A THRILLING INcIDENT.-The following Incl
dent of the late Digger war in Humboldt county
is given by the Northern Californian:
At an attack upon one of the Indian ranches.
a number OF braves were captured, who had,
with squaws and children, deserted the ranch
an inglorious prey. An old chief, the Moweena
of his band, then took his stand in the centre of
the ranch-his household gods scattered around
hm-deserted and alone, but armed and reso-
lutte, and would not be taken. A parley was held
the old chief was demanded to surrender. but
he was firm. The volunteers were brave men,
but there were none that could be found to face
the muzzle of the old mans leveled rifle.
word given, and he might have been dropped,
riddled like cullender but, their orders were
to take him alive, and thus one man held at bay
a score.
Nevertheless he was taken he who would
not yield to numbers-who feared not death
was taken by one of his own peculiar strata
gems.
The only surviving wife of the old mana
young squaw, was brought forward, and, taking
her before him. Lieut.. Winslett advanced, COW
ering his body with this frail but to him, invul-
nerable shield. Afraid to fire upon the pair, the
old man, after moments hesitation, lowered
his weapon, and was Immediately surrounded
and ironed.

Works OF THE EANcIENTs.-Ninevah was fifteen
miles long, eight wide, and forty miles round
with a wall one hundred feet high, and thick
enough for three chariots abreast. Babylon was
fifty miles within the walls, which were seventy
five feet thick, and four hundred feet high, with
one hundred brazen gates. The Temple of Di-
ana, at Ephesus, was four hundred and twenty
feet to the support of the roof Tt was hundred
years in building. The largest of the pyramids
is four hundred and eighty-one feet high, and
six hundred and ffty-thres on the Sides
Its base covers eleven acres. The stones are
about thirty feet in length, and the layers are
three hundred and eighty. 1t employed three
hundred and thirty thousand men in building

chambers and two hundred and Fifty halls

miles around, ard contained three hundred and
fifty thousand citizens, and four hundred thous-

The Chinese Question.

Inc Assembly, like the mountain, has been
in labor on the Chinese question, and in great
travail mas brought forth the following contempt
iue mouse:
ResolOed, by the Assembly, the Senate con-
curing, That our Senators are instructed and
our Representatives requested to urge upon
congress the passage of a law for the prevention
OF the further immigration of said Chinese or
Mongolians to this State.
We are glad that Mr.. Street protested against
the passage of this resolution, upon the ground
that it virtually admits away State sovereignty,
and agrees to the absurdity that sovereign
State can not exclude from its Borders any per-
sons who, it may believe, will taint the morals
of citizens, or breed discontents cr instructions
The committee in the Senate having it in
charge, recommended that it do not pass. We
trust the Senate will kick the miserable thing
out of the chamber. The idea of parcel of leg
islators gravely asking Congress to do for them
that which they can do in day for themselves
is, indeed, humiIiating to their constituents. We
assert that it is impossible for any intelligent
man, who has carefully watched the doings oi
the present Assembly, to respect that body as
whole.
We observe that on the 14th inst, the Com
mittee on Mining Interests, composed of Messrs
Wing, of Placer, Watkins, of Siskiyou, Arm
strong, of Nevada, Eagon, of Amador, and Doug
las, of Ell Dorado,-all representing mining
counties, reported against the act to prohibit
Chinese working the gold mines in the State of
California. Mr.. Crenshaw, Chairman of the Com
mittee, made minority report in favor of the
bill
We regret that those Legislators who profess
to be in favor of encouraging the Chinese tt
quit the mines, have paid so little attention to
this matter. Several bills were promptly intro
fduced in the early part Of the session, but since
then but little has been heard of them They
have been permitted to be quietly killed, by be-
ing kept back until the tail end of the session.
If the same industry that has been exhibited in
| the passage of bills for the benefit of indivdu-
| ais, had been exerted in behalf of one of the
Anti-Chinese bills, it is quite possible that it
might have become o law. At least it would
not have been killed by its professed friends

ARIzoNA.-A correspondent of the S. F. Her.

ARIzosA.-A correspondent of the S. F. Her.
aldsays:
If there is an Arid-zone on the face of the
earth, the Gadsden Purchase is that place. What
is called the desert on the California side of the
Colorado river, is garden in comparison to Ar
izona. This strip of country is bed of cactus
and mosquito trees-there is only one watering
place on the road for hundred miles, and it
well. 1t is so poor that nothing but sand groes
in it, and the ordinary insects that infest other
countries do not exist upon its surface
This corresponds precisely with Lieut. Carr's
opinion of the Gadsden Purchase.

A DISTINGUISHED UNFoRTUNATR-- poor,
wretched looking man was found upon the streets
last evening" and brought into the Station House
IN state OF helpless drunkenness. He was
placed in one of the cells and laid out upon the
asphaltum floor and at half-past O'clock last
evening he was attacked by an epileptic fit, and
but for the prompt kindness of the officer in
attendance, the poor fellow might have died in
agony Upon inquiry, we learn the mans name
is Louis Murat, and that he is a lineal descend
ant ofJoachim Murat, King of Naples, under
the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte. He arrived
in this country in 1s49, having considerable
means, and letters of credit; the former he
squandered, and the latter he lost, and for two
years he has been common street hummer

Like evening shadows creeping
Across the summer sky,
Come to our yonns hearts weeping,
The last, the fond good bye.
We list It's tones in sadness,
While stealing on the ear:
We know that hours Of giadness
With them will disappear.
As DER the sea wave dances
The suns bright golden rays,
Hath all that life enhances
lllumcd our youthful days,
Thea ever, irom the future,
y fearful sigh wei give,
For those whose kindlv nurture
Have made il sweet 10 live.
