Cor. LANDERs ExpEDToN.-Ned Knight,
writing to the Bee, from the summit of the
Sierra Nevada, under date of June 4th,
says:
Our party has been encamped on the sum-
nit of the Sierra Nevada mountains for three
days, within some sixteen miles of Humbug
Valley. The snow is so deep that it is neces'
sary to shovel it from the trail, in order to
proceed with the wagons. Col. Lander Is
having sleds made for the transportation OF
our freight and baggage after we shall pass
the Cold Spring House. Travellers who have
passed us givea terrible account of the depth
of snow, and state that the Indians have made
an attack upon the settlement at Honey Lake,
burning several houses, and spreading pam
ic among the citizens, who have built lort
at Susanvile. Another report states that
400 volunteers and 200 regulars, with three
mountain howitzers. have left Virginia City
to attack the Indians who have fortified
themselves at Pyramid Lake If this is true
we may expect to meet fugitive parties OF the
Indians on our route through Honey Lake
valley, Thirty of our party are well noun
ted, armed with Sharp's rifles and dragoon
pistols, and VIII be hard nut for the Indians
TO crack.
Col Lander has sent on an express to the
settlers of Honey Lake, stating that If they
need the assistance of his company, in case
of an attack by the Indians, we will be there
So you need not be surprised to hear of our
having a brush at any moment We are pre-
pairing to strike our tents and move over to
Cold Spring House.

Queen Ca,harinc and Miss Davenport.

a writer who signs himself Potemkin,
says in the San Francisco Call:
"On Monday night Mis- Davenport repre-
sented Catherine in purer majesty than she Is
represented by history, and in more fasci-
mating physique than that Of which the ty-
rant Peter was so jealous
The "tyrant Peter" was not very prodi-
giously jealous, but, as a French author, CO.
temporary with Catharine, says, preferred
his bottle, his soldiers and his mistress to his
lovely wife" lie neglected the fascinating
Catharine for the Countess Varontzof, fat,
ugly and vulgar woman, who sworo like a
trooper and spat when she talked Besides,
Catharine was not very long troubled with
him or his tyranny, such as it is. No sooner
had he reached the throne than she conspired
with several leading mobiles and the regiments
of the royal garrison to remove him from his
office. By sudden movement, he was placed
in the power of the conspiracy, and awed
into an abdication Of his throne in favor OF
Catharine. She took the reius in her own
hands, and, not long after poor Peter, who
was still under arrest, died of collie, as was
given out, but was III reality strangled by
the conspirators OF Catharue.
As for the majesty of Catharine, her bear
ing was most queenly, inspiring admiration
mingled with awe. She was one born to
command. She was also majestic in the at
tributes of her intellect, being in many re-
spects one ofthe greatest sovereigns of the
world. As to the majesty of her moral char
acter, that was marred, as Voltaire, or some
Que else says, by a love for the opposite SEX
which degenerated into the grossest licen-
tiousness; to say nothing Of that peculiar
turn of mind which would induce her, if not
to plan the murder of her husband, at least
to reward his murderers-although she had
some excuse in the fact that Peter intended
to repudate her as his wife But she pos
sessed many noble and generous traits While
she outraged all christeudom 10y the open
manner in which she domiciled her male ia
vorites in her palace giving them titles and
degrees, and setting them higher than the
suprcmest mobiles and dignitaries Of the land,
she was yet ameliorating the condition of the
lower classes Of her subjects, patronizng
literature, and doing much that was both
honorable to her head and heart She was,
in facta strange mixture of greatness and
weakness, ofvice and virtue, of grossness and
refinement. And while she was more dis
tinguished for her li3entiousness than any
woman since the days of Messalina she was
yet widely renowned for devotion to friend
ship, love Of her country, forgiveness of
injury, and charitableness of disposition sell
dom excelled by the chastest of women.
We are not making these remarks by way
of dsagreeing with Potemkin, or criticizing
him, but rather of qualifying such things as
he would have qualified, and anpliying
where he would have amplifed, had he ex-
tended his observations.
Our readers will probably soon have an
of seeing Miss Davenport in the
character of Queen Catherine, and of judging
whether she make Catherine like the WON
lerful one of history or not.

SMASH uP.-About 5 o'clock P NJ, yester-
day, as Mr.. Geo. B. Seeley and Mr.. Jacob
Kicker were driving down d street, one OF
the bolts which fasten the pole to the axle Of
the buggy, gave way, and the horses becom-
ing frightened rushed furionsly down the
street When opposite the theater, Kicker
jumped out, but Seely, who was driving,
kept his seat till they reached the California
Stage Companys office, where the buggy
capsized and was drawn bottom up to Gla-
1er's Corner, and there left in a sadly mutil-
ated condition. Seeley was somewhat
bruised, but not seriously injured Kicker
was not hurt. After becoming detached
from the buggy. the horses made their way
around the block to Ricker's stable. where
they were secured.

GREAT interest is excited in France by the
discovery of solid green. Various expert
ments have been tried with it in coloring
silks, cottons and woolens, and the result is
said to be perfect success, as the color pro-
duced neither changes nor fades with wear.
The importance of this discovery to the trade
will be perceived when it is known that
Chinese green, the only dye hitherto en-
poyed, is sold at about $50 per kilogramme.
while the new green can be sold at Sl2, and
with good profit to the manufacturer.
