Three fugitive slaves, belonging to a Mr. Perkins, were arrested at Ophir on the 1th of June, by Sheriff Allen, of Piacer county. They were taken fiom Georgia in 1849, on their promising faithfully to work a stipulated time for thetr master, on the expiration of which time they were to be set at liberty. They sloped soon afier they landed, and Mr. Perkins returned to Tennessee. He deapatched hy last steamer orders for their apprehension.

They were crossing the river in a small boat, which, when ear the shore, was upset by the rapidity of the current, and themselves thrown in the stream. Mr. Carnes, who was near the spot, immediately ran to their assistance, and reached Curray, too late, however, to succeed ia savin; him, us he was alreudy in the rough rapids, an completely exhausted Curray had his papers about his person, and the two had more thana thousand dottars in dust with them at the time. Their bodies have not been recovered. An election for Supervisors, on the 15th June, in Sacramento, resulted in a whig victory.

In one irstunce, our informant says a | Mining News. | It is snid that a party of Gormans havo recently discovered a very rich gold placer on the Sacramento | route to Yreka — Tho discovery wasmade on a creek | emptying into the Sacramento river from the west. ‘Thie creek is about fifteen mil-s north of the moun- tain heights known as the Back Bone; and as no | name was known for it by the party making the | discovery, thoy called it Back Bone Creck The min De grou is said to be exteusive, and of unex- | ampled richness. The carth in many places yielded from three to fivo dollars to the panfual. Many persons who left Shasta Valley forthe mines on Rogue river, are said to be returning. They re- port the mines on Rogue river to be excesding! rich, but they were not of sufficient extent to afford claims to all who were attracted thither. Thoso who have claims upon the riverare generally obtain- ing a great abundance of gold. The mines on Dead Wood Greek. near Yreka, are proving to bo exceedingly rich. It is thought that a very large amount of gold will be taken from this creek during the presout summer. i A correspondent, writing to San Francisco, from Rich Bar, says:—* Provisions and clothing are very cheap here, aud those who labor by the day get six dollars very readily wish to try their Inck at digging on their own hook, find plenty of opportunity for six dollars per diem. The prospects of miners in this region are very flat- tering, and 1 presume there will be wmuch more go'd taken from the earth this summer than has ever Lefore Leen raised. There are, at present, a large number of people doing well in the hills and banks around here The Stockton Journal says:—** A gentleman from Mariposs county informs us that the splendid works of the Mereed Mining Company, at Mount Ophir, which cost. over $100 000, and in which Me.

On tho 1th of June, a fire ocenrred at Yankee Jim’s, in Placer county, by which property to the amount of $40,000 was destroyed. The sufferers are named as follows :—Cardner’s loss, $3,000; King, $7,000; Graves & Co., $2,500; Farnham & Halins, $4,500: Thorndike, $4,000; Stines & Isners, 7.000; Pike County House, $1,500; Court House and restaurant, $2.00 $5,000; Gregory's Express, $2.000; Miller & Co.'s storehouse, $2.000; New York House, $2,000—to- tal, $10.000—the above being probably an undor estimate of the loss. . The Export of Gold from California, {From the San Franeiseo Herald, June 11.) The total shipment of gold dust appearing upon the Custom House books, from this port, during the first_ quarter of 1852, was $7,710,932, of which $7.277,500 was taken by steamers to Panama, and "2,703 to San Juan del Sud—the remainder, 100,729, was carried by sailing vessels to Hong Kong, Valparaiso, and other ports upon the Pacific. As an indication of the large amount taken by pas- which does not appear upon the he p- ests, we may adduce the fact that the sh ment from this port to Panama and San Juan daring tho month of February, was, per records, only $1,857 while the coinage at the various mints ithin which month the gold ex- during March, sorted from here in Vebruary would reach the Atlantic cicies, amounted to $4,921 ‘fho dif- ference of course not all taken passengers, but a large portion of it undoubtedly was. ‘The of the Panama steamers SUT ducing April, $2.4 manife ment of $3.4 May, and $1; 466 in June—making $16, ‘aia for. tho first five months and a half of This does not include the amount manifested sinee Mareh for any other port than Pana ma—tho amount taken to various Pacific ports during the year and not returned to the Custom House, or tho large sums taken in the hands passengers.

[Fromthe San Franeiseo Herel, June 11.) Our population, drawn from every quarter of the globe, and made up of every race, continues to in- ) with astonishing rapidity. The number of passengers Ianded at San Francisco, during the month of 8 follow Ws: ets New York and » 10641 jan usually few, not exceeding 1,500, leaving a net in- ereave of 9,141, to our population, during the month of May. If we make allowance for the numbers brought by vessels over and above the law allows, which, not being returned, are not included in the above, the real increase of population will fully reach 10,000 for the month, tine at the rate of 120,000 for the year. When the immense number of emigrants crossing the plains begin to como in, this average will be fully sustained. We may, therefore safely estimate that the population of California will be increased 160,000 during the present y " ; One painful fact noticeable in connection with the emigration Inst month, is the unusnally great number of deaths that have occurred on the pas- sage. The mortality on passenger vessels has been great, beyond all precedent, nearly 150 deaths hav- ing taken place. The Merced Indian Troubles. . Under the head of another Indian war, the San Joaquin Republican, of the 16th of June, publishes the following items of intelligence in relation tothe late Indian disturbance on the head waters of the Merced :— g A party of eighteen miners left Coarse Gold Gulch about tho middle of May, on a prospecting tour to the Upper Sierra, near the head waters of the Merced. After travelling about 70 miles, they were suddenly surrounded and attacked by a largo body of Indians belonging to the Yeosemoty tribe, who killed two of their number, named Rose and Shurborn, and wounding one, Joseph Tudor. Tho party then fled, as their arms and ammunition were out of order. After travelling five days without provisions, they arrived at Coarse Geld Gulch on the 2d inst., in an almost famished condition. A party of forty men immediately mustered and start- ed ont to chastise the Indians. Thoy found the bodies of the two murdered men, and buried them, the Indians all the time taunting them with threats of defiance, crossed the river, which being very high, the party did not wish to pursue them further, and re- tormed a ‘tis feared that the Kings rivor Indians, amd the | dovot After some manceuvering, tho Indians iv fact, all who do not | Bl Dorada, Foster & Co., | | Kaweoahs, aro in league with the wild tribes in tho mountains ; if 0, we may anticipate trouble ‘apt.

Of these, the Yeosemotys sre the most hovtile and warlike; they bave always refused to treat with the commission- ers, although twice brought within a few miles of the enmp on the Frezno—the place dosignated to form a treaty; each time they stampeded, and ro- turned to their mountain fastnosses. Thoy inhabit a beautiful and fertile valley in tho upper Sierra Nevada, on the iniddle fork of the Merced, known as Yeosemoty valley. This valley is avout sixty miles in length, with an average af three in breadth, tho surrounding peaks are covered with perpetual snow, and it is known that there is gold in tho vi- cinity ‘This last week the Indians connected with the re- serves had a great feast at Major Savage's ranch; 2s many us two or threo thousand were present.

They were on foot, aud armed with cussion muskets. The coloncl, taking with him the two sergeants, pursued (hem for some miles, calling on them to surrender. At length thoy halted. ‘Col Craig took off his sabre, gave it, with his pistol, to Sergeant Bales, and dismounting, proceeded un- armed towards the deserters, offvring to use his in- fluence in their favor ifthey would retarn with him.

On Tuesday last, John Jackson arrived in our place from up the Feather river, on foot, aud ear Ing a enddle, saying that he had crippled his | a few miles above, and that he was then on his way to his home, a few miles below Nicolaus. On Wod- nesday night, about ten o’elock, he arrived at the house of Martin Bader, below Hock Farm, called for his supper, and wished to stop all night. Mrs. Bader, the deceased, got his suppor, and all went to bed. After breakfast on Thursday morning, Mr. Bader started to Captain Sutter’s on businoss, Jackeon saying that he would remain as com- i for the lady until his (Bader’s) return. irs.
