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. ramento river, Then, and not till then. . will the people of Stockton realize what they have lost by the lack of a little enter-/ prise, . reyuiar army. . Potomac, where be met NUMBER 614. 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, Dipn’t Like Ir.—Recently at a concert in Philadelphia, the British national air,of “God Save the Queen” was hissed down, Young America must be a very pions young fellow; be makes every day a fast day.
