SHADC uITURE.-That delightful fish,
the shad, familiar to those brought up
on the Atlantic side of the continent, is
about to. be introduced to our Sacra-
mento waters. Yesterday some 1900
diminutive specimens Of the species
arrived here In tin cans, filled with
water, on the train from the East, and
were taken on the Oregon Railroad In
the afternoon to Sesma, on the upper
Sacramento river, where they are to be
allowed their freedom In the river, In
order to propagate and furnish US Sac
ramentans In years to come with the
most delicious of food. These shad
were brought here by Seth Greene, OF
Caledonia, New York, who is one of
the New York Fish Commissioners.
They were Matched a week ago last
Sunday night in the Hudson river, the
spawn having been obtained 300 miles
away. Mr.. Greene was met here by
B. B. Redding, one Of the California
Fish Commissioners, who accompanied
the little visitors to the north. Our
own Commissioners are allowed 5000
for the purpose Of Introducing rare
specimens Of fish from other States or
countries to our waters, and for pro-
tecting our own fisheries. Through
our Commissioners these shad have
been brought here, and the result o.
their endeaYors will be looked for witt
much interest by the people OF the
State. The experiment has proved g
success in New York and CONNECTICUT,
and why not here?
FROM THE WAR.-We met an ole
gentleman to-day, just down from The
scene of the latest "onpleasantness'
that we have heard of. He says there
will be no fight. The actual mlner'
did not originate this "Amador war;
but the authors we're Democratic can
didates for county Offices, who, In ordel
to secure votes, urged them Into theil
lawless course and have slid out Of the
muss 80 quickly as they found tina
trouble was deepening around them
With them It seems very we'll to have
been called "bully boys'' by a gang o
principally Cornish and Italians, whit
were maddened because they wer'
stopped from stealing, but when thu
brunt came they have been found want
ing. They are like Gov. Haight In {
measure, for while these poor fellow
are crowded down toalmost starvation
their principals are out Of town cleo
pioneering; and while the troops ar
supposed TO be taking aim at tho afore
said miners, the doughty G%eneral-in
Chief Is down at the Bay taking a batl
In the clear water, which Sacrament
has not, and busting out n twelve hun
dred dollar church pew, which Sacra
mento-poor Sacramento-cannot fur
nish. Our Informant states that tn
Door fellows are willing to do any
thing; that their families are on TIL
verge of starvation ; that broad, ant
not war, Is what they want.
The Notwithstanding will b
thoroughly packed to-day with stran
gers brought thither By an interest Y
the State Convention Of the Republi
can party. It Is said that two boat
will be required from San Francisco :
connect with the trains from Vallej
and Oakland this morning. Nearl,
all the rooms In the hotels and privat
: lodging houses have been engaged, All
we learn that the friends Of Mayo
Selby have secured the Brannan Hous
!; as their headquarters, while Booth
friends have secured other places.

Wednesday afternoon, in the Assembl
} Chamber. The seats, placards and al
as left by the Democratic Convention

and surroundings were being put !

mire, with a gang Of men. But FEY
delegates have arrived, thus far, bu
the bulk of them will arrive to-day
| Rooms have been secured In hoteI
=, and other buildings BY delegates an
others from all parts of the State.
No CELEBRAT1oN.-There will be n
: celebration OF the Fourth of July !
Sacramento, except that the militar
will parade, and probably the fireme
will turn ont. The Pioneers have d.
cided not to celebrate, and when Il
old veterans fail to move, then II
young ones might as we'll look to the
own resources.
