SOLDIERS On THE RAMPAGE-We are informed
that a number Of soldiers left Camp Bidwell with
two horse wagon, on Wednesday night last, .and
visited the farmhouse Of Mr.. Rose, some four miles
distant for the purpose OF capturing quantity Of
honey. Upon their arrival the team hitched
10 the fence on the roadside. and several soldiers
entered the premises Of Mr.. Rose and commenced
smoking the bees with birthstone. when they were
detected. Mr.. Rose Immediately procured his ride
and fired at them. but upon several shots being
quickly returned, he retreated back, and in COM
pany with friend, saddled their horses and fol
lowed the soldiers to their Camp near Chico, or till
they came up to the guard, who refused to let them
so farther. The next day the matter was compro
missed. by the soldiers giving up the honey-one
keg and tive bee-hiyes-and also agreeing 10 pay
Mr.. Rose the sum Of fifty dollars. We have heard
recently OF number Of similar complaints made
against the soldiers by the citizens of that neigh
borhood but 10 what extent or 10 their correctness
We cannot say. It is TO be deeply regretted that
such shameful conduct should be used towards the
private property of our citizens and that, too, in
land Of plenty, where all kindness and hberaity
has been extended to them by the good citizens OF
Chico. We should think company properly Off
