ADDITIONAL CALIFORNIA NaWs BY
THE NORTHERN LIGHT,

THE LOWER CALIFORNIA REpUBLic.-
By letter received in town by Don Jua1
Bandini, we have additional particulars
relating to the movements of the g liber.
ating army" of the new and improved
Republic. The letter is dated the 5th O
December, at the Rancho of Guadalupe
about eighteen miles this side of Eucina
da, and gives the following account of tn,
proceedings on the frontier:
"This moment several persons have
arrived here who assured me that twenty
of the invaders, under Col. Walker, other.
wise known as President of the Republic
of Lever California; went tothe Grulla
a ranch distant about twelve miles from
Eucinada, tied it's inhabitants, and after
robbing their houses, returned to Eucina-
da, taking some twenty horses. AS soon
as the news arrived at Santa Thomas,
capitol of the military colony, all the
| inhabitants of the said place took to arms,
and went after the invaders, surprising
them, aud retaking the twenty horses,
killing two men and taking two prisoners.
The following day the same armed inhab-
itants, attacking the enemy in their head
quarters at Encinada, cutting Oft all COM
munication with their ship, destroying at
the same time one Of the ships boats,
and from eight to ten men killed and
wounded"
This is tho substance of what the letter
contained, and may be relied upon as SUBJ
stantially accurate in its statements.
Don Juan instantly set out for Encinada,
in company with several others, for the
protection Of his property i'll that vicini-
ty. On his return, We may learn more
accurately the state of affairs than we
have means of knowing at the present.
ARRIVALS AND DEpARTUREs.-In the
absence of any definite news respecting
the fate of the liberatiDg army of Lower
California, we must chronicle the fact
that there are many strangers coming in
and going out of town continually, whose
movements are so cautious as to encour-
age the belief that they are an integral
part Of the expedition, and are on their
way quietly to some rendezvous below
here. A rumor is current that five hum
dred men were seen on the road between
Los Angeles and this place, who were
travelling in small detached parties, well
provided with pack animals and arms,
and being Americans, they are supposed
to be part of the same forces.
We learn through the purser Of the
Goliah and passengers who came up on
thesteamer, that Capt. Burton, ofthe q. S.
Army, had sent down Mexican messen-
ger to Encinada, to protect his cattle from
the attacks of the hostile parties. The
messenger returned express to San Diego,
which place he reached just previous to
the departure of the Goliah. He report
ed that Walker had had q fight With the

ada, in which the latter were defeated,
with loss of six killed and several
wounded.
Walker lost two killed and two taken
prisoners, which the Californians off;red
to exchange for the two Governors, which
Walker refused. The next day the two
American prisoners were released. Col.
Watkins, with his battalion of $50 men,
taken from this city by the Anita, had
reached Encinada and joined the Expedi-
tionists. The party were strong enough
to resist any force that could be brought
against them, and were ready to make an
advance further into the country.
This statement of the arrival of Wat
kins' battalion lacks confirmation. Son

DEATHS IN CALIFORNIA.-In Marys-

Deceased was formerly resident of
Montgomery County, Md, and was &c
years and 2 months of age.
18th Dec, Hon. n. C. Reed, formerly
Supreme Justice of the State of Ohio.
The Senatorial election in San Francisco
resulted in the election of Mr.. Mahoney
by majority of about four thousand
over Mr.. Farwell, the Wing nominee
The successful candidate was pledged to
the election of United States Senator at
the coming session Of the Legislature, and
is friend of D. G. Broderick.
The Legislature was to convene at
Benicia on the Sd of January, on which
day Gov. Bigler was to be inaugurated to
fill his second term as Governor of Cali
fornia. The Senatorial question will alb.
sorb great portion of the next Legisla-
tive session, and every question relating
to state interests will be made dependent
upon it.
The correspondent of the Sacramento
Journal says: The Indian hunters have
just arrived at my place. They have
killed six Indians and brought in one pri
soner that was taken by another Indian
who said that the prisoner is one of those
who shot Savours. The company then
took vote on the question as to whether
they should hang or shoot him, when il
was decided unanimously to shoot him
He was cut loose, and after he had run 9
distance of ten rods, the company com
menced firing at him with their rifles; h,
ran about 100 rods before he fell dead
At the time our correspondent wrote, Mr.
Savours was still alive, but not expected
to recover.
