% Indians Killed.

A party of Indians near Tehama in this
county, recently stole a number Of cattle from
several ranches near that place, when party
of whites started in pursuit, and coming up
with them among the rocks Sf Dry Greek can
on, killed twenty-three of their number.
Such course is to be deprecated; but what
are the settlers to do White men have been
hung for stealing, and it is not expected that
Indians will be more easily taught the conse-
quence of theft than men are. Men will not
sit down quietly, suffer their property to be
driven off, and content themselves with la
menting their loss. If there was milder
manner Of teaching the Indian to regard the
rights Of property, the settlers would un-
doubtedly, willingly avail themselves of it -
The humane policy of Superintendent Beal, is
everywhere regarded with the utmost favor,
rand it is hoped that measures will be early
taken. for the disposition Of these Indians
If they are removed and taught to cultivate
the earth, their present destitute and misera-
bic condition would be greatly alleviated and
the settlers would be left in the enjoyment of
their property, aud free to bring the soil of
california; under the influence Of the hus-
bandman.

Gov. Foote.

This gentleman, since the grand entertain
ment of MAN and BEAST has published
card in the San Francisco papers. declining
to interfere with politics in California, and in
which he declares that he has come to Califor-
mia for the sole purpose of engaging in the
practice of the law. He should not have lent
his presence to the disorganizing schemes of
the "Tribe of David" and should not have so
far forgotten himself, as to pour his vials of
wrath upon the national democratic Platform,
and hurl his maledictions at the Federal Ad
ministration. The political course of Gov.
Foote-especially while he was in the Senate
of the United States, has been approved by
every patriot and lover of his country-and
from the honor attached to that course, we
would not detract a jot or title. 1t is inter-
woven with the history of his country, and
must forver reflect honor upon him. If his
subsequent course met with the disapproba-
ton of his constituents, who is to blame 1t
should be borne in mind that the national
democratic convention at Baltimore buried all
schims, and recognized only the democratic
party, and the wisdom of this course was fully
illustrated in the election which followed. The
spirit of Cancellation warmed into existence by
the convention, met the hearty approval Of
the nominees In the selection of his Cabinet
President Pierce, in the spirit which had gov
erned the convention, selected them from the
democratic party, regardless of the particular
branch of the democracy they had formerly
been connected with. The platform of the
convention prohibited him from inquring
to what particular branch of the democracy
applicants had hitherto belonged And when
the Collector of n Y. (Greene C. Bronson)
disregarding the principles established by
the Baltimore convention, made his sub-ap-
pointments from former favorite branch of
the party, he was very properly removed
And when Gov. Foote disregarded the Balti-
more platform, erected by the democracy of
the nation, his constituents very properly re-
pudiated him. So will tn e democracy of CAL
ifornia repudiate those who have violated the
principles of the National convention. If
Gov. Fooce cannot wholly and conscientiously
act with the national democracy, we are clad
to learn from his card that he declines politics
altogether, for the bacch annalian mob of the
Cafe du Commerce, do not represent the de-
mocracy of California, any more than the alb
clifton party Of Kentucky represent that
State,

A Voice from Pike.

An over modest but ambitious correspond
ent evidently hailing "from Pike" pinned the
following to our Office door during the dead
hour of night, from which perilous position it
was rescued by our Satanic assistant Don't
be so modest.
Do You HEAR THE Music OF PIKE Co.?-
/ dropped down to see our old and much es-
teemed friend Pike" yesterday The way
they are taking out the gold is not slow-$4
and So to the bucket is not uncommon
Pike is around, like s'picked up dinner"
He keeps both Toms in motion, and conse-
quently keeps himselfi in motion too, which is
characteristic of him. Take look under the
National Hotel and see the Cape Cod men
catch gold as fast as they ever caught Cod
at the Cape. Go in, Pike, we wish you sue
cess, as well as all of your company. We are
pleased to see the interest taken in supporting
the National with posts capable of sustaining
it. More anon.
The claim under the National Hotel is an
immensely rich one, and we are pleased to
learn that the boys are so successful in taking
it out.
We doubt not the plaza claim, will prove
quite as rich as the one referred to, when the
same strata of earth is reached. !
The numerous claims in this vicinity are
generally paying well, and it seems to be an
admitted fact that, where water can be pro-
cured, the miner is sure to realize good wages
We hope soon to be able to announce the fact
that the South Fork is pouring her welcome
food upon the placers Of this vicinity,

Eisticnd. d.-Almost.

On Sunday last, the quietude OF Bidweli
was suddenly disturbed by angry words COM
ing from the Hotel de France, OF course
very few minutes sufficed to collect the
crowd, and the belligerents were soon seen
making their way out of the building into the
street. the hindmost urging the other ahead
somewhat faster than appeared to be desira-
BILE. After reaching the street, one of them
doubtless said some very hard things-at least
we inferred as much from the gesturings he
accomplished, in a remarkable short space Of
time. He evidently belonged to the Hyer
class The second French hombre, having no
desire to tap another barrel of claret, adjust
ed his apparel, and declined settling the mat
ter by the proposed caucus He was i'm
mediately read out Of the claret party.

Death of Geo. Kerr.

Mr.. GEORGE KERR, one of the proprietors
and publishers of the Times & Transcript,
died at Stockton on Sunday last, aged 27
years. Mr.. Kerr served with distinction in
the Mexican war, and rose from private to
the rank of Captain. He was universally es-
teemed wherever he was known. He was
elected State Printer in 1858, which Office he
held at the time of his death. His obsequies
were attended by the Masonic and Odd Fell
lows Lodges.

A Leisure Day.

We were taken all-aback the other day while
busily engaged in putting the first side of our
mammoth sheet to press, by the arrival of
Adams & Co.'s Agent, With a bundle Of ex-
changes, who with a crowd after him, came
up stairs blowing like porpus, with his usual
exclamation-''Here shall the press" &c
This sentiment was responded to by the crowd,
with vociferous applause. Fearful that the
next sentiment would call us out, we immedi-
ately thrust our digital extremities into our
pocket, and taking but one piece, regardless
whether it was slug or quarter of dol
lar, handed it to the speaker with liberty to
call at the saloon below, and drink whosoever's
health they chose. Another cheer and rush,
and we were alone in our glory. Quiet brought
reflection, and we were at a less to determine
the amount we had thus thoughtlessly invested.
Our mind was soon relieved however by hear
ing the barkeeper, whose heart the recent
beautiful weather had failed to expand, posi-
lively affirm that he would not treat SO many
for one dollar. A reference to the Record
cash book corroborated this evidence, as that
showed the receipts for the week to be but Two
five franc pieces, and we still had one left
We breathed somewhat freer We had not
squandered a slug, as might have been the
case, had there been one in our pocket. The
different expresses were suddenly found to
contain letters for various persons. One
young gentlemen received billet-doux whose
beautiful and rose scented exterior proclaimed
its origin from Happy Valley. With face
as red as love and beef could make it, the for
get-me-not seal was tenderly severed, and its
contents" Whiskey for the cr0ecd p sudden
ly turned the current of his affections, and
abandoning the fountain of love, he resignedly
knelt at the shrine of Bacchus Satisfied that
we had not contributed beyond our means to
aid the fun of pleasant afternoon, we closed
the labors of the day in ''peace with all the
world and the rest Of mankind

Express Favors.

Singer & Co., agents for Wells Fargo & Co.,
have loaded our table with files of Atlantic
Papers, in advance of the mails. We are also
indebted to Singer & Co.'s Express, for the
delivery of State exchanges.
Everts s Snell's Express, in connection
with Adams & Co., have also supplied us with
files of Atlantic papers and State exchanges.
Thanks gentlemen, all.

Legislative.

Through the politeness of Hon. E. T. Peck,
we have been favored with bill introduced
by Mr.. Irwin, ''to authorize Franklin Tilford
to build a wharf at the end of Green Street in
to the bay of San Francisco" The bill is
remarkable for nothing but its brevity, and
merely shows that Mr.. Irwin is indefatigable
in attending to the wants of his water front
constituents

The Public Ledger.

This original Broderick journal recently
went s'the way of all the earth" Its death
bed was made happy by full confession of
its manifold sins, and acknowledged that it
had misrepresented the views of the democra-
cy of the State. If the repentance of the
Ledger was sincere, DR.. Theller will find an
excellent opening for democratic paper at
Marysville. Such paper established at Ma
rysville, would be greeted by the democracy
of northern California with a support that
would render it second to none in the State.
Try it, Doctor, and the northern democracy,
forgetting your political sins, will only re-
member the services of an old Canada Patriot

IN her lay, the golden rule for human morali-
ty through all time-"Whatsoeve ye would

trouble, some ridicule, possibly loss of worldly
friends, and distribution Of worldly good. shut

O.y-This Poem was written By the under
sign ed, who entered those wilds, l7S9:
How oft | turn mine eye to thee,
u Virginia, oh, my native land,
Now how few are left with me,
-a Osall my early forest baud.
Where are those used II greet@-
They are sleeping in the shades below
Or il one chance to meet,
His head is whitened lke the snow.
Let the Rappahannock roll,
,r Or in Virginia sweety sleep,
For have often felt contact,
I have oft been forced to weep. ..
But can the Rappahannock stay,
Or back upon her fountains How,
Though have forced my rugged way,
NV path Oft strewed with griel and woe.
I've been in the wilderness
Beneath clouded sky,
have seen the raging wolf
And met his glaring eye. as.
I have ranged the mountain top
In time of frost and snow,
And have been IN mortal strife,
Though not my country's foe.
p, have seen my children laid ...
Beneath the grassy sod,
j Aud in the open field
My bosom drenched with blood.
I've seen day of deep distress
. And felt the keenest pang,
A kind and loving wife,
On my heavag bosom hang
One gentle and so free,
So loving aud so true,
Alas has gone from me
=. Like the early morning dew'
= Still feel of others pride ...
Nor do lack friend,

Their love and duty blend.
Though 60 my path alone

y" While think Of her that's gone
And shed for her a tear.
ai Nightly dsws may gently fall
On the withered roses bed,
So may we at memory's call
Tears OF sweet affection shed.
Morning suns the dews will dry,
Affections pangs are lulled to sleep,
Tears will fade from sorrows eye,
And even love forget to weep.
The winds may shake the forest tree
When all her verdure's gone,
But who is there to mourn for me,
o. O, say, my soul, shall there be one!
