FIFTEEN AMERICANS KILLED.-From
the Stockton Journal Of Wednesday, the
9th November, we learn that there had
been a fight between the Indians and
Americans, in the vicinity of Mokelumne
Hill, in which fifteen Of the latter were
killed, and probably as many Of the
Indians.
There had been battle between the
force under the command Of fGel. More
head and the Youma Indians, near Col.
orado city on the Gila, il which the
General, after one hour and half
fighting, was glad to retreat beneath the
guns Of the little fort, the Indians having
lost ten men. The American force
under Morehead was l04, their loss
not stated. Subsequently they had
completely vanquishedthe Indians, none
being found within fifty miles Of the old
planting grounds,
LARGEST YET.-Two gentlemen Of
our acquaintance passed this city few
days since, on their way to New York,
with an amount Of gold which we believe
to be unequalled in the records Of indid-
ual success in mining. They had with
them dust TO the value Of $l50,000,
all obtained during the summer time
1Iff1fooGatgo claims on the Yuba river.
These lucky individuals are MessFs.
Thomas ]. and Danl. H. Furguson,
formerly Of Danbury. Conn. They
carried their treasure 10 Benecia
upon the mules which brought it
from the mountains, and il is prob
ably the heaviest importation that
will be made for some time into the
grand port Of entry.-Pldcer Times.
From her Britanic Majesty's Con-
sui, we learn that the British ship
Prince Albert, which sailed from
Newport on the 10Th OF July, for
California, with a cargo Of Goals,
was wrecked in the Straits Of Mag
J elan, on the 7th OF October, near
Sandy Bay. Two of the crew were
killed by the Indians and one sp-
prentice was badly wounded. The
remainder Of the crew escaped
The captain, John Rossiter, with the
rest Of the crew, walked to Sandy
Bay, $50 miles. Thence some Of
them returned 10 the ship in the
American steamer w. G. Hunt, and
they found the Indians plundering
the wreck. The crew Of the steam
er fired on the savages, drove them
away, and rescued the two pris-
oners.
The news by the Georgia has nd-
ded 10 the buOyancy Of the money
and stock markets, and at New York
counteracied the influence Of the in
creased demand for money, which
was just beginning to be felt in con-
sequence of the importations now
landing. It appears that over lour
millions Of dollars in gold dust had
been brought down to Panama by
the steamers,a great portion Of which
came in the Crescent City. We
may look for between two and three
millions more BY the next semi
monthly steamers, which will end
the heavy returns until after another
winter has passed.
