A Butte FIRE EATER R-Peter Freer recent
ly was made very angry because the Union
intimated that he would support the regular
Democratic nominees, Douglas and johnson.
Oh. no he was too much of fire eater for
that One would suppose, to read his fierce
letter, that he had been raised beside the very
hearth stone Of the dsupionist, Yancey.
Why, every word of his card flashed fire. He
was sound on the negro question" bet!
The truth is, this indignant fire eater not
withstanding a seeming effort to make it APP
pear that he was son of the South, was
born and raised in Rome in the northern part
of New York, and in lS4S was Il Barnburner,
and supported Martin Nan Burin against
Gen. Cass, the regular nominee of the Demo-
cratic party Oh, yes, Freer is a Southern
fire eater, he is ! Many of the same sort may
be found in this oounty.-Shasta Courier.

Last Thursday, Messrs. Langley, Harris and

passed over two hundred rapids and falls into
mountaiRQus country some 400 feet above
the level Of the sea, where they found Il series
of lakes, extending, as the Indians told them
90 miles or more down the Island. Some of
these lakes were twenty miles broad. The
party prospeeted numerous bars on the river
as tney went up, and found gold almost eve
rywhere sufficient to pay 50 or 81 per day
at any rate to the hand. They report fine
agricultural land in places, all the way up
The Indians were friendly, but at the lakes
they warned them on pain of death not to
have communication with some other tribes,
who had dreadful disease lthe small poX, }
described by them as the flesh rotting and
and bones coming through the skin.
Discoveries of silver mines have been made
in the neighborhood of Fort Hope and the
town has again assumed quite an animated
appearance.
The news from the river continues encour-
aging, The silver mine at Fort Hope is be-
ing thoroughly prospected.

AssAssINATED.
The Estrella de Occidente states that it was
reported that Gen. llilario Gabilondo, the
atrocious murderer of Cavorca, ha d been as
sassinated at his residence at Santa Cruz If
so, it was a fitting death for so foul an assas>
sin.
JACK POWERS.
Jack Powers, says the Estrella de Ooci-
dente, left Ures on the morning of Monday,
July 23d, with two large wagons loaded with
flour, pinole, cotton goods, etc, etc, with one
hundred Yaqui Indians, bound for the newly
discovered gold mines on the Mimbres river
in New Mexico.
THE APACHEs.
The Apaches still continue their atrocities
in Sonora> On the 22d July they murdered
a man, two women and child on the road,
but short distance from the town of Bar
muco. They killed the child by seizing it
by the heels and beating its brains out against
the stones. They also carried off another
child aged three years. son of one of the mpr-
dered women.
THE YAQUIs.
0n the 9th of July 400 soldiers marched
from Ures to assist in subduing the Yaqu
tribe of Indians. They were to reinforce an
other large party already acting against
those Indians, and other detachments were
also on the march from several points The
Estrella thinks that the force now in the field
will be more than sufficient to subdue the
Yaquis.

A party left Portland for the purpose of

in consequence of their frequent breaches, got
his revolver for the purpose of shooting them.
Mrs Kelly desiring that the cattle should not
be injured, sent her little son, boy of eight
or nine years, to drive the cattle away be-
fore his father should reach them. Mr., Kelly

the band. The ball missed the cattle and

VINO hred on them, without however, doing
any damage, except wounding one of the
soidlers horses with an arrow
We have also been favored bv Major Eron
with perusal of several communications re
celyed by the Express yesterday morning.
from persons at Deep Greek and other noinfs
on the Central Overland Mail line, from which
we lear3 that on August 18th about two
hundred Indians came to the station at Exams
Canon, and demanded some powder and lead
OF the men in charge of the station. which
they refused to let them have. as a matter of
course. They then wanted some provisions
ana the men gave them two sacks of hour
ana some sugar and coffee. One of the men
lhen started out after the animals kent at
mat place, when the Indians told them that
he could not go, and that they would take
care OF the animals themselves, and cvmn,en-
ced singing aud hallooing at a great rate
AT That Instant, Lieut.. Weed with twenty
hVe soldiers came up and attacked the In
dlans, who returned the fire woundinr three
men, including Corporal Mitchell, who #
was thought, would recover, but the other
two men were seriously injured, and their
recovery was considered doubtful The In
dlans fled without driving OFT any of The
stock. About the same time, six or eioht
Indians went to where some men were NOV.
ing, near Deep Creek and OF ordered them
away, but went off without moestng them
further. They came back next morning
when four soldiers, who had secreted them
selves in a wagon, fired on them. wonndino
two mortally. The Others fled. At about
o'clock on the morning of the 18th, the next
day after the attack on Egan's Canon, the
Indians made an attack on Shell Creek Sta
tion. The first intmation that the men had
OF the proximity of Indians was a shower of
balls lying about them. But fortunately no
one was killed or wounded. They instantly
took shelter in the house. There were two
parties OF Indians, one Cf WHICH surrounded
the house, crawling up as near as they could
without being seen, and kept up an incessant
nre Tor almost an hour without woundinp
any OF the men, but they had the mortihca-
ton OF seeing their stock driven off without
the means OF preventing it. Fortunately, in
about an hour after the attack was commen-
ced, Lieut.. Weed arrived with his command
from Ruby Valley, and attacked the Indians,
killing seventeen of them, and woundng
many others, and thus relieved the men from
their periIous position, The same day there
were four other Indians killed on Shell Creek
Canon, by three soldiers who came in from
Round Valley with the Western Express.

DESPERATE FIGHT.-At Penman's Ranch,
CAL, three hunters encountered a bear which
they wounded with six shots. The bear pur.
sued and caught one Of them, and while the 9TH
ers fled, the captured hunter had a hand to.
paw fight with the monster. Having nothing
but short dirk knife, he seized the bear by the
tongue and attempted to use the dirk, but the
blade bent on the bears ribs. Having dragged
the animals tongue through the corner of its
mouth the creature could use his paws only,
with which the man was terribly torn, his
scalp having been knocked of by the bears
claws. At length the exhausted hunter let 90
the tongue and the bear made OH, but was kill
ed next day, and weighed 600 pounds. The man
recovered.
