Shooting at Fallecito.-On Thursday night,
22nd ult.. an Italian named Francisco Bacigal-
upi, was shot at Vallecito, by another Italian
named Laigi Martali-the bali entering his
right breast, coming out under the right shoul

was lying in critical state. Martial had
been hired by his victim, few months since,
to attend his store, without definite under
standing as to the wages he was to receive
Upon settlement Martial protested against the
wages allowed him, and threatened to take his
vengeance on future occasion, as we'll on
francisco as his wife. On the day above
stated, he came to Vallecito, and without any
previous warning, drew and fred upon Fran
cisco and afterwards shot at his wife. The
people were very much exasperated at his
murderous audacity, and had he not decamped
in hurry, would doubtless have taken sum-
mary vengeance. He has not since been heard
of. Francisco bears good reputation and
had considerable property which he accumu-
lated by honest industry.

FROM Sonora AND THE SoUTH.-The Los
Angeles papers of the 18th April, report the
following interesting items of news:
"About the 18th of February battle was
fought at Ures between Pasqueira and J. Gan
dara. The latter lost Us men and retreated
to the Yoqui river, where he was overtaken
and again defeated. tits reported but doubt
ed, that after this defeat Gandara was killed
in single combat by Captain Silvas. Pasque-
ira was in the ascendant, but the country was
in turbulent state.
"ln the latter part of February, ranch
about ninety miles from Ures was attacked by
the Apaches, and every soul, twenty-one in
number, was killed. They had been disarmed
short time previous by Pasquera.
John Perkins, from Los Angeles, and Ham
ilton, from Sacramento, were killed by the In
dians about the middle of February, thirty
miles from Hermosilo
Messrs. Metzyar and Beach safely arrived at
Hermosillo, after sundry accidents, about the
last days of February, with about 2, 400 sheep,
which they had purchased on the rivers va
quis and Mayo. They soon left for Fort Bu-
chanan, where they will probably remain for
some time.
Captain Stone, of the Sonora surveying
Expedition, recently left Fort Yuma for Quay
mas. The inhabitants of Sonora are greatly
excited against this survey and it is believed
that the lives of the whole party will be in
danger should they attempt to go into the in
terror Of that State
By later arrival it is reported that the de-
feat and death of Gandara are positively con-
hrmed, also the massacre of number of Mex
leans and Others by the Yaqui Indians, at the
river Mayo Among the killed is Antonio
Serran, native of Vera Cruz, well known in
Sacramento as a teacher of Spanish

News From Carson Valley.

The Placerville Inder, of the oath ult., re-
ports that the northern Pass to Carson Valley
is open for pack-trains, and that party had
ing the following news:
Health and prosperity still reign in the
valley. They met Major Ormsby with his pack
train at Lake Valley, getting along very finely,
barring very great dearth of ready cooked

The party which went to the New river
country had not been heard of, although they
were daily expected by their friends.
Bennett Tyler, who have station down
on the Humboldt river, were in Genoa last
week. They state that the Shoshonee Indians
are apparently very friendly, and are anxious
that the white men shall come into their coun-
try and start trading posts. These Indians
also report the important news that at GRAY

mucker, on Pyramid Lake, had retlwned to
Genoa. They report the valleys in that re-
gion in blooming condition, and the Indians
getting fat on lake fish.
At Geno, one day last week. two men got
drunk, chased each other through the village
with knives, stones, &c, and that was the end
of the affair.
The valley folks are amusing themselves
upon the turf. On Sunday last an exciting
horse race came off, and another is the on dit

Still Later-Mr. Johnson left Genoa on
Thursday morning, at s o'clock, and arrived
in this city yesterday, having made the trip
to Placerville in the Unprecedented time of 90
hours.
He says that there is considerable excite
ment in the valley in relation to the Walker
river diggings. These diggings are situated
about 70 miles from Genoa and when he left

Placerville, April 2sth-s P. M-Thompson
arrived here this afternoon, with the express
and mail from Carson Valley. He brings i'm
portant news in reference to the new gold dig
gings. The party which left some weeks since
to prospect, had returned to Genoa, having
found gold fields upon the south fork of Walk
er's river that prospected from ten to twenty
cents to each pan of dirt. The same company
had gone back, taking their families and fur
niture with them. Thompson says one third
of the people of Carson Valley had left or were
making their arrangements to go. The new
discoveries cover large tract of county,

ADJOURNMENT SINE DIE.-Contrary to general
expectation, the Legislature of California did
adjourn sine die, at IL NJ, on Monday last,
leaving great deal of important unfinished
business. This latter circumstance is to be
regretted; but we join with many others, in
the belief that, between the two evils of con-
tinuing the session and neglecting the dispatch
of necessary public business, the lesser one has
been chosen. There has been all the time, a
great lack of confidence among the people, in
the late Legislature, to balance the evil with
the good. Therefore, we congratulate the pub
