LATER PROM CARSON vALLEY-FIIsr ARRIVAL
OF MERCHANTS FROM THE STATEs.-We clip the
following tslegraphic dispatch from Placerville,
to the Sacramento Union under date of Aug. 2:
This afternoon D. S. Tucker arrived from Rag
town, ninety miles east Of the Mormon Station,
in Carson Valley, which place he left on Wednes-
day last, July 29th.
He reports the arrival, at Rsgtown. Of the ad-
vance immigration, with their mule teams and
families. From those who had arrived he OBJ
tanned intelligence that the immigration had been
detained by the shortness of grass from the start
on the other side.
The Indians, solely actuated by a desire to
plunder, had been troublesome at place called
Stony Point, on the Humboldt. They had stolen
good deal of stock, but most of il was recovered.
Mr.. Tucker had not learned that any Of the imm-
grants had been killed.
Those who had arrived reported very large
immigration-largcr than during any previous
year since 1852.
The immigrants bad passed Kinkaid & Co.'s
train consisting of eleven hundred head of stock,
in Thousand Spring Valley. They report wagons
by the thousand on the way, and estimate the
loose stock at twenty thousand head, all in excel
lent order. Most of the immigrants were coming
by the way of Sublett's Cutoff.

WILL DO rr.-A few days since we took up a
copy OF the Sacramento Bee, in which there was
nearly column of items extracted from the jour
NAL In another place the editor returned thank
to Lundy, of Wells, Fargo Co.'s Express, for
copy Of the Trinity 7imes one of their most val
liable exchanges, and from which the aforemen-
toned items were extracted. This is not very
pleasant, the more SO because we have several
times before under similar circumstances, notified
our exchanges that the Trinity Time; had ceased
to be. The Sacramento Union has also got quite
in the notion Of giving credit to the Times for
articles extracted from this paper. Quite num-
Der of our California exchanges also send papers
to the JOURNAL, Democrat and Times. We would
say to them that the Democrat ceased to be pub
li.hed year and ahalf since, and the Tmes was
purchased by the proprietors of this paper nearly
six months ago. Should this information meet
the eye of the fraternity generally, they will do
we'll TO cross the Times and Democrat from their
exchange lists. One copy OF the various papers
sent US is plenty, whereas at present we receive
the largest portion Of the paper mail arriving at
this place.

Hindoo Problems.

With few of the facts and relations of geo.
metry, men must have been acquainted from the
earliest period. It is impossible to ascertain,
however, In what country the elements of the
science first began TO be reduced to anything
like systematic form; but while there is reason
to believe that the ancient Hindoos and Egypt
ians did something in this way, we have no au-
thentic record regarding anything that was done
on the subject, prior to the time at which the
study was introduced in ancient Greece, upwards
of six hundred years before the commencement
Of the Christian era. In that country and its
dependencies, polite literature and the fine arts
were cultivated at very early period with ex-
traordinary zeal and success and, at the same
time, the ingenious and intellectual people of the
same regions made great progress in enriching
and extending geometry. almost the sole branch
of pure science to which the energies Of the hu
man mind were directed at an early period in the
history Of man.

THANKS to J. Bennett, Esq, post master, for
copies of the Siskiyou Chronicle and Yreka Union
Of the 30th ult. This favor we appreciate the
more as we receive those excellent newspapers
so seldom.
The mines in Siskiyou are still yielding boun-
tifully to the hand OF industry.
Horse thieves have lately given evidence of
their whereabouts in the Pitt River Valley.
A Mr.. Dckman, was killed on the 4th ult.,
some little distance from Lockhart's Ferry on
Pitt River. Since which time the Chronicle, is
informed. the Indians have ceased their hostility.
Lieutenant Crook, with company of men are
stationed at " Fort Crook" SO named in honor
OF that young, brave and energetic officer, and
Of whom the Chronicle says that If be is let
alone, he will soon rid that beau .iful valley Of
oil the Indians who infest It,"
From the local gems in the columns Of the
Chronicle We think we can trace the genius of
Frank Ball. Snktaw is host in himself.

The Approaching Election.

AT the approaching election there are to be de-
termined by the people some matters of the
gravest importance to the best interests of our
State. Apart from the election Of cficers for
State departments, the questions Shall the State
debt be paid And shall we have Constitution
al Convention are now before US. It Is time we
were discussing and making up our minds as to
the position to be taken upon them. Upon the
first question there seems 10 be but one senti-
ment, and one feeling, that the honor and credit
Of the State ought to be, and at all hazards sus-
tanned With regard to the latter question there
may be more difference of opinion. 1t is how
ever we believe on all hands conceded that our
Constitutional Judiciary system is entirely too
heavy-unweildly and expensive, and that the
greater portion of the county debt throughout
the State have been created by that unnecess
wheel in our Judicial system the Court of Ses-
sions. The most certain and effective remedy
for such evils as exs. in our Constitution is by
revision of that whole instrument. But we do
not propose at this time, give our own particular
views upon this important subject our object in
writing this article is to call the attention of the
people to the fac! that they are TO vote on these
questions and TO set them right as 10 the form to
be observed. The law declares in voting on the
first proposition the words " Pay the Debt" and
" Repudiate the Debt" must be used to signify
the wish Of the voter, and in voting on the latter
proposition the words '' For a Contention - and
against Conreutior,'' must be used. Let the
people bear this in mind and no one lose his vote
through a Misunderstanding of the law
