Gerada Brmacrat,
Tux First Figut.—A correspondent of
the Alta, writiag from the Colerado, gives
the following account of the first engagement between the California Volunteers
and the rebels:
News bas reached us of the first encounter between our soldiers and the Texans,
. It appears that Capt. Calloway was advised
of the fact that the enemy had posted a
picket guard to watch the road leading to
. Tocson, and he accordiugly, oa or about
the 16th or 17th inst., sent Lieut. Barrett,
of Co. A, 1st Cavalry California Volunteers
with twelve mea, to cut off or drive in the
enemy's picket. Lieut. Barrett managed
to get between Tuscon and the picket,
which was posted in a chaparral, and then
attempted to drive the picket forward on
In endeavoring to execute this manceavre, he unwisely
entered the chaparral mounted, whilst the
enemy watched his advance from their covert, Atthe first discharge the gallant Bar. rett was killed, with one his men, and an. other was mortally wounded, Nevertheless, the brave fellows who remained dismounted, gave the enemy a taste of their
quality, killing three, wounding three and
taking three prisoners, besides capturing
. all the eoemy’s stores, camp and garrison
equippage, etc, The rebels numbe:ed sixteen, and our force but twelve men, Our
loss was three killed, including Barrett,
and three wounded, This is the first con
flict that bas occurred between California
troops proper and the rebels, There is evio believe that we shall bave
fore long. The California troops will probably do the best fightiog in the contest, as
the rebels are being gradually driven southward upon the position they must sooner or
Jater occupy.
From Fort Yuma.—By a private letter
received from Fort Yuma, dated April 30tb
we learn that at that time there were at
that point the following companies from
thie part of the State: Company E. Capt.
Ford, Sacramento; company ©, Captain
Thayer, Nevada couoty—of the Sth Regiment, and company A, Capt, Willis, Oro
ville; company G, Capt. Green, Nevada;
EK, Capt, Bobert, Sacramento;
Cupt. Parvin, Sierra county-—all of the Ist
Cavalry Regiment, In addition to these
tillery, was daily expected from Camp
Wright, and companies A, Band G, of the .
Fifth Regiment, were with the advance
guard of the foree which had gone into Ar
izona, Some chagrin was experienced at
men, in an attemgt to recapture whom .
Lient, Barnett. of his commend and four .
Had a rapid forward .
movement opon Tucson by a single company been made at that time, it was supposed
that the place might have been captured as
it was then defenseless, Captures of reb
els were occasionally made, Lieut. K, C
Baldwin, of Co. D, First Cavalry, having
brought in three prisoners a day or two before the letter was written, At that writing .
Lieut. Colonels West and Eyre were ou their .
way to Tucson with ten companies of inovertake them. Major Rigg was then in .
command at Fort Yuma and Col, Carleton .
had just arrived there, the remainder of .
Fifth Regiment being expected to arrive,
with Col, Bowie, very soon, Major Cont,
of the Fifth, was aiso at Yuma, but expect. .
to goon toward New Mexico witha re-.
serve, The health of the troops was excellent and all hands were, of course, eager
peal.
A RatLroap Prosect.—Local parties are
agitating a railroad from Mokelumne City .
to Woodbridge. The San Joaquin Republi.
cau says of it:
Some time since we stated that the pro. ject for building a railroad from Mokelamne
City was not a myth, but a reality, and we
now repeat we then said—the road will be
A complete survey of the line has
been made from Woodbridge to Sharp's
on the Sacramento river, a distance of 31}
miles. By this route Woodbridge is only
78 miles from San Francisco, The right of
way has been obtained from the property
owners on the route, with une exception,
The only objection of this solitary named
. one is that the road will enbance the value of
lands, which of course will increase his taxes, aconsummation he devoutly oppores.
. The money to build the road has been anbscribed, and in lees than two vears the denizens will be awoke from their lethargy by .
the sound of the locomotive whistle, on a}
road connecting Woodbridge with the Sac.

Exouisu Spreen axp Tovoraxce,—The
North British Review for February, ¢ontains a long article on the American rebellion, written by some bull-beaded Englisbman, who is blessed with a redundant flow
of words, and whom Dame Natare designed
for a fool, but was thwarted in her design
by some persevering school-master. T
article is scurrilous, low, and ignorant,
from beginning to end, and is in keepia
with the tone of nearly the entire English
press, towards the United States,
Referring to Old Hickory, the writer says:
“Jackson’s narrow mind, violent temper,
and iron will, did more to rain and demoralize his country, than has been effected by
any single man before or since.’ It is said
that an unprincipled man never forgives the
person who chastises him, no matter bow
just may bave been the punishment, It is
more then probable that a proud, insolent
and overbearing nation, never forgives, and
always cordially bates a peeple who have
thwarted her in some unholy design, and
forced ber great armies to the humility of a
surrender,
If this principle, eo prominent in individuals, is applicable also to nations, the canee
of England's animosity towards the American Union is apparent to the most obtuse
faculties. The last kick is always felt the
most keenly; bence the personal fling at
General Jackson, English scribblers have
not yet forgotteo that it was at his hands
the British Lion received his last bomiliating castigation on this continent,
The true secret of England’s sympatiy
with the rebel cause is not that she loves
the South more or hates the North less, but
knowing the aim and object of the rebellion
to be the dissolution of the Union, she hopes
it may succeed, for its success divides, and
consequeatly weakens, a power that she has
hated from its birth, and feared from its
childhood.—[{ Yreka Union.
Deatu or Fitz James O'Brikn, THe Port.
—Another scholar and bero, one who
fought side by side with Lander, and received his death wound in the same battle
in which bis commander was struck down,
bas just been taid in his last resting place.
Fitz James O’Brien was a young Irieh gentleman who bad attained au enviable position in the literary world, as a writer of poetry and prose, both in the daily press aod
several of our most prominent magazines,
He was at one time attached to the editorial staff of the New York Times. When
the war broke out he accompavied the 7th
Regiment as a volaoteer on its three months’
service at Washington, and subsequently
received a Lieutenant's commission in the
Alt the time be received the
wound which terminated in bis death, he
was attached to Gen, Lander’s staff. The
story of bis brilliant skirmish on the upper
the rebel leader
hand to hand, and killed bit on tbe spot,
receiving at the same time his own death
wound, has already been told, His wound
was thought at first to be a slight one, but
subsequently it was found necessary to ampotate his arm, when luck jaw sapervened
and soon terminated his life. The last production of Lieut. O’Brien’s pen was the
graceful verses entitled *The Picket Guard’’
which you will find floating through the
. columns of the newspapers, without the author’s name, He was buried at Greenwood,
a detachment of the 7th Regiment doing
the escort honors, end a large number of
. literary men accompanying bis remains to
. fantry and cavalry, having just started to . the tomb,
Catirorsta Woon.— During the late sheep
shearing festival io Marysville, about eleven
as
. hundred pounds of wool wae taken from the
forty-five French merino sheep of Brannan
& Bingham. The Express saya:
This wool has been sold for forty cents
per pound, to the proprievors of the California Woolen Factory at San Francisco,
} and is to be manufactured into cloth inymediately, Thirty-two gentlemen have already
igiven their orders for suits of clothes to be
made from the cloth, Cloaks are tuo be
made up within thirty days to be presented
within two months to the President of the
United States and the Seeretary of State.
. We think tbe manufactared article will refleet much credit on the enterprise and skill
of our young State,
An Exquimaux Fiopne.—The Esqoimaux
are fond of music and dancing, are apt mechanics, and will readily imitate anything
they see. For example, I showed one a violin, and on a visit to bis wigwam some
mooths after. I found he bad maoufactared
an instrament from the birch-tree, the
strings being made from seal-gut, The
most curious part was the bow, Oa asking
him how he managed to make it, he poine
ted with a smile to his wife’s head, and sure
enough, I found the hair on the head and
that on the bow correspond,
