PLEASANT STATE OF AFFAIRS IN CALIPoR-
MIA San Francisco dispatch dated yes
terday, brings the following pleasant intclll-
gence:
The most severe shock Of earthquake since
October last, occurred this evening at 5;45.
So far as ascertained, no damage to build
ings. People somewhat alarmed. New and
rich developments in the silver region; peo-
pie focklng thither In great numbers from
ten to fifteen thousand have already located
there. The stormy weather continues; the
roads are almost impossible the whole dis
tancc between Ecko and Hamilton Is lined
with stalled teams, wagons loaded with mer-
chandisc nearly buried In the mud. Pncu-
monia prevails TO an alarming extent. Sew
eral cases of smallpox reported In the neigh
borhood; Indians In the ncighborhood be-
coming hostile. 1t is suggested that If the
military authorities will establish post at
Snake river or White river, very many lives
may be saved the approaching summer. A
band Of Indians recently attacked a party Of
prospectors near Snake mountain, killed and
scalped two of them, also captured their
camp.
