Indian Difficulty Mt Chico.

The Alta. of last week, contained an ac-
count of difficulty which occurred at Major
Bidwelrs Ranch in this county, on Wednesday
week. Knowing the Pacific characterof the
Indians at Maj. Bidwell's we did not credit
the report. We now learn however. that the
main features of the account were correct
The difficulty was with Indians who had gone
to the Ranch for the purpose of fighting with
the Indians of Maj. Bdwell. They had taken
possession of one Of the Indian houses, and
in attempting to dislodge them the Major and
his party were fired upon. A Mr.. Schaeffer
was shot through the lungs and lived but a
short time. Five of the Indians were killed
They had not only threatened war against the
Indians living on the Ranch, but had also
threatened to take the life of Major Bilwell

Candidate for Z. 5. Senator.

We disclaim in advance all intention to dis
tract the councils of the great K n. Party of
California, or to interfere with matters which
do not concern us politically. But it seems
to us that the X. n are not disposed to give
the members of their party fair show in the
Senatorial contest, and as the one to whom we
allude is too modest to urge his own claims to
position for which he is peculiarly fitted,
(see K N. organs of last campaign,) we shall
take the liberty to mention his name in con-
nection with that position. Visions of benefits
to the California public pass through our
mind at the very thought of his name. If he
should be chosen, steamers would run free
between New York and San Francisco-the
people would have a free road to California
and miners would realize Sl8 80 per ounce
for gold dust. His position on the railroad
question we are not familiar with, but pre-
sumo he would have that free also--not aboli-
zionist free--but permit everybody to go dead
head who should take stock in it. All these
benefits may be realized: if the Legislature
will only elect the proper man The proper
man to be elected by the Nnow Nothing leg
islature, and to secure the important meas
uros above mentioned, is located geographic
ally, somewhere in the northen portion Of the
State, and i'll that respect is well qualified

would carry out the motto Of the party
