McClatchy and the other prisoner were arrested
yesterday afternoon, and brought before Judge
Fake, charged with rebellion against the laws and
authority of the State They were present at a
squatter meeting the night before, at which revo-
! lutionary sentiments were promulgated. They
were placed on board the prison brig last night,
and this has caused the excitement.
| Mr.. McCune, the county attorney, is also under
arrest on a similar charge. His trial will come of
this afternoon. We understand warrant is out
for DR.. Robinson, but he had not been arrested last
evening.
First, the souatters went to Suffers Lake, and
tried to hire men at dollar hour to remove some
lumber. They did not succeed in their purpose,
and then went upon J street, corner OF I'd. Rob
nson the leader of the squatters was shot through
the head. His horse was first killed under HIM
Several Of the squatters were killed and wounded.
Their ranks were swollen, from the sixty first en-
galad in the afIray, to a body OF armed men, num-
bering between seven and eight hundred, before
the Senator left. The keepers of gaming houses
and sporting men generally sided with the real
estate owners, or citizens proper. a tremendous
, force was fast accommodating.
| A letter was received here, which we have seen
requesting Mr.. Howard of the Guards, to send up
firearms by the return boat and at two o'clock this
morning Messrs. EIeard u Beers started on an
express to the Governor at San jose

ters from the Pacific News:
The mining operations are progressing with zeal
and energy, and yielding good return for labor
and investment Heretofore the surface of the
gold region only has been gone over; but latterly
the miners are resortlng TO the use OF machinery,
and the depth Of the earth and the mountains are
being made to yield their quota of treasures Com.
panIes are branching out IN every direction, and
are going to work systematically and with energy.
Where operations have progressed far enough to
test the working, success has generally crowned
their efforts.
" The operation of dammng the rivers and streams
is still going on, and when once turned from their
main CHANNEL a rich harvest is anticipated, and no
doubt will be realized. Some of the locations are
N known to be exceedingly rich in Oro
The difficulties which have existed at the South
ia ern Mines between the Americans and foreigners,
and which have resulted in no little bloodshed,
have finally subsided, and peace is again restored.
| In consequence of these outbreaks and murders,
large parties of foreigners had left the country and
hus deprived the State Of the benefit of the Foreign
i Miners ETaI. However, we are glad to be able
to state that reaction has taken place, and that

possible and we shall, no doubt, very soon be II
