G NEW YORK “HERALD, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1859.-TRIPLE SHEET. ' news of the treaty of peace. Du the day the Sar- | ed onthe 16th inet.:—Captain, William Burns; Lieuten- flag was in many places visible, draped in crape, ‘ed to half mast, and the doors of certain houses had a lyric by Victor Hugo, denunciatory x Napoleon, fastened to them. It was rumored’ it the effigy of Napoleon would be burned in the Plaza, but this and other things threatened did not come of. The mentions that there were ru- mors during the afternoon that an inimical demonstra- tion would be made in front of M. Gautier’s residence, and that an attempt would be made a's certain class to take down the Consular flag. Soon rv eight o’clock a number of Frenchmen assembled on Stockton street, de- termined to prevent this outrage. They remained for se- veral hours on the ground in expectation of the anticipated assault; but none took place. Opinions were expressed strongly condemnatory of the conduct of the per- sons who had in & most unbecoming manner of- fered an insult to the French Consul when leaving the church of Notre Dame. Conversation turned on Italian affairs, and on this topic the views seemed to be in favor of the policy of the Emperor in agreeing to a treaty of peace. The sentiment of the French population, as manifested last night, is decidedly pro Napoleon.’ A very large meeting of French citizens was held at the house of Layfayette Hook and Ladder Compa. ny repudiate and denounce the outrage, and after the adoption of suitable resolutions, the multitude assembled proceeded to the dwelling of M. Gautier, the consul, and, through their chairman, gave that gentleman snita” bie assurances of the reprobation in which they held the authors of the affront that was offered him. ‘The press is unanimous in condemnig this red republi- can demonstration. Citizens of al) classes join beartly in the sentiment, and the opinion has gained strength that lapoleon, in keeping such professed republicans down, only consults the interests of order and the good of France. We consider their outrageous conduct a specimen of what they would do if they only had the power.—[If the red republicans had received the news of the amnesty granted vy the Emperor, which left this port on the 5th ult,, this outbreak would doubtless never have occurred.—Ep. Heratn.} A NEW PLAN FOR BUILDING A PACIFIC RAILROAD. A Frenchman who resides at Los Angelos is out with ‘ novel plan for building a Pacific Railroad. He proposes that a grand lottery be organized, and 6,000,000 tickets sold, at $5 each, amounting in all to $30,000,000, with which the road is to be constructed. The only prizes are to be shares of stock. The drawing of the lottery to take place in New York, where the chief business ofliee should be, un. der the protection of the government. One-tenth of the value of the prizes to be withheld to pay expenses, and for the benefit of the road, Prizes not claimed within two years after the drawing to be the property of the author of the project. This scheme would hardly be successful, though doubt- jess the man who has put it forward remembers that in France a few years ago a gigantic lottery was used to promote emigration to California, and that thousands of Frenchmen now here were provided with passages by the protits that accrued. Horace Greeley has a theory also for building the road, which he announced last Wednesday but as it is not very original the Los Angelos man over the New Yorker an advantay An election for delegates to the Pa Railroad Conven tion , to be held in this city September 20, has been called. It takes place next Saturday. Oregon, Washington Ter. ritory and Arizona are to be represented.

REOPENING OF THE MOHAVE WAR. At the time when the expedition of Colonel Hofman an Francisco for the Mohave country, some mouths ‘nce, it was announced through the press that th would be no attempt to chastise the Indians in that coun try for their previous robberies and mnrders, for utter!y breaking up the Stockton and Atboquargse, route, and for their continually in nt conduct; the expedition imply to establish and insist'upon a military post in that region. In common with some of our coniempora- ries, We remonstrated at this plan, knowing as we did the utter want of honor or faith in ap Indian, even if they agreed to the proposition. At an enormous expense, and with untold fatigue, one thousand men, with their supplies ry, from Fort Yumas, went over deserts and ins of sand, several bundred miles, to the heart lohave country, and Colonel Hoffman made a .”’ in which the scoundrel Mohaves promised every nd anything. Several surrendered themse $ :, but promptly ran away afterwards from Fort , Where they were confined, On that occasion nine Indian prisoners were killed. by the guard, By the overland mail, which arrived at Los Angeles 112, Capt. Hancock , Uni States Army, received gence from Fort Mohave that the Indians continued their hortlity, and that the troops under Major Arm: tead were engaged in pursuing them. Firing was going on between the parties when the express left, and the huts and crops of the Indians were being destroyed. Despatches have been received by Captain Hancock from General Clark, and forwarded immediately to Major Armistead. Orders have been giyen by the General to detain the herd of cattle until joined by au escort. Since tho foregoing was written we have learned that another despatch has been received by Capt. Hancock, containing details of Indian depredations. They have de stroyed the garden at the post. Three of them swam up to the bank where a boat was fastened, and attempted to steal it; the sentinel fired on them, and thinks he killed one of them; the others e: Next morning, on exa- mining the locality w tinel was stationed, into the bank.

Deceased tnd a man named Kelly were riding ina | buggy, when, according to the latter’s statement, they ap- proached a man standing in front of a drinking saloon known as the Odeon. The buggy brushed against this person, when an altercation ensued, then a fight, and O’Keete fell to the ground. The police were summoned, and on examination the lifeless body of O'Keefe was found, having received a wound near the left nipple, evi- dently inflicted with a very slender and sharp pointed weapon, A pair of Scissors was discovered about six feet trom the wounded man. It appears that O'Keefe spent the evening at the Odeon, where Kelly remained part of the afternoon, and left at eleven o'clock. This house was kept by a woman named Catherine Santanes. The mur- der was committed at three in the morning. Louis Hyde, James Burns and the female, allof whom were in the house when O'Keefe left, have been arres According to Kelly's description, George Mack, who had been drink- ing in the Odeon other parties in prison, is the person who inflicted the fatal stab. Deceased was a na. tive of Longford, Ireland, aged twenty-six years, and a blacksmith by profes He wrs much respected by employe d the reputation of being a man honest and upright. Considerable mystery still haugs over the affair: iy is not free from ‘suspicion. ‘Thomas Roach, who killed Sartin Gallagher, has been acquitted after a trial in the Fourth District Court, whicl lasted over two days. Gallagher was one of the expa- triated by the Vigilance Committee, and received $3,000 damages against the master of (he ship which carried him to the Sandwich Islands. The verdict, which was ren- sterday morning, is a strange one. Had the me facts been submitted to a jury in the case of another en who had been killed, it would have fared different with the perpetrator i ‘This morning, much to the surprise of the public, eman named John Jay Barmore publishes a card in the Herald acknowledging that he killed O’Keete, and stating that he surrendered himself to the officers of the law.

Lieutenant Marshall was directed to follow with a reinforcement of twenty-five men carly next morn- ing by the main trail. Major Armistead succeeded in gaining the head of the lagoon by a circuitous route, un- observed by the Indians, during the cover of night. ‘At about six o'clock on the morning of the 5th he com- menced to reconnoitre down the left bank of the lagoon. ‘The trails leading down showed heavy signs of Indians. He had not proceeded more than a quarter of a mile when three Indiaus were espied on the opposite side of the la- goon planting beans; three men crawled up to the bank and fired upon them and killed one; the others fled and gave the yell, which soon the whole country about seem- ed to reverberate. After proceeding about half a mile further through heavy thickets of arrow wood, the Major thought it prudent to return to the head of the lagoon, as the Indians apparently were gathering in large force. Here at the head of the lagoon, ‘on the right bank, he took a position, the men deployed in groups of four each, at about twenty paces interval, occupying the high grounds on the edge of the lagoon. The lagoon here is about twen- ty-five yards wide. On the opposite side of the lagoon from this position is a dense thicket of arrow wood; along the bank of the lagoon, a tew scattering cotton wood. To the rear of the position, and close up, is a grove of mesquit, the ground open and clear underneath. Here they awaited the Indians, which was not more than twenty minutes, when they commenced to show them- selves in large force, surrounding the positéoh, and closing inon all sides, within short rauge of the rifle-muskets, which were soon brought into play with deadly effect. Major Armistead thus fought them for three-quarters ofan hour, against overwhelming numbers, which were in- creased every moment by the arrival of fresh warriors from the more distant places, when Lieutenant Marshall arrived with the reinforcement of twenty-five men. The lieutenant had heard the fring when yet some four miles from the scene, and burried his men up at double quick. The Indians upon the extreme right were taken very un- expectedly by the arrival of the party in their rear, which Lieutenant Marshall immediately charged, driving them from their position. Major Armistead, learning the proximity of the second party, immediately ordered « sergeant and eight men to cross the lagoon and charge the In- dims in front in the arrow wood, which was uccessful, and drove the Indians beyond gunshot. Major Armistead, recalling these men from the opposite side, ordered Lieut. Marshall to cross and take a position on that side. The Indiang, though forced to retreat, were not beaten; they soon rallied and returned to the fight, attacking the party of Lieut. Marshall with great. pertina- city; this continued for some ten or fifteen minutes, when he was ordered to fall back, re-cross the lagoon, and take a position facing to the rear parallel to the first party, a3 the Indians were showing a disposition to charge the posi- tion on all sides at the same time. Not liking this ma- nauvre, they withdrew themselves out of reach of gun- shot, giving occasionally afew random yells, The men, finding nothing more to do, crowded under the shade of the mesquit trees, as the sun was very hot; they re- mained for about two hours without being disturbed. Major Armistead, believing the Indians to have given up the fight, ordered the command to fall in, 4nd com- menced the march back to the fort. The command had not proceeded far when the Indians again rallied, crossed the Jagoon at the position just Jeft in great numbers. Major Armistead, anticipating the attack, halted the command, faced by the rear rank and deployed them on the bank uf the lagoon, which was here wide and deep. The whole body of Indjans came ronning up, yelling and whooping, and charged fearlessly upon the command, the bravest of them coming up to within ten and fifteen yards ‘of the muzzles of the rifles; these, however, pald dearly for their temerity; the steady and well directed fire of the men held them in'check, when after thirty minutes hard lighting Major Armistead ordered the command to charge them, which was done fearlessly. The Indiaas raised and broke in every direction, perfectly discomfted; not 4 yell or sound of any kind was to be heard from them after this; the victory was complete. Twenty-three In- dians were found dead close to the position; the ground fnrther off was not reconnoitered. In fact, many were seen carrying the dead and wounded from the field, It is supposed that eome fifty or sixty have been killed. Of the command three men were slightly wounded. The command returned to the fort on the evening of the 6th instant. Marriages and Deaths in California. MARRIED. ¥ Berrm—Dains.—In Grass Valley, August 7, by Rev. F. B. Fish, William Bettis to shay.

The following were the imports Per Santa Cruz, from Mazatlan Iden Gate, from Panama. $50,861 In Mexican dollars there have been no transactions, although there is a fair demand.

The China- men are hence in a quandary, as they are afraid to risk the substitution of American dollars. ‘The amount of money in the State treasury at the com- mencement of business, August 15, was $417,895 77. In regard to the stock market, we have to remark that but little change has taken place during the fortnight. A few sales of Oty sixes, of 1858, were made at S4c., and a few shares of California Steam Navigation stock were sold at 43c. ‘These constitute the transactions of the last fort- night.

REVIEW OF THE MARKET. San Francisco, August 18—Eveni ng. In certain descriptions of goods a. moderately active business has been transacted during the fortnight inter- vening since the sailing of the last ocean mail. Ouf refe- rence to the market, under date of the 3d inst., mentioned recent heavy accessions to supplies, and a general indis- position on the part of the trade to purchase with any de- gree of liberality. Meanwhite arrivals, except from and the East Indies, have been light, a better demand from the country has eusued, and there has been a cor- responding disposition to take goods from the hands of importers. In some articles a slight improvement in prices is to be noted, in others again holders have evinced more firmness; but to sum up all the changes that pave occurred, we can state that they amount more to a Check to the downward tendency that our market has evinced bie many months back than to any positive improvement prices. There is still great hesitation as to whether the stand that the market has been brought to can be successfully maintained. It has originated from several different cir- cumstances, and the discontinuance of the operation of either of them would have an unfavorable effect. The country demand has been the primary@ cause, and exer- cised the greatest influence. A concerted action among importers of Kast India and China produce has nominally given the market for that class of goods greater firm- ness, and the former frequent sacrifices at public sale have temporarily ceased; but transactions haye at the fame time been almost entirely checked, and the move- ment in the quarter noted has not yet commanded the ac- quiescence of purchasers. Importers of goods from At- Jantic ports have pretty generally, we understand, been instructed to hold their consignments for an improved market, and have latterly shown less anxiety to realize. Receipts of additional supplies have been light, and thus a variety of causes haye combined to produce a slight for the better. But it is obvious that we have an immense surplus stock of nenrly al) descriptions of mer- chandive, that will require a continued heavy demand to make way with, while the market is at all times at the mercy of the disposition or necessities of present holders and receivers of further supplies in expectancy. Under such circumstances buyers feel their ground very cau- tiously and regulate their operations by their own daily sales, without yielding to the temptation of the rule of rates so much Within the cost of importation. Consump- tion is controlling the market, and not price. There is a strong feeling of uneasiness among all parties engaged in the trade as to the course that will be pursued by. shippers from domestic Atlantic ports. Apprehensions are entertained that the true condition of affairs with us is not proveriy appreciated. It is feared that this market will not ¢ granted the extent of required relief by the cessation of shipments until something like a fair proportion of supply and demand can be reinstated. In this connection, we have to make the suggestion that a reduction of the num- ber of cargoes in transit to this port will not establish the fact that the goods that have come here have been con- sumed. Our warehouses are so burthened that even the proverbial recklessness of California speculation is de terred from venturing. And we do notat present see how the least encouragement to ship further can be de- rived by parties abroad. We Pion. the remark used in our last fortnightly review, that there will be ample time to take advantage of a healthy market, as it is inevitably remote, while to forestall any improvement will assuredly tend to its defeat, ‘The arrivals during the fortnight have been the Chal- lenger, from Now York; Mastiff, from Hong Kong; Black Sea and Ammesjang, from Batavia; Lacy L. Hale, from Bangkok; Aspasia, from Kodiac; Onward, from Mel- bourne; and Fanny Major, from Carmen Island. THE SAN JUAN DIFFICULTY. Our San Francisco Correspondence. San Franowoo, July 20, 1850.

Having arrived, we found the place in great confusion. The citizens, refusing to pay the heavy taxes imposed upon them by the government, have re- belled; and on Friday Jast, the 19th inst., they took pos- session of the town, and baye since organized a consider. able corps of soldiers. The whole town is under arms, and presents a very warlike appearance. The southern approaches have been strengthened by redoubts, on which some very heavy pieces of ordnance haye been placed. The soldiers appear well drilled and efficient, and the justice of th will no doubt lend them determina tion in the anticipated struggle with the government troops. The iers of their march from Bogota, with the intention of nipping the government are now on the rebollion in the bud; but itis feared the disturbance is of a more aggravated nature than the government is sare of.

The new government (State) under Nieto has been completely organized, and a milita- ry force has been raised to defend it. The overthrown Governor has named Mompos, thirty leagues from Cartha- gena, on the Magdalena, his capital, and General Posado is organizing a force there with which to restore ‘‘order.”’ The only show of fighting as yet was at Corosal, below Mompos, where the troops of the new government at- tacked those of Governor Calvo. The latter, however, having fortified themselves in the churches and other edi- fices, the former were forced to retire, neither side having received any damage.

THE AUSTRALIAN MAIL ROUTE BY PANAMA-—~-RUN. OF THE STEAMSHIP GUATEMALA FROM NEW YORK. {From the Panama Herald, Sept. 2.] ‘The voyage of the steamer Guatemala trom Ni to Panama may be looked upon as the introduction of a new era in steam navigation.

We need no better proot than this of the statement we have already advanced that there is no necessity for ves sels calling at Tahiti or any other port on the trip between Panama and Australia, “If ships are built sufficiently large and suitably constracted they can carry coal for the entire voyage with ease, giving plenty of room for freight and passengers. When the Guatemala left New York it was geocrally surmised she would, like all her predecessors in that voy- age, have to touch at one or two ports on the Way for voal, and it was with no little surprise that people learned on her arrival that she had come direct. Hitherto a leading point in the discussions on the A tralian route has been tie half-way stopping place, but now the place, and the time Jost in calling at it, may both be Jeft entirely out of the question, and the through trip» from port to port may ly be caleulated at ne ing over thirty day: ¢ Golden Age came ove ty-eight running days, but lost eight days coaling at Tahiti. or a quarter of the entire voyage. ‘This subject is well worthy the attention of whatever company may procure tbe Australian mail contract, anc wo trast the facts which it reveals will not be Jost. upon them.
