YucArAN.-The war between the
whites II and Indians, says ths Sun, still
continues; a corps Of 400 men. attacked
the head quarters of the Indians at Chan
Santa Cruz, Ast met with defeat. The
Indians got wind Of their coming, pois-
oned the wells and fed. When the troops
arrived nearly perished from thirst they
drank of the water, and were Immediately
seized with violent spasms, and while in

and is easily captured. The remedy was

Chinese Miners.

Whatever may be said OF the .laZiness
and general worthlessness of the Cinnamon
the ''laboring classes" manifest great in
dustry here-for among the Chinese there
are gamblers and loafers, who are above
soiling their hands by manual labor-yel
low rascals who prey upon the simple o.
their kind. no worse than white men o
the same sort Of profession (9 But the
Chinese miners here show as much enter
prise as far as their knowledge of machine
ry goes, as their Yankee neighbors.
They generally locate ON some bar OF
bank that has been abandoned by the
whites, and in few days there is perfect
cloud of them along the river bank
scratching in all kinds Of hooks and cor.
ners. If there should happen to be gold
near the surface, it stands pretty good
chance to find its way to Hong-Kong; for
as soon as one Chinaman finds good
prospect there is council held, which
results in the building Of some three dozen
shanties and tents, and the destruction OF
large quantities of rice.
This season they have made great pro.
gress in river mining. Some celebrated
mechanics having arrived, and joined q
party on the South Fork, it was deter
mined that water-wheel should be built.
For some weeks the camp was in intense
excitement, hewing timber, hammering
and saving, and carrying rocks, and in
due time the wheel was finished and the
pump rugged in complete { (Chinese) order;
it was set a-going, woke! worked beautifully,
the only rrvShel!e being that the water in
the hole did not diminish perceptiu,;.-
Finally they employed an American car
penter at ruinous salary, who set the
wheel a-going, to some purpose, and in
a few days the bottom of the river was
filled with boulders and Cinnamon. 1t is
impossible to tell how their claims pay,
as all inquiries are answered with lone
man, one day--one dollar" They think
if it were known that they we're making
good wages they would be driven out; but
to the credit of the miners here they are
undisturbed.

DEER SHoor1NG.-The experienced
hunter can have rare sport in the eastern
part Of Sierra county, in the vicinity of
the lakes; game Of all kinds is abundant,
but it is little use for the novice to go IN
pursuit of it. It is rather amusing to
watch the preparations of an amateur
sportsman, before making an expedition
to Sierra Valley; rifles, pistols and
bowie-knives are put in perfect order,
preparatory to death struggle with a
grizzly, and the hunter goes out and en-
camps in the vicinity of some of the
ranches, hunts a week, and accordingly
kills neither deer nor bear, and returns
perfectly disgusted with life in the woods.
Had he gone mile or so back of the hills,
into the swamps and thickets, he might
have had an opportunity of testing the
accuracy Of his aim, and might possibly
have learned how "grizzly looked to o
man up tree"
In the summer season the deer are ouly
found far back in the hills, in swampy
places, out Of reach Of the continual din
heard along the rixeus. Even tkere they
are rarely seen in day time, bas at night,
and between daylight and sunrise, they
may be found feeding on the little grass
patches surrounding springs and marshy
places Hene they remain with their
young sat2 the fall rains begin, when they
gradually move down, keeping little in
advance of the snow.

Lie mrrored in green, like shadOwy land
And still from the deils come the brooks

And ioyously leap from the rocks on thy

And years have rolled on since swan in
And slept in the shade of that sycamore

But I've bathcd in phantOm-like river in

Which Lethe-like flowed to fathomless

And heard the sweet minstrel that sang
in the glen,
Where the echo came back to the song

Let its white giant arms ever over me
