For NOME LACKEE Some seventy five
or one hundred Indians were transported
hence yesterday for Nome Lackee. in charge
of Messrs Gambrel, Mclaughlin and others.
The aborgines were loaded into wagons, and
their bows, arrows and yagers taken from
them, and themselves trotted off in the pres
ence of numerous anxious spectators. The
poor creatures looked sad and down heart
ed at leaving their old home, and went away
most unwillingly. 1t is the determination
of the agent Mr.. Titus, to corral all the
natives in this vicinity.

Ring Pung was accidentally killed at Rich
Gulch Flat. Calaveras county. AS several
of his countrymen were walking along, a
revolver fell from the belt of another China

so much force as to explode the cap; the
contents of one barrel, took effect on Ring
Pung, near the heart, running upward and
lodging in the bones of the neck, causing
almost instant death.

THE AGE OF THE EARTH.-The coal fields
of North America extend over an area of
90 900 square miles, while those of Great
Britain occupy an area of only 5000 square
miles The masses ofvegetable remains found
in coal, leave no doubt that it is of vegetable
origin; and, assuming that to be the fact, a
geologist has calculated the length of time
that would be required to vegetate and pro-
duce such vast masses of carbon as are de-
posted in beds of coal. 1t has been estimat-
ed, by observations on growing plants, that
it would require twenty five square feet of
surface to produce one pound of carbon; and
supposing the plants grew on the spot, it
would occupy 6O92 years to make bed of
coal three feet in thickness As the beds of
coal in South Wales are one hundred and
twenty feet thick, it would, according to his
calculation, have required 243 $50 ears for
the depositment of the whole of the coal
strata This fact suggests some curious re-
Elections as to the period at which the the
formation of the earth took place.
We do not think it supposable that the
plants grew on the spot but that the vege-
tables have been heaped up, by water or
otherwise, in certain localities
