The LATE STEAMEHIP DIsAsrER.-One Of the
largest, most respectable, and earnest gather
ings of citizens ever held in San Francisco, as
sembled at Musical Hall last Saturday evening.
Resolutions were adopted expressive of the feel
ings Of the people in regard to the late terrible
disaster. After paying an appropriate tribute
to the dead, aud awarding the need Of praise
to the gallnt men who periled their lives and
vessels in their efforts to rescue the survivors
the resolutions express the most decided disap-
probation of the heartless disregard of the lives
and comfort of passengers displayed by the
steamship companies. The carelessness of the
U. s. M. steamship company is condemned as
little less than crime, and the Pacific steam
ship company was severely censured for using
the steamers Panama and California, Oh this
coast. The resolutions also suggested amend
msnts to the law regulating the inspection and
provisioning of steamships.

willingness to answer any question which might
be prOpouuded to him by the grand jury. He
was accordingly taken before that but in con-
sequence of his unsatisfactory answers to some
questions, aud his refusal to answer others, he
was again remanded on board the brig.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

IMPORTANT TO MNERs-Qudrtz CdmpdniS Us
SZuicins CompGuiss.--A suit was commenced on
Monday in the District Court Of this county, the
result of which will settle question Of great
importance to miners. Messrs. Becker and 9th
ers located certain mining claims in the bed of
Woods Ravine, near this place. many months
SINCE and held aud worked the same as rdri'le
or sIucing claims. few weeks since Messrs.
Lowell & Co. discovered and duly located very
rich quartz lead within or the ravine or sluic-
ing claims. The former company have brought
an action of trespass against the latter named
company. to recover the sum of five thousand
dollars damages. and for perpetual injunction
against further waste and trespass upon the lead
or any part Of plaintiffs claims. Does the To-
cation and appropriation of the bed of stream
or other mining ground, for sluicng purposes, ex-
cluds others from subsequently locating and
working quartz lead under. or running through
such mining claimss This question will be fully
tried in the above case, and is one likely often
to reeur in this vicinity.

SERIOUS AcoIDRNr-GRoss CARELEssNEss.-A
man named Solomon Bller came near losing
his life about q week ago, near Spanish Town,
Butte county. 1t seems, says the Butte Record,
that Bliler was writing at table, and by the
light of q candle stuck into porter bottle for
support. AS the candle burnt down it fell into
the bottle, and as it fell, ignited quantity OF
powder, which had been placed in it a long
while before by one Of the careless people about
the premises. An explosion followed, aud Bliler
was severely hurt, his right eye much injured
1t is feared that he will lose his right eye
though otherwise he is not dangerously injured
The exploded bottle had been used as candle
stick for several weeks, charged with the pow.
der all the time.

In AoAN.-A. J. Kelly, who was discharged
from Jail on Monday week. where he had lain
some months on charge Of grand larceny, ha,
got back again to his old quarters. He left
Nevada Immediately after his discharge and
went to Grass valley, where he had the msfor-
tune to be again charged with stealing, for
which he was convicted of petty larceny, and
was sentenced by Justice SpoiIord to imprison-
ment in the county Jail for six months. 1t seems
he went into shooting gallery, and picked up
a pistol which he carried Off He says he only
took the pistol in joke, and that If he had had
half chance to have defended himself he might
have cleared himself of the charge. Kelly is
certainly an unfortunate man. He can console
himself with the reflection, however, that the
county is responsible for his board.

SourH YUBA DTcH.-This ditch has been SO far
completed that the water from the South Yuba
can now be taken ACROSS the divide into Deer
Creek, from whence it will be brought into Ne
vads by the Snow Mountain and other bitches
The water from the lakes was let into the Yuba
river on Saturday last, and it was the design
to shut down the waste gate on Monday, and
conduct the water through the tunnel and from
thence into Deer Creek The water will prOba-
bly, reach Nevada either to-day or tomorrow
We hope sosn to see the flush times we have all
been looking for, "when the South Yuba Ditch

New QUARTZ MnL.-Msssrs. Paul & HOadley
have commenced the erection Of quartz mill
near the mouth of Deadwood Greek, about two
and half miles above Nevada The founda-
ton Of the mill is laid, workmsn are engaged
in getting out timber for the frame, aud the
machinery is now on the way up from Sscra-
mento, and will probably all be on the ground
to-day or tomorrow. The mill is designed to
run twelve stamps, and it is thought will be
completed by the middle Of December. Mr..
Paul has had considerable experience in quartz
mining, and from our own knowledge Of the
leads in that section we are satisfied he has
selected good locality fer the erection Of a
mill. There are seven or eight leads within
half mile Of the mill site, which have been
thoroughly prospectsd, and which have paid all
the way from fifteen to hundred and thirty
dollars ton, and doubtless many other leads
will yet be discovered in the vicinity equally
as rich.

The Overland Mail Route.

We have heard much inquiry during the past
few weeks in regard to the overland mail route,
from San Diego to San Antonio, Texas. From
letter recently received by a gentleman of
this city, from the agent of the contractors, at
San Diego, which has been kindly placed at our
disposal, we gather some particulars in relation
TO the travel over this route not generally
known.
The stages run all the way from San Diego
to San Antonio, and the travel is regular, par
ticularly at this season Of the year, when the
rainy season is over in the Gadsden Purchase
and New Mexico. At no season, however, need
. detention af more than one day be feared from
high water. There is no danger from Indians,
as guard of eight men travel with each mail
besides passengers. On an average, man can
get four hours sleep each night, on the ground
but in addition he can stretch himself out on
the baggage while the stages are travelling, and
sleep comfortably whenever he feels like it.
The fatigue is next to nothing. Passengers
cannot depend on reaching San Antonio in less
than thirty days, which is the schedule time
but may make it in twenty-six, as the company
have constant relays. The price Of passage
from San Francisco to New Orleans, is two
hundred dollars, the company finding the pas
sepgers in provisions as far as San Antonio
Passengers are allowed to carry twenty-five
pounds Of baggage, which must be n carpet
bag. At present the company do not care to
carry over six passengers at q trip; but il sufd-
stocked for a larger number.
Mr.. Henry Reed acts as agent Of the company
At San Francisco, and any information in re-
gard to the travel on this route can be obtained
from him.

IMPORTANT SUrT.-Two suits were commenced
on Friday last in the District Court. by Weaver
and others against the Eureka Lake Company,
for the right to the water Of the big lakes, above
Eureka The lakes afford large quantity Of
water, and the right to its use is Of course val
liable. Mr. Weaver has his ditch completed to
Eureka, and the Lake Co. are vigorously prose-
cutting the work on theirs. The latter company
are depending exclusively on the lakes for a
supply of water. and should they lose the suit.
the money they have expended will be thrown
away. Weaver has small supply of water in

The sIormons Preparing to Resist the U. ..
Tr0OnH.

Troops.
By the recent arrival at Los Angeles Of an
immigrant train, which came by the southern
route from Salt Lake, information Of an impor-
tant character has been received, touching the
designs Of the Mormons. From the statements
of several gentlemen who came on in advance
Of the train, which we find published at length
in the Los Angeles Star Of the 18th and 24th ut.,
there is reason to believe that the Mormons de-
sign resisting the government troops now on
their way to Utah and it is quite certain that
they are leagued with the Indians, for the pur-
pose of annoying and robbing the immigrant
trains that pass through their country.
Mr.. Honea says that at Fort Bridgsr the Nor
mons had large quantity Of provisions stored,
a considerable number Of Indians were encemp-
ed around the fort, and the people generally
spoke of resisting Gen. Harney. About thirty
miles this side OF the fort he met three compa-
nies Of one hundred men each, who were called
the "army of observation" One Of these men
told Mr.. Honea that they were on their way to
meet Harney, to see what he was coming for
"if be is coming peaceably we will let him come,
il not we will drive him back" Another spoke
bitterly against all Federal officers; rejoced
that the time had come when the saints would
be avenged on their enemes that Harvey and
his 2,500 men would never enter Salt Lake city.
He also said that Gov. Young had ordered the
people to prepare for war. On the 18th Of Au-
gust, Mr.. Honea passed through Salt Lake city,
~, faur hnurs
While there he had conversation with gen.
tile merchant, who stated that on the previous
Sunday Brigham Young had declared, in the
Temple that henceforth Utah was q seperate
and Independent Territory, and owed no obedi-
ence or allegiance to any laws but those Of their
own enactment, and called upon the people to
stand together, and support him in maintaining
the cause of God and the church.
The Mormons cannot be 80 insane as 10 sup
pose they can successfully resist the authority Of
the Federal government, and the idea that they
will attempt it seems almost incredible They
may easily repulse the small body of troops now
on their way to Utah, but in driving them back,
or offering any resistance to their occupation of
the territory, they must be aware that they will
bring upon themselves the vengeance Of the
Federal government, which it would be madness
for them to brave. The Mormon leaders have
the credit of being shrewd men, and they GER
tainly must know how utterly futile all their
attempts would be at resistance. Yet if there
is any meaning whatever to be attached to the
harrangues of Brigham Young, as published in
the Mormon newspaper, be is gradually prepar-
ing the minds Of his people to resist the govern
msnt. The Mormon population is composed tC
great extent of ignorant foreigners, who know
nothing of our institutions and laws, aud it MAJ
be we'll enough for the government to teacl
them that there is "bigher law" than tha
which Issues from the mouth of their prophet.

SHEEP ON THE NoBLE's RoUrE.-We learn
from the Tehama Advocate that AZ immense
number Of sheep are coming into the Sacramen-
to valley by the northern or Mobiles route.
Those who were in charge Of the stock, say that
at least $4,000 head Of this kind of stock we're
within $50 miles of the valley. They have as a
general thing been driven across without seri-
GUS loss by disease or want of forage. Water
aud grass are abundant the most of the way,
and more particularly on this end of the trip.
