ton, not long since, of Minnesota Flu
ming Company, whose object was to bring
water from the head of Wolf Greek and
the Middle Yuba to this town, for the
purpose of assisting to obtain the rich gold
deposits found in this region. To effect
this, almost insurmountablc difficulties had
to be overcome. High mountains were
to be traversed, deep canons crossed, and
trenches to be dug through beds of solid
granite. The 100 shares were taken by
less than 100 men, and by their enterprise
the fume is now, in so short time, almost
completed.
The establishment Of line of Steam
ships between New York and San Fran
cisco, by California, or by few counties,
or by individuals of California, would be
comparatively more easy undertaking
than the fluming enterprise to which /
have alluded. Suppose that the Legisla-
ture about to commence in Sacramento,
should determine to submit to the people
of the State, the question of issuing the
bonds of the State, bearing 6 per cent. in
terest yearly, and redeemable in 20 years,
for the purpose of establishing line of
Steam vessels from New York to San
Francisco, charging reasonable rates for
passage, with the provision that all mon
eys received by the line, should be set
aside, for the purpose of cancelling the
interest and bonds, when due, and that the
amount received, more than sufficient to
cancel the interest, bonds and necessary
expenses, should be applied to the defray-
ing Of the expenses Of the State Cover
mcnt. Every man in the State would be
directly or indirectly benefited and would
vote for it heart and hand. Or if few
counties should determine to take stock
in company formed for that purpose, or
a few energetic individuals, such as you
could point to, in few months there
would be line of Steamers plying be-
tween the Atlantic States and our shores,
owned by our own citizens, and Californi-
ans would be their own protectors against
imposition and injustice. Each Of the
courses referred too, has its precedent
But ! have already trespassed too long
upon your time and patience, and will
retire from your sanctum by simply ex-
pressing the hope that you will continue
to agitate the subject, until California is
induced to act in selfdefence. &.

ty and a wide circulation Of the Citizen, l

Pitt River Indians.

They are superior, both physically and
Intellectually, to the great body Of Cali
fornia Indians. This opinion is borne out
by the superior strategy and remarkable
prowess so frequently displayed in their
prosecution Of hostilities against the
whites. The history of this county since
'4s, places beyond the reach Of successful
contradiction the assertion that their men
are the most daring and intrepid warriors
in California. Without protesting to alb
solute accuracy, but intending to be CON
siderably within bounds, we do not hest
tate to express the belief that the files Of
the Courier will show that they have killed
more than fifty whites within the past
three years. And the instances are on
record of their having made the most des-
perate fights, hand to hand, with white
men. III sa 81 ID
They are also the most enterprising
Indians in the State. This is evidenced
BY the fact that they have not, in their
war and plundering excursions, confined
themselves strictly to those settlements
immediately adjoining TIE district Of coun-
try which they inhabit, the usual custom
with other tribes; but, with remarkable
boldness and success, have made excur-
sions into Trinity and Siskiyou on the
north, and Colusi and Butte on the south;
thus ranging over country at least one
hundred and fifty miles in extent-& Shasta

Al Pretty Foot.

There's magic in pretty foot,
And we'll the ladies know it
And she who has pretty one
Is pretty sure to show it;
At times, too, you are martyred by
1.-THE incest little ANGLE,
That shoots an arrow through the eyes,
Within your heart to rankle.
OF course you turn your gaze aside,
And all your bushes stifle.
For well you know she's not aware
Her skirts are raised a trife.
But should you think she might perchanct
Have on a loosened gaiter,
i Your fingers itch to play the part
~ OF honest lady's waiter.
Though tantalixed till he is crazed-
Stark mad with wild romancing,
That witching foot along his brain
A thousand waltzes dancing,
The while it merrily, lightly pats,
Az thoughtless she may move it
No modest man would dare to dream
There was leg above it.
But when it trips across the street,
Through winds, and mud, and vapor,
$ BY sheerest accident you see
How beautiful the taper;
And as it steps upon the walk,
Amid the crowd to mingle,
Two roguish eyes look up and say,
~ wonder if he's single!"

Gen. Taylor left the Fort fort Brown,)
opposite MatAmoras, for Point Isabel, with
1000 men, having had information that
the Mexicans would in all probability at
tack him on his return with the loaded
train. Accordingly the utmost caution
was observed. We left the Point on
Wednesday, the 9th of May, about 5
o'clock, being the Van Guard of Dragons,
under the command Of Capt. Kerr. The
train consisted of about 200 wagons, load
ed with provisions and ammunition for
Fort Brown, which had been bombarded
for six successive days after Taylor left
The train and command moved with the
greatest caution and cireumspection, after
leaving Point Isabel, and marched about
8 miles before evening.
The next morning reville sounded by the
break Of day; we were up, groomed and
fed our horses, and taking breakfast by
annrise, we were soon ready for another
start. However, the train did not all
move before 8 o'clock. As we were the
rear guard that day, we could not move
until the whole train was in motion; and
~ many places in the road would only
iadmit Of one wagon passing at time, it
occasioped many delays, and made the
train the longer. We continued the same
precaution a. we approached the chappa-
raj, . distance of about 18 miles from
Point Isabel, where we sent out fiankers.
The country lying between Point Isabel
and qNatamoras is, for Is miles, almost q
continued prairie. At that distance you
strike the first point of chapparal. AL
Though the road passes this point, it breaks
again .upon another prairie Of about 8
miles across, called the "Palo Alto" or
l"Tall Tree" where the first battle was
fought between the American and Mexi-
can Armies, on the 9th Of May, 1e46.
s. 9As the roar advanced to within about
mile Of the chspparal, the advance Of
