Frueville and an lrishman named Conn, at San
Andre, respecting land claim, which led TO

yer Valley, was hung lately for assisting in the
murder CT several white men.
A Mr.. Robert Carey is announced in the
the Union as having arrived in Sacramento
from New Mexico with drove of 1700 sheep.
The Union savs:
"The wea her at Fort Laramie had been
and was intensely cold. Buffalo, driven by
stress OF elements to the Fort, were shot in
great numbers. But few Indians were seen
between Taos and Fort Laramie, and these
appeared friendly, and made no attempt at
thieving.
FROM OREGON.
Gold has been found on the Santiam river
There was considerable excitement in Port
land in regurd TO it. Very good coal has been
discovered near ST Helens.
by Information received from persons who
have visited the head waters of the Santiam,
we are led to the conclusion that gold exists
in that region in considerable quantities. Some
men who have been pro specting have made as
high as "a per day, by pan washing. Tbs
stories afi0at as 10 the amount Of gold found
are undoubtedly exaggerated.
