EAST WALKER RIvER.-Mr. Geo. Bense,
passed through town on Saturday, for Wa
shoe Valley, with about sixty head OF cows
with their young calves, which he drove in
from The East Walker river. The Indians
bad got to killing three or four head of his
COWS. daily, which be considered rather too
heavy, aud consequently removed. Mr..
Bense is of the impression that the Indians
carry most Of their stolen beef into the
mountains for future use, but as yet they
have not attempted TO kill white residents
10 that exposed frontier. AT the East Wal
ker District there were some thirty or forty
miners who bad four mills 10 operation. Mr..
Bense and party brought 10 $500 worth of
gold malgam. The first obtained from the
crushing by these mills. This amalgam is
from about twenty tons Of rock, more than
half the gold 10 which was not saved on ac-
count Of imperfect machlnery.-[Carson

nacht. on FL Dorado street. exploded with a
loud report, scattering the fragments of il
over the room, breaking some panes of glass
and knocking one of the workmen down who

been out Of use, and while standing in a
corner, had been made repository, by
Frank of paper of powder, which he had
forgotten to remove. Yesterday morning
the stove was brought out and fire kindled
therein. As soon as The powder was reached

SINGULAR PnENOMENoN.-Th The San Maieo
Gazette, is responsible for the following
singular narrative, which appeared in its
issue of the 29lh ut:
On Monhay morning last. Wm. Durham,
Esq. visited the WOodside Dairy Farm, for
the purpose of making some repairs around
the surface works, or receiving reservoir of
an old Artesiaa well, on thai place. That
we'll has been dry, or, in other words, had
not Over6own for several years, but when
he reached il, he found it throwing a heavy
stream of water, eight feet highly far The
finest stream in this section Of the country.
and was informed that il bad been so flow
ing for sever days But the most extraor-
dlnary feature of all is. that, upon examin-
alton, the water was found to contain, as il
came from the well. large quantities of red
wood sawdust. Nothing has been done
about the well by which the said dust could
get into il there, aud there is not a saw mill
near, as far as can be learned, or any 9TH
er place from which the dust could come,
within. at least, six miles Of there. The
sawdust comes directly up from the bowels
of the earth. and the question seems to be
how il got there.

STEAMBOAT MATTERs.-There seems to be
as yet but little known in Sacramento con.
cerning the arrangement between the Steam
Navigation Company aud the Opposition.
entered into at San Francisco. Ii is
certain, however, that the steamer Sacra-
mento has been drawn off under an arrange
ment with her owners. which will continue
Ia effect until the Nevada is ready to resume
her place on the river. II she is never rails
ed, the present arrangement will be per-
manent. If raised, aud no similar agree
ment can be had With her owners. then the
present arrangement with The Sacramento
will cease. The general basis on which
outside boats are induced TO lay up is to
pay them from the receipts of the Company
the same dividend on their estimated value
as Is paid TO stockholders OF the Company.
There is no transfer of ownership TO the
Company, but the same relative position is
occupied as to dividends. 1t is now gener-
ally conceded by steamboat men that the
Nevada will be raiseu at an early period,
but she can be put In running order again
only by great outlay Of money aud with
considerable loss of time.

ANCIENT RELIcs.-The dredging machines
employed 10 lowering the bed of the Seine
at Lyons, France. have brought up nearly
one thousand coins and medals, the earliest
being bronze, and bearing the heads Of Ju-
Illus Caesar and some of the first Roman en-
perors. Many also beloog TO the reigns of
Louis TX, Louis XII, Charles TX, and

were several six livre pieces of Louis XIV,
