But little is known of The agricultural re-
sources of Shasta county, by lose Aho have
never visited HE east side of the Sacr imento
river. Between the Feather and Pitt rivers
there is 40 large streams emPtying into the Sac
raIneSlto from the east. There are, however
,Asuy small streams all of which run through
fertile lands. None Of this land above the laii-
;Ide of Red Bluffs has ever been covered by
Mexican grants. Ii has consequently invited
considerable settlement of that hardy population
found OH every frontier, who delight TO go forth
conquer the SOIL
The soil in these valleys is unusually rich, and
v;Ields an abundant harvest 10 the husbandman
As yet, however, bnt little Of the soil has been
reduced 10 cultivation, it being at present more
profitable to the clover and grass, which
grows spontaneously aud in great abundance
As stock grazing and the exhaustion of
The seed by repeated cuttings, render these nat
ural meadows less valuable, we may expect to
see more extensive fields reduced to cultiva-
ton.
In the Valleys Of the Cow Greeks, Oak Run
and Culver Cheeks, every foot of land available
snr agricultural or grazing purposes has been
covered by presumption claims, and many OF the
ranches are assuming the appearance and COM
handing the comforts of an old homestead.
This has been year of unusual prosperity to
all those engaged upon these embryo farms

rival he built the st. Charles Hotel which be-
came popular and prospered under his manage
ment. While Twin. here he proved himself TO
be one OF our most enterprising and uprighl
citizens. He left Shasta on the 18th day OF De-
tober. A. d. 1852, intending to bring his innlils
to this country with view of pcrn,anen, set
Element. On the 5th of April last, accompanied

be divided into smaller parties, and stationed
them at different points about the lulcs TO pre-
vent the egress of the Indians. In few min
utes after this arrangement was perfected, and
when the different parties commenced closing in
upon ihe Indians. Mr.. Mackley received bis
death wound He was shot with an arrow which
entered his right shoulder, and ranging little

hours after being wounded. His remains were
brought to this place and inferred on Monday

INDIAN AFFAIRS SoUTH.-On the 10Th of Sep
tember, Superintendent Beale met one thousand
md fo"ty-fve Indians in TETON Valley and held
u council with them. Mr.. Beale made them a
speech, which translated by Mr.. Wilson
]nto Spanish, language understood by many of
the chiefs. They were Informed that il was the
intention of Government 10 instruct them in the
culture of the soil, and that until they became
sufficiently skilled in the art to maintain them
selves, they would receive such assistance that
they need be under no apprehension of suffering
from want.
Religious men were to be sent among them TO
ministerto their spiritual wants, butt was clear
~ explained to them that these ministers should
have no control over their temporal affairs
The alternative was offered them of acquies-
cence in the will of the Government, or exier-
mination by disease or mixture with the W White
The council continued two days, at the
end of which time the tribes agreed to accept the
propositions made to them by Government
through Mr. Beale.
All anticipate the most favorable results from
the labors of Mr.. Beale with the Indian tribes of
the Southern Valleys.

From Trinity County.


Mr.. Henderson, of Cram, Rogers & Co.'S Ex-
press, has furnished Us with our news from
Trinity county.
The Indians have been very troublesome on
Canon Creek for the last two weeks. AS no
tribes are living in that vicinity it was for some
time difficult 10 find out WHO they were or where
they lived. After having robbed SO many mi
ners' camps, that the outrages could no longer
be borne, party started in pursuit of them. The
party started last week, and after travelling some
time the thieves We're found on Trinity River, in
the vicinity of the Trail from Yreka TO this place.
The gentlemen at yaiy's old ranch say that al
though they quite numerous in that vicinity,
they are not in the least troublesome. Not much
of the stolen property was recovered, and for
the purpose of Furnishing the Indians, their hu.s,
clothing and winter provisions were destroyed.
and several squaws and children were taken
captive The bull. Indians left as soon as tue
whites came in sight
The miners and gardeners all prospecting
in Big Bar and in that vicinity. The population
at Big Bar has greatly increased, and many sub
SLdulidl improvements are DelllS fnhue. OHe Of
the largest fuming enterprises in the North has
been undertaken. and is now vigorously prose-
cuted in this vicinity. company of miners
have built fume of sufficient capacity to carry
the entire river, and it is thought they will be
entirely successful in the accomplishment of
their project. In few days we expect to hear
favorable account from them.
Rich bank diggings have been discovered on

In another column we publish the proceed
ngs of meeting Of our citizens, held on Mon
day last, to appoint delegates to the State Rail-
road Convention, to assemble at San Francisco
on Monday next Other counties throughout
the State have responded to the call published by
the Executive Committee, and the attendance
will no doubt be numerous.
We await with anxiety the action Of this Con-
vention. 1t will be the first time that the peo-
pie of the Pacific slope have spoken, by public
meetings, the subiee. It's voice will be lis
tened to in the balls of Congress, and will exert
great influence over the action of that body in
reference to the location of the road II is.
therefore, OF the utmost importance tha, those
having favorite plans and routes should be in
attendance, and that they should make them dis
tinctly known.
We are satisfied that thorough survey of the
Sierra Nevada Mountains would give Mobiles
route the preference over any other route that
would be sufficiently direct to answer the inter-
ests and demands of commerce. We only hope,
her fore, that the action of this Convention i'll
nent to any one route, TO the neglect of the ad-
vantages of others proposed. Let every route be
fairly and impartlally presented and we Of the
North will have no fears to the result
