Il must be remembered that many OF these procure tenn

are however at least thousand who wander about the
city every day living upon whatever aims they receive
and sleeping the police stations or cheap lodging houses
where they can procure bed for six pence shilling

than themselves. The number Of these homeless and

From the report of the Superintendent Of Police for the
quarter ending January 81 1850 we find that the number
OF persons accommodated with lodgings in tho twenty six

nightly average of about 2l0 which is about one half Of

INDIAN OUTRAGEs-On Thursday of last
week, some fifty or sixty Indians attacked
the cabin of Mr.. Bartim, commonly called
"Old Red," in the Cottonwood country, and
continued their assault for several hours, un-
til they succeeded in firing it, and driving
out the inmates, three in number, viz: tOld
Red," Joseph Fusee and VIM. Luz. The
Indians commenced the attack in the morn
ing, by firing on VIM. Lux, who was the first
to go out of the cabin. 1t is supposed that
not less than twenty five rifles were discharg-
ed at him, and only one, fortunately for him,
took effect in his right shoulder, iniicting a
flesh wound, which was subsequently dress
ed by DR.. Sewell, of Horsetown. 1t appears
extraordinary how the parties named escaped
with their lives, so persistent was the attack
made by the Indians. In the fight three of
the Indians were killed, and the white men
succeeded in making good their escape to
Arbuckle, where they received protection.
A company of twenty men is at present in
pursuit of the miscreants, whom it is hoped
they will find and punish in the most sum-
mary manner.

The Vote In This County.

All the nominees of the Union Democracy
of this county have been elected with very
large majorities, and an excellent class of
officers secured for the ensuing two years.
The vote was not as full as that cast last
fall, arising, in all probability, from the
fact that our State election comes of some
two months earlier than the one had for
President. The grand result has however
justified our calculations, and demonstrated
what all, except the most blind and embit-
tered, were prepared to admit as foregone
conclusion. The absorbing questions of
economy, and efficiency were thoroughly
canvassed. and the unbiased Judgment of as
intelligent and As discriminate class of men
as are to be found anywhere, have declared
in our favor. The identity of aim between
the parties is complete. and we to-day can
boast of having secured, by a majority that
might plainly be termed tremendous, vic
tory that will long be remembered with
pride. Amongst our opponents are some of
the most adroit of politicians, and managers
of segacity, but the principle involved in the
contest was too acceptible to
'6e sacFihced blythe people. The lof.ysa.at-
riotism of the people has been fully tested
and their verdict will be as endurable as a
monument of marble. All honor then. we
say, to the people of Shasta county They
have nobly done their duty, and sustained
the high reputation earned on many hard
fought field. To be the banner county of
California, is no small honor, but an adher-
ence to principle, love of our Government
and institutions, and all that pertains to the
inestimable rights of citizenship, peace,
prosperity, and protection in our legitimate
pursuits, in our estimation traascends all
other considerations.

MURDER BY INDIANs.-On Sunday last,
Mr.. Mccarthy, worthy and inoffensive cit
izen, engaged in the business of teaming,
was murdered on the road between Red Bluff
and Shingletown. The Indians attacked
him beside his wagon, and run him full half
mile. They pierced his body with innu
,ershle> arrows and consummated The
hellish purpose by shooting him through ii |,
head with rifle. 1t is supposed the lndians
were very numerous. as all the shots were
found in the back of the deceased. After
life was extinct, they dragged him full one
hundred yards, and stripped him of all wear
ing apparel. Mr.. Mccarthy owned the team
and was married man, leaving wife and
two children. The body was found and in

and contest with Mace, the present cham
pion of England, the right to that dignity.
Mace recently gained an easy victory over
the loutish, gawkish Hurst, and as a matter
of course has to defend his title to the same.
What is singular in this matter, after the ex-
perience OF Heenan in England is, that
Mace is eager for the contest, and Heenan
comes up to the full expectations of his ad-
mirers. Our opinion is that no fight will
take place between the parties, as some OBJ
stacle will be presented that will negative
the effort.
