LATE News FROM CARSON VALLEY.-The
Placerville Inder has news from Carson Valley
up to Sunday, 21st March, which we condense,
as follows:
A good deal of excitement continued about
the diggings on the east fork of Carson river.
The people had held mass meeting for the
purpose of permanently settling their several
claims. Considerable feeling was manifested
on the OCCASION and no definite conclusions
were arrived at
The quartz mining business is beginning to
assume importance in that region, although, as
yet, the mode Of crushing is exceedingly prim.
tive, being nothing more than simple arastras
Measures have been taken for the establish
ment of a school at Genoa, and $500 has been
promptly subscribed for that purpose.
The few Mormons who still remain in the
Valley, are making preparations to go to Sail
Lake, and will leave as soon as feed on the
route can be depended upon.

OUTRAGE.

EDIroR MAaPosA DEMocRAT.-Dear Sir: I thinh
1t Is my duty TO this community, and to myself t.
state plainly the outrages which have been attempted
on me and my property during the last week.
Last Tuesday, and Thursday, was employed in my
garden, and was surprised to find my employment
stopped and my arrangements molested by the inter
ference of party of armed men, who attempted by
threats and menacng to expel me from the scene Of
my last six years labor Ny fence was broken down
and burned my seeds dug up and destroyed, and my
garden tools scattered in every direction. These
men are no doubt hirellngs of Fremont
Now sir, desire to know il we have not the right
of protecting ourselves from such itineant and ire
sponsible hordes of men, by any and every means
and If they to be allowed to wander about in this
cowardly and wanton manner with impuntyl Are
we who have settled lands and improved them belev-
ing them to be ours and having every good reason to
believe they were unclaimed by any but ourselves to
be driven out after years of toll, like beggars from
our homes2 | think an outraged public may, sooner
than these aggressors imagine give utterance to senti
ments that will convince them that in this man
ner they will obtain nothing but the scorn and CON
tempt Of a respectable community.
Very respectfully, S. BOND.
Mariposa Democrat., 1858-04-01

OUTRAGE AND MALTREATMENT.-On Monday
night, 22d ult, about ten o'clock, two Mexi'
cans entered the house of Mexican at Green S
Gulch, near Mount Ophir, and before he was
aware Of their presence, overpowered and
bound him as he lay in bed, by the side of his
wife. After binding him, they beat him hor-
ribly, among other wounds, inhictng a cash
about FIVE inches long, on the side of his head,
with knife. Leaving him for dead, the ruff
fans made their retreat, compelling the wife
to accompany them, stealing their victims
horse two revolvers, and all his clothes. The
wounded man was liberated by passer by,
and is now in this place, in care Of DR.. Boyce.
The Mexican knows the men who perpetrated
the outrage, and it is to be hoped they may be
arrested and punished severely.

ROBBERY. The house of Louis Smith
known as the Oak Spring House, near Mari
posa, was entered while the family were al
supper, on Sunday night, 21st ult., and two
gold watches, nineteen ounccs Of gold speci-
mems, and some valuable je#elry were stolen
The theft was soon discovered, and on search.
ing the premises tracks were found which, on
being traced up, led to where the missing ar
ticles were secreted, by the side of the road.
Suspicion fell upon man known as "Doctor, VI
who lived some time with Mr.. Smith He was
arrested, and on comparing the soles of his
boots with the tracks, they fitted exactly-a
design of heart formed with nails on the
soles, making peculiar mark, which placed
the matter beyond doubt
One of the watches belonged to the Doc
tor" himself and was placed by him in Mr.
Smiths charge, apparently for safe-keeping.
1t was placed with other valuables, and it is
the thief at that time discovered
the depository, with the intention of COM
mitting the theft, in which he has fortunately
been detected-through his boots, deprived Of
his booty-a bootless attempt.
Mariposa Democrat., 1858-04-01

ROBBERY AND MuRDER.-We Wednesday night,
24th ult, party of four men entered house
at Rum Hollow, mining camp about four
miles from this place, where some Chinese are
at work, with the intention of plundering. In
After searching the premises and the persons
of the inmates, and finding but little of value,
the ruffians became exasperated, and one Of
them plunged knife into the breast of one Of
the unresisting Cinnamon, killing him mme-
diately. At the same time, another of them
received severe knife-wound, supposed to
be mortal. The ruffians' faces were painted,
and they spoke Spanish but it is believed they
were white men.

RAN.-At last this section of country has
been blessed with several "copious" showers
of rain. During the past week enough water
has been furnished by the rains to enable mi
ners to re-commence operations. A great
er quantity of rain has fallen the past week
than in an equal period Of time during the win
ter. The crops such as are not past redemp
ton, are rapidly revivng under the beneficial
change in the weather. The grass on the
plains is also being much improved, and with
a short continuance of the ran sufficient pas
turagc will be created to save large numbers
of cattle, that it would otherwise be difficult
to supply with grass this summer.
Mariposa Democrat., 1858-04-01

SUCCESSFUL ExPERIMENT.-Th trial of Will
lards Patent Seed Sower and Narrowing Ma
chine, was made at Oakland, on the 9Th Of
March, in the presence of number of prac-
tcal gentlemen, and was eminently satisfacto-
ry. The trial proved the perfect adaptation
of the gran-sowing cylinders to the equal and
even distribution of grain, and the revolving
harrow was found equal to the complete pull
verzaton of every kind of soil, even to the
intractabe adobe, Jumps of which were in
stanty pulverized. The power necessary to
operate this machine is no greater than that
required for the common harrow, and in addi-
ton to its other advantages, the grass or weeds
are completely broken up, and the latter en-
tirely freed from the earth, thrown behind the
harrow, and left on the surface. Its revolving
motion likewise keeps it free from adhesive soil
as well as from stubble and roots, these latter
like the weeds being thrown behind and left oil
the surface Those who may require ma
chine of the kind, will do well to procure VIII
lard's patent, the merit of which is now placed
beyond dispute.

Mariposa, March 80, 1858

SIERRA NEVADA TERRIToRY.-The Commit
tee on Territories in the U. S. House Of Repre-
sentatives, says the San Francisco Globe, have
agreed in full committee to report bill forth
with for the organization of Territory out Of
Western Utah, to be called Sierra Nevada.
The boundaries are to be somewhat as fol-
lows: On the east by the Goose Creek noun
tains, west by the Sierra Nevadas or eastern
boundary of California, north by the Oregon
line, and south by the Colorado river-thus
comprising territory or nucleus for State Of
some five hundred miles east and west, and
six hundred miles north and south. Military
posts will no doubt be Immediately established
after her admission next month, at the head Of
Goose Creek, and on the Humboldt also, at
either Stony Point or Gravelly Ford-perhaps,
also, at Cedar Creek, the point where the en-
grants from Arkansas were so inhumanly and
barbarously murdered last summer, at the in
stigation Of the Mormons. The very fact Of
establishing this territory must tend to con6ne
the Mormons to circumscribed limits, and pre-
vent their tampering with the numerous In
dams, who at present inhabit the regions al
luded to. 1t will also tend to aid in the CO.
operation of the military movement now pro-
crossing against Utah, and circumscribe the
fanatics of Salt Lake City. Post routes will
also be established throughout the Territory.

GoLD MINE ON LONG IsLAND.-The Suffolk
q. ~ Times states that a gold mine was dis
covered few days ago on the land of Mr..
Robinson, about mile and half south Of
Manor Station. In the process of digging a
well, the earth had been penetrated to the
depth of twenty-five feet, when the diggers
came to "streak of rich looking dirt, por-
tion of which they had barely time to secure,
as the up-gushing water compelled them to
retreat from the excavation. 1t is stated that
the material was subjected to chemical tests,
and found to contain pure gold.
Mariposa Democrat., 1858-04-01
POPULATION OF 0REGoN.-A correspondent
Of the Oregon Statesman, Hon. Delazon Smith,
estimates the population of Oregon as follows !:

The estimate of the Portland Times places
the number of voters at $4,000. Mr. Smith
is, we think, below the mark in putting down
the negro population at three hundred only.
There is quite double that number of Ethopi-
ans who tabernacle within our borders In an
enumeration, the Chinese and negroes count
of course and so, according TO Mr.. Smiths
estimate, we have $4,000. Even this, we are
convinced, Is an underestimate of the actual
population. AT all events, should this question
be seized upon as pretext for our non-ad-
mission, it will be the work of blacks, for we
are quite confident that no true democrat in or
out of Congress will pettifog the question to
our detriment, and merely for pretext under
which to to play the meddlescme and captious
monkey. What we lack numerically, we more
than atone for in quality. We can poll more
democratic votes now than either Florida or
Rhode Island can and we will poll less negro
worshipping votes in proportion to the whole
vote than any free State in the Union.
