The MASSACRE IN CALIroRNIA.-We ex.
tract from the San Francisco Herald, the fol-
lowing account OF the massacre in California,
already announced by telegraph;
We learn of the killing of nearly one hum
dred and fifty Indians by a company of citizens
of Trinity county under the command of Sher-
iff Dixon, recently. ltwas supposed that these
were tue Indians, who murdered MIR. Anderson
a short time since. The following is the ac-
court of The affair ;-"The company that went
in pursuit Of the Indians returned to-day, hay-
ing been absent just a week. They had little
difficulty in following the trail. The loot
prints of the cattle which the Indians had dri-
ven off with them, together with portions Of the
clothing of the deceased, which they had found
scattered along the way, and were readily
recognized by his son, who was IN the COM
pany, showed unmistakable signs OF the path
| of those whom they were pursuing. But II
was necessary to proceed with great caution.
in order not to alarm the savages, and accor-
| dinghy the party generally laid by during the
day, sending spies ahead and travelling by
night. On Thursday afternoon, the I'D ult..
| the scouts discovered the rancheria, in a small
valley at the base of three mountains on the
south side of the South Fork of Trinity River
AT midnight the company started from their en-
campment, Captain Dixon having divided his
force into three parties, so as TO come upon
the Indians from different quarters and sur.
round them. When day broke, all parties
were in the desired position, and on the signal
being given, the attack was commenced
Each rife markell its victim with unerring pre-
cislon-the pistol and the knife completed the
| work of destruction and revenge, aUi IN fe@
| brlef moments all was over. OF the one hun.
dred and fifty Indians that constituted tue ran-
cheria only two or three escaped, and those
| were supposed to be dangerously wounded; so
| that, probably, not one of those engaged in the
murder OF the unfortunate Anderson, now re-
mains alive. Men, women and children all
| shared the same fate; none were spared, ex-
| cept one woman and two children, who were
brought back prisoners.
Such wholesale murder as the above, finds no
palliation or excuse. The massacre of women
and children, TO say nothing of the men, would
disgrace any race of savages under the sun.
Mrs. PARTINGToN AGAIN.-MIs. Parting.
ton has walked up again, and gives her opinion
on fashionable diseases through the columns
of the Boston Carpet Bag. The old lady is
quite happy in her satirical remarks and we
commend her to the notice of those unfortu-
mates who are always "poorly."
DloEdsCo 10 fCt NdiiOuS Salu WIS. dit-
ington, she returned from a street door con-
versation with DIR. Bolus. 1.-THE docter tells
me that poor old Mrs. Haze has got two buck
les on her lungs! 1t is dreadful to think of,
declare. The disease is so various! ono way
we hear of peoples dying OF hermitage of the
| lungs, another way of the brown creatures;
here thev tell US of the elementary canal being
out :order, and there about tonsors of the
| throat; here we hear of neurology in the head,
there Of an embargo; one side OF US we hear of
| men being killed by getting a pound tough
beef in the sarcofagus, and there another kills
| himselfby discovering his jooular vein. Things
change so, that declare don't know how to
subscribe for any disease now a-days. New
names and new nostris takes the place of the
old, and | might as well throw my old herb
bag away" Fifteen minutes afterwards Isaac
had that herb bag for target, and broke three
squares of glass in the cellar window in try
| ing to hit it, before the old lady knew what he
| was about She didn't mean exactly what she
said"

to the claimants, if Ne may judge from the
