OUTRAGE UPoN INDIANs.-The
papers of the States (and indeed
throughout California especially have
tcemed with accounts of Indian OUT
RACES" committed upon whites until
the caption has become stereotyped
phrase. But we are credibly inform
ed that but a few days ago a white
man in the neighborhood of Steep
Hollow, whose name is only known
as Charley" forcibly carried off a
woman belonging to Wallupi's (Gau-
daloupe's) branch Of Wemeh's tribe
in sight of her companions. Com
plant was made by the chief to the
Government Agent, and to the magis-
trates of the vicinity who are making
efforts to return the woman to her
tribe, and punish the depredator
Unless the whites will respect the
rights Of the Indians, what reliance
can we place upon their good faith in
keeping treaties A few months ago
upon legal demand, an Indian of
this same tribe, who was accused Of
murdering.a white man was given up
by Wemeh, tried before magis-
trate's court and hung in presence of
the tribe, by the people. The Indians
acquiesced in this decision and conse-
quent punishment, and realised its jus
tice: They are desirous of cultivating
friendly relations with the whites-but
if we allow abandoned and reckless
white men to perpetrate such wanton
outrages, we can only hope fer a contin-
ual series of retaliations, which will end
in a bloody war.

DIVISION OF THE STATE.-It will be
seen by report in another place, that
the South is moving with a will in the
measure of division of the state. The
statement of taxes found in the Los An.
geles Star, is accompanied by that Of
the possessions of some Of the indiyidu-
ais taxed. We do not see that the case
is very pitia BILE of a man being required
to pay the tax assessed on the Hon. Abel
Stearns, who holds the patriarchal for
tune Of 10000 horned cattle, 800 horses,
2000 sheep, and 10000 acres Of Hand
If an individual holding so much actual
property is unable to pay the sum of
$l3S6, small per ecntage on the real
value, then legislation which tends to
distribute the property to more produc-
tive hands, by the enforcement of q
reasonable and legitimate tax, should
certainly DO persisted in. We have no
patience for that system Of monopoly
which was created by the reckless
grants made by the Spanish govern
ments in obedience to the dictates of
foudal custom, which bestows upon an
individual leagues of estate, and leaves
the mass tillers and delivers for others,
themselves landless. And these overs
grown estates should be brought to the
test of republican, democratic, laws and
if they will not stand the test, let them
tall in pieces and resolve into the hands
of enterprising small proprietors, who
will develope their resources, and pay
the state the due taxes. The wise poll
cy of the American government in the
disposal of the rich lands in its possess
sion, is to secure their passage in limited
quantities into the hands of actual set
tiers, thus laying the foundation for an
equal distribution of future wealth, and
placing an effeetual bar upon the origin
alton of any system of peonage.

HEALTH. OF NEvADA.-We G under~
stand that an impression has obtained
below that there is at present in Ne
vada, and has been for some tins past
very considerable sickness, so that
some have been deferred from coming
here. The health of the whole min
ing region has not been good during
the summer months, though for the
last year, taking cholera and other fear
full maladies into consideration, which
have prevailed in the lower cities, the
mining regions have been the most
healthy. Along the Yubas and the
more northern regions, on the Ameri
can and Bear rivers, and at Nevada
the prevailing sickness has been Fry
sipelas, rather in the form Of an cpl
demic, yielding readily to mild treat
ment, and by no means a dangerous
disease if properly managed. But
the past month has witnessed great
especially in this. city,
for the rate of sickness has decreased
third, and the bill of mortality is not
greater than that of San Francisco,
Sacramento, or Stockton. In Nevada
we have naturally the .urcst air that
ever swept over a mountain country
and the clearest water, gushing from
native springs. We are not exposed
to the withering heats of the plain cit
les, or to the chilly winds that come
howhng from the ocean at San Fran
cisco, filling the atmosphere with floats
ing particles of dust, and changing the
temperature instantly from July heats
to the heart of December. In winter
there is no healthier location in Cali
fornia than Nevada city, and we have
to congratulate ourselves that we are
high enough in the mountains to be
out of the way of those "visitations Of
God" which decimated the people,
and made desolate the streets of our
unfortunate sister cities. We trust we
shall be as fortunate in the future
Our citizens need caution in exposure,
for in mining life, more than half the
mortality is caused by imprudent hab-
its.
