er rates. The work on the new Almaden quicksilver mines has been resumed. The attempted caucus of the Douglas Democrats on the United States Senatorial question has failed. The tendency of parties still favors a coalition between the Republicans and Northern Douglas sites on the one side, and between the chivalry wing of the Douglasites and the Breckinridge Democrats on the other, thus reducing the Legislature to two parties of about equal strength. With the latter coalition General Denver stands the best chance, while the Republicans and Northern Douglasites are giving a divided support to Messrs. Randolph, Curry and McDougall, with poor prospects of harmonizing on either. Several bills have been introduced in the Legislature, granting to individuals the right to construct horse railways through the streets of San Francisco.

. W. McCorkle and Richard P. Hammond, have formed a combination to use their united influence with the Douglas Democracy to elect Hon. Mr. McDougall to the United States Senate this winter, Mr. Hammond Governor of the State next summer, and Mr. McCorkle to the United States Senate on the expiration of Mr. Latham's term. The programme will meet with strong opposition within the Douglas ranks. The two strongest candidates for the Senatorship this winter appear to be General McDougall and General Denver. The organization of a joint stock company to open the Washoe silver mines is among the most notable features of the times. As often as two or three times per week some company, with a nominal capital stock ranging all the way from $500,000 up to several millions, files articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State, elects officers, and appears to be earnestly preparing to commence silver mining — Some of these comprise men of wealth and character, while many are doubtless

t is smuggled in boxes marked "Government with hospital stores," or packed in barrels and marked "beef." Among the subjects engaging the attention of the Van Wyck Investigating Committee are the conspiracies in beef cattle to enhance prices, by the assistance of men of straw, and of horse dealers to sell the same article several times to the Government, and the enormous abuses of the sutler system.

The Indian war. The war in the West with the Indians continues to grow in interest and magnitude. The inhabitants of the country infested are promiscuously murdered, and the citizen troops are put to a vast deal of trouble, for which they get nothing in return. Fort Kearny, Denver, and other places in the Kansas and Nebraska department, are points of rendezvous for Federal citizen forces, while all between them the savages run riot. An agent of the Indian Bureau writes to the Yankee Government as follows: * * * "Those with whom I traveled stopped about half a mile below Pawnee ranch. I concluded to go back to a house in the rear to get dinner, and not apprehending danger, I left my revolver and bowie-knife behind. At a point half way between the wagons and the ranch, three armed Indians, mounted on fleet horses, dashed down from the bluffs at full speed into the road, and shot a man through the head and scalped him instantly. He was just a little way behind me, driving
