Praying for Rain to Come.-A short
time since in the vicinity of Folsom, a
party Of Cinnamon were seen congrega-
ted together on the river bank, going
through singular pantomiInc which to
s'uncivlized Africans" was perfectly
incomprehensible.
The Dispatch says there were some
dozen of them, all on their knees in the
sand, and before them they had small
table, on which was placed rooster of
large dimensions, whose imperial head
had never been separated from his body;
piece of corn beef, and a quantity of
rice and Chinese productions completed
the eatable arrangements. But, instead
of devouring these, they threw small
pieces iuto the river, accompanying the
act with incomprehensible bufoonery,
by throwing their hands into the air,
tossing the sand over their heads, etc.
In explanation of these proceedings, it
was ascertained that they are in the
habit daily of repairing to the river bank
and throwing food i'll the water, in order,
as they say, "to feed the water, and
make rain," firmly believing that one
moon will "catch him.

ARREST OF CHARLES NEvlLLEs-

ARREST OF CHARLES NEvILLES.-
This individual who was charged with
an attempt to kill and rob Mr.. Isaac
Rich at Alpha in March last, we learn
from the Marysville Inquirer has been
arrested near Shasta and lodged in the
jail Of that county. Mr.. Nevilles did
not escape from the Jail of this county,
as stated by the Inquirer. He was
brought before the grand jury and al
lowed to go at liberty, no evidence ex-
listing against him. He Immediately
left, since which time vague reports have
reached us now and then but little in his
favor, one of which was that Nevilles was
seen but a day or two from the time that
Bischoff was found murdered in Sonoma
county, and but short distance from
the place in which the deed was COM
mitted. Bischoff, it is said, took the
part of friend to Nevilles during his trou-
bles in this county growing out of the
affair at Alpha.
Soon after the disappearance of New
lies new warrant.was issued for his ar
rest Mr., Rich having recovered and tes-
tilted to the identity of Nevilles as the
man who attempted to kill him.
The hquirer says that a Mr. f. Bow
man saw Nevilles in Shasta and recog-
nized him, and.knowing the crime which
he had committed, had him arrested i'm
mediately on a warrant. In the latter
part of the same night he made his es-
cape from the Jail and came some six
teen miles from Shasta on the Marysville
road, where he stationed himself with
two rcvolvers and several other weap-
ons, it is thought with the inten-
ton of killing Mr.. Bowman for having
him arrested, as he knew that Mr.. B.
was aiming 10 travel the road on that
day. Fortunately, however, the Deputy
Sheriff, VIM. II. Angel, by whom he
had been arrested the day previous, was
closely on his track, and regardless OF
the many weapons he had about his per
son, the brave officer succeeded in cap
turing him a second time, and has con-
fined him in jail which is kept closet
guarded. Had not Mr.. Angel arrested
him when he did he no doubt would
have killed Mr.. Bowman. 1t is the cal
culation to bring the prisoner to Nevada
in a short time where he Will have his
trial.

Massacre of Lmm;0rants bu Indians.

Massacre Of Immigrants By Indians
The steamer Senator from the Southern
Coast, brings the painful intelligence of
the murder of over hundred immi-
grants by the Indians about 800 miles
from Salt Lake city. The horrible
deed is supposed to have been commit
ted at the instigation of Mormons. The
causes given by the Mormons, as having
been alleged by the Indians, are, that
the murdered men cheated them in
trade. besides poisoned an OK with
strychnine, and pools of water also, by
which several Indians lost their lives.
The train of immigrants consisted of
100 in number, of which only fifteen in
FAINT children were saved alive and
brought to Cedar city and sold to the
Mormons. The train was from Arkan-
sas, and it is supposed the massacre was
committed to avenge the death of Par
ley p Pratt, who was shot in that
State.

Pooh CALF.-Last week an article
appeared in this paper, in which occurr-
ed the following sentence
"If by his (Buchanan's) order a life
is lost in enforcing a law which common
justice will declare infamous, his hide
will hang on the fence by the side OF
poor Pierce's, and Democratic calves
will bawl a requiem to another victim
to party mnrrain."
Too prophetic ! The calf of the
Democratic State Jouynal begins to bawl
dismally before the skinning of the sa-
cred bull has fairly commenced.
The youthful bovine of the State Jour-
nal, however, makes an attempt to hush
up the sorrow of its kind by asserting
that the aforesaid pelt will never be
hung on the top rail, because the bogus
Kansas laws have been repealed !" In
the courteous language of newspapers
we pronounce this a mistake, but truth
and good English demand another term
After all, it may be ignorance-should'n mt
be surprised if it was.

A. Sargent, ESQ, on the favorable ma
ture of the country along and near the
old Truckee route, for an em;grant road.
The facts contained in that communi-
cation were obtained by actual obser-
walton and may be relied on as facts
Since the penning of that article, we
have had the pleasure Of conversing
with Mr. A. p Halves relative to the
various mountain routes into the State,
and we found remarkable coincidence
of opinion between his statements and
that of every other mountaiuecr and
tourist who has tested the several roads
over the Sierras. Some two years
since, our attention was more particular
" called to the natural advantages pos
sessed by our own county over others
in the way Of an emigrant road, by the
facts given us, and embodied in an ar
ticle at the time by Col. Eddy, who
has had large experience as a traveller
over tbe mountains. marty Of set
tiers in the valleys over the summit
about the same time verified the state
ments If Col Eddy. but rave very
nrf,,oralIo account Of the Tmckee
road as if now is. 1t is general
" conceded that the Tuckee road
rms over the worst possible places that
could have been selected. while the
most favorable route IMAGINABLE with a
sliobt outlay lies at a short distance all
along the old road. Instead of hauling
WAGONS over almost impossible noun
+ains over rocks and lettine them down
with ropes on the other side, the emf
grant has only to drive at his leisure
through a succession Of valleys, with
scarcely an impeachment the entire
route. 1t strikes the mind with aston
ishment that thousands of men should
attempt to surmount the obstacles on
the Truckee road without first haviig
looked about them and discovered the
advantages which nature has thrown in
their wav Tn carryioq on that mar
nifcent cnterprize, the South Yuba Ca
nal, every foot Of ground along the
Truckee route has been thoroughly ex-
plored. and lis Topography is now as
well understood as that Of any other
mart Of the county. The natural ad-
vantagcs Of the country for a wagon
road have Keen brought to light by
these explorations, which without doubt
are destined to rebound greatly to the
benefit of this portion of the State.
It Is not TO be expected that any IA
vorable notices Of the Truckce route
will find a place in the columns Of news
popers published south Of this point
Local interests for the present forbid.
