AFFAIRS IN CALIFORNIA.
San DIEGO HEADeyAErERs, Nov. rs, 1876.
we are still contending with the insurgents in this
march into the interior, and intend making our way
once more to the city Of the Angels distant from this
place one hundred and twenty miles.
The Caornians. since last wrote have placed them
selves under the command Of General Flores a Mexican
oihcer whom we had taken prisoner with q number OF
ether officers of Castros army all of whom were placed
on parole Of honor, and by their atrocious conduct
have again taken the field and forced into their service
hundreds who psrhaps preferred rema;nnr nr;et =,
their homes The result has been to give us much trou
BILE and annoyance. with the loss Of a few OF
y between the enemy and detachment the savan.
nah The expedition from the frigate Savannah was
been Of more favorable character. The advantages
were all on the enemys side, they being mounted
faced them on foot with small only is strange
how the party fom tue Savannah could think Of
getting into such snarl; fortunate indeed for them they
got out as well as they did. They met the Cafornians
on plain near Dsnngoa rancho, about half way from
Saa Pedro to the City of the Angels distant about fifteen
miles from the ship, and how they expected to overae
their foes who were horses with artillery and they
on foot with small arms, remains to be OWNED
This act has strengthened the courage of our
enemies, and deprived of most important re-
sources We formerly had. They we'll understand
the impossiblity Of our pursuing them to advantage
without horses and cattle. and have driven them all far
into the Interior that they have ii in their power
annoy and aunt us at pleasure, although now and
then get shot at them which leaves their number less
few horses have been captured in occasional Skin.

Their object was to cut off few Of the horses and cattle
az Warmers rancho and they partly succeeded in doing
so but unfortunately fell in with party of afornans
double their number who succeeded in killing of

watering his horse short distance from the main body
and was surprised by party Of eight hosemsn, who
rushed upon him with their spears. He succeeded how.
