UPPER SACRAMENTO INpIANs.-The Indians on
the Upper Sacramento have recently exhibited
quite degree of hostility towards the whites.
We learn from Mr.. Bradbury, trader on Shot
gun Creek, that party of whites attacked a
party of Indians near Castle Rock, some days
since. for stealing flour, &c., of Mr. McCloud,
and killed two of them certain, and wounded
other two severely if not fatally Friendly In
dians say this party is the same that stole the
mules of Mr.. Greathouse, on Trinity mountain
some time since. They also formed portion of
that large band that committed so many murders
and robberies in 1879.
In this encounter two of the attacking party
were severely hurt. A Mr.. Miller was wound
ed in the right corner oil the mouth, by an arrow
entering there and coming out below the left
ear. Mr.. James Lean received still more
dangerous wound In bis case the arrow struck
below the left eye and severed an artery leading
over the head, which come very near resulting
in death. He is at present, however, fast recoy-
ering. --..s.s

Five years ago prominent man in the Uni
ted States professed such liberal views in regard
TO the naturalization of foreigners as Senator
Foote. He even went farther than the most ul-
ira Democrat would go at the present time, in
liberalizing the naturalization laws Five years
ago, in his place in the United States Senate, in
replying to speech of Senator Seward, of New
York, he made the following remarks:-
81 trust l nm as liberal in my views in regard
to persons of foreign birth, as the Senator from
New York have always been in favor of ribe-
ralizing our naturalization laws. have never
seen any personal objection to allowing for
eigner landing on our shores. on arriving at a
Custom-house of the United States, to become a
citizen of the United States on producing testi.
monials of character from the foreign country
from which he came. And that is going as far
as he who goes the farthest in relation to the
naturalization laws" aN
Does 1t not seem most singular that a man pro-
Tossing these views only Ave years since, should
now be moving heaven and earth, to deprive
These very men of that citizenship which they
have acquired in pursuance Of laws that have
been in full force for half century or more
What changes will not the hope Of obtaining q
seat in the United States Senate, work in the
views and sentiments OF these old politicians.

Russian .Ntics ria Hashingfon. The
Washington correspondent Of the New York
Sun, who Processes to be thoroughly posted
in Russian matters, makes the following sn-
gnlar statements:
A most singular communication from
Russia has lately Leaked ont at the State
Department. The Gar had declared an
intention to make peace with the allies only
on the condition that 'Constantinople shall
be made Tree port, and all the seas beyond
II opened 10 the commerce OF the world
without exceptions or pariialites.'"
Startling as this news may seem, it is
perfectly reliable, and whoever pretends to
doubt II now, you may rely upon its being
announced TO the world as fixed point IN
the Russian plan of policy. After all, II ap-
pears That President Pierce spoke by the
card when he said Russia was battling for
freedom Of trade aud religious federation ,
though Nj. Champion WAS wraihy thereat,
and talked about his government asking ex-
plantations.
Since the taking of the south half of Sc
bastopOl, this lntlmatlon Of the Emperor Al
exandef TO have " the establishment of a
free port at Consianiinople an inflexihle con-
dtlon of peace" has been repeated to our
government. The communication is semi
confidential but distinctly official and we
must infer therefore that Russia Is not in
undated by the state Of affairs in the Cr-
mea."
