La.es, from, the Oregon War.

We copy the following from the Yreka Union
Extra, of the els, ult., furnished by the Pacifc
Erpress:
. Since the :. Cow Greek defeat. several com
paiiies have been in search of the Indans engn-
ged in the battle; All have been unsuccessful,
however. with The exception of Bob Williams,
who with seventy-five men on Friday last came
upon their trail between Grave Greek aud Jump

mule train taken by The Indians AT the com
mencement of the outbreak They followed on
and passed the smoking remains of the two
houses of Widows Nder and Harris. which the
Indians had just burned. Upon arriving AT Jump

The dispatch arrived on Sunday morning.

rive at Jump-oil-.)oe on Sunday evening.
The Indians are represented as being all well
armed and mounted and fight with the utmost
desperation and bravery, and seem perfectly
reckless OF life. Their numbers could not be
ascertained, nor of course could their killed and
wounded. Wien the messenger left the ground
there were four white men wounded but none
had been killed.
Williams company consists of volunteers
from Siskiyou. Rogue River, Illinois Valley. and
other places, and are said 10 be picked men.
AT the battle Cow Greek the Indians were
in position stronger than which could not be
found in the whole of Oregon, to which alone
may be attributed the unfortunate result of the
engagement Now, however, their advantages
IN this respect comparatively few. In view.
therefore, of this circumstance, and of the fact
of two such men Capt Judah and Bob VIII
liams being in The field, we may confidently an.
iicipate good news from that quarter in day
or two.

SIGNIFIcASf.-.The newspapers which advo.
cate the expulsion of the Chinese may find con-
ISOLATION in the following fact, WHICH we copy
from the Nevada Journal.
Short CoAISes.-We are told by the collector
of - Foreign Miners Tax" that the receipts
this month will fall inr short of the previous eve
rage more than one hall.
The white tax payers Of Nevada County will
have to pay the deficiency. This is Wholesome,
bu, rather suicidal, Chinese policy.--State Jour
nat.
1T is an astonishing fact that some men, if q
dollar be held IN front of them, cannot see an
inch beyond it. With them, every sort of pulley
is pronounced sound" if IT but leaves their
pockets untouched. Is it indeed true that the
white taxpayers" are go poor thnt they can
not support government without the assistance
of the effeminate sons of heathcn China land
so mercenary, and destitute Of both individual
and national pride, as to acknowledge i'll No.
'Tis base SANDER If we cannot support our
State government without such assistance. we
are unworthy sons of America. The Chinamen
are doing more to lessen the working man S
capital, and degrade labor in California, than all
other causes besides. Show us a man that de-
sires to see the Chinaman enter the mines the
companion and competitor of our own brothers
and we will point you TO one whose vision is OBJ
structed by the almighty dollar"

Late from Europe.

| By the arrival of the Golden Age we have six
days later news from Europe.
The news from the Eastern war is interesting
| The combined naval and military expedition.
which was supposed to haya the destruction of
Odessa for it's object, resulted in merely de-
moustration against that port, the real design
being to capture the fortress Of Kimbum, con-
Meeting with Peninsula of that name. and con-
sdered one of the most important military po-
stions on the southern coast of Russia 1t is
situated near the salt water lake and the mouth
Of the river Dneiper.
The towns of Kersom and Beusoff, and the
whole region watered by the Dneiper, Bug, and
in Goul, the operation appears to have been en-
tirey successful at the last accounts. The Al
lies were within five leagues of Batchi Seria.
The Russians were retiring slowly, and from
all appearances there was no reason to conclude
that Liprandi intended to defend the line Of Bel
bee and rest for support on the lsf in command
of Prince GorschakoH. In Asia Minor. the Rus
slams have sustained an impoi tant defeat. On
the 29th Sept. Gen. MOravief attacked Kars,
and was repulsed with great slaughter by the
Turks. Loss in dead alone, being reported to
be 1000.
Accounts received by the way of Trebizund,
state that the Russians have determined TO raise
the siege.
The financial aspect and bearing of the war
absorbed almost entirely the interest attaching to
its stratagetcal result The decision arrived ut
by the Bank of England TO ruise its rate of dis
count from 1-2 to per cent. for bills. none
having more than so days to run; and TO per
cent. for bills Of longer date, has prodnced the
greatest alarm and anxiety amongst the CONNER
cial classes in England. To connterbalance its
effects, an agitation is about to be commenced
to repeal the restrictive clauses of Sir Robert
Peers bank measures which would afford
siderable relief
1t is thought that the Bank of France will sus
pend ayment, which would have at once the
effect of arresting the drain of gold from Eng
land.
Unless one or both Of these events take place,
the commercial affairs in Great Britain will have
TO pass through ieal ful ordeal. We of course
cannot expect 10 escape The reaction

Later from Puget Sour md. .

By the arrival of the schooner Kaluma, Cap.
Candage, ten days from Puget Sound, we learn
says the Evening Journal, that the Indians are
committing depredations daily on the whites.
They have killed many OF the settlers in Puget
Sound, and still declare war of extermination
to the white population. All the inhabitants
have taken up arms against the Indians and sent
their families on board the schooner Santiago,
which was chartered for that purpose. There
is large number of warriors of different tribes
in the field, all of whom are hostile to the white
population, killing all who by chance or other
wise fall in their way. Volunteers have turned
out to defend their homes, &C., and the next
news we have from that quarter, will be of
great importance.

FLUSH TIMES IN New YoRK.-The steamers

that our farmers have supplied our markets with

for FIVE months has been coming at the rate Of
two and a half million dollars per MONTH No
wonder the N. Y. Herald can give the following
rose-colored account of the state of business af-
fairs in that city:
The city is full of strangers-the hotels are
overrunning with guests-our columns are
crowded with advertisement-there are but
very few persons unemployed yed-the merchants
look cheerful-every one seems to have plenty
OF money, and to be willing to spend it," But
the success Of the various places Of amusement
1t considers fhe surest barometer of public pros
perity. These. it says are thronged every
night and the money receipts of the theatres
