Tehama Correspondence.

TEHAMA Cal Jan. 18th, 1853.
MEssRs EDIToRs This is wonderful even
tempered. quiet sort of place-so much SO,
that we sometimes fancy that it is inhabited by
the regular descendants of the Skillburgers-so
famous in German story. The Indians are steal
ing cattle around us, some over the river, and
some on this side but it does not affect us any
here-not bit. Now our neighbor, the Bluffs
is a town - what is a town,"-some excitement
,here,-some,hing to keep alive ones spirits
without resorting to spirits to keep one alive.
There. am credibly informed, the streets
and lots partake somewhat OF uie excitement,
and have become almost changeable as the
sands of the river Platte 1t has got to be no un-
common occurrence, for merchant, upon his
return from dinner. to find the street running
directly through his store. and In the evening TO
find his OF, house and wife, fhe be so fortunate
as 10 have such God-send OF comfort, quietly
located upon another maIi's premises.
But, mirabilc dictu, next day, by some strange
whim of nature, or-man, they take another ht,
and come back to the old mark, and the proPrie-
tor is rather pleased than otherwise. by the oc-
currence Now il is very different here. Ours
is an ancient city, and its founders have acquired
a sort of mytbic veneration, and the landmarks
established by them maintained with as scru-
pulous care as if the Hebrew Law, on that sub
ject, was in the hey-day of its strength.
/ have no toubt but it would be considered
an act of vandalism to remove the hay barns In
the vicinity of the town. however much such re-
moval would improve the appearance OF the
place Indeed, the unoccupied portion OF the
City plat is now being fenced in, for the ostensl-
bic purpose of keeping it secure for future occu-
pancy.
But, however steady we mortals are. old Bo-
reas seems to be having jolly good time sky
larking among u.s. lingering our noses. 1t has
been cold and bustry for some days, and we
have had quite a SNOW storm.
l, is owing to this, perhaps. that the cattle are
being stolen; the snow having driven the In
dians from the mountains. am informed that d
party set ont to recapture the stolen cattle, and
chasfise the Indians over In Butte, but what
success thew met with have not learned.
Although we have had considerable storm,
the river has not raised much yet, and will not
perhaps until the weather moderates.
Wishing yon and the Shasta folks good
time" through this cold weather, bid You adleu.

LARGE LUMP OF QuARTz.-A few deys ago We
saw large and solid lump Of quartz, the weight
of which was about 200 lbs.. and valued by
the Gold Hill Company to whom it belonged, at
something $4,000. This piece of quartz
was taken out of the main ledge, and is by far
the largest and most beautiful specimen of gold
