Summary OF this Mornings News.
The steamship Prometheus arrived here yester-
day, from San Juan de Nicaragua, bringing two
weeks later news from California. The details Of
this intelligence will be found at length in another
part Of this days HERALD.
We learn, by this arrival, the discovery of new
and very valuable deposits of gold in Mariposa
county, which for richness excel any that were
previously known. We learn that the discoveries
were made by few Mexcans, who, in very short
time, and before the American miners heard Of il,
extracted quarter of million Of dollars worth Of
gold duet !rem very small area. II this ne ws is
true-and there appears to be doubt ofits anthem

miner the shining and precious METAL in quantities
sufhcient to satisfy the most avaricous California,

that they have been badly treated by the white
settlers, especially by the emgrants from Oregon,
who have always looked upon the Indians SIS enc
mics, and fred upon and killed them without re-
morse At ali events, the two races never have
agreed, and it is the red mans fate to disappear
before mis- white brethren.
