- Expulsion OF THE CHiNEsE.-From the cor
.respondence of the Sacramento Union, we learn
that the expulsion of the Chinese gold dlggers
has commenced in the interior The following
is the letter:
MoaMoS BAR. North Fork, Am. River,
$s Sunday, May I'd, 1852.
Messrs. Editors: The excitement in regard to
the Chinese is rapidly extending along the North
Fork Of the American River, and daily exSpu-
sions are taking place. This morning some sixty
Americans ranged down the river some four
miles driving oftwo hundred, quietly removing
the tents, strictly respecting their persons and
property, except in one instance, when Celes-
stiaI seemed inclined to be s"obstreperous" his
cradle was thrown into the rive. Tee same COM
spany intend to proceed en- masse to Horse Shoe
Bar this afternoon, to concert measures with the
miners, there to start some four hundred oca-5
ted at that place. A band Of music is engaged
TO accompany the expedition.
The feeling is strong, and anything but evan
sescent, that selfprotection as first law OF ma
tnre must and shall be enforced Would it not
5be well foryour city government to take some
action on the subject; for you will certainly have
q food Of them from above and belowy you soon.
There is but one opinion among the miners IN
regard to the proposed monopoles and lmporta-
ionsof Chinese into the mines and nearly all of
the eighty or ninety thousand American miners
are fully determined to submit no longer to have.
the public lands robbed Of their only treasure.
Yours, in haste, as I accompany the expedition
down the river.
The citizens of San Francisco have memorial
zed the Legislature in favor of the Chinese. The
memorial says:
That the emigration of the Chinese to this
country is productive of great profit to us, and we
believe Of great benefit to the mining and agri-
cultural interests in our State; that they are
peaceable, industrious and law obpying people
that many of them are merchants and citizens
Of respectable standing and considerable capita,
in California; that we believe, from what some
of us know who have lived in China, that the re-
sfex action of the gold mines Of California, and
the system of American free principles of gov
! ernment and trade, witnessed by these people in
our midst, will be in the highest degree bene6-
cial to the enlightening and liberalizing OF Asa;
and particularly of the immense Empire OF Chi
ma lying within thirty-fye days distance from
!: our shores, and nearly as large as our country,
and containing over 25O millions Of men of high
{ II civilized habits, of Immense trade and com
merce, and capable of indefinite extension and.
! expansion.
That this trade and commerce, by kindness,
liberalty and generous dealings, willin a few
years, under the guidance Of our energetic and
enterprising country men, pass through the gold
en- gates Of San Francisco, and the golden hills
Of California, enriching this State to an extent
unconceiyed now by our living citizens. That
if we check or damage this system, just now in
ITS infancy, by establishing ignorant or hasty
. laws and restrictions, we may injure ourselves to
degree only reparable by years of ceaseess
longings, ofwearying desires, Of that which we
had destroyed by our folly-so common in the
affairs of States and of men, and well known in
Z the experience of this California.

fifty Indians by a company Of citizens of Trinity

affair .The company that went in pursuit Of
the Indians returned to-day, having been absent
Just week. They had little difficulty in fol-
lowing the trail. The foot prints of the cattle
: which the Indians had driven off with them, to-
gether with portions Of clothing Of the deceased;
which they had found scattered along the way,
and were readily recognized by his son who was
in the company, showed unmistakeable signs of
hepath Of those whom they were pursuing

ton in order not to alarm the savages, and ac-
cordingly the party generally laid by during the
day, sending spies ahead and travelling by night.
On Thursday afternoon, the 22d ult. the scouts
discovered the ranchera in a small valley at the
base ef shsee South Fork Of
Trinity river. At midnight the company started
from their encampment, Capt. Dixon having d.
vided 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
