Incidents OF the Yolunteer CAMPS.

On Sunday morning l22 Indian prisoners
were shipped from Uniontown by sail yes
sci to Mendocino Reservation; Messed came
in with 5 prisoners Just in time to 90 with
the crowd. A couple Of squaws who had
lived with white men made great outcry ;
after calling in vain for their lovers they ex
hibited the little mixed breeds, as a last ap-
peal. The Uniontown people made good
deal of fun of one of the happy fathers.
Lengthy" long Virginian. having occa
sion to look for animals was fired on by sew
eral Indians. Refusing to take his gun from
his shoulder, he walked on. until Messed put
twelve buckshct in an Indian who was in the
act of firing at Lengthy" That imperturba-
bic individual, seeing the Indian fall, said ;
Thank ye' Captain, reckon the varmints
were shootin at mew
In one ofthe skirmishes, German, named
Snyder, got tired of his ambuscade behind a
tree, stepped to an open place and resumed
firing with the Indians blazing away at him.
He said he had tried it long enough "yolun-
teer" fashion, and wanted chance Mt em in
"Regular" warfare He escaped unhurt.
Jim Wilburn, who once distinguished him
self by fighting grizzly bear hand to hand
was sent with a wounded man, and returning
discovered an Indian in the bushes. He COM
menced singing to mislead the savage, and
then made a circuit; when opposite the In
dian rose and fired, the ball grazing WiIburn's
ear, and for little while paralyzing his right
side. The hunter dropped his gun and made
after the assaiant with big knife, but the
Indian escaped.
After the recent fight the wounded men
being unable to bear riding had to be help
ed along on foot seventeen miles; Mr.. Work
tainted every two or three hundred yards he
was badly wounded in the arm.
All the volunteers were in Uniontown on
Monday; they were to divide into three par
ties. There are in the neighborhood about
400 Indians, all painted flaming red, even to
the squaws and children; they declare their
intention of eXterminatinS the whites. Dur
ing the march back, after the recent battle, it
was discovered that the Indian women pinch
ed their children so that their squalling might
discover the locality of the party; this oc
casioned the shooting of Calvin Gum.
The foregoing was learned from Mr.. Shaft
er. the Humboldt mailman. who came in on
Wednesday night Trinity Journal.
We know the jim Wilburn alluded to in
the above, and he is "half alligator and half
wild cat"

TROUBLE NEAR NAPA-A correspondent at
Napa informs MS, says the S. F. Times. of
Wednesday, that at distance of 26 miles
from that town, at place called the Hot
waters, lot of sheep to the number of 800
had been killed by the settlers The sheep
belonged to Samuel Brannan of this city. 1t
seems Mr.. Brannan holds the country lying
about by virtue of a mortgage, and recently
placed $500 head of sheep on the grounds
The settlers at first demurred, and Monday
night damned creek which the animals
were in the habit of crossing, by which a
large number were drowned. Others were
found dead. and some poisoned wheat has
been found near their bodies. The sheep
cost Mr.. Brannan six dollars per head. Mr..
Brannan left yesterday for the "Hotwaters, "
and the chances are there will be more hot.

PROPOSED RESTORATION OF CAPITAL PUNISH
MENT IN MIcHGAN-The Detroit Advertiser
says:
"The recent murders and homicides in this
State have given rise TO the belief amongst a
large class Of our citizens that the abolition
of capital punishment has led to a rapid in
crease Of that crime, and that its restoi alton
is the only restraint that can be successfully
interposed to check the evil. Accordingly,
petitions are in circulation in favor of the old
system Of blood for blood"

as" Asscmblyman Aud is not exactly do
ing the straight thing" by his Lecompton
friends in the Legislature and the State gen.
orally. He does not come up to time on the
different partisan tests which are raised IL
the Assembly, If we mistake not, he was
missing when the roll was called and every
Leeomptonite expected to do his duty" on
the occasion of the vote to exclude Dr. Dun
combe from his seat in the House just be-
fore the vote was taken we are informed that
some very pressing business called Mr.. Aud
out, and he was unable to get back until it
was tco late to record his vote. When the
vote was taken on the question of rejecting
the minority protest against the action of
the Legislature in the Duncombe case, MIR.
Aud, if we recolect Alright, voted in favor of
spreading the paper on the records Such an
offense against party decrees and promulga-
tions is not to be tolerated in these days of
monarehical power, at all, and we wonder at
Mr. Aud's temerity- We believe Mr.. Aud
acted no better in the Brett case, and that of
the cotemporaneous charges with respect to
the financial affairs of the Asylum, having
actually voted against the Lecompton major
ity in those matters, before they concluded
that it was prudent to allow an investigation
into the alleged wrongful transactions. If
our longitudinal friend takes such latitudin-
Gus action, as a systCmatical thing, he is just
ns certain to be read out of the great Lecomp-
ton party as the sun now shines. As you
have gone into Lecomptonism, Brother Aud.
you mustn't undertake to be conscientious
You can't serve God and Mammon. Go the
entire swine or come out Of the pen.

THE REAsoN.-The S. F. National com
menting on the refusal of Hon. d. H. Sickles,
member of Congress from New York, to ac-
cept the challenge of DR.. Tucker or to chal--
lenge Secretary Tucker, who has denounced
him as liar. proceeds to quote several arti-
cles from the New York papers wherein the
conduct of Sickles is pronounced cowardly,
and adds some sarcastic reflections on the in
justice of public opinion on this subject
which at one time condemns duelling and at
another denounces a man as a coward be
cause he refuses to accept or to give chal-
lenge. The National hardly does justice to
the true character of the spirit exhibited by
the New York press towards Sekles. Public
sentiment in that State, as in all the other
northern States, is opposed to dueling, but Mr.
Sickles having always pretended to recognize
'the code" and studiously conveyed the idea
that he would fight upon provocaton, the
papers now say that. according to the code
which he recognizes he is bound to fight or
acknowledge himself coward. Whether
they do him justice or not in this, we cannot
say, as We have not become sufficiently ac-
quainted with the merits of the case to make
up an opinion as to whether it is really ne
cessary to his honor that he should fight or
not

t3- The expected duel at Sacramento, al
luded to in our telegraphic dispatch Of yes
terday, it seems, is between Mr. McCoppen,
of San Francisco, and Mr.. Gilman, Clerk of
the Assembly The Register alludes to it in
this wise
It is generally understood that's a challenge
passed Yesterday from Mr.. McCoppen, of san
Francisco to Mr. Gilman, Clerk Of the As
semblv and that an answer is expected from
the latter by nine o'clock this morning AS
matters in connection with these affairs are
generally kept very quiet by those most in
terested and their friends, it is difficult to as
certain whether there is any truth in the
above report or not. 1t will be reeollected
thatthe parties referred to had a difficulty
at the st. George Hotel last Monday evening
growing out of Mr.. McCoppen's removal from
the position of journal clerk of the Assem-
bly,
