On Tuesvay, the i(1n of May, says the Humboldt Times, while hunting cattle in the Yager creek country, James C. Ellison discovered some twenty or more Iudisns, who had killed some catile aud were packing off the meat. He immediately returned tocamp, informed the boys of the discovery, and they went to moulding bullets and preparing to follow them tll night, and then attack them. When they had perfecied their arrangements they started, five in number, and travelied about oae aad @balf miles, when they came on the band of Iadiaus, where, it seems, they had apparently secreted Ihemael ves, bd were prepared to fight, evidently expecting an atiack.

THE GUAYMAS RAILROAD PROJECT. The Alia California says:—Some two months ago we published severa: asticles in relation to the Guaymas Toad project. We took occasion then to state that there ‘Ww @ strong movement on foot to make Gaaymas the Pacific terminus of a trans conticental railroad, and aliud ©% locircumstances which bad transpired waich went (ar to prove that men bigh io station at Washington were in- teresicd in the movement Al! that we then stated was eactiy true, and the only reagon that the subject has not ere this seriourly agitated the public mind 1s Decause the pprogrees of the scbeme bas been delayed through the poli- Sical difficulties in Mexico, a well as those nearer home. Taos Guay was scheme is particularly a eectional one. It Wag originated by Southern mco with a view to the con- struction of a Southern Atientic and Pacific Railroad that should have both of its termini south of the line which is generally covsidered to mark the political division be- tween North and South. The Soutnorn Pacific Railroad now in process of construction throngh Texas, is part and parcel of the scheme, it being tntenced to extend that road toGusy mas, instead of San Francieco, provided their plans d» not miscarry, which latter result we bave no hesi- taney in taying will probably be the only one that will flaally be brought about. GOLD MINING ON VANCOUVER ISLAND. A private letter saye:—There are parties of men now working succesefully at Nettinett S.und, a place you visited Just semmer, I believe. They are making $4 a day pretty stead ly, and eometimes$5, AtSao Juan ‘vor, to which Place u third party bas gone,pow altogether thirty men, they are represented as making $5 dally tothe man. The gold found st these places is coarser than that of Fraser river, though no large pieces bave yet been seen. Gold has been drovght down from Fort Rupert (north end of Van- couver Island) by Indians. I saw a sample purchased of them by Mr. Treweek, very bright and apparently of high standard value. The Indians wished to show where it could be found, and said there was ‘“hiyu gold” aboat “ope aon” from Rupert. A steamer has since left here for that point. DISGUSTED FRASER RIVERITES.

NEW BUILDING MATERIAL DISCOVERED IN SOLANO COUNTY. A corresp ndent of the Benicia Herald calls attention to the superior builaing qualities of a rock which is found in S@bundance in Green and Suisun valleys, Solanocounty. He Femarks that it is eoft, light and readily formedinw any she. It grows hard by exposure to light and air, and rer beo'ute'y the action of the hottest fire. It is a wrfect, Or almost perfect, non conductor of heat. It Bes been tested in tho furnace of a steam mill, to ascertain ite relative value in such constractions, and found iacom- rebly superior to all otber material heretofore in use. it possesses no power of expansion whatever, and would form the most perfect crucibies for melting ores, The San Diego Herald says thet General Wm.

At the sailing of the steamer of the 20th ult. it had deen anticipated tout the fair trade doing by the jobbers throughout the preceding fortaight, would have brought them into the market for fresh supplies and a more fa- vorablo condition of business was looked forward to. Such bag not been the resuit, and the cause of the disap- polntmen: is not cifficult of explanatioa, Tne continued heavy ebipmr pts advised ag occurring from domestic At- japtic ports and from all quartera whence goous are ven- torcd to this market, have dies pated ali hopes of the re. covery of prices within the current business season, Im- porters have evidently arrived at the conciusion that macy of the goois now here acd advised as in transit, moié particularly that portion shipped trom New York and Bosten during April, will require to be held ‘brovgh next winter before a market can be found for them. Acting under such conviction, and guide! in tome instances by imperative iestructions from ehippers to dispose of their good, the course pursued by importers for the past two months, in storing cont )gnmr bts aud pertiag with them spariagiy a8 buyers preeoted themselves, has been abandoned,and they are pow relersof their stocks at whatever price is availab 0, ‘The conse quence bas been @ further decline even from the tate depressed prices, with a general giving way of the market, and the disposition of iavoices through the auc- tion rooms by private sale to country buyers in such & way as to cut Of the jobbers mostly from their usual custom, AdvanceWas we now ere ta the eeagon, we can- Rol expect avy further itaproyement of the country de- mand. For, aithough the more remote sectious of the in- terior bave pot takea their required supplies, yet by the time goods can be transported Lo ail quarters with facility ; the veur at ome dewand wilt be less animated than at Ppresen', (be teason may be prolouged, but without the at- tomment of avy greater activity than is now apparent, Tbe quantity of goods going out of the market is large, but present and coming sup- piles are #0 excessive as Ww derive no favorable in uence from a trade that has been over estimated by those who bave stocked us with merchandise until it has even become difficult to provide storage. Tacro have becn two tmportant public saies of coffee avd flour, the particu- lara of which will bo found noted in our special remarks. Most of the business of the week bas been throagh the suction rooms, aud the market leaves off at a material decline since the date of our last report, and with a digpo- sition on the part of holders to realizs upon their goods whenever an opportunity offers. From domestic Atlantic ports we have been without further arrivals since our laet report, although a number of veersels are coneidera- by beyona the average pastage, and are not without their effect in further depressing the market. The follow- ‘wg bave reached port since our last notive:—Barreda Bros. from Manila and Hong Kong; Hebe from Liverpool; Geo, Raynes from Calcutta; Ida from Callao, and brig Stiatton from Rio Janeiro. A tolerabio fair inquiry has existed for money since the departure of the mail steamer of the 20th inst., but the reies sre unchanged, say 2a 234 per cent per month on collateral.

TELEGRAPBIC. BUSINESS PROSPECTS AT SAN FRANCISCO—ARRIVALS | AND DEPARTURES OF VESSELS—MEETING OF THE OREGON LEGISLATURE—ACCOUNTS FROM FRASER RIVER, ETO. Sr. Lovis, June 22, 1859, The Overland mail arrived here last evening, bringing dates from California as late ag the 30th ult. The papers are almost entirely barren of news. Business at San Francisco was very dull, with no prospect of a very speedy revival, owing to the large stocks of merchandise on hand. Eastern shippers are cautioned against further shipments. The following ships had arrived at San Francisco eince the departure o the mail of the 27th, viz:—Flying Child- ers, and Hornet, from Boston, and Gauntlet, from Hong Kong. The following ships had sailed:—Andrew Jackson, for New York; Nonpareil, for Shanghae. Advices from Oregon state that the Legislature met at Salem on the 16th of May; Luther Elkins was chogen President of the Sonate, and W. G. L. Fault Speaker of the House. Judge Williams, and Mr. Grover, late a repre- sentative in the Legislature, are the most prominent can- didates to supersede Delazon Smith in the United States Senate. The news from Fraser river continues to be of a dis- couraging nature, and the shipments of gold from there arc very small. Governor Douglas had issued a decree, providing for the naturalization of aliens after a three years’ residence in the Territory. News from South America, By the bark J. D. Chadbourn, oneof the Paraguay ex- Pedition coal vessels, we have dates from the port of Ro- sario, where she loaded with hides and wool, up to the 28th of April. It was expected that the invasion of Buenos Ayres by General Urquiza would take place in the course of the eneuing month. The governors of the proy- inces of the Argoutine Confederation have been calling their fellow citizens to arms through proclamations and otherwise, whilst on the other hand Buenos Ayres is mak- ing strenuous efforts to increase ber force sufficiently to withetand the shock of Urquiza’s gaucho army. Caldo, who was,lately banished from Buenog Ayres, had arrived at Rosario, and was enthusiastically received by the people of that city. It was reported that a Paraguay steamer, proda- bly the Teguari, was being fitted out at Asuncion for the conveyance of Lopez’s son to this country, who is charged, it will be remembered, with the exebarge of our late treaty with Paraguay and a fica} gettiement of the claim of the Navigation Company. Our Consul at Rogario had been offered a passage in her for some members of his family—a happy thought on the part of President Lopez, and indicative of some restored good feeling. Captain Page, witb hie exploring steamors, cad arrived at Rosario, was cordially greeted, and left for Aruncion on the of April. fe aball observe the movements of those two little steamers ani Capiain Page's gallant party with exceeding interest. ‘he bark Wenbam was expected to gail from Rosario for this countay in about ten days, with a cargo of wool evd hides. The captains of 0 vessels bave expe- rienced no difficulty in reaching Rosario. They are confi- dent, that with the knowledge of Martia Garcia bar which they could le in one or two more trips, they could ensily ascend the river to that place with no other pilos than Captain Page’s charts. Naval Intelligence. The United States frigate Cumberland, Commander Jobn 8, Miesroon, was at Madeira June 1.

SOUTHERN PRO SLAVERY OPPOSITION, William L Goggin, Va. SUMMARY, Opposition, ‘Total number of aspirante..........sceceseeesseees a In the above list there are a number on whom itis as- serted depends the salvation of the parties to which they belong. For instance, the ‘hard’ journals of this State assert that the democratic party can be saved from utter ruin only by the nomination of Dickinson, while the “softs” are equally certain that Horatio Seymour must bo nominated or all is lost. The Eastern aemocracy,as well ‘as that of Illinois, say that Mr. Douglas is the only man who can gave the party in the coming campaign, while the Southern journals tell us that Douglas is just the man to ruin it. In Pennsylvania the oppositionists believe that Simon Cameron, and him only, can carry that State, and without Pennsylvania the republicans can never succeed. Tho ultra republicans think that Seward is the man to carry every Northern State, and the cnly candidate in his party that can goto the White House through the ballot box. Banks and Chase are also considered in some quar- ters as the salvators of black republicanism, while the poor Know Nothings and old line whigs cauno’ flad a man on whom they can place the shadow of a hope to carry a ingle State. Piatrorm oF Henry A, Wise.—The Richmond Enquirer publishes the following as the ‘‘Cardinal Democratic Prin. ciples on the Slavery Question,” which, we suppose, forms the platform upon which Goy. Wise will go before the Charleston Convention :— Absolute non-interference by the gencral government.to introduce or to exclude glaves in any of the Territories of the Union. No federal slave code. No Co dis- crimipation in favor of slave property in tue Territories, and no Congressional discrimination against it. When- ever in apy of the Territories the safety of slave persons or the right of slave properiy, or the right or safety of any description of persons or property, is unconstitutionally fled, it is the power and duty of Congress, not leas of any and every other department of the general governwent, to exercise its proper functions for the se- curity of equal protection to the 4 and safety of every ‘cles of persons and property, 1 full and unimpaired right of popular sovereignty, entitling the peopie of each Territory, on application for their admission as a new State into the Union, to enact their own State constitution, by a fair and full reference to a ular vote, without force, frand or federal dictatien, and by such constitation to provide for the maintenance or the prohibition of the institution of slavery as to them may seem best. Ex-Governor Foor —Hon. H. 8. Foote some time since announced hig determination to run for Congress in the Fourth district of Mississippi. He: ‘subsequently, however, concluded to forego the pleasure, and hauled off the course. He then went to a Southern plantation and marriod a Pretty widow, and now, on his eturn home with his now wife, be comes out and states that he ie bound to run, that he will not suomit his claims to a convention, but ‘will take the stump as an independent candidate. Getting married has made him boid. Kxow NorginGisM iv Tue Sovra.—In Louisiana Ameri- canism ig no longer in the fleld of national politics, It will present no candidates of ite own for Congress, but Will co operate harmonioasly with the democracy in tho canvass of 1860 for President.
