By the recent arrival at Los Angeles of an immigrant train, which came by the southern reute from Salt Lake, information of an important character has been received, touching the designs of the Mormons. From the statements of several gentlemen who came on in advance of the train, which we find published at length in the Los Angeles Star of the 17th and 24th ult., there is reason to believe that the Mormons design resisting the government troops now on their way to Utah; and it is quite certain that they are leagued with the Indians, for the purpose of annoying and robbing the immigrant trains that pass through their country. Mr. Honea says that at Fort Bridger the Mormons bad a large quantity of provisions stored, a considerable number of Indians were encamped around the fort, and the people generally spoke of resisting Gen, Harney. About thirty miles this side of the fort he met three companies, of one hundred men each, who were called the “army of observation.’’ One of these men told Mr. Honea that they were on their way to meet Harney, to see what he was coming for ; “if he is coming peaceably we will let him come, if not we will drive him back.’ Another spoke bitterly against all Federal officers; rejoiced that the time had come when the saints would be avenged on their enemies; that Harney and his 2,500 men would never enter Salt Lake city, He also said that Gov. Young had ordered the people to prepare for war. On the 17th of August, Mr. Hones passed through Salt Lake city, where he remained only three or four hours, While there he had a conversation with a gentile merchant, who stated that on the previous Sunday, Brigham Young had declared, in the Temple, that henceforth Utah was a seperate and independent Territory, and owed no obedience or allegiance to any laws but those of their own enactment, and called upon the people to stand together, and support him in maintaining the cause of God and the church. The Mormons cannot be so insane as to suppose they can successfully resist the authority of the Federal government, and the ides that they will attempt it seems almost incredible. They may easily repulse the small body of troops now on their way to Utab, but in driving them back, or offering any resistance to their occupation of the territory, they must be aware that they will bring upon themselves the vengeance of the Federal government, which it would be madness for them to brave. The Mormon leaders have the credit of being shrewd men, and they certainly must know how utterly futile all their attempts would be at resistance. Yet if there is any meaning whatever to be attached to the harrangues of Brigham Young, as published in the Mormon newspaper, be is gradually preparing the minds of his people to resist the government. The Mormon population is composed to @ great extent of ignorant foreigners, who know nothing of our institutions and laws, and it may be well enough for the goverument to teach them that there isa “higher Jaw” than that which issues from the mouth of their prophet. The Overland Mall Route. We have heard much inquiry during the past few weeks in regard to the overland mail route, from San Diego to San Antonio, Texas. From a letter recently received by a gentleman of this city, from the agent of the contractors, at San Diego, which has been kindly placed at our disposal, we gather some particulars in relation to the travel over this route not generally known, The stages run all the way from San Diego te San Antonio, and the travel is regular, particularly at this season of the year, when the rainy season is over in the Gadsden Purchase and New Mexico. At no season, however, need @ detention af more than one day be feared from high water. There is no danger from Indians, asa guard of eight men travel with each mail, besides passengers, On an average, a man can get four hours sleep each night, on the ground, . but in addition he can stretch himself out on the baggage while the stages are traveling, and sleep comfortably whenever he feels like it. The fatigue is next to nothing. Passengers cannot depend on reaching San Antonio in less than thirty days, which ia the echedule time, but may make it in twenty-six, as the company have constant relays. The price of passage from San Francisco to New Orleans, is two hundred dollars, the company finding the passengers in provisions as far as San Antonio. Passengers are allowed to carry twenty-five pounds of baggage, which must be in a carpetbag. At present the company do not care to carry over six passengers at a trip; but if eufficient inducements are offered the roate will be stocked for a larger number. Mr. Henry Reed acts as agent of the company atSan Francisco, and any information in regard to the travel on this route can be obtained from him. Tux Lats Steamenip Disaster.—One of the largest, most respectable, and earnest gatherings of citizens ever held in San Francisco, assembled at Musical Hall last Saturday evening. Resolutions were adopted expressive of the feelings of the people in regard to the late terrible disaster. After paying an appropriate tribute to the dead, and awarding the meed of praise to the gallnt men who periled their lives and vessels in their efforts to rescue the survivorsthe resolutions express the most deeided disapprobation of the heartless disregard of the lives and comfort of passengers displayed by the steamship companies. The carelessnese of the U. 8. M. steamship company is condemned as tittle less than a crime, and the Pacific steamship company was severely censured for using the steamers Panama and California, on this coast, The resolutions also suggested amendments to thg law regulating the inepection and provisioning of steamships. Tax Sramp Tax.—-The revenue derived from the stamp tax, for the four monthe ending October 31st, amounted to $42,436 98. At this rate the annual receipts from the stamp tax will exceed $127,000. We have never yet heard any compleiat of this tax being oppressive, to-day, The late Massacre on the PlainsAdditional e Particulars. By the arrival of immigrants at Los Angeles, we bave a fall confirmation of the late reported massacre of the immigrant train near the Santa Clara river, and some additional particulars of the outrage. It was known that another company was traveling a few days bebind the one that was massacred, and fears were entertained that they too would be cut off. This latter company, however, at last accounts had passed the dangerous portion of the road, and stopped to recuit their stock. They passed within a few miles of the place where the butchery occurred, and were subject to many annoyances from the Mormon interpreters whom they had hired to conduct them through the Indian country. The interpreters seemed to be on friendly terms with the Indians, and assisted them in levyiug contributions upon the immigrants’ An attack was made by the Indians upon the train, near the Muddy, and 326 head of cattle run off. At this point the interpreters left the train, and they had no further trouble with the Indians. It appears that from the time they left Salt Lake, the immigrants were more in fear of the interpreters than of the Indians, They managed to get through with their lives, but between the interpreters and Indians they lost a great share of their property. The train which was so cruelly massacred, was under the charge of Capt. Baker, from Carroll county, Arkansas; Mr. Silas Edwards, and Wm. Baker, son of the Captain, were also in the train. It is stated that Wm. Baker escaped froin the massacre, bnt was afterwards murdered on the Muddy by some Indians, inthe presence of three Mormons, who represented that they were unable to save his life. The fifteen children whose lives were saved, were taken to Cedar City, a Mormon town not far from the place of the massacre. The eldest of these iss little girl only six years old, and it was probably the intention not to spare the life of any one old enough to give any particulars of the butchery. The most probable reason assigned for the massacre, is this: The train stopped some weeks near Salt Lake City, and the men were very free in éxpressing their opinion of the Mormons. Feeling perfectly secure in their arms and oumbers, they are said to have been reckless, aud would commit little acts of annoyance for the purpose of provoking the Saints, and seemed to set at defiance all the powers that could be brought against them. These imprudences were doubtless the cause of the whole company, with the exception of the fifteen iufants, being slaughtered. <A portion of the property belonging to the company wasin possession of the Indians, anda Mormon elder was seen riding a horse which belonged to Mr. Silas Edwards. The Mormons were on the most friendly terms with the Indians, which goes far to implicate them iu this horrid work. The massacre occurred on on the 18th of September, about three huvdred . miles from Salt Lake, near the out-skirts of the . Sluicing Companies —A suit was commenced on Monday in the District Court of this county, the result of which will settle a question of great importance to miners. Messrs. Becker and otbers located certain mining claims in the bed of Wood’s Ravine, near this place, many months since, and held and worked the same as ravine or sluicing claims. A few weeks since Messrs. Lowell & Co. discovered and duly located a very Mormon settlements. One hundred and eighteen persons in all were murdered, of whom fifty-six were men, the others were women and children, Their bodies were left unburied. This cruel and sanguinary affair demands a searching investigation by the Federal government, in order that the perpetratora may be brought to punishment, The dangers to which the emigrants traveling over the Salt Luke route are exposed, are now fully known, and energetic and effectual measures must be addapted by the government to protect the lives aud property of its citizens upon this national highway. Serrovs Accipznt—Gross CareLessness,—A man named Solomon Bliler came near losing Butte county. It seems, says the Butte Record, that Bliler was writing ata table, and by the light of a candle stuck into a porter bottle for support, As the candle burnt down it fell into the bottle, and as it fell, ignited a quantity of powder, which had been placed ina ita long while before by one of the careless people about the premises. An explosion followed, and Bliler was severely hurt, his right eye much injured. It is feared that he will lose his right eye, though otherwise he is not dangerously injured The exploded bottle had been used as a candlestick for several weeks, charged with the powder all the time. E. A. Rowre.—This individual, who it will be remembered has been incarcerated for six or eight months on board the prison brig in Sacramento, for refusing to answer questions touching the disposition made of the money belonging to the State, made an unsuccessful attempt last Friday to get released. He signified his willingness to answer any question which might be propounded to him by the grand jury. He was accordingly taken before that, but in consequenoe of his unsatisfactory answers to some questions, aud his refusal to answer others, he was again remanded on board the brig. From Carson VaLuey.—lIntelligence bas been received from Carson Valley to the effect thas one of the Indians implicated in the murder of Williams aud McFarland, had been arrested by Col. Rogers’ party on Monday Oct. 26th. He was tried on Tuesday, and confexsed enough to convict him. Pending the vote as to his fate, he struck his guard and ran; he was shot twice while running, and died that night, The Iudian was known by the name of Charley, and was decoyed to the ranch of Mr. Thornton by Capt. Jim, of the Washo tribe. Sugrp on tue Nosix’s Rovre.—We learn from the Tehama Advocate that as immense number of sheep are coming into the Sacramento valley by the northern or Noble's route. Those who were in charge of the stock; say that at least 15,000 head of this kind of stock were within 150 miles of the valley. They have asa general thing been driven across without serious loss by disease or want of forage. Water and grass are abundant the most of the way, and more particularly on this end of the trip. Sonoma Dxmocrat.—We have received the first number of a new paper, printed at Santa Rosa, Sonoma county. with the above title, It is Democratic in politics, and published by Mr. A. W. Russell, formerly of Nevada, Mernopist Corsrences.—The Quarterly Conference ef the M. E. Church South, held its session at San Jose Oct. 3lst and Novy. lst. The Annual Conference meets atthe eame place his life about a week ago, near Spanish Town, . yemain in Nevada but two nights, reem te he doing a gond busines, ImportaxT Sutr.—Two suits were commenced on Friday last in the District Court, by Weaver and others against the Eureka Lake Company, . for the right to the water of the big lakes, above Eureka. The lakes afford a large quantity of water, and the right to its use is of course valuable. Mr. Weaver has his ditch completed to, Eureka, and the Lake Co. are vigorously prose. cuting the work on theirs, The latter company . are depending exclusively on the lakes for a— supply of water, and should they lose the suit. the money they have expended will be thrown . away. Weaver has a small supply of water in. dependent of the lakes. . . con ee LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Iuportaxt TO Miners—Quartz Campanies vs. rich quartz lead withir or on the ravine or éluicing claims. The former company bave brought an action of trespass against the latter named company, to recover the sum of five thousand dollars damages, and for a perpetual injunction against farther waste and trespass upon the lead or any part of plaintiffs’ claims. Does the location and appropriation of the bed of a stream or other mining ground, for sluicing purposes, exclude others from subsequently locating and working a quartz lead under, or running through such mining claims? This question will be fully tried in the above case, and is one likely often to recur in this vicinity. Sovru Yusa Drrcu.—This ditch has been so far . completed that the water from the South Yuba Creek, from whence it will be brought into Ne. vada by the Suow Mountain and other ditches. The water from the lakes waa let into the Yuba . river on Saturday last, and it was the design . to shut down the waste-gate on Mondvy, and conduct the water through the tunnel and from . thence into Deer Creek. The water will proba-. bly reach Nevada either to-day or to-morrow. . We hope soon to see the flush times we have all . been looking for, “when the Seuth Yuba Ditch is completed. ”’ New Quartz Mu.t.—Meesrs, Paul & Hoadley have commenced the erection of a quartz mill near the mouth of Deadwood Creek, about two and a half miles above Nevada, The foundation of the mill is laid, workmen are engaged in getting out timber for the frame, aud the machinery is now on the way up from Sacramento, and will probably all be on the ground to-day or te-morrow. The mill is designed to run twelve stamps, and it ie thought will be completed by the middle of December. Mr. Paul has had considerable experience in quartz miniog, and from our own knowledge of the leads in that section we are satisfied he bas selected a good locality for the erection of a mill, There are seven or eight leads within halfa mile of the mill site, which have been thoroughly prospected, and which have paid all the way from fifteen toa hundred and thirty dollars a ton, and doubtless many other leads will yet be discovered im the vicinity equally as rich, —— . } Lyceum.—A lyceum has recently been started . by a number of young men of Nevada. They . meet every Saturday evening at Mr. Stratton’s . school room. We are pleased to see on the part of our young men this evidence of a disposition for the improvement of the mind, by) the eetablishment of literary institutions of this character. phrey have leased this well known and popular hotel, formerly kept by S.

There are several mills now in full operation. Mr. R. Keys & Brother’s mill, turned out thirteen hundred dollars in six days, with four stamps; the rock averaging one hundred dollars per ton; this mill is run by mule power. . Mr. G. Josselyn’s lead at Green Horn, is paying at the rate of two hundred, dollars per ton, with arastras. He will soon bave a mill completed. Mr Lightner has received machinery for a mill, and will soon commence operation. There are several others who have ordered machinery, which will be put in motion in a few weeks. The waterpower mills are at work and doing weli.— Mariposa Democrat, 22d Tne Norraeen TxLeGRapn.—This enterprise appears to he progressing rapidly.

He left Nevada immediately after his discharge and went to Grass valley, where he had the misfortune to be again charged with stealing, for which he was convieted of petty larceny, and was sentenced by Justice Spoffurd to imprisonment in the county jail for six months, It seems he went into a shooting gallery, and picked up a pistol which he carried off. He says he only took the pistol in joke, and that if he had had half a chance to have defended himself he might have cleared himself of the charge. Kelly is certainly an unfortunate man, He can consele himself with the reflection, however, that the county is responsible for his board.

Badlam, Jr., is our authorized agent in Sacramento City. ————————————————— NEVADA, WEDNESDAY, NOV. 4, 1857. noch ne 00ewrae” + 9) Lae TUTE 8 oO The Mormons Paeparing to Resist the U. 8. Troops. By the recent arrival at Los Angeles of an immigrant train, which came by the southern reute from Salt Lake, information of an important character has been received, touching the designs of the Mormons. From the statements of several gentlemen who came on in advance of the train, which we find published at length in the Los Angeles Star of the 17th and 24th ult., there is reason to believe that the Mormons design resisting the government troops now on their way to Utah; and it is quite certain that they are leagued with the Indians, for the purpose of annoying and robbing the immigrant trains that pass through their country. Mr. Honea says that at Fort Bridger the Mormons bad a large quantity of provisions stored, a considerable number of Indians were encamped around the fort, and the people generally spoke of resisting Gen, Harney. About thirty miles this side of the fort he met three companies, of one hundred men each, who were called the “army of observation.’’ One of these men told Mr. Honea that they were on their way to meet Harney, to see what he was coming for ; “if he is coming peaceably we will let him come, if not we will drive him back.’ Another spoke bitterly against all Federal officers; rejoiced that the time had come when the saints would be avenged on their enemies; that Harney and his 2,500 men would never enter Salt Lake city, He also said that Gov. Young had ordered the people to prepare for war. On the 17th of August, Mr. Hones passed through Salt Lake city, where he remained only three or four hours, While there he had a conversation with a gentile merchant, who stated that on the previous Sunday, Brigham Young had declared, in the Temple, that henceforth Utah was a seperate and independent Territory, and owed no obedience or allegiance to any laws but those of their own enactment, and called upon the people to stand together, and support him in maintaining the cause of God and the church. The Mormons cannot be so insane as to suppose they can successfully resist the authority of the Federal government, and the ides that they will attempt it seems almost incredible. They may easily repulse the small body of troops now on their way to Utab, but in driving them back, or offering any resistance to their occupation of the territory, they must be aware that they will bring upon themselves the vengeance of the Federal government, which it would be madness for them to brave. The Mormon leaders have the credit of being shrewd men, and they certainly must know how utterly futile all their attempts would be at resistance. Yet if there is any meaning whatever to be attached to the harrangues of Brigham Young, as published in the Mormon newspaper, be is gradually preparing the minds of his people to resist the government. The Mormon population is composed to @ great extent of ignorant foreigners, who know nothing of our institutions and laws, and it may be well enough for the goverument to teach them that there isa “higher Jaw” than that which issues from the mouth of their prophet. The Overland Mall Route. We have heard much inquiry during the past few weeks in regard to the overland mail route, from San Diego to San Antonio, Texas. From a letter recently received by a gentleman of this city, from the agent of the contractors, at San Diego, which has been kindly placed at our disposal, we gather some particulars in relation to the travel over this route not generally known, The stages run all the way from San Diego te San Antonio, and the travel is regular, particularly at this season of the year, when the rainy season is over in the Gadsden Purchase and New Mexico. At no season, however, need @ detention af more than one day be feared from high water. There is no danger from Indians, asa guard of eight men travel with each mail, besides passengers, On an average, a man can get four hours sleep each night, on the ground, . but in addition he can stretch himself out on the baggage while the stages are traveling, and sleep comfortably whenever he feels like it. The fatigue is next to nothing. Passengers cannot depend on reaching San Antonio in less than thirty days, which ia the echedule time, but may make it in twenty-six, as the company have constant relays. The price of passage from San Francisco to New Orleans, is two hundred dollars, the company finding the passengers in provisions as far as San Antonio. Passengers are allowed to carry twenty-five pounds of baggage, which must be in a carpetbag. At present the company do not care to carry over six passengers at a trip; but if eufficient inducements are offered the roate will be stocked for a larger number. Mr. Henry Reed acts as agent of the company atSan Francisco, and any information in regard to the travel on this route can be obtained from him. Tux Lats Steamenip Disaster.—One of the largest, most respectable, and earnest gatherings of citizens ever held in San Francisco, assembled at Musical Hall last Saturday evening. Resolutions were adopted expressive of the feelings of the people in regard to the late terrible disaster. After paying an appropriate tribute to the dead, and awarding the meed of praise to the gallnt men who periled their lives and vessels in their efforts to rescue the survivorsthe resolutions express the most deeided disapprobation of the heartless disregard of the lives and comfort of passengers displayed by the steamship companies. The carelessnese of the U. 8. M. steamship company is condemned as tittle less than a crime, and the Pacific steamship company was severely censured for using the steamers Panama and California, on this coast, The resolutions also suggested amendments to thg law regulating the inepection and provisioning of steamships. Tax Sramp Tax.—-The revenue derived from the stamp tax, for the four monthe ending October 31st, amounted to $42,436 98. At this rate the annual receipts from the stamp tax will exceed $127,000. We have never yet heard any compleiat of this tax being oppressive, to-day, The late Massacre on the PlainsAdditional e Particulars. By the arrival of immigrants at Los Angeles, we bave a fall confirmation of the late reported massacre of the immigrant train near the Santa Clara river, and some additional particulars of the outrage. It was known that another company was traveling a few days bebind the one that was massacred, and fears were entertained that they too would be cut off. This latter company, however, at last accounts had passed the dangerous portion of the road, and stopped to recuit their stock. They passed within a few miles of the place where the butchery occurred, and were subject to many annoyances from the Mormon interpreters whom they had hired to conduct them through the Indian country. The interpreters seemed to be on friendly terms with the Indians, and assisted them in levyiug contributions upon the immigrants’ An attack was made by the Indians upon the train, near the Muddy, and 326 head of cattle run off. At this point the interpreters left the train, and they had no further trouble with the Indians. It appears that from the time they left Salt Lake, the immigrants were more in fear of the interpreters than of the Indians, They managed to get through with their lives, but between the interpreters and Indians they lost a great share of their property. The train which was so cruelly massacred, was under the charge of Capt. Baker, from Carroll county, Arkansas; Mr. Silas Edwards, and Wm. Baker, son of the Captain, were also in the train. It is stated that Wm. Baker escaped froin the massacre, bnt was afterwards murdered on the Muddy by some Indians, inthe presence of three Mormons, who represented that they were unable to save his life. The fifteen children whose lives were saved, were taken to Cedar City, a Mormon town not far from the place of the massacre. The eldest of these iss little girl only six years old, and it was probably the intention not to spare the life of any one old enough to give any particulars of the butchery. The most probable reason assigned for the massacre, is this: The train stopped some weeks near Salt Lake City, and the men were very free in éxpressing their opinion of the Mormons. Feeling perfectly secure in their arms and oumbers, they are said to have been reckless, aud would commit little acts of annoyance for the purpose of provoking the Saints, and seemed to set at defiance all the powers that could be brought against them. These imprudences were doubtless the cause of the whole company, with the exception of the fifteen iufants, being slaughtered. <A portion of the property belonging to the company wasin possession of the Indians, anda Mormon elder was seen riding a horse which belonged to Mr. Silas Edwards. The Mormons were on the most friendly terms with the Indians, which goes far to implicate them iu this horrid work. The massacre occurred on on the 18th of September, about three huvdred . miles from Salt Lake, near the out-skirts of the . Sluicing Companies —A suit was commenced on Monday in the District Court of this county, the result of which will settle a question of great importance to miners. Messrs. Becker and otbers located certain mining claims in the bed of Wood’s Ravine, near this place, many months since, and held and worked the same as ravine or sluicing claims. A few weeks since Messrs. Lowell & Co. discovered and duly located a very Mormon settlements. One hundred and eighteen persons in all were murdered, of whom fifty-six were men, the others were women and children, Their bodies were left unburied. This cruel and sanguinary affair demands a searching investigation by the Federal government, in order that the perpetratora may be brought to punishment, The dangers to which the emigrants traveling over the Salt Luke route are exposed, are now fully known, and energetic and effectual measures must be addapted by the government to protect the lives aud property of its citizens upon this national highway. Serrovs Accipznt—Gross CareLessness,—A man named Solomon Bliler came near losing Butte county. It seems, says the Butte Record, that Bliler was writing ata table, and by the light of a candle stuck into a porter bottle for support, As the candle burnt down it fell into the bottle, and as it fell, ignited a quantity of powder, which had been placed ina ita long while before by one of the careless people about the premises. An explosion followed, and Bliler was severely hurt, his right eye much injured. It is feared that he will lose his right eye, though otherwise he is not dangerously injured The exploded bottle had been used as a candlestick for several weeks, charged with the powder all the time. E. A. Rowre.—This individual, who it will be remembered has been incarcerated for six or eight months on board the prison brig in Sacramento, for refusing to answer questions touching the disposition made of the money belonging to the State, made an unsuccessful attempt last Friday to get released. He signified his willingness to answer any question which might be propounded to him by the grand jury. He was accordingly taken before that, but in consequenoe of his unsatisfactory answers to some questions, aud his refusal to answer others, he was again remanded on board the brig. From Carson VaLuey.—lIntelligence bas been received from Carson Valley to the effect thas one of the Indians implicated in the murder of Williams aud McFarland, had been arrested by Col. Rogers’ party on Monday Oct. 26th. He was tried on Tuesday, and confexsed enough to convict him. Pending the vote as to his fate, he struck his guard and ran; he was shot twice while running, and died that night, The Iudian was known by the name of Charley, and was decoyed to the ranch of Mr. Thornton by Capt. Jim, of the Washo tribe. Sugrp on tue Nosix’s Rovre.—We learn from the Tehama Advocate that as immense number of sheep are coming into the Sacramento valley by the northern or Noble's route. Those who were in charge of the stock; say that at least 15,000 head of this kind of stock were within 150 miles of the valley. They have asa general thing been driven across without serious loss by disease or want of forage. Water and grass are abundant the most of the way, and more particularly on this end of the trip. Sonoma Dxmocrat.—We have received the first number of a new paper, printed at Santa Rosa, Sonoma county. with the above title, It is Democratic in politics, and published by Mr. A. W. Russell, formerly of Nevada, Mernopist Corsrences.—The Quarterly Conference ef the M. E. Church South, held its session at San Jose Oct. 3lst and Novy. lst. The Annual Conference meets atthe eame place his life about a week ago, near Spanish Town, . yemain in Nevada but two nights, reem te he doing a gond busines, ImportaxT Sutr.—Two suits were commenced on Friday last in the District Court, by Weaver and others against the Eureka Lake Company, . for the right to the water of the big lakes, above Eureka. The lakes afford a large quantity of water, and the right to its use is of course valuable. Mr. Weaver has his ditch completed to, Eureka, and the Lake Co. are vigorously prose. cuting the work on theirs, The latter company . are depending exclusively on the lakes for a— supply of water, and should they lose the suit. the money they have expended will be thrown . away. Weaver has a small supply of water in. dependent of the lakes. . . con ee LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Iuportaxt TO Miners—Quartz Campanies vs. rich quartz lead withir or on the ravine or éluicing claims. The former company bave brought an action of trespass against the latter named company, to recover the sum of five thousand dollars damages, and for a perpetual injunction against farther waste and trespass upon the lead or any part of plaintiffs’ claims. Does the location and appropriation of the bed of a stream or other mining ground, for sluicing purposes, exclude others from subsequently locating and working a quartz lead under, or running through such mining claims? This question will be fully tried in the above case, and is one likely often to recur in this vicinity. Sovru Yusa Drrcu.—This ditch has been so far . completed that the water from the South Yuba Creek, from whence it will be brought into Ne. vada by the Suow Mountain and other ditches. The water from the lakes waa let into the Yuba . river on Saturday last, and it was the design . to shut down the waste-gate on Mondvy, and conduct the water through the tunnel and from . thence into Deer Creek. The water will proba-. bly reach Nevada either to-day or to-morrow. . We hope soon to see the flush times we have all . been looking for, “when the Seuth Yuba Ditch is completed. ”’ New Quartz Mu.t.—Meesrs, Paul & Hoadley have commenced the erection of a quartz mill near the mouth of Deadwood Creek, about two and a half miles above Nevada, The foundation of the mill is laid, workmen are engaged in getting out timber for the frame, aud the machinery is now on the way up from Sacramento, and will probably all be on the ground to-day or te-morrow. The mill is designed to run twelve stamps, and it ie thought will be completed by the middle of December. Mr. Paul has had considerable experience in quartz miniog, and from our own knowledge of the leads in that section we are satisfied he bas selected a good locality for the erection of a mill, There are seven or eight leads within halfa mile of the mill site, which have been thoroughly prospected, and which have paid all the way from fifteen toa hundred and thirty dollars a ton, and doubtless many other leads will yet be discovered im the vicinity equally as rich, —— . } Lyceum.—A lyceum has recently been started . by a number of young men of Nevada.

We are pleased to see on the part of our young men this evidence of a disposition for the improvement of the mind, by) the eetablishment of literary institutions of this character. phrey have leased this well known and popular hotel, formerly kept by S. W. Grush. Having . been connected for some time with the establish. ment, they will not suffer the reputation of the . house to depreciate while in their keeping. .

There are several mills now in full operation. Mr. R. Keys & Brother’s mill, turned out thirteen hundred dollars in six days, with four stamps; the rock averaging one hundred dollars per ton; this mill is run by mule power. . Mr. G. Josselyn’s lead at Green Horn, is paying at the rate of two hundred, dollars per ton, with arastras. He will soon bave a mill completed. Mr Lightner has received machinery for a mill, and will soon commence operation. There are several others who have ordered machinery, which will be put in motion in a few weeks. The waterpower mills are at work and doing weli.— Mariposa Democrat, 22d Tne Norraeen TxLeGRapn.—This enterprise appears to he progressing rapidly.

He left Nevada immediately after his discharge and went to Grass valley, where he had the misfortune to be again charged with stealing, for which he was convieted of petty larceny, and was sentenced by Justice Spoffurd to imprisonment in the county jail for six months, It seems he went into a shooting gallery, and picked up a pistol which he carried off. He says he only took the pistol in joke, and that if he had had half a chance to have defended himself he might have cleared himself of the charge. Kelly is certainly an unfortunate man, He can consele himself with the reflection, however, that the county is responsible for his board.

This boulder weighed about two bundred and fifty pounds, and we hear was offered on Sunday last for one thousand dollars. Backen Dowy.—A large number of) people assembled at the Penn Valley track, last Saturday, to witness the great race between Gilfora and Salt Lake.

Johnson bas appointed Thursday, November 26th, to be observed throughout the State, as a day of thanksgiving. Catnamero.—We understand, says the Petaluma Journal, that the name of Russian river is an erroneous one, as applied to that fine stream running through the valley of the same name, aud that the inhabitants ef that district . have determined to give it ite original name of . ‘Cainamero,”’ which is that vy which the valley . was and is known by the aborigines.
