Fata AFFRaY IN Visatia,—On Sunday evening, 17th Febroary, a terrible and fatal fight occurred ov Main street, Visalia, between Robert Pepard and Millburn, both well known and bitherto peaceable citizens, who have been for some time in the employ of Messrs, Thomas & Roberts as mitlere, The parties, eays the Visatia Del ta, appear to have been by themselves at the time of the collision, and the night being quite dark, the first thing which attrac ted attention was the rapid discharge of three pistol shote, When other pa: ties reached the scene, the combatants were atill struggling with each other, and were promptly separated. On examination, it was found thet Millburn had been shot in the abdomen, a little to the right of t.ena val besides several fearful wounds ov the face aud bead, apparently the result of blows with a pistol—of which he soon died, Pepard was also terribly cut and broived about the bead, though none of the wounds was considered dangerous, The physicians pronounced these wounds to have resulted from ten or twelve beavy blows with a slung-shot, Milllurn was intoxicated, and had stated repeatedly during the afternoon that he war going to eettle whether be or Bob (Pepard) was the best man. Tuk Fort Yuma Romor.—Tbe Los Angelee News, of Feb. 26th, has the following, relative to the reported attack on Fort Yama; Rumors, Now-a days, fy thick and fast. One wae current bere last week, to the effect thata large force, nambering from eight bandred to one thourand rebels, had appeared belore Fort Yuma, aud demanded the anconditional surrender of Showalter and party; that Col, West refused to surrender, and therenpon a fight took place and was covtiouing when the “responsible” left the scene. The express rider from Fort Yuma arrived in town on Sunday vight laet, but we cannot learn that any snch warlike news was brought by him, or any confirmation of the above, Still, dispatcher could be sent to headquarters from the Fort, and nobody be any the wiser in regard tothe information contaived in them, But we look upon the whole thing as a canard, got up for the benefit of the quid nanes, It is probable that there is a body of rebele in Arizona, and they may be advancing, but we think the government officere would porsers sufficient information concerning their movements long before they could reach Fort Yuma, Britisu Cotumpia.—The Victoria Colonisis, of February, 21st, says. The gunboat Grappler, with Ballon’s exprers and a small amount of treasure, arrived from Port Moody (Burrard’s fnlet) on Weduerday night. Fraser River is rtili blockaded with ice. and the weather continnes very cold There is neither rice oor flonr at Yale and Hope; there is, however, sufficient four in the bands of residents to last for a fortngbht. Nothing reliable is heard from the Thompson River country, where hundreds of animals are being wintered; but from Sumas Prairie the accounts are very gloomy. Horses and mules are dying there by scores, and Indiaur eat the carcessesr, At Fort Colville everything is frozen upor snowed in, Pack animals are dying rapidly. The Boundary Commiesion atimals that may be alive by the end of March will then be sold at auction. There is neither flour, sugar, tea, coffee, nor tobacco at Colville, and the settlers subsist on beef, potatoes and peas. At New Westminister, Hope, Yale, Douglas, and other towns, the river remains closed, and there are no signs of a break-up. From Cayoosh we learn that the weather is quite as bad as at any previous time this year, Marixx Disasten.—At dark, last evening. a wood scow owned by a Spa niard,and manned by four persons, attempted to shoot ander the bridge at the side east of the draw. Striking one of the abutments, the scow at first began to sink when the crew rought to save their livese—two jumping to the pier, and two takiog the emall boat. In a few minutes after the collision, the scow turned bottom upwards, setting afloat upwarde of sixty cords of wood, and great. ly endangering the safety of several some of money which were in the cabin. One man had two handred dollars, another thirty dollars, and the rest of the crew emailer sums. In reversed position, the scow floated down the river till a boat put off from the sbore and making a line fast to her, she was drawn to the bank near the foot of Q street. The wood being worth at least eight dollars per cord, the cost of this catastrophe cannot be less than eight handred or # thousand dollars.—[Sa¢, Bee, 5th inet. Tue Vermont Supreme Court has decided that echoolmasters bave no right to punish their scholars for offences committed out of schoo] aad echoo! hours, SiveR Mines.— A report was‘corrent i: Moutery a few days since, that a party of miners had discovered the place where the Indians of olden time got their silver from. The discovery is raid tu be on the Tulare Citias rancho, atthe head of the Garme! river eighteen miles from Monterey. Tradition bas it that the Mission Indiaus of former daye were in the bubit of bringing Into town and selling to the merchants small silver bare, but no one was able to tind where itcame from, The tradition is generally believed, and bas heretofore been the means of inducing a great many persous to proe pect in the San Lucia and Carmel mouutain ranges, but all without success or as they say in Washoe, an “indication.” The discoverers have recorded their claim, and sent a bot of the ore to San Francisco for aseav. We heard semebody say it yielded $1,700 tu the ton, which we hope may be true, for the owner’s sake, but we don’t believe it, Should the discovery prove val uable we shall post cor readets early, Avolber prospecting party from Santa Cruz were caught in the mountains by the storm and after much trouble succeeded in Making their way out, They will make anotter at-. tempt as coon as the weather will permit. They think they are ow the bigh road tu wealth.— [Monterey Seatinel, REMINISCENCE OF 4 CoLoreD NoraBie.—Quite a brick little scrimmage between o white man and a descendant of Ham. took place yesterday evening ov Yates street. Archer Lee, whose arrest aga fugitive slave from Mississippi created a great excitement in San Francisco about four years and a halfapo, was passing Gilmore’s clothing store, when somebody threw a snowbal! which bit him in the head, Archie turned, and seeing a white man standing near, naturally supposed him to be the propeller of the missile, and eo, quick as the flash from a streak of greased lightning, brought bim a sounder on the chia, which made the recipient sping The white retaliated with interest on Archie’s sconce, and a lively stand off tight was the consequence, The ecrimmage lasted three minutes, by a stop wateh at the end of which time Archie, with etreaming proboscis drew off to repair damages, His antagonist’s injuries were inconsiderable. A crowd of about 100 persons gathered, but no arrests were made,—[Victoria Colonist, Swati Pox m New Yors.—Smu!l pox wae rifein New York a month ago. DrJaynes, at a recent meeting of the Board of Health Commissioners made a report which contained the following: I would respectfully eaggest that some additional legislation be had upon this eubject, making it compulsory apon every individual who has not had the small pox, to be vaccinated and re-vacinated every seven years, and that er shall retain a certifieate of the same, with proper date and vouchers; also to make it obligatory upon the physician at Quarantine to vaccinate every emigrant who has no; had the disease, or who cannot present the requisite certifi. cate of vaccination within seven years o/ the date of their arrival in this country, and make the necereary charge for the same upoo the emigrant,’’ ee Missourr Senator.—Jobn B, Henderson, the lately appointed U. 8S. Senator for Missouri, and Brigadier General of the Missouri volunteers, is a Kentuckian by birth, but brought up in Missouri. In 1848 he was with the Calboun faction in opposition to Benton and the Democracy; was a friend te Jas. 8. Green, Carty Wells, and Claib, Jack eon, and sustained the resolutions of tf. Missouri Legislature, that pledged Missouri to go with her sister States of the South in whatever steps they should see proper to take in reference to the question of abolition. The Senatorial office basa tendency downward—trom Benton to Green, from Green to Henderson. Tosacco.—The Looisville Journal declares the manufacture of tobacco will be virtually lost to the Confederate States if their ingane rebellion is not y crashed. Six new firms are eogeged in maoufacturig the article already in Pittsburg, aod they draw their supplies from the valley of the Ohio. This will stimalate still more the . Louisville market, and lead to the establishment of other factories in Northern cities, Deata ovr 4 Cuinvam Missionany.—A rivate letter from Shanghea, China, dated ovember oa ge the fotell > oh the death of Dr. Bridgman, the wel) known Missionary, on the 27th of the preceediny month, .
