DxArH OF JOHN RoLLy RrDGE-1his gentle
man. very generally and favcrabiy known through
out the State, as man of acknowledged literary
ability and poeticai worth. died at Grass Valley.
Nevada county, On the 5th instant Of brain fever.
At tie time Of his death. and for some tine prior
to that event, be was editor of the Grass Valley
National He had been connected with various
papers of the State and vas the author of several
popular works, and numereus poems He was a
man Of good education and generous impulses.
gentlemanly in his department. and warm and reli-
able in his personal friendship. He claimed 10 be
the rightful chief of the Cherokee nation in oppo-
sition to John Ross, whose supremacy was estab-
lshed in turmoil and blood, resulting in the death
of the father of the present subject and the defeat
of what was known as the Ridge party. At the
close Of the late war, Mr.. Ridge visited Washing
ton with the hope Of re-asserting the claims OF
his family in the Cherokee nation, but the rival
Ross faction, who had dragged his father from hi
bed at midnight, and murdered him, were too
accomplished courtiers and politicians to be caught
in q minority, and were favorable to the rebellion
when that held sway in Arkansas, and the first to
give adhesion to the General Government, when
the rebellion gave ont signs Of decay. The attach
ment then shown to him by the Cherokees in Wash
ington is said TO have been something remarkable.
His funeral took place at Grass Valley the 7th,
from Emmanuel Church, and was largely attended.
The remains were escorted to the Church by the
Independent Order OF Knighthood, of which body
he was member, and the Grass Valley Circle of
the Fenian Brotherhood, the impressive burial ser
vico of the Episcopal Church was conducted by the
Rector, Rev. D. D. Chaplin, after which the long
procession proceeded to Greenwood Cemetery,
where the last sad rites were held and all that was
mortal of John Ron Ridge was consigned to the
tomb. The large concourse of citizens and friends
who were present, the heartfelt sorrow that was
manifested, and the sober quiet that existed
throughout the town, all the stores and places of
business being closed testified the esteem and res
pect in which the deceased was hold by all who
knew him. He leaves accomplished wife and
one daughter, who have the sympathss of numer-
Gus friends.

ArfIona.

Mr. J. H. Marion. VINO was formerly employed in
this Office for several years, and who has been the
Prescott correspondent Of the Sacramento Union,
has assumed the editorial control of the Arizona
Miner. From that paper of Sept 2lss, we extract
the following items:
BRAVERY OF A woxAx-word was brought to
town last evening from the Point OF Rocks. about
four miles below Prescott and three miles from
Fort Whipple, that abou, twenty Indians had made
an attack upon the ranch of Hon. Lewis A. Stevens
with the evident inteotlon of robbing the house.
numbering the inmates and stealing the stock At
the time Of the attack there were on the place but
two persons-Mrs- Stevens and hired man. The
house is situated about one hundred Yards from
immense pile of rocks, which contain numerous
caves and little valleys. As luck welld have it.
Mrs. Stevens and the man saw the murderons ras-
Gals as they emerged from the rocks, for their
guns and opened tre upon the thieves, who return
ed the fire for some time, trying every ruse known
TO savage warfare TO get possession OF the horses
bat the quick eyes and steady fire OF Mrs. S. and
the hired man cowed the savsges. and they were
forced 10 skulk back TO their hiding place without
accomplishing the object of their raid.
INDIAN REsERvArIoS-A reserve has been estab-
lished on the Colorado river, and c. B. Genuug
the sub-agent. writes as follows
People generally think Indians win not work.
This is mistaken notion. have been here about
six weeks and in that time the Indians have plant
ed more than twelve hundred acres, and will raise
good crop.
Gen. Dent has just returned from San Francisco
with good supply OF farming implements, and
next year contemplates planting five thousand
acres.
The surveyors are at work on the ditch, making
the final survey. There will be over hundred
men at work here in less than a month, and every
thing looks prosperous.
Upon this the Miner remarks:
This. we believe, is the beginning of the end OF
our Indian difficulties. and long stride in the right
direction. Gen. Dent deserves the thanks of the
people of Arizona for being the first Superintend
ent of Indian Affairs in this Territory who has at
tempted to put in practice the theory of making
the Indians sustain themselves.

The STATE CAPIroL-The Vallejo Recorder OF a
recent date. has the following:
The Legislature convened in Vallejo in the winter
of 1852, and by a majority of two votes adjourned
10 Sacramento. In 1858 the Legislature again as
sembied in Vallejo and by a mere majority finally
removed the capitol from this place. 1t is conten-
ded that vote Of two-thrds required to re-
move it legally and consequently that the removal
was Illegal and that Vallejo is still the constitution
al capitol of California.
Probably there never was more thoughtless act
than that which established the Capitol at Sacra-
mento, and made appropriations for capitol bull
ding TO be erected there. We trust the incoming
State authorities will give this subject a thorough
consideration. and if wisdom and common pru-
dence declare Sacramento to be an unfit place fer
such building the Stat ought to have we trust
they will at once remove it without regard to the
money already thrown away. on massive capitol
in a mudhole. 1t may do for branch insane Asy-
lum. But the people of California should never be
compelled to prove their own insanity by another
legislative endorsement of Sacramento as an ap-
proprate place for the erection of capital build
ing.

SURPRISE VALLEY.--Intelligence flom this loca-
ton to September 10th, is to the effect the valley
had been visited by a regular old fashioned rain
and snow storm. A portion of the grain grown
there had fully rpened, but some of it still
fit to cut. The settlers in the valley have been
troubled somewhat with crickets but are represen-
ted well satisfied With their prospects. Parties
who had reached the valley from Camp Wood,
Oregon reported that General Crook had left there
with sixty days rations and four companies of SOL
diers, on scout against the Indians of Lake Albert
and vicinity. They anticipate that he will stir
them up rather lively Some sixty men, being re-
cruits for companies and D, twenty-third Infant
rv, en- route to Camp Wood, had arrived in the
valley Those of our people who have friends re-
siding in Surprise Valley will see that they are
very well provided against attacks from Indians

OIL PROSPECTS IN CoLusA.-The oil business in
Colusa seems doomed to the fate that overlook the
copper mining operations of Butte. Notwithstan-
ding many good indications, and occasional fiatter-
ing reports, nothing substantial and tangible has
yet been found. The following from the Sun, is
the latest oil report from Colusa: "The oil well
OF L.Lewis is now down 700 feet, and Lewis finds
himself out of funds. Some parties are now trying
to get subscription of about 81 900 to put the well
down to depth of 900 feet. The indications are
good, and it is thought that 900 feet will thor
ougsly test the matter. An oil well there would
be of immsense value to the people of this county
and as Lewis company have spent many thousand
dollars, it is but right that the whole community
interested should try the experiment little fur
ther' This is all very we'll; but the searchers af-
ter oil wells in California will excuse US if we insist
that they are not going to be successful. Geology
is against them. The 'fat of the land is not oil.
