An investigation was going onin Washiogton, at last accounts, in regard to the publie priuting, A dispatch, dated Feb. 4th, says: Wendell has been examined for three hours upon the priuting investigation, It appeared that:seven or eight were interested in the print ing—Steadman, Banks, McLeeo, Walker, Rice, Severus and Bowman. He stated he bad paid out for the paet three years over one hundred thousand dollars for party support to newspapers—in aid of election expenses in Pennsylvania, principe: but extending over New York Maryland, Ohio, etc, Considerable had been paid by official authority, and some by bis own free will, He also stated that by the action of the Seuate, in electing Bowman, who had giv"en the work to Biair & Rives, he had been left aniless, with the largest establishment in the Jnion lying idle. Bowman’s conduct toward Wendell was shown upio avery bad light. Bewmas, it appears, bas given part of the work to Jewett, the editor of the Fillmore organ at Buffalo. A. N. Banks and J. O, Severns were also examined, They did not seem to know much, + i that they received some aid from Wenell. Wendell testified that out of the Post office blank printing he paid, in 187, the sum of $6,000 to the Pennsylvania newspaper of Philadelphia ; and to the Evening Argus, of Philadeiphia, the sum of $5,000. He informed the . Committee they went into doubifal Democratic districts in Pennsylvania, and epent money freely for the benefit of the supporters of the policy of the Administration. Rice, ofthe Pennsylvanian, was also before the Committee, and did not discredit the testimony of Wendell, MARYLAND AND THE Unton.—The resolutions of the South Carolina Legislature, proposing a eoovention of the Southern States, for the purpose inaugurating a disunion movement, were read lately before the Legislature of Maryland, The leading men of both parties denouneed them asa proposition for national treason, There was quite a strong vote to lay them on the table, without reading them, and they would have been so disposed ef, but for the plea of respect toa sovereign State. Gov. Hicks, ina letter to the Governor of South Carolina, informs the latter that Maryland cannot see any relief, but only injury, in the establishment on her borders of a foreign asylum for her fugitive slaves. Tus Lawrence Catamity.—The Coroner's jury, in the case of the Pemberton Mills disaster, have rendered a verdict, in whieh they declare their belief that the owners, at the time of the fall of the building bad no reason to dite trust its security. They find the direct cause of the fall to have been the weakness of the east iron columns, the thinness of the brick walls, the manner of construction, and the length of span from one support to another, The responsibility of the defective iron work rests on Albert Fuller; and from defeets of construction and insufficient tests on Chas. L. Bigelow, the architect and superintendent, whom the jury find responsible for the death of the buman beings Jost. Coxvicrgp or Hienway Ronpery.—Marco . Marino, who claims to be an Austrian, but is . supposed to be a Greek, was tried before the . Court of Sessions of Placer county, last week, . on acharge of stopping a stage near Sarabs-. ville, on the 2d of Augnst Jast, and robbing it} of $1,443, the trensure of Freeman & Co, The have sentenced on Saturday. One of bis com. rades in the expedition, Geo. Williams, was . . convicted some time since, and bas been eev-. the chain of fatality. tenced to the State Prison for ten years. IncenprarisM.—A two-story frame building, situated on the corner of Fifth and P streets, . Sacramento, was set on fire about three o’clock, last Wednesday morning, and together with its . eontents was entirely consumed, The building belonged to Mr. M. Keating, who occupied it as . a grocery store, The total loss was about . $3,000. Two watch dogs belonging to Mr. . Keating have recently been poisoned, from . which it is inferred that this incendiary attempt bad been regularly concocted and carried out, AN action in the nature of @ quo warranto has been instituted by the Attorney General, in the Sacramento District Court, against Wm. R. The object of this action is to test the right of Judge Turner to hold said office—it being alleged that he was not eligible at the time of his election, by . reason of holding an office under the United States, viz: the office of Inspector of Customs at Trinidad. The case will doubtless go to the Supreme Court. Tue Secretary of the Interior has applied to the Sac and Fox Indians for «full Indian wardress, to be presented through the French Minister, to Louis Napoleon. The tribe bas most generously responded with a splendid equipment ; sealp-knife, tomahawk, peace-pipe, and various other articles of savage warfare. No expense has been epared by way of ornament and decoration. A Vateaste Mine.—A dispatch from San Franciseo, of Feb. 29th, says that a one ninetysixth interest in the Ophir ‘Co’s. claim on the Comstock silver lead, had sold in that city for $10,000 in cash. At this rate, the market value of the claims would be within a fraetion of a million of dollars. Leo Broxen.—Mr, W. B. Farwell, one of the editors of the Als California, bad his leg broken on Tuesday of last week, in jumping from the stage while on his way from Folsom to Placerville. Some of the rigging of the stage broke, and fearing it would upset, be jumped out, Empezziement,—Jobn Tallman, formerly agent of Freeman & Co., at Tehama, bas been arrested on a charge of embezzling $450 from his former employers. Practics vs. Preacuine —An eastern paper states that Neal Dow, the originator and cbampion of the Maine probibitory liquor law, js pow 8 drankerd, . whether such is the case. ee Massacre or Inprans.—A late arrival from the north, brings intelligence of a terrible Indian massacre, at Humboldt Bay, on Sunday morning, Feb. 26th. Mr. J. A. Lord, the express messenger of Wells, Fargo & Co., furnishes the following particulars of the butchery: Between three and four o’clock on Sunday morning ome February) an attack was made by a of white men, wi the Indians at several villages around Humboldt Bay. At Indian Island, opposite the town of Eureka, and distant but a few hundred ards, more than forty Indians were killed, threeourths of the number being women antl children. On the beach, south of the entrance to the bay, fort or fifty Indians were also killed, Re says all that were there—every one—were killed. It is also reported, and is no doubt true, that a simultaneous attack was was made upon the villages on Eel river. From what was known at Eureka, not less than two hundred Indians—men, women and children— were killed on this Sabbath morning. It is believed that the farmers and graziers of Eel river eountry, who have suffered from Indian depredations, during the past year, were the men #4 performed the deed. The cause assigned is that the coast Indians furnished arms and ammunition to those in the mountains, and gave them asylum, when hard pressed by the voluuteers. They have been seen to take large quantities of beef from the mountains to their houses nearer the settlements. Most of the people at Eureka and vicinity were bitter in their denunciation of this wholesale butchery. Snootinc APratR—On Tuesday night, Feb. 2ist, aman named Joseph Connor was killed at Yorktown, Tuolmne county, under the following circumstances, as related by the Sonora Democrat: A lot of Chinamen, who are camping near the residence of Judge Brunton, were aroused from their slumbers and thrown into consternation by an attack from a party of white men, who commenced tearing down their shanties, and beating such of the Celestials as fell into their hands, There were a number of shots fired—some by the Chinamen, and some by the whites. The son of Judge Brunton and a young man named John Morris, who were sleeping in a house near the cabins of the Chinese, hearing the disturbance, got up, and hearing the white men, as they say, speak of attacking Judge Brunton’s house, discharged a rifle in the direction of the party three times. The assailants then left, and packed the body of Connor, who was mortally wounded by a large sized ball, to Poverty Hill, where he died in about four or five hours. There are some doubts entertained whether he was killed by the discharge of the rifle of young Brunton, or by a shot fired by the Chinamen. If he was killed by the discharge of the rifle of Brunton it was a chance shot, as the night was too dark to sce the parties. Brunton and Morris came to Sonora the next morning, and gave themselves up to the authorities. : REPUBLICANS IN DisGuisr.—The Shasta Courier, speaking of J. C. Hinkley, late a “sound and reliable” Lecompton Democrat, now a Republican, says: This gentleman was editor of the Shasta Republican before it adopted the name Herald. The Republican, as will be remembered, was a violent supporter of Mr. Buchanan’s Kansas policy, and pronounced unsound the Democracy of the Courier, and of all who did not approve the Lecompton Constitution. Indeed, no paper in California was more bitter in its denunciations of Douglas, for his opposition to the Lecompton Constitution, than the Republican. There. are other Republicans in our gery in this county, in the disguise of Democrats, Ye have known the fact for years. They will show the cloven foot when they get a little more earnest and sufficiently brave. And yet, strange to say, without exception, they have been warm supporters of the Lecompton Constitution, and have been pare ticularly hostile towards the Courier because it did not see fit to damn Douglas, ‘The sooner the party is rid of such material, the better. AN Inctpent.—The following singular circumstance, connected with the wreck of the Northerner, is one of those strange episodes of real life which seem to border on the realms of fiction. A gentleman and his wife, of Oregon, were returning from San Francisco with the dead body of their child, which they were taking home for interment. When the unfortunate aecident occurred, the wife was saved with other ladies, who were taken ashore in the first boat, but the husband perished. ‘The body of the little one, whose death had thus indirectly led to the loss of its unhappy parent, sank ‘unknelled” into the depths of that mighty cemetery whose rest is bounded by eternity. Here, too, in death united, . jury found a verdict of guilty, and he was to! fut) fathom five its father lies.” The feclings of that childless mother, widowed by the recoil of the first cruel blow, may be easily imagined. But, again, a singular event occurred, forming the last link in The widow lost everything; but, on the morning after the wreck, a phosogrers of her husband, unharmed and uninjured, was washed ashore by the relenting element, that, in its first blind fury, had engulfed the living andthe dead.— Northern Californian. Tue Wasnor Mines.—The Territorial Enterprise, of Feb, 25th, has the following: Claims upon all the leads have advanced considerably the past week. ‘The appearance among us of capitalists from California, representing an almost unlimited amount of capital, has had the effect to enhance the value of all claims that are supposed to be good. Quite a number of sales have been made at very fair prices. There is a report that Maldanada had sold his interest in the Mexican claim for $125,000, but we are not fully advised The claim is well worth the price spoken of, Several sales were made in the Coppers & Mills claim, near Gold Hill, for a wretty high figure. It was reported that silver ore Rad been found in that claim, A new lead just over the divide to American Flat has been struck, called the Arizona lead, which promises to be rich. A Goop Worken.—The Rev, A. C. Edmunds, editor of the Star of the Pacific, (Universalist,) says that in the last four ype he has traveled 850 miles by stage; 2,700 by water; on horse back 2,300, and on foot 5,700; has preached 314 sermons, and delivered 27 lectures; married seven couples; circulated 36,000 copies of the Star; published 5,000 sermons and 600 pamphlets, besides distributing a large number of books and tracts, Tae Wrattn or CaLrrorntA-—The total assessed valuation of this State isa fraction over $131,000,000. Nearly all of this property has been created since 1848. ‘The total amount of gold carried out of the State, as appears by the Custom House books, and eatimated as outgoing in private hands, is not far from $650,000,000. The true amount is more likely to exceed than fall short of these figures. Lucky Escare.—On Sunday evening, a little boy three years old, son of Thomas King, fell from the pried? ove of the residence of his father in San Francisco, a distance of about eighteen or twenty feet, landing on the sidewalk. He was picked up senseless by his father, but on recovering and being examined it was found that he had sustained no serious injury. Conspmmacy 1N SONORA.—<A conspiracy was lately formed at Hermosillo, Sonora, to assassinate Gov. Pesqueria upon his retuen from Guaymas. A foreigner in the secret, informed the Governor, who caused to be arrested several of the most prominent citizens. Movine Norru.—The Los Angeles Star says that many of the residents of San Bernardino county are intending to remove, this spring, to the upper country. They are —— from Texas who settled there within past year or two. Ricn Quvuanrtz.—A few days since, at Yreka, sixty dollars worth of gold were crushad from five and a half pounds of rock taken from the Ish quartz lead, near Jacksonville, southern Oregon. AccORDING to the Gleaner, the total amount of contributions made in California, for the relief of the Jews at Gibraltar, is about $4,600. The Humboldt Times says that abound jn great abundanee in the Humboldt Bay waters, SENA' DOUGLAS. The Washington . spondent of the New York Times thus sketches Senator Douglas, as he ‘pears on the floor of the Senate : Every Senator is in his seat, exeept the orator of the day. The floor outside the bar is crowded with Con and diplomatiste, Governors, ex-Governors, delegates to Charleston, and representative men of all political shades, sizes, sections, positions and degrees. The fans in the galleries keep up a busy . fluttering, and the hum of conversation from the floor completely drown the routine business, which the Clerk of the Senate is atttempting to transact. At length there is a commotion round the central r of the Chamber ; all the leries rise with one consent to see the com-~og man; the Congressmen and outsidere crowd back, forming a human avenue, and the Little Giant enters, leading his two boys by the band, It is not decorum to applaud, but a loud bezz of welcome from every quarter causes Bright, Slidell, Bigler, and the others of that clique, to cast threatening glances, first upwards, and next towards the het gonatatArse. Dou enters the cloak-room under the gallery, and at the appointed moment rises in bis eeat and begins to speak. The Little Giant, as he has well been styled, isseen to advantage on the floor. Looking down upon him, his want of hight is not observed, while the easy dignity of his mauner stamps him asthe natural Lord of any scene through whieh he moves. Short, thickset, and built with great muscularity of body, bis massive and leonine bead rivets undivided attention. It is a bead of the antique, with someting. the infinite in its expression of power; a head most difficult to describe—but one better worth description, ina phrenological aspect, than aoy other in the country, Douglas has a brain of unusual size, covered with heavy and lengthy masses of dark brown hair, rather inclined to curl, thickly sprinkled with silver, His forehead is bigh, open and splendidly developed, based on dark, shaggy eyebrows, and of enormous width, His eyes, large and deeply set, are of the darkest and most piercing blue. His nose is short, the eyebrows lapping down over it where it joins the forehead ; while the nostrils—-broad, muscular and full of power, are framed in two deeply cut channels, which slope down and offon either side, until they strike the corners of the mouth. The month itself is full, strong and finely arched, but with something of bitter and sad experience ip its general expression, The chin is square and Vigorous, and, together with the lower part of the face, is full of eddyiog dimples—the muscles and nerves showing great mobility, and every thought having some external reflection in the sensitive and expressive features, Add to these a rich brown complexion, very clear and healthful ; shaved cheeks ; a handsome and massive throat ; small white cars, almost hidden under the tangle of browngray bair ; eyes which ray out electric vivacity whenever the eye-brows are lifted ; small white hands ; small feet ; a full chest and broad shoulders ; a@ prominent aod fall ander lip, which in repose is frequently lappedfover thegupper eae —and with these points daly blended together, you will have a picture of the Little Giant as good as can be given under the hurry and excitement of this letter, As a speaker, Douglas scems to disdain ornament, and marches right on against the body of his subject with irresistible power and directuess. His rhetorical assault has nothing ef the cavalry slash in its impressiveness, rather resembling a charge of heavy infantry with fixed bayonet, and calling forcibly to mind the attack of those “six thousand English veterans” immortalized by Thomas Davis: “Steady they step adown the slo testy they climb the ML Steady they load—steady they fire— Marching right onward still.” His voice is a rich and mus cal baritone, rather monotonous in its passages of statemeut, but swelling into occasional clarion blasts towards the close of each important period, Me is heard with breathless attention, except when, now and again, the galleries feel tempted to applaud— these demonstrations appearing to give particular uneasiness to the Administration, Secesrion and Republican Senators, and drawing dewn upon us, once or twice, threats that “the valleries shall be cleared if these unseemly diaturbances are repeated,’’ Just in the middle of his speech, the Congrosemen upon the floor—about one hnudred and fifty—received notice vbata vote was about to be taken in the House; and this at once produced a stampede which caused Douglus to suspend for the space of a few minutes, As fast as they had answered their names they returned—-the B’s coming first, the O's follow. ing. and so on through the reet of the alphabet. Seward, against whom a great part of the Little Giant's speech is directed, sits uneasily in his chair, stroking his long face with his hand, smiling, and appearing to pay close attention. It is hoped that he will reply when the Illinois Senator bas coucluded, The speech of Douglas is apparently received by all sides with great favor—even the ladies suspending the flattering of their fans, lest that might prevent their bearing. Itisa triumph such as has seldom been witnessed in the Senate; and when he takes his seat there isalong deep sigh all through the Chamber, as if those present had been afraid to breathe deeply while the address was in progress, Jas. Gorpon Bennett, Jn.—The New York correspondent of the Mobile Megister, speaking of the New York Herald, thus alludes to Bennett’s son. The writer is mistaken io regard to young Bennett's age. He ia not yet twenty. Young Bennett is now the principal assistant editor to his father. Fora long time young Bennett gave no token of editorial talent, but all that bas changed. He bas been for 4 year atthe editerial roomsevery day, (when in town) and either wrote or dictated the principal editorials, He bas more talent than bis father, though not the experienee. There is no person in the United States that has received such an education ag young Bennett. He has spent yearsin France, Germany, Italy and Spain, He was at school in all these countries; consequently he speaks, writes, and reads all those languages with the correctness of a native. When heis 21 (afew days hence) bis father intends to change the heading of the Herald so as to have it read, “James G. Bennett & Son, Editors and Proprietors.” When the eld geatleman dies, then the heading will be changed back to the single James Gordon Bennett, as the son bas the same name as the father. A Traveter Enterrawsen.—Mr. Cyrus W. Field, of New York, gave an entertainment recently, says an eastern paper, to M. Du Chailiu, the traveler into Africa, About one hundred persons were present, Several specimens of Gorilla skulls were exhibited during the eyening. It waa an interesting conversazione.

We hear ef nothing more being said or. about the mammoth anti-Mongolian F a which was sent to the Legislature by the zens of San Francisco, This is a matter of incalculable, importanoe not only to te the basi+ ness men who are in San San Francisco, bst also to the welfare of the entire State for all time to come, We have already bad sufficient evidence of the danger of ive delay in regard to this. important q “Mob: violence and lawless outbreaks have vations. mining localities ; labor bas been debased and honest Iuaounry st oar to '; crime and drunkenness, and insanity, Saichde Marte cast their balefu! shadows over society, all on account of these labor-debasing Asiatics, — Everybody admits this; every thinking citizen knows and feels that these evils are attribé atable to the presence of the. Chinese us, and yet we sit supinely watching the ra ly increasing trouble without doing any to.aver@it, We all know and feel that if something is not done to check this overwhelming Mongolian floed which is constantly pouring in upon us, that inevitable ruin awaits us iu the fature, and yet like a lot of horses in a burning barn. we stand patiently gazing at the blaz which is to censame us. We who live in these quiet valleys, far removed from the evilsof which we are now writing, may be excused from not feeling alarmed about the inflox of Chinese population ; but to the great toiling majority of our people, who are dependent entirely upon the labor of their hands for their daily bread, it isa question of momentous importance. Already many hundreds of our laboring white citizens are an ta procure employment which will yield a saffl; cient compensation to keep them from beggary. Despair, and its dreadful resalte—insanity, crime and euicide, are doing their. dreadful work upon vs, and there is no alleviation, no remedy, simply because the Chinese have monopolized and debased labor, This state of things is cven now dreadful beyond’ computation, and still the black hordes are permitted to ewarm in upon us in inereasing thousands. The natural query is—where will all this trouble end? What will be the reeult of this iw twenty years from the present, if nothing is, done to check this pestilential swarm? Are we to sit patiently here ‘and see our State ruined and debased without attempting to do anything in our own defense? Men may speak lightly of this matter, and console themselves. with the idea that they are of a superior race, and are therefore, in no danger from the proximity of the Asiatics, but there is more truth than peetry in the old sew: “tte mingle with dogs ye may expect to get flen”? A distinguished traveler say that the policy of China which has hitherto excluded foreign nations from theircountry, has been of real benefit to the white race, for the Chinese have shades of sogial vices darker than anything ever dreamed of by the most debased of white men, The same writer says that even the touch of these human brutes is contamination. This kind of abomination which our law makers are permitting to flood the country, These are the pagan beasts which are to be foroed into the presence of our families, Weare notto have them in amall detachments either, but by whole colonies, There are many millions of them yet to come, and come they will, unless we do something to prevent thom.—San Jose Reporter, Rartroap Bripexrs.—The Victoria Bridge, across the St. Lawrence river at Montreal, is the largest inthe world, It consists of ten wrought-iron tubes, each 10,248 feet long, reating (besides the abutments) on twenly-four piers, It is 60 feet above the water and has cost about $8,000,000, ‘ The Illinois Central bridge at Lasalle, is abont three quarters of a mile in length, and over seventy feet high.

Mrs. C, bade him go away. He finally broke the door open and rushed upon ber with adrawn knife.

An investigation was going onin Washiogton, at last accounts, in regard to the publie priuting, A dispatch, dated Feb. 4th, says: Wendell has been examined for three hours upon the priuting investigation, It appeared that:seven or eight were interested in the print ing—Steadman, Banks, McLeeo, Walker, Rice, Severus and Bowman. He stated he bad paid out for the paet three years over one hundred thousand dollars for party support to newspapers—in aid of election expenses in Pennsylvania, principe: but extending over New York Maryland, Ohio, etc, Considerable had been paid by official authority, and some by bis own free will, He also stated that by the action of the Seuate, in electing Bowman, who had giv"en the work to Biair & Rives, he had been left aniless, with the largest establishment in the Jnion lying idle. Bowman’s conduct toward Wendell was shown upio avery bad light. Bewmas, it appears, bas given part of the work to Jewett, the editor of the Fillmore organ at Buffalo. A. N. Banks and J. O, Severns were also examined, They did not seem to know much, + i that they received some aid from Wenell. Wendell testified that out of the Post office blank printing he paid, in 187, the sum of $6,000 to the Pennsylvania newspaper of Philadelphia ; and to the Evening Argus, of Philadeiphia, the sum of $5,000. He informed the . Committee they went into doubifal Democratic districts in Pennsylvania, and epent money freely for the benefit of the supporters of the policy of the Administration. Rice, ofthe Pennsylvanian, was also before the Committee, and did not discredit the testimony of Wendell, MARYLAND AND THE Unton.—The resolutions of the South Carolina Legislature, proposing a eoovention of the Southern States, for the purpose inaugurating a disunion movement, were read lately before the Legislature of Maryland, The leading men of both parties denouneed them asa proposition for national treason, There was quite a strong vote to lay them on the table, without reading them, and they would have been so disposed ef, but for the plea of respect toa sovereign State. Gov. Hicks, ina letter to the Governor of South Carolina, informs the latter that Maryland cannot see any relief, but only injury, in the establishment on her borders of a foreign asylum for her fugitive slaves. Tus Lawrence Catamity.—The Coroner's jury, in the case of the Pemberton Mills disaster, have rendered a verdict, in whieh they declare their belief that the owners, at the time of the fall of the building bad no reason to dite trust its security. They find the direct cause of the fall to have been the weakness of the east iron columns, the thinness of the brick walls, the manner of construction, and the length of span from one support to another, The responsibility of the defective iron work rests on Albert Fuller; and from defeets of construction and insufficient tests on Chas. L. Bigelow, the architect and superintendent, whom the jury find responsible for the death of the buman beings Jost. Coxvicrgp or Hienway Ronpery.—Marco . Marino, who claims to be an Austrian, but is . supposed to be a Greek, was tried before the .

IncenprarisM.—A two-story frame building, situated on the corner of Fifth and P streets, . Sacramento, was set on fire about three o’clock, last Wednesday morning, and together with its . eontents was entirely consumed, The building belonged to Mr. M. Keating, who occupied it as . a grocery store, The total loss was about . $3,000. Two watch dogs belonging to Mr. . Keating have recently been poisoned, from . which it is inferred that this incendiary attempt bad been regularly concocted and carried out, AN action in the nature of @ quo warranto has been instituted by the Attorney General, in the Sacramento District Court, against Wm. R. The object of this action is to test the right of Judge Turner to hold said office—it being alleged that he was not eligible at the time of his election, by . reason of holding an office under the United States, viz: the office of Inspector of Customs at Trinidad. The case will doubtless go to the Supreme Court. Tue Secretary of the Interior has applied to the Sac and Fox Indians for «full Indian wardress, to be presented through the French Minister, to Louis Napoleon. The tribe bas most generously responded with a splendid equipment ; sealp-knife, tomahawk, peace-pipe, and various other articles of savage warfare. No expense has been epared by way of ornament and decoration. A Vateaste Mine.—A dispatch from San Franciseo, of Feb. 29th, says that a one ninetysixth interest in the Ophir ‘Co’s. claim on the Comstock silver lead, had sold in that city for $10,000 in cash. At this rate, the market value of the claims would be within a fraetion of a million of dollars. Leo Broxen.—Mr, W. B.

Mr. J. A. Lord, the express messenger of Wells, Fargo & Co., furnishes the following particulars of the butchery: Between three and four o’clock on Sunday morning ome February) an attack was made by a of white men, wi the Indians at several villages around Humboldt Bay. At Indian Island, opposite the town of Eureka, and distant but a few hundred ards, more than forty Indians were killed, threeourths of the number being women antl children. On the beach, south of the entrance to the bay, fort or fifty Indians were also killed, Re says all that were there—every one—were killed. It is also reported, and is no doubt true, that a simultaneous attack was was made upon the villages on Eel river. From what was known at Eureka, not less than two hundred Indians—men, women and children— were killed on this Sabbath morning. It is believed that the farmers and graziers of Eel river eountry, who have suffered from Indian depredations, during the past year, were the men #4 performed the deed. The cause assigned is that the coast Indians furnished arms and ammunition to those in the mountains, and gave them asylum, when hard pressed by the voluuteers. They have been seen to take large quantities of beef from the mountains to their houses nearer the settlements. Most of the people at Eureka and vicinity were bitter in their denunciation of this wholesale butchery. Snootinc APratR—On Tuesday night, Feb. 2ist, aman named Joseph Connor was killed at Yorktown, Tuolmne county, under the following circumstances, as related by the Sonora Democrat: A lot of Chinamen, who are camping near the residence of Judge Brunton, were aroused from their slumbers and thrown into consternation by an attack from a party of white men, who commenced tearing down their shanties, and beating such of the Celestials as fell into their hands, There were a number of shots fired—some by the Chinamen, and some by the whites. The son of Judge Brunton and a young man named John Morris, who were sleeping in a house near the cabins of the Chinese, hearing the disturbance, got up, and hearing the white men, as they say, speak of attacking Judge Brunton’s house, discharged a rifle in the direction of the party three times. The assailants then left, and packed the body of Connor, who was mortally wounded by a large sized ball, to Poverty Hill, where he died in about four or five hours. There are some doubts entertained whether he was killed by the discharge of the rifle of young Brunton, or by a shot fired by the Chinamen. If he was killed by the discharge of the rifle of Brunton it was a chance shot, as the night was too dark to sce the parties. Brunton and Morris came to Sonora the next morning, and gave themselves up to the authorities. : REPUBLICANS IN DisGuisr.—The Shasta Courier, speaking of J. C. Hinkley, late a “sound and reliable” Lecompton Democrat, now a Republican, says: This gentleman was editor of the Shasta Republican before it adopted the name Herald. The Republican, as will be remembered, was a violent supporter of Mr. Buchanan’s Kansas policy, and pronounced unsound the Democracy of the Courier, and of all who did not approve the Lecompton Constitution. Indeed, no paper in California was more bitter in its denunciations of Douglas, for his opposition to the Lecompton Constitution, than the Republican. There. are other Republicans in our gery in this county, in the disguise of Democrats, Ye have known the fact for years. They will show the cloven foot when they get a little more earnest and sufficiently brave. And yet, strange to say, without exception, they have been warm supporters of the Lecompton Constitution, and have been pare ticularly hostile towards the Courier because it did not see fit to damn Douglas, ‘The sooner the party is rid of such material, the better. AN Inctpent.—The following singular circumstance, connected with the wreck of the Northerner, is one of those strange episodes of real life which seem to border on the realms of fiction. A gentleman and his wife, of Oregon, were returning from San Francisco with the dead body of their child, which they were taking home for interment. When the unfortunate aecident occurred, the wife was saved with other ladies, who were taken ashore in the first boat, but the husband perished. ‘The body of the little one, whose death had thus indirectly led to the loss of its unhappy parent, sank ‘unknelled” into the depths of that mighty cemetery whose rest is bounded by eternity. Here, too, in death united, . jury found a verdict of guilty, and he was to! fut) fathom five its father lies.” The feclings of that childless mother, widowed by the recoil of the first cruel blow, may be easily imagined. But, again, a singular event occurred, forming the last link in The widow lost everything; but, on the morning after the wreck, a phosogrers of her husband, unharmed and uninjured, was washed ashore by the relenting element, that, in its first blind fury, had engulfed the living andthe dead.— Northern Californian. Tue Wasnor Mines.—The Territorial Enterprise, of Feb, 25th, has the following: Claims upon all the leads have advanced considerably the past week. ‘The appearance among us of capitalists from California, representing an almost unlimited amount of capital, has had the effect to enhance the value of all claims that are supposed to be good. Quite a number of sales have been made at very fair prices. There is a report that Maldanada had sold his interest in the Mexican claim for $125,000, but we are not fully advised The claim is well worth the price spoken of, Several sales were made in the Coppers & Mills claim, near Gold Hill, for a wretty high figure. It was reported that silver ore Rad been found in that claim, A new lead just over the divide to American Flat has been struck, called the Arizona lead, which promises to be rich. A Goop Worken.—The Rev, A. C. Edmunds, editor of the Star of the Pacific, (Universalist,) says that in the last four ype he has traveled 850 miles by stage; 2,700 by water; on horse back 2,300, and on foot 5,700; has preached 314 sermons, and delivered 27 lectures; married seven couples; circulated 36,000 copies of the Star; published 5,000 sermons and 600 pamphlets, besides distributing a large number of books and tracts, Tae Wrattn or CaLrrorntA-—The total assessed valuation of this State isa fraction over $131,000,000. Nearly all of this property has been created since 1848. ‘The total amount of gold carried out of the State, as appears by the Custom House books, and eatimated as outgoing in private hands, is not far from $650,000,000. The true amount is more likely to exceed than fall short of these figures. Lucky Escare.—On Sunday evening, a little boy three years old, son of Thomas King, fell from the pried? ove of the residence of his father in San Francisco, a distance of about eighteen or twenty feet, landing on the sidewalk. He was picked up senseless by his father, but on recovering and being examined it was found that he had sustained no serious injury. Conspmmacy 1N SONORA.—<A conspiracy was lately formed at Hermosillo, Sonora, to assassinate Gov. Pesqueria upon his retuen from Guaymas. A foreigner in the secret, informed the Governor, who caused to be arrested several of the most prominent citizens. Movine Norru.—The Los Angeles Star says that many of the residents of San Bernardino county are intending to remove, this spring, to the upper country. They are —— from Texas who settled there within past year or two. Ricn Quvuanrtz.—A few days since, at Yreka, sixty dollars worth of gold were crushad from five and a half pounds of rock taken from the Ish quartz lead, near Jacksonville, southern Oregon. AccORDING to the Gleaner, the total amount of contributions made in California, for the relief of the Jews at Gibraltar, is about $4,600. The Humboldt Times says that abound jn great abundanee in the Humboldt Bay waters, SENA' DOUGLAS. The Washington . spondent of the New York Times thus sketches Senator Douglas, as he ‘pears on the floor of the Senate : Every Senator is in his seat, exeept the orator of the day. The floor outside the bar is crowded with Con and diplomatiste, Governors, ex-Governors, delegates to Charleston, and representative men of all political shades, sizes, sections, positions and degrees. The fans in the galleries keep up a busy . fluttering, and the hum of conversation from the floor completely drown the routine business, which the Clerk of the Senate is atttempting to transact. At length there is a commotion round the central r of the Chamber ; all the leries rise with one consent to see the com-~og man; the Congressmen and outsidere crowd back, forming a human avenue, and the Little Giant enters, leading his two boys by the band, It is not decorum to applaud, but a loud bezz of welcome from every quarter causes Bright, Slidell, Bigler, and the others of that clique, to cast threatening glances, first upwards, and next towards the het gonatatArse. Dou enters the cloak-room under the gallery, and at the appointed moment rises in bis eeat and begins to speak. The Little Giant, as he has well been styled, isseen to advantage on the floor. Looking down upon him, his want of hight is not observed, while the easy dignity of his mauner stamps him asthe natural Lord of any scene through whieh he moves. Short, thickset, and built with great muscularity of body, bis massive and leonine bead rivets undivided attention. It is a bead of the antique, with someting. the infinite in its expression of power; a head most difficult to describe—but one better worth description, ina phrenological aspect, than aoy other in the country, Douglas has a brain of unusual size, covered with heavy and lengthy masses of dark brown hair, rather inclined to curl, thickly sprinkled with silver, His forehead is bigh, open and splendidly developed, based on dark, shaggy eyebrows, and of enormous width, His eyes, large and deeply set, are of the darkest and most piercing blue. His nose is short, the eyebrows lapping down over it where it joins the forehead ; while the nostrils—-broad, muscular and full of power, are framed in two deeply cut channels, which slope down and offon either side, until they strike the corners of the mouth. The month itself is full, strong and finely arched, but with something of bitter and sad experience ip its general expression, The chin is square and Vigorous, and, together with the lower part of the face, is full of eddyiog dimples—the muscles and nerves showing great mobility, and every thought having some external reflection in the sensitive and expressive features, Add to these a rich brown complexion, very clear and healthful ; shaved cheeks ; a handsome and massive throat ; small white cars, almost hidden under the tangle of browngray bair ; eyes which ray out electric vivacity whenever the eye-brows are lifted ; small white hands ; small feet ; a full chest and broad shoulders ; a@ prominent aod fall ander lip, which in repose is frequently lappedfover thegupper eae —and with these points daly blended together, you will have a picture of the Little Giant as good as can be given under the hurry and excitement of this letter, As a speaker, Douglas scems to disdain ornament, and marches right on against the body of his subject with irresistible power and directuess. His rhetorical assault has nothing ef the cavalry slash in its impressiveness, rather resembling a charge of heavy infantry with fixed bayonet, and calling forcibly to mind the attack of those “six thousand English veterans” immortalized by Thomas Davis: “Steady they step adown the slo testy they climb the ML Steady they load—steady they fire— Marching right onward still.” His voice is a rich and mus cal baritone, rather monotonous in its passages of statemeut, but swelling into occasional clarion blasts towards the close of each important period, Me is heard with breathless attention, except when, now and again, the galleries feel tempted to applaud— these demonstrations appearing to give particular uneasiness to the Administration, Secesrion and Republican Senators, and drawing dewn upon us, once or twice, threats that “the valleries shall be cleared if these unseemly diaturbances are repeated,’’ Just in the middle of his speech, the Congrosemen upon the floor—about one hnudred and fifty—received notice vbata vote was about to be taken in the House; and this at once produced a stampede which caused Douglus to suspend for the space of a few minutes, As fast as they had answered their names they returned—-the B’s coming first, the O's follow. ing. and so on through the reet of the alphabet. Seward, against whom a great part of the Little Giant's speech is directed, sits uneasily in his chair, stroking his long face with his hand, smiling, and appearing to pay close attention. It is hoped that he will reply when the Illinois Senator bas coucluded, The speech of Douglas is apparently received by all sides with great favor—even the ladies suspending the flattering of their fans, lest that might prevent their bearing. Itisa triumph such as has seldom been witnessed in the Senate; and when he takes his seat there isalong deep sigh all through the Chamber, as if those present had been afraid to breathe deeply while the address was in progress, Jas. Gorpon Bennett, Jn.—The New York correspondent of the Mobile Megister, speaking of the New York Herald, thus alludes to Bennett’s son. The writer is mistaken io regard to young Bennett's age. He ia not yet twenty. Young Bennett is now the principal assistant editor to his father. Fora long time young Bennett gave no token of editorial talent, but all that bas changed. He bas been for 4 year atthe editerial roomsevery day, (when in town) and either wrote or dictated the principal editorials, He bas more talent than bis father, though not the experienee. There is no person in the United States that has received such an education ag young Bennett. He has spent yearsin France, Germany, Italy and Spain, He was at school in all these countries; consequently he speaks, writes, and reads all those languages with the correctness of a native. When heis 21 (afew days hence) bis father intends to change the heading of the Herald so as to have it read, “James G. Bennett & Son, Editors and Proprietors.” When the eld geatleman dies, then the heading will be changed back to the single James Gordon Bennett, as the son bas the same name as the father.

WHERE WILL IT END? We hear ef nothing more being said or. about the mammoth anti-Mongolian F a which was sent to the Legislature by the zens of San Francisco, This is a matter of incalculable, importanoe not only to te the basi+ ness men who are in San San Francisco, bst also to the welfare of the entire State for all time to come, We have already bad sufficient evidence of the danger of ive delay in regard to this. important q “Mob: violence and lawless outbreaks have vations. mining localities ; labor bas been debased and honest Iuaounry st oar to '; crime and drunkenness, and insanity, Saichde Marte cast their balefu! shadows over society, all on account of these labor-debasing Asiatics, — Everybody admits this; every thinking citizen knows and feels that these evils are attribé atable to the presence of the. Chinese us, and yet we sit supinely watching the ra ly increasing trouble without doing any to.aver@it, We all know and feel that if something is not done to check this overwhelming Mongolian floed which is constantly pouring in upon us, that inevitable ruin awaits us iu the fature, and yet like a lot of horses in a burning barn. we stand patiently gazing at the blaz which is to censame us. We who live in these quiet valleys, far removed from the evilsof which we are now writing, may be excused from not feeling alarmed about the inflox of Chinese population ; but to the great toiling majority of our people, who are dependent entirely upon the labor of their hands for their daily bread, it isa question of momentous importance. Already many hundreds of our laboring white citizens are an ta procure employment which will yield a saffl; cient compensation to keep them from beggary. Despair, and its dreadful resalte—insanity, crime and euicide, are doing their. dreadful work upon vs, and there is no alleviation, no remedy, simply because the Chinese have monopolized and debased labor, This state of things is cven now dreadful beyond’ computation, and still the black hordes are permitted to ewarm in upon us in inereasing thousands. The natural query is—where will all this trouble end? What will be the reeult of this iw twenty years from the present, if nothing is, done to check this pestilential swarm? Are we to sit patiently here ‘and see our State ruined and debased without attempting to do anything in our own defense? Men may speak lightly of this matter, and console themselves. with the idea that they are of a superior race, and are therefore, in no danger from the proximity of the Asiatics, but there is more truth than peetry in the old sew: “tte mingle with dogs ye may expect to get flen”? A distinguished traveler say that the policy of China which has hitherto excluded foreign nations from theircountry, has been of real benefit to the white race, for the Chinese have shades of sogial vices darker than anything ever dreamed of by the most debased of white men, The same writer says that even the touch of these human brutes is contamination. This kind of abomination which our law makers are permitting to flood the country, These are the pagan beasts which are to be foroed into the presence of our families, Weare notto have them in amall detachments either, but by whole colonies, There are many millions of them yet to come, and come they will, unless we do something to prevent thom.—San Jose Reporter, Rartroap Bripexrs.—The Victoria Bridge, across the St. Lawrence river at Montreal, is the largest inthe world, It consists of ten wrought-iron tubes, each 10,248 feet long, reating (besides the abutments) on twenly-four piers, It is 60 feet above the water and has cost about $8,000,000, ‘ The Illinois Central bridge at Lasalle, is abont three quarters of a mile in length, and over seventy feet high.

She fired two shots with a re. volver to frighten him, and finding that there was no other alternative, fired again, and shot him through the head. An examination was held and she was acquitted of all blame in the matter, Tue Lanecaar ov Lapiss.—Plain’’ is the strongest word in the feminine vocabulary tu express ijl looks.
