Some OF the above were among the best in the
town. The amount of goods destroyed is small, the
tire having swept over that part OF the place oc-
cupied as residences with the exceptions enumerat
ed. The recent heavy rains prevented to some ex-
tent more destructive confagration.
News from Humboldt Bay.
The bark General Wool, Captain J. A. Ridgway,
from Humboldt arrived at San Francisco on the 18th
December, brings news to the 10th. The weather
had been stormy for a fortnight previous, and no
trains had arrived or left for the mines. Provisions
were scarce at the bay, and it was feared that suffer
ing had already commenced both on the Salmon and
Trinity. Snow fell the mountains as early as the
goth ult., at which time there was not over fort
nights provisions on the Klamath and Salmon, and
even less on the Trinity, since when little has gone
forward. No vessels had entered for some three
weeks prior to the sailing of the Gen. Wool.
The Indians on the klamath have been quiet since
their chastisement in June last but several murders
had been committed by those on the South Fork of
the Trinity, and the other mountain tribes between
that and Eel river. Two young men, named Casper,
living on Eel river, on their way to meet sick
brother were waylaid and killed on wager creek
early in November. The murder was known by the
Indians on the Klamath before it came to the know
ledge of their friends. Suspicion was first excited
among the latter by one of their hats being found,
and party went out from Eel river and discovered
the bodies much mutilated. They killed two In
dams who had in their possession articles of cloth
ing belonging to the murdered men and took another
prisoner, who died Of fright.
Another murder was reported to the whites, at the
I?rks Of the Klamath, by an Indian from the Lower
Trinity as having occurred between the South FORK
and Redwood Greek, about the 18th or 18th OF No
vember. The man. whose name had not been ascer-
tained was on foot, in advance of party Of SIX or
eight, going from Union to the Trinity. He was
shot with rife and his body drawn out Of the trail
and covered with leaves, and the train passed with
out knowing it. The Indian who communicated this
intelligence at the ferry, offered to take the whites to
the spot and point out the murderers and had there
been small military station there the deed might at
once have been punished. AS it is, it is probable
that the miners Trinity, and the settlers on the
bay and Eel river, will be compelled to take up the
matter this winter, in which case general war must
be expected.
The Hon. Thomas J. Roach, County Judge elect of
Klamath County, was unfortunately drowned, on the
18th November. on his way from the Upper klamath
to Trinidad. The accident took place at creek,
one mile and half below Youngs Ferry. Judge
Roach was from the State OF New York, and came
to California lieutenant in Stevenson's Regi-
ment; he was appointed in 1851 to the office OF
County Judge to fill vacancy, and at the late cleo
office. He was much respected, and his death is
looked upon as misfortune to the county
Intelligence from Los Angels.
A late arrival at San Francisco from San Diego
furnishes the following items, which copied from
the Los Angels Star OF Dec. 4th-On the night OF
Tuesday, the 18th ult the entire stock Of horses be-
longing to Messrs. White & Courtney, consisting Of
about one hundred head, together with some few
owned by emigrants who have recently arrived in the
county, where stolen from San Gabriel At first the
robbery was supposed to have been committed by
Indians; but from present indications, it seems more
probable that the same band OF outlaws who have SO
long infested this county and part Of whom there
is every reason to believe are now in the hands OF
the people, are the guilty ones in this instance.
-Four or five men have started on their track, pre-
pared to follow them even to the mnes If they have
gone in that direction.
The Star pays the following handsome compliment
TO Hon. Inland Hall, of the Land Commission, and
the Secretary and Law Agent Hon. Hiland Hall,
OF the United States Land Commission, Mr.. Green
how, Deputy Law Agent Mr. Fisher, Secretary and
the other gentlemen connected with them took their
departure on the Sea Bird. The visit Of these gen.
tlemen to our place will always be agreeably remem-
bered by citizens. Not only have they been as
sduous in the discharge OF their official duties attend.
ing at their rooms early and Late, but their course
has been marked by that courtesy which secures the
esteem Of all.
Some further testimony has been adduced in re-
gard TO the murder Of Gen. Bean. The Star pub
lishes the statement of a woman called Anna Bout
tes which, if true proves beyond doubt that Cipri
ami Sandova the man charged with the crime, is
the guilty The following is the portion OF her
testimony fastening the crime upon Sandoyal -

Reyes Feliz was also suspected Of being engaged
in the assassination Of General Bean; but nothing
definite was proved against him. as being connected
with that affair. He however confessed to the
mission Of murder and several robberies. After
this confession had been made known to the people,
public meeting was held at the courthouse, and
the accused was condemned to death by unanimous
consent. This was on Monday. He was carefully
guarded that night by party Of citizens, during
which time he visited by Rev Padre Anacleto,
who administered to him the rights OF the Catholic
Church. At IL o'clock on Tuesday, he was conduct
ed to the galows, on Prospect Hill, followed by q
large concourse of people. Here he waited upon
by the priest who left him not until the moment ar
rived for his execution. Just before ho was launched
into eternity, the prisoner addressed few words to
the assembly TO the effect that his punishment was
justly merited, &c, and advising lis companions
never to put faith in woman. He persisted 10 the
last in declaring his innocence of the murder Of Ge
