George Hall tells US that General Suffer
has offered him one of his cannons to use in
celebrating the 4th, in Oroville; and if a
show of feeling commensurate with the oc-
casion can be gotten up, George will bring
the gun and requisite amount of powder;
with these together with such elements as
we have among us, once called out, we can
have the greatest Publication in the State.
Let US do something. Let the s'Buttes" an
nounce parade, invite a delegation Of the
Marysville Fire Ladies'" let our citizens
offer dinner. and procure the services Of
some orator to make fourth of July speech
and late as it is to make the arrangements
we can have one of the most glorious fourths
ever known or heard CT There is no time
to lose, so let US hold fourth of July
meeting somewhere tonight and take such
steps as shall make US ready to do justice
to the glorious occasion.

TIip 10 Honey Lake.

0. P. McCuestian, and E. Payne, of Orc
vile, have just returned from trip to
Honey Lake Valley. They went out on
trading expedition, taking with them one
thousand pounds of freight, Two PASSENGERS
and their baggage. They had pair of
light horses attached to a heavy spring wa
gon, and found no difficulty in gong through
without unloading a pound of freight, or
maing the second pull at any point The
worst feature OF the road is the rock, of all
sizes and descriptions, encountered between
Chapparel Hill and Soda Valley. Upon this
portion Of the road nothing has been done,
and they report that the principal portion
Of the labor to be performed between those
points, will be in removing the stone and
clearing the track.
They express themselves as highly de-
lighted with tn appearance of things in
Honey Lake Valley, and the country through
which the route passes. The crops in the
Valley are looking finely, and erligrant
stock which was driven into the Valley last
fall in a poor condition, were excellent
beeves in the spring, Snow to the depth
of six inches fell at one time during the
winter. but disappeared in the course of
twenty four hours.
Specimen heads of wheat grown in the
Valley, shows that the soil is capable of pro-
ducing the cereal grains in abundance.
Although yet green, these heads are large
and we'll filed, giving promise of an album
dent crop. Corn, potatoes, turnips etc..
were looking finely.
The settlers in the Valley, are very gen.
orally favorable to the route through the
Meadows, Soda Valley etc, to Oroville, as
they know it to be the best natural road
through the Mountains, and is supplied with
an abundance of grass and water. They
made the return trip in thirty hours driving
time.

Yesterday the, weather was such as to be
decidedly worthy of mention. The high
winds Of Sunday blew up great clouds. and
during the entire day Old Sol was secreted
behind them. Accompanying the misty
veil that overspread the heavens, were
great clouds of dust, causing the outer man
of pedestrians, riders upon wheeled vehicles
and horsemen, to &c look the character of
earthly tenements." Struggling down
through clouds of diminitive shavings,i nfini-
tessimal particles of s'Mother Earth" stray
bits of paper and decayed leaves, came a
few frightened, weak and hurrying rain
drops, and fell only to expire upon the
parched surface of things terrestrial Men
donned their heavy coats, pigs and candi-
dates huddled in little heaps and kuots,
stunning the dust and wind. 1t seemed as
if June were blown away, and that bleak
March had come again. Had the appointed
time of the Comet not passed harmlessly
away, we should have thought he was erals
ing the wind by frisking his huge tail
about our ears; but it must have been the
approach of the GLORIOUS Fourth " or cold
Boreas" on his own hook that kicked up
such breeze. hanging sign, crying
aloud for oleaginous matter, is swinging in
the blast within our hearing; the detached
notes of brave chaticlecr come to our
ears torn from his beak by the driving gale;
n wintery moan fingers around our roof, and
summer seems gone forever. A politician /
stands on the sidewalk opposite our office,
and as he whites an awning post, the shay
ings fly in the face of him that is being
"buttonholed," and both protestations and |
pledges are frisked away ere they are fairly
uttered. So they go, and so everything /
goes in these windy times, and well be /

Trouble with the Pit River Indians.

IfOuDEe WIN inc EltE river INDIANS.
We learn from the Siskiyou Chronicle that
fight had occurred between detachment
of troops under the command of Lieut.. Geo.
Crook and party of Indians who had stolen
lumber of cattle from the settlers in Pitt
River Valley. Says the Chronicle; A very
large number of cattle has been driven into
the Valley, where there is the best pasture
in the country The Indians had succeeded
in driving off eighty head into the country
east of the Valley. Lieut.. Crook started in
pursuit as soon as the fact was ascertained.
Being in advance with FIVE or six of his men
he came suddenly upon the Indian camp,
where they had killed some of the cattle,
and were feasting. He opened fire on them
at close quarters, and killed FIVE of them
before they got out of reach. The Indians
returned the fire with arrows, and Lieut..
Crook received wound in the thigh, the
flint point penetrating about five inches and
remaining in the wound.
The Indians have killed five head of cat
tie; the remainder were driven back to the
Valley.
On receipt of the news at Fort Jones,
Capt. Judah left with twenty five men for
the Valley, and DR.. Kinney went down on
Sunday to cut out the arrow.
