The writer passed an hour, recently, in
looking over the premises of our enterprising
fellow citizen. Samuel Stoddard, Esq, in the
section of the city known as "Soapville.'
The fret object that arrested our attention
was huge pile Of leached ashes, said to con-
tain 200 bushels. They are thrown directly
from the ''leaches" under large, open shed,
which contains 20, 900 bushels. The Messrs.
ISprague have purchased several thousand
bushels for their lands in Augusta, the most
of which have been removed. Previously the
demand from New York and New Jersey has
been sufficient to consume them, but within q
few years our farmers have been using them

As a consequence, very few have been shipped

Nows From California.

San Francisco, 10. Elijah Steele arrived
at Ireka this evening from the front. he
says the Modoes would have como ont had
they not been frightened by stories told them
by persons who desire to have them remain
in the country. There ia a strong rivalry for
the leadership between Captain Jack and
Schonsches. Steele thinks nothing but war
can settle the difficulties. He says that it is
impossible that Jack has left the lava beds,
as the snow is too deep in the mountain
ranges for travel. The troops are in fine
condition and ready for a movement. The
officers have complete maps OF the lava beds.
Gen. Gillen is in favor of closing in on the
Indians, and expresses the belief thrt the en-
tire band may be captured without great loss.
The Modocs depend on Tule lake for supplies
of water, but have great quantities of ice and
an abundant supply Of beef and roots. a
courier who arrived later says that Gen. Gil
len has ordered an advance and attack, that
the soldiers are already in the lava beds and
close upon the enemy. Hooker Jim has sent
word to Mr.. Applegate requesting him to
make strong paper to lay before the peace
commissioners recommending that he be per-
mitted to return to the Yaionx reservation
Mr.. Apologize says that he would strongly
recommend that this murderer 'Hooker jim
be sent to the "happy hunting grounds as
he does not want him at the Yaionx reserva-
ton among decent Indians.

HAVANA.

Gently been in session almost nightly consid
ering the situation, but are not yet able to de-
terniine on any plan of action or to arrive at
any solution OF the question. When the de-
cree becomes known, the position assumed
or the action taken by the conservative, pro-
slavery leaders will however be entirely i'm
material, as the negroes are well informed
and will certainly refuse TO work as slaves.
1t is rumored that the abolition OF slavery
has been already decreed. The middle and
poorer classes depreciate the harshness Of
slave owners in making no provision for the
abolition of slavery, and the belief is gaining
ground that in the event Of abolition being
decteed, the wealthy slave owners will be
nimical to the prosperity and welfare of the
island.
