ARRIVAL OF THE COLUMBIA FURTHER FROM
Columbia from Oregon arrived at San Francisco on
Wednesday last The following is from tele-
graphic dispatch to the Sacramento Union.
The Indian news from South Oregon is that Indi-
an hostlties still exist in Illinois and Deer Creek
Valleys. -Four white men were killed and l2O an
imals taken by the Indians.
On Sunday 23d ult., Mr.. Wright partner of
Vannoy, in company with some six men, left Hayes
nlace. at the head of Deer Creek Valley, for Van
noy's Ranch. After travelling some six miles, they
found themselves suddenly surrounded by Indians.
Mr. Wright was killed. but his companions escaped
and returned to Hayes, where. it appears, some
seventy-fve volunteers were encamped A second
party went out to ascertain the whereabouts of the
enemy, when they were also attacked, not far from
the same place. A. Caldwell was killed. Four
pack trains consisting of some eighty mules, were
encamped in the vicinity and are reported to have
been captured. One of the packers had his animal
shot from under him, and one man, John Davis,
was killed. The Indians had all their own way in
Illinois Valley from Sunday to Wednesday, the To-
cality being marked by smoke from burning build
ings and Iesounding of firearms The Indians
attacked the settlement while Capt. Smith had gone
down the river to effect a junction with COL Bu-
chanan at Big Meadows. About 200 Indians were
in the attacking party.
Indian News--Northem Oregon. The Indians,
it seems, have by coup de main withdrawn all the
regulars who have been wintered in Vancouver's to
the east side of the Cascades, made show of de-
iance at White Salmon, burned a house or two,
killed and drove off quantity of stock, and com
mitted other depredations, whereupon all the avail
able force of the regular army were ordered to
move to the Indian country. The volunteers also
were about to cross Snake river and give the ndl-
ans BATTLE at the last accounts from them At this
iuncture, it seems the Indians have divided their
forces, and by military ruse, have placed large
war party between both the regulars, volunteers,
and the settlers. On Tuesday night, 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 had with either the regular
forces or the volunteers now on the field The In
dams 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 Vancouver, sta
ting that the Indians were within six miles of that
place, and were laying waste the country over
which they travelled, numbering all ages, sex and
condition of people.

The STATE JOURNAL. The State Journal has ac-
quired very widespread notorety for lying--ev-
cry body says it lies; but we have quit paying any
attention to its very romantic narratives, except
when personally concerned. The S. F. Ece. Nears
treats of this unrghteous propensity of its up-rver
cotemporary, in this wise:
Long ago we have noticed this tendency in the
writer for the State Journal and have come to re-
gard it in the same light that do other irregular
mental phenomena Some men have been known
to labor under a delusion that they were ROSTERS,
and have kept up tremendous growing some
women, that they were constructed of glass, and
were in constant dread of being cracked. Some
men can not distinguish green from blue, or yellow
from red. When we meet with such cases altho'
it may be impossible to account for their existence
we are impressed with feeling of commsera-
ton and pity. So we ought to feel in regard to
the disease of the man of the State Journal he
has as great an aversion for the truth as mad dog
has for deep water, and a man with the hydropho-
bia would not be thrown into stronger convusions
by having gin-cocktail poured down his throat,
than would the State Journal man by the cramming
of a fact into one of his articles His sensations
would be as novel that of young bride the first
time she was hugged-only we very much doubt if
he would have the same desire for repeating the
experiment, as in that case.'

TT RAINS The gttering, cheering rain-drop is
flying in the air, sporting among the pine leaves,
and dancing down the hill sides running into ditch
es and rushing down ravines bringing joy to
all hearts and money to all pockets. These Cali
fornia rains are a very transformations afair--no
rushing of winds and hurrying here and there of
big-bellied thunder clouds-the concentrated va
pors let go their pearly drops, which come down
Like blessings as they are, from Heaven. Portia
must in her time have spent a 'rainy season =
among the gold hills of the Pacific coast. When
the grass in the valleys scared and the Indians
prospect for harvest looked dark after long days
of drouth and nights that burst and left no ray of
vapor on the red sky, saddening the poor digger
and bespeaking a lean on the rowing cattle, the
"gentle rain was indeed a mercy-twice blessd
as it dropped from Heaven upon the place be-
meath" 1t blest the poor Indian, who sung his
thankfulness in rude p@ans to the Great Spirit
ard blest the Giver of his daily bread.
But who will say how many times blessed is this
rain? The miner in the plaeers, the farmer in the
valleys have long and anxiously looked and prayed
for rain-the grazier and the vinegrower have sor-
rowed to see their dying cattle and blasted vines
Just as Hope withering flies" and hearts grow
sick of long watching, the clouds gather, the win
dows of Heaven opened and the glorious foods
descend, making glad the hearts Of ALL and calling
forth thanks from every tongue The State reoices!
and the world the world that looks to us for gold
will be gladdened with the tdngs

COUNTY SEAT. In agitatng the removal of
County Seat in this County, Placervlle and its
friends have manifested a disposition to trample on
the wishes of their immediate neighbors. Not con-
tent with asking for an arbitrary removal by act
of the Legislature, the Placervans in their gree
diness demand a special election, when they have
not single petitioner praying submission of the
question of removal to the people, while thousands
demonstrate earnestly against a special election
and all action in the premises. A respectable and
numerously signed petition from the citizens of
Diamond Springs was presented to the Legislature
while the matter was pending in the Assembly, re-
monstrating against special elections, and praying
if the question was submitted to the people, for the
privilege of voting for first and ''second" choice.
In accordance with this petition of the taxpayers
of Diamond Springs, Hon. w. H. Taylor framed
and moved the following substitute for section
first of the Bill which passed the Assembly March
2lst compelling the people to vote for Placerville
or Coloma.
Sec l. The Board of Supervisors of FL Dorado
County SHALL at least four weeks prior to the next
general election make proclamation to the voters
of said county and shall cause the said proclama-
ton to be published in all the newspapers of said
county, as often as the may be issued, that at
the said next general election, the question of the
Removal of the County Seat shall be voted on by
the qualified voters of said county, and stating the
form of the ballot to be used at said election which
shall be as follows
"For County Seat--First Choice" and "For
County Seat--Second Choice" to be voted for on
one ballot and naming the place to be voted for as
the first choice and the place voted for as second
choice and the said ballots shall be cast and count
cd in the same manner those cast for the officers
to be chosen at the said election, prorided that no
place or town shall be voted for as both first and
second choice on the same ballot and each ballot
shall contain the name of town as first choice,
and the name of town second CHOICE or it shall
be rejected The returns or votes SO cast for a
County Seat shall be made to the County Clerk, as
in manner provided by law.
The amendment of Mr.. Taylor was lost
This wholesome provision was violently opposed
by the friends of Placerville. The inhabitants of
the Ravine city appear to think that the wishes of
their immediate neighbors in Diamond Springs can
pass unheeded. The taxpayers of Diamond can
not be heard, not even be treated with decent at
tention by the advocates Of Placerville. We are
much mistaken if the petitioners of Diamond
Springs do not yet demand a hearing in manner
not to be misunderstood. A.

THE S. F. GLOBE Us. P. Nj. S. Co. The Globe
goes into the Co. like bricks because the agents of
the Co. said, on application, that they had no au-
thority to place delegates to the Cincinnati Con-
venton the dead-head list for a passage to New
York, The Globe calls attention to the fact that
the Co. receives annually from the Government the
handsome sum of S750,000 for mail service--a aud
that it was recently benefited to the amount of a
half million additional, by the transportation of
troops and munitions of war to Oregon; and, it
might have added, both the mail service and the
transportation of troops might have been had for
considerably less money than that paid the P. M.
s. Co." But the Globe says nothing about the U.
S. Government or U. S. Treasury--no bit of it
the Steamship Co. is employed quoth the editor,
by Democratic Administration /; receives an an
nual stipend of S750,000 from Democratic Ad-
ministration and now the ungrateful soulless cor
poraton, hasn't authorized its agents to deadhead
delegates through to New York, to help build up
another Democratic Administraton--th thankless
wretches If the Steamship Co. has received from
the public treasury at Washington only fair COM
pensaton for services rendered the public, there is
no Indebtedness to the peoples agents at Washing
ton for doing what is their duty, and for which
they are literally paid by their employers If the
Co. is under obligation to the Administration, it is
for the public money paid it more than the same
service would have cost from Others and the Ad-
mnistration has been stealing the public funds
The Globe speaks Of the Company as bloated
with the largesscs it has drawn from Democratic
Government Webster defines Largess pres
ent; gift or donation; bounty bestowed" That
explains how this corporation has succeeded in get
ting S750,000 per annum for mail service which
responsible parties asked the privilege of perform
ing at much lower figures The surplusage was
presents gifts or donations; bounties bestowed
and now that the Steamship concern has been sur
feted with Administration favors, it concludes the
California representation is rather hefty' and re-

To CAPITALISTS In another column appears an
advertisement bearing this caption. The quartz
lead has been held since 81, when it was taken up
and prospected. The company submitted it to a
further test during the past three months and it
turns out as rich black gold-bearing quartz can
be found in the State. The gold is very evenly
distributed through the rock. We have seen sam
pies of the quartz that is crushed at Kern River,
Browns Valley, Grass Valley, and other quartz To-
calities, and none of them appeared as regularly

Rowe s. Co.'s PIONEER CIRCUS will exhibit in
Coloma on Thursday 10th inst The Bay and
Sacramento papers are lavish in praise of the equi-
page of the establishment and the performances
of TIE artists composing the troupe. Wallet, the
Clown, is reputed the best that travels From all
accounts it is one of the most complete circuses in
the Union. The proof of the pudding, however, is
in eating it; and advise every body to turn out
on Thursday and see for himself.
The only person connected with the concern that
we know any thing of personally, is one of the
proprietors-JoH SMITH. Worked at with
him in the States" John and self (F. took a
job once when " out of SORTS" of plotting a raft
through the Dels y of the Wisconsin river. The
bed rock pitched and navigation was seriously OBJ
structed about the edges, and John and self never
having run the q Dels," felt somewhat uneasy; but
just as all hope seemed at an end rock took the
derned thing, and riddled it through. We foated
down. on under and around revolving log, and
never heard cared to hear Of the raft, but natu-
rally concluded it had gone to - and naturally
enough too supposed John Smith was still plotting
her. Glad to learn he's in better business.
