California Intelligence.

Irdian difficulties have so increased as to
demand call upon the military by the Gov
ernor. A battle had been fought in Maripo-
sa county between four hundred Indians ga
party Of fifty or sixty Americans, under the
command of Capt. James Bumey. The bat
tie was hard-fought one, and lasted three
hours. The Indians were driven from the
village, with loss of sixty killed and from
ten to twenty wounded. Eight Americans
were wounded, two of them mortally. AT
ter the battle, the Americans burned the vii
lage & retreated. They were pursued, and
constantly fired upon by the Indians, during
retreat of ten miles.
A party Of u men, working in Rattle
Snake Gulch, were attacked by the Indians,
and every man butchered in the most shock
ing manner.
A Mrs. Root, Of Sacramento City, under
took to clear for the States with $4,000 of
her husbands "dust"-got as far as the cab
in of vessel in San Fancisco harbor-was
caught and restored the plunder, and she and
her dear husband both came home together.
The Colorado river has been surveyed and
found capable of navigation for steamers
from its entrance into the Gulf Of California
up TO the junction Of the Gila.
Two adventurous gentlemen hai got in
from New Mexico with sheep for the mining
market; one drove of 5000 and another of
1000, They are purchased for about 81 pei
head, driven without much loss, and readily
sell for $l8 10 $40. Better than "Gold
Bluff"
This has been an unusually dry winter in
California, and mining has suffered for want
of rains in the "dry diggins."
The present debt of San Francisco is $780,

The New Constitution.

The labors Of the Constitutional Conven.
ton have al last been brought 10 close, and
lhe result-a new organic LAWS now or
soon will be before the people for their an.
proval or disapproyal. We have read the
whole very carefully once, parts of it seye-
raj times, and intend TO read and studv {,
sun more attentively. As whole, we are
nee 10 saythat we highly approve it, and in
cline to think that it is one of the best Slate
Constitutions in the Union. The SOVEREIGN.
y OF the people is fully recognized in the
oil OF rights; the judiciary system is calcu-
la'ed to further the ends of justice more el.
iec'ualiy and speedily than the present one j.;

any special corporate privileges, bat cor,o.

we were unable to give this important
document in to-day's paper, but hope our

we will present them with correct coov
winch we trust they will carefully read and
thoroughly consider.
Although we, with Others have somstiroos
complained little of the speechifyine ma

eration; and we are satisfied that the nro.
ceeedings Of that body contain much that is
valuable in regard to the nature. tendency
and workings of our free institutions. We
hope they will be printed in form
for preservation, as we should regard COPY.
as a valuable acquisition to any political
library. Upon the whole, and always ex-
cepting the recreancy of few so-called
democrats, we are disposed to give the mem.
berS of the convention much credit for their
labors, and hope, as public men, they may
never produce results which are less likely to
promote the general veal.

TO THE PUBLIC.

The Inquirer for One Dollar Year.
The proprietors of the Inquirer have the
pleasure OF informing the public that the
Fourth Volume will be furnished at ONE
DOLLAR IN ADVANCE.
This step has long been contemplated for
various good and sufficient reasons, among
which are the utter impossibility of collect.
ing numerous bills for subscription, owing
to the smallness Of their sums and the dis
tance of the creditors, without expending
tneir amounts, and, in some instances over
their amounts, for costs; the frequency of
persons removing from the country without
settling and the consequent loss of work. pa
per and ink. A newspaper is not sustained
oy those who merely take it, but by those
who both take and pay for it.
We have decided to try the experiment
with the conviction that if we receive that
liberal support which the cheapness of our
paper and our endeavors to make it infer.
esnng deserve, we shall be fully as well
compensated as under the present arrange
ment' and be rid of vast deal of trouble.
Those who have paid for the Fourth Vol
une, which commences three weeks from
To-Day shall receive the Inquirer at the
new rate, so there will be no unfairness
and those with whom we have regular &C
counts will oe charged at the new rate.
We should be glad to appoint one goot
democratic friend in each township wbc
VIII take an interest in increasing the circu.
latlon OF our paper, and act as our AGENT
Those who will volunteer as such shall be
enumerated for their services.
Democrats, if you desire the continuance
of paper devoted to your interests in tbi,
county, you must act, and promptly and en-.
ergetically act. Remember that after tbe
lst OF July the Inquirer will circulate free n
charge in the county and the entire cost will
therefore be but one dollar.
Who will send us the largest list of sub
scrlbers, and thus demonstrate their good
will TOR the democratic cause The In.
qulrer will duly acknowledge the favors thu
received.

Those who have watched the progress O
our place could not have failed to notice the
Improvements made in its mechanical de-
Ipartment. Among the labor-saving ma
chimes which have gone into operation lately
is Rhoades & Martins Planning Mill, which
planes, tongues and grooves four thousand
feet of flooring per day. This machine re-
ouires the attendance Of but two handsome
10 feed it, and another to carry away the
boards after they have passed throughit. In
the same room isa saw foi Sitting the boards
the proper width, requiring the attendance Of
one hand, and, perhaps, a boy.
In the same building, up stairs, Messrs.
J. B. & S. P. Nickells have just put in opera
ton machine for planning boards of any
size, and, also one for cutting tenants. What
is worthy of remark besides the speed with
which these machines execute the work, is
their remarkable precision.
The construction of the flooring machine
and that of Messrs. Nickells is not at all
alike, for while the bits of the former cut
lengthwise, those of the latter cut croSSwise
taking out in their operation all unevenness
or twists in the board, OR other timber.
Messrs. Nickells intend erecting other ma
chinery shortly, OF which we shall SPEAK
at the proper time.
We noticed, in our ramble up town that
the New Mill of Mr.. Terry is having an ad-
dition built to it, which is intended for Q
ware house. We were informed that the
Mill would be ready for operation in about Q
month.

A piece OF prepared rope and wire rope
