From the San Diego Heraldl
We understand that disturbance has taken place
among the friendly Indians residing at Temecua in this
county Some white persons it is said, have prevented
them from cultivatng the soil which they and their
ancestors have lived for many years deputation from
the tribe to this place in the early part of the week
to ask the nterpostion of the civil authorities in their
behalf These Indians have been the friends of the
white settlers
For days past the headmcn of the principal Indian
tribes of this county have been holding grand pow-wow
council of the wigwam, to determine their future
destiny Whether this congress of the civilized red
has reference to the troubles brewing at Temecua
was held in anticipation of other event in their
history, we have means of determining They pre-
served profound silence to their plans and intentions
but the mute workings of the inward spirit the mosten-

Mr.. Redmond of Santa Clara has introduced into the
senate bill OF the very first Importance most especially
to the three counties of San Francisco San Mateo and
Santa Clara, synopsis of which published in the
letter of Sacramento correspondent of the 10th inst
1t authorizes the counties of this State and cities incorpo
rated to become stockholders in any railway companies
by complying with its provisions The main object of
this bill to enable the three counties already named
fa,hn Anyl,pr Il, Ca,
Jose railroad project work that has at length become
great public necessity, and which should be carried to
successful termination at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
We hope to 500 this bill perfected in all its details
it requires any changes to be made in it to render
paccableand passed at by both branches of the
legislature 1t is measure of the very first importance
and if carried out, believe that but few dissenting

listed the services of several of the most influential

''hostiles, to them that they should not be
harmed, if they would comply with the above demand
O.. join their friends at Mendocino Could this be ac-
compshod there would be an end to tho war
The result is much to be desired by every one inter
ested in the prosperity of the country and we are much
surprised to learn from the general that he meets with
opposition from of the settlers his plans have
been delayed by attempts to tamper with his Hoopa
allies and to poison them against him We can con-
coive of possible for interference with the
plans of the officers of the expedition in their efforts to
rid the country of the natives and hope there will be no
more of it.
