Arripal of the Overland Nail at Placerrille-
The Mail robbed By Ladians-Indians Kaled
PLAcERv1LLE, Sept. s.
A portion of the Salt Lake mail which left
there on the 10th has just arrived, and also
the mail of the 23d, in charge of Wm Lind
say, Perkins and Thomas. Two of the party
which left on the 10th arrived at Lindsay s
station, and made the following statement;
On the night of August goth, at IL o'clock,
P. NJ, the party camped about eight miles be-
low the first crossing of the Humboldt, hob
bled their mules and turned them out to Craze.
Shortly after, body of about thirty Indians
! on horseback, came charging from the willows,
and succeeded in stampeding the stage ami
the wagon unprotected and accordingly they
guarded it all night, hoping to meet the Cali
forna mail the next day. Early next morning,
large body of Indians again approached,
with hideous yelling, kept encircling and
nearing the party until finally John bayfield,,
who was in charge of the MAIL ordered his
men to fire, and two Indians were killed. At
the first fire, Mayfeld brought down one In
dian and horse, and killed another Indian as
they were retreating. Thinking that the CAL
iforna mail had propably also been robbed,
May6 concluded to abandon the wagon
taking with him the mail, which he and his
party carried fifteen miles up the Humboldt
in the direction of Goose Creek station. Here
they were again surrounded by about four
hundred Indians, and were forced to abandon
everything but their arms and ammunition
Some of the letters were subsequently picked
up by Thomas Pitt, who is coming through
with large drove of cattle. Pitt states that
the mail bags were ripped open, and the wag-
on stripped of everything. The mules are lost,
but the mail party all escaped unhurt.
Nothing of note has transpired at Lalt Lake.
Orders had been received at headquarters of
the army and portion of the command would
march for Oregon, and company was under
orders to go South.
General Hunt had left Salt Lake to explore
the new stage route west of the Goose Greek
Mountains which is known to be one hundred
and fifty miles shorter than the road now trav-
| eled
The 4lta's correspondent, writing from the
Goose Creek, August 26th, says that old Pan
thangin, the chief of the Shoshones, came into
camp that day en- route for Salt Lake, to see
Dr. Forney the Indian Agent. He seemed to
be very sorry for what occurred, and said that
he would get back all the stolen mules on his
return. 1t appears that Forney had made
frequent promises to meet the Shoshones and
make treaty, but failing to do so, the pa
tience of the Indians was exhausted, and
hence the difficulty.
A portion of the mail, of the 10th, has ar
rived at the Post Office here, in mutilated
condition. Many of the letters were without
envelopes. Union, 7elegraphsc.

There is no malady of deeper Importance,
either in medical or moral point of view, to
which the human family is more liable, than
that arising from impure connections.
/ As medical man, it is the duty of every
physician to look st disease as it effects health
and life, and his sole object should be to miti-
gate, as far as lies in his power, the bodily
suffering. Human nature at best is bnt frail
all are liable to misfortune.
OF all the ills that affect man, none are more
terrible than those of private nature. Dread
ful as it is in the person who contracts it,
frightful as are its ravages upon his constitu-
ton, ending frequently in destruction and a
loathsome grave, it becomes of still greater i'm
portance when it is transmitted to innocent
offspring. Such being the case, how necessary
1T becomes that every one having the least
reason to fear that they have contracted the
disease, should attend to it at once, by consult
ing some physician, whose respectability and
education enables him to warrant a safe, speedy
and permanent cure In accordance with this
necessity, DR.. YOUNG feels called upon to
state that by long study and extensive prac-
tice, he has become perfect master of all those
diseases which come under the denomination
of venereal, and having paid more attention to-
that branch than any other physician in the
United States, he feels himself better qualified
to- treat them.

Constitutional Debility or Semiat Wea1nss

Constitutional Debility or .Semial Weahness
DIR. YOUNG addresses those who have in
jured themselves by private and improper in
dulgences in that secret and solitary habit
which ruins the body and mind, uniting them
for either business or society. The following
are some of the sad and melancholy effects
produced by early habits of youth, viz: weak
ness of the back and limbs, pain in the head,
dimness of sight, loss of muscular power, pal
pitation of the heart dyspepsia, nervousness,
irritability, arrangement of the digestive func-
tions, general debility, symptoms of consump-
ton, &c.
MENTALLY-The fearful effects upon the
mind are more to be dreaded. Loss of mem
ory, confusion of ideas, depression of spirits,
evil forbodings, aversion to society, self-dis-
trust, love of solitude, timidity, &c, are most
OF the evils produced.
All persons who are afflicted with any of the
above symptoms should not fail to call on DR..
Young, and be at once restored to perfect
health. Let no false delicacy prevent you, but
apply Immediately, and save yourself from the
dreadful and awful consequences of this terri
bic maldy.
WEAKNESS OF THE ORGANS.

DERRICK7S
Improved Patent Revolving
SeIf-Regulating Wind Mills.
Channel street, Stockton.

YvHE PROPRIETOR OF THESE JUSTLY
il celebrated mills, which took the first pre-
MUM at the State Fair of 1857, held in Stock
ton, would inform gardeners, farmers, miners
and others, that he is now manufacturing his
Improved Wind Mill, to order, at the most
reasonable rates. The fans, running gear,
traverse and self-regulating machinery being
all of solid iron, firmly bound together in one
piece so as to prevent the possibility of getting
out of order. These mills are superior to all
others on account of their cheapness and du-
rability. They combine every facility to effect
the purpose for which they are made, besides
having self-traversing plateau and self
regulating apparatus to govern the motion OF
the wheel. The principle on which the ma
chnery works, is to throw the wheel off the
wind during strong gale, by having double
tails or dog-vanes attached so that they will
spread before the wind in a moderate breeze,
but contract in a stiff gale, throwing the wheel
clear off the wind while, as the gale subsidies,
weights (which are attached for the purpose, J
gently bring the fans of the wheel around into
the eye of the wind, when the wheel will re-
sumo its accustomed gentle evolutons.
These mills positively not liable to get out
of repair) are the best now in use, and their
durability, cheapness and simplicity, make
them more desirable than all others. A first
class mill, of the largest size, can be furnished
for $65.
Mills built on the same principle, without
the self-regulating apparatus, will be furnished
much cheaper. One of these mills will raise
water sufficient to thoroughly irrigate two
acres of ground, and will pump seventy-fve
barrels of water in three hours time and as
the sea breeze extends over almost the entire
l. IL
is not always sufficient wind to drive these
mills.
