Oily attained such dimensions so tsat extras
were issued announcing that the American

by the announcement, and angry protests
were heard against the G overnment for
forcing the nation to SO dangerous war.
Our Liverpool agent telegraphed to his Ex-
cellency, the American Minister, who
promptly sent the following expert contra
diction Of the rumor:
1t is not true that the American Minister
has demanded his passport from the British
Government. There is no foundation for
such report Notwithstanding an uneasy
feeling remains in the public mind.
Nothing important from the seat of war

DITCH DIFF1cULTY-W understand that
Messrs. Colburn and Smith, members of the
Nevada County & Sacramento Canal Com
pany, with about GO of the miners of Omega
proceeded to the South Yuba river on We'd
nesday for the purpose of erecting the dam
of the company. On arriving at the spot
they were resisted by Daniel Rich, Charles
Marsh and one Dunn. Colburn, on behalf ol
the company, ordered them off, and used slight
force to remove them, without effect. Had
his purpose been an unlawful one he had
sufficient force with him to have easily efFtc
ted their violent removal The resistance was
however sufficient for the purposes of the
Company, and legal proceedings will undoubtr
edly be now commenced on the part of the
n. G. & S. c. Co., TO maint ain their rights
The miners Of Omega publish to-day the re-
suits OF meeting held by them. We are in-
formed they deem the designs of Rich and bis
abetters to be to levy black mail on the older
company.
At a very large meeting of the miners of
Omega, holden on Tuesday evening last, at the
house Of Mr.. Lansing, the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, the vital interests Of the miners OF
Omega and the adjacent mining portions Of
Nevada county are Immediately concerned in
the speedy diversion of the waters of the South
Yuba, from its natural channel, so that it NAV
be dispensed upon every hill top and through
every rayine where the golden deposits wait
only the labor OF The hardy miner to take their
place ii the wealth Of cur young state And
whereas we have fail faith in the capacity and
intent Of the company, known as the Nevada
County and Sacramento Canal Company, to
divert the waters Of the Yuba ard make them
available for mining purposes and whereas, q
company known as the Snow Mountain Com
pany have taken forciblc and unWarrantable
steps to interfere with and delay the operations
