Of this week. most appalling accident occurred
to miner named Ned Donnelly. He, with
two Others were working in a drifting claim,
in which they bad sunk shaft about eighty
two feet deep, from which they run tunnels to

No sooner had he knoched out one of the posts,
than the tagging" (lining) dropped down from
overhead, and the sand rushed in cutting off all
retreat. His comrades for some minutes heard
him distinctly entreating them to get him out.
but the sand kept pouring in steadily but faster
than il could be removed. AT one time they
actually reac he'd one of his hands, but he was
then dead. The sand poured in afresh, and

slaughtered by the Wholesale at Round Valley
A gentleman just from there says that within
the past three weeks, from three to four hun
dred Indian-men, women, and chidren-have
been killed by the whites. The cause Of tbi'
wholesale killing, is the continued depreciation
by the Indians upon the stock of the settlers
and resistance to tho Reservation officials il
their atsempts to collect the Indians upon the
Reservation. In one instance, soldier belong
ing to Lieut.. Dillon's command. was mortaly
wounded by the Indians. 1t is stated that the
women and children are mostly spared by the

possible to cross the river with all my men.
But as l should be under the necessity of divid-

lage on the Missouri river, in Boniteau county.
in an excursion along the hills in the rear OF

Snow SPoUTs.--A singular performance of
the wind is noticed on the hill-sdes near Monte
Cristo; air currents strike snow drift, and
piercing it catch the dry fakes, bringing them
forth and rising in the shape of water spOuts at
sea. Frequently, number of the spirals form
and unite a. hight of from thirty to fifty feet
when they separate and fall like water spray.
This phenomenon, while it resembles the water
spout as perfectly as could be, is more aston
ishing, aud it certainly belongs to the most re-
markable order of natural wonders.-Sierrd

miles back of Mazatan. Pesquiera entered the
city of Mazatlan in triumph, aud seized all the
Mexican vessels that entered the Gulf ports,
and converted them into men-of war. He was
carrying things with high hand, with all the
vigor and energy of a BOnaparte. Success has
turned his bead with all the red blood of fiery
revoluti"nist. There was no telling where be
would stop in his wild and infuriated career.

Axolding the Issue.


Senator Ballou, OF Plumas introduced in the
Senate, on Friday last, preamble and resolu-
tious, asserting the Democratic doctrine. that
that "the people of Territory, like those Of q
State, shall decide for themselves whether slav-
cry shall or shall not exist within their limits
aud instructing our Senators to "vote against
any interference by Congress with the legis-
lation of the Territories, respecting their own
domestic affairs, whether such legislation dis
criminate in favor of or against slavery"
While the resolutions were being read, Mr..
Burch, Of Trinity. moved that they be laid on
the table, which was carried by the following
vote:
Ayes-Messrs. Anderson, Baker, Berry,
Bradley Burch. Burton. Dent. Dickinson, Dem
yer, Garter, Hamm, Holden, Lansing. Melon.
aid. Merritt O'Farrell, Pacheco, Parks, Quinn
and Titus-21.
Noes-Messrs. Allen. Ballou. Grant, Griffith.
Kirkpatrick, Parker, Phelps, Wheeler and Will
liams-9
With the exception of Mr.. kirkpatrick, the
Lecompton Senators all voted to table the res
olutions, thus showing that t. ey were afraid to
meet the issue. They cannot excuse themselves
the people of California have nothing to do. for
each and every one of them have time and
again voted to bring up resolutions of politi-
ca! character. Mr.. Burton is the only Senator
among those voting in the affirmative, who has
been in the habit of voting to keep such reso-
lutions out of the Legislature, and he alone
acted consistently in voting to lay them on the
table.
When Senator Gwin stated on the floor of
the U. S. Senate. that the Democracy of Cali
fornia had never given the Kansas Nebraska
bill such an Interpretation as would allow the
people of the Territories to decide on their own
domestic affairs, he no doubt supposed that he
would be sustained by his friends in this State.
But the friends of the senior Senator appear to
be somewhat backward at present in following
his lead. They may avoid the issue for time.
but they will be compelled before many months
to "face the music"
FIRE AT GEoRoErowN.-A A destructive conia

James Kennedy has been arrested on suspicion
