very ashes of the most dilapidated constituions--

INDIANS IN HUMBLDT.-The United States
mail carrier on his way from Arcata to Wea-
verville, and when about eight miles beyond
Burnt Ranch, was confronted by party of In
dians who commenced firing arrows at him.
They fell so thickly around him as to seem a
perfect shower He Immediately turned his
mule and fled but his backward course being
up steep mountain, the mule soon gave out
He then jumped off, and being fresh, he easily
outstripped his pursuers. The mule being
relieved of his load, escaped, with slight
wound from an arrow, bringing the mail back
safely to Burnt Ranch. The mail carrier pro-
cured assistance and went through with the
mail. Major Underwood, of Hoopa, has now
furnished the carrier an escort, without which
the mail could never be carried at all.-Hum-

A SHOOTING ScRAPE-A harmless shooting
scrape occurred on Thursday last, at the cor
ner of Myers and Montgomery streets, in which
Peter Wolf was shot at three times, by one
Pat. Leonard. The first shot passed through
the rim of Wolf's hat, who then took advan-
tage of an entrenchment," consisting of the
corner of Curleys Cigar Store, and shielded
himself from the other two shots. Sheriff
Middleton and the bystanders interfered and
prevented collision of the two parties. In
this connection we suggest that if men are 60
ing to set themselves up for targets, they had
better seek some retired spot where they will
not endanger the lives of passers by.

NORTHERN DISTRICT FAIR.-The District
Fair will commence at Marysville on Monday
next, and continue one week. Extensive ar
rangements have been made for the accOmmo-

the Fair. And it is hoped there will be q
general attendance, and an active cooperation Of
agriculturalists and stock raisers, in making
the present Fair superior to any one held
heretofore We shall expect to hear that
Butte county has rendered good account of
herself, and borne off many valuable premiums

DESTINATION OF THE 5000 VoLUNTEERs.-It
is now definitely settled that the five regiments
ordered out by the President to be placed
under the command of Gen. Sumner, are to go
to Texas, via Arizona. The command, if
raised in season. will start in November or
thereabouts, and will probably winter in the
Valley of the Rio Grand,'at or near Mesilla or
Ell Paso, and proceed towards San Antonio,
after the roads become settled in the spring.
This would make the trip comparatively pleas
ant for the men, and would compel Texas to
turn her attention to her own borders, instead
of sending assistance to the Confederates at
the North s. F. Journal.

BRECKINRIDGE FURIoUs-Ihe Mozart Hall
Democratic Central Committee recently invi-
ted Senator Breckenridge to visit New York,
but recanted on hearing of the indignation ex-
pressed toward him in Baltimore and so tele-
graphed to their Committe, who, however
failed to receive the dispatch until after they
had delivered the message. They, however,
obeyed orders, and performed the delicate duty
of countermanding the invitation as gracefully
as possible. A correspondent of the Phila-
adelphia Ledger, who reports this, says:
The Kentucky Senator charged the Com
mittee with deliberately insulting him, and de-
nounced the New York Democracy as no bet
ter than Black epublicans-wh for the
city itself he declared a terrible retribution
was in store for it when the people whom she
had robbed for so many years would have
Their armies occupying their marble palaces,
and TIER flag floating over her City Hall and
Merchants Exchange. Vallandiugham was
present all the while, looking unutterabe
things" The Committee took the lecture in
silence, but left the room before it was conclu-
ded.

Cold BLooDED MuRDER-A murder was
committed at Dogtown, this county, on We'd
nesday last, by man named Jacob G. Greer,
while under the influence of liquor. 1t ap-
pears that Greer was following a man by the
name of Dutch Fred, insisting on having
a fight with him, and had pressed him so far
that he Dutch Fred slipped into a Cheap
John store and picked up pick handle with
which to defend himself Greer then drew a
butcher knife and struck him on the left side,
little below the heart, inficting ghastly
and mortal wound, from which he died in about
six hours. Greer was arrested, examined by
Justice Kinson and sent up to await the ac-
tion of the Grand Jury. He was brought to
Oroville on Thursday by Deputy Sheriff Grid
ley and lodged in jail. Whisky is the alleged
cause of the melancholy tragedy.

FOWLER S DIGGINGs is the name of a new
mining camp discovered, and is located about
seven miles from La Porte, and five miles from
Little Grass Valley. Quite stampede was
made for Fowlers last week, says the Msssen-
ger, and great many claims, in fact all that
were supposed to be worth anything, were
taken up. Water will be brought in by spring
and then the gravel will be prospected In the
meantime, we would advise our friends at a
distance, not to rush mady to Fowlers dig
gings, as they may prove a -" sell ard fur
thermore, if the diggiDgs are good,as some per
sons suppose they are, chances to get claims
cheap will be numerous next season.

without dilly ly-dallying along month after month,

HE FRENCH SENTIMENTAL gentleman
who has recently returned to this country from
Paris, states that the excitement there in re.
gard to American affairs is, if possible, great.
er than in this country; and The current of
popular feeling is so strongly in favor of the
Union cause in our great struggle that it is
far more dangerous to publicly advocate seces-
sion there than in Philadelphia. He was re-
peatedly asked, in tones of the deepest anxiety,
" Can it be dossible that your noble expert
menl OF free government is about to prove a
failure with the remark that millions of
trenchmen would regard such sad result al
most as personal calamity, because they have
% always .s looked forward hopefully to a period
not themselves, might share our freedom and
prosperity" The most unpopular thing Iouis

APoLEcErIc.-Thc political campaign has
absorbed so much Of our time and attention
during the past few weeks, that our columns
have not contained the usual amount of gen
eral and local news matter. But since the
great battle has been fought, and we are ena-
bled to say to our readers that secession stands
appalled, at its own weakness we shall endeavor
TO make the RECORD a readable institution,
