The CHINESE D1FF1cuLTtEs.-The prin.
cipal feature of the news is relative to the
difficulties between the native miners and
the Chinese, in relation to which the AL
ia California, of the latest date, remarks !:
The excitement in many parts of the
mines, in opposition to the Chinese labor
among our mountains, is evidently an the
increase. Mass meetings have been held
at the North and South, corresponding
committees appointed, and, in general,
steps taken to clear the entire mining re-
gions of the Celestials.
From statistics carefully prepared, it
appears that the number of Chinese popu-
lation may be set down in round numbers
at 1900. Of these, seven only are wo-
men. In addition to this, large numbers
are expected. 1t is proposed, in May
portions of the mines, to sell their claims,
give them the proceeds, and tell them to
leave. The Chinese are of mild charac-
ter, and should the Americans push mat
ters to the extreme, it is not anticipated
that much or any bloodshcd will ensue.
The Alta Californian says that some Of
the leading and most intelligent of the
Chinese residents have transmitted circu
lars to their countrymen at home, advi-
sing them of the severe measures which
have been adopted throughout the interi-
or to drive them from the mines, and war
ming them 10 cease emigrating to Califor
MIA, as they will no longer be welcomed.
A meeting was held at Forests Bar,
on the 22d of May, to receive the report
Of the committee appointed at a previous
deputcd to request the China
men to leave the diggings. The commit
tee reported that the Chinese received
them respectfully, but made no reply to
the communication.
A difficulty occurred at Atchison's Bar,
between a party of thirty Americans and
Europeans, and one hundred and fifty
Cinnamon. in which the former were sue
cessful, having succeeded in routing the
Chinese, and driving them away from the
Bar.
From TIE MINEs.-In relation to the
general prospects in the mining districts,
the Sacramento Union remarks:
The advices from all parts are highly
favorable. The miners are very general
ly receiving fair remuuerations for their
labor, and while there are fewer instances
of extraordinary individual fortune, the
average yield per man is evidently in
creasing by the application of science and
well constructed machinery.
Instead of the occupation being as for.
merly, kind of rowing hap-hazard excur-
Us
innate pursuit, upon which men enter
with the same views of permanency and
system, as upon any other avocatlon in
life. In placer, or surface mines, which
two years ago, with the imperfect machi-
merry then in use, would not have yielded
an income equal to the expense of living,
miners are now making from four to ten
dollars per day. Earth that will not yield
two cents per bushcl, or in mining phra-
scoogy, cent a bucket, can be very pro-
titably worked.
INDIAN ArFAIRs-A letter dated at the
South Fork of Feather river, on the 9th
of May, says:
With regard to Indian difficulties, the
natives have been severely handled of
late, that they now deliver up tho muir
derers, which will doubtless go far to pre-
vent the indiscriminate butchering of In
dams disposed to be friendly, for the vii
lainy of few. A case of this kind lately
occurred at Stringtown. Two Indians
who had murdered whites, were given up
by the chief and hung there. Most of the
chiefs and honest men among the Indians,
known to be friendly, have procured GER
titicatcs from miners and merchants we'll
known that they arc good.
The San Diego Herald, however says
We regret to see that the up-country
papers have announced cessation of hos
Iilties on the part of the Southern Indi-
ans. All the officers of the army enga-
ged in their suppression, unite in the ex-
preston of the opinion that the harrassing
border Indian war will, for long time to
come, continue to furnish them with am
pie professional employment.
