CoLoMA, UPPER CALIFORNIA,
Auril 2gth. 1899

~ pfll HJlns 1909.
The digging season is much later this year in
consequence OF the high state OF the rivers,
which have been continually rising for the last
two months, owing to the melting OF the large
quantities OF snow in the interior. 1t is said by
the miners, that there will be no good digging
until about the first of August, when the rivers
will be low. Then the sickly season commences,
and lasts three months. Another great and very
serious hlnderance TO the digging OF gold, is the
great hostility OF the Indians. In lact it is truly
alarming, especially TO inexperienced people =
there have been ten murders committed since
arrived in this place. Five were murdered in
one camp, and their bodies burned Within
day or two, three mer were killed within three
miles OF this place. After the murder OF the FIVE
men, who, by the way, were Oregonians, a body
oil men, composed mostly OF Oregonians started
out with their rifles in pursuit OF the Indians Al
ter one or two unsuccessful attempts, they at
length traced them out and tell upon the Chief
whom they found in woman's apparel. They
Immediately dispatched h.m by putting fourteen
balls through his body, and then made his wife
confess that he was the principal one engaged
and she also named others who were con-
cerned, and the gold and weapons that were
found corroborated her statement. Some fifty or
more, men, women and children, were taken and
brought in as prisoners. After a little while all
were released but seven. These it was voted to
shoot, and they were forthwith marched out for
execution. Before reaching the place Of execu.
ton, at signal from the head Indian, they star.
ted on the run, hen they were fired upon. Two
fell; one dead, the other with six balls through
him, aud was quickly dispatched with knite.-
The others ran, part Tor the mountains, and a
part Tor the river. One was shot on the edge OF
the river; another swan across, but was prevent
ed from landing by two men Who happened to be
there He then commenced swimming down
stream, like an otter, until a; length ball was
put through his head aud he disappeared 1t

p The Detroit Bulletin Says We have heard
the origin OF he rumor OF Gen. Taylor's death
accounted for in this manner A gentleman re.
siding in Pittsburg, an original Taylor man, who,
during the canvass, devoted himself aud money
to the interests of Gen. Taylor, as, while on
visit to Washington, assured personally, by the
President, that ii he Qhe Presidency was alive on
the 10Th July, he would appoint the said Pitts
burg gentleman to office, and that, about that
time, his commission would be forthcoming. The
twentieth OF July came and passed, but no com.
mission, nor tidings OF Gen. Taylor hence it was
reasonably inferred that the General was not alive
on the 10th, and the gentleman confidently com.
municated the news OF his death far and wide by
means OF the telegraph.

Prescription La Michigan.
To the Editor of the Union:


ANN ARBoR, (Michigan,) May 10, 1919.
Mr. Crane, our worthy postmaster, has been removed
to make room for small pattern Of abotonism-small
in mind and small in capability How has the mighty
fallen! Gen. Taylors popularity is dwindng down, and
it will be beautifully less. In year from this
time, his ultra cabinet will white his popularity down TO
the little end of nothing MIR. Crane was honest and
faithful in the performance of his duties All sat
isfed except The asprants for the Office Mr. Clark, the
new postmaster, is rank abotionst Last winter the
people complained loudly against Congress for uselessy
spending their precious time and money in debating abo
liton questions Mr. Clark said they could be better
employed than TO spend the balance OF the session de-
batting that subject This is sample of the gentleman's
ideas of legislation This same gentleman decidedly
opposed to the war, and prayed that General Taylor and
his men might find graves in Mexico When we have
any difficulty with foreign nations, this same gentleman
always take their part and pronounces judgment in ia
of every country but his own. Yet this the kind
of man whom the powers that be send for post
master.
All the abolition and free soil papers in this State have
died for want of support. Office all the leaders OF
this faction cared for This the extent of their phi
lanthropy-not one Of them would within odorous
distance of negro, give dollar for his emancipa-
ton These men have pracsed deception upon the
credulity of the people, and The poor smpetons who
voted for them may pocket the cheat Thus have
seen the beginning and the end of one of the worst
factions that ever disgraced State.

Commissioner Of Patents,

Edmund Burke, esq, the able, laborous, and popular
Commissioner of Patents has been removed and his place
filled by Thomas Ewbank. of New York, the author OF
valuable work on hydraulics That so prominent
democrat and politician Mr. Burke should be removed
by Gen. Taylor is no matter of surprise-the wonder
rather is, that his head should have been spared SO
long To get him oused has been a less difficult
matter than to agree upon successor; and even now
that one is appointed, he turns out to be very I'M
acceptable to his party and takes them entirely by
surprise The Tribune says We wanted also an
able politician and compiler of statistics bearing the
public policy OF the country, and this Mr. Ewbank has
yet to prove himself The wing party has had rabd
and dexerous adversary in that post for years past
we thought il had fair claim to effective supporter in
the same place, now that the wheel has revolved-a
right toa good Commissioners and something These
considerations have been disregaded in the selection of
Mr. Ewbank, who is only known, thus far, as master
of the history and philosophy of inventions"
The New York Commercial advertiser, steady going
old federal print says that the filling of this Office has
presented another surprise upon general expectation
the gentleman upon whom it has been conferred, Mr.
Ewbank, having never been even named in connection
with it, far our knowledge extends Gen Taylor
seems to be satisfying his political friends" the
