CALIFORNIA INDIANs.-The Indians of Cali
fornia are rapidly passing away-slain by dis
ease the rifle, and the rum of the pale faces
OF the sixty thousand Indians who inhabited
California twelve years ago. not ten thousand
perhaps not five thousand, remain. Ten years
hence probably not a thousand will be in ex-
istence. During the year 1859 there were
three Indian wars in the State-one in the
valley of the Molave, one in the valley of Pitt
river, and one the valley of Eel river
These three, says San Francisco paper, "cost
the red men not less than several thousand
lives, exclusive OF those slain in casual en-
counters III other parts of the State" The
origin OF these wars is but n repetition of the
Old story, written in Indian blood across the
entire continent. The white man encroached
on the reserves of the Indian, driving off the
game which gave him subsistence: and in re-
turn, the latter stole the stock and other uro-
perty OF the former. Retaliation followed
then extermination, and, what the rifle spared
intoxicating liquor decimates and soon the
land that once swarmed with red men will
know them "no more forever member of
the Legislature has introduced a bill proyid.
ing that those Indians who are captured from
time to time may be domesticated by being in
dentured to farmers and others who may be
disposed to take them. This measure is pro-
posed as an ameloration to the condition Of
the Indians.

Narrow Escape from Death--Ttpo Men In Jsred
Yesterday about II o'clock, whilst number
OF workmen were engaged in setting girderi
in the new locomotive chop now being bull
at the Tredsear Works, an accident curred
which came nigh costing two Of them theiI
iVes. The girders, about forty feet long and
very heavy, had been placed upon the walls
ahcnf twenty feet high, and Mr. LEWIS Il
lhoMPsoN, carpenter, aud Mr.. GUIDO WEISS
were upon one of them TO leyeIit The end G,
me gird was raised on pSpps. to enable them
70 NIX the leveiing blocks, and when they were
about the centre of the timber, the props CAV
way, and the east end Of the grid fell 20 the
ground with great force, carrying the two ends
with il.
Mr. Thompson, besides being knocked insen
si0le by the fall, received a terrible cut in one
OF his thighs, probably by falling on a large
spike, a slight Gu, on his throat Just under his
chin, and innnmerable bruises about his head
and person. AT a late hour Yesterday after.
noon, be had not returned to consciousness
ana his physician was unable to SAY what
were the extent of his injuries. Mr. Weiss
was badly bruised in several places, an seem.
cd to be suffering very much, though he was
not thought to be seriously injured. Another
one Of the workmen, who was standing on a
scantling near another girder, narrowly es.
cared. When the falling timber crushed the
piece on which he was supported, he seized the
girder Sbove him, and held to it un iii = ladder
could be brought, on which he desceE ded in
safety.
