Three quarters oil the streets are lined sy.;n
with fluctuations, although not four week,
have elapsed since the fire. So too is il Of
Stockton; accounts from there are very en-.
couraging. Her people have not beeo
disheartened by their great calamity, but

Indian Afnrs.-The volunteers who, IN
der Col. Rogers, were engaged in suppress
sing The Indian oulrnges had been bur
partially successful. \ letter IN the Placer
Tunes, dated Diamond Springs, May 25rb,
says, a member of company B arrived this
forenoon direct from The seat Of war. He
reports that his company artac ked the Indian
Ranchero on the South Fork of the Ameri-
can. and after desul,ory cohict Of several
hours re'reared with the loss of killed and
wounded-one MORALLY. The Indians
assemble there in a large number and fought
with bo!dness.
The conduct Of the troops engaged is said
to have been marked with much EN- husiasm
and courage. They had taken out no proyi,
sions nor provided with reInfOrcpmen,s.
consequently they were compelled To re .reat
under cover Of night Twelve Indians GER
tainy were killed. All our men that were
killed OF wounded are from this place. The
one killed was Edward jerks, from Roscoe
H.; MORALLY wounded VIM. Nickoys:
severely Marron James aud Richard Thom-
as. Undoubtedly the Indians are elared at
what they considereda repulse of the whites.
and the moral effect upon our forces cannot
he very encouraging.
