Of the fight, and the action was somewhat
peculiar, as artillery took no part in it
The British second, third, fourth, and
light divisions were told off for aetion,

their attack. bu5 as the gallant French
make II a point Of honor to take those
pits without aid, no assistance was offered
The French were 5000 strong and they
state their loss at $50 killed and wounded
beside few prisoners.
On the night Of the 22nd the most
severe attack Of all was made upon the
lines Of the allies. A large force advance

must have an irresistible force in thu

GREATSTR1KE.-The Columbia Gazette
of the 25th ult., says rich vein was dis
covered in the claim formerly owned by
Judge Abbott, near the Halfway House,
by two negroes. 1t appears that the
claim had been given up as worthless some
time since, and on Friday morning these
colored individuals had bought the mining
tools left on the claim for $75. In the
afternoon they went to work, and in three
hours they took out $265. On Saturday
they washed out $500. On Monday they
took out four pounds, and have been TAX

The Eastern War.

Most bloody contests are in progress at
Scbastopol. The news by the Sierra Ne
vada contains accounts that signify the
most determined and sanguinary efforts
on the side of the Russians to drive the
allies from their Notifications, and equally
firm resistance from the French and Eng
iish to maintain their ground. Reinforce
mcnts are pouring into Sebastopol, and
altogether the allies seem to be more be-
seiged than ever, The passages through
the mountains are now passablo, and the
Russians arc pouring down in brigados Of
- 900 at time, and there is little doubt
that their numbers viii b3 doubled before
three months. The incidents of the war
arc interesting. In front of the French
lines, some 600 yards distant, certain pits
have been dug for the Russian rife men,
faced round with sand bags and earth,
loop-holed for rifles, from which the rife
men annoyed the French 50 much that
Gen. Bosquet deemed it essential to hold
and destroy these ambuscades. BY sew
eral nights assaults, he drove the Russians
from the pits, but the heavy fire from the
town prevented him from holding Or de-
stroying them. The position is one Of
great strength and Importance
During the night of March 18th there
was fierce affair. The Russians had ad-
vanced some rifemcn in front of the
French lines, who caused considerable an
noyance. When night fell demi-brieade
If French went down and drove them out.
All the city batteries along the front im-
mediately opened and continued a furious
cannonade for half an hour, during which
a stronger force of the enemy advanced
on the French, and compelled them 10
retire, with loss of So men, the Russian
loss being probably more severe The
Russians reoccupied the pits
On the night Of the 18th, the French
renewed the attack, and succeeded, viii.
comparatively little loss, il driving out
the enemy's rihemcn, aud occupying the
pits with their own. The French contin-
uod to hold those on the right, under a
heavy fire, over the 10th and 18th March
On the night Of the l7th, yet another
encounter took place At o'clock IN
the evening the French, who had retired
before the fire from the batteries, march
cd down to reoccupy the ambuscadeS, but
found the Russians had anticipated them.
\ fierce conflict Immediately commenced,
but it was evident the Russians were in
strong force, and the French were again
and again borne back by the weight Of
fire. For four hours and half they per-
severed in their attempts, and ali that
time continuous roll of lnusketry rang
out, broken only by brief pauses in the
advance. In these Iulls the British could
distinctly hear the voices of the French
officers cheering on their men--'' .Ejs

that one of the parties have this morning

that the "gold mines" as they have been

and under no circumstances could a per-
son fail in washing from $s to 10 per day.
As regards myself, l am not interested in
any manner, therefore l have no object to
accomplish in stating that which has not
been sworn to before me, and that which
I honestly believe to be correct Regard
ing the safety at this present time, any
and all persons are secure IL coming to
and working the mines. The ''decree" is
very liberal, and all mining implements
can be introduced into this part free Of
duty. Yours truly,
