FIVE DAYS IN THE SSow.-We learn from Mr..
Clark, merchant at Inskips, that man named
Ned McNulty, started on Sunday week to 90
from Inskips to Bull creek, distance of five
miles, but becoming bewildered wandered amid
the SHOWS of the west branch of Feather river
for five days and nights. During this period
he was without food or shelter save the cloth
ing he wore. The falling snow had obliterated
his tracks, SO that be was unable to retrace
his steps AT the end OF the fifth day, he had
approached within mile of Inskips, and be-
coming exhausted had lain down under tree
and concluded to exhaust his remaining strength
il hallooing for assistance. Fortunately his
cries were heard at mining camp, and the in
mates Immediately repaired to his rescue. We
doubt whether there is another instance on
record where human endurance has survived
such period in the SHOWS of the Sierra Neva-
Record

EXCESS OF PAssENGERs.-Eighteen of the Sec
ond cabin passengers on Ihe steamer Sonora,
during the late trip OF that steamer from Pana-
ma to San Francisco, preferred claim in the
U. S. District Court, TO recover from the steam
er damages amounting in all to $4,000. The
steamer was libelled, just previous to the time
fixed for sailing, but the agents gave bonds,
and she proceeded on her way. 1t is charged
that the vessel carried some 500 passengers
above the number limited by law; that the ship
was not properly ventilated, &c.

LOST CHILD.--A correspondent, writing from
Anderson's Valley. states that on Tuesday 4th
inst, the little son of Mr.. Ralson, who was
about four years of age, strayed away from
home. His course was traced by his tracks for
some distance, and. as fresh tracks of bears
were at the same time discovered, fearful APP
prehensions were entertained of his fate. The
whole valley turned out in search OF the mis-
sing child. and on the second day after his dis.
appearance, about sunset. he was found about
a mile from his fathers house. He seemed to
have been in the creek, and was so chilled by
exposure, that he died on the following day

CASE OF DIR. DUNcoMBE.-The Assembly, by
a vote of so to 26, have Ousted DR.. Duncombe
from his seat in that body, to which he was ell
ccted by the people of Sacramento county.
He was ousted for the reason that he was elect
cd as an anti-Lecompton Democrat; and the
fact that he had many years ago taken an oath
of allegiance to foreign government was
made the excuse. There are now thousands Of
men in this State who have taken oaths of alle-
glance to foreign governments, many Of them
holding Office, who have always exercised the
rights of citizenship, and we venture there is
not Court in the United States, that would
not now hold DR.. Duncombe to be a citizen. 1t
is useless to state, that none but the more big
oted Lecomptonites voted for the expulsion.

REPORTED FIGHT WITH INDIANs.-A slip from
the office of the Los Angeles Star, Of Jan. 10Th,
says:
The San Bernardino stage has just arrived.
bringing the startling intelligence that the
command of fifty dragons, under Lieutenant
Chapman and the escOr; Of Col. Hoffman, was
attacked at the Colorado, by the indians, and
compelled to fall back leaving several Indians
dead.
The Mohaves had united with the Pyutes and
other tribes. and declared that no military post
should be established in the country, but that
the whites should have permission to pass
through.
The report was brought into San Bernardino
10y Griffith Williams who had accompanied the
command. 1t is said that Col. Hoffman had
retired 10 the Mejave river.
The Indians mustered about eight hundred
warriors.

OREGoN.-Late advces from Oregon, state
that the Legislature were discussing bill for
the protection of slave property in the Terri
tory. Three reports from the members of the
Judiciary Committee were before the House;
one from the Buchanan Democracy, taking the
ground that the Territorial Legislature had o
right under the Constitution of the United
States to pass laws for the protection Of slave
property; another from the Douglas wing, rec
ommending the "let alone policy;" and third,
from the Republicans, denying the power of
Congress or the Territorial Legislature to in
terfere with the subject Of slavery in Terri
tory, either to protect or prohibit it.

LATER FROM THE EAsT.-The overland mail.

fibusters on the soil of Nicaragua, and re-
turned to Pensacola. Meetings were being
held at various places in the South for the pur.

defendants. The case of Kelsey Vs. Abbott,
which was supposed to involve the legality OF

probably settle the question as to whether pro-
perty can be sold for taxes

A KIDNAPPING CAsE-Some little excitement
was created at San Francisco. on Thursday. by
kidnapping affair. It seems that DIR. Nc
Cormick and bis wife, bad brought TO this State
three slaves, who have resided with them for
some time in the interior. The Doctor and bis
wife were about to leave for the East on the
Sonora, aud gave the slaves their choice, to re
turn to Maryland, or remain here. Two of
them concluded to remain, and the other, boy
named Mathews, sgnifed his desire to return
with his master The Doctor had sent his bag
gage to the steamer, and carriage was drawn
up in front of his lodgings to convey himself
and wife to the steamer. Mathews was assist
ing in the preparations for leaving, and as be
stepped on the sidewalk, he was surrounded by
about dozen negroes, who seized and spirited
him away. The Doctor concluded to remain
at San Francisco until the sailing of another
steamer, in order to recover the boy, and pro-
cured warrant for his arrest. He was arrest
ed the next day in the street. and stated that
he had passed the night at house in the sand
hills, and had been let out at bis own request.

SLAUGHTERING INDIANS.-A wholesale slaugh-
ter of Indians occurred at Round Valley, Men
docino county, on the first of January. The
Indians were accused of killing hogs belonging
to the settlers and the latter gathered force,
made an onslaught upon rancheria, and killed
about forty of the redskins. 1t is estimated
that no less than ITO Indians have been killed
at Round Valley. since the first of last Decem-
ber. On Jan. 5th, Maj Johnston, with some
thirty men arrived there to protect the Indians.
On his arrival all the Indians fled, but on being
made acquainted with his object returned on
the 7th. When Maj. Johnston understood the
actual condition of things, he returned at once
to Eden Valley for his troops as he expected a
still greater slaughter of Indians on the Sth inst
Under oil the circumstances that have surround
ed the California Indians for the past ten years,
we'll might the Governor, in his message re-
mark thus:
II fear that it will be found very difficult, il
not impossible to adopt any plan which will
prolong the existance Of the Indian tribes in
California, for any considerable period. They
are fast fading away, particularly those located
10 the vicinity of our towns and settlements.
The vices of the white men. which they readily
adopt, will soon remove them from amongst us.
The trees from which they obtain their food de-
stroycd, the fish driven from the streams where
they were once found in abundance. starvation
will carry off thousands. while many will fall
victims to the barbarity of our own race. That
which we complain of in savages, we too often
practice ourselves. When n citizen is killed by
an Indian, no matter what the provocation may
have been, pursuit is at once made. and the first
of his tribe who may be caught-be he high or
Lows lawlessly butchered. Instead of hunt
ing up the guilty, the innocent and harmless
are thus oftentimes sacrificed"
