The Indian War North,

1t affords us pleasure, says the Humboldt
Time, to announce that the Indian war in our
country may now safely be considered at an
end. Cen Kibbe was in town on Thursday,
and entered into contract with Captain
Woodley, of the bark Fanny Major, to take
another batch of prisoners to Mendocino.-
The General informs us that Captain Messec
had, on Monday last, 70 prisoners, and that
Lieut.. Winslett had captured about % more,
which had not left camp when he left. The
dans are entirely sterved out, and the wealth.
er has been SO severe that they could not
hunt in the mountains, and dare not 90 down
on the streams.
The Redwood prisoners captured by par
ty of citizens, some two weeks since, on Mad
River, are pointing out the camps of the
Redwoods to the volunteers and the Indians
are captured without difficulty. The Gen
left here under the impression that clean
sweep of the Redwood tribe would be made
this week, and hopes that some time next
week he will be able to disband the compa-
ny. Quite n number of guns have been bro't
in, among them some very fine rifles.
1t is of the utmost importance that the ex.
petition should be brought to a close in time
to have the,bills examined and paid before the
adjournment Of the Legislature, A friend of
ours, who has recently returned from Sacra-
mento, informs us that he had a conversa.
ton with Governor Weller on the subject,
and that his Excelency expressed himself as
being highly pleased with the manner in
which the campaign has been conducted, and
stated that he should urge upon the Legisla-
ture the proprety and actual necessity OF
paying the expenses incurred out of the State
Treasury forthwith
From the Northern Californian of March
I'd, we take the following items in relation
to the Indian troubles in Humboldt:
Owing to the severity of the weather, the
volunteers have suspended active operations
for short time. They are quartered at, or
near Bates Ranch, Mad River
1t is said the Indians have been driving of
and killing some cattle belonging to Mr.. p
Lothian, in the vicinity Of DoW's Prairie
There is no doubt but they will continu,
their outrages until gathered in.

Literary Matters.

The fame of Prescott, the historian. and
Bond, the astronomer, have been testified to
by numerous eulogies from such men as Ev-
erett Bancroft, Pro Pierce, and others. who
have said all that was fitting and sympa
thetic to say before historical and astronomic.
al societies here and in other cities. The
world will rejoice to know that there is a
prospect that Prescotts unfinished work,
Phillip H., will be completed by gentleman
every way qualified to perform so grand a
work. and perhaps the only man living en-.
pable of performing it, Besides the cnpabili
ty of the gentleman in question for the task,
there is the consideration that this work
should be finished, arising from the absolute
necessity for such history---no one under
taking new one while this remains incom
plete.
It's now generally credited that Dickeus
is again to visitus, TO read his own works. as
he has lately been doing in England with
much success. He is said to possess great
dramatic power, and doubtless will do we'll

passages from his American Notes or

We leave out portion of the foregoing
extract, it having been answered IN another
place
We do not desire to exhibit any undue
rlorifcation over a PROSTATE enemy, or to
take away the poor privilege from the oppo-
sition of accounting for their defeat by any
reasonable excuses that they can conjurc up;
but the above declaration of the Express is
too monstrousy sweeping in its character to
be allowed to pass unnoticed, If there was
"a coalition" of the kind spoken of, it is
somewhat singular that Republicans were
found openly supporting the Lecompton
ticket! We hazard nothing in saying that
full as many Gf not more) out-and-out Repub
lcans, and certainly as many full iedged
Old Line Abolitionists, voted for the oppo
si.ion as for US This kind of shrek about
fusion, coalition" and all that, wont do
1t may scryeits purpose to keep up the droop
ing spirits Of Lecomptonism in distant quar-
ters of the State, but it makes no impression
here, where the facts of the case are known
The Express, however, misses the mark il
more ways than one. 1t says the Democracy
of Marys, lille is defeated. Grievous error
The Democracy is successful by an over
whelming majority.

TRADE WITH MARYsvrLLE-Seely advert.
ses that his teams will leave Marysville every
Monday. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and
Saturday for French Corral, Birchvile
sweetland and North San Juan. Goods can
be consigned to his care at Marysville from
the cities below, and no charge will be
made for storage.
1t is to the advantage of our merchants to
Patronize Seely, for they can obtain their
goods via Marysyille at lower freight the
year round than by any other route.
We are glad to perceive that our trade with
Marysville is steadily on the increase. and if
the merchants of that city conduct business
with proper liberality and enterprise. they
will ultimately secure the most oft. Noar.
gument is required to prove that city only
thirty five miles distant over good summer
and winter road, ought to command more
trade from this place than one sixty miles
distant over roads not near so good at any
season.-North San Juan Press Sat.

TRIUMPH OF lNNocEcE; OR a DEER CHASE.
The most exciting event which has trans
pired in Downieville since time to which
our memory runneth not, was caused this
weeek by the appearance Of a couple of deer.
which had been driven into town from Gal.
loway Hill. One of the animals was killed
in garden and the other ran across the riv.
er to Durgan Flat, with every body in chase
yelling and firing pistols. One man attempt
ed to jump the river and half succeeded had
he cleared the stream and had the deer been
unable to run, he might have caught IT, The
frightened animal recrossed the river below
town and was followed by several men on
horses and mules, followed by dogs and
cheered by the crowd assembled on DUNCAN
bridge. The deer escaped and has our sYm.
pathy and best wishes for its long life and
happiness, We never saw such determina-
tion to run down innocence as was made on
that day, and the triumph which it achieved
by mere fieetness Of foot, did us good to see.

RumOred Changes--ReOrganization OF
Cabinet.

II is rumored that Chief Justice Taney and
Judge Mclean intend resigning their seats
on the bench of the Supreme Court. Both
are very aged and in infirm health, the Chief
Justice being over eighty years of age and
Judge Mclean seventy-six. Their eminent
public services will make the fulfllment OF
their intentions a cause of very neral re.
gret. Should these changes take place, then,
it is said, Judge Black will o. on the bench,
and thus offer favorable opportunity for

Domestic MoNsTER-A man named Ar
chibald Mofat, a resident of Trinity street,
near the Rassette House, was arraigned in
the Police Court this morning for assault and
battery upon his daughter, Catherine Moffat
1t appeared by the evidence of John Flood,
lodger in the house. that yesterday morning
Moffat threatened to horsewhip his daughter,
who is II years of age. She replied she
would like to see him do it, and he made an
attack upon her. The witness interfered,
and next Moffat procured a horsewhip and
gave him a whipping with it, From other
testimony, it appeared that Moffat had been
partially drunk, and very abusive towards
his wife, daughter, son, and dodgers in the
house. He had been arrested on Saturday
for drunkenness, but discharged Yesterday
his wife and little son came to the police and
stated they had been driven out of their

last Joseph Pringle and William Foote (coor-

pistols and knives, in the yard of the former
which resulted much to the injury of Foote,
who was shot in the arm and stabbed in the
back. The latter wound was thought to be
mortal for time but it proved to be not very
serious. Pringle was arrested and convicted
of some sort of offence. and fined one dollar
and costs. 1t appeared that Foote was il

Traitors.

EDITOR DEMOCRAT of all the men whom
the world should heartily despise and scorn
as they would pestilence is the traitor to
cause when victory is about to perch upon its
banner
In the election through which we have
just passed let the eye and memory rest for a
few moments upon few individuals claiming
to be Douglas Democrats, and behold the
for bitterness offecling because they could not
have everything their own way in the party
Do you not see them working with all their
might against party whose welfare they
pretended to have so much at heart Whose
loud mouthed professions and parrot preach
ing impudcnce previous to the nominating
convention, now convinces every body who
knows them, that their hearts are as hollow
as Millions Mammon. Such men should
have Tom Moores curse to the Traitor, in
/ Lallah Rookh NJ on them:
| Oh for a tongue to curse the slave,
/ Whose treason, like deadly blight.
Comes DER the councils of the brave
And blasts them in their hour ofmight
| May lfe's unbessed cup for him
BE drugged with treachery to the brim;
With hopes that but allure to fly,
/ With iovs that vanish while he sips,
Like Dead Sea fruits that tempt the eye
But turn to ashes on his lips
HIS country's curse, his chdrens shame
Outcast Of virtue, peace and fame,
May he at last with lips of flame,
On the parched desert thirstng die,
Whilst lakes that shone in mockery nigh,
Are fading off untouched, untasted,
Like the once glorious hopes he basted
And when from earth his spirit flies,
Just prophet let the damn'd one dwell
