FIFTEEN AMERICANS KILLED ny INDIANS. From
the Stockton Journal, of Wednesday, the 9th No
vember, we learn that there has been fight be-
tween the Indians and Americans, i'll the vicinity
of Mokelumne Hill, in which fifteen of the latter
were killed, and probably many of the Indians.
This news was confirmed in Stockton Yesterday
morning, we have been informed, by gentleman
Just from that place. The Indians thought to
be those driven from the Upper Sacramento by the
force under Colonel Rogers. We hope and believe
that the story has been exaggerated by those bring
ing it.--Ana California.
The RICHES OF CALFoRNIA. Nothing Is more
foolish, in mind, than TO get up such big sto-
ries of extraordinary discoveries Of gold III this
country, as have often been published in the col
umns of some of our contemporaries. The wealth
of California ID incalculabe, to be sure, but it is
wrong to convey the impression that man may
get rich in day from it. Tell the farmer, or the
mechanic, the latorer that he may acquire In
five years, by industry and prudence, fortune, or
even competence and we will ind our new State
increasing rapidly in population as is at all de-
sirable-hlling up, not with rowing, speculative
population, but with men such as always form the
bone and snew of a new State--iarmers mechan-
les and manuiac turers. Our mines, we verify be
lieve will yield to the industrious aboref more
wealth in year than he can acquire iii twenty
in the Atlantic Staies-and this fact well attested
him, is sufficient inducement, if he has means,
TO the ties that bind him To a life of toll AT
home, and to bury himself, for short period, in
the deep canons of the mountains of California or,
beneath the scorchlng rays of the sun, TO hall
drown himself in the cold waters of the Sacramen
to.-San Francisco Courier.
