The mining news from all the mining localities
was very encouraging. The mining community
have never been more busy nor never before better
rewarded for their labors.
From ARIZoNA.-Americdn8 driren of Sonora.
Mr. W. II. Jarvis, in company with several Amer
leans residents of the Territory arrived in Tubac,
from Sonora on the evening of the 3Oth ult. Their
departure from Hermosillo was somewhat accelera-
ted from the fact that singular excitement existed
in the city, and every American was notified to
leave at once, under penalty ofdeath for remain
ing. The population greatly excited throng-
ing the streets, insulting and threatening Amer
leans, evidently with full consent from the author
tiles, who seemed to share the prevailing senti-
ment.
In or two instances houses belonging to
Americans were forcibly entered by the mob who
threatened general massacre of every American
in the city, and the fifteen and twenty there
scattered about in various places, the opportunity
for such a characteristic Mexican performance was
excellent.
There was no particular reason assigned for
this sudden and remarkable ebution of hostility
towards Americans. No cause had been given that
any American was aware of. The few Americans
in the city quietly attending their own af-
fairs, when they beset insulted threatened
and abused, in outrageous style, and under the
circumstances resistance was useless.-Arazonan,

From VICTORIA AND BRIrIsH CoLUMB1A-We have
received the Victoria Gazette of April DIST, from
which make the following extracts
The steamer Eliza Anderson. Wells, master, ar
rived yesterday morning. from Langley, with TWEEN
ty-one passengers, S35 600 in gold dust and the
Expresses, but no mail. Among the passengers
eight nine discouraged miners who tell
very doleu stories of their adventures in the Ca
noe Country, and predict general stampede back
from the mines. In contradiction to them, we
have the fact of the continued migration northward
and the very little effect of these dscouraging ac-
counts upon the miners on the Lower Fraser, to-
gether with the very considerable receipt of gold
dust by the same steamer.
letter dated Fort Hope, April l4th, says:
This side of Yale, many of the miners are taking
out big amounts of gold daily, some of them almost
fabulous. Victoria Bar is at present the of
some as profitable mining as any reasonable man
could desire. Puget Sound Bar is also yielding
handsome return to several companies. On Texas,
Emory's and other bars, where the pay dirt lies
high up, so that the work will not be retarded by
the high water, MANY of the miners will doubtless
stop the entire season, but such have no claims
of this sort will go above.
From OREGoN.-By the arrival Of the Northerner
from Portland, we have received copies of Oregon
papers to April IS:
We learn, says the DoUcs Journal, through Col.
Dennison Agent for the Indians East of the Cas-
cade Mountains in Oregon, that the Snake Indians
wao live on the Western slope of the Blue Noun
| tains nearly opposite the Warm Spring Indian Re-
servation, made descent upon the property of the
friendly Indians upon the Reservation and succeed
ed in running off large number of their horses
and killing several
The agent has asked for a small military force, to
be stationed at the Reserve for the protection of
these Indians.

WASHINGTON TERRITORY-Fort Wdlia WdUa,
W. r., april A. 1S59.-The future greatness Of
Washington Territory is being foreshadowed by the
rapidity with which its fertile valleys are being oc-
cupied by the sturdy yeomanry of our Western
borders. The log cabin can now be in almost
every fertile spot, with the well ploughed fields,
enclosed with substantial fences, giving evidence of
permanent settling of the valleys Bands of cat
tie are constantly being brought in, and brisk
trade in almost every article of merchandise is rap
iply being developed.
The means of communication between Waa
w alla valley and the lower country has been aug
mented by the construction of a superior stern
wheel steamer, called the "Col. Wright" capable
oftransportng eighty to hundred tons offreight
from the mouth of the Deschuttes river to the old
Fort Walla Walla landing.
One year since it was barely possible for a white
man to travel through this country alone without
great danger to himself and almost certain loss of
any animals or property he may have had with
him: but since the hostile Indians experienced the
full force of the Government power, as established
in their merited chastisement by the troops under
command of Col. George Wright, Ninth Infantry,
last Summer, not single hostile movement has
been made against the whites and state of repose
has spread its blessings around, which all trust
will long continue.
