CALIFORNIA Observation-Disclosures
FIGnrING INDIAMs.-The Little Rock
(Ark.) Democrat, of the 18th, has intelli-
gence from 800 California emigrants, $50
miles on the way beyond Fort Smith, and
says:
An Indian coming into Fort Smith re-
ported that one Of the companies that start
ed some time since, composed principally
of Kentuckians, had fight with band Of
Camanches and whipped them. There
were many reports in circulation about In
dian fights, but they were not believed on
the frontier.
Letters from California abound Just now,
merely recounting for the most part the
high price of every thing. A letter re-
ceived at Boston, dated March 9th, how
ever, says:
/ found M. Robert A Parker, son ofthe
wharfinger of the city wharf, the richest
man here, worth over three hundred thou
sand dollars, which he has made in three
years.
Gold has been bought for SIS. have
seen pieces from one-eighth of an ounce
to fifteen pounds of pure gold.
If had small steamboat here | could
make $50, 900 per month.
l would not allow my wife and children
to come to this country on any account
whatever. If it was not for the gold, no
one could live here. Those who have
cracked it up as being such fine country,
are a set ofrascally liars.
AS regards the quantity ofgold yet to be
dug, it is estimated that five hundred
thousand men could not dig over the ex-
Re vt of the gold region in ten years.
A small room, ten by fourteen feet, rents
for 500 per month. About one half the
people live in tents, being unable to obtain
other shelter. And now, if you wish to
see California, and make handsome for
tune in the meantime, load either the c.
or B as soon as possible with six or
eight light frame houses, with sufficient
quantities of lime, bricks, laths, clapboards,
and lumber for the completion ofthe whole.
The doors and windows should all be made
and packed in Boston, and everything that
is required for building the houses should
come with them. Lumber is selling for
5000 per thousand, and it will be impos-
sible to supply the demand for two Or three
years to come.
Captain Crosby is here from Oregon,
and has made fortune. Parker, the Bos-
ton boy is coming home soon.

mounted force at Fort Brown. The loss
of property is immense. One gentleman
has lost 10 horses. The men have been
killed and the women and children carried
into captivity.
General Albalos, military commander at
Matamoras, was called upon by the civil
authorities of Brownsville, for the assistance
of his mounted dragons. His answer was
that he was ready to furnish all the force
at his disposal, if authorized by the COM
mandent of the Texan department to cross
the frontier. The latter refused. In a
few hours large body of Mexican caval-
ry appeared on the opposite bank of the
river, awaiting permission to cross.
The whole American population in the
valley of the Rio Grande, are in state Of
extreme agitation.
Accounts from San Fernando, in West
ern Texas, brings the information that Maj
Berry and his party have been cut to pieces
by the Indians. They were attacked $50
miles beyond the hacienda of San Juan de
Jenda, and all murdered but one prisoner.
The ravages Of the cholera at San Anto-
MIA are most awful. The whole number Of
deaths is not short of 800. The disease
has broken out in the camp of the Sd in
fantry, and in the quartermaster's encamp-
ment on the Solado, where many were
dying.

GUNPowDER VS.. CHOLERA When the
cholera visited London in 1882 and '33
the city authorities had small quantities
of gunpowder tied tightly in strong pa
per and fired in the alleys and densely
populated portions of the great metropo-
lis. The conclusion disturbed the air,
and the odor from the powder displaced
obnoxious effluv,a and purified the atmos
phere. 1t was used IN theatres, church
es and school-rooms, and was found to
be powerful dsinfecting agent, the
smell remaining upwards OF "a hours in
the buildings. 1t was used in the laza-
rettos of Trieste and Malta; and was tried
in Paris in 1888, and also in Montreal
In the latter city cannon were placed in
the arrow streets and fred with blank
cartridges. In some of the western
towns recently afflicted, the same reme-
dy has been tried with success.

THE CHoLERA.-Two fatal cases of chol-
era were reported to have occurred in Bal
timore on Wednesday, but the papers of
yesterday express doubts as to the charac-
ter Of the disease in the cases referred to.
There is no doubt however, but that it is
in Philadelphia; it is also reported to be on
the lower part of the Eastern Shore, and in
Norfolk and Richmond in Va.
Certain it is that it is approaching from
all sides, and with this knowledge especial
care should be taken to ward off its attacks.
We understand that the Town Commits
sioners have talked of enforcing some ordi-
nance to effect the removal of every spe-
cies of filth or nuisance, which may tend to
endanger the health of the town. We
respectfully suggest that in times like these
there should be no delay, but the proper
steps should be at once taken-not next
week, but to-day.

TIDE WATER CANAL.-The American OF
this morning gives prompt and positive
contradiction of the Geographic despatch
from Columbia, (Pa.,) respecting the alleg-
ed destruction Of the Canal aqueduct at
Rock run, and that three Or four weeks
would be required for its repair. On the
day ofthe date of the despatch, the Canal
was in the best Manageable order throughout
its entire line. On the 22d there was a
breach in the aqueduct, but it was fully
repaired by the following morning, and the
business of the Canal has since gone for
ward without any delay whatever.

REMoyALs.-One general cry rings out
from the locotoco press of the count.-. One
continued Jeremiade fills the columns of
the Washington Union, and its echo is ia
ken up and the sound prolonged by all the
minor organs of the party. 1t is note of
lamentation for the tallen-a beseeching
cry for sympathy in this, their day of trib-
ulation. Poor fellows! would that we
could condole with them, and drop a tear
Or two at their multiplied misfortunes.
But, seriously; this unmeasured railing
at the President and his cabinet for remov-
ing locotocos from Office, is beginning to
need rabuke. One of them wrote to the
Secretary of War, that he claimed q legally
to hold life estate in his appointment, :"
and thousands over the country have acted
as though they held the same claim. Long
the dominant party, nearly every office in
the gift Of the government, worthy of at
tention, has been in the hands of its bitter
est partizans, and relying upon the hold
they had upon the minds Of the people, for
continued power, they had grown insolent
in their places, and often set at equal de-
fance duty, propricty and law. And now
that the Wing guillotnc Is decapitating
them-all too slowly though it bc-the
injured innocents shrek out in doleful COM
plant, and cast into the teeth of Gen. Tav-
lor, that he promised there should be e no
prescription for opinions sake" Do they
forget that the wing party has been pro-
scribed for years, and that they must be
removed that prescription for opinion sake
may cease. Still, it is not on this ground
that they are removed, nor for their opin-
ions, but their acts. Let us look at an ex-
ample. The postmaster at D., for in
stance, has been removed, and there is
great cutlery made about prescription in his
case. Sitting securely in the office some
twenty five OR thirty years, he and his
friends could not bring themselves to APP
preciate the beauties of the practical work.
ings of the doctrine of rotation, and their
complaints are piteous, and their denunci-
atoms furious; but let us enquire how he
acfed-whethcr he stood aloof from party
politics. Let his friends answer the fol-
lowing questions.
Was he not while in office an open and
active partizan, SO far as he had the capa-
city?
Did he not on election days, close his Of
fee and NEEDLE with doubtful voters, with
a view to influence them to vote the loco
ioco ticket!
Had he not, to the inconvenience of the
public, on different occasions shut his office,
to 60 into the country to bring voters to the
polls
Did he not previously to elections, allow
weekly bundles OF locofoco papers to come
through his office, unopened and without
charge?
Setting law at defiance, did he not refuse
to give the post-office advertising to the pa
per having the largest circulation, because
it was opposed to him in politics!

The Work goes On.

The news from the Old World (says
the N. Y. Tribune will send fever of
excitement through this country. Since
the beginning Of the revolution, Europe
has not presented so deeply convulsive
an aspect as now. Hitherto the bait lie
has seemed 10 rage at some single point
and TO change from region to region,
now 1t has become omnipresent. We
see there whole continent in the pangs
Of dissolution, throwing off by mighty
and terrible fever fits the false order,
effete institutions, dead folms, outworn
privileges and deep-srated wrongs which
ages had fixed on the People, and selfish
fools thought to preserve.
In France, the centre OF the social
war, the hostility has come near break
ing out between the soldiers and the Off
GERS, as some say, because theYSocialists
have corrupted the former. But do they
who say this not know that the soldiers
are of the People, and must IN time hold
the same ideas and purposes!
Rome has repealed the French interven
ton, and added TO the Gallo tri.color,
that once foated in Italian air for anotl,
er end, disgrace which it now deserved
and which subsequent triumph ag ainst
the Roman Republic can only deepen.
In Germany there are instructions;
long days OF bloody fighting in the
streets OF the beautiful city of ORES den,
of fighting not yet ended; in other places out
breaks partially put down, but everywhere the
revolutionary earthquake waiting only for its
signal to shake the whole superintendent mas y
of things. What rouses Germany now is the
question of National Unity. The Frankfort
Parliament may have secured shadow, but it
had the whole people behind it, and its wor k
will never be allowed to fall to the ground.
Meantime Germany continues victorious in
S;hleswg; that will only help the Reyoiu-
toh.
Still Magyars hold their ground, and lanncl,
defiance, not only at Austria, which they ha
beaten, but at Russia, whose ho,des are pouring
down upon them. In Galcia the elements are
prepared, and Poland only hides her hour.
France and England lay protest against the Rus
sian intervention. Protest here means armed
opposition.
The European war is thus begun, the third
act Of the revolution has opened. When will
the curtain fall upon its catastrophe, and the
embattled nations, having buried the remains Of
Kings and Of all Aristocracies, return in peace
TO their homes
