further details of the battle of Montebello.
The Austrians profess satisfaction with the
result. Gyulai says his loss was 200
killed, 71S wounded and 293 missing
He further says the French numbered
10000, but abstainep from all pursuit.
Count Standion, the Commander of the
Austrian forces, was wounded Some
French authorities still assert there was
not much over 1000 French engaged.
Other estimates say about 10000. It is
reported via Turin, that 500 Austrians
who attacked Garibaldi's corps at Veresa
were repulsed and pursued. The coontry
around Varesa was in insurrection. Gar.
abaldi was on his way to Como. His
force numbered 10000; but no cavalry
or artillery. Popular risings in favor Of
SARDINIA are reported in some parts of
Parma. A vague rumor reaches us MA
Vienna, that Gortschakof, the Russian
Minister had resigned, because the EN-
peror refused to carry out his engagements
with France.
The war excitement was high in
Southern Germany. Kossuth was ex.
pected to 60 to Genoa in about a week,
with full concurrence of Napoleon and
the King Of Sardinia, to concert plans
with Kappa and others to overthrow the
Austrians in Hungary.
The new King Of Naples had been &C.
knowledged, by telegraph, by nearly all
the powers, and the army has sworn ale-
glance.
The Derby Ministry had issued strong
appeal to their Parliamentary supporters
for an early attendance to meet the oppo
sition movement.
LATRR.-The Emperor of Austria
quilted Vienna May 80. and arrived at
Verona on the 3lst, accompanied by his
brother, the Arch Duke Charles, General
Hess, and others.
The official Sandman Bulletin saws
that the Sardinians passed the Sesia in the
face Of the Austrians who were fortified
at Palastro, after a severe conflict. The
Sardinians under the command of the
King, carried Palastro and made many
prisoners. Garibaldi was making bold
movements in Lombardy.
On the 9th, after a furious fight of
three hours, he entered Como. The Aus
TRANS retreated to Carmelata where the
combat was renewed, and the Abstrians
again retreated towards Milan.
1t is reported, via Berne, that on the
29th Garibaldi was defeated by superior
force, and withdrew into Canton Tessin.
The dispatches give the impression that he
was making further progress.
The French bulletins are unimportant.
The Emperor was about to move his

The TREBLE FORTE" SToP.-A new
and admirable improvement has recently
been effected in the Melodeons of Mason
& Hamlin. of Boston, which consists in
the treble forte" stop, or a stop by
means of which the treble part of the in
strument may be increased in power. while
the base remains subdued. The advan-
tage Of this stop is found in the perfor-
nance of solo passages, where it is desir.
able that prominence should be given to
the treble notes. The house Of Mason 4
Hamlin has received since 1856, for best
melodeons aud harmonious, NO less than
twenty gold and silver medals aud doplo-
mas, from various State Fairs and socie.
ties throughout the country. Messrs. Nj.
& Fl. will send descriptive catalogue of
their Instruments to any address on appl.

The Mines.

During our visit to Michigan Bluff on Sun
day last we learned the following particular.
in relation to the yield of the mines in that
place and vicinity;
The claim known as the "Frerch Co. s.
claims, on Red Hill, are yielding from rs tc
100 ounces per week, and will continue tc
pay equally well for years to come, as they
are deep, and their riches are only beginning
to he developed
The Pike Hill claims are paying equally al
well as the above, and have as many facili-
ties for extracting the precious stuff
All the claims on Red Hill are paying good
dividends to their owners.
The Flat claims, and the Bluff claims had
very httle water as yet the present season
their richness, however, has been fully dem
onstrated, and fully demonstrated, and a full
supply of water on these claims, and fair
weather will add greatly to the prosperity
of the place
or Birds Valley, we are informed that the
old claims continue to pay literally; and Of
those which have been opened the present
season, we hear the "Lightfoot" mentioned
as giving promise of superior worth. Its av
erage yield is 80 ounces per week.
Those claims adjoining the "Lightfoot" are
known to be equally as rich but are vet
without water
The warmth of the sun for the last few
days, has had the effect of settling the snow
down, until,-in the expressive language OF
the stage drivers and roadsters, it is only
about three feet "high" Some time will ,et
elapse before the bitches high up in the
mountains will be opened so that full sup.
ply of water can be run in them but there
is snow enough in the mountains to furnish
supply of water for nearly the whole sum

A Glorious Democratic Victory {!

We have met the enemy and they are ours
The Douglas banner waves in triumph over
the city In spite of all that tIecomptonism
in its most rabd manifestations, could do
in spite of all the outside help to its own side
that it could pour into our midst from every
quarter of the State, in the shape of pecunia-
ry and other influence; in spite of its loud
bowling for that eternally venerable Chief
Magistrate" upon whose venerablenessC q it
lays so much stress in spite Of its loud boasts
and brazen shouts of anticipated triumph,
the unconqueroble and unpurchaseable free
men of Marysyille have marched in solid col
umns to the polls and deposited those votes
which speak freeman's will. The knell OF
Lecomptonism in this city and county Is
knolled. Its doom is sealed. The foul doc
trine which teaches n base subserviency Of
the people to the creatures of the hour whom
they themselves have placed in power and
made what they are, has been rebuked. The
men who have thought fit to follow Mr.
Buchanan to the abandonment of Democratic
principles have learned that time-serving
spirit and shameless recreancy to principle
may do well while it is rewarded by the
chance creatures Of place and position, but
can never win aught but disgrace and defeat
Mt the hards of the sovereign people when
they come to speak at the ballot-box!
The hour is too late for us to dwell at any
length upon the proud triumph that we
have won. Suffice it to say that the main
Douglas ticket has been elected in its entirety
with but two exceptions, and n majority of
the Douglas Aldermen The test was made
upon Mayor, the head Of the ticket, and it
will be seen that the majority for the Doug
las Democratic candidate is one that tells the
tale decisively Marysville thereforersends
greeting to the Democracy of the State at
large, and calls for one long loud peal of
responsive triumph from San Diego to Siski-
you, and from the heights of the Sierra Ne
vado to the rock-bound shore of the Pacific.

The SURVEY OF Suffers ELEVEN LEAGUES.
The testimony of Vioget was published in
the Union long time since. and as the Su-
preme Court of the United States has con.
hrmed the Sutter grant to eleven leagues, and

iect was to have n plan to present to the

along the border of Feather river until !
came to the ford generally known rs Cana
dian Ford; this ford is q short distance above
the present town of Nicolaus; at this ford
finding good ground, began laying off the
other nine leagues; / went along Feather
river, taking in most of the land on the east
side of it, but each of the Q leagues had Part
on the west of said river; thus proceeded to
locate the square leagues one after the 9TH

marked on trees or miles above the mouth

site a red bluff of earth which forms the
eastern bank of Feather river; one of the
trees that | marked was large oak, and

of Feather river; | know where the city of
stands, and it is within the boun-
daries of the nine leagues as surveyed them;

QUARTZ DECISION IN AMADoR.-At the Dis
trict Court held recently in Amador county
says the Union, it was decided. in the case Of
Isaac Perkins vs.. Ethan T. Pendleton, Sam'l
Hanford, W. T. WildmaD, w. j. Paugh and
Others defendants, composing the Spring Hill
Quartz Company, that if the judgments upon
which defendant, E. T. Pendleton, redeemed
were fraudulent, for being without consider
alton, and being made to defraud plaintiff,
the same be set aside, as the only means of
securing deed to the property. as he could
not impeaeh collaterally on mandamus A.
gainst the Sheriff On the other hand IL tho
process upon which they were recovered was
not served, they are void, and manda,nus
for deed would lie against the officer selling,
and that bill in equity could not be main
tanned. For this and other reasons stated in
the opinion the demurrer was sustained, and
plaintiff had leave to amend in twenty days,

A RACE OF PEOPLE DESTROYED BY VOLCANIC
ERUPTIoNs.-Numerous stones Of rare quality
and beauty were seen, Gays correspondent
writing from the vicinity of Fort Defiance,
New Mexico, and immense quantities of bro
ken pottery were strown in every direction.
The latter fact favors the supposition that a
race of people once inhabited this country,
who were either destroyed by volcanic erup-
tion and earthquakes, or have ceased to ex-
ist by gradual deterioration. All through
this Territory are to be found Astic ruins,
and it is not unreasonable to presume that a
superior race to the present at one time were

MIDNIGHT ASSAULT IN Stockton STREET
Mr.. j. p. Haven was walking with q friend
through Stockton street on Thursday night
about twelve o'clock, and had just passed
Broadway when his attention was attracted
10y scuffling on the opposite side ofthe street
and at the same moment heard the quick and
alarmed remark 1" am not armed-don't
strike mel" This was under the shade OF
some houses, so that the trouble, whatever il
was, could not be ascertained. The said
gentlemen FASTENED across the street, and as
they crossed, they observed two men separate
one of whom passed. up the street while the
other remained leaning over the gutter, with
the blood dripping from his head, and his
face besmeared with it. Mr. Haven inquired
of the injured man (whose name is Lyons
who had assaulted him and what was the
cause Of the affair. But he refused to give
any account other than that it was a private
matter which he did not wish to have dis.
turbed. Upon this, Mr.. Haven replied that
if he (Lyons) did not, he nevertheless consid
cred it his duty asa citizen, to inquire into it.
The next morning the assailant named Nc
Nab. was arrested and the case after being
heard in the Police Court, was postponed until
to-day at noon.-S. r. Times, SATURDAY.

CALIFORNIA INDIAN RESERVATION SYSTEM
The Senate amended the India Appropriation
bill, by multiplying the reservations in Cali
fornia, and reducing them greltly in size.
The House disagreed to the proposition, how
ever, and it is likely to be lost. in which
event the rescl vations will remain as they
are.
OVERLAND DTELEGRAPH-Senator Broderick
as you are aware, sometime since introduced
bill to aid in the erection of magnetic tel
egraph line across the continent to California,
which was referred to the Post Office Com
mittee, from which Mr. Gwin has reported
it with substitute, proposing a contract for
Il term of years at $4,000 per annum, or
about Sl37 per diem. for telegraphic service
for the Government. As this amount-the
most that could be obtained from the Com
mittcc during the present collapse in Uncle
Sans vaults-is deemed by the California
parties who are pressing the matter here, to
be insufficient to secure the construction of
the work, the friends of the measure have
determined to let it stand at present without
further action, with view to moving it again
at the next session under more auspicious
circumstances.
THE LIME PoINT INVESTIGATION. The IN
vestigation of the alleged Lime Point fraud
has been concluded before the Senate Military
Committee, of which Mr. Broderick is mem.
Der. The evidence, which will all be pub
lished by the Senate, has not yet transpired
but | understand that no testimony was ad-
duced tending to sustain charge of fraud
By the way, there is no probability of the
passage of the bill for the condemnation of
private property in time of peace for the use
of the United States, as distinguished iurists
have declared their opinions that it would be
unconstitutional. The owners of Lime Point,
however, will wait long while before they
obtain their enormous demand for the desired
fort site. If they choose to sell it at a liberal
price, the Government will purchase it, and
thus enhance the value of the adjoining prop
erty but no Administration will dare out
rage public propriety by acceding to the ex-
orbit mt demand heretofore made WASHING.
