NEUTRAL TESTIMONY. The San Fran
cisco True Californian, has the following
spcculations concerning the recent election
news from the Atlantic States
":In the approaching Presidential contest
we think Kentucky certain for buchanan"
"The contest in Missouri has resulted in
the triumph Of Benton, and his branch of
the Democratic party, much to the surprise
of everybody This will give the state to
Buchanan"
The struggle is daily becoming more sec
tional, and as good citizens, the prospect
those that believe chat the election Of Fre-
mont would dissolve the Union, but we do
believe that the spirit which seems to ami
mate both sections Of the confederacy at the
present time, unless checked before another
Presidential election, will so far ALLEVIATE
them as to render their eventual separation
inevitable"
INUNDATIok.-Ihe overflow Of water in
the rear Of the town, is getting to be rather
a serious matter. We do not propose to shut
the miners out from their natural and un-
doubted rights of working the Bluffs, but it
/ is strictly necessary that something should
be done forthwith, by which this necessary
nuisance can be abated. The water in My
ers street has reached us far down in the
city as Dennison's store, and is about foot
or foot and half to two feet deep. 1t is
with great difficulty that pedestrians can
make the trip without resortlng to some
means of navigation. If some remedy is not
soon applied, the whole flat in the rear of
the town and considerable portion of the
town, will be vast lake; and besides the
annoyance, this stagnant water Will engen-
Ter sickness from which our town ought to
be most zealously guarded, particularly at
this season of the year.
From THE PLAINs.-We learn from Mr.
Willis, who arrived in town yesterday, that
la very large number of cattle are on the
way to California this season, and also that
the stock generally is in fine condition.
Mr. Willis came in company with Stowelps
train from Green county, Illinois. The com.
pany drove through about 600 head of stock,
which they stopped at Honey Lake to recruit.
They came the Mobiles route, which is re.
presented by them to be in good travelling
condition. Wood, water and grass, being
plenty.
=. Mr.. Willis tells US that there were but
three trains ahead of theirs on the route
which they came. lie says he thinks he saw
at least 10000 head of stock en- route for
California. They had two slight engage
ments with the Indians who fred into the
stock, but did no great amount of damage.
One of their attacks was made near the Sink
of the Humboldt, and the other on Raft river.
EXHUMED SCULL.--l excavatiDg the
earth for the walls of Mr. Keating's brick
house. the workmen discovered some frag-
ments of human skeleton. A scull was
taken ovt in perfect shape. The spot is pre-
sumed to have at some day been the burial,
place of some tribe of Indians, as the head
