And should either of them r forget their obligations to that important interest as to neglect its e, or offer to silence by some conptible picayune bribe, self-respect demand of us to act for ourselves. p1c1pE.—-We very much regret to learn unnatural death of Mr. S. F. Pc, sh occurred on Sunday last, by shooting elf through the head. Mr. Peck is well nto many of our readers, as engaged Quarts Mining business in this viciniand to embarrassments in his pecuniary ers, arising from this source, may be ed the cause of his fearful determination destruction. We have evory reason ve that Mr. Peck honestly and arly desired to mete out strict justice to world, and finding his hopes and Is not realized, could not bear the moring importunities of anxious creditors, means to satisfy whose demands were within his reach. For several days his had been led to suspect that he couplated this termination of his troubles, for that reason endeavored to avoid ghim alone, But he seems to have cc sought an opportunity. On hearing the report of a pistol in his room, his friends immediately went in, and found him strag. gling with the agonies of death. He died in about two hours and alialf. Mr. Peck was . Originally from New York, but more recently from New Orleans, where he has been extensively engaged in business heretofore. Hovse Breaxixo.—On Saturday night last the house ef Rev. Mr. Warren, in this place, was entered, anda gold watch, gold chain and some over articles taken, to the value in all of some $250. On the same night Mr. James Charchman’s house way entered, but an alarm being made, the burglar fled without effecting his object. About the same time, some of the light fingered gentry entcred the house of A. G. Hursey, in Cayotevel!le, and helped themselves to @ trunk, which was known to usvally cOutain money. The money, however. had becn removed a few hours before, and Mr. Hursey expresses his regret at having led the unfortunate adventurer into so much of a disappointment. It however contained two or three duplicates of checks on Adams & Co. at New Orleans, which being of no use to the present holders, might be returned without loss to them, and would be received as a favor by Mr. Hursey, We have heard of several other similar outrages, but as we have not learned the particalars, we refrain from any farther mention of them. No wonder the list of robberies, thefts, etc. have greatly decreased in some of the larger citics. They have evidently paid a visit to the mines. Whether they will remain with us long, we do not know. We hope not, at least. Hitherto our little city has been one of the most peaceable, quiet places imaginable, with scarcely a crime or felony to be heard of for weeks. And even those drunken rows which so often disgrace newly organized society, causing bloodshed and death in profusion, have scarcely been known amongst us. For these reasons we have every confidence in the correctness of the society proper of Nevada, and the fewer instances of these outrages we have to note, the better. Strange to say, in no instance, so far as we have heard, has any clue been bad to the perpetrators. -——s Tas Carorg Hiru.—As long and as perseveringly as have tho mines in this vicinity becn worked, were one unaccustomed to the scenes to pass through them, and see the extensive operations continually going on—the untiring industry and unmitigated perseverance with which the rock and earth are handled over and washed—he would scarcely imagine the time had ever been when the opinion had been expressed that “these mines were worked out” Yet such was the opinion expressed as long as 20 months ago. Since that time, one could scarcely comprehend the fortunes that have been yielded up by our mountain sides, our hill tops, and our ravines. On Thursday evening last, we took a walk through the old diggitgs bordering the northern portion of our town; and long as we have been accustomed to, and mingled with these scenes, we could not help but regard the evidences of continued industry with astonishment. But few of these are making “large strikes,” but they are continually realizing handsome wages; and we have no doubt such will continue to be the case, even for years tu come. Tue Rarrve came off at the time appointed. Tho drawing was conducted by a committee of 12 gentlemen from various parts of the county, and Miss Sarah Margaret Gregory, daughter of Mr. A. B. Gregory. The wheel containing the numbers was placed in the large second story door of the Gregory House, in view of the crowd who had assembled to witness that it was conducted fairly. Miss Gregory, at each turn of the wheel, drew out a number, (written on asmall card and roled up with the figures inside) and handed it to I. Williamson, who opened and read the numbers. About 6000 tickets were sold, and something over @ proportionate amount of the property drawn. Of the 32 or 33 watches, only 7 or Sremain. The known integrity and disinterestedness of those who performed the duties of drawing, render any suspicion of unfairness, not only superfluous but unreasonable; particularly in drawing out and read ing the numbers, which was only done by the persons named, the little girl drawing and handing them to Mr. Williamson, who, before they passed from his hands, read the numbers aloud, that all might know the result, We understand from Mr. Dornin that they will be hero with another lot of goods during the next week. Awortner SteamBoat Comprnation.— Tho Marysville papers say that a combination has been entered into by the steamboats on the Sacramento river to raise the price of freight on light articles, above Sacramento. That there is a good deal of scheming by the different towns along the river to give one place an advantage over another we haye long since observed. With Sacramento it seems they can see no possible chance for a successful competition with San Francisco on one side and Marysville on the other but by means of high frieghts from one to the other, thus raising the price of goods at Marysville so much as to make it an object to trade at Sacramento. But few sons in the upper country will approve © these combinations; but as the consequences must be, as they have been, ruinous to the boats themselves, they cannot Inst long, and the evil will coon cure itself a EN a Ftom Southern California, By tho arrival of the steamer Constitution we have received the San Diego Herald und Los Angeles Star of the 15th inst. We copy the following from the Herald : , Revorvtion rn Basa Cattrorxia.— We received important information from Senor Antonio Sozo, who passed through here on Thuisday last, to recall Capt. Castro. that Lower Californin was again in a state of insurrection. The rebellion is headed by the brothers Melendres, and their first object is to take the town of Santo Tomas. Melendres. with some forty of his men, was met by Senor Juan Mendoza, at the head of ten men of the Government party. They were engaged in conflict at the moment of Senor Sozo's departure, near the hamlet of La Grulla, situated some four miles to the northward of Santo Tomas. Senor Sozo, however, brings the intelligence of the probable death of Senor Santa Maria Alvarez, who was left by him in La Grulla mortally wounded. No doubt the Government troops will eventually succeed in putting down the insurgents, as they have a body of thirty two men in Santo Tomas, and two pieces of artillery. We shall probably be putin session of the details by the time of lasuing our next number. From THe Gira.—A Government courier arrived at this place on last Friday week, from the Gila and Colorado rivers We could gather no news of general interest. Major Andrews, with a party of men, had gone in pursuit of some Indians, whom it was rumored were ambuscaded near the emigrant trail, for purposes of plunder. U. 8S. Bounpary Commission.—-The Commissioner, Mr. Bartlett, is hurrying on every preparation for his departure fer the Pasodel Norte, where he will probably await the arrival of the Mexican Commissioner, who will be appointed in place of the much csteemed and lamented General Garcia Conde. We have received information from somo emigrants, recently across the plains, that a party of the Commission came on as far as the Pimo Villages, where, obtaining intelligence of Mr. Bartlett being in San Diego, they returned to Paso to await his arrival. No doubt this was a portion of the Commission detailed for the survey of the Rio Bravo del Norte, which survey was to have progressed in unison with that of the Gila, but was prevented from completing its duties by the recal of Major Graham, the death of General Garcia Conde, the subsequent appointment of Major Emory, and the unavoidable absence of the American Commissioner. Deer SHootinc.—A gontleman of this place brought home four fine deer, and twelve brace of ducks, all which he shot in one day, a few miles from here. They were served up for the supper at the Pioneer Yatch Club Ball. We learn from the Star, of the 15th, that the Priests and representatives of the Mission of San Gabriel, bave pre-~ pared a petition to Congress, which is signed by 144 citizens of Los Angeles county, and claims the right of holding the church at the Mission, with the adjacent buildings, as they stand, anda piece of land contiguous thereto, includ ing the orange garden, of all which property they are now in actual possession, and seek a confirmation of the claim. It is the intention of the Catholic Bishop of California, to establish a Seminary for the education of Priests, at the Mission, on the lands referred to, with the design at on early day of extending Missionary operations to the Indians of the Tulares, and other wild tribes as well as of ameliorating the condition of the numerous Indians that once professed the faith under the paternal influence of this Mission. Serious Casuatty.--As Mr. Chauncey Langdon was returning on Friday afternoon from Gold Hill, to which point he is running an express, the mule for which he had changed a horse a few miles back, bacame unruly when a short distance this side of the Arcade Hotel, and by the turning of the saddle he was thrown off and trod upon, or kicked, with such sevolity as to cause avery bad compound fracture of the leg below the knee. Tho accident occurred just before night, about halfa mile from the road. Mr. Langdon laid in great suffering throughout the might, not being able to make his situation known to the passers by on the road, or drag himself toit. Inthe morning he was discovered by a person cutting hay near by, and removed to the nearest house. Dr. J. F. Morse, of this city, was sent for, and had the patient brought to town, where ho is now doing wel:. Ho endured extreme pain yesterday, the limb being broken in two places, and the flesh much bruised.— Transcript. AnotHer Man Suot.—We have the unpleasant duty of recording another violent death in our city. On Saturday night last, between 11 and 12 o'clock, a man named William W. James was shot through the head, at a dance house, by a California half Indian named Jose. He died on Sunday afternoon. The deceased, who is said to have boen a ateady, industrious man, was sitting quietly ona bench in the dance house, when the Indian fired from the door and ledgeda ball in his skull, causing a wound which the brains protruded. The Indian was ohased some distance, and several shote were fired at him, buat he made his escape. An inquest was held on the body, but nothing was elicited to show that the shooting of James was intentional; on the contrary, it was proved that the Indien had had a diffioulty with a Spaniard the night previous, who was in the toom at the time, ne a a ooo ane a n « Costa Rica ano Nicaraava.—It is said upon good authority that this country is willing to submit all her contested claims for arbitration to the United States, or to the United Statesand England jointly. Nicaragua and Costa Rica have contending claims, the one towards the other, which it has been impossible to reconcile, and which, it would seem, can only be settled 4 war or arbitration. Why will not England and the United States tender their services to bring about a settlement of differences between these two powers? Until they are reconciled there can be no successful negotiation between England and the United States. Negotiations have been renewed at Washington, between Messrs. Webster, Crampton, and Molina, (the representative of Costa Rica) upon this subject, but under circumstances which promise no very speedy sett'ement. Marcoletta, the Minister from Nicaragua, is not a)lowed by his government to participate in these negotiations. Mr. Crampton, it is said by some, but denied by others, is instructed by his government, to see the King of the Mosquitoes indemnified for the surrender of the pert of San Juan, to establish conjointly with England, a boundary line between her own territery and the Mosquito kingdom, and to support this claim of Costa Rica to Guanacaste, a province in dispute between Nicaragua and that republic, and which claim involves a vast tract of land, partly wild and partly settled, stretching from the Pacific, along the southern shore of Lake Nicarazua, and the right bank of the river San Juan, to the At lantic. Costa Rica also claims the free use of the port of San Juan, the river and the lake, without paying any duty to Nicaragua.—N. Y. Express. Gane or Horse Tuirves on Tuk San Joaquix.—-Mr. Gibbes, who returned yesterday from the Coast Range, informs us that upwards of one hundred horses were stolen from the ranches on the San Joaquin on Monday night last. A party of Mexicans were engaged in catching wild horses on the plains, and their animals were also driven off. One portion of them gave information of the affair to the rancheros, and another portion tracked the robbers to their hiding place in thé mountains, on the side of Pacheco’s Pass. They counted twenty five robbers--Mexicans, Americans and Indiane-—who were headed by the notorious “Spencer,” brother to the Spencer who was hung for mutity on board the brig Somers. The Mexicans were not strong enough to attack that body, so they hastened back to the river, where in a very short time twenty men mustered, and well armed, left immediately to attack the lair of these desperadoes. If they are caught no mercy will be shown; they will dangle from the branches of the first trees they may meet.—Republicin. Woop Creecx.—A friend who is working on Wood's creek, writes us that the diggings in that part of Tuo umne co continue to sustain their high reputation, and determined industry is well rewarded, An agitation is going on upon tho subject of the Asiatic influx. There are some men who would like to carry out the harsh measures adopted in the northern mines; but our correspondent thinks there is too much humanity in Tuolumne county to allow any race of men to be oppressed, however desirable it may be to remove them The creek, he says, is lined with Chinamen on both sides, from Jacksonville to Sonora, and harsh measures will only be resorted to for self protection, in case the number of Asiatics increases.—Stockton Journal. Bert Root tx Utan.—The N. Y. Tribune, says that Messrs. J. W. Cowarid, W. Collinson, and Russell, who have recently emigrated from England to Utah, have taken with them machinery for the manufacture of beet root sugar, on the largest scale. They are wealthy men, and have invested $250,000 in this enterprise alone. Their machinery was made in England, and will turn out 260 tons of sugar ina year. Fifty wagons were ordered at Kanesvilie to carry the machinery to Salt Lake city. The beot seed was sent out last year. There is no better country in the world for the roduction of beets or other roots than tah. It will bea great advantage to the people of that country to havo an article so indispensable as sugar supplied from a manufactory ameng themselves. The Liverpool Times, in noticing Col. Fremont’s arrival, says: The first of the California millionaries visiie England to set at rest the vexed question of his own title as freeholder of the Mariposa estate, and to adjust the leases of the various companies formed here for the purpose of working the mines. The Colonel has engaged for his family a suit of apartments at the Clarendon Hotel; and, looking at his past history and sudden acquisition of enormous wealth, he may justly be rearded asone of the lions of the day. ne of the first visits ey has been to Mr. Ex-Secretary Walker,who has been residing at Regiate for the benefit of his somewhat impaired health. Coon Hottow.—-Quite an excitement was created in our neighboring village last Wednesday, on account of a new discovery of rich diggings. Three miners of that place conceived tho idea of sluicing the hill side, and made every preparation, which cost them two days’ work, and on the third morning they commenced working with water taken from the. Webber creek ditch; and after working one day, they examined their sluice, and took out eleven hundred dollars. This is doing well, and may be rolied on ascorreot. On Thursday evening the whole hill side was staked off, but very few of the miners could be aocommodated with water. Shall the South Fork Canal be built? oz must the . gold that is lying on our bill sides roand not far from James.-—Stockton Jour. main where it 1st—-El Eorado News Horrip Mourpers — As we go to prees, we learn that two Frenchmen, while asleep in their tent near Jackson, were assaulied by certain Mexicans, who killed one on the spot, and left the other for dead, and then robbed the tent of every thing valuable. The wounded man is still living, and has described the murderers, so that it is hoped they will be recognized and captured. This is the fourth murder committed within a few weeke, in this same vicinity, and probably by the same gang.— Chronicle. Emioration to America. — Great numbers of German Emigrants are leaving for America by the French, Belgian and German ports. From the Ist to the 13th March not fewer than 3275 emigrants sailed from the wouth of the Weser, and on the latter day between 700 and 800 were waiting for vessels to convey them. In Bohemia, ina district of Blowitz, an emigration society has been formed, the object of which is to establish a Bohemian and Moravian colony in North America. The number of German emigrants who passed through Cologne in the month of February, to — for America was twenty thousand. Cattrornia Fortunes.—It is estimamated that out of every hundred persons whe have gone to California, fifty have been Fann, forty no better than they would have been hed they remained at home, five a little better, four something better still, and one has made a fortune. That seems to be a fair prortion of the California adventurers. — . Y. Herald. Daity Eventno JourNAx is the title of & new paper which made its appearance in San Francisco on Monday last—Pinkham, Geo & Co., publishers; A.M. Macy & W. D. Bickham, editors. It is designed a3 a political paper of the whig faith~makes a very neat appearance, and seems to start un der favorable auspices. It is of moderate size, and in this respect makes « much better appearance than any of those overgrown dailies, which for the gratification of a vain ambition to flourish a largo sheet, publish daily from 6 to 12 columns of dead matter; & piece of folly no less ridiculous than injurious to the publishers. York Mininc Company.--The ditch which has recently been located to bring water into the newly discovered diggings at . Little York, has been commenced, and five miles of it completed. Capt. Chapman informs us that the prospect now is, the ditch will be completed sooner than the contract calls for, which is the [2th of July. The ecntract was given to Wm. H. Starr, at $19,800. New Bripce.—A subscription has been recently circulated, for the construction of a bridge across Deer Creek at the Broad st. crossing. It is estimated to cost, according to the plan exhibited, about $1000, about $800 of which have been raised. Mr. Wa. BuLutneron, has been appuinted to take the censas of Nevada county. Mr. Bullington has had the misfortune to lose the use of his right arm since he has been among us, which, added to the fact that . he is eminently qualified and smstworthy, . recommends the appointment. heer Lev’s Crncts.—This company perform: . ed, av was noticed in our last, on Friday, . Saturday, and Sunday evenings. Much of . their performance is really of a superior . character, particularly that of the Leo fami. ly, H. C. Lee and his two sons. These two little boys have, we believe, been trained: from infancy to the performance of those feats which have hitherto been considered the work only of a fey exceptions among men. But few, if any, who visit them with large expectations, are disappointed — { That Beer from the Nevada Brewery on . Broad st, was a little ahead of anything that has recently come in our way. Mr. Buarlin. gam knows how to do prove good beer. Michie & Coates, near the Roger Williams Spring are also said to manufacture a superior article. OG” We are indebted to Adams & Co. fer furnishing us with regular files of the Oregon papers. They contain nothing of . terest to our readers. Notice to the Whig Party. The Whigs of Nevada county are requested to meet at the City of Nevada, California, on the third Saturday in June next, at one o'clock, p. M., for the purpose of either making the necessary arrangements for the qousty meeting for the nemination of candidates for the Legislature and county officers, or to form a new Central Committee in place of those who have left the county under & previous appointment, the absence of whom leaves the party without a Committee. Itis suggested that at least six men should represent each township at that meeting. MANY WHIGS. May 26th, 1852. Democratic County Convention.

San Antonio.—This is the name of a camp situated on the South Fork of the Calaveras about 20 miles from this town, where the river is now being turned for the summer season. The river has already been prospected in some placer, and found to be very rich. There will doubtless be a large camp there this season.—Calav. Chronzele Mininc News.—The t master ct Georgetown writes us that there isa company now making preparations tv bring the water of Rock Canon to Kelsey’s diggings, Georgetown and Peru. They anticipate completing the canal to Kelsey’s in about four weeks, and tu Georgetown sometime during the present summer. In order to bring the water outof the canon, they have to floom a distance of six miles. The cos: of this enterprise ia estimated at about $100,000. A survey lias just been completed for the purpose of deciding upon the practicability of bringing the waters of tho South Fork into Georgetown. The dietunce is twenty miles, and the estimated cost of the work $300,000. The project is pronounced feasibie.--Union. AsotHer Gotp Discovery.—Mr. A P. Ankeny has shown us the richest specimen of gold bearing quartz we have yetseen. The specimen was broken from a ledge of quartz rock situated about twenty five miles east of the Bric tow fork of the Willamette river, on tho west slope of the Cascade range. It has long been the opinion of those best ncquainted with mining operations, thas the Cascade range would eventually aes as rich mines aa any portion of alifornia or southern Oregon, No examinations have as yet been made with a view to ascertain the exact localities of the mines, but sufficient is known ta warrant the opinion that gold can be found throughout the whole range of the Cascade mountains.

But we are sometimes dispored prget or orerlook that which is neary for our well being, in our zeal political preferences Either of the t political parties in the northern es, contains men enough whose insts are permanently identified with and who would be an ornament only to the stato they represent, bat nation whose legislative halls shey beenter. And should either of them r forget their obligations to that important interest as to neglect its e, or offer to silence by some conptible picayune bribe, self-respect demand of us to act for ourselves. p1c1pE.—-We very much regret to learn unnatural death of Mr. S. F. Pc, sh occurred on Sunday last, by shooting elf through the head. Mr. Peck is well nto many of our readers, as engaged Quarts Mining business in this viciniand to embarrassments in his pecuniary ers, arising from this source, may be ed the cause of his fearful determination destruction. We have evory reason ve that Mr. Peck honestly and arly desired to mete out strict justice to world, and finding his hopes and Is not realized, could not bear the moring importunities of anxious creditors, means to satisfy whose demands were within his reach. For several days his had been led to suspect that he couplated this termination of his troubles, for that reason endeavored to avoid ghim alone, But he seems to have cc sought an opportunity. On hearing the report of a pistol in his room, his friends immediately went in, and found him strag. gling with the agonies of death. He died in about two hours and alialf. Mr. Peck was . Originally from New York, but more recently from New Orleans, where he has been extensively engaged in business heretofore. Hovse Breaxixo.—On Saturday night last the house ef Rev. Mr. Warren, in this place, was entered, anda gold watch, gold chain and some over articles taken, to the value in all of some $250. On the same night Mr. James Charchman’s house way entered, but an alarm being made, the burglar fled without effecting his object. About the same time, some of the light fingered gentry entcred the house of A. G. Hursey, in Cayotevel!le, and helped themselves to @ trunk, which was known to usvally cOutain money. The money, however. had becn removed a few hours before, and Mr. Hursey expresses his regret at having led the unfortunate adventurer into so much of a disappointment. It however contained two or three duplicates of checks on Adams & Co. at New Orleans, which being of no use to the present holders, might be returned without loss to them, and would be received as a favor by Mr. Hursey, We have heard of several other similar outrages, but as we have not learned the particalars, we refrain from any farther mention of them. No wonder the list of robberies, thefts, etc. have greatly decreased in some of the larger citics. They have evidently paid a visit to the mines. Whether they will remain with us long, we do not know. We hope not, at least. Hitherto our little city has been one of the most peaceable, quiet places imaginable, with scarcely a crime or felony to be heard of for weeks. And even those drunken rows which so often disgrace newly organized society, causing bloodshed and death in profusion, have scarcely been known amongst us. For these reasons we have every confidence in the correctness of the society proper of Nevada, and the fewer instances of these outrages we have to note, the better. Strange to say, in no instance, so far as we have heard, has any clue been bad to the perpetrators. -——s Tas Carorg Hiru.—As long and as perseveringly as have tho mines in this vicinity becn worked, were one unaccustomed to the scenes to pass through them, and see the extensive operations continually going on—the untiring industry and unmitigated perseverance with which the rock and earth are handled over and washed—he would scarcely imagine the time had ever been when the opinion had been expressed that “these mines were worked out” Yet such was the opinion expressed as long as 20 months ago. Since that time, one could scarcely comprehend the fortunes that have been yielded up by our mountain sides, our hill tops, and our ravines. On Thursday evening last, we took a walk through the old diggitgs bordering the northern portion of our town; and long as we have been accustomed to, and mingled with these scenes, we could not help but regard the evidences of continued industry with astonishment. But few of these are making “large strikes,” but they are continually realizing handsome wages; and we have no doubt such will continue to be the case, even for years tu come. Tue Rarrve came off at the time appointed. Tho drawing was conducted by a committee of 12 gentlemen from various parts of the county, and Miss Sarah Margaret Gregory, daughter of Mr. A. B. Gregory. The wheel containing the numbers was placed in the large second story door of the Gregory House, in view of the crowd who had assembled to witness that it was conducted fairly. Miss Gregory, at each turn of the wheel, drew out a number, (written on asmall card and roled up with the figures inside) and handed it to I. Williamson, who opened and read the numbers. About 6000 tickets were sold, and something over @ proportionate amount of the property drawn. Of the 32 or 33 watches, only 7 or Sremain. The known integrity and disinterestedness of those who performed the duties of drawing, render any suspicion of unfairness, not only superfluous but unreasonable; particularly in drawing out and read ing the numbers, which was only done by the persons named, the little girl drawing and handing them to Mr. Williamson, who, before they passed from his hands, read the numbers aloud, that all might know the result, We understand from Mr. Dornin that they will be hero with another lot of goods during the next week. Awortner SteamBoat Comprnation.— Tho Marysville papers say that a combination has been entered into by the steamboats on the Sacramento river to raise the price of freight on light articles, above Sacramento. That there is a good deal of scheming by the different towns along the river to give one place an advantage over another we haye long since observed. With Sacramento it seems they can see no possible chance for a successful competition with San Francisco on one side and Marysville on the other but by means of high frieghts from one to the other, thus raising the price of goods at Marysville so much as to make it an object to trade at Sacramento. But few sons in the upper country will approve © these combinations; but as the consequences must be, as they have been, ruinous to the boats themselves, they cannot Inst long, and the evil will coon cure itself a EN a Ftom Southern California, By tho arrival of the steamer Constitution we have received the San Diego Herald und Los Angeles Star of the 15th inst. We copy the following from the Herald : , Revorvtion rn Basa Cattrorxia.— We received important information from Senor Antonio Sozo, who passed through here on Thuisday last, to recall Capt. Castro. that Lower Californin was again in a state of insurrection. The rebellion is headed by the brothers Melendres, and their first object is to take the town of Santo Tomas. Melendres. with some forty of his men, was met by Senor Juan Mendoza, at the head of ten men of the Government party. They were engaged in conflict at the moment of Senor Sozo's departure, near the hamlet of La Grulla, situated some four miles to the northward of Santo Tomas. Senor Sozo, however, brings the intelligence of the probable death of Senor Santa Maria Alvarez, who was left by him in La Grulla mortally wounded. No doubt the Government troops will eventually succeed in putting down the insurgents, as they have a body of thirty two men in Santo Tomas, and two pieces of artillery. We shall probably be putin session of the details by the time of lasuing our next number. From THe Gira.—A Government courier arrived at this place on last Friday week, from the Gila and Colorado rivers We could gather no news of general interest. Major Andrews, with a party of men, had gone in pursuit of some Indians, whom it was rumored were ambuscaded near the emigrant trail, for purposes of plunder. U. 8S. Bounpary Commission.—-The Commissioner, Mr. Bartlett, is hurrying on every preparation for his departure fer the Pasodel Norte, where he will probably await the arrival of the Mexican Commissioner, who will be appointed in place of the much csteemed and lamented General Garcia Conde. We have received information from somo emigrants, recently across the plains, that a party of the Commission came on as far as the Pimo Villages, where, obtaining intelligence of Mr. Bartlett being in San Diego, they returned to Paso to await his arrival. No doubt this was a portion of the Commission detailed for the survey of the Rio Bravo del Norte, which survey was to have progressed in unison with that of the Gila, but was prevented from completing its duties by the recal of Major Graham, the death of General Garcia Conde, the subsequent appointment of Major Emory, and the unavoidable absence of the American Commissioner. Deer SHootinc.—A gontleman of this place brought home four fine deer, and twelve brace of ducks, all which he shot in one day, a few miles from here. They were served up for the supper at the Pioneer Yatch Club Ball. We learn from the Star, of the 15th, that the Priests and representatives of the Mission of San Gabriel, bave pre-~ pared a petition to Congress, which is signed by 144 citizens of Los Angeles county, and claims the right of holding the church at the Mission, with the adjacent buildings, as they stand, anda piece of land contiguous thereto, includ ing the orange garden, of all which property they are now in actual possession, and seek a confirmation of the claim. It is the intention of the Catholic Bishop of California, to establish a Seminary for the education of Priests, at the Mission, on the lands referred to, with the design at on early day of extending Missionary operations to the Indians of the Tulares, and other wild tribes as well as of ameliorating the condition of the numerous Indians that once professed the faith under the paternal influence of this Mission. Serious Casuatty.--As Mr. Chauncey Langdon was returning on Friday afternoon from Gold Hill, to which point he is running an express, the mule for which he had changed a horse a few miles back, bacame unruly when a short distance this side of the Arcade Hotel, and by the turning of the saddle he was thrown off and trod upon, or kicked, with such sevolity as to cause avery bad compound fracture of the leg below the knee. Tho accident occurred just before night, about halfa mile from the road. Mr. Langdon laid in great suffering throughout the might, not being able to make his situation known to the passers by on the road, or drag himself toit. Inthe morning he was discovered by a person cutting hay near by, and removed to the nearest house. Dr. J. F. Morse, of this city, was sent for, and had the patient brought to town, where ho is now doing wel:. Ho endured extreme pain yesterday, the limb being broken in two places, and the flesh much bruised.— Transcript. AnotHer Man Suot.—We have the unpleasant duty of recording another violent death in our city. On Saturday night last, between 11 and 12 o'clock, a man named William W. James was shot through the head, at a dance house, by a California half Indian named Jose. He died on Sunday afternoon. The deceased, who is said to have boen a ateady, industrious man, was sitting quietly ona bench in the dance house, when the Indian fired from the door and ledgeda ball in his skull, causing a wound which the brains protruded. The Indian was ohased some distance, and several shote were fired at him, buat he made his escape. An inquest was held on the body, but nothing was elicited to show that the shooting of James was intentional; on the contrary, it was proved that the Indien had had a diffioulty with a Spaniard the night previous, who was in the toom at the time, ne a a ooo ane a n « Costa Rica ano Nicaraava.—It is said upon good authority that this country is willing to submit all her contested claims for arbitration to the United States, or to the United Statesand England jointly. Nicaragua and Costa Rica have contending claims, the one towards the other, which it has been impossible to reconcile, and which, it would seem, can only be settled 4 war or arbitration. Why will not England and the United States tender their services to bring about a settlement of differences between these two powers? Until they are reconciled there can be no successful negotiation between England and the United States. Negotiations have been renewed at Washington, between Messrs. Webster, Crampton, and Molina, (the representative of Costa Rica) upon this subject, but under circumstances which promise no very speedy sett'ement. Marcoletta, the Minister from Nicaragua, is not a)lowed by his government to participate in these negotiations. Mr. Crampton, it is said by some, but denied by others, is instructed by his government, to see the King of the Mosquitoes indemnified for the surrender of the pert of San Juan, to establish conjointly with England, a boundary line between her own territery and the Mosquito kingdom, and to support this claim of Costa Rica to Guanacaste, a province in dispute between Nicaragua and that republic, and which claim involves a vast tract of land, partly wild and partly settled, stretching from the Pacific, along the southern

shore of Lake Nicarazua, and the right bank of the river San Juan, to the At lantic. Costa Rica also claims the free use of the port of San Juan, the river and the lake, without paying any duty to Nicaragua.—N. Y. Express. Gane or Horse Tuirves on Tuk San Joaquix.—-Mr. Gibbes, who returned yesterday from the Coast Range, informs us that upwards of one hundred horses were stolen from the ranches on the San Joaquin on Monday night last. A party of Mexicans were engaged in catching wild horses on the plains, and their animals were also driven off. One portion of them gave information of the affair to the rancheros, and another portion tracked the robbers to their hiding place in thé mountains, on the side of Pacheco’s Pass. They counted twenty five robbers--Mexicans, Americans and Indiane-—who were headed by the notorious “Spencer,” brother to the Spencer who was hung for mutity on board the brig Somers. The Mexicans were not strong enough to attack that body, so they hastened back to the river, where in a very short time twenty men mustered, and well armed, left immediately to attack the lair of these desperadoes. If they are caught no mercy will be shown; they will dangle from the branches of the first trees they may meet.—Republicin. Woop Creecx.—A friend who is working on Wood's creek, writes us that the diggings in that part of Tuo umne co continue to sustain their high reputation, and determined industry is well rewarded, An agitation is going on upon tho subject of the Asiatic influx. There are some men who would like to carry out the harsh measures adopted in the northern mines; but our correspondent thinks there is too much humanity in Tuolumne county to allow any race of men to be oppressed, however desirable it may be to remove them The creek, he says, is lined with Chinamen on both sides, from Jacksonville to Sonora, and harsh measures will only be resorted to for self protection, in case the number of Asiatics increases.—Stockton Journal. Bert Root tx Utan.—The N. Y. Tribune, says that Messrs. J. W. Cowarid, W. Collinson, and Russell, who have recently emigrated from England to Utah, have taken with them machinery for the manufacture of beet root sugar, on the largest scale. They are wealthy men, and have invested $250,000 in this enterprise alone. Their machinery was made in England, and will turn out 260 tons of sugar ina year. Fifty wagons were ordered at Kanesvilie to carry the machinery to Salt Lake city. The beot seed was sent out last year. There is no better country in the world for the roduction of beets or other roots than tah. It will bea great advantage to the people of that country to havo an article so indispensable as sugar supplied from a manufactory ameng themselves. The Liverpool Times, in noticing Col. Fremont’s arrival, says: The first of the California millionaries visiie England to set at rest the vexed question of his own title as freeholder of the Mariposa estate, and to adjust the leases of the various companies formed here for the purpose of working the mines. The Colonel has engaged for his family a suit of apartments at the Clarendon Hotel; and, looking at his past history and sudden acquisition of enormous wealth, he may justly be rearded asone of the lions of the day. ne of the first visits ey has been to Mr. Ex-Secretary Walker,who has been residing at Regiate for the benefit of his somewhat impaired health. Coon Hottow.—-Quite an excitement was created in our neighboring village last Wednesday, on account of a new discovery of rich diggings. Three miners of that place conceived tho idea of sluicing the hill side, and made every preparation, which cost them two days’ work, and on the third morning they commenced working with water taken from the. Webber creek ditch; and after working one day, they examined their sluice, and took out eleven hundred dollars. This is doing well, and may be rolied on ascorreot. On Thursday evening the whole hill side was staked off, but very few of the miners could be aocommodated with water.

The wounded man is still living, and has described the murderers, so that it is hoped they will be recognized and captured. This is the fourth murder committed within a few weeke, in this same vicinity, and probably by the same gang.— Chronicle. Emioration to America. — Great numbers of German Emigrants are leaving for America by the French, Belgian and German ports. From the Ist to the 13th March not fewer than 3275 emigrants sailed from the wouth of the Weser, and on the latter day between 700 and 800 were waiting for vessels to convey them. In Bohemia, ina district of Blowitz, an emigration society has been formed, the object of which is to establish a Bohemian and Moravian colony in North America. The number of German emigrants who passed through Cologne in the month of February, to — for America was twenty thousand. Cattrornia Fortunes.—It is estimamated that out of every hundred persons whe have gone to California, fifty have been Fann, forty no better than they would have been hed they remained at home, five a little better, four something better still, and one has made a fortune. That seems to be a fair prortion of the California adventurers. — . Y. Herald.

York Mininc Company.--The ditch which has recently been located to bring water into the newly discovered diggings at . Little York, has been commenced, and five miles of it completed. Capt.
