MORE TRouBLEs WITH THE INDIANS.
The Weatherford News says -

MORE TROUBLES WITH THE INDIANS.
The Weatherford News says =
Mr.. Britton, just down from Belk-
nap, informs Us that on last Friday
morning u party of Indians came
into the Post at Bclknap in pursuit
of Mr.. Murphy's horses, but did not
succeed in getting off with any, as
the people rallied from the town
near by and prevented them.
The next night they were seen
at the residence Of Mr.. Jas. Ander-
son, two miles this side Belknap I;
Mrs. Anderson took down the gun
to shoot them, but not properly un-
derstauding double triggers she
failed to secure her game before
they fed.
The same paper says
We have just received the infor-
nation that man by the name of
Cross was killed by the Indians
some go miles West Of this place
few days since.
A DELICATE OpERArIoN.-One
Of the most delicate msnipulations in
engineering is about to be performed
in connection with the lowering Of
the west supply pipe Of the Croton
Aqueduct, which runs through
Eighth avenue. This pipe is 30 in.
ches 10 diameter. It is to be lowered
to a depth Of ton feet below its pres
ent position, without the water being
stopped. In the upper part of the
avenue, the work has already com.
menced. The earth is being excava-
ted from over and under the pipe,
aud props are to be introduced until
the whole excavation of II mile shall
have been completed. Then IL will
be lowered 10 its bed gradually, so as
to prevent the curve at any part Of
the pipe from breaking. 1t appears
that the water cannot be shut of
from the pipe; owing to the fact that
large portion of the western district
Of the city is dependent on it for sup
ply. If the pipe should break in the
course Of the operation, the disaster
would be terrible in its effect upon the
adjacent property, while the supply
would be cut off most effectually.-

pROCREss on SECESSION.

The Pony, with dates from st. Louis to
November 18th, arrived at Carson city
Thursdey afternoon. The secession excite
ment Continues in the South, accompanied
with general depression Of trade. There
has been general decline 10 stocks through
out the whole country, and perfect de-
rangement OF the monetary affairs oil the
South. In Baltimore, there had been two
or three failures, and many manufacturing
establishments had reduced the number OF
their hands, which is severely felt among
the working classes. The very latest dis
patch, however, Gays "the panic is no
worse." and ''money matters in Baltimore
are easy" The Baptist church OF Alaba-
ma held State convention at Montgomery,
November 14th, and unanimously resolved
to favor disuniOn. They sent their resolu-
tions to the Governor of Georgia. Nu-
merous meetings had been held In the cot
ton States, and resolutions not to submit to
the election of Lincoln unanimously adop-
ted. AT secession meeting held Nov. IA,
at Milledgcville, Ga, Senator Toombs urged
a Southern confederacy, with sovereignty
In Federal power--all State lines to be
obliterated. Enthusiastic Union meetings
continue to be held in Kentucky, and in
that State the feeling seems to be unani-
nous to adhere to the Union. A letter from
strong cotton house in Charleston, re-
ceived at Washington, Nov. 18th, says:
"Therc is really no unanimity for secession.
Even in South Carolina, business men, arti-
sans, merchants, and all professional classes,
are decidedly opposed to dsunion:"
State conventions are to be held in South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Mississip-
pi, and the real sentiments Of the people Of
those States will be decided when they come
to vote for delegates. Appearances indi-
cate bitter and exciting contest between
the Union men and secessionists, and it is
not improbable that the secessionists will be
defeated in every State except South Caro-
lima. Should they decide in favor of seces-
sion, however, they will doubtless manage
in some way to get out of the Union, if they
can agree among themselves upon prac-
tlcable plan.

LAUNcHED.-On Thursday of last week
sloop of twenty-five tuns measurement,
owned and bnilt by Mr.. Baldwin 4 Son, was
launched at Petaluma The frame Of this
vessel, it will be remembered, was got out
at North San Juan, in this county, and
transported to Petaluma, where it was put
together. She has been christened the FL
sic J. Cline, and will be employed in the
trade between San Francisco and Petaluma

new vessels, either of which will be much
larger than the one above named, are about

The EARTHouAKE IN IlUMBoLDr.-ln rela-
ton to the earthquake felt at Eureka,
Humboldt county, on the afternoon of Nov.
18th, the Times, published at that place,
says:
1t was preceded by rumbling sound,
and its direction seemed to be from the
westward. The shock was short, occupying
but few seconds. 1t was sufficiently heavy
to move the firmest buildings so as to effect
or displace loose articles in them, and to
cause trees to sway to and fro. A frame
Of building in course Of construction in
this place was moved on its foundotion,
from west TO east, about two inches. Some
plastered walls were also cracked and
chimneys settled. DR.. Hume had two large
show bottles and several small vessels bro
ken in his drug store. No damage worth
mentioning, however, was done.

NEWSPAPER STATIsTIcs.-An exchange
says that there are about three hundred
daily papers at the present time published
in the United States Five hundred and
seven thousand copies is estimated as the
regular circulation of the daily press, or
lS4,0s0, 900 copies per annum. There are
also about two thousand FIVE hundred tri-
weeklies, semi-wecklies, and wecklies, which
would probably make the number of news
papers annually distributed throughout the
United States amount to 4l2, 100000.

short distance below the mouth of Mill
creek. The Yreka Journal, in noticing the
discovery, says;
The lode is about twelve inches wide and
the rock is in partial decomposed state.
Over three hundred ounces were pounded
out if q hand morter in four days. So far
about one twentieth part Of the lode is gold.
We were shown, a day or two ago, by c.
W. Prindle, ten or twelve pounds of the
rock, every particle Of which was thickly
spaBgled with gold. The lode is much
richer and more decomposed, than any we
have ever seen from the Ish lead, near
Jacksonville.
