4 ,.tou from letter written by II. G. Allen, liv-
- Uyampom situated in the extreme south
Dan norton of Trinity county. The letter is
saaressed to J. p. Jones, Esq, of Weaverville,
& and was handed us for publication
..The Indians came in on the 22d ut. and
,;,od an OK belonging to Mr.. Clifford, and two
Nnrs belonging in the valley We suspicioned
,%ey OS we're killing stock from the fact of missing
mo boos tried to trail them, but it stormed so

snT 1"r Mr. Clifford and Mr. Comasky went to look

rore o missing, and discovered where the Indians
Tod run number of them off. They returned
and rave the alarm, and to day we followed until
o Got their course to morrow we are gong to

no more trouble now with them than ever hereto-
fore. You know the trouble and losses they have
hod in Humboldt, and | am in fear that Trinity
countv will suffer in the same way. hope some
tbnc may be done to protect the citizens of this
nortion of the county from their depredations."
Since the above was written we learn from Mr..
Clifford that on Tuesday the party who went in
search of the catte-stealing Diggers, overlook
and surrounded them, and that Hank Young, one
Of the attacking party, was shot. We could not
hear whether Young was dangerously wounded,
or whether any Indians were killed.

<,onsoyed in the old Motherwell claim, (the same
IN which Mr. Motherwel was killed last year,
Syere caught by falling bank. Craven was Sc
yiousy injured. bat Scott escaped without much
damage.
From New R1vER-We received too late for
East weeks issue, the following letter from a
miner on Pony Creek.
GAS have had many inquiries from different
sec tions of the county in relation to these mines,
and the best time to come here, allow me to i'm
part the information through the JOURNAL. Min
trs have done bIt little on this stream for the
past two months, on account OF deep SHOWS. All
have fine prospects for the coming mining season
in fact, as good as they could wish.
Fred. Smith & Co. haye finished a fine fiume TO
one of the large bars on this creek, which will
nav SO and SO day. DR.. Barclays company
make about the same when they work. Several
claims that | hear of-among which are Fred.
Coffin's-pay SIS and 81 a day This will be
lively place next summer, but L would advise
persons who have not already located claims to-
stay away anlR the first Of April. Provisions
are none too plenty now, aud there will be none
brought in before that time. Your old friend,
Uncle Billy" Kirkham, has kept us constantly
supplied with beef, sometimes driving the cattle
over five feet of snow
We have a weekly express between this place
and Burnt Ranch, where it connects with the
Humboldt mail. Mr.. Hudson, most persevering
and faithful young man. is the proprietor. lie
has had much trouble in getting his papers, late
ly, owing tc the irFegsiavity Of the humboldt
mail. AS soon as the roads are good he will run
direct to Weaverville."
RUSH CREEK-Last Monday Patrick McQuig-
gin entered complaint before Justice MolOney
against John Taylor and Andy Mccoy, for as
sault. The offense was committed at Quine's new

learn, nobody much hurt Mccoy, one of
the parties complained of, seems to have got the
worst of it,
Man INJURED-A German, whose name we
have not been able to learn, had an ankle diso-
Gated by a caving bank in Baker & Sutherlin's
claim, West Weaver, on Thursday. His injuries
are not serious.
CANoN CITY, March 4, 1861.
DEAR JOURNAL This day will long be remem-
bered by Americans. The outgoing of Buchanan
and incoming of Abraham Lincoln takes place
l., tb,1 lat rnn1yn
worse President than Buchanan has? | think
not, and so do many who voted against Lincoln
last year flag near by has been at half mast
all day. What can it mean?
There has been two or three enthusiastic pugil~
istic displays up here lately. No one seriously
damaged, although in one case the prospect for
q funeral was good for some time.
The extensive claim Of Leroy Fakes, in what
is known as the East Fork Hills yields about $25
a dav, to the man. Fakes is one of the best
practical miners on the Creek has lived here
nine years, and was never known to be in town
but twice My poetical friend, Miner" alias
W., tries to have people believe that his claim is
not good one but it won't do. The claim pays
all that has been reported. Mr.. Kiser, after many
months of hard labor and az outlay of $1,000 or
$4,000, has succeeded in reaching the back chan
mel, and is getting from $25 to $40 day, and
the prospects are good that the claim will prove
extensive Mr. K is one of the best and most
energetic miners on the Creek. The India Rub
Der claim, on Fisher Bar, which has paid as high
as one hundred dollars per day, is yielding we'll.
Stanton & Holm are working the old Fisher
ciam and getting good pay-have not been able
TO find out how much-but am satisfied they ere
doing we'll.
The town is lively, and business brisk. Mr.
Guthrie will soon have his saw-mili in running
ORDER when we expect to get lumber at II more
reasonable price. CHITNANGo.
FREE BRIDGE.--Louis Raab informs US that be
contemplates building free Bridge over the
Trinity at his trading post, this summer. Resi-
dents have already signiied their willingness to
contribute $1,000 towards its construction and
MIR. Raab thinks there will be no difficulty in
raising the balance required.
INDIAN CREEK.-Ichabod j. @. A. w. Barnum,
writes from that place.
"There was great excitement here last Sunday.
Information was received that Panwauket Gulch
had seeded, and that the residents we're coming
