greene C.
