Indian Murders in California.

Hndian Murders I'm California.
Extensive Indian depredations have oc.
cured in Eastern California. Several
Americans have been killed by the copper
faced rascals during the spring, and on the
18th ult, Major Ormsby with 1o5 volunteers
set cut in pursuit and overlook them at a
point IS miles Northwest of Virginia City,
where the Indians to the number of five
hundred were in ambush, well armed with
guns and pistols. A most murderous con-
dict cnsued; the savagcs having the advan-
sagc of numbers and a hiding place, soon
scattered tho American force, and about
fifty whites were killed, among whom was
Major Ormsby, many others missing and
only twenty eight returned alive. General
Clark, commander of the U. S. forces, has
despatched number cf troops to the scene
Of conflict, and it is thought the troubles
will now cease. There are 1000 Indians
now on the Eastern side of the mountain,
supposed to be in league with the Mormons
in Utah. The Mormons and Indians are
hostile toward the people of the States.

le speech Of Hon. Eli Thaver, on
nage Of this paper. Mr.. T. is a
6f Congress from Massachusetts,
aa'a prominent member Of the late
Convention. In the Lecompton
ky he, like the masses Of his par
his adhesion to the doctrine Of
Sovereignty but, unlike grca:
Of his party affiliants, he retains
views he then announced.
hle the Polygamy bill was pending in
grcss it was asserted that Democrats
opposed it and that therefore the Democra-
~ were in favor of polygamy. 1t will be
seen from a perussl of this Republican
speech that there are two sides to the ques-
ton; at all events the Chicago politicians
must have thought so, else they would net
have left out Of their platform the celebrat-
cd Philadelphia language '.polygamy and
slavery, those twin relics of barbarism."
AS all discussions relating to Mormonism
are important to US, we expect every man
and woman will read the speech referred to.

around upon the table--a few yards of
ribbon in one, some dress trimmings
in another, roll of cotton cloth, n
pair Of gloves, and some small plaid
for aprons finishing the little stock of
dry-goods Upon the floor stood a
markct-baskct with tea, coffee, sugar,
raisins, and several pounds of dried
fruit, all done up in merchantable
way, and corresponding with the bill
that laid open upon the table-reccipt.

WHO WANTS IMPROVED STOCK =?

There are many Of the farmers of
this State who want to purchase
thoroughbred, procrcativc animals,
with which to cross upun Our native
breeds to obtain one or two from a
long distance would involve an cX-
pcnditurc and risk, which few are
willing or able to undergo The un-
dcrsigncd, therefore, proposes to pur.
chase such as may be ordered be
tween this and the first Of August
next, provided the aggregate orders
amount to 81, 900, Of cattle, sheep and
hogs, and deliver the same at Iowa
City, at the time Of the State Fair,
They will be of such breeds as may
bc ordered and if possible to be Oh
tanned in this or any of the ncighbor-
ing or Eastern States, and delivered
at the proposed time and place, they
will be procured. The selection will
be made by parties perfectly compct-
cmt to the task, and the animals will,
in every respect, be equal to the guar
anty. The cost Of delivery will not
exceed ID per cent. on animals pur-
chased at a cost OF 500 OF under, and
ten per cent on those costing more
than 500. No charge will be made
for purchasing,
Persons ordering will be as specific
as possible in the description of the
kind and breed Of the animal required,
and if of cattle, whether the ncccssa,
~ requisites are for beef or butter, OF
both. Thirty per cent. Of the amount
of the order must accompany the or
der, and q forfeiture Of thirty pen
cent. more if the animal or animals
are not taken from the point of deliv
cry at the time mentioned. All or
dcrs Of 500 and under will have to
be met III full when the animal or ami
mails are delivered. On orders beyond
that amount, it is thought that siA
months time can be given on approved
paper, less the thirty per cent. ad
vanccd. If any order cannot be filled
the money advanced will be returned
to the party ordering. Great caution
should be exercised in the remittanc,
Of money, and all sums over ten dol
lars should, for safety, be in a draf

TIE MASSACRE At SITAPUR.

Christian GU the other side. II so, as
evidence shows they were together
they had just crossed, and that would
be all, when Mr.. Christian fell dead,
pierced by many balls. Nobly had he
