Is FUNDs.-A search warrant was procured
last Sunday to search a houst occupied by some
Spanish people, near the court house. The
search was made by Mr.. Tompkins, the Deputy
Marshall. who found in the house, according TO
his estimate, between $40 900 and $4,000 in
gold coin, large quantity Of jewelry, aud
some four or five thousand dollars of Adams q
Co.'S. certificates of deposit. The experience of
the owners of the coin in making deposits,
doubtless induced them 10 become their own
bankers, The stolen property for which the
warrant was procured was not found.

IMPORTANT FROM UTAH.-The Marysville Her
aid has received intelligence from Utah, Of an
important character If true. The information
is derived from q man named Martin, who left
Col. Alexander's camp, on Hams Fork, about
lao miles east of Salt Lake, on the I'd Of 0cto-
ber, and travelling north Of the Mormon settle
ments, arrived in Honey Lake Valley on the
10th of November. 1t seems that Col. Alexan-
der is in command Of the advance regiment Of
the forces designed for Utah. and COL Johnston,
who was in command of the main body, had not
at the time Mr.. Martin left Hams Fork arrived
at that place. Brigham Young had sent proc
lamaton to Col Alexander, forbdding all arm
ed forces of every description from coming into
Utah on any pretence whatever; commanding
the forces Of the Tarrtory to hold themselves
in readiness to march at q moments notice to
repel invasion, and declaring martial law in the
Territory. The proclamation is dated Sept 10Th,
and is signed by Brigham Young, as Governor
and Superintendent of Indian Affairs for the
Territory of Utah. Mr.. Martin states that cou
riers we're constantly passing back and forth
from Salt Lake to some point east of Hams
Fork, who were supposed to be watching the
movements of Col. Johnston and he is also of
the opinion that before this time battle has
been fought.
There is reason to doubt the correctness of
this intelligence. The proclamation is dated
the 18th of September but persons who left
Salt Lake City month later have no knowl-
edge of such proclamation having been issued.
If it was really promulgated. as stated, II must
among the government troops. The procama-
tion, however, is in keeping with the other acts
and declarations of the Mormon prophet, and
should it prove to be hoax, it is one very well
calculated to deceive.

TRIAL OF BATEs.-The second trial OF Henry
Bates late State Treasurer was had last week.
before the Court of Sessions of Sacramento, and
resulted as in the previous trial, in disagree
ment of the jury, who stood seven for convc-
tion and five for acquital Another jury was
empanneled, and the third trial was set for yes
terday. There are three indictments against
Bates, neither of which have been disposed of.
Among all the State officers elected since the
organization Of the State government, none
have proved so corrupt and dishonest as the
late Treasurer. Imbecility of mind is the only
excuse which has been urged in his favor, even
by bis friends, but the investigation of his Off
cial acts has shown conclusively that a want of
flrmness is not his molly offense. There is a def
cheney in his accounts Of some seventy thousand
dollars, independent Of the one hundred and
twenty-four thousand dollars paid to E. A.
Rowe, which he has never accounted for. This
money was drawn from the State Treasury
contrary to law; the fact is not denied; and yet
on two occasions juries have failed to find
verdict. We should take no pleasure in learn
ing that DR.. Bates had been sentenced to a long
term in the Penitentiary; but there is not a
doubt as to his guilt, and his conviction is nee
essary as an example to deter others from spec
ulating with the States money, or using it for
their own private purposes.

given at San Juan, on the Sd of November,
Connecticut, where his parents now reside. An
effort was being made to procure for him free
passage on the steamer, but with what success
we hive not learned. The net proceed. of the
ball amounted to S5l7, which will be amply
sufficient to defray all his expenses. He left in
charge of two acquaintanees, who agreed to

OREGoN.-The Crescent City Herald, Of a re-
cent date, has returns form few counties in
Southern Oregon. The vote averages about
the same as that heretofore reported, and there
can now be no doubt that the Constitution has
been adopted, slavery rejected, and the settle
ing of free negroes in the State prohibited by
a large majority. Jacks on county alone, so far
as heard from, has given a majority for slavery.

turned out S29 ton. The lead is a very heavy
one and the rock can be got Ort, haulsd to the

dollars ton. A mill was erected upon this

an expense of forty or City thousand dollars
but the first rock crushed paid but little. and
the stockholders becoming discouraged, the
lead was abandoned, the mill taken down, and

A LIBEL CASH.. Walter Walsh, editor of
the Sunday Varieties, was examined before the
Police Judge of San Francisco, last Friday, on
. charge of libel, preferred against him by A.
n. Heslep, editor of the Pldindedler The pros
ecution proved that on or about the 25th of
November, the defendant published in the Kari-
cites wood cut, representing two human figures,
the one with bare head. hair brushed fercely
back, and prominent nose on which sat pair
Of spectacles. The other figure was of a short
dumpy little man, half buried in an immense
hat, which shadowed face void of any partic-
ular expression. Beneath the cut was the fol-
lowing: 1.-The editor Of the Bulletin aud the
chaste and moral A. N. Heslep, in consultation
As to how they can prevent the truth from ap-
pcsring in the Varieties. Mr.. Byrne, for the de-
fendant, said that if the prosecution was pressed
the defense would be forced to the disagreeable
necessity Of proving that all which was publish
ed against Mr.. Heslep was true, and being true
TO publish it was no libel The defendant was
held in the sum of $500 to answer OF the Court
Of Sessions.

RoNDo Judge Coon, of San Francisco, has
decided that rondo is not banking game, and
til erefore is not prohibited by the act of 1857.
He holds that it is a game of chance, and pro.
hibited by the act of 1855. The law of 1857
does not in terms repeal that of 1855, neither
are its provisions repugnant to or conflicting
with the latter act. The Judge, therefore, holds
that both acts are in force.

From ARIzoXA-Thc San Francisco Globe has
obtained the following information from Mr.. Z
S. Belcher, who recently arrived in that city
from the southern coast:
Mr.. b. has been engaged for some time as
Superintendent of Silver Mine in the vicinity
of Tucson. He informs us that the Apachas
had visited Fort Buchanan, aud driven off all
the stock belonging 10 the U. S. troops. save
that of one company, who happened to be alb
sent at the time Oh scout. Loud complaints
are made in the territory, of the ineflicicncy of
tue troops in protecting the country from the
marauding incursions Of these savages, and as
might well be imagined, the commanding officer
Major Stein, is blamed for his want OF activity
In pursuing them. The other officers it is said,
are anxious TO overtake aud punish them, but
are permitted TO pursue them but a short dis
tance, when they are recalled. When Mr.. Bel
cher left chils and fever prevailed to q consid-
cradle extent in the vicinity of Tucson and
Tubac.
On his return to this city Mr.. B. visited the
mines of Arizona Copper Mining Company.
This company gives employment to about one
hundred men. Large quantities of rich ore are
now being forwarded to the Colorado river. and
the prospects of the Company are said to be
quite hattering. Mr.. Tomlinson finds no diffi-
Guilty in hauling after the arrival of his broad
tyre wagons. The furnace for smelling the ore
which has been erected under the snpertendence
of an experienced smclter. is said TO work admi-
rably. There is no longer complaint of the
scarcity of water so general in that country.
and which has formed 50 great an obstacle to
the development of the resources Of that rich
mineral region.
