Weed has had nothing Of any consequence TO do
with the formation and organization Of the re-
publican party, and deserves no greater favor at
their hands than any other politician.
As to Preston King be is much better on the
shelf, at the head of some harbor commission,
than he would be in the Senate. We want some
new blood; these old fogies reeking of the Albany
regime, win not do.
We adhere to our original list Of five candi-
dates. II our contemporary the Tribune is not
aware that either Horace Greeley, or James Wat
son Webb, or Henry J. Raymond, or William G.
Bryant would take the Senatorshp, then it is
very illinformed; and we affectionately advise it

chosen; the Senatorship belongs by right to the

LATER AND GooD FROM KERN RIvER.-1he
San Joaquin Republican publishes a portion
of a letter dated Kern River, March Goth, as
follows:
Capt Maltby is now engaged in erecting
his machinery for crushing quartz, at Kern
River Mr. Reese, the oldest quartz miner
in this part of the country, says his ledge
has paid him twenty ounces to the ton OF
rock for the last four months. He is now
using four drostras. Snowdon IL Co. have
been working their quartz ledge five weeks
during which time they have extracted
1886 to the ton of rock Lynch &Williams
claim has paid about 500, and the Messrs.
Harmon apout Sl60 per ton. The two latter
companies are new beginners and lnexperl-
enced, and think they will do better after
a while. The Lightener has been yielding
fair wages and | understood their rock has
improved very much within the last week.
Gatewood q Co. have very rich claim; they
have just commenced grinding, and their
prospects are as good as the best. Bradshaw
Il Co. have the largest vein in the country;
it is about five feet thick, and pays cents
per pound With one arasta in five weeks,
thew have taken out $l.700. A large num-
Der of quartz veins are now being prospected
and | think, from appearances, that within
two months not less than one hundred
arastras will be at work here. Capital to
erect machinery is all that is required to
make this the most productive quartz mining
country in the State We have good water
proof power, and all the veins are in the
vicinity of the river There are twenty
quartz leads here to where there is one III
the northern mines, and nnty-nlne out OF
the hundred will pay better than the best
of theirs.
N,~ Orrcrs11vER MrxE-While at the
city of San Jose the present week, we were
presented by VIM. Forst, Esq, with a very
handsome specimen of cinnabar from this
mine. From him we learn that the mine
indicates great prosperity to the proprietors
and the specimen presented us is of great
richness and beauty. The mine is called the
Guadaloupe Quicksilver Mine, and is situated
at the western extremity of the same range
of hills with New AImaden. 1t is approach
ed from San Jose by an excellent carriage
road, and the distance is about nine miles.
The mine was worked for few months in
1850, but work was suspended for want Of
funds. A new company, in Baltimore, Mary
land is now actively engaged in opening the
mine and arranging for immediate construc-
ton of furnaces. The work thus far has ex-
posed large quantities of cinnabar and of
the best quality. About thirty men are at
work and this number is soon to be increased.
The works are under the superintendent Of
Eben Faxon, Esq, who came to California
for the purpose of taking charge of the open
ing and development Of the mine.

Indian News-Northern Oregon.

The Indians, it seems, have by coup de
main withdrawn all the regulars who have
teen wintering in Vancouvers to the east
side of theCascades, made show of defiance
at White Salmon, burned a house or two,
killed and drove off a quantity of stock, and
committed other depredations, whereupon
all the available force of the regular army
we're ordered to move TO the Indian country.
The volunteers also were about to cross Snake
river and give the Indians battle, at the last
account from them. At this juncture, it
seems. the Indians have divided their forces,
and by military ruse, have placed a large
war party between both the regulars, voun-
teers. and the settlers. On Tuesday, 25th
ult.. the Indians, supposed to number 800,
attacked the Cascades, and at the latest
dates were in full and complete possession Of
the only means by which communication
can be held with either the regular forces
or the volunteers now in the field. The
Indians have burned every building at the
Cascades they have captured and destroyed
the steamer Mary, killed large number Of
the citizens and are fighting with the forces
in the Block House.
On receipt of the news at Portland, the
Fashion and Belle were dispatched with 40
volunteers and 40 regulars, but were unable
to materially assist those in the Block
House.
A letter had been received from Vancou-
yer stating that the Indians were within six
miles of that place, and were laying waste
the country over which they travelled, muir
dering all ages, sex and condition OF people.
