CAMrToNvILLE. May 10th.
EDITOR DEMOCRAT There is nothing new
going on in Camptonvile mining has been
at a stand still during this entire season, the
miners having become tired of trying to sat
isfy the cormorant appetite of the water com
panies prefering to save their ground un-
til some future time, rather than pay all they
get out for the necessary element
The report of the killing of Winnemucka
is doubtless incorrect, for on one of these re-
cent snowy nights he slept at John Sterrett's
cabin, and informed Sterrett that there would
be war, and endeavored to pursunde him to
get his companions together and 90 back
again to California, saying that his band was
powerless as compared to the balance of the
tribe assisted as they would be by the other
tribes OF the great basin, including the Pit
River Shoshonies and Snake Indians. He
also said they had commanded him to with
draw from the neighborhood of the white
settlements, aud the probability is that he
did so, and has not been killed, rs the report
n few days ago would lead US TO believe.
Two of our citizens have responded to the
call, add gone over to join the Downieville
company and presume some others will 90
over in day or two.
A purse of SIX hundred dollars was raised
last night at San Juan, and this morning n

was, doubtless. beneficial, for all had be

the crew frequently saw them picking off
the crawlers.
The next place of stoppage was La Vento-
so, on the Gulf of Tehauntepec.
From La Nentosa the colonists proceeded
to Tiger Island, their general rendezvos in
the Gulf of Fonsecn. Thence they made ex
cursions 10 all the isla ds in the neighborhood

driving their stock in this direction. There
is consequently no feed for animals on the

delay the train for some days.

COL LANDERs ExpEDIrloN.-Th Sacra-

Col. Fred. W. Lander, Superintendent of
the United States Overland Wagon Road
arrived in this city yesterday morning, and
Is usily engaged in making his arrangements
tor the organization of his expedition for the
present season-under his instructions to eX
plore and map the country including the
desert, between Honey Lake Valley and the
Bend Of the Humboldt river. This, we un-
derstand, completes the exploring ana map
ping OF the country in some cases over two
hundred miles in BREADTH made by Colonel
Lander and his assistants, from the Missouri
river to the eastern base of the Sierra Ne
vada. We learn that he will also complete
the wagon road between those points. hv
reno ling all obstacles to travel and bv build
ing tanks for the supply of water to the en-
lgrtion on the desert The Indlans huving
broken out into hostilities over this whole
section of country, Col. l. deems it expe,h-
ent to expose his small exploring parties,
often consisting of less than half dozen.
during the earlier part of the season. Col.
l. does not propose to let the work out i'm
nediatey-much being left to his Judgment
aud discretion in these important matters by
the Department. He proposes to increase
the size of his present party 10y taking such
men of last years expedition as are known
to be efficient and reliable, and with a force
numbering about forty men, will move out
to the Humboldt and ascertain all the facts
in relation to the Indian hostilities, under
his f"rmes instructions (never revoked) and
appointment of Special Agent to the tribes
along the line of the emigrant road. g His
party will, no doubt, encounter great risk
and difficulty, and is very small for the SER
vice to be undertaken.
Col Lander. we understand, intends pur-
suing the northern or Feather river route, by
way of Big Meadows and Mobiles Pass to

for wagons He is induced to take this route
