Further from the Plains.

We are happy in being able to state
that the account which we published last
week--in which it was supposed that Mr..
Fine and family, with others, were mur-
dered-has proven to be mistake, not
wIthstanding the account given us by
MIR. Fine was true in every particular,
and he had great reason to believe, from
his being able to hear nothing of them,
that they were lost-the presumption be-
ing that they were killed by Indians
Since that time-and but few days ago
the train arrived, and on Thursday
last, Messrs. Fine and Job, parties of the
train, gave us an account of the circum-
stances of their delay, being unavoidably
detained in Salt Lake longer than they
anticipated, which led to the supposition
that they had been murdered.
Their report corroborates all the other
statements made by different immigrants
in relation to the avowed hostility of the
Mormons towards the United States, and
their threats of vengeance upon Harvey
and his men, if they attempt to enter Salt
Lake Valley And also, the Mormons
are closely leagued with the Indians, pro-
viding them with arms, and furnishing
with provisions large band of them who
are camped in the vicinity of the city
proper. After leaving Salt Lake, they
were attacked at night, twenty. five miles
east of the City of Rocks, by large
band, supposed to be Indians, who charged
in among the stock, firing off their revol-
vcrs and causing stampede, by which
they lost but twenty head out of eight
hundred. This took place on the night
of September 10th. On the 18th, at
10 o'clock, A. NJ, as they were passing
in the vicinity of City Rocks, charge
was made by Indians suddenly bursting
out from among the cedar copse near the
road, cutting off seventy or eighty head
of cattle Two men, who were in the
rear, and driving the stock, attempted to
stop the cattle as they were being run off,
when one of them, by the name of Robt
Ball, was badly wounded; the other, VIM
Bailey, was lost sight of, and they never
saw or heard of him since, and are not
aware whether he was killed or carried
off prisoner. While the cattle were
being driven off by part of the band,
the emainder-aboutth thirty in number
kept circling around the train for some
time, in order to prevent pursuit. Three
of this number, our informants feel posi-
tive, were white men the rest supposed
to be Indians For many days after that
they are very confident they were fol-
lowed and watched, but no further at
tacks were made upon them.

THE RAIN.-Tuesday, about Ii o clock
A. NJ, it commenced raining very slightly
and continued increasing gradually till
night, when it had become a steady,
soaking rain, which kept up almost con-
stantly till about 10 o'clock Thursday
morning, being, in all, about forty eight
hours of steady rain and the heaviest we
recollect of ever having seen in this coun-
try SO early in the season. While it
will undoubtedly drive out most of those
who have been at work in the river-beds,
it will still prove of general benefit, as it
will give persons an opportunity to pros
pcct in dry diggings and produce new
life and activity in most mining camps.
Besides, if the rain has been general, and
as large quantities have fallen, in proper
tion, higher up in the mountains, it viii
keep up the mountain steams, and thus
furnish an abundant supply to the water
bitches, to the great benefit of the miners,
and as necessary consequence, prove
advantageous to all other classes. The
Table Mountain Ditch Company are pre-
parlns to bring the water In through
their ditch, and as this supplies Cave
City, FL Dorado Diggings, Old Gulch,
~
French Gulch, and large portion of the
mining section about this place, il. will
furnish water for very large number of
miners. A portion of Capt Pope's dam,
Mt the head of his ditch, on Willow Creek
was washed away on Thursday. The
Union Ditch, leading from Murray Greek
has been cleaned out and put in proper
repair lately, and win, no doubt, bring in
water next week. We understand that
large quantities of dirt, carted out of the
bed of the North Calaveras, and piled MP.
have been washed away. Mr. Stephenson,
near the North Branch, has lost his en-
tire summers work. G. Tomey & Co. 5
dam, on the South Fork, which was not
quite finished, was swept away. The
Main Calavcras was not fordable at Greas-
crtown on Thursday, and is said to have
been within eighteen inches as high as
at any time du ring last winter.

BUSINESS IN STocKT0N.-For a month past
business has been agreeably lively in this city,
there having been more freight discharged at

during any similar period for several years
Besides the regular daily shipments by the
steam packets, the wharvcs are Uttered with
goods from sailing crafts constantly arriving
There were sixteen sail of vessels discharging
yesterday-all apparently laden to their ca
pacIty The streets were thronged with the
monster wagons for which Stockton is famous,
anu every body appeared to have all the busi-
ness ON hand that could be attended to- We
are safe in saying that there is not town in
California, out of San Francisco. that does so
large, and so transformations business as
STOCKTON does-and with so little expense or
annoyance in the way of taxation. Certain it

STocKToy AND French CAMP GRAVEL ROAD
We are pleased to learn says the Stockton
Republican, that our business men and capital
lists arc looking into the merits of the project
that we have recently brought forward, of
building good gravel road between this city
and French Camp. We trust that Company
will be speedily organized, either under the
general corporation law or with view to OBJ
tanning special charter, in order that the
work may be commenced at once. Those ac-
quainted with the trouble and expense of con-
veying goods over this route in the winter
season, will not deem us unreasonable in say
ing that the stock of the proposed Company
will be an exceedingly profitable investment,
for the amount of capital required to make the
road. 1t is superlous to suggest the advan-
tages that will accrue to the county aud city
from the enhanced value of taxable property
and the increase of trade, consequent upon the
completion of the work.

Bsfs" As there are some vices which the
vulgar have presumed to copy from the great.
so there are others which the great have con-
descended to borrow from the vulgar. Among
these might be reckoned the practice of swear
ing, practice which, Ito say nothing of its
impety) is low and disgusting, and places the
man of quality on the same level with the
sweep at his door. 1t will be pleaded in ex-
cuse that oaths and curses are intended only
as mere expletives, which serve to round
period and give force and spirit to conversa-
ton; but if explctives are necessary, why not
substitute expressions equally unmcaning and
less offensive to the ear? There is nothing
particularly instructive or pleasing in hearing
one invoke damnaten on his soul every ten
minutes, and it may be questioned whether he
advances his character as man or a gentle
man by so doing. 1t is enough to deter any
one from this revolving practice, that those
who set the most prominent example are gen.
orally obscene bullies or profigate fools.
