IRoN IN WAsHoE.-Valuable and extensive
iron mines are said to have been discovered
about two miles north of Dayton, within 300
Yards of Carson river. The Territorial Enter
prise says: The ledge is about $50 feet in
width, and the ore has been tested and found to
be OF the best quality. Some specimens which
we have been shown are as fine as we have ever
seen, and, we should judge, contained from so
to 80 per cent. of iron. The ledge has been To-
Gated and company, called the Pacific Rail
Road Iron Company is being organized to
work it. From j. r. Sproul, who is directing
his energies to that object, we learn it is the de-
sign to erect smelling works and foundries as
soon as possible, and ultimately to erect ma
chine shops, rolling mills, etc. The presence
of unlimited water power and the ease with
which coal can be obtained from the neighbor-
ing beds, give great advantage to this enter
prise and render it quite feasible.

THAT "AFFRAY."-The Bulletin, of Tues
day, re-publishes from the Marysville Ex-
press, an account of an alleged affray which
was said to have taken place lately near
Freeman's Crossing, between the Deputy
Assessor and Deputy Tax Collector of this
county and some forty Cinnamon, in which
one of the latter was shot dead and several
wounded. We are informed Oh good au'
thority, that nothing has occurred in this
county out Of which such story could be
manufactured, aud the Assessor is at loss TO
imagine for what purpose it was originated
The Express was imposed upon by its cor
respondent, and has already made the cor
rection.

SUDDEN DEATH.-Mrs. Warren, the wife
of a junk dealer in San Francisco, was
found dead in her bed last Sunday morn
ing. According to the statement of her
husband be went to bed about ten O'Clock,
leaving his wife up eating sardines and
drinking lager. About three o'clock in
the morning be awoke, and to bis aston'sh-
meut found his wife lying dead by his'side.
The coroner was summoned, and on exam
ination, it was found that the woman had
received serious confusion on the head,
and there were other indications that she
had been violently injured. Her husband
has told several different stories about the
bruises, and an investigation was going on
at last accounts.
"A dispatch to Marysville paper re-
ceived since the above was in type, states
that Warren has been arrested, charged
with the murder.

INDIAN OUTBREAK on THE OVERLAND
RourE.-A Salt Lake dispatch, OF April 22d,
saws: "The Indians east Of here have been
committing depredations upon the Mail Com
panv for the last two months, until at the pres
ent time they have entire control of the route.
They have stolen nearly all the stock from the
burned one station. They threaten the entire
destruction Of the Overland Mail and Telegraph
The Mail Company have discontinued the runs
ming Of the mails for the present, and VIII not
attempt to run the route until troops are placed
along it to protect them. There is report that
8 men were killed by Indians yesterday, found
ed upon the fact that they we're seen in the po-
session of animals, clothing and arms belonging
to the party. There is report that there is
fight going on east of Fort Bridger, between the
employees and Indians. A dozen men from
Fort Bridger have gone to their assistance. 1t
is momentarily expected that the telegraph line
will be destroyed.

TRAGEDY AT WALLA-WALLA.-A terrible
tragedy took place at Walla-Walla on the eve
ming Of April llth, at the theater, between some
soldiers and citizens. The house was crowded,
it being a fireman's benefit. Some soldiers were
drunk and making loud noise, and Deputy
Sheriff Porter tried to make them stop, which
they refused to do, drawing their pistols and
daring any one to attempt to put them out.
Sheriff Porter took hold Of one Of them, when
they commenced shooting, which was immedi-
ateiy returned by the citizens. One soldier was
killed on the spot, and another died the next
morning. Sheriff Porter was badly wounded in
the leg, and another deputy shot in the thigh. A
man named Phillips was badly wounded, and
several others whose names We did not learn.
A good many ladies' were present, who were
helped out over the stage and out the back door.
Some thirty shots were fired, and some escaped
narrowly, having bullet holes through their hats
and clothes.

CONGRESSIONAL APPORTI0NMENT.-Som
time since, bill passed the Senate, divid-
ing the State into three Congressional dis
tricts, and providing for the election Of
Congressman 10 September next, at the
general election. This bill was not accept.
ible to tho Assembly, and that body adopt
ed a substitute on Tuesday last. The State
ought to be dstricted, as the people would
much prefer electing Congressman in that
manner; but the chances are that the two
houses will not be able to agree, and there
is danger Of the bill being defeated. 1t
seems that the Senate bill is considered ia
vorable to the Fusion Democracy, and the
Assembly substitute favorable to the Union
Fusionists; but 10 the present unsettled con-
dition of political affairs, the most astute
partisans may find themselves at fault 10
laying plans for the future, and they are
just as likely TO bit the mark by consenting
to fair division, as by attempting to gain
an advantage by Gerrymandering the State.
In any division that could be made the
Republicans, at the next election, would be
very likely to elect their candidate in the
San Francisco district, and the other two
districts would be sure to elect staunch I'm
ion men. But no one can foresee what po-
litIcal changes may be brought about in the
next two or three years, and politicians
may as we'll make good record now, and
let the future take care of itself.

THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL "a, 1862.
LIVE Powr.-Tbe bill which has been

LINE PoIT.-Tbe bill which has been
pending before the Legislature, to provide
for condemning Lime Point to public use,
for fort, was indefinitely postponed by the
Senate, on Tuesday. The fight between the
Monitor and Merrimac is considered to have
demonstrated that iron-clad batteries like
the Monitor are better than forts for harboT
defenses, and it is not probable the Govern
meut will ever again trouble the owners Of
Lime Point. That valuable point of rocks
can now be used as site for warehouses
aud surbuEban residences, for which 1t has
been proven SO well adapted, and the $780,
600 already appropriated to purchase the
site and commence the fort, can be devoted
to building an iron.clad batteIy. The New
York Post says vessel like the Monitor
will not cost over 100000.

THE CHARGES AGAINST GRANT.-The peo-
of this state have been not little perplex-
ed to learn what the charges were against
Gen. Grant, by which he was threatened
with removal soon after bis glorious victo-
ry at Fort DonelsOn. 1t seems, according
to late Eastern letters, that he is so addict
ed to the use of Intoxicating liquors as to
incapacitate him for business. One CORES
pondent charges that from the time Fort
Donelson was invested, until the surrender,
Grant was so intoxicated as to be incapa-
BILE of appreciaIiDg what was going on.
This is probably greatly exaggerated, but
there ip, no doubt, some truth in his report
ed Incorporate habits.

THE HENNEss RoUTE.-Mr. Alonzo Piatt
bas been writing series Of articles, to the
Virginia City Enterprise, on the advanta-
ges of the different mountain routes. OF
the Henness Pass, he says:
believe there is no mountain wagon road on
the Pacific coast that has as even grade as
this; It has mainly southern exposure, and IS
not subject to land or snow slides, and Is built
wide enough, that, with hardly an exception,
loaded wagons can pass each other without
difficulty. But this route and road has been
nm to this time Summer road; the snow belt
IL wide. and the road cannot be Travelled in
Winter, unless freight and passenger travel can
be diverted to the same from the present great
thoroughfare, the Placerville road. Last Sum-
mer and Fall stages and heavily loaded teams
commenced to use said road from Sacramento
Marysville and Nevada City, and believe 1t is
fact undisputed that over the road the same
time can be made with heavier loads, to Neva-
da Territory, than over the Placerville route
The road being the only one north OF Placer
vile, now practicable for wagons, through
from Nevada Territory to Nevada City, MaTys-
vile and Sacramento, the completion OF the
railroad to Lincoln, as well as the partial COM
pletion of the Auburn and Nevada Railroad
will give to it an advantage of freighting and
travel from Sacramento, Marysville and Neva.
da, that will, with increased accommodation on
the road, secure 1t a fair share of travel and
freiQhting next Winter, and, from the situa-
ton Of the country over which the road passes,
the same can be travelled in the Winter, and
kept thoroughly open with less than half Of the
travel and freighting that pass over the Pla-
cerville route. believe that the coming Sum
mer will show that the California Stage Com
pany will carry passengers from Virginia City
or Carson to Marysyille or Sacramento in the
same time that they can be taken to Sacra.
mento over the Placervlle route. Time viii

again say the more good roads, the better, anc
competition over these routes will not hurt the
people of Nevada Territory.

HOMICIDE IN ARIzoNA.-The Santa Fs
Gazette, Of Feb. 9Th, has the following 10
reference to the killing of Kelly, editor of
the Messilla Times, by Baylor, the rebel
leader, in Arizona:
BY letters from Fort Craig, this week, the
death of Kelly, the proprietor of the Messilla
Times, is announced. An article appeared in
that paper, in which Baylor, the rebel General,
was severely criticised and which gave Ofense
to Baylor. The latter demanded Of Kelly that
he should retract the offensive language, which
he refused to do, and said that he would again
refer to him in the Times. Thereupon, Baylor
drew his revolver and shot Kelly, instantly
killing him. These are the facts in the case as
related to US. Kelly was well known in New
Mexico, having for some time been engaged in
the public surveys of the Territory.

ARCHBISHOP HroHEs AND THE P0PRDoM.
The special correspondent Of the Philadel-
phia Inquirer, writing from New York under
date of March 7th, says the story of the Paris
correspondent of the London Morning Star,
that the Emperor Napoleon intends to employ
his influence to secure the election of Arch
bishop Hughes to the Popedom, upon the death
Of the present incumbent, though doubtless a
canard of the first water, makes great deal Of
talk in Paris. There are many who, arguing
from the frequent interviews which the Arch
bishop is known to have had with his Imperial
Highness during his present sojourn in Paris,
insist upon it that there is more in it than ap-
pears on the surface. Be that as it may, it is
certain the mere possibility of such thing will
vastly increase His Grace's Power and influence
(both ofwhich are already immense,) on his re-
turn to the United States.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.-On Satur-
day last, Mr.. Kendall, Union Democrat, ia
troduoed 10 the Assembly proposed

be) that will support the Constitution OF the
United States, and hold my allegiance to the
United States paramount to any other allegi-
ance whatever; that in case of invasion, or in
surrection or rebellion against the United States
or its authority, will if required, assist to re-
pei such invasion, or put down such insurrec-
ton or rebellion; that will in no case, help,
aid, assist or comfort any foe of the United
States, or any person in insurection or rebel
lion against its authority, or attempting to over
throw the same; that will support the Consti
tuition of the State of California, and will faith
fully discharge the duties of-- according to
the best of my ability.
And the Legislature may, by law, require lit
igants to take and subscribe this oath, and may
close the Courts Of the State against such plain
tfs as neglect or refuse to take it; but no other
oath, declaration or test shall be required for
any Office or public trust.

ANOTHER OUTRAGE.-We are informed by
