FAST TIME TO SUSANVILLE.
0govILLg, Oct. 3Oth.


Editors Record A correspondent of the
Sacramento Union, writing from Big Meadows.
Plumas county, Oct. 18th, says:
We were very agreeably surprised on
awaking this morning at FIVE O'Clock to find
yesterdays Union and the MarysvilIe Appeal
before Us. not yet having lost the dampness of
the press. On inquiry, find that Major Bid
well, having completed his new Chico and
Honey Lake road. determined TO try the prac-
ticability Of making it mail route, as well as
grand thorughfare from the Sacramento val.
ley to Humboldt. Accordingly, he stationed
a rider, James Berry, at Chico, to receive the
mail, on the arrival Of the stage from Sacra-
mento and Marysville, and proceed TO this
place. Berry left Chico at halfpast eleven
last night, and arrived here at five O'Clock this
morning making the trip, distance sixty five
miles, in the short space of five and one half
hours.
At seven o'clock A H Barber mounted an
other pony and proceeded on 10 Susanville
Honey Lake, which place distant forty miles,
be must have reached easily by twelve O'Clock
N. to-day"
The above is good time, but was badly beat
en- by Mr. Allen J. Wood on Saturday last
the 25th inst starting from OrovilIe at five
o'lock a. NJ, carrying paper and letter mail
he reached Susauville, Honey Lake Valley, al
two o'clock and twelve minutes P. NJ of that
day, making the entire distance doc miles) il
nine hours and twelve minutes.
A private letter from Gov. Roop, of Honey
Lake Valley, in answer TO one received by
Woods Express, says: " Wood arrived hert
on Saturday, the 25th inst, at twelve minute;
past two O'Clock, making the trip from Orc
vile to this place in nine hours and twelve
minutes. Wood says he can make greatly
better time next trip"
Wood arrived at Susanville in three hour
and eighteen minutes less time than did Bern
i Barber from Chico, Notwithstanding the ia
tigue incident to riding the entire distanc,
himself, aud having one mile further to trave
from 0roville, than the other Express, from
Chico; yet these disadvantages were NOR,
than counterbalanced by the superiority 0
the route ria Pence's ranch, Dogtown, Inskil
and uumbug Valley or Longville.

The HONEY LAKE RoUrE.-There has been
considerable newspaper correspondents talk
lately about the new route " to Honey Lake
from Chico, and fast express has been sent
over with wet Sacramento Unions, arriving
at Susanville in twelve hours and a half from
Chico. Our old friend Col. Barber, rode the
express from Humbug to Susanville and put
it through in fine style, but don't that account
for the papers being "wet?" But joking
aside,-Gen. Wood sent an express from Oro-
vile to Susanvile in eight hours and half,
over the old Dogtown and Humbug road,
which has been greatly improved during the
past season. This shows the route to be
shorter than the Chico road, or the speed of
the animals greater. But the old road is now,
in the language of teamsters coming over it,
a just the best road over the mountans"-and
with the facilities presented at this end of the
route in getting freight and passengers to the
Humboldt mines, it offers inducements to mer-
chants and trvaelers for safety and celebrity not
possessed by any other road The accommo-
dations on this old route are superior to any
other And fair trial of the two routes will
soon give the prestige to the old road.
How THE New York TRIBUNE AIDED Sc
CEssIoN.-A letter from New Orleans says
that when the rebel emisSaries from Charleston
addressed a public meeting in New Orleans
before Louisiana had passed the act of seces-
sion, the Union feeling was so strong in the
meeting at first that the South Carolina dele
cation made little or no impression, and in
spired no enthusiasm for their reasonable and
viainous schemes, until one of them brought
out copies of the New York Tribune and quo
ted largely therefrom. From this moment, the
spirit Of the Union men sunk because it was
evident the leverage was against them, and
the tide of secession and dsunion, stimulated
by Tribune editorials, would soon run too
strong for them" And so it proved.
MEXICAN NEws.-The Golden Age brings
news from the City of Mexico to the % uli
The greatest activity is manifested by the
people in completing the Notifications for the
defence of the capital, many of them giving
their labor free. There are over 40 600 troops
assembled in and about the city, and the new
works of defence are said to be very superior,
and, if properly manned, to be capable of re-
sisting the attack of o very large force. The
utmost enthusiasm prevails throughout the re-
public, aud it is thought that there will be no
difficulty in raising an army of 10000 men to
do battle with the French forces.

ATTACKED BY INDIANS. - The Red Bluff
Beacon says a we'll known citizen of that place,
Mr.. Vestal, his son Frank, IA young man) and
gentleman named Henderson, were returning
with their teams from Yreka few days ago,
when they met with trouble from band of
struggling Indians, on the McCloud river
above Fort Crook They woke up in camp,
one morning, and found that several articles
had been stolen during the night. Feeling
apprehensive that their cattle would be in
danger, they Immediately started out in search
of them, found them unharmed, and drove
them to camp. During their absence every
thing valuable about camp had been abstract
ed. Htching up, they proceeded on their
way, and just as they arrived at q bushy,
thicket place on the road, they found them
selves surrounded by number of yelling
Diggers, who opened on them with showers OF
arrows There was but one gun in the CON-
pany. 1t was in the hands of Frank Vestal
who made good use of it, dropping one Indian
with it at the first FIRE. At the same moment
a buggy drove up, containing two men armed
with revovers and shot gun. This rein
/ forcement gave the Indians fright, and of
they scampered. Capt Mellen was informed
of the attack, and sent company of dragons
in pursuit of the savages. What the result OF
the pursuit was we shall probably not learn
for some days.
Frank Vestal narrowly escaped being killed,
and arrow grazing him on the neck, and others
passing in close proximity to his person.

The New York Chamber Of Commerce on
Tuesday passed a series Of resolutions Sc
verely denouneing the conduct Of Great
Britain in tacitly permitting the building
and fitting out of vessels in her ports to
plunder and destroy American commerce,
and they Esra the merchants Of Great
Britain that q repetition Of such acts as
the burning of the Brilliant by vessels ft-
ted out in Great Britain, and manned by
British seamen, cannot fail to arouse the
most widespread evaporation in this
country, and hence they-invOke the inhu-
ence of all men who value peace and good
will among the nations, to prevent the de-
parture Of other vessels of the character
referred to from their ports, and 50 to
avert the calamity Of war.
One Of the resolutions was as follows:
" "ResOlvsd, That this Chamber has not
failed to notice a rapid change in British
sentiment, transforming a friendly nation
into a self-styled neutral power, the ma
ture of which neutrality is shown in per-
mitting ships to 60 forth with men, and in
permitting an armament to follow them
for the detestable work Of plundering and
destroying American ships thus encour-
aging upon the high seas an offsnse against
neutral rights, on plea Of which, in the
case Of the Trent, the British Government
threatened to plunge this Government into
war

The Yellow Fever is raging fearfully at
wa-i.gts-y E-n,- The Journal of Nom
day last, says;
HAbout ten o'clock on Saturday night a
cold rain come on, with but little lightning,
and the thermometer fell rapidly, almost
Immediately, some sixteen degrees. The
effect upon over 500 cases Of yellow fever
may be imagined. The mortality on Sat
urday night and Sunday exceeded any
thing that had been known since the cpl
demio commenced, or since Wilmington
was q town. Cofins, oofhns, was the great
want, and SO continues. Cofins cannot be
obtained as fast as people die. Drip, drip,
from the leaden sky. Death and sickness
all around; this last Sunday, to which We
had looked forward with some hope, was
the gloomiest and saddest Of all the days
that we have yet seem"
The following is an extract of letter
received, dated 18th October, 1882, from
resident of Wilmington, addressedtp Cap
tain J. P. Levy, in New York:
"Our city Is one vast charnel-house-
thirty deaths to-day, and not enough well
people to bury the dead. Oh it is awful
-awful-the mortality unequaledby any
thing except the famous plague in Lon
dop.N
From an extra Of the journal, dated the
10Th, that paper having temporarily sus-
pended its issue, we learn that there were
81 new cases on Monday, and "A on Tues
day. There were fifteen deaths each day.
Among them was that Of the Reverend B.
B. Deane, Rector of Ct, James Episcopal
Church.
