( Loa Angeles and San Bernardino, renders the b.-t medium !'<>r li.*- Men-ha nt and Tr.i- dei ot this Oity, aadespnceadly, of Baa Francisco toi advex Saturday, - November 10,1855, INDIAN AFFAIRS. Recent manifestation)! bare increased the anxiety ofeur citizens relative to Indian nftiiirs, and It in tbe belief of lhop,e well informed in such matters, thai II behooves tbe Federal Government to act with great circumspection, or it will bo precipitated into Indinii difficulties »B formidable ai those In Oregon. Not only have our subptantial citizens been disquieted by minora of impolitic change in our In' dian policy—not only have they deprecated u threatened removal of the Sebastian Reserve, but wo are Informed that the subject baa attracted the attention of the Indiana themselves, has been talked of over their council-ftreu in the Tulare Valley, debated in the Ranclieriaa, scattered along the San Bernardino, San Gor«ouiti and Sun Jaolntc mountains. Upon the Reserve itself, this subject has excited the alarm of the longhaired Indian? of the Tulare, and we understand that deputations have called npon the agents of the Government for an explanation, whether the solemn promises made by Lieutenant Bealc on behalf of tho Government, and reiterated by Col. Henley, that the LVjou ..' i! signaled as a permanent homo for them, were to he violated and disregard d like the treaties ofOols. Barbour, Wossencraft and MoKee. Those Of our readers, who were resident in this county at the time of Antonio G.irru's Insurrection, will recollect that it was preceded by complaints from the [ndhws that the county oi San Diego was collecting taxes frcm them. Several months ago, wo understand that the same complaint was made by the Indians, whether weTJ founded or not wc do notfcaow; and following upon that wc hear that the Indiana in Ban DlegO county are exhibiting signs of rest less-mesa. The matter is susceptible of ready explanation; as the exaction of taxes ceased about tbe time of the establishment of the Sebastian Reserve, the Indians have ascribed their exemption since to tho influence of that establishment; and now, following a report of the intended removal of that Reserve, comes h renewed demand for taxes, so that the two movements seem some way to bo connected together. We, of course, aro well aware how unfounded ia this supposed connection, but the belief in it amongst the Indians establishes the fact that the Government should bo very prudent iu not affording any evidence to favor it. Our cotemporary, the Southern Califomian, has for a long time been engaged in tho work ot annihilating Col. Henley, the Sebastian Reserve ami the Reserve system generally. What space -could be spared from abusing our naturalized clti- xens, furnishing the history of swimming horses and sham duels, aud tho achievements of Mr. Hunt, the Common Councilman elect, has been devoted to attacking a system inaugurated by its friend, Lieut. Beale, and approved by every old ■and responsible settler, amongst whom we have only to mention our Senator elect, B. D. Wilson, Esq.. to insure that respect for the policy, which his high character, unblemished reputation and large experience in ludian affairs, commands for himself, and not only thus inaugurated and thus approved, but actually in the full tide of successful operation, giving and bestowing upon us the •thousand blessings of peace and security, A machine constructed like the Southern Califomian and possessed only ofthe power of ejecting abuse and discoloring truth, a machine which draws its sustenance from a country, against whose interests and property it would recklessly arm the ■wild savage, whose unprotected citizens it would oxpose to Indian Otttchery,for the only gratification of opposing an able and fearless public officer like Col. Henley, and attacking an Administration, like the present, has merited and has obtained the disapprobation of every enlightened inhabitant ofthe South. That it should attack the present Superintendent ia a matter that can bo understood from Its Know Nothing and Anti-Democratic sympathies, that it should apeak of his management And crti- oiee it, is the legitimate function ofa freo and independent opposition press; but that it should ad. Tocate a policy that would jeopardise the immense herdBtif cattle in this county, worth about two mil lions of dollars, would expose our frontier ranch- ob and settlements to destruction, that would depreciate our real estate and light tho torch of a fierce Indian war, is beyond the comprehension of those men who look to their country's good as rule of action. For ourselves we repeat what we have already said, that there is not a responsible and intelligent citizen in the six Southern counties, who docs not ■rejoice in our peaceful relations with the Indians, in our neighborhood and who would not characterize that man or public ofncer,wbo menaced their ■continuance by rash changes or experiments, as the wanton and malicious enemy of the whole South. We confidently believe that our prosperity, as far as our Indian policy can affect it, is connected "with Ihe preservation of tho Reserve system, and the continuance of the Sebastian Reserve where it now is; and we caunot believe that any personal feeling or local hills,enee can induce the Government to put in peril so much real prosperity and material progress, as k exhibited by the Southern counties, for the purpose of huzurdiug new experiments. Tho Fall of Sevastopol. The most exciting newB wc have this week to lay before our readers is the cap hire of Sebastopol, which has withstood the combined forces of England. Pnnoe and Turkey for the space of nearly one year. The news of the fall of this famous fortress was received in France and England with the most unbounded rejoicings, unsurpassed since the close of the great war forty yenra ago. At tbe theatres and various places of amusement the news waa officially announced, and the bands played the national anthems ol England and France. Salutes (Pen Bred, the church bells rung forth merry peals, the streets were thronged aud the greatest excite* meat prevai'cd, and cheer alter cheer rent the aii iu honor ot the glorious victory. People flocked from the country into tho cities, which added to the general enthusiasm, and nothing was heard but expressions of joy and admiration at the success of the Allies. The Allies attacked four different points simultaneously, none of which were successful, except the French, who attacked the Mala- kott Tower. The English did succeed in taking the Great Redan and the Central Bastion, but as soon &b the garrison had retreated the Russian guns from other batteries were brought to bear. aud the English were compelled to retreat in turn' Tbe success of the French decided the day, for as soon aa they were masters of the Malakofl, they held the key of the whole place, and the bombard* ment of the city was renewed with increased vigor and fierceness. The Allies opened such "an infernal fire," as Gortschakoff calls it in his dispatch, that the whole southern part of the city was soon in a blaze, nnd was completely reduced to ashes. The Russian position in Northern Sebastopol it- one cf immense strength. It completely commands the harbor, and effectually prevents the Allied fleet from entering tbe roadstead and port. It is, however, contended that the Russian* cannot long hold the northern portion of the town, but will soon be obiged to evacuate it — Tho losses of the Allies during the attack, whicl lasted four days, is estimated at ten thousand killed and wounded. The loss of the Russians, comparatively speaking, is very light. Thus ha- One half Of Sebastopol fallen alter a siege 01 nearly one year, at an immense sacrifice of lift and money, Count Nesselrode estimates the los*- of the Allies since the commencement of hostilities as follows :—Turks, 1-10,000 ; French, 40,000: BogliBh, 80,000. The Count contends that Russia will fight until eho is exhausted, that she will wait calmly and resignedly until propositions ol peace aro made, which she can accept without dishonoring her past or future history. The Allies have by their immense fleet complete com mand of the Crimea on three sides, and it il contended that no alternative is left to'Russia bul to retreat into the interior. Fi-om Oregon, By the steamer Columbia, Capt. Dall, which arrived at San Francisco Oct. 30th, from Portland, O. T., wc have dates from that pkico to Oct, 27th. The news is exciting and important. The Indians throughout Oregon aad Washington Territories, and in tho Northern part of California, appear to have united in a common crusade against the whites. The whole Indian country has risen. The settleis, on the other hand, are not idle. In Oregon alone there are three hundred regulars, and [answering the generat call of Gov. Carry.) about nine hundred volunteers, who have resolved, apparently, ou a War of utter extermination of the Indians. Iu Washington Territory several companies of volunteers, {summoned by the Acting Governor,) in addition to tho U. S. soldiers, have taken the ticld.. In Northern California the regulars and volunteers number about live hundred men. The hostile Indiana are supposed to number between five and ten thousand men, though their real strength cannot bo known. Over every part of these immense territories roam bonds of Indi ans, who are burning and otherwise destroying the property, aud taking the lives ofthe white settler: The loss of life among the whites has been very groat. They have partially retaliated upou the Indians, though as yet no effectual check has been given to the ravages ot the latter. But tho time seems to be coming for a terrible revenge. The Oregon forces are concentrating at the Dalles, on the Columbia river, to which pointalready thevol- teer companies have hastened. Tho Columbia, on her last voyage up the coast, carried to Fort- land a company of regulars, together with 1,500 stand of arms, and a large amount of ammunition. This company is said to be composed of picked men, accustomed to fighting Indians. They are under the command of Capt. Ord. Tho different Oregon papers, and particularly the Oregonian, contain numerous letters from various parts cf the country, relating to the ravages ofthe Indians. NEWS FROM THB J\TElUOIt OF THK STATE. By'the arrival of the steamship Senator, at San Pedro or. Tuesday morning, we received ban Francisco dates to tho 4th inst., from which we take tho following summary : fire took place at the Novelty incisco, about noon of the occasioned by the burjjfng of Distillery, San FranciBCO, about noon ofthe id inst. The fire was occasioned by the bujflng the alcohol still, and as the liquor strTfck the A destructive try. San inst. The fire was alcohol still, ....m ..- —- - , flames they were soon communicated to all around, although it is said that if the necessary means had been at hand they might at first have been arrested before they had communicated to the spirits and other combustibles. As soon, however, as the Barnes reached the spirits the conflagration was general, and the interior of the building was enveloped in flames—there being thirty thousand gallons of liquor in the distillery at the time.— Mr. Isaacs, one of tbe employees attached to the works, was charging the still at the time, and was not only knocked down by the explosion, but was also dangerously scalded. His brother was standing by bis side at the time and received a similar injury. At the time of the explosion there were about thirty persons in tho building who suffered to a greater or less extent, Mr. Carrell, one of the number, was shockingly scalded, and expired about eight o'clock Friday evening. Bernard Bird, also dreadfully scalded, died at an early hour on the same evening, Carrell and the two Mesrss. Isaacs were removed to the house of Mrs. Cun ningham. and received every attention at her hands. Wm. Deal and Mr. Kelly were also severe Messrs. Herscbfidd and Barnett. the Topics ot tlie Day. The Indian war which now rages at the North, and news of which reached us by the last steamer from Oregon, is about to be grappled with by the distinguished veteran commanding the Pacific, Division, with all the energy characteristic of that gallant officer. The whole disposable force at the command of General Wool is to be concentrated at two points,—one division, the operations of which General Wool will direct in person, at Fort Dalle* —and the other at Fort Lane. The General proceeds from this place on Tuesday, on board the steamer California, for Fort Humboldt, and thence to Fort Dalles, from which point he will direct the operations against the enemy. He takes with him tlie eompanv stationed at th-e Presidio, under command of Captain Keyes, aud auother company from Fort Humboldt. The General is accompanied from this eity by Major Cross, at the head of tbe Quartermaster''; Department ; Major Townsend, Assistant Adjutant General,- Captain Cram, Topographical Engineers; and Lieutenants Benny, castle'and Arnold his immediate Aids. I,^,-, quantities of ordnance, subsistence and quartet- masters' stores are being speedily shipped on board the California for the use of tho expedition. There will be then concentrated at Fcrt Dalle* the following force : The company from the Presi- dio ; a company of the Fourth Infantry, from For* Humboldt; one company of the First Dragoons, under command of Major Fitzgerald, who proceed* from Fort Lane to join the expedition, and all tflo disposable troops of the District comprising Fori Vancouver and Fort Da>les, under Major Raines., who has already taken tho field.

St. Johns, of San Mateo, has politely favored U3 with the rumors ot the Indian disaffection among tho Colorado and Cahttllla tribes. That the movements of tho In dians on the plains for several months past is of a very susp'cious character, no one conversant with the facts we suppose will doubt, but wo think however, that there is not so m.ich cause for alarm, as the proceedings,of the settlers at San Gorgonin would at first view indicate. As yet there i*- nothing tangible in the rumors to create any grcal uneasiness among the settlers except the loss of some of their stock. Mr. Washburn's surveying party may have been ordered od from completing their survey to the Colorado River, and Col. Washington may have bad a light as is reported, bul these rumors needs confirmation. We hope tin rumors have beeu displayed in more vivid colors than the circumstances would warrant. Latex From Mexico. By way ot New York we have details of Mexican news dated at Vera Cruz on 22d, and City of Mexico on lGth September. General Carrera resigned the office of Provisional President, because Alvarez, Ootnonfort and Llave refused to meet him at Dolores, in order to arrange a new plan of settled rule. The garrison of Mexico had chosen General La Vega, their Chief, General Tamariz, of San Luis, has a plan, and Vidaurri another, each differing a little from Ayutla. The San Luis plan is regarded as a great drawback to the establishment of law and order in Mexico. Garza and Tamariz were lighting. Joae Lopez de Santa Anna, nephew of the ex-President, had been arrested aud would likely suffer death. General Casanova had gone from Tampico to Vera Cruz, as his supporters had ignored tho plan of Ayutla. Yucatan, Carmen, and other places are said to havo joined the- zevo- lutioaists. General Viadurri had assured Couion- fort (hat he would not treat on the plan of San Luis with any of the Gem tola who had contributed I ™a TsTefd iu'readiness" to attend tb to Santa Anna's overthrow. A party of Americans named " Bowles" had caused much disturbance at Acapulco and other places. Case of Wm. B. Lei-;.—At tha last term of our District Court, this case was sent to Santa Barbara for trial, but inadvertently, it seems, no order made for tho removal of the prisoner. Lee obtain* ed a writ of Habeas Corpus from Hou. B. Hayes, District Judge of this County, which was heard on Thursday. The Judge decided that the defendant from the proof, not being entitled to a discharge, but tho Sheriff of Santa Barbarba county being entitled to his custody, he ought to be removed there by the Sheri0 of L03 Angeles, and accordingly issued a writ for that end. Lee left here yesterday oo the steamer for Santa Barbara. -—-———^«-Oi <1»»c- —■— The Sisters of Mlkcy.-—We are pleased to see that an effort is being made by some of our mosf respectable citizens, to havo a branch of this phil- anfhropic ami benignant society established in this city. The world-wide renown of tho '-Sisters of Mercy," their self sacrificing devotion to the sick and afflicted, without pecuniary reward, would seem to prompt us to give them a sincere aud heart. Celt reception. As ministering angels to the sick and the destitute they have no equals, as fheir deeds of charity and benevolent aid is extended to tho Protestant as well as tho Catholic, without regard to creed or sect. We believe a fine openin presents itself to establish amongst us, an order whose virtue and charity are their acknowledged characteristics, and who extend assistance and consolation to the indigent and the wretched '"without money and without price." Sai/fxk Sp&ikSGAT MreDLEEOWN.—About a hundred yards above the street at Middletown, says the Shasta. Republican, up Olney Creek, rises a medicinal spring in the left bank, a basin for which has been blasted out of the rock by tho citizens. The water possesses salutary qualities well known to all who have resided any length of time in its vicinity. When nearly prostrated with heat or thirst, a person can, with impunity, drink his fill of this water without feeling any of those unpleasant sensations which usually result from an overdraught at ordinary springs. Wc are not aware that this water has ever been analyzed, but should imagine it to contain sulphur and carbonic acid iu abundance. The flavor is unpleasant to some ; it resembles a decoction of warm flatiroup. injured. ^^^^^ 'Owing to tbe heroic conduct of acreole woman, tamed Emily Edwards, the lives of four men wire saved. She herself had been badly burned n the fire o' I85X, She was the first to give the alarm; she had the fence torn down and carried out a large quantity of grain, and she it was who saved tho four men who were scalded, by dragging them from the building and covering them with her own clothing* which she tore off her person.— Several ofthe engine companies were promptly on the spot, but owing to the nature of the contents of the building, in the course of 40 minutes it was entirely consumed. Several of the firemen were severely injured by the falling of the walls, one of whom, named Thomas J. Seward, died in the course of an hour. The building, itself, cost $27,000, which would bo increased to 5100,000 by the machinery and necessary apparatus. It was the largest distillery on tbe Pacific coast, and the property coHsumed could not have been less than $250,000. It was owned by a company, and the principal portion of the capital was invested by parties in New York. where an insurance of $100,000 is said to have been effected. Iu San Francisco, the principal stockholders were Aiecp & Co, This loss will be increased, from the fact tbat it will interfere with contracts to a large amount, already made. Indian" Fight near Red Bluff—Twenty-Five Indians Killed.—a correspondent at Red Bluff- tes to the Sacramento Union, under date of Oct, 21, that he had just heard through Mr. Bumpis, oi a tight between the Indians about twenty-five miles irom that place, in which some twenty-five were killed. He says that the Indians are committing robberies and murders in all directions iu that vicinity, and suggests pertinently that something should be done to protect the people ofthe north, particularly the women and children, in thia connection, lie asserts that it is unsafe for a white man to sleep out of his house, and that it something is not done by the authorities, tho people will wage war on their own hook. A company of volunteers has been drilling at Ited Bluffs for some tin*1 past. _«________, __. " call of the Governor. Forn Cattle Thieves Hung.—At Hill's Ferry. In Stanislaus county, three Mexican and one German were hung in a row on the 19th ult. for steal-1 ing cattle. One hundred head were founn in their ' possession when arrested. A Court of Judge Lynch was held, which resulted in their conviction. Tbe Mexicans were stubborn, cool and collected to the last, makiug no confession or manifesting any signs of penitence beyond asking those around them to pardon, and regretting that they must die without the absolving aid of a priest. The German made a full confession, admitting that he deserved his fate. He left a wife and four children. under Lieutenant Underwood., who has orders \& proceed from Port Heading to that place; one .ompany of Dragoons, under Captain Smith', and one company of "the Fourth Infantry, commando* by Captain Judah, who is already in She field.— The utmost activity prevails at Bcnicia in the en*. barcation of mules, horses, stones, etc.. and if the steamer were but in readiness, the expedition could start thia afternoon, although tho news was only received on Thursday night.—S.

Fall of Sevastopol. The Fall of Sebastopol ia one of the most important eventa that has transpired during the pre- ieiit century. By the arrival of the steamer Pacific at New York we have datea from Liverpool to the 22d of September, from which we make tlie following synopsis: On Saturday, the 8th of September, being 12 months since landing in the Crimea, and 316 daya eioce the opening of the siege latteries, a final and victorious assault waa made on the Malakofl! The assault; was preceded by a terrific bombardment, and a despatch from GortschakolTpermitted to transpire at Vienna and Berlin, says ; '* Our works Buffer—rrepare. tlie public for the result." At noou the whole disposable force of the besieging armies moved forward in a Jour-fold attack. The extreme right of the French attack waa directed against the Little Redan, which they carried, but had to abandon from a fierce charge of the Russians. The second assault of the French was against tha Malakoff, which after six repulses they carried by storm and decided the fate of the day. A third attack made by the British against the Great Redau completely failed. The British loss is numbered at two thousand killed and wounded. The fourth portion of the assault was raada by the French, against the central battery, but also failed. The other events of the siego are embraced in the following official despatches : CAPTURE OF THE MALAKOFF. From Fdlisier, Varna, Sept. 9th, we learn that the assault upon the Malakoff was made at noon, Saturday. Its redoubts and the Redan on the side of Careening Bay, were occupied by our brave soldiers. We occupied ourselves In this object at tho Malakofl. The Redan on the side of Careening Bay could not be maintained in tho lace of the powerful artillery, which overwhelmed the first occupants of that work, which, however, our firm settlement in the Malakoff will speedily cause to succumb together with the Redan, which our brave allies seized, attacking it with their habitual vigor, were compelled to cede the work again to the powerful artillery and reserves of the enemy. At the sight of our eagles flowing on Malakoff, General Desalles made two attacks upon the sen- tral bastion. These, however, did not succeed, and our trcops retired to the trenches. Our losses are serious, and cannot yet be precisely indicated. Six hundred and fifty soldiers aud twenty-seven officers were taken prisoners iu the Malakolf. EVACUATION OF THE SOUTHERN SIDE. From General Simpson, in the Crimea, we learn that Sebastopol is in possession of the Allies. The enemy during tbe niglit and morning evacuated the southern side, exploding their magazines, aud setting fire to the whole of the town. All the men of war were burned during the night, with the ex ception of three steamers, which are plying about the harbor, aud the bridge communicating with the north side ia broken down. During the night the Russians haye sunk all the remainder of the line of battle ships in Sebastopol harbor. From General Pelissier, Stanchion Redoubt, September dth, A. M. Karabeinaia anl the south of Sebastopol no longer exist. The enemy perceiving our solid occupation ofthe Mfdakoff, decided upou evacuating the place, after having destroyed and blown up by mines nearly all the defences. II ving passed the night, in tho midst of iny troops, I can assure you that everything in the Karabeinaia is blown up. aud from what I could si*e the same must be the case iu front of our left line of attack. Further from Central Pelissier-** September 5th, 8 P. AL The enemy has Bunfe his steam vessels. The work of destruction continues under the fire of our mortars, as mines aie successively sprung at different points. It is my duty to defer entering the place, which has theappearanr.eof a great furnace. Prince Gorlschakoil, being closely pressed by our lire, has demanded sn armistice to carry off his wounded. From Admiral Bniat, Crimea, September 0. The assault upon Hie Malakoff Tower was made yesterday at noon, and later on the Great R<*dan aud Central Bastion. The gale from the north kept fcheshipa at anchor. The mortar boats fired 60Q shells. Six English mortar-boats also fired about the same number of shells. The bridge was covered with troops retreating to the north side. After 8 o'clock the bridge was destroyed. Our soldiers have left their trenches and are spreading themselves in groups over the for till cations of the town, which seem to be totally deserted. RUSSIAN ACCOUNT. The following is from Gortschakoff, dated at Sebastopol, September 8th, noon ! The enemy receives fresh reinforcements incessantly. The bombardment continues very violent. Tkn- o'clock. P. M. The garrison of Sebastopol. alter sustaining lire, waa repulsed to-day. Although six assaults were made, they could not-drive the enemy from the bastion. Our brave troops, who resisted to the last extremity, are now crossing over to the north part of SebastopoL The enemy has found nothing iu the southern part but the bloody ruins which his attack has made. The passage ofthe garrison from the southern to the northern side haa been achieved with extraordinary success, and our only Iosb on the bastion is about one hundred men kill- td. We left in the southern part only 500 men grievously wounded. From General Pelissier in the Crimea, September inth, 11 P.M. I inspected to-day Sebastopol and its lines of defence. The multiplicity of the works of defence. and the means applied to them, exceed by far anything hitherto seen in the history ofthe war. The capture ofthe Malakoff, which compelled the enemy to fly before our eagles, already three times victorious, has placed in the bands of the Allies an amount of material and immense establishments, the importance of which it is not possible to state exactly. To-morrow the Allied troops will occupy the Karabeinaia and the town, and under their protection an Anglo-French commission will be occupied with making out a return of the material abandoned to us by the enemy. The exultation of our soldiers ia very gt'fct. Sktember, 12tii, 11 P. M. The enemy has destroyed the remainder of his fleet. Nothing now remains afloat in the harbor. The Allies are hastening preparations iu case otGorts- chakolf attempting to reach Perekop or to unite with Lapraudi. LOSSES OF THE ALLIES. The London Post says the English* toss in the assault on Redan, waa five to six hundred killed and fourteen hundred wounded, including one hundred and forty-one officers. The Moniteur says that to the morning of the 11th. four thousand five hundred wounded, including two hundred and forty officers, had gom the ambulances. The dead not ascertained, but probably short of two thousand. The London Times Paris correspondent writes that five French Generals were killed, besides ten superior officers. It also affirms that Generals Mc- Mahon and Trocher have died ot their wouuds, aud Bosquet was severely wounded, miscellaneous. General Pelissier has been created Marshal of France. Paris was illuminated. The Grand National " Tc Deum" was celebrated by the Emperor in the Church of Notre Dame. Queen Victoria sends an address of thanks to her army, and directs Simpson to congratulate Marshal Pel ssieron his brilliant victory. Throughout France and England the rfljoicinijc ifi immense. ARMISTICE AND CAPITULATION". Our Paris correspondence t-ays that Pelissier telegraphed for instructions in case Goi'tschakofLshould ask to capitulate. The reply reported is, that the Russians must surrender at discretion, lay down their WDM and give up to the Allies all the fortified places in the Crimea, including Odessa, with all their munitions of war, and without doing any previous damage thereto. But Gortschakoff has uot yet asked for terms. The Brussels Nord, a Russian paper, sayp, that the resolution of Prince Gortschakoff exhibits the energy ofa great commander. It saves Russia from an inextricable position, into which a false interpretation of a point of honor would have thurst her. The Russian army, concentrated at North Sebastopol, will henceforth have that unity of movement and action which, until now, it ban wanted. Sebastopol of the South is replaced by Sebastopol ot tlie Nurth, a formidable position, and bristling with innumerable guns, which a compact army henceforward will defend. Impartial history will do justice to Gortschakoff, who, by making a momentary sacrifice and avoiding useless effusion ot blood, lias preserved for Russia an army trained to war by a struggle of a year's duration, and placed that army in a position which enables him Iff command the situation. Prance, An attempt was made on the life of Napoleon. A man by tho name of B-eHemarf, fired two pistols at a carriage supposed to contain the Emperor, but only Borne at the ladies of the Empress. The attempt was at the door of the Italian Opera. The assassin was arrested, considered insane, aud sent to the Asylum. Ut: ii marie. A letter from Berlin says, Austria issaid tohavc offered her mediation to Denmark in her difference with the United States. Douutsare entertained h as to whether tho United States will consent to the compromise which Denmark intends proposing of lowering the sound duties generally, but Prussia would be quite disposed to accept it. Rxissla. A telegraphic despatch from St. Petersburgh says—The Czar intends leaving on the 13th for Moscow and Warsaw, attended by Count Nesselrode, ar.d it is thought will arrange an interview with the King of Prussia. The Allies are still supposed to be meditating an attack on Revelle. London, Sept. nth. A Paris correspondence says, it is reported that twenty five thousand men have embarked at Bala- klava, for the north of Sebastopol; also that the Russians aro in full retreat towards Perekop. An editorial in the Paris Debuts is discussing whelher Sebastopol is tenable by tiie Allies while the Russians are masters ot all the ports on the north side aud fronting the sea. The Debate asserts that it is quite tenable. The Russian armies will probably continue in observation within their strong position-; until the Allies give some sign of movement. Heuoe all speculation as to plan of campaign must be Imaginary* It is rumored in clubs to-day that the Allies found twelve hundred guns within the tines of Sebastopol. Also, that the Russians were falling back on Backshaisera. But French rumors say that Gorte- cbakoff will eertainly hold the north side to the last extremity. Also that the Allied admirals have sent a despatch, saying it is not expedient to enter the harbor of of Sebastopol until Fort Oonstantine is silenced* Propably the Allies will attack Fort Constantino from Fort Alexander aud Artillery Bay. Interesting from Ruwla. The following dispatch from St, Petersburg, Sept, Uth, has been received at Hamburg: The Emperor has issued an order of the day to the army, communicating the fall of Sebastopol. His Majesty thanks the garrison of Sebastopol for the bravery they have displayed in defending that stronghold to the very last, and declares that he is convinced all the troops of the empire are ready to follow their example in sacrificing life and every thing for the sake of protecting the religion, the honor and the indepeuder.ee or Russia. The Emperor adds, that iio still relies with confidence upou the firmness and courage of his faithful and attached soldiers to repel every future hostile attempt to violate the sanctity of the Russian territory, while he excuses the recent failure at Sebastopol by saying there is a line which is impassible even to heroes. The Mountain of Gold In Tuolumne. The discovery of Immense and almost incalculable deposits of gold in "Table Mountain," ia the greatest that has been made since the original "liscovery by Marshall at Colorna. Had it been tiade in 1848 or 1849 it would have spread an ex- ctement over the whole world ; but now its effects w'.ll be confined comparatively to tho locality of th; mountain. The incalculable richness of these de)osits would perhaps never have been known abfead, had they not become the subject of suits law and are of such a nature that they may be reltd upon, as the facts have been developed by witicssea on oath. Lke all the rich deposits of gold which have been discovered, it is evident that where now stand; Table Mountain a river once flowed, which was subsequently filled up by a great convulsion natire. The Sonora Herald thus rationally aecoun? for this wonderful formation : The heory adopted by many intelligent and learned men, who have examined the subject re- garding-.he Table Mountain, is that it was formerly the bd of a considerable sized stream, flowing through well defined valley at the foot ofa large mountainrauge, and during thia time the enormous depeits of gold lately discovered were made; that in th course of time it became obstructed near ita miith, causing it to- receive certain sedimentary doosits, of which it givea evidence, en the top^of U ancient bed ; ami that subsequently a large ToHno burst forth and sent its fiery liquid streamalong its coutse, which gradually cooled and lrmed the upper crust scoria, which has first to b penetrated before arriving at the sedimentary epoist; and then, by aome awful throe of natui, the whole face of the country was changed, the nmntains being thrown into the bed of the river, t-Hs forming the rocky enclosures that now profit the golden bowels of Table Mountain. Wither this theory be of any account or not we cannooretend to say ; but at all events the subject ia wc worthy the attention of scientific, as well as meipractical men ;.and we proph' cy that ere manypoiuhs elapse hidden wonders will be brought Might from the dark depths of Table Mountain tli, wni astonish the world. These views areWther confirmed by develop ment of petrified wid, an account of which is thus given in the same pier : Maj. Collins has (hibited to us some very fine specimens of petri fie wood, that were taken out ofas;-aft on the Tie Mountain, at a deptii of oue hundred and eigty- feet below the surface of the ground. Besides eing petrified, the pores of the wood appear to hie become Thoroughly impregnated with some »eral substance—supposed to be sulphurated Ira—which gives it a very beautiful appearance. The wood shown us was red-wood, and the bark ' the oak. We also saw some Oat specimens taken from Ihe same shaft, which ^Id seem to exhibit thai a curious depository pruSS has formerly taken place, by which tho pr«*jt mountain has been formed. The miners firftnerforata a very hard substance—of the oonBisMy of rock—very much resembling scoria; alia* 'ggiug this substance some ten, twenty, or thirt jeet, l.hey strike on a sedimentary deposit, termay them :'pipe-clay,"' but which has much tho sa> appearance as sedimentary deposits from rily ter when thoroughly baked by exposure to the si* they proceed thro' this from fifteen to forty ft, when they strike upon a depositof jocks, hug-oiildei-s, sand, clay, ifcc, among which thfy disco- tiie gold. It was in this last deposit the pctrifi substances above referred to were found. ■-*> ■<■»»*)> Another collision has occ*ed between the steamers J\ew World and J)'efaer, in which boih boats were seriously injured. los angel.es price current.

INDIAN AFFAIRS.
Recent manifestation)! bare increased the anxiety
ofeur citizens relative to Indian nftiiirs, and It in
tbe belief of lhop,e well informed in such matters,
thai II behooves tbe Federal Government to act
with great circumspection, or it will bo precipitated into Indinii difficulties »B formidable ai those
In Oregon.
Not only have our subptantial citizens been disquieted by minora of impolitic change in our In'
dian policy—not only have they deprecated u
threatened removal of the Sebastian Reserve, but
wo are Informed that the subject baa attracted the
attention of the Indiana themselves, has been talked of over their council-ftreu in the Tulare Valley,
debated in the Ranclieriaa, scattered along the
San Bernardino, San Gor«ouiti and Sun Jaolntc
mountains. Upon the Reserve itself, this subject
has excited the alarm of the longhaired Indian?
of the Tulare, and we understand that deputations
have called npon the agents of the Government
for an explanation, whether the solemn promises
made by Lieutenant Bealc on behalf of tho Government, and reiterated by Col. Henley, that the
LVjou ..' i! signaled as a permanent homo for
them, were to he violated and disregard d like the
treaties ofOols. Barbour, Wossencraft and MoKee.
Those Of our readers, who were resident in this
county at the time of Antonio G.irru's Insurrection,
will recollect that it was preceded by complaints
from the [ndhws that the county oi San Diego was
collecting taxes frcm them.
Several months ago, wo understand that the
same complaint was made by the Indians, whether
weTJ founded or not wc do notfcaow; and following
upon that wc hear that the Indiana in Ban DlegO
county are exhibiting signs of rest less-mesa. The
matter is susceptible of ready explanation; as the
exaction of taxes ceased about tbe time of the
establishment of the Sebastian Reserve, the Indians have ascribed their exemption since to tho influence of that establishment; and now, following
a report of the intended removal of that Reserve,
comes h renewed demand for taxes, so that the two
movements seem some way to bo connected together. We, of course, aro well aware how unfounded ia this supposed connection, but the belief
in it amongst the Indians establishes the fact that
the Government should bo very prudent iu not affording any evidence to favor it.
Our cotemporary, the Southern Califomian,
has for a long time been engaged in tho work ot
annihilating Col. Henley, the Sebastian Reserve
ami the Reserve system generally. What space
-could be spared from abusing our naturalized clti-
xens, furnishing the history of swimming horses
and sham duels, aud tho achievements of Mr.
Hunt, the Common Councilman elect, has been
devoted to attacking a system inaugurated by its
friend, Lieut. Beale, and approved by every old
■and responsible settler, amongst whom we have
only to mention our Senator elect, B. D. Wilson,
Esq.. to insure that respect for the policy, which
his high character, unblemished reputation and
large experience in ludian affairs, commands for
himself, and not only thus inaugurated and thus
approved, but actually in the full tide of successful operation, giving and bestowing upon us the
•thousand blessings of peace and security,
A machine constructed like the Southern Califomian and possessed only ofthe power of ejecting abuse and discoloring truth, a machine which
draws its sustenance from a country, against whose
interests and property it would recklessly arm the
■wild savage, whose unprotected citizens it would
oxpose to Indian Otttchery,for the only gratification
of opposing an able and fearless public officer like
Col. Henley, and attacking an Administration, like
the present, has merited and has obtained the disapprobation of every enlightened inhabitant ofthe
South. That it should attack the present Superintendent ia a matter that can bo understood from
Its Know Nothing and Anti-Democratic sympathies,
that it should apeak of his management And crti-
oiee it, is the legitimate function ofa freo and independent opposition press; but that it should ad.
Tocate a policy that would jeopardise the immense
herdBtif cattle in this county, worth about two mil
lions of dollars, would expose our frontier ranch-
ob and settlements to destruction, that would depreciate our real estate and light tho torch of a
fierce Indian war, is beyond the comprehension of
those men who look to their country's good as
rule of action.
For ourselves we repeat what we have already
said, that there is not a responsible and intelligent
citizen in the six Southern counties, who docs not
■rejoice in our peaceful relations with the Indians,
in our neighborhood and who would not characterize that man or public ofncer,wbo menaced their
■continuance by rash changes or experiments, as the
wanton and malicious enemy of the whole South.
We confidently believe that our prosperity, as
far as our Indian policy can affect it, is connected
"with Ihe preservation of tho Reserve system, and
the continuance of the Sebastian Reserve where it
now is; and we caunot believe that any personal
feeling or local hills,enee can induce the Government to put in peril so much real prosperity and
material progress, as k exhibited by the Southern
counties, for the purpose of huzurdiug new experiments.
Tho Fall of Sevastopol.
The most exciting newB wc have this week to lay
before our readers is the cap hire of Sebastopol,
which has withstood the combined forces of England. Pnnoe and Turkey for the space of nearly
one year. The news of the fall of this famous
fortress was received in France and England with
the most unbounded rejoicings, unsurpassed since
the close of the great war forty yenra ago. At tbe
theatres and various places of amusement the news
waa officially announced, and the bands played the
national anthems ol England and France. Salutes
(Pen Bred, the church bells rung forth merry peals,
the streets were thronged aud the greatest excite*
meat prevai'cd, and cheer alter cheer rent the aii
iu honor ot the glorious victory. People flocked
from the country into tho cities, which added to
the general enthusiasm, and nothing was heard
but expressions of joy and admiration at the success of the Allies. The Allies attacked four different points simultaneously, none of which were successful, except the French, who attacked the Mala-
kott Tower. The English did succeed in taking
the Great Redan and the Central Bastion, but as
soon &b the garrison had retreated the Russian
guns from other batteries were brought to bear.
aud the English were compelled to retreat in turn'
Tbe success of the French decided the day, for as
soon aa they were masters of the Malakofl, they
held the key of the whole place, and the bombard*
ment of the city was renewed with increased vigor
and fierceness. The Allies opened such "an infernal fire," as Gortschakoff calls it in his dispatch,
that the whole southern part of the city was soon
in a blaze, nnd was completely reduced to ashes.
The Russian position in Northern Sebastopol it-
one cf immense strength. It completely commands the harbor, and effectually prevents the
Allied fleet from entering tbe roadstead and
port. It is, however, contended that the Russian*
cannot long hold the northern portion of the
town, but will soon be obiged to evacuate it —
Tho losses of the Allies during the attack, whicl
lasted four days, is estimated at ten thousand
killed and wounded. The loss of the Russians,
comparatively speaking, is very light. Thus ha-
One half Of Sebastopol fallen alter a siege 01
nearly one year, at an immense sacrifice of lift
and money, Count Nesselrode estimates the los*-
of the Allies since the commencement of hostilities as follows :—Turks, 1-10,000 ; French, 40,000:
BogliBh, 80,000. The Count contends that Russia
will fight until eho is exhausted, that she will
wait calmly and resignedly until propositions ol
peace aro made, which she can accept without
dishonoring her past or future history. The Allies have by their immense fleet complete com
mand of the Crimea on three sides, and it il
contended that no alternative is left to'Russia bul
to retreat into the interior.
Fi-om Oregon,
By the steamer Columbia, Capt. Dall, which arrived at San Francisco Oct. 30th, from Portland,
O. T., wc have dates from that pkico to Oct, 27th.
The news is exciting and important. The Indians throughout Oregon aad Washington Territories, and in tho Northern part of California, appear
to have united in a common crusade against the
whites. The whole Indian country has risen. The
settleis, on the other hand, are not idle. In Oregon alone there are three hundred regulars, and
[answering the generat call of Gov. Carry.) about
nine hundred volunteers, who have resolved, apparently, ou a War of utter extermination of the
Indians. Iu Washington Territory several companies of volunteers, {summoned by the Acting
Governor,) in addition to tho U. S. soldiers, have
taken the ticld.. In Northern California the regulars and volunteers number about live hundred
men. The hostile Indiana are supposed to number
between five and ten thousand men, though their
real strength cannot bo known. Over every part
of these immense territories roam bonds of Indi
ans, who are burning and otherwise destroying the
property, aud taking the lives ofthe white settler:
The loss of life among the whites has been very
groat. They have partially retaliated upou the
Indians, though as yet no effectual check has been
given to the ravages ot the latter. But tho time
seems to be coming for a terrible revenge. The
Oregon forces are concentrating at the Dalles, on
the Columbia river, to which pointalready thevol-
teer companies have hastened. Tho Columbia,
on her last voyage up the coast, carried to Fort-
land a company of regulars, together with 1,500
stand of arms, and a large amount of ammunition.
This company is said to be composed of picked
men, accustomed to fighting Indians. They are
under the command of Capt. Ord.
Tho different Oregon papers, and particularly
the Oregonian, contain numerous letters from various parts cf the country, relating to the ravages
ofthe Indians.
NEWS FROM THB J\TElUOIt OF THK

flames they were soon communicated to all around,
although it is said that if the necessary means had
been at hand they might at first have been arrested
before they had communicated to the spirits and
other combustibles. As soon, however, as the
Barnes reached the spirits the conflagration was
general, and the interior of the building was enveloped in flames—there being thirty thousand
gallons of liquor in the distillery at the time.—
Mr. Isaacs, one of tbe employees attached to the
works, was charging the still at the time, and was
not only knocked down by the explosion, but was
also dangerously scalded. His brother was standing by bis side at the time and received a similar
injury. At the time of the explosion there were
about thirty persons in tho building who suffered
to a greater or less extent, Mr. Carrell, one of the
number, was shockingly scalded, and expired about
eight o'clock Friday evening. Bernard Bird, also
dreadfully scalded, died at an early hour on the
same evening, Carrell and the two Mesrss.
Isaacs were removed to the house of Mrs. Cun
ningham. and received every attention at her
hands. Wm. Deal and Mr. Kelly were also severe

Topics ot tlie Day.
The Indian war which now rages at the North,
and news of which reached us by the last steamer
from Oregon, is about to be grappled with by the
distinguished veteran commanding the Pacific,
Division, with all the energy characteristic of that
gallant officer. The whole disposable force at the
command of General Wool is to be concentrated at
two points,—one division, the operations of which
General Wool will direct in person, at Fort Dalle*
—and the other at Fort Lane. The General proceeds from this place on Tuesday, on board the
steamer California, for Fort Humboldt, and thence
to Fort Dalles, from which point he will direct the
operations against the enemy. He takes with him
tlie eompanv stationed at th-e Presidio, under command of Captain Keyes, aud auother company
from Fort Humboldt. The General is accompanied
from this eity by Major Cross, at the head of tbe
Quartermaster''; Department ; Major Townsend,
Assistant Adjutant General,- Captain Cram, Topographical Engineers; and Lieutenants Benny,
castle'and Arnold his immediate Aids. I,^,-,
quantities of ordnance, subsistence and quartet-
