Massacre sy Inpians on Carson RIVER.— Dispatches from Carson City state that a horrid massacre was perpetrated by Indiaus, near the great bend of Carson river, on the night of May 7th. Mr. J, Wilhams arrived at Buckland’s station, near the bend, and gave information of the murder of his two brothers, and five other men at the same time, and the buraing of their house. On bis way op, Mr. Williims balled at two other houses, on the oppo. site side of the river; the doors were open, bat loud calling, thongh at a short distance, failed to induce any signs of life about the premises, He supposes the occupants, twelve or thirteen in all, to have been murdered. The Indians pursued Mr. Williams to within six miles of Buckland’s, and gave up the chase. The murders were perpetrated by a band of about 150 Pabutes, who were reinforced by some 300 more. They are under the command of Captain Ham, a notorious rascal. The news of the massacre created great excitement througheut the settlements of western Utah; a company was immediately dispatched from Virginia City to proteet Buckland’s station, which it was feared would be attacked, and other companies were organized at Carson City and Genoa to protect Ou the morning of the telligence that the Indians had fortified themselves at Ragtown, and threatened to make a The women and childreo had all left the river and gone to Silver City, which place bad been fortified. ee . .

The three highwaymen were armed each with . a double barrelled shot guy and bad pistols on either side, After stopping the elage they took off the horses. At this time a traveler on horseback behind the stage was also estopped. Two of the robbers covered the driver and passen. gers with their shot guns, while the third pro. ceeded to break open the express boxes, They . bad with them au axe and crew bar. It was } with some difficulty they succeeded in breaking open the boxes, The letters were examined very cooly and replaced. After securing the money ia the boxes, the passengers were called upon to disburse, Mr. Hitchcoek upon being . invited, threw down ten dollars, saying they . might bave it, but it was money he had borrowed, The robbers said if that was the case jhe might keepit.

The machinery for that purpose is now being constructed, and is thus deIt is of very ponderous character, and will wei some thanennde of pounds, The ballin which the grand creation is to be effected, if the experiment is successful, is.ef solid iron, three feet in diameter, and weighs 4,500 gounds. Two holes, some six inches in diameter, are bored through, crossing each other at right angles. A female screw is cut in the part which surrounds the holes nearly down to the center, and plugs of iron, with the male screw, fill the holes, but not entirely to the center. At the center is a cavity, where the precious material is to be placed. Not being a very profound bes Ba. we may not tho ly understand the principle upon which the experiment is to be tried, but Neve+it is something like this; “Carbon,” says Webster, “is an elementary, combustible substance, existing pure and crystalized in the diamond, and sometimes in graphite, and forming the basis of animal and vegetable charcoal, und of coke. By means of a galvanic apparatus, it is found to be capable of fasion.” Yn speaking of carbonic acid, the same author says; ‘It exists, under ordinary circumstances, when uncombined, in the state of as, but has been liquifted by very powerful pressure. % was formerly called ‘fixed air,’ ‘mephitic gas,’ ete.” It is heavier than common air, and subsides . into low places, wells and vaults. If we are not mistaken, the gentlemen managing this experiment . have already been successful in Deore, eaten to a fluid, and it has also been compressed by them in a leaden ball, in this city, sufficient to create a stone so hard that no jeweler could cut it, and which has been sent to Paris for inspection. The additional power given by the machinery above mentioned, it is ho by the owners, will afford sufficient comi yoga to erystalize the fluid, and a diamond worth alfa million may be the result. The power from the gulvanic battery isto be applied by means of a copper wire conducted to the cavity in the center of the ball. The machinery will cost about $3,000, and it is expected that the grand experiment will be tried in about thirty days. Whether the proprictors reap a princely reward or not, the operation will be a great benefit to science. Senator Dovenas.—The Napa Reporter, of the 5th inst., in an article upon the Presidential nomination, says: The friends of Mr. Douglas are quite sanguine that he has received the nomination, and indeed, the late news from the East is very favorable. We sincerely hope their anticipations may be fulfilled, but must own that we have great fears of his defeat, The truth is that Mr, Douglas has taken strong positions and defended them manfully and consistently for the last twelve years. The very fierceness of the conflict which has made him great, has also made him many enemies. There is no non-committalism in the man, Like Clay or Webster, he has strongly maintained his opinions and proclaimed them to the world, Neither Clay nor Webster could win the Presidency for this reason, and Mr. Douglas may fail from the same cause. He never made a friend or avoided an enemy by shirking an issue; but has ever helda position of bold, outspoken independence—nay, almost of defiance, The result is that in his own party, especially among the smaller fry of politicians, he has made many enemies, But more than all; he has arrayed against him for the last three years the gigantic power of the Federal Administration. Every means within the reach of Mr. Buchanan has been brought to bear against Mr. Douglas, in all parts of the Union, and a large portion of the members of the Convention but represent the vindictive will of the Executive. While therefore, we believe that Mr. Douglas is not only the most meritorious, but actually the most popular man in the Union—were the question of his nomination left to the people—we shall not be surprised if it prove true that he has been defeated by the machinations of bis encmies in the Convention. Still we hope not, and shall cling to our hope till the arrival of the news sets the question at rest. Tur Wizanv'’s VALepicrory.—John Henry Anderson, who calls himself the Wizard of the North, left on the last steamer for New York, and published a valedictory to the Californians, in which he says, after gassing hugely through a quarter of a column: How much money I made in the trip I will net attempt to say, because those whose imaginations are contracted might think the amount to be fabulous, while those whose ideality is so vivid as to fancy that a Wizard must be a Croesus or a Midas, would possibly be angry at my taking too much money out of the country. Thanks to my patrons —thanks to Mr. Maguire, and thanks to the press— I am enabled to leave California in the Golden Gate te-day, and take with me the means of carrying out project of my life. That project is, to settle in the great city of New York; to build there an immense Museum and Theater; to make that the lixchange for professional artists—the entrepot of talent, to which I will have auxiliary establishments in England, Australia. and California, Acting in conjunction with Mr. Maguire, 1 shall be enabled to engage and send to this State a continuous stream of talent, selecting in the best market, from the largest stock, and organizing my resources 60 as always to be prepared in every city of the world with the requisire pabulum inthe way of amusement desiderated by the inhabitants of that or any other city. Mcerpenovs Arrack.—The San Andreas Independent says that a murderous attack was made on the night of April 27th, upon Mr. M. D. Atwater, keeper of the toll bridge across the Mokelumne river, at Big Bar. About eleven o'clock, three men on foot came to the gate (which is always closed at night) from the Cnlavenne side, and when opened by Mr. Atwater, just wide enough to pass, they . forced it wide open; one grappled him by the throat and two commenced beating him. He cried murder, and Mr. Kelton, who lives at the other end of the bridge, hearing the cry, ran to his assistance. On his approach the assassins ran away. Mr. Atwater received a number of frightful wounds on the head —the weapon used was probably a heavy pistol. Their object was to rob the safe, but they would have gained nothing, as no money had been kept at the bridge since the robbery committed there a short time before this attempt. INDIANS ON THE SovrHERN Rovuty,—On the 12th of April, eleven Catnanche Indians attacked the Mountain Passe station, on the Butterfield overland mail route, and murdered the station keeper, Wa. Lambshead, a boy named James Harvey, aged fifteen, and scalped a stranger, who Panceal b . some tem miles to another station and there died. The Indians also ran off a lot of cattle from the Mustang . station. The cause of their hostility is said to have grown out of the fact that a Mexican named Sardreal murdered one of their tribe some time previous, . "he Camanches are the most warlike of the Indian . tribes—are well mounted and well armed with excellent rifles, and are powerful in Northern Mexico . and all along the border from Texas to Sonora, TyrroGRrArPuicaL.— The Eureka Typographical Union, of San Francisco, at its meeting on the 6th inst., chose the following Officers for the ensuing . aix months: President, O.

Svurr Compromisep—tThe Sierra Citizen says that the important and expensive suit, Manhattan Company vs. Eureka and Excelsior Companies, at Wet Ravine, has been com by defendants paying plaintiffs 00, It is stated that $35,000 been expen in costs by each contestant. The attorneys, courts, and witnesses, get $70,000. It was time to compromise. At this rate, the plaintiffs lose $12,500. A Ninnop—The Napa Reporter says: “Mr, Wm. Harris, of Knight’s valley, has been very destructive upon the panthers in his neighborhood. Within ten days he has killed five, one of which weighed 125 pounds, and measured eight feet in. length. Be these, he has killed two wild cats.” . Interesting Incidents of the Revolution: The following touching passages are coutdined in the speech of Mr. Boteler, of Virginia, delivered in the House of Representatives dating the late contest for Speaker. The incidents narrated are full.of interest, and the language employed is the language of patriotism : The Los Angeles Star, fd ad brtidle on the Colorado Desert, from informatiod given by Mr, EB.

May this historical reminiscence rekindle the embers of patrioti#m in our hearts! Why should ths nation of ours be rent in pieees by the irrepressible conflict? Is it irrepressible ? The batile will not be fought out here. When the dark day comes, ascome it may, when this question that now divides and ayitates the hearts of the people can only be dec ded by the bloody arbitram nt of the sword, it will be the eaddest day for us and all maukiod that the wuo of Ileaven has ever shown upon. I trust, Mr. Clerk, that this discussion will now cease, I trust that all will make an effort, by ballotiog, and by @ suecession of ballotings, lo orgauize the House. I trust that we will go ou in our efforts, day after day, until we do effect au organization, and proceed to perform tbe duties which we were sent here to discharge; that the great heart of our country will evase to puleate with the anxiety which wew causes it to throb; and that we will each, in our own appropriate sphere, do what we can to make ourselves worthy of the inestimable blessings which can only be enjoyed by ao free aud enlightened people, Tue winst Inuabirrants or Swirzervanv.— Curious discoveries have recently been made, of various stone instruments aod othur relics of an ancient and unkvown people near the shores of several lakesin Switzerland and France. The Revue Archalogique, of Paris, which is published By the principal Archwologists of France and otber countries, aoticed the firat diseovers . ies in 1854-5, aud the Jauusry oumber of 1860 gives the results of later researches, with drawings of fifteen kivds of tools, weapons, &c., whichjhave bees touud by hundreds, They bave edges and points of stone with bandles of deer’s . horus and have been preserved by being cover. ed with waters and the deposit of earth. Re mains of piles and rough plank bave been dug out, in railroad excavations, which have led the beet arehwologist to the following conclusions, which we shall give with the utmost brevity : There was a people who inhabited at least that part of Europe, long before the historic period, who had no metal, and used stones, aud sometimes bones, for tools, oraaments, imple. mente, and weapone of varjous kinds, with . deer’s horn for handles to such as needed them, . lived io small communities, in at the westerly side of the Desert, near the foot of the Coast Mountains, He thinks that about 87,000 sheep and 7,000 bead of cattle came in by that route last season, Improving Nature. It is thought that the cave in El Dorado will be ready to be thrown open to visitors on Monday, May I4th; but of this, due notice will be given. Workmen are now engaged in draining the water out of the lake, and otherwise fitting it for the ree ception of guests.—Daily Bee, Wouder if it will be painted inside, and ornamooted with glass pendants? It will deubtless be thoroughly “renovated and refitted.” Old dame nature, the present presiding geuius of the pluce, should eertainly be turned out of doors. The lake should be drained, by all means! also all the rough cerners of the cave should be knocked off; they might tear the ladies dresses. It would be a good idea, too, to whitewash some of those columns, It is said that they begin to show age. The flowers around the entrance need not be removed, They are already almost as pretty as artificials! A litue digging up of the ground, and construc. tion of a few graveled walks to and’ from the cave, would be an improvement and give to the scene quite a civilized appearance, We heard of a wealthy man once, who had made a fortune by peddling, aud who greatly enbanced the beauty of a fine residence had purchased, by catting down an odious patural growth of tall hickory trees, and planting in their stead « “splendid lot’ as he termed it, of . imported locusts, They cost him a good deal . of inoney, aud added greatly to the value of his homestead, To use bis own language, “them locuses’”’ presented “a very picture sque appearance.” It is worth while for men to bave mon. ey, when they know so well how to use it, . Now a poor man woald ef course have been compelled to allow that blekory grove to stand, aud ‘them locuses’’ would never have adorned aud civilized the vlace. We have no doubt, that that eave in Ek! Dorado, by the expenditure of a few thousand dollars, can be made to look very “‘picture-sque,’’ indeed. Mr. Gwynn of this city, we believe, has an interest in the cave in question. Heisa man . of taste and cultivation, and we are pretty certain that th's ludiorous business of trying to improve nature ls none of bis work.—Marysville Democrat, A Dovnr anovr Bropgnicx’s Witt.—The New York Herald of April 8th, has the following curious piece of news: : “There isarumor that the will which has been published ag that of the late Senator Broderick of San l’raucisco, turns out not to be genuine. We have not beard that there has been any attempt made as yet te prove it before the Surrogate; but it is stated that when such athouses built on platforms of plank, resting on . #™pt is made, its validity will be disputed by piles, extending from the shores of lakes some . 70 2¢phews of the deceased, who have set up distance over the water, from whieh doubtless . their claim te the property, What purperts te they drew fish for their subsistence; but they had also a variety of other food.

More recent lake habitations (habitations lacustres) of the same kind have been found, where instruments of copper were mingled with those of etone; and there are indieations that the race which introduced the eopper (probabl Celts) conquered the origival inhabitants. It is remarked by M. F. Trayon, the author of the paper before us, that all the ancient copper found in Europe is alloyed and really bronze, while that of America is pure ; and that the period of iron succeeded that of stone.

Massacre sy Inpians on Carson RIVER.— Dispatches from Carson City state that a horrid massacre was perpetrated by Indiaus, near the great bend of Carson river, on the night of May 7th. Mr. J, Wilhams arrived at Buckland’s station, near the bend, and gave information of the murder of his two brothers, and five other men at the same time, and the buraing of their house. On bis way op, Mr. Williims balled at two other houses, on the oppo. site side of the river; the doors were open, bat loud calling, thongh at a short distance, failed to induce any signs of life about the premises, He supposes the occupants, twelve or thirteen in all, to have been murdered. The Indians pursued Mr. Williams to within six miles of Buckland’s, and gave up the chase. The murders were perpetrated by a band of about 150 Pabutes, who were reinforced by some 300 more. They are under the command of Captain Ham, a notorious rascal. The news of the massacre created great excitement througheut the settlements of western Utah; a company was immediately dispatched from Virginia City to proteet Buckland’s station, which it was feared would be attacked, and other companies were organized at Carson City and Genoa to protect Ou the morning of the telligence that the Indians had fortified themselves at Ragtown, and threatened to make a The women and childreo had all left the river and gone to Silver City, which place bad been fortified. ee . .

Two of the robbers covered the driver and passen. gers with their shot guns, while the third pro. ceeded to break open the express boxes, They . bad with them au axe and crew bar. It was } with some difficulty they succeeded in breaking open the boxes, The letters were examined very cooly and replaced. After securing the money ia the boxes, the passengers were called upon to disburse, Mr. Hitchcoek upon being . invited, threw down ten dollars, saying they . might bave it, but it was money he had borrowed, The robbers said if that was the case jhe might keepit.

The machinery for that purpose is now being constructed, and is thus deIt is of very ponderous character, and will wei some thanennde of pounds, The ballin which the grand creation is to be effected, if the experiment is successful, is.ef solid iron, three feet in diameter, and weighs 4,500 gounds. Two holes, some six inches in diameter, are bored through, crossing each other at right angles. A female screw is cut in the part which surrounds the holes nearly down to the center, and plugs of iron, with the male screw, fill the holes, but not entirely to the center. At the center is a cavity, where the precious material is to be placed. Not being a very profound bes Ba. we may not tho ly understand the principle upon which the experiment is to be tried, but Neve+it is something like this; “Carbon,” says Webster, “is an elementary, combustible substance, existing pure and crystalized in the diamond, and sometimes in graphite, and forming the basis of animal and vegetable charcoal, und of coke. By means of a galvanic apparatus, it is found to be capable of fasion.” Yn speaking of carbonic acid, the same author says; ‘It exists, under ordinary circumstances, when uncombined, in the state of as, but has been liquifted by very powerful pressure. % was formerly called ‘fixed air,’ ‘mephitic gas,’ ete.” It is heavier than common air, and subsides . into low places, wells and vaults. If we are not mistaken, the gentlemen managing this experiment . have already been successful in Deore, eaten to a fluid, and it has also been compressed by them in a leaden ball, in this city, sufficient to create a stone so hard that no jeweler could cut it, and which has been sent to Paris for inspection. The additional power given by the machinery above mentioned, it is ho by the owners, will afford sufficient comi yoga to erystalize the fluid, and a diamond worth alfa million may be the result. The power from the gulvanic battery isto be applied by means of a copper wire conducted to the cavity in the center of the ball. The machinery will cost about $3,000, and it is expected that the grand experiment will be tried in about thirty days. Whether the proprictors reap a princely reward or not, the operation will be a great benefit to science. Senator Dovenas.—The Napa Reporter, of the 5th inst., in an article upon the Presidential nomination, says: The friends of Mr. Douglas are quite sanguine that he has received the nomination, and indeed, the late news from the East is very favorable. We sincerely hope their anticipations may be fulfilled, but must own that we have great fears of his defeat, The truth is that Mr, Douglas has taken strong positions and defended them manfully and consistently for the last twelve years. The very fierceness of the conflict which has made him great, has also made him many enemies. There is no non-committalism in the man, Like Clay or Webster, he has strongly maintained his opinions and proclaimed them to the world, Neither Clay nor Webster could win the Presidency for this reason, and Mr. Douglas may fail from the same cause. He never made a friend or avoided an enemy by shirking an issue; but has ever helda position of bold, outspoken independence—nay, almost of defiance, The result is that in his own party, especially among the smaller fry of politicians, he has made many enemies, But more than all; he has arrayed against him for the last three years the gigantic power of the Federal Administration. Every means within the reach of Mr. Buchanan has been brought to bear against Mr. Douglas, in all parts of the Union, and a large portion of the members of the Convention but represent the vindictive will of the Executive. While therefore, we believe that Mr. Douglas is not only the most meritorious, but actually the most popular man in the Union—were the question of his nomination left to the people—we shall not be surprised if it prove true that he has been defeated by the machinations of bis encmies in the Convention. Still we hope not, and shall cling to our hope till the arrival of the news sets the question at rest. Tur Wizanv'’s VALepicrory.—John Henry Anderson, who calls himself the Wizard of the North, left on the last steamer for New York, and published a valedictory to the Californians, in which he says, after gassing hugely through a quarter of a column: How much money I made in the trip I will net attempt to say, because those whose imaginations are contracted might think the amount to be fabulous, while those whose ideality is so vivid as to fancy that a Wizard must be a Croesus or a Midas, would possibly be angry at my taking too much money out of the country. Thanks to my patrons —thanks to Mr. Maguire, and thanks to the press— I am enabled to leave California in the Golden Gate te-day, and take with me the means of carrying out project of my life. That project is, to settle in the great city of New York; to build there an immense Museum and Theater; to make that the lixchange for professional artists—the entrepot of talent, to which I will have auxiliary establishments in England, Australia. and California, Acting in conjunction with Mr. Maguire, 1 shall be enabled to engage and send to this State a continuous stream of talent, selecting in the best market, from the largest stock, and organizing my resources 60 as always to be prepared in every city of the world with the requisire pabulum inthe way of amusement desiderated by the inhabitants of that or any other city. Mcerpenovs Arrack.—The San Andreas Independent says that a murderous attack was made on the night of April 27th, upon Mr. M. D. Atwater, keeper of the toll bridge across the Mokelumne river, at Big Bar. About eleven o'clock, three men on foot came to the gate (which is always closed at night) from the Cnlavenne side, and when opened by Mr. Atwater, just wide enough to pass, they . forced it wide open; one grappled him by the throat and two commenced beating him. He cried murder, and Mr. Kelton, who lives at the other end of the bridge, hearing the cry, ran to his assistance. On his approach the assassins ran away. Mr. Atwater received a number of frightful wounds on the head —the weapon used was probably a heavy pistol. Their object was to rob the safe, but they would have gained nothing, as no money had been kept at the bridge since the robbery committed there a short time before this attempt. INDIANS ON THE SovrHERN Rovuty,—On the 12th of April, eleven Catnanche Indians attacked the Mountain Passe station, on the Butterfield overland mail route, and murdered the station keeper, Wa.

Interesting Incidents of the Revolution: The following touching passages are coutdined in the speech of Mr. Boteler, of Virginia, delivered in the House of Representatives dating the late contest for Speaker.

May this historical reminiscence rekindle the embers of patrioti#m in our hearts! Why should ths nation of ours be rent in pieees by the irrepressible conflict? Is it irrepressible ? The batile will not be fought out here.

The Revue Archalogique, of Paris, which is published By the principal Archwologists of France and otber countries, aoticed the firat diseovers . ies in 1854-5, aud the Jauusry oumber of 1860 gives the results of later researches, with drawings of fifteen kivds of tools, weapons, &c., whichjhave bees touud by hundreds, They bave edges and points of stone with bandles of deer’s . horus and have been preserved by being cover. ed with waters and the deposit of earth. Re mains of piles and rough plank bave been dug out, in railroad excavations, which have led the beet arehwologist to the following conclusions, which we shall give with the utmost brevity : There was a people who inhabited at least that part of Europe, long before the historic period, who had no metal, and used stones, aud sometimes bones, for tools, oraaments, imple. mente, and weapone of varjous kinds, with . deer’s horn for handles to such as needed them, . lived io small communities, in at the westerly side of the Desert, near the foot of the Coast Mountains, He thinks that about 87,000 sheep and 7,000 bead of cattle came in by that route last season, Improving Nature. It is thought that the cave in El Dorado will be ready to be thrown open to visitors on Monday, May I4th; but of this, due notice will be given. Workmen are now engaged in draining the water out of the lake, and otherwise fitting it for the ree ception of guests.—Daily Bee, Wouder if it will be painted inside, and ornamooted with glass pendants? It will deubtless be thoroughly “renovated and refitted.” Old dame nature, the present presiding geuius of the pluce, should eertainly be turned out of doors. The lake should be drained, by all means! also all the rough cerners of the cave should be knocked off; they might tear the ladies dresses. It would be a good idea, too, to whitewash some of those columns, It is said that they begin to show age. The flowers around the entrance need not be removed, They are already almost as pretty as artificials! A litue digging up of the ground, and construc. tion of a few graveled walks to and’ from the cave, would be an improvement and give to the scene quite a civilized appearance, We heard of a wealthy man once, who had made a fortune by peddling, aud who greatly enbanced the beauty of a fine residence had purchased, by catting down an odious patural growth of tall hickory trees, and planting in their stead « “splendid lot’ as he termed it, of . imported locusts, They cost him a good deal . of inoney, aud added greatly to the value of his homestead, To use bis own language, “them locuses’”’ presented “a very picture sque appearance.” It is worth while for men to bave mon. ey, when they know so well how to use it, . Now a poor man woald ef course have been compelled to allow that blekory grove to stand, aud ‘them locuses’’ would never have adorned aud civilized the vlace. We have no doubt, that that eave in Ek! Dorado, by the expenditure of a few thousand dollars, can be made to look very “‘picture-sque,’’ indeed. Mr. Gwynn of this city, we believe, has an interest in the cave in question. Heisa man . of taste and cultivation, and we are pretty certain that th's ludiorous business of trying to improve nature ls none of bis work.—Marysville Democrat, A Dovnr anovr Bropgnicx’s Witt.—The New York Herald of April 8th, has the following curious piece of news: : “There isarumor that the will which has been published ag that of the late Senator Broderick of San l’raucisco, turns out not to be genuine.

More recent lake habitations (habitations lacustres) of the same kind have been found, where instruments of copper were mingled with those of etone; and there are indieations that the race which introduced the eopper (probabl Celts) conquered the origival inhabitants. It is remarked by M. F. Trayon, the author of the paper before us, that all the ancient copper found in Europe is alloyed and really bronze, while that of America is pure ; and that the period of iron succeeded that of stone.
