NEVADA, WEDNESDAY, MAY 30, 1860. : Destruetive Fire. On Friday morning last, about half past two o'clock, the Keystone House and Ball Court, near the janction of Broad and Commercial ets, were 7 be Ou fire, and in the urse of half an ose buildings, with not been for the works of the Nevada Water Co,# great portion of the town would have been destroyed. A pieco of hose, which had been used some days before for testing the works, was procured after ome delay, and attached to @ fire-plug, in the vicinity of the urning buildinge. Notwithstanding the hose sficient head to throw a very good stream of water; and with the assisiance of wot blankets the fire wae prevented from crossing Broad and mmercial streets, and the town was thus saved ! "There is a difference of opinion as to whether the fire originated in the Ball Court or in the stone. The proprietorsof both buildings are satisfied it did not originate from any fire about their premises, and the hoar of night at which it oecurred, and the fact that the two houses were on fire at nearly the same time, would lead to the supposition that it was kindled by an incendiary between the two buildinga, They had been lining the Ball Court the day before, but Mr. Sullivan informs us the room was closed up at half past six in the evening and no one was in it from that time until after the alarm was given. The following is a list of the principal losses: N. Bailey, Keystone Hotel and furniture $6,000 M. Sallivan, Ball Court and residence. 2,500 Thos. Buckner, residence, furniture, etc. 3,000 J. A.

He haa a large family, and every thing be possessed was swept away. Fata Mining Accipent.—Twe miners named Edward Dodge and A,'Nutting were washed out of a tunnel at Liberty Hill, Little York township, on Saturday last; resulting in the death of the former, and the serious injury of the latter. It appears that the shaft connecting with the tunnel had become choked and filled with water, and the two men went into the tunnel to elear it, Their intention was to open a small hole into the shaft and let the water off gradually; but they had scarcely commenced their «work, when the rocks and gravel gave way, and the whole body of water came out with a rush, The men were forced through the tunnel, which ia about three hundred fect in length, and carried some five hundred feet further downs cafiou, The noise of the rushing water was heard by the miners in the vicinity, who immediately rashed to the place, and when the water bad run off the unfortunate men were found within a few fect of each other. Dodge was buried in the sand, bis head down and bis feet only were visible; Nutting was lodged against a sluice, his body partly buried, with his head out. Both men were alive when taken out; but Dodge was terribly mangled and braised, bis skul! fractured, and deep cuts made on other parts of his body. He died in about an hour, Nutting was bruised all over the body, and his right arm was fractured in several placee. The men were attended by Dr. Martin, who informs us that Nutting was doing well on Monday, and hopes are entertained that he will recover, though he may, possibly, lose his arm. New Minine District,—Considerable excitement has been caused by the discovery of a new mining district on the rigde between the two branches.of Greenhorn creek, Mr, A. J. Yorty and others, have been working foro year or two in a ravine, and having lately run acuc into the bill struck a “blue-lead,” and have taken out considerable quantities of gold. Bat little is yet known as to the extent of the lead, but it is supposed to be the bed of an ancient stream, and to run up and down the ridge. A large number of claims have been taken up, both above and below those of Yorty & Co., and several companies have been organized with a view of prospecting for the lead by ranning tunnels into the hill, The miners of the . vicinity held » meeting on Saturday, organized @ mining district which they call “Mount Oro,” adopted the necessary ‘regulations in regard to the holding of claims, and many are sanguine that it will prove one of the richest mining localities of the county. Onxsvs.The work of taking the census in California, and in fact throughout the Union, will commence on Friday next, the first day of Jane. Mr. Williams, of Rough & Ready, and Mr. Bowers, of Nevada, were appointed census Marshals for this county ; wo learn, however, that Mr. Bowers has declined the appointment, and some other person will have to be appointed. Mr. Williams’ district embraces the townships of Rough & Ready, Bridgeport, Bloomfield and Eureka; and we trust that some competent person will be found to take the other townships. The pay allowed by law for this work will probably amount to $500 or $600 for each district in Nevada county, and it is calculated that the work can be done in two months. The Secretary of the Interior is authorized, if he deems it expedient, to allow extra compensation to the census-takers for California and Oregon; and there is no doubt that such an allowance will be made. Heavy Stace Rospary.—The stage running from Iowa Hill to Sacramento was stopped by six robbers on Monday morning, wher about two miles from Iowa Hill, and robbed of some $11,000 in gold dost, The money was being sent below in charge of Wells, Fargo & Co. The above intelligence was reccived at the express office in Nevada, by telegraph, and we have Jearned no further particulars. “Ppace, Pzacn, Pracu!”—We received yesterday evening a paper headed as above, but it came to hand too late for this issue, son’s Park, was Monday stock driven off, station k missing. The stati ken up is one hundred and fifty miles beyond Carson City. Mr. Finney, the agent of the Expre . ding to our statement of } San Francisco, had applied to Gen. Clarke for . are but three positions which seventy-five mounted men, w te be enough to protect the stations from m9 a son City to Dry creek, a distance of nearly hundred miles. Gen. Clarke could do no however, in consequence of the limited number of men at his command. Under these circumstances, Mr. Finney ia fearful that the Express . themse' will have to be stopped. He was intending to leave for the scene of danger, and endeavor to carry the Express on, but some of the station upon this q i , the eee gekel teres calculated to catch the ear of the ignorant and mislead. It does not state when the a are to settle the question of slavery for ves—whether on forming a State Constitutionon or before in their ‘social capacity. On this point the locofocos are divided.

Tho Journal would coneede as a matbolted the Charleston Convention to go back . ter of policy what Douglas and o majority of into the Convention at Baltimore, and endeavor . his friends hold to be an inherent right of the to sustain the rights of the South. It is wot) people, The act would be the same, though jority favor the institution. probable that the bolting delegates will be ad-. the motives of action might differ. mitted as members, even if they should attempt to aneak back into the Convention. When the Convention found that a candidate could not be nominated under the rule which had been adopted, of two-thirds the electoral vote of all the States, they adjourned in order to give the Democrats in the States whose delegates had belted, an opportunity to fill the vacancies. Steps bad already been taken to elect delegates in place of the seceders, and ehould the latter again present themselves to the Convention, they will find their places have been filled by gentlemen equally as capable as themselves of sustaining the rights of the South, It would be the height of folly to admit the secedera back into the Convention, when they openly threaten to bolt again unless the majority accede to their demands. Senator Benjamin, in a speech in the Senate, said if tho seceders could get o slave-code platform they would come back into the Democratic party; buat if that platform is . not given them they will not be the only ones out. What could this mean but that they wanted to get back into the Convention for the purpore of raling it; failing in which to again bolt and carry otbers out with them? The firmness . exhibited by the majority of the delegates gives us good reason to conclude that they will not give the seceders an opportunity to carry out their programme, On the other hand, taking up the viow of tho other division of the party, that the people in their social or Territorial condition can exclude slavery, wo ask, as we have asked before without an answer, what becomes of the bo ey which Douglas acknowledges, of a slaveholder to take his property into any Territory acquired by the common blood and treasuro of all the States ?—Journal, If the editor of the Journal had read Douglas’ speeches, with the view of ascertaining his real sentiments, instead of picking out isolated sentences in order to find something to carp at, he would find no inconsistencies in the popular sovereignty doctrine. So far as Congress is concerned the slavebolder has the right to take his property into the Territories; and if a majority of the people are so disposed they can pass laws to protect such property. Douglas holds that slavery isa local institution, and that it does not legally exist in any of the States or Territories until there is seme legislative enactment establishing or protecting it, The people, through their local Legislatures, have the right to pass such laws, and will do so if a maBut if they are opposed to slavery, all they have to do is to witbhold all legislation on tho subject, and the institation does not legally exist. Slave property, like dog property, is not recognized as such by the common law, and can only be made property by special enactments, In some half dozen States—California among number—thero are laws designed to protect the right to property in dogs, and in fifteen States there are laws to protect tho right to property in slaves. The eitizens of Connecticut In regard to the time “‘when’’ the people of a Territory ‘are to settle the question of slavery,’ we hold that they should be permitted to act on the subject whea and how they please. Whenever they bave the right to regulate the relations of husband and wife, parent and ehild, ete., then they have the right to regulate tho relations of master and slave. They cannot, of course, ‘settle’ the question permanently, for what is enacted by one Legislature may be repealed by another. When their institutions are fixed by a State Constitution, they will become more permanent than under the Territorial laws; but even then they can be changed by amending the organic law, Nor So.—The Nevada Democrat, commenting }upon an article which recently appeared in the Standard, in which reference was made to the position taken by the Democracy in this State last . fall, says: The resolutions adopted by the Administration Convention last summer, which was indorsed by sixty thousand voters, actually sustain the popular sovereignty doctrine of Douglas. They were copied, werd for word, from the resolutions adopted by the Ohio Democracy, and were intended to convince the people of California that the Administration party of this State stood upon the same platform as the Democracy of the Western States. The resolutions were copied from the Ohio platform, but in them the word “maintain” was stricken out. The Ohio Democracy declared that Congress . had no power to maintain slavery in the Territories. No such word appears in the platform of the California Democracy.—Sac. Standard. The following is one of the resolutions adopted last summer by the Convention that nominated Latham for Gevernor, Botts for State Printer, etc. : Resolved, That the organived Territories of the United Sates, although not endowed with all the attributes of sovereignty, are yet justly entitled to the right of selfgovernment, and the undisturbed regulation of their domestic or local affairs, subjuct to the Constitution of the United States, and that any attempt by Congress, or any of the States, to establish, or prohibit, or abolish the relation of master and slave in a Territory, would be a departure from tho original doetrine of our American institutions, and that we adhere immovably to the principle Of “NON-INTERVENTION by ¢ ress, with slavery in the States and Territories, as declared in the “ KansasNebraska Bill,” and oe disclaim fellowship with those, whether at the South, the North, or the West, who council the abandonment, limitation, or avoidance of that principle. This resolution was embodied in the platform upon which Mr, Botta was elected to the office of State Printer, and whieh was endorsed by sixty thousand voters of California. The word “maintain,” which eriginally appeared after the word “establish,’’ was stricken out after the resolution was adopted, but that does not alter the sense, It was intended to cenvince the people that the Adininistration party of this State stood upon a popular sovereignty platform. Weare aware that nearly all the leaders among Buchanan’s followers in California were secretly opposed to the doctrine enunciated in their platform; but they were not averse to obtaining office under a pledge to carry out the non-intervention doctrine.

In addition to these, there are two hundred regulars under Capt. . , Stewart, making a total force of about 800 men, all of whom are undoubtedly well armed and mounted, and under the command of experienced officers. It . had been arranged that the regulars and volunteers should act in concert, and the army was to have started for Pyramid Lake about the first of this week. The Indians are reported to have a force of about 1,500 warriors; if they show fight, we may soon expect to hear of a serious engagement, but should they evince a desire for peace, the volunteers will be disbanded, and the regulars will be stationed so as to protect the settlers from further Indian depredations. A Gunmnat Inpian Wan.—The 8. F. Herald gives an extract from a letter of ex-Lieut. Goyernor Samuel Purdy, dated at Fort Buchanan, Arizons, in which he states that the Apaches had for some weeks been remarkably quiet, abstaining from stealing stock or committing other ravages ; but that everything indicated their gathering in great force for a general Indian war. Simultaneous with this hostile disposition of the Apaches, we find their neighbors the Navajos, on the war pathinthe north; the Mojaves in the west; the Tontos on the northern bank of the Gila; the Pah Utes of western Utah already in the field, together with the Shoshones, the Pit River and Snake creek Indians. Throughont a region of not less than six hundred miles square, the Indian tribes, whose hunting grounds are entirely separate from each other, are in arms, and acting apparently in concert against the whites. INDIAN DirricuL Tres IN THR NortH.—A dispatch from Shasta, of May 25th, says that the Indians have commenced hostilities on Butte ereek in good earnest. On the 22d they chased six men for a distance of six miles,to the camp, there being eighteen Indians in pursuit. On the 24th the Indians attacked the house of James Kinzie, where the men were, and the whites killed five Indians, one of whom was chief of the tribe. The Indians have killed some cattle and run others off. The whites are generally in wantof arms. A company is being organized in Yreka for the purpose of punishing them; Butte Valley is about 26 miles east of Yreka. BLAasTING AccipENT.—We learn from the San Juan Press, that on Tuesday of last week, a worthy and industrious miner, named Wm. Williams, a native of Wales, while tamping a blast in a tunnel at Birchville, had his leg horribly fractured, and other portions of his person much injured, by the premature explosion of the blast. Both bones of the leg below the knee, were broken in several places, and a couple of the fingers of the right hand were blown off. Dr. Webber was in immediate attendance upon the unfortunate man, and there is hope that his life will be saved, though, possibly, at the expense of a limb. Narrow Escarn ¥rom Hanaino.—The Supreme Court recently ordered a stay of execution, in the case of Wm. Castello, who was sentenced to be hung on the 18th inst., in Tuolumne county. The Sheriff of the county learnedthat such an order had been made, and took the responsibility of staying the proceedings. The official notification was not received until the day after that fixed for the execution. Inguny To THB Crops.—A_ correspondent at Chico, in Butte county, informs the Red Bluff Beacon, thatthe late heavy frosts, which prevailed throughout the Sacramento valley, almost entirely destroyed the wheat crop on Major Bidwell’s ranch, and also on many others in that vicinity. He estimates the damage done the Major alone will amount to five thousand dollars. Horses Kittep By Inp1ans.—A few nights since, while four men who had been out hunting for some time in the mountains, were encamped on Battle creek, about twenty-five miles east of Red Bluff, the Indians made a decent upon their horses, which were picketed out, and killed three out of the four, by cutting their throats and stabbing them back of the shoulder. Tus Crors 1n SonoMA.—The Sonoma Democrat learns from numerous farmers in that county, that the late rains have injured the crops of wheat, barley, and hay, to a considerable extent. A large quantity of wheat and some barley, had been blown dng by the winds, and the rust has begun to affect Goop ror THE OvERLAND.—A lady who came a passenger inthe stage, with the last overland mail, is reported by a San Francisco paper to have gained three pounds on the trip. The hardships and anxieties of the overland journey cannot be very terrible. Buastina Accripsnt.—A miner named John Roach, in the employ of Col. Fremont, at the Steptoe vein, Mariposa, was severally injured afew days ago, while drilling out an old blast. Nuwsparer Favors.—Geo. & Wm. Stone, the enterprising newspaper agents of Nevada, have during the past week, as usual, supplied us with San Francisco dailies.

Tue CanironNnta DeLteGation.—The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald says: “Since the adjournment ofthe Charleston Convention, lam informed that an arrangement has been made by the Senators and Members from the Pacific section of the country, by which they will aid the disunionists in their effort to break up the Government; and this accounts for the course pursued by California and Oregon in that Convention, and dispatch of Senator Lane. This new scheme will account for the quietude of Senators in reference to the Pacific Railroad bill. But I am informed that the House Committee has agreed to take up their Pacific Railroad bill for considera_ on the 17th of the present month for final acon,” Sneaxing Homs.—The brave bruiser ws who assisted his roast beef and pudding-eating adherents to steal the late fight from Heenan, sneaked home on the steamer Canada. He was afraid to land in daylight and the arrival of the steamer took place at a different period than that which she was expected. A large police force was ordered to the wharf to preserve order, but the cowardly bruiser sneaked ashore and left Boston in the morning train for Albany.

NEVADA, WEDNESDAY, MAY 30, 1860. : Destruetive Fire. On Friday morning last, about half past two o'clock, the Keystone House and Ball Court, near the janction of Broad and Commercial ets, were 7 be Ou fire, and in the urse of half an ose buildings, with not been for the works of the Nevada Water Co,# great portion of the town would have been destroyed. A pieco of hose, which had been used some days before for testing the works, was procured after ome delay, and attached to @ fire-plug, in the vicinity of the urning buildinge. Notwithstanding the hose sficient head to throw a very good stream of water; and with the assisiance of wot blankets the fire wae prevented from crossing Broad and mmercial streets, and the town was thus saved ! "There is a difference of opinion as to whether the fire originated in the Ball Court or in the stone. The proprietorsof both buildings are satisfied it did not originate from any fire about their premises, and the hoar of night at which it oecurred, and the fact that the two houses were on fire at nearly the same time, would lead to the supposition that it was kindled by an incendiary between the two buildinga, They had been lining the Ball Court the day before, but Mr. Sullivan informs us the room was closed up at half past six in the evening and no one was in it from that time until after the alarm was given. The following is a list of the principal losses: N. Bailey, Keystone Hotel and furniture $6,000 M. Sallivan, Ball Court and residence. 2,500 Thos. Buckner, residence, furniture, etc. 3,000 J. A.

Fata Mining Accipent.—Twe miners named Edward Dodge and A,'Nutting were washed out of a tunnel at Liberty Hill, Little York township, on Saturday last; resulting in the death of the former, and the serious injury of the latter. It appears that the shaft connecting with the tunnel had become choked and filled with water, and the two men went into the tunnel to elear it, Their intention was to open a small hole into the shaft and let the water off gradually; but they had scarcely commenced their «work, when the rocks and gravel gave way, and the whole body of water came out with a rush, The men were forced through the tunnel, which ia about three hundred fect in length, and carried some five hundred feet further downs cafiou, The noise of the rushing water was heard by the miners in the vicinity, who immediately rashed to the place, and when the water bad run off the unfortunate men were found within a few fect of each other. Dodge was buried in the sand, bis head down and bis feet only were visible; Nutting was lodged against a sluice, his body partly buried, with his head out. Both men were alive when taken out; but Dodge was terribly mangled and braised, bis skul! fractured, and deep cuts made on other parts of his body. He died in about an hour, Nutting was bruised all over the body, and his right arm was fractured in several placee. The men were attended by Dr. Martin, who informs us that Nutting was doing well on Monday, and hopes are entertained that he will recover, though he may, possibly, lose his arm. New Minine District,—Considerable excitement has been caused by the discovery of a new mining district on the rigde between the two branches.of Greenhorn creek, Mr, A. J. Yorty and others, have been working foro year or two in a ravine, and having lately run acuc into the bill struck a “blue-lead,” and have taken out considerable quantities of gold. Bat little is yet known as to the extent of the lead, but it is supposed to be the bed of an ancient stream, and to run up and down the ridge. A large number of claims have been taken up, both above and below those of Yorty & Co., and several companies have been organized with a view of prospecting for the lead by ranning tunnels into the hill, The miners of the . vicinity held » meeting on Saturday, organized @ mining district which they call “Mount Oro,” adopted the necessary ‘regulations in regard to the holding of claims, and many are sanguine that it will prove one of the richest mining localities of the county. Onxsvs.The work of taking the census in California, and in fact throughout the Union, will commence on Friday next, the first day of Jane. Mr. Williams, of Rough & Ready, and Mr. Bowers, of Nevada, were appointed census Marshals for this county ; wo learn, however, that Mr. Bowers has declined the appointment, and some other person will have to be appointed. Mr. Williams’ district embraces the townships of Rough & Ready, Bridgeport, Bloomfield and Eureka; and we trust that some competent person will be found to take the other townships. The pay allowed by law for this work will probably amount to $500 or $600 for each district in Nevada county, and it is calculated that the work can be done in two months. The Secretary of the Interior is authorized, if he deems it expedient, to allow extra compensation to the census-takers for California and Oregon; and there is no doubt that such an allowance will be made. Heavy Stace Rospary.—The stage running from Iowa Hill to Sacramento was stopped by six robbers on Monday morning, wher about two miles from Iowa Hill, and robbed of some $11,000 in gold dost, The money was being sent below in charge of Wells, Fargo & Co. The above intelligence was reccived at the express office in Nevada, by telegraph, and we have Jearned no further particulars. “Ppace, Pzacn, Pracu!”—We received yesterday evening a paper headed as above, but it came to hand too late for this issue, son’s Park, was Monday stock driven off, station k missing. The stati ken up is one hundred and fifty miles beyond Carson City. Mr. Finney, the agent of the Expre . ding to our statement of } San Francisco, had applied to Gen. Clarke for . are but three positions which seventy-five mounted men, w te be enough to protect the stations from m9 a son City to Dry creek, a distance of nearly hundred miles. Gen. Clarke could do no however, in consequence of the limited number of men at his command. Under these circumstances, Mr. Finney ia fearful that the Express . themse' will have to be stopped. He was intending to leave for the scene of danger, and endeavor to carry the Express on, but some of the station upon this q i , the eee gekel teres calculated to catch the ear of the ignorant and mislead. It does not state when the a are to settle the question of slavery for ves—whether on forming a State Constitutionon or before in their ‘social capacity. On this point the locofocos are divided.

Tho Journal would coneede as a matbolted the Charleston Convention to go back . ter of policy what Douglas and o majority of into the Convention at Baltimore, and endeavor . his friends hold to be an inherent right of the to sustain the rights of the South. It is wot) people, The act would be the same, though jority favor the institution. probable that the bolting delegates will be ad-. the motives of action might differ. mitted as members, even if they should attempt to aneak back into the Convention. When the Convention found that a candidate could not be nominated under the rule which had been adopted, of two-thirds the electoral vote of all the States, they adjourned in order to give the Democrats in the States whose delegates had belted, an opportunity to fill the vacancies. Steps bad already been taken to elect delegates in place of the seceders, and ehould the latter again present themselves to the Convention, they will find their places have been filled by gentlemen equally as capable as themselves of sustaining the rights of the South, It would be the height of folly to admit the secedera back into the Convention, when they openly threaten to bolt again unless the majority accede to their demands. Senator Benjamin, in a speech in the Senate, said if tho seceders could get o slave-code platform they would come back into the Democratic party; buat if that platform is . not given them they will not be the only ones out. What could this mean but that they wanted to get back into the Convention for the purpore of raling it; failing in which to again bolt and carry otbers out with them? The firmness . exhibited by the majority of the delegates gives us good reason to conclude that they will not give the seceders an opportunity to carry out their programme, On the other hand, taking up the viow of tho other division of the party, that the people in their social or Territorial condition can exclude slavery, wo ask, as we have asked before without an answer, what becomes of the bo ey which Douglas acknowledges, of a slaveholder to take his property into any Territory acquired by the common blood and treasuro of all the States ?—Journal, If the editor of the Journal had read Douglas’ speeches, with the view of ascertaining his real sentiments, instead of picking out isolated sentences in order to find something to carp at, he would find no inconsistencies in the popular sovereignty doctrine. So far as Congress is concerned the slavebolder has the right to take his property into the Territories; and if a majority of the people are so disposed they can pass laws to protect such property. Douglas holds that slavery isa local institution, and that it does not legally exist in any of the States or Territories until there is seme legislative enactment establishing or protecting it, The people, through their local Legislatures, have the right to pass such laws, and will do so if a maBut if they are opposed to slavery, all they have to do is to witbhold all legislation on tho subject, and the institation does not legally exist. Slave property, like dog property, is not recognized as such by the common law, and can only be made property by special enactments, In some half dozen States—California among number—thero are laws designed to protect the right to property in dogs, and in fifteen States there are laws to protect tho right to property in slaves. The eitizens of Connecticut In regard to the time “‘when’’ the people of a Territory ‘are to settle the question of slavery,’ we hold that they should be permitted to act on the subject whea and how they please. Whenever they bave the right to regulate the relations of husband and wife, parent and ehild, ete., then they have the right to regulate tho relations of master and slave. They cannot, of course, ‘settle’ the question permanently, for what is enacted by one Legislature may be repealed by another. When their institutions are fixed by a State Constitution, they will become more permanent than under the Territorial laws; but even then they can be changed by amending the organic law, Nor So.—The Nevada Democrat, commenting }upon an article which recently appeared in the Standard, in which reference was made to the position taken by the Democracy in this State last . fall, says: The resolutions adopted by the Administration Convention last summer, which was indorsed by sixty thousand voters, actually sustain the popular sovereignty doctrine of Douglas. They were copied, werd for word, from the resolutions adopted by the Ohio Democracy, and were intended to convince the people of California that the Administration party of this State stood upon the same platform as the Democracy of the Western States. The resolutions were copied from the Ohio platform, but in them the word “maintain” was stricken out. The Ohio Democracy declared that Congress . had no power to maintain slavery in the Territories. No such word appears in the platform of the California Democracy.—Sac. Standard. The following is one of the resolutions adopted last summer by the Convention that nominated Latham for Gevernor, Botts for State Printer, etc. : Resolved, That the organived Territories of the United Sates, although not endowed with all the attributes of sovereignty, are yet justly entitled to the right of selfgovernment, and the undisturbed regulation of their domestic or local affairs, subjuct to the Constitution of the United States, and that any attempt by Congress, or any of the States, to establish, or prohibit, or abolish the relation of master and slave in a Territory, would be a departure from tho original doetrine of our American institutions, and that we adhere immovably to the principle Of “NON-INTERVENTION by ¢ ress, with slavery in the States and Territories, as declared in the “ KansasNebraska Bill,” and oe disclaim fellowship with those, whether at the South, the North, or the West, who council the abandonment, limitation, or avoidance of that principle. This resolution was embodied in the platform upon which Mr, Botta was elected to the office of State Printer, and whieh was endorsed by sixty thousand voters of California. The word “maintain,” which eriginally appeared after the word “establish,’’ was stricken out after the resolution was adopted, but that does not alter the sense, It was intended to cenvince the people that the Adininistration party of this State stood upon a popular sovereignty platform. Weare aware that nearly all the leaders among Buchanan’s followers in California were secretly opposed to the doctrine enunciated in their platform; but they were not averse to obtaining office under a pledge to carry out the non-intervention doctrine.

It . had been arranged that the regulars and volunteers should act in concert, and the army was to have started for Pyramid Lake about the first of this week. The Indians are reported to have a force of about 1,500 warriors; if they show fight, we may soon expect to hear of a serious engagement, but should they evince a desire for peace, the volunteers will be disbanded, and the regulars will be stationed so as to protect the settlers from further Indian depredations. A Gunmnat Inpian Wan.—The 8. F. Herald

gives an extract from a letter of ex-Lieut. Goyernor Samuel Purdy, dated at Fort Buchanan, Arizons, in which he states that the Apaches had for some weeks been remarkably quiet, abstaining from stealing stock or committing other ravages ; but that everything indicated their gathering in great force for a general Indian war. Simultaneous with this hostile disposition of the Apaches, we find their neighbors the Navajos, on the war pathinthe north; the Mojaves in the west; the Tontos on the northern bank of the Gila; the Pah Utes of western Utah already in the field, together with the Shoshones, the Pit River and Snake creek Indians. Throughont a region of not less than six hundred miles square, the Indian tribes, whose hunting grounds are entirely separate from each other, are in arms, and acting apparently in concert against the whites. INDIAN DirricuL Tres IN THR NortH.—A dispatch from Shasta, of May 25th, says that the Indians have commenced hostilities on Butte ereek in good earnest. On the 22d they chased six men for a distance of six miles,to the camp, there being eighteen Indians in pursuit. On the 24th the Indians attacked the house of James Kinzie, where the men were, and the whites killed five Indians, one of whom was chief of the tribe. The Indians have killed some cattle and run others off. The whites are generally in wantof arms. A company is being organized in Yreka for the purpose of punishing them; Butte Valley is about 26 miles east of Yreka. BLAasTING AccipENT.—We learn from the San Juan Press, that on Tuesday of last week, a worthy and industrious miner, named Wm. Williams, a native of Wales, while tamping a blast in a tunnel at Birchville, had his leg horribly fractured, and other portions of his person much injured, by the premature explosion of the blast. Both bones of the leg below the knee, were broken in several places, and a couple of the fingers of the right hand were blown off. Dr. Webber was in immediate attendance upon the unfortunate man, and there is hope that his life will be saved, though, possibly, at the expense of a limb. Narrow Escarn ¥rom Hanaino.—The Supreme Court recently ordered a stay of execution, in the case of Wm. Castello, who was sentenced to be hung on the 18th inst., in Tuolumne county. The Sheriff of the county learnedthat such an order had been made, and took the responsibility of staying the proceedings. The official notification was not received until the day after that fixed for the execution. Inguny To THB Crops.—A_ correspondent at Chico, in Butte county, informs the Red Bluff Beacon, thatthe late heavy frosts, which prevailed throughout the Sacramento valley, almost entirely destroyed the wheat crop on Major Bidwell’s ranch, and also on many others in that vicinity. He estimates the damage done the Major alone will amount to five thousand dollars. Horses Kittep By Inp1ans.—A few nights since, while four men who had been out hunting for some time in the mountains, were encamped on Battle creek, about twenty-five miles east of Red Bluff, the Indians made a decent upon their horses, which were picketed out, and killed three out of the four, by cutting their throats and stabbing them back of the shoulder. Tus Crors 1n SonoMA.—The Sonoma Democrat learns from numerous farmers in that county, that the late rains have injured the crops of wheat, barley, and hay, to a considerable extent. A large quantity of wheat and some barley, had been blown dng by the winds, and the rust has begun to affect Goop ror THE OvERLAND.—A lady who came a passenger inthe stage, with the last overland mail, is reported by a San Francisco paper to have gained three pounds on the trip. The hardships and anxieties of the overland journey cannot be very terrible. Buastina Accripsnt.—A miner named John Roach, in the employ of Col.

Tue CanironNnta DeLteGation.—The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald says: “Since the adjournment ofthe Charleston Convention, lam informed that an arrangement has been made by the Senators and Members from the Pacific section of the country, by which they will aid the disunionists in their effort to break up the Government; and this accounts for the course pursued by California and Oregon in that Convention, and dispatch of Senator Lane.

He was afraid to land in daylight and the arrival of the steamer took place at a different period than that which she was expected. A large police force was ordered to the wharf to preserve order, but the cowardly bruiser sneaked ashore and left Boston in the morning train for Albany.
