The march to Massaya spending the night without
sleep, fighting all next day until morning, marching
back and gaining such splendid victory at Canada,
is, prababy the greatest test OF American enduronce
and bravery that has ever occurred.
In the same paper of the date there is an ac-
count Of the horrible murder Of four non.combatant
American citizens at Granada by the enemies of Nj
| caragua, which we are compelled to omit.
The Nicaraguense of the 18th, says further:
| OUR ENEMIES Observation-Disclosures on which
we can rely, brought into Granada this morning,
states that the remnants of the Allied forces are pre-
pairing to wlthraw from Massaya They are sending
their sick forward to Leon and taking other prelim
nary steps for speedy evacuation Of Massaya This
is now, with them, matter Of choice if delayed a
few days, We under the impression it would be-
| come stern necessity
The Nicaraguense, of the 25th contains many in
teresting items, of no immediate moment, however,
which will be duly attended to hereafter.
Fourteen Days Later from California.
By the arrival last evening of the steamship
Tennessee, from San Juan, we have received
San Francisco papers up to the Goth October The
news is generally interesting. We extract from the
summary of the Of the preceding fortnight con-
tanned in the steamer edition of the Bulletin the fol
lowing items:
STATE.-Since our last steamer edition several fires
have taken pacc.sOne occurred in Minnesota, Sierra
county, which destroyed nearly the whole town.
Fourteen buildings were also destroyed at Gold Hill,
abont thirteen miles from Nevada. Several buildings
near Grass Valley, on the Nevada road, were also
burned the next day. On the 7th October, destruc
tive five occurred at Pacerville by which property to
the amount Of over $50, 900 was consumed. The city is
being rebuilt in very substantial style Brick build
ings already occupy large portion OF the district
formerly burnt over.
During the past fortnight rain has fallen in DIFF
norte al 10 thp
mountains of the Sierra Nevada. On the Sth Octo
ber, to the depth of eight inches fell at Bear Val
ley, Nevada county. On the Feather river many
miners were driven from their claims, and several
wing dams and fumes were carried away. Copious
showers have also fallen in the southern portion of the
State. The weather has been much cooler through
out the State Ice an inch in thickness was formed
near Placeryle, at Grizzly Flat Our miners, far
ners and stock raisers are we'll pleased table pub
lshed showing the number of rainy days i'll each Of
the past seven winters ives an average OF about
6l days per year.
On the 25l ult at about half past II clock P NJ,
severe shocks of earthquake experienced in San
Diego county. The Indians and cattle were much
frightened and sleepers generally disturbed, but no
great damage was done.
In Marposa the people are moving heaven and
earth to induce capitalists to make investments in
tlumng and ditch speculations to supply the miners
with water 1t seems, however, that the miners will
have to take shares themselves and also do most OF
the work. On Buckeye creek, at Red Banks, Sher-
locks and different places on the Merced river in that
county, the claims represented paying very
we'll. In Tuoumne county, though water is scarce,
great preparations being made for the coming
season. and large quantities of paying dirt are heaped
to be washed in winter On the Calaveras river the
rains have enabled the miners to commence opera
tons which the long drouth has for some time past
prevented. Rich discoveries have been lately made
| at Red Bar, near San Andreas. Near San Juan
North, which is well supplied with water from the
J South Yuba, hydraulic mining is very successful.
Further north, on the Salmon and klamath rivers,
the owness of the waters has permitted the miners to
drain thoroughly the beds Of the streams which pay
we'll. The success Of those engaged in placer min
ing generally is said to be extraordinarily good The
rivers having fallen early, are well drained. The
deep diggngs also easily worked, and the hill
diggngs also paying well and the miners in good
spirits. Tunnel mining at Monte Cristo is also said
to be particularly successful From the quartz dis.
trcts the most favorable reports continue to be
ceived. New discoveries of rich veins have been
made near Quartzburg, Marposa county, and mills
are being erected on Bold creek In Caaveras county
near Angels Camp similar discoveries and rich yields
are spoken Of. mill with twenty-four stampers is
contemplated there in the spring. Much prospecting
is also going and other discoveries are anticipated
In Hope Valley, veins of copper, gold and silver
l some fifteen or twenty have been discovered by DIR
Brewster, State Surveyor, who is of the opinion that
native copper will also be found there and that these
are not the main or mother veins.
: Carson and Washllo Valleys, on the eastern side o
the Sierra Nevada fast filling up by immigration
from &at lake and parts of this State. About ,00t
head Of cattle which arrived with this years migra
ton are recruiting there. One hundred families are
already located there, and two hundred more from
I Salt Lake are expected in the Spring. A village
5 named Franktown, cotanng already twenty-five
! dwellings, has sprung up in Washho valley. Consid
cradle quantities Of butter already come from these dis
1rlcts, 500 pounds being received at Pacervile i'll
single day.
J. The Calaveras immigrant route from Carson Valley
. by way of the Big Tree to Murphys is now open ant
considerably travelled 1t is now reputed the best an'
j. shortest road for immigrants, and next year, early il
the spring, mail line of stages will run regularly
/ Carson Valley is fast filling up.
Large quantities Of freight still pouring int
It the mines for winter supplies.
Troubles with the Indians have occurred near ium
