fructifying emulation of Leah and Rachael. II would
oftimes happen, (and we say it on inexperence and
almost ignorance of woman, and beg TO be pardoned
If wrong II would often occur that the pariarchica
equilibrium would be deranged by incompatibity and
confusion among the satellites, and the music Of the
spheres might give place to the harsh dscords scod
ing, tonguelashing, caterwauling, gouging and pull
ing Of WOOL ect. The natural resort against such con
sequences would be the Mahometan senglio, which
embrutes both woman and man. Securely contem-
plating the subject from embrasure in the lonely
insulated and repeling battlements of bachelorhood,
our fancy alghts with pleasure upon the eager intoxi
eating pursuit of lovely feminine angel, and with
glow Of extacy conures up heaven Of Happiness when
possession crowns the pursuit. Unlike greedy dog
n-the-manger Brigham Young, we incline to being
content with enough Of good thing, and decidedly
oppose more than one blessed variation of oursef
at one time. Whenever she strayed separated or de-
parted to show Partially to the airer sex and
blissful state and not to libel departed felicity by
being oath to renew, we would apply anew for repi
tition of happiness. In matters matrimonial mankind
should be allowed to indulge their capces and wishes
free from unreasonable hndrance or compulson. But
whether they marry no, have monogaIy or polyga-
my, there should be marriage without the free and
ascertained consent of all the parties No with
wife ought to be allowed to espouse second, and
divide with her the pledges and attentions due the first

PIrT RIVER NEws-DEsTUucrIo OF INDIANS.
Samuel R. Lockhart, writing from Yreka on
April 2lst to the Shasta Courier, gives an ac-
count of events that have recently transpired
in Pitt River Valley. He says: "We had two
battles with the Indians, one near the Hot
Spring, and the other about ten or twelve
miles up the East Fork of Pitt river, above the
Ferry. Our company Of about twenty men
was two small for effective service. The In
dams were always on the lookout, and when
we did surprise them, it was after travelling in
the night and coming upon them at daylight.
When left the party to come to this place,
nineteen Indians had been killed, and many
wounded, though do not know as to the num-
Der. Twenty-three Indians were taken prison.
ers, the most Of whom were squaws and chill
dren: they were turned loose again. came
to Yreka to make arrangements about having
the Ferry re-establshed in Pitt River Valley
as soon as possible. | left the company still
hunting for the Indians. They have provisions
enough for some weeks, and will, think, kill
a good many more, SO that we will not be
troubled by them hereafter on the road"

MEXICAN SHEEP.-The Santa Cruz Sentinel
says that in the neighborhood of San Juan and
Giroy, there are several immense flocks of
Mexican sheep brought to this country year
or so since one firm is reported to have $4,000
head; they are now being sheared, and the
wool conveyed to San Francisco, to be shipped
thence to New York.

Just in his dealings, TO every man friend,
Firm in his feeling-he will his friends defend
Misery relieving wherever II is found,
Cautious to never a brothers bosom wound,
No man in vain has e'er knocked at his door,
A man that always will relieve the poor.
Mind, heart and soul is given to his friends,
And oft when wronged he's first to make amends

HORRIBLE OccuRRENcE.-A YOUNG LADY
MURDERED.-The Marysville Inquirer is in
debted to Everts, Wilson & Co., for the par.
ticulars of a fearful tragedy which occurred at
Rabbit Creek on the 26th ult.
"At about noon on the day named, man
by the name of G. II. Yates, called at the resi-
dence of Mr.. Anderson, where young woman
(sster to Mrs. Anderson) was living, and after
interrogating her as to whether she would
marry him, received an answer that cat pre-
sent it was impossible-she could mott" on
which, he drew revolver and fired at her, the
ball entering her right side, killing her instant
ly. He then drew a small sngle-barelled pis
tol, and discharged the contents at his own
head. The ball entered little above the right
eye, and lodged within the Uranium. He is
not yet dead, though speechless, the brain
oozing from the oriice in the skull-he will no
doubt expire"

The RUMoRED KILLING OF CRABB's Party
The Editor of the Alta has seen letter from
Mr.. Crabb to friend in San Francisco, dated
Sonoita, March 25th in which he states that
Captain Lane, of Texas, was at Calabazas, with
thirty men, and he had heard that he intended
to proceed into the interior of Sonora. Now,
If Crabb was at Sonoita on the 25th of March,
this rumored encounter with Mexican force
could only have taken place by his marching
back, as both Caabazas and Jarillas, where
the skirmishes are said to have taken place,
are this side of that locality. But the accounts
state that the party was marching into and
not out of Sonora; SO it would appear that it
could not have been Crabb's party who had
The fight The party of Lane comprised thirty
men, which is the number given in The report
he may have had a skirmish or the report
may have arisen from their having been called
on to aid the Mexicans in fight with the In
dians. Crabb writes on the 25th, that he was
well received at Sonoita, and was intending
soon to proceed to Altar We do not think
that the news in relation to the destruction Of
his party can be strictly relied upon. By the
next Southern mail we shall, doubtless, receive
all the partculars-State Journal

From Tueson Valley.

The following letter, dated Tucson, March
23, is published in the San Francisco Herald
Of April 9th:
"The chief of the Pimos Indians Cubadzal,
is dead, succeeded by his son Don Antonio,
who possesses the same friendship for the
whites as his father. One hundred and twenty
men Of Col. STEMS command at Tucson, have
been ordered to leave on the Goth of April, to
cooperate with Col Loung Of the rifles with
300 men, and Col. Miles of the 3D. infantry,
with the same numbers, from different points
in New Mexico, in general scout Of the
Apache country, north of and in the vicinity
of the head waters of the Gila river Captain
Alfred Gibbs of the rifles, has recently had a
fight near Fort Thorn with the Indians in
which he was successful, but was unfortunately
severely wounded by an Indian, who thrust a
lance into him. Further particulars not known.
Filibusterism is the greal excitement here now.
The Mexicans are much alarmed all the time,
aud are said to be barricading their streets,
etc. There is a great want of provision in the
valley, and people are employed assiduously in
endeavoring to gain the means of subsistence.
The troops have been getting forage from So
nora, and have sent for -four. A Deputy Col
lector is here, who is authorized to put up a
Custom House at the military post, when final
ly established, so we shall have to pay duties
on everything we get. The military post will
without doubt be near Tucson, good location
for American protection, and for the troops"

FIRE IN SAN FRANcisco.-At o'clock Mon
day afternoon, 9th ult., says the San Francis
co Herald, a fire broke out in the upper part
of building on the north corner of Dupont
and Adelaide streets, or Dupont Alley, as it is
better known, used as a paint shop, and the
fire is reported to have occurred from the igni-
ton of camphene. The building was owned
by Mr.. j. Mitchell, who occupied the lower
portion. The wind was blowing hard from
the northeast at the time-the flames spread
with gread rapidity, and it was at first thought
that the whole block, which is composed almost
entirely of light wooden buildings, was devoted
to destruction; but the Fire Department work.
ed like one man, and soon surrounded, drove
back, and conquered the fiery monster--yet
the triumph was only after the greatest and
most concentrated efforts. There were four
teen buildings consumed, but none of great
value. They were owned mostly by French
residents and were all wooden. One of the
most deplorable results of the fire was the loss
of home and furniture by the poor families,
though we are told they succeeded in saving
most of their household goods. We estimate
the loss Of separate families at So, 200, and the
heavy losers at $l5 900, making in all SIS, 900.
