SAw-MnL BuRNED.-LiEdley's saw-mill, on
Bear Creek, Rogue River Valley, says the Jack.
sonvillc Herald, was destroyed by fire on the
night of the 7th inst. The fire originated from
some one employed in the mill knocking ashes
out of his pipe, which, falling in the saw dust
in the pit under the MILL set it on fire. 1t was
not discovered until it had progressed too far
to admit of being checked.

INDIAN DISTURBANCES AT HONEY LAKE.-by
CrandaIl's stage, which arrived at Placerville
on Saturday, from Genoa, in Carson Valley,
exciting and important intelligence has been
received from that section. A telegraphIc DIS
patch to the Sacramento papers states that Wm'
Morehead arrived at Genoa five minutes prevl-
GUS to the leaving of the stage. with news from
Honey Lake Valley. A large number OF Pit
River Indians came into the valley, joined with
the Washoes, and commenced stealing stock
vegetables and other provisions. Their num-
bers are so great that the whites are destitute
of the means of protection, and fear for theiT
lives. Mr.. Morehead asks aid from the Super
intendent of Indian Affairs in California imme-
diately, and warns parties intending to move
into the valley with families this winter, not to
risk their lives by so doing. Mr.. Morehead lef'
Honey Lake Valley, at q late hour on Tuesday
night, the 18th instant, and rode through to
Washoe Valley without halting.

RIcH QUARTZ DIscovERY.-About three weeks
ago, Mr.. Lowell and another man took up q
quartz lead at Woods Ravine. They got out
thirteen tons of rock, had it crushed at the
American Hill Mill, and on Saturday, cleaned
up 5,lG6 in gold. This, we believe, is the
richest lead ever discovered in the neighbor-
hood OF Nevada--paying as it does. fraction
over $400 ton. In 1851 mill was erected
for the purpose of crushing rock from this same
lead, but the company failed before the rock
was fairly tested. A Aportion of the lead has
been held by Mr.. Harvey, for some years, who
has contented himself with merely working
enough on the lead to hold the title, believing
it would eventually be valuable. Mr.. Harvey
owns some two thousand feet Of the lead This
discovery is likely to increase the quartz excite

w' The PROPOSED New TERRITORY. -Meetings
have recently been held at Carson and Honey
Lake Valleys and active measures taken to
induce Congress to organize territorial gov
eromeut east of the Sierra Nevada mountains.
Judge J. M. Crane has been appointed dele
gate TO represent the interests of the people OF
that section in Washington, and will leave on
the steamer of the 5th proximo. Commissioners
have been appointed to .pply to the Legislature
Of California, to procure the ccssion of all the
States real or supposed claims to the coun-
try east of the divide Of the Sierra Nevada, to
the proposed territory. We have no data for
estimating with any degree of accuracy the
white population of that section. They pro-
badly number from eight to twelve thousand.
But the fertile vallies along the eastern foot
hills Of the mountains ore rapidly filling up
with hardy and industrious agricultural pop
ulation, and in another year, or by the time q
territorial government can be organized, the
population will doubtless be double what It is
at present. Believing that II will materially
advance their interests to be set of from Utah
Territory, we sincerely trust they may be sue
cessful in their application.

From California. Sicars-ua Sc,

The George Law which arrived at New
York on Tuesday from Aspinwall, brings
California dates to December 2lst., and from
Central America to Janurry 1st.
The California news is principally in re-.
ference to some important decisions just
made by the Supreme court of that State.
The court decide the whole State d.bt,
amounting to $4,000, 600, to have been con-
trscted Illegally, yet numerous meetings of
the people have been held protesting agsins:
Reputation, and the debt doubtless be re-
cognized by the legislature and paid. a
lot Of San francisco script is also declared
to be Illegal. The city is declared not to be
bafilcd for the payment Of s376, 900 for a
lot purchased for county buildings. And
the court sanctions the seizure Of Fremont's
Mariposa grant, for taxes, and the estate
will be sold unless the taxes are paid.
The accounts from Nicaragua continue
vague, but seem to indicate that Walker is
as usual, "on his last legs" No tidings
had been received of Walker for several
days. lie had seized all the steamers Oh
the lake and San Juan river for his cwn use.
At last accounts, Walker was within one
league of Rivaa, where he was preparing to
attack Ryss, who has coo men well fed and
supplied with munitions. Walkers men
were badly cf. with q scanty supply of pro-.
visions, and were dying eli rapidly with
dysentcrv. His losses since Nov. 9th are
stated at go. while those Of the enemy
were inconsiderabic. Two hundred of his
men, hcn,,ned in at the Church Of Gauda-
loupc, in Grenada, were destitute Of water
ana were subsi>tiig on their horses. They
nevertheless obstina,ely refused quarter Of

County JuigssiIp.

The election for county Judge on Tues
day, to FIJI the vacancy occasioned by the
death of Judge Cotton, resulted in the
choice of John c. Champlin, Esq, by about
coo majority. We do not claim the election
of Mr.. Champlin as party triumph, al
though it is undoubtedly true, as the Re
publican of last week affirmed, that he was
brought out by "the Douglas democracy"
and supported by that party, who, RePubli-
can as he is, preferred him to either Of the
other candidates, on the ground that he was
more liberal in his political vic~s. and had
the independence to oppose Owen Lovcjoy
at the last election, on the ground CT his ul-
ira aboli.;onism, the democracy Judging
with reason that a man Of such independ-
ence politically could not fail to make an in
dependent and upright judge.
The following are the returns as far as re-
ceiyed up to last evening:

NForced to the conclusion stated, large
portion Of our fellow citizens, myself among
them, have resisted the contamination as we
best could, and believing that not the fate of
the negro alone, but the liberties of the white
man-of all men, are Involved in the issue,
we shall continue to resist according to our
best ability.
In doing this we shall ever be careful mel
Their to forget nor to disregard the value of
the Union, the obligations of the Constitu-
ton. nor even tho courtesies due our breth-
rem Of the South.
Our present revenue is ample Tor all our
purposes. 1t is fair to presume, that win
a reasonably economical management on tne
part Of the officers of our State. we shaii
forever, hereafter, escape the inputa'ions OF
delinquency in the payment of our debts
| recommend urgently upon you the most
rigid economy, in which, be assured. you
shall have my most cheerful aid and sup
port. By such means We shall, in very
few years, have extinguished our State debt,
when Illinois will stand before the world in
an enviable position. To accomplish this, it
is but necessary that we pursue the system
SO happily inaugurated by my immediate
prsdscessor-ever bearing in mind that eco
ncmy is the true secret Of national as well
as individual prosperity.
Called to the Executive Chair without any
desire on my part for such position Of re-
sponsibility, assume the duties with conf
dence, not in any ability of my own, but IN
the knowledge that shall be assisted by the
counsels of good men, experienced in the
affairs of state, and by the cheerful and
hearty cooperation of the whole people, in
all laudable efforts to develope her material
wealth and advance her civilization. If q
kind Providence shall spare my life for the
term to which the people have elected me,
shall hope to retire from the Office, carrying
with me the consciousness Of having con
tribu:ed, far as was in my power, TO the
development of the wealth, and the high
moral and social position Of our noble State.
That our high hopes and expectations in
regard to the future greatness Of our State
may be fully realized, let us work for its
contamination with that harmony and mH-
tual good feeling which insure success
trusting that an overruling, but always
kind, Providence will smile upon our efforts,
aud bless US with peace and prosperity, and
a continuance te ourselves and our prosper
ty, Of the blessings Of constitutional liberty.
