that nation, particularly those growing out of the 
agitation of the Slavery question, as any outbreak- 
in that connection woulcf involve the whites 
residing in that portion of the country in the 
consequences. No immediate danger is now, 
however, apprehended, the U. S, Indian Agent 
having, by this time, reached the Cherokee Res¬ 
ervation, and will take immediate measures for 
the expulsion of the white intruders. 
Judge Greenwood, the Commissioner of Indian 
Affairs, will leave Washington in the course of a 
few days for thc Pike’s Peak country. In 1851, a 
treaty or arrangement was made with the Arapa- 
hoes and Cheyeunes, which, while it fixed the 
limits within which these Indians might hunt, 
did not acknowledge their title to the land, and, 
on the 6th of September. A resolution endorsing 
Breckenridge and Lane was defeated. 
The call of the State Democratic Committee 
has been published, and the day appointed for the 
Convention, which is the 15th of August, at 12 
M. One delegate from each Assembly District is 
to be chosen.

Californian dates to the 11th have been re¬ 
ceived by tbe Pony Express, which arrived at St. 
Joseph, Mo., on the 26th ult. We condense as

cargo, consisting mostly of California products, 
embracing 2,000 bales of wool, 8,000 sacks of 
The news from the Arizonia gold mines is not 
good, owing to the fact that no water is to be had. 
Provisions arc very scarce, and command very 
high prices. Flons sells at $14 per sack, and is 
scarce. Other provisions in proportion. 
No Indians were seen but a few Kaws. They 
said that a band of Kiowas had been at Crow 
Creek awaiting the mail, for tbe purpose of rob¬ 
bing it, but were driven off by a company of sol¬ 
diers from Texas, who were en route for Pawnee 
Forks. 
Major Sedgwick’s command, sometime in June, 
came in sight of a large encampment of Indians, 
but not beiDg prepared for battle, before they 
could get ready the Indians left. 
No rain this side of Fort Union, and the water 
ent interference. If Turkey, however, proves 
incapable, these two governments have agreed 
upon identical instructions to the Admiral to 
stop the massacres. At the destruction of the 
villages, the Druses killed more than 2.000 un¬ 
armed men in cold blood. There was great alarm 
at Beyrout, and the Franks and Christians had 
taken refuge on board the foreign men of war. 
China.— The Calcutta mail of Jnne 14th, and 
that from Hong Kong of May 23d, had reached 
England. 
A Canton telegram of May 22d, reports the

progress against tbe Imperialists. 
ChuBam was in charge of Commissions. 
The British forces had left for Peiho, and a

the possession of permanent homes, and induced 
to change their present mode of procuring a pre¬ 
carious subsistence. 
No census returns have yet been officially
