Considerable rain has fallen upon the vnllics during the past ten days, and frOnv ouo to ten feet of snow now lies upon the high surrounding mountains. On the night of the l.rth inst., rain froze to ice on the fruit trees in tho vicinity of Ashland an.! Phoenix, and on the succeeding flight n slight frost visited the lower por tions of tho Valley. Today tho sky is clear and weather exceedingly pleasant. Wasiiikotox'h Birth Day. 'I'M day, nt Florence, W. T. was celebrated by the erection of a colossal monument of snow to ueorge Washington. A correspondent of the Age My it was no pastime affair, but d real life-liko statue, designed nnd executed by Charles Ostner, n well-known sculptor of San Francisco. Tho inaugurating cer emonies were very impressive, and were participated in by tho whole community. Run-aw.iy. Quito an excitement was created in our town to-day by a span of liorsee, hitched to a wagon, nindly dashing through tho streets. Fencing took to itself wings and flew away, and finally tho wag on summersaulted, nnd was gloriously f mushed up ; after which tho horses parted company, each seeming determined to get us fast as possible from the secno of dituu ter. The horses were not severely injured, Tho establishment belonged to Mr. Samuel Robinson. A Warning. Tho Copperheads of Douglas comity, who have been displaying t heir loyalty to Jeff. Davis, by tearing down hand-bills for recruiting service, and by other means discouraging enlistments in tho Oregon Cavalry regiment, may save ihemselves much future grief by reading mid reflecting upon the following telegram.

In nil probability murder nnd robbery will be their game this summer. By being allowed to live in the settlements, it is well known that many of them have become possessed of yagers, fine-sighted rifles nnd revolving pistols, and there is but little room for hope thnt they are destitute of ammunition. The Indiuns here say they are going to tuko nil their women and children from the settlements. Every thing indicates that they are prepared to commit their villainous depredations. In case of n war, the two companies of caval ry, designed Tor the post nt Klamath, will liuve more bloody work than is desirable. Gold IIii.i.. The gentlemen interested in the fur-famed Gold Hill quartz ledge were yesterday made joyous by highly flut tering prospects taken from their lend. Afier spending considerable timo in runninir n tunnel in sixty-six feet upon the ledge, they nre now rewarded with n prospect of the big pay of 1800. Considerable rock has been taken out, but, we suppose, fur ther prospecting will be done before ma chinery is put up for crushing. The ledge in owned by twelve or fifteen persons, among whom is Jack Long, who, we sup pose, is kept in the company " just for luck." May the palmy days of the spring of 18C0 return to them.

Tux Collector, has been bnily engaged in our town yestenlny and to-day receiving and receipting for money for U. S. Taxes. Mr. Parker informs us that he has hud no trouble whatever in making collections. He think double the amount expected will be realized by this tax law. The Collector will be in Kerbyvillc on Wednesday and Thursday of next week, when ull good citizens of Josephine county who hnvo Federal taxes assessed ngninst them, should bo promptly on hand to pay the same nnd receive their licenses. Persons should seek the tax-collector and get a license, as without it they nru liable to a heavy fine. The compositors in the Times offico were one evening compelled to cull to their as sistance four Philadelphia lawyers, two doctors and a Chinaman, before they were enabled to make out a greased telegraphic dispatch received from Yrekn." Now, if they will allow us to Fiipposo thnt their "lawyers" were bottles, tho "doctors" demijohns, and tho " Chinaman " a luger beer keg, we will bo ut no loss to under stand how it was thut so many " r-r " were discovered in tho word " vcr-rueruz." So berly spenking, wo think the dispatches from Yrekn, if not plain as "pica reprint," are full as legible as greased lightning re ports usually arc. They suit us to an "r." Of tho prospects of the abettors of trea son in the North and tho positions of the mnss of the Democratic party, tho New York Times of March 17th said : We have always told the Northern abet tor of treason thnt they would never suc ceed in taking in either of tho great politi cal parties, nnd that they would surely come to grief if they persisted in the at tempt. Nothing is more certain than thut tho great body of the Democratic parly, as well of tho Republican, is thornngly loyal to the Government. It has no affinity with the rebellion in any degree. Kvcry instinct and every principle binds it to the nation ality. There never was a greater political mistake than' the assuming that because the Democratic party generally felt constrained to condemn the management of the war, (hey were therefore opposed to the war itself, and ready for peaco on any terms with the rebels. Mamonant to tiik Last. The Copper head Legislature of Illinois spat upon the grave of Stephen A. Douglus, by votiug down nn appropriation for a monument to his memory. Most of the Republicans voted fqr th appropriation. Qov. Yates (Rep.) himself uiged its passage. UKNKRAl, UADAWAIiADKR. T lift OlllOPr: who distinguished himself iirMexkM has been assigned to the, second Corps of 'the army uuder General Hooker's commund. letter from I Mr.?- nnd'wns glad to hear you wero enjoying thnt'grealrstflf nil blessings, health, and am liuppy- to Inform you thut your humble serv't is in the same fix bodily, but mentully getting no belter very fust. My loyalty abont one year nnd u half ago, I think, run off with my judgment, and if I have to winter out in this ever lusting lirigid zone another winter, I think it will freeze the last particle of patriotism out or inc, as slick as u smooth bore. We huvo had one tirifliek fought with the bloody logins. You have probably seen an account of It in the California papers, but as your humble servant was n partici pant in that ere bloodly muss, I will give you n few facts thut came under my own immediate observation. Well, to begin with : wo left Cnmp Douglas, just uftcr a full of u'onut twelve inches of snow, near sunset, nnd by the limit tho sun was half uu hour high the next morning had made seventy miles, just to tuko tliu wire-edge off our ponies. You hud ought to of hud a iloggcrytipe or my feelings the lut few miles before the first halt. The second night was u repetition of the first, only n little shorter. Aficr three tcdinns night-marches we reached the south fork of Bear river, within about three quarters of u mile of the spot which, it few minutes uftcr, was the scene of one of the bloodiest tragedies nnd wholesale slaughters, according to the number en gaged, that was ever witnessed by mortal man. The Indians were located in n deep gulch, that runs nt u right angle with the river, the ground nearly level on either side, affording no protection whatever to the troops. I am not much of a descriptivo writer, and occupying the position I did had n poor chance to picture n battle. You can just imagine about two hundred men, some with frozen feet, others with frozen hands, u portion half starved, nnd the d d savages making nil kinds of sign. of defiance. I say you can form some idea of the feelings of such a body of men. Now wo nre within three hundred yards of the bloody devil, already two of our number nre slain. There is n momentary pause. Now n rousing cheer Is raised, and, as by mutual consent, every man is a commander, looks out for number one, and goes in, red-shirt style. Some considerable sklimishing ensues, when It is discovered very sensibly that the Indians have the best of it ten of our men are dead nnd about thirty wounded. About this time tho infantry, one compa ny, nbont seventy strong, have got ncross the river and are coming up on the oppo site side nnd upper end of the gulch. Now there is a rush from ull hands, nnd in live muutcs tho Indians are in n perfect panic, and trying to get away ; but there is only one way to escape, nnd that is to take the river, but thut is just as destrnctivo ns to rusli np to a battery, for they no sooner get fairly in the water than they nre shot, and flout off like dead hog. At the mouth of the gulch, a few rods beforo reaching the river, forty-one dead Indiuns were counted in a pile, just as they fell. Wo killed, nt a low estimate, .100 ; nnd left of tquaws und children about fifty-five. Old Sim mons had nine holes through his coat, and six through his shirt. Ono shot went through his overcoat, soldier jacket, n news paper so folded as to cut eighty-two holes through it, about twelve holes through a silk handkerchief, three woolen shirts, nnd lodged against his ribs, jsjst fomest the turn turn ; und, by the way, stove a like ness all to flinders. All of theso fixing I had in tho breast-pocket of my soldier jacket. By the way, theso Indiuns are a tribe that was a terror to tho whole coun try, and moro particularly to tho immi grants, and have met and defeated, on two former occasions, a greatly superior force to ours of regulur troops ; but I tell you we came very near totally annihilating the tribe. Wo had fourteen killed und forty two wounded. Eight of tho wounded have sinco died. I am scribbling in the uproar of a sold ier camp. B. E. Simmons. NEW TO-DAY.
