From the Citizen Ot August 2f.
 The weather this week has been wet and warm. Tuesday even ing, the heaviest rain fell in Tue son, we have ever observed with in a few hours. Every street was river, and on the flat in Main street above Welisch's building, there was lake of respectable size. Several houses on the west side were flooded and the roof of one fell in, without injuring any one. The dry arrOyos all around were booming with water. We'd nesday and night some rain fell, since which time the sky hasaver- aged clear.
 According to previous announce ment, the exclusive right to rent booths on the plaza during the coming Feast of San Augustine, was sold at auction last Saturday to A. Torres for $385; and the several lots of block 161 in the ex. treme southern portion of the cor porratiOn, were sold to several persons for the aggregate sum of $12l.
 The Village Council will meet next Monday evening to provide police for the Feast which opens next Saturday and will probably continue ten days. Booths are now being erected on the plaza.
 Judge Anderson came in from Florence by Thursdays stage and returned yesterday. He says eve rybody about there feels that the mining prospects are very good. The day he started from Flor. ence, the owners of the Silver King brought fifty pounds of re- fined silver to B. N. Fish & Go. s store, which had been smelted and refined in Florence. He says Messrs. Arey and Hughes are at work with their furnace across the river, and that Messrs. Jen- nings & Ruggles are now build ing enlarged works just north of Col. Ruggles' residence. A water power is available there to run the blower to the furnace. These new works are to be finished with all possible dispatch, and will afford quite extensive facilities for re- duction of all classes of ores. MT. Jennings stands high as a metal lurgist, and no doubts are enter tained of complete success of the new works.

Indians Leave Corinne for their
 Reservations.

SALT LAKE, August 13th.-La- est advices from COrinne state that the Indians have left for their Reservations. A Tribune special says If it was not for the prompt action of the Government, COrinne would now be a thing of the past. The Indians, when alone, say they were induced by the MormOns to leave their reservations, and that they were promised all the land in Bear River Valley. Hill, the Mormon Elder, who is acting as Indian chief, left COrinne sudden ly, leaving all his personal effects in camp. The citizens are de- termined to hang him if they can catch him.

Excitement About the Suspension

 Los ANGELES, August 26.--The reported suspension of the Bank of California caused great excite ment. It is not known that any of our people will lose. The Far mers' and Mechanics Bank is one of our institutions, having busi- ness relations with the Bank of California, and it is supposed it's accounts have the balance on the safe side.

Something must be done to stop this thing, and that speedily, for forbearance has ceased to be a virtue.

The reports from Corinne seem to point out the melting agency which has stirred up the Indians to war very plainly. How far the general Mormon Church may be responsible is difficult to say. But two facts stated would seem to indicate quite plainly that white men have put up this Outburst, else how and whence could the Indians obtain an armament of Henry rifles |? And the other first reported item that they are under the command of John Hill, the noted Mormon guide and h. dian interpreter, and who also adds to his interesting titles that of the Destroying Angel" goes far, if true, to prove that the Indian raid is a Mormon ontburst. In the Mountain Meadows Massa. ere they found the Indians con- venient adjunct to help do the assassinating, and then as a foil for themselves in case of an investigation or trial. At the present writing, news from Cor inne is but meagre-simply an attack by the Indians and their repulse.-ALtd.

SOUruERN PROGREss.

Northern Journals are commencing to
realize the fact that the South is gradually
releasing herself from the cmbarrass-
ments produced by the war. She is now
counting direct trade with Europe, and
| when the outlet to the Gulf is completed
this brilliant scheme of trade will have
been consummatcd. A new and hardy
population has gradually advanced and
made a stand among the staid, old lament
lug arislOcrats, and combining with the
ambitious sons of these remnants of Il
past day, have planted broad fields, dis
tributed capital, established manufac-
tories, and Infused into the working and
trading classes new lie and stcadicr cner-
gics. Since the last battle of the war the
South has had trouble with her working
colorcd population, because the political
fractions for them than the corn
or cotton fields. That was remedied by
the importation of Germans, Swedcs and
Norwegians, who, in defiance of maarial
diseases, change OF water and climate.
and personal opposition from the blacks,
have shown themselves equal to the task
of clearing Southern fields OF their rich
productions. These industrious new
corners did not have the capacity to per-
form all the work of the plantations, but
their presence influenced the negroes to
return 10 the fields OF labor, because they
saw, with envy, these hardy white men,
from foreign countries, successfully sup
planting them in their inherited homes
| and places OF labor. In Tennessee man
ufactorics Of every description are being
put ia operation, and iron mines are
showing their crude wealth through the
eXertions Of labor, encouraged by

LEvEE IMPROVEMENT.
\ Few Questions from "Ci'ixe".'

EDITOR BULLETIS-Deor Sir; Il no.
tce in the BULLETIN of the 9th that it is
rumored that the levee is to be repaired
at the Joint expense of the City, the Prop.
crty Company and the Narrow Gauge.
Should the rllmor prove true, as Il citi-
zen and Taxpayer, | would like to in
quirc, what interest will The city hold in
the improvement, after it is finished, out
side of the protection which the other
two corporations enjoy also: viii the
city own any part of this levee; or will
the ownership exist only between the
Narrow Gauge and the Property Com
pany? The lcvecs protect the property
of the citizens, the Property Company
and the railroad.
Taus far there is an equality, but when
the city is called upon topay one.third Of
the cost OF improving the property Of
others, and she has no return for the in
ycstmcnt except the protection given,
aud which the other corporations enjoy
equally with the city, there is a manifest
inequality. lido not object to the improve
mcnt; acknowledge the necessity, and
am willing that the city should take this
burihcn on herself, but at the same time
would see it so fixed that the city
can be reimbursed tor the expenditure.
People came here and bought property
with the distinct understanding that their
property was to be protected from over
flow. This the Property Company even
now guarantees, by implication, in their
standing advertisement in the daily
papers. why don't this company live
up to its agreement They surely cam

property owners, it Is about time that
