ARRIVAL OF THE ANDERsoN.-The steamer
Anderson arrived yesterday from Victoria
and way ports. She encountered some un-
usual heavy weather during the trip.
We are indebted to Capt. FLEMING for
late papers. From the CoLOnist we make
the following extracts:
The "ALERT"-H. B. M. S. Alert re-
turned from the Northwest Coast on Mon
day. She has been as far north as the
Russian Possessions. The Indians express
ed themselves as friendly towards the
whites
SILVER MINING CoMPANY.-We learn that
q company Of capitalists is forming in this
city, to be called the Greenwood Silver
Mining Company. The stock is divided
into las shares; and it is the intention Of
the stockholders to push forward the work
Immediately.
ANOTHER SILVER VEIN.-Capt. Jeffray,
Of the Express, informs us that very rich
silver lead has been struck at Seaton Lake,
on the Lilooet'T Trail The ore is said to

Cayoosh concerning the discovery.
The bark Glympsc has arrived safely at
San Francisco, apparently none the worse
for the hard knocks she sustained on the
rocks at Clover Point last spring.
DEsTITUTIoN AND DEATH-A sad case of
destitution and death came to our notice
yesterday. About a week ago, a colored
man, native of Mexico, came to the hut
Of a Mexican residing near Harris Co..
old slaughter-house, and saying he was
sick, asked for shelter. The Mexican al
lowed him to lie upon the floor, and about
FIVE days after the poor man died. After
his death, bis host being called away on
business for day, locked up the house,
and on bis return found that the rats had
eaten the nose aud portion of the face Of
the corpse during his absence Informa-
tion was brought to Coroner Dickson, who,
upon making inquiry, found that deceased
had been ailing from consumption for some
time before applying to the Mexican, and
was without food or roof to sleep under.
The Coroner deemed it unnecessary to hold
an 'inquest, and the body was inferred by
his order on Saturday. The name Of the
deceased is unknown.

THE WAR IN CHINA.-A letter from a
distinguished source, just received at Wash
ington, says that the Chinese will not yield
to the French and English forces without
desperate struggle, They are represent
ed as being but poorly supplied With means
to resist the European enemy, their small
weapons being, for the most part, match
locks and bows and arrows. That the
Allies will reach Pekin there can be no
doubt The success which awaits them,
together with the progress of the rebels,
Justihes the writer in the startling an
nouncement that the Chinese Empire is on
the eve of dissolution 1t does not appear
that our public functionaries in that part
Of the world are acting in pursuance of any
special instructions, while it is stated that
the Russian Ambassador had had, an inter
view with our own, and both we're ON the
most friendly terms.

B%Mr. BYRON N. DAWES, in charge of
the Umatilla Reservation, writes to the
MoaHtaiHeer, under date of Oct. Sd, 1860,
that two brothers, named Keith, who we're

Of which We published last week, arrived
at that place on the I'd inst, and reports
that large number Of immigrants had

HEAVY THUNDER AND LIGHrNrNG.-On
Monday night last we were visited with q
rain storm Of unusual severity, accompa-
MED with very heavy thunder and light
ming. The flashes of lightning were ex'
ceedingly bright and almost incessant.-
We believe It extended all over the coun-
try, as we hear of the occurrance in every
direction, although doing no damage but
in one instance The house Of Mr.. CYREL
WARD, Of Miami Prairie, in this county,
was struck, pratially stunning Mr.. and
Mrs. WARD The current struck the chin
ney on the north side OF the residence, fol-
lowing it to within three feet of the ground,
where it separated into two Branches
One Of them, attracted by a steel shovel,
branched of to the east part Of the build
ing and entered the ground, killing a kit
ten and shattering some plank in its pas
sage. This current passed within very
short distance Of the bed occupied by Mr..
and Mrs WARD. The other branch followed
to the western side and entered the ground,
breaking mirror in its progress. Another
current is supposed to have been attracted
by the pipe Of stove, standing in close
proximity to the eastern side Of the build
ing, and following it struck the floor, max.
ing large aperuture through it. Both
currents probably struck at the same time.

CAPsIzED.-The little sloOp Sylp6 and a
large sail boat were both capsized by a
heavy gust of wind on Thursday, while try
ing their sailing qualities on the bay. No
damage except good wetting to two OF
three on board, who were soon rescued by
other boats.

DS~ We advise all who are in want Of
any thing in the Saddle or Harness line, to
give our friend KELLErT, on Main street, a

occupied by VIM. Wright able and willing
to supply all wants.

Doubtless the Government will now see
when it is too late, the necessity for the
Military Post at Fort Boisse; which has
not even been commenced yet, although we
have reason to believe an appropriation
was made by Congress some time since for
that purpose.
There are little grounds for believing that
Expeditions merely, will suffice to reduce
these maraudng saVages and to keep them
in subsection. Until that country is per-
manently occupied by the troops and every
murderer properly punished, there can be
no security from their continued outbreaks.
The season is too far advanced to commence
operations on a large scale; however, all
that can possibly be done at present will
no doubt be effected by Col. Wright and
the troops under his command, and we
hope that the present expedition will short
y be able to give a good account on its re-
turn.
Since the above was "set up" we have
received further and more reliable advces
from the scene of the late massacre in the
Snake country; representing that affair in
much more favorable light than at first
reported. From the last account we gath
er that but ten we're killed by the Indians;
six men, three women and one child.
1t is believed that the man Schrieder who
brought in the first account of the massa-
ere, did not stop to count the number of
killed, but left as fast as a good horse could
carry him.
The remainder of the emigrauts are max
ing their way in, but slowly, as they have
lost their train and animals
The Indians having accomplished their
object, the possession of the train, showed
no disposition to molest the remainder of
the party, but made off at once with their
booty.
The hostile disposition of the Snake
tribe, as shown in the events that have
transpired in their country within the last
few months, demonstrate the necessity of
establishing Military Posts in that portion
of Oregon. That this is a necessity we'll
known to the war department, is evident
from the fact, that last year orders were
issued directing fort to be established at
or near Fort Boisse, which would place a
large portion Of the emigrant road passing
through the Snake country under the super
vision Of the troops.
The necessity for this fort is now more
apparent than at the time that order was
issued, and we hope the war department
will issue the proper orders to that effect
at once, and that they will be carried into
immediate execution.
With Military stations in this country,
one near the "camas grounds" and one
near the Fisheries" these Indians must in
a short time, be forced to submit or starve
Their mountain Businesses will not then
avail them in avoiding punishment for their
misdeeds, the whole force of the Military,
can be promptly brought to bear on them,
and they must sue for peace or be driven
from their country Vancouver Chronicle
