INDIAN FIGHT AT YREKA. We war.
favored last evening with visit e.e f.e
Col. w. Willer, commander of tho An"1h
rlcan forces at fort Brown, near Sbas'a
The Colonel very kindly furnished ""
with the following particulars of the ou ~
counter at Yreka Pass, which will nrono
interesting to our readers. r'''e
On the 25th ult, with commo,d r
seventy two officers and men, thew NM VI
sued the savages into the above mcn,;on fu.-
ed pass near the Oregon line. On reaoh
ing the northern end of the pass. tho T."
dians, in body numbering abou, sno
strong, made most bold and yivoro,,o
attack, but were repused after a we'll
contested fight, with the loss of sxtv ~.
seventy, and driven into the mountains.
During the engagement, Col w 70
ceived three wounds, one in the right side
one in the left arm, and another in ~,
left foot. Sergeant Downey was wonnd'
ed in the left side; Lieut.. Douglass wa.
piorced through the body by an arrow
and Lieut.. Sava was slightly wounded
There were five privates killed.
During their pursuit they discovered
the dead bodies of two females who had
been bru,ally murdered, and their heaJs
stuck in the mud, leaving their persons
exposed; besides many other evidences
of savage brutality.
The Colonel is an old Florida fiphter
though young man; was at the takinv
of Vera Cruz, and was severely woundeJ
at the storming of Cerro Gordo, bu, still
looks hale and healthy as though beinp
chased and shot by the Indians agreed with
him.-.'larysuiHe Erpress, March asth
| WHERE is THE CAPITAL?-It seems tbe
gentlemen composing the Supreme Cour,
have decited among themselves that the
law directing them to hold their sessions
al the capital, requires them to 90 to San
Jose, instead of coming to Sacramento. az
the law contemplated.
The process by which these learned
gentlemen arrived at the sage conclusion
enunciated must have been of that hair
splitting kind described by one "Hudi.
bras" The intention of the law was
that the court should ho!d its sessions in
Sacramento, but as the honorable Judges
probably preferred remaining in San
Francisco, and 80 concluded to exhibit
the sharpness, if not the length of their
ears, by taking the naked letter of the act
instead of its meaning. According to
their decision, no law has been signed at
the capital for some two years.
Well, if the Judges deem the city cf
San Jose the capital, we hope the court
will be permitted to go there and stay un-
til the Legislature passes An act requiring
its sessions to be held in Sacramento.

After the above documents were read,
the Sheriff asked Scott if be had anything
to ay?-when he stepped forward and
addressed the multitude as follows:-
scoTT's LAST WORDS.
81 have but few words to say. have
had fair and impartial trial, and am will
ling to abide by the law. have done no
more than would do again to any man
who would not give me satisfaction for
what he had said. return my thanks to
John Spell, the Jailor, and Sam Astln,
the Sheriff, and other friends who have
been kind to me- As for the paltry mob
who have urged on my trial before was
ready, they are too mean for my curses.
have done.'
These words were uttered in rather a
low tone of voice, and were hardly audi
dible to many who were present
The prisoner was then dressed in a
white robe, black cap drawn over his
head, his feet securely tied and placed in
his proper position upon the trap, with
the rope around his neck. The Sheriff
now announced the hour to be ID NJ,
when the lever which worked the machn
cry of the gallows was pushed forward,
the trap fell, and Rober Scott's spirit was
ushered into the presence of his God.
He gave but shudder or two and all was
over. 1t was an awful sight, and one
which no man could look upon without
feelings of regret-but Robert Scott had
brought the penalty upon himself-he had
deprived a fellow being of lite-he has
atoned for it.
At % minutes after l2 O'Clock, DR.. Har
per examined the culprit and was satisfied
that he was dead. The body was permit
ted to hang ten minutes longer, when
death was pronounced to the Sheriff by
the Doctor. Scott was then cut Town and
buried at the foot of the galows.
During the solemn and impressive
scene, and during the entire day, the most
complete order prevailed. In a short time
after the execution the large crowd dis
persed quietly to their homes. The good
order that prevailed on the occasion, was
q subject of general remark.
We hope that this solemn scene will
have its beneficial effect upon those who
witnessed it-that they will return to their
homes with greater appreciation of the
laws of the land, and treasuring in their
hearts the great injunction which says,

MINING - Miners are focking into
our county from all directions. The re-
cent rich discoveries at Iowa Hill seems
to have attracted the attention of many
old miners of Nevada and Ell Dorado
counties, and we hear of their coming by
dozens from Grass Valley and Nevada,
and from Georgetown and Coloma, to try
their fortunes in our Divide country.
We are also informed that hundreds of
miners are focking to Beal's and Dotan's
Bars, with the intention of working the
deep flats adjacent to those places. From
the prospects the yield of gold in this
county the coming season will be greater
than it ever has been. Hills which have
stood since the discovery of gold untouch-
ed, are now being tunneled, and we ex-
pect to hear of discoveries of rich gold
deposits ere summer closes, which will
make even old miners open their eyes.
