For a short time after this, our citi- zens were relieved of the presence of the leaders of the villains, and their depredations were confined chiefly to Calaveras county. Caudio found that locality too hot for bim, and started for Maripcsa. In the lower end of that county he engaged in a quarrel and was killed, Re; in the footsteps of his predecessor, a he too waé killed in Los Angelos or Tulare county. Upon the death of Claudio, Pedro Sanchez.» bold daring and Dlood-thirsty scoundrel, was promoted by Joaquin to the post held by the former. Joaquin decamped for the south- ern country, but Pedro came back to his old stamping pot at this place and Martinez, Here he has en a sort of terror to his countrymen, but seldom in- terfered with Americans. The past week he has been very troublesome, and has threatened to kill a number of Mexicans. On Monday last an Irishman was stabbed, near Sonora, with the intent, no doubt, of killing him, and this attack has been traced to Pedro Sanchez. Night before last, a Spaniard, named Albino Teba, had a difficul- 7 with Pedro, and the latter boasted that he would kill ‘eba last night. Tebs was on his goad during the even- ing, and about ten o'clock last night Pedro pursued him out of a fandango houre at Martinez. Teba told him not to approach or he would shoot. Pedro continued to ad- yanee, with a knife in his hand, when Teba fired, and kill ed him instantly. He discharged four balls at Pedro, only one of which took effect. Teba came into town this morning and gave himself up. Tomorrow morning he will have a hearing.

The following is from an extra of the San Joaquin Republican of June 6 :— A member of Capt. Love’s company, who are in search of Joaquin’s gang, sends us the report of the death of Major Harvey and Mr, Young. Their bodies were found vester day on the trail between the San Joaquin and the Frezno It is suppoved that the murders were committed by Indians friendly to the late James Savage, who, it will be remembered, was shot in an affray by Major Harvey. We have learned no further partienlars. Major Harvey was a geatleman well known throughout the State, especialiy in the Southern mines. He was at Benicia during a large portion of the last session of Legislature, where we believe he was employed ss a clerk fora part of the seesion, It was understood that he was engaged in raising s compan for the purpose of making explorations in the State of Sonora, He was a man of decided energy of character, and his death will be seriously felt by thore who contemplated accompany- ing bim on this expedition e Stockton Journal of 11th says :—‘Considerable doubt exists as to the correctness of the report of the death of Major Harvey and Mr. Young. It is even positively contradicted. The rumor obiained currency, says the Journal, throngh an accident that oceurred to’ Young. He fell from his horse near the San Joaquin, injuring himself severely, and @ mess was despatched for a physician. From this originated the report. ‘The Sonora Expedition and the Intervention of the English. It will be[remembered that we stated some time since, on the authority of a correspondent, that two En- glish men of war were lying off La Paz, in Lower Califor. nia, watching the movemen:s of a party of Americans nehmen who were ssid to be congregated in the making preparations to invade Sonora. We fiad the foil z confirmation of this report in the San Diego Heraid of the 28th May:—The quiet of our peace loving citizens was somewhat startied the other day by the news brought by a Mexican direct from La Paz, that several English men of war had arrived at that place and there landed some four or five hundred marines, duly armed and equipped, together with a large amount of provisions and stores, This statement, coupled with the generally accredited rumer that Great Britain had aided Santa ‘Anva in regaining his old position in the Mexican capital, upon condition that he was to cede to that government Lower California and Sonora, created quite a sensation among those who are disposed to forbid the bans. If this statement be true and we have no reason to doubt it, something must be in the wind, or why this pomp and pa: race of war at this particular conjuucture of ailairs. Agriculture and Crops. A head of bariey plucked from a field on the Tuolumne river has been found to contain over two hundred full formed grains. The stalk from which this head was ta- ken is six feet in height, and is but a fair sample of the entire crop. Oats from the e ranch measure seven | and eight feet high, with heads twelve and fifteen inches long. Farmers in the San Joaquin Valley are rejoicing at the fine proepect of the crops. There’ will be about 40,000 bushels of barley, wheat and Oats, bagged on the Stanis- laus river. ‘On a farm located in Dry Creek Falley. in Calaveras, the whest crop 1+ aid to ‘stand over seven feet high, with heads six and # balf iaches long. In Shasta she farmers as yet have paid but little atten- tion to the growirg of wheat. Such, however, a4 have vown this kin of graiu have the promise of an abundant yield, The crop of barley will be quite large. Vegetables, the product of adjoining rauches, are s0 plen’iful in Stockton, that they have become a drug in the market, and cannot be disposed of at any price. A number of fine gardens are cultivated in the vicinity of Columbia. Miscellaneous Intelligence. EXPLosion or A SaW Mii Borer --Ihe boiler of the steam saw mill, belonging to Jas. McLeod & Co.. of Fiddle- town, El Dorado coun'y,collapsed a tlue on the 10:h June, a chort time after tbe bands bad commenced their work for the afverncon. The boiler was blown 2 distance of one hundred feet, tearing away in its course the counting. room, partition and easte-n end of the mill Mr. McLeod, who was standing atthe time upon a log, which was about being put upon the carriage, was blown through the partition and end of the mill, breaking his leg and arm, and scalding and cutting him so fearfully, that he died next day. The clerk, Mr. Polloek, was warned of the explosion, and saved his life by jumping through the window. He was, however, cut and very badly scalded. Three Indians also'#ho were standing near the engine were blown some fifty feet and badly scalded. sy will all probably die, More TRovete wir Tae Snasta Inpians.—The Shasta Courier, of June 10, is informed by # correspondent ac Jacksonville that much excitement still exists in that vicinity against the Indians. There has been lately, he says, touch interest manifested by the citizens of Jack sonville relative to the white woman supposed to be a prisoner among the Indians. It is believed that she has been detained among them since 1851. A party of twenty- five men some days since started out with the intention of recovering her if possible, They arrived at the Indian camp on Butte creek, some forty miles from J: ‘onville, and on demanding the woman were shown an old squaw. The party then removed to the opposite site of the creek, acd camped for the night. On the morning fol. lowing they were visited by eight or ten Indians, who were informed that unless they delivered up the woman at once they would be killed. At this the Indians be | came frightened, and attempted to make their escape, when six of them were shot down, and the others wounded. The party then returned to Rogue river for provisions. Some fifteen of them have again gone on the search, determined to risk their lives to rescue her from her horrible situation. These are the wouds of the writer. Whether there was sufficient in the conduct of the Indians who visited the camp to justify the shooting of the six who were tlain, judging fom this statement, we leave the reader to determine. ExecrTioy oF BoRELLa IN Stocktox.—Jose Borella was executed in the outskirts of Stockton. on the 3d of Jum An immense crowd witnessed the spectacle. He cvafes: ed that he bad committed an smount of crime in Califor nia sufficient to have condemned”him to death tity times. He said he was » member of an o ized band of robbers, to whose nest he offered to lead the officers. He lived s long time in Tuolumne, and doubtless maoy of the crimi- nal acts on the records of that county were committed by him, He was about twenty-seven years of age, Up to the day of his execution he effected an indifference to his fate, but was completely unmanned when he was led to the gallows. He had to be assisted to the cart, aod trembled vic lently when the rope was plaved around his neck. He conferred to the padre, aod died without a struggle. The crime of which he was convicted was the murder of H. H. Janes, at a fandango, about a year age.

MINING IN THE TRINITY RivER —A correspondent, writing from Trinity River, under date of May 27, says:—* A party of some fifteen or twenty men have Salmon River, well armed and mounted, and judging from their a1 ree they will give it a good prospecting. Times axe einai to look up all along the river. The on r are working at highly remunera tive wages. The water still continues on Big Flat, and a company, by means of wi are going Ww raise the water out of the river to wash the whol thereby giving work tos large number of men. Trading houses are going up, ard traders will do a good business. Big Bar is not worked out yet; there are many rish spots while all along the river men at this et of the water are making from $6 to $8 per day, acd will improve as the river falis.”’ Calaveras Quanrz Comranres.—On Amadore ereek, six miles from Jackson, lies one of the richest quarty veins in California, and within the short distance of two miles are seven quartz mills actively employed in crushing the rich auriferous rock, The Amadoce Company No. 1, ¢ sisting of nine working men, which has beea in suocessfal operation since 1850, have sunk a shaft over one hundred feet in depth, and even at this distance from the surface the vein yields handsomely. This compan; about prieuring an engine of forty-borse power, woen thoir operations will be extended. The Spring Hill Company numbers six men; they have usually in operation six pestles and are now engaged in extracting the rock from the bottom of a shafs forty-five feet below the surface of the ground. The Keystone Company, consisting of twelve members, with eight pestles in operation, took out last week ly $2,000 The quartz deposits on 4ma- dore creek, have always been coasidered among the most valuable of any in the State. Sax Joan Diccrmes.—Mr. Kintz, just down from San Juan, bas informed the Marysville Herald that the miners at that place are doing a smashing business, There are about tpo hundred and fifty persons at work there, all of whom are in a fair way to recure their piles. The claims owned by Kintz and company have realized to the owners in two months upwards of $16,000, and are now paying on an average of over $1,200 per week From all accounts there digging: the best extant in northern California, Moxencaxx Hitt miners have never been so regularly employed, nor betier pleased with the results of their labor. The effects of the various water companies tead greatly a peasaNe this prosperity. They not only have superseded the old and wasteful ‘ prospecting’? sy stew, pointing out, ipfallibly, where rich deposits are to be found—the result of careful examinations and surveys by competent parties—but they afford the means of ren- dering sudservient to man the riches so univérsally scat- tered throughout our hills. At McRPuy ’s this is pre-eminently the case. Blace the introduction of the water to that camp, gold hes been found in enormous quantities. Men no longer speak of their day’s work by ounces—pounds is now the phrase. Claims there—and there are plenty of them, too—yield from nine to fifteen pounds of gold in the week. And that not for a time or un occasional strike, but the regu: Jar produce of the soil, which can be reckoned oa eves be- fore working. This is'a reality which has no precedent in the history of California, Yanxex Jrv’s.—The agent of Clippinger's Express writes to the Sacramento Union, from Yankee Jim’s diggings, ee Care Sizes the Some i aim, near that ace, continued to pay very ly. One company, at KGehigan Blaffa, took out one day last week six pounds of 1d dust. Miners in the immediate vicinity of Yankee im’s are doing well. TovLuMNe Mives—At Raw Hide gulch, some of the miners are doing an excellent business. One company is making excellent wages in a claim that had been aban- doned by another company. Ar Dovciass’ Fiat the miners are doing generally well, and some claims are paying fortunes. Tae deep diggings lately discovered at this flat are supposed to be the same lead that has proved so rich at Murphy’s, and equally as good strikes are being made. Ox Prersox’s Hitz some of the miners are doing well. A. P. Cromley & Co. took out five ounces in balf a day, at the depth of 35 feet. We were not informed how long they were occupied in the digging the dirt out, but they washed the dirt in half s day. Ox Gorp Hn Crowell & Co. founda beautiful specimen of gold, weighing 1134 ounces. Out of the same claim they tcok a 12ounce picee last week, Many of the claims on Gold Hill pay well. Rich Quartz Leap.—We are informed that an extreme- ly rich quartz lead, rivalling the old Bill Ford claim, or reon’s Hill, has beem struck in the vicinity of James- town. Most persons who have travelied as tar as Wood's Crossing. must have noticed some diggings on the side: hill, just beyond Cooper’s Hotel, where tunnels have been ron’in and the surface dirt has been dug away, to wash in thecreek below. All of these diggings have been de- serted, for one reason and another, except one claim, where two men of the name of Manning and Carey bave a railroad track laid across the road, over which they convey their dirt and ‘dump’? it into the washiog ap- paratus placed in the creek below. e men have, time end again, left their claim, but as often returned, contented at length with the moderate wages which it afforded. Day before yesterday, it seems, in the forenoon, they were rewarded for their perseverance by the dis- covery of & rich quartz vei, the gold predominating over the rotten quartz with which it was in contact. Our informant stetes that on that day they they took out $4,000, and as yet the vein exbibits no sign of giving out. The gold is in chunks, and can be separaced from the rot- ten quartz with a jacknife. This may be truly considered a rich lead. Dovexse Lowp or Gown —We are informed, says the Sacramento Union, by Mr. Young, who has just como down from Nevada, that on Friday a micer brought into that place a lump of gold mixed with quartz, which ex ceeded in size any ever before seen in tho:e diggings The «pecinen weighed some forty-five or fifty pounds, of which twenty five pounds consisted of pure gold. A gentleman just in from Hangtown reports that city ix considerable excitement about rome rich leads that have been «truck on the hill. Oa2 claim iu said to have paid $5,000 in three days, aud in another four buckets of earth are snii to have yielded respect- ively $600, $400, $80, and $360, The miners about Columbia were never doing so well as now, and meny of the business men are well em- ployed. One banking firm in Columbia bas purchased on an average $23,000 of gold dust exch week for the last four weeks, and its business is still increasing. ‘The Sonora Herald understands that measures are be- ing taken to consolidate the different quartz companies haying claims on Gold Hill Mountains, s0 as to form one united company, previous to» combined effort to develope satisfactorily the riches which it contains. The miners around Goii Spring are still realizing large pay from their claims. In the claim of Romanes & Con- pey, which has been one of the richest yet discovered, the bones of a mastedon have beon discovered immedi- ately in the vicinity of the poy dirt. Turatrical.—Mrs. Catharine N. Sinclair made her debut at the Sacramento theatre on the J0th May, toa very crowded house. At the conclusion of the performance the was called out, and delivered the following re- warks:— I know no. worda which oxn adequately (xpress to you how sincerely pratefal Ifeol for the kind reception with which you have honored me to-night.

Advices from Hong Kong, to the 27th of April, had reached San Francisco by the clipper Pathfinder. The Hong Kong Register, of the 26th April, reasons thus concerning the effects and probable issue of the civil war now raging in China — The news which will reach England by the outgoing wail will be canvassed both by the governinget and the people. The government, more expecially thé Chancellor of the Exchequer, wiil quake in the dread of losing for a time the revenue which is derived from the tes dutie: the people will fear the loss of the herb upon which they have been so Jong accustomed to depend, and one of its principal bedies—the manufacturing part of the eopaas tion—will fear the Joss of a market, which, alchough rankivg as a very small one, is atill s market. How are the present difficulties toend? Is the Tartar government of the country to be hurled from its high position, and its members driven back into their ancieat and wild fastnerses? Or is 1t awakened to its danger at the ast moment to put forth a power which will effectual- ly put down the rebel forces which are now macsballed against it. Our own opinion is, notwithstanding the ap- parent progress which has been made by the parties who are endeavoring to revolutionise the country, that it will be found the present rulers of China have power enough to hold the position which by force of arms they obtain- ed above two hundred years ago, Whether it will take mouths, or whether it will take years, to bring the coun- try into a state of quietude, is a question most difficult toanswer. Nothirg which bas as yet come under our notice would lead us to think that the heart and soul of the true Chinese portion of ihe empire has been thrown into the struggle. The veritabie Chinaman knows noth- ing. of patriotism. the bieechiess and redskinned denizen of the forest of North America will die rather than quit the huating grounds of his fathers, but it never eauses a thought in the mind of a Chinaman who governs, provided he is allowed to eat his rice in pence—to live, to die as his fathers did betore him, There is one feature in the pre- sent position of affairs which is particularly worthy of notice; it is this : Not a ringle officer of the government, whether military or civil, has thrown himeelf into the rebel ranks. The officers of the present ruling power have preterred death, eitber at the hands of their cap- tors or at their own, to the going over to the ranks of the enemy. The Lieutenant Governor of Kiang su has addressed formal application to the Coneuls and Commissioners of foreign nations atking for aid against the inaurgents. He makes @ special application to the British Commissioner, and then proceeds to sa If the Commissioner of the American nation, with those from Portugal, France, Denmark, and Hamburg, should also have arrived at Shanghae, I hope that they will send messages, and despatch their ships of war and steamers, or merchant vessels, in a combined fleet, 10 surround and exterminate the enemy, so that with one blow the insur- rection way be quelled, and this stinking rabble be anni- hilated; thus tranquilizing the people’s mind, promoting ¢: mmercial intercourse, and removing all hindrances to the mter communicaiion of official despatebes. We extract the following from the Shanghae correspon- drnce of the Horg Kong Kegister :— We have had before us the last week. all the pomp and circumstance of war.

Our Valparaiso Correspondence. Vatparaiso, May 29, 1853. President's Towr—Talcahuano—Concepcion—Colonel. Ron- dizoni—Americans— General Pierce's Election—Ofiica Seekers Abroad—English Influence—Talea. The President of this republic, Don Manuel Montt, hag recently returned from a tour through the southern pro- vinces of the country which were the focus of the revo~ lution of 1851, the year of his accession to power. My attention being by this event attracted te the South, I resolved to visit it, and accordingly took passage in a small brig for Taleahuano, about 200 miles to the south. of this, where we arrived in eight days netwithstanding the strong “‘southers’’ which prevail at this season of the year. As we passed up the noble bay, which is some ten or twelve miles im depth and seven or eight in width, ard at'the head of which tbat place ia situated, I could but think that a great mistake had beem made in making Valparaiso, with its open roadstead and narrow strip of beach, the principal seaport of the country. Talcahuano, I found to be a place of some three or four thousand inhabitants, and I believe is entirely sup- ported by the shipping. The hills around it were covered with verdure—very different from the barren aspect which they present around this place. On my arrival at Concepcion I found that the reception of the Presi- dent, who was still there, had not been very cordial; this waa as sales have been expected; it could nat ba suppored that the high party feeliag, which existed in that plaee during the revolution and which was by no means allayed by defeat, could have #0 soon sul The readers of the Hexacp have probably not for- gotten the principal events connected with that revolu- tion. They must not suppore that it was & revolution for military ascerdancy I'ke the pronunciamentos so freqreat in Mexico. To oné lokirg beceath the surface, it was a contest of principles, not but that many, and prominent: men too, engaged in it trem anything but patriotic mo-~ tives, but mainly it was a struggle between the principles of centralization, and discentiniiation, as represented by the government, with the wealthy élasson the one band, and the revolutiouists, embracing the mass of the people, on the other. Aud the wonder 1s that this strug- gle bad not teken place before. Why, a limited monarchy is democratic compared with the form that prevails here. Centralization, carried to its utmost limit, is dominan’. ‘The government nominates the Senators and representa- | tives, and, of course. backed by such influecee, are elected. ‘The government nominates the governors, or, a¢ they are lpre called, “+ Intendentes,” of the diferent pro- vinces, which correspond to our States, and without the sanction of the goveryment the municipality which should be independent cavuot appropriate over $25 of their own funds This system, could it be to work well im apy cate, is only sdepted to a country where com- moutication is easy with the cevtral power, and not to Chile, where tad reads ond remoteness from the eapital render the action of the government in many eases almo: + Lugatory, aed causes the system to be extremely preja- ‘igal to the interests of the more distant provinces. ‘his system, many inteliiyeut aud patrio‘ic men throagh- out the country, and especiully in the more northern an! southern provinces. wished to see changed for a more de- mocratic form. This, in 1851, they endeavored to effect by legal means; but, failing in these, appealed to arms, and were defeated, I should ssy, that notwithstanding the despotic form of the Leairgee pt thioking men are of opinion that at piesens it is only one adapted to the country, aud thet ansrciy would ensue were a more liberal form adopted. The President remaived in Concepcion some eight or ten days. duying this time he vicited the coal mines at Coronel and Lota, which bid fair to be a very productive branch of industry for rhe South. From the mines ef the first named place, the ill-fated steamer City of Pittsburg, which was burot in this bay in October Tact, was sup- plied, To those who h»ve read the statement of the sur- [ae and purser of that vessel, pubdiished in the San ‘yancisco papers, it is unnecessary to say that the coal she bed on board could in no possible way have csused that disas’er, .

Tuere have not yet lest their spirit of nationality, and still t interest in what transpires at home, both in the political and moral world.
