LATER FROM THE INDIAN WAR-Col. Rogers
the we'll known sheriff of Ell Dorado county. ar
rived in city last night, direct from the scene
of difficulties. He states that the disturbances are
OF light nature, but that such is the condition of
things that promptness of action is requisite The
troops who had been collected the spur of the
moment, have had already four serous skrmishes,
besldes several others. Although sufficient in
number, they are not properly armed, and out
OF prov isions.
Col. Rogers has come down to confer with the
Governor upon steps proper to be taken
Our last news was the skirmsh in which Lieut.
Col. Mckinney was MORALLY wounded. Col Ro-
gers states that upon reception OF the news Of Col
McKinney's death, he pushed Immediately on with
his own command after another party of Indians,
who had committed deprcdations near Johnson's
ranch the day before. The Indians were found
and followed till dark. Rogers's party then en-
caInped, and started again at daylight on towards
Park Valley, near a place where 1t was supposed
the Indians would be found. On arriving at this
spot it was evident from the remains of fires that
the Indians had recently been there, but were

In parties, beaded by white men, and that they are
scattered all over the country between the south
forks of the American and the forks of the Maco-
suinnes.-Sacranento Transcript.
SANpRIcH ISLANDS -WHALEMEN.-The brig AL
media, which arrived last night from Lahaina, has
placed us in possession of the Poynesid of the 18th
of October. We cannot extract item from its
columns that would interest readers, but
would refer particularly to the large list of whale
men we publish this morning under the maritime
head in another column
During the months of September and October
there arrived in the port of Lahana fifty American
whalers every one of which was loaded to its ut
most capacity with oil and bone. The season is
represented To have been one of extraordinary sue
cess to all the vessels thus far heard from. The
amount of oil board those vessels reported at La
haina reaches one hundred and eleven thousand
barrels of whale, and eleven thousand sperm. The
quantity of bone can hardly be enumerated. Al
Honolulu the same influx OF whalers is observed,
though our reports from that port not com
pete those from Lahaina.
