Nerada Co.-Nevada City-The election pass

appear to be running nearly even--except in the
lst district, where Latham has BIG majority.
TEHAMA-Latham's majority 500; Burch and
Scott, $50.
BUTTE.-Gone for Latham.
Latham is undoubtedly elected by a large
majority as is the whole State ticket.
ANOTHER INDIAN FIGHT.-A short time since
we chronicled the fact that Napoleon McIlroy
had, in company with companion, been mur-
dered by the Indians on Hat Creek Now we
have the painful task of recording the fact that
his brother, who was one of the Pitt River
Rangers, in fight with the Beaver Creek Indi-
ans, few days since, was severely wounded
having received serious, and, in all probabili
ty, fatal wound in the bowels, accidentally, from
the hands of one of his companions. The Ran.
gers had attacked avery large rancheria of In.
dians, early in the morning while it was ye
scarce light, and in the melee the accident oc.
! CURED. Two other of the Rangers were wound
ed, by Indian arrows, but not very seriously A
very large number of Indians were killed in tht
hght-rumor having carried the number al
high as 60 or TO- AT all events, whether these
figures be exaggerated or not, the Indians have
received terrible chastisement.
The Shasta courier., 1859-09-10

These figures sum up thus: Skillman 64s
Andrews, Gel Spatz, 4l3.
This puts Andrews 10 in the lead, with Sierra
to hear from, Unless Sierra overcomes this

AN HoNoR TO HER RAcE-Ths morning
about 10 o'clock, a drunken man was lying
in the street, near the corner of Washington
and Battery streets. He was so drunk that
he could not get up, and worked around in
the mud to no purpose. In the meantime,
two Irish girls came down the street, and
enc of them went up to the fellow, lifted him
to a step, where the rain could not fall
on him. When she had done this hu-
name act, her companion said "Why, amt
you ashamed to go and pick up a drunken
feller, that you don't know, in the street, that
wayY NO" said our heroine-and we are
sorry we do not know her name-"No, I'm
not ashamed to do a kindness for any poor
creature; and | don't care if l know him or
not" As she said this there was a flush on
her check, made by sudden flow from a
warm heart; and, arranging her dress, she
passed on.-S. H. BHlietiH

to British Columbia and without it we can
neither get to nor depart from it. The
Americans have plenty of land in Washing
ton Territory, therefore only want this is
land for the purpose of aggression. l can
not say whether England will assert her
rights; but if she does not, she becomes dis

ence in China, India, Canada and Australia
If this island is lost, we can have no railway
across or telegraph through Canada, as every
thing will have to pass under the American
guns, who can levy what duties they like on
goods going to Fraser river, and the country
must become theirs.

good; the clover and grass cannot be sur.
passed. The Indians are thick as birds but

ing:
The following statistics which you can rely

They will serve to show the state of society
in that unfortunate republic:
In the year 1858, 94,744 persons were con-
vieted of the following crimes viz Murder,

The population of Mexico is estimated at
S,l34,2l9, or little over one.fourth that of

MORE ABOUT THE KILLING OF THE RoBDERs-
We learn from the standard, that officers
Dan Gay and Charley O'Nei returned to
Sacramento on Wednesday, after their traei
cal exploits among the robbers of Todd's
Valley. Officer iay did not secrete himself
eneath the floor of the house in Folsom, but
remained hidden in the bushes, within ia short
distance of the house, between Folsom and
Alder Greek, and overheard the robbers
plans. The man O'Neal fired at was killed
instantly; he was an American-name known
only to the officers. The man officer Cav
shot, was Spaniard named Francisco Lunez.
well known desperado, almost q second
joaquin. As he fell he discharged one bar
rel OF his pistol at the officer, but fortunately
missed his ain. When the robber fell, Lit
tie Dave" the driver, jumped off his box and
went to the Spaniard, who was lying on the
ground, to get his pistol when the robber
who, although mortally wounded, seemed De.
termined to die game, raised almost in his
death struggle, and fired another barrel of
his pistol, the ball taking effect in Dawes
thumb. The officers pursued the two re-
naming robbers as far as prudence would
admit.

Col. FREMoNT-The New York Tribune
in reply to some questions by the News,
uses the following language:
The News wants to know if it is true that
Col Fremont has written a letter declaring
that he is not and will not be a candidate for
President in 1860. We can assure the News
that it is not true. Col, f. is giving his whole
time and energies to his own private affairs,
and is writing no letters at all about the
Presidency. We believe we may further as
sure the News that he will ,cYite none, nor
take any steps intended to influence in any
way the action Of the Republican National
Convention.
