BurrKVlLtx, Aug. lti, 1873. Ed. Farmkb: After passing round tho western bao of Mt. Shasta, our trail for i-ev-oral days led over a broken, mountainous country. Travelling down tho sharp di vides lormed by tlio small tributaries of the Sacramento, wo soon reached the Soda Springs, whose waters in their chomical ccm uiuation are similar to those of the far famed Bear Blvor Springs. The country lying between Shasta and tho main branch of the Sacramento afforded but scanty forage for ourheavlly-ludeu pick animals, some of which gave out and were left by tho way. Tho hostile Indians, through whose country wo had passed, noor belore having seen the alo faces in such numbers, had fled In cou aternation to thoir mountain fastnosses, of fering no hindranco to our peaceful transit. And It now romained (or some oi our j oting men to givo a practical display of our vaunt ed superior civ nidation, which they did by .firing upon some unoffending Indiaus, who had here grow n more tamo as we deconded Into tho valley of tho Sieraraento. This deviation from the golden rule caused con siderablo commotion iu camp, and a goodly number favored throwing out a strong pick et guard to prevent a night surprise. Arms wore inspected and reloaded, but the soldier ly bearing of our veterans late from the Cay use war,insplred confidence In our midst,and it was decided under existing circumstances that eaoh member of the party should con aider himself the safest custodian of his own most precious scalp. Leaving our first camp on the main branch of the Sacramento river, we soon reached Major HodiiiK's ranch, which was the upper ono In tho -valley. Neighbors at this time mere lew and fir between. Wo next passed tho ranches of Potior, Lawon, Keel, Dntton, Ide, and tho flock larm, which whs about tho only ono wo had seen that would call to mind tho habitation of tho husbandman, until 1 reaching Sutter's fort, where we arrived Oct. ill h, 1313. Permit me bore foi a lew moments to ro turn to thofriontis wo left behind. Among. the mombprs of tho pirtycoiupostng MoKujs wagou train, maybe mentioned tho names of Peter II. Burnt tt, Zio'jory, Lawrncfe Hall, Howell, (who had joined them en the way), T. McGrudwr, Lmijoy, Palmer, Dr rrijyj, Jamei Moore, Anson Cono, and a man with his wito and chlMrcu who had iolnad them from the upper settlements on the Willamette; In all forming quite a largo party. On reaching tho Immigrant road they ascertained from posted notices that Laivson's party were nearly a mouth In art yance, but owing to the amount of heavy labor required to open a passageway for their wagons they were overtaken by the Oregonlans in a few daj s. Tho immigrants. Jrom long continued fatigue and tare, had Income greatly exhausted, and weio quite discouraged, and on tlio point of abandon ing tlielr wagons and packing their families and fow arlloles if possible lute tho alUy This as jot unnecessary chango of pro patnrao s i:i opposition to tlio strou0'st reni'vni'ratico of their inlropi 1 loader, who S. sfBiiwi thom that the miin difficulties had V been overcome. Tho Oregon triln now roll Jng into camp Infused Dew Inoii'id Hiie.'g.y among the Germans Mciny una ww i had met cicti otlier ypars bcfoio. TNi Or egoiilans had long beoti inured to such diln cultios as were now presented in front. On tho following morning, Law sin, aocouipi Jlled by McKay aud a low immigrants, as cended a prominent peak of the Slouas, from which could beheftnatnngroatdlstance below, tbe long looked for valley, which they bad now but Just learned waa every wbeio encompassed with gold. Lawsou being anx ious to reach home as soon as possible, left Capt. McKay to conduct the united trains Into the valley. In a letter re-celv od from Doo. Newell soon After, ho informed me that tho evout of opening the two wagon roads and the safe arrival of the toil-worn travellers at Law- i son's ranch, was duly celebrated by an old Xuthloned beef barbecue , given by Mr. Law- ' sob. That daring the entertainment whlob -was kept up through tbe afternoon and night, many demonstration of gratltud were shown their faithful pilot for bis Indefatigable exer tions in bringing them safely through to title that, of all other lands, wis the land of brightest promise. McKay's party, alter a short resit, ngnln rolled out, reaching Warn tough' mining eirop nu Feather river, Nov. Jl h. Our piny went Into camp on Iho American river two miles, abovo butter's Fort, for the pnrpoo of tuaUns tuo ntoo'Hi' j work. And to this end it was decided to di vide our mess. Accordingly it was arranged thatO. S. Thomas, T. W. Grim, Mr. Tovis, A. J. Vaughn, and 11 Ady, should at once proceed to prospect the north fork of the American river, and In duo time report pro grass, while 'Via, Whitney, A. K, Post, B F. Hall, and tho writer wero to remain and purchase and jerk beof, which wa3 abun dant and cheap, mako tents aud lay In other supplies sufficient to last through the winter. The diy goods and groceries were purchased of Sim. Uranium, who kept the principal mercantile house at the Tort, vhere he laid the foundation of a princely fortune. At the time of Marshal's discovery ol gold at Sutter's mill, on the American river, Mr. Brannan was editing, at tho village of Yerba Bucna (asSin Fiancisco was then called) The Yeiba Jiuena blar, which ho at oneo abandoned tor the nioro piolitablo business of tho mines. Sacramento city has not yet been surveyed, aud tho only estvbllshmont near tho site where the proud capltol ol tho Qoldon State now rears its lolly dome was a lonely bark, mured at the bank of tho silent rivtr. Capt. Sutter, during (ho summor and early fall, bad employed a large number of bis semi civilized Indians in the mines, and was reported to have In store hundreds of pouuds of the precious metal. On our arrival we found that nearly all the ranchmen of the sparsely-settled valleys bad returned to their homes from the mines, many of whom were confined by the malignant fevers then pre vailing throughout all the interior valleys. The small, transient mltiing population gen erally bad sought health and repose at the bay aud other places along the const The Oregouians now, and lor sovorjl months fol lowing, found themselves almost wholly in possession of tho mines from Boiling's south ward for a distance of ir.oro than two -00 miles. The lew settlers of tho extensive country drained by tho Sveratuonlo and San Josquin rivers, had hitherto paid but little attention to anything sivo lint of stock-raisin,?. The whole countiy in appearance pre- i-ontod but very slight toiuhes of clvllired life, nud, in ail the amenities and comfoits that mirk au advancing clvlllillou, was far In tho rear of our own Willamette Valley. And with one accord wo all agreed that Nu lain! beneath the starry dome Was better llted lor a home, Than Willamette's i-bady bowers, In which to spend lito's fleeing hours. Our camp, after having complotod tbe necessary arrangements for going Into min ing operations aud recelviug no tidings ftom our prospecting party, had learned through Capt. Merrick, an old settler who had fought valiantly under llu "Boar I-lag" raised by the foreign rasl leits to freo tbe couutry from tho tyranny of Mexican rule, prior to Fieniont'a arrival, (hatthfl most fav orable locality tor mining during tlio win er season won't! be found 01 tho Moqueluinne river some 10 miles south ot Sutter's Fort. Accordingly wo pick il oui animals, and, af tor nuking one div's. drlie, camped, and contiuJuJ in lemafu iliiire oil tho tolloiving div in tlio hop tint our pirfy now'ovoidua would rx'uni.

Orders wero Immediately issued to drive In the animals. In the mean time umdlcina hnndngos, and fresh provisions were packed, and man a tut horses sent at oneo to thlr relief. The uufortunate party had followed up tbe north branch of tho American river, until all mark of white mn disappeared, then, believing from directions which they had receded from Orei;inians, who bad returned atuir u lew divs ciei Icing among the rich pockets with a thousand or two dollars in coarse gold, came to tho conclusion that they were on the wrong branch, that there waa yet another fork lying still to tbe North. Turning to the left and ptuslng over a divid ing spur they soon discovered they war on Baar river.wbicb ran parallel with the stream they had left, and not more than six mile distatit. After a short rest they began to re trace their steps, but night coming on they camped near a small streamlet midway be l 103 tbe rivers. After taking thoir even log'n hninbln mevl and dccidin,; upon a pro gramme for tho following day, they stacked tlieir .irnid tigalust u fiiendly piue, at a short ilUtJiico from nblc'i tho family bed was splendor, Bonding his last lingering rays back against the lofty range of the Sierras, at whose b.ue this little party wero encamp ed, buoyant and hopeful ol success on the morrow, was destined to rise over the same lolty peaks to llud thoo weary travelers ov ercast with doepest gloom, tlow oftou wo are called upon to contemplate iu sorrow the cliaiigo4 that are wrought iu human ntlalra in tho twinkling of an oyel Tho wholo eas tern boundary of the mining district was bo set with roving bauds of stalwart savages, who Iu color might vie with Afric's sible sons, and as tre ichorous and cruel as any untutored enemy who ov or stealthily drew upon their victims tho sllont shafts ot death. Those dark fiends had beou lurking upon their pathway, urged on iu their villainous dosiguj, intent upon foul murder lortho cov eted reward which was to bo tho spoils strip ped from tho slain and tho plunder of the camp. About 2 o'clock in the morning they approachod within a lew yards, oui ircllng tho sleepera' lowly bod. As tho result prov ed, thoy wero all armed with well filled quivers and bows. And It Is supposed that at a preconcerted slgual they let lly their flint-barbed missiles, which of course had the effect to arouse the Imperiled camp fiom Nature's most profound repose. Orim was tbe first who sprang to his feet, to behold the death-dealing fiends by whom they were encompassed. In an instant he had leceived three wounds; life and liberty were now the prizo to be secured, and, by a powerful etlort, which he could not describe, broko through the murderous foe, aud iu a few bounds was bojoud the hundred arrows that fell harm less to tho ground in the diroction which he hud taken. Tovis, beiug second to attain a perpendicular poaitlon, clothed in white shirt and pants, was by the dim star-light a most consplcioua mark. IIo was pierced by a dozen arrows, somo of which pawned nearly through hU chest. IIo foil to rise no more on eaith. Ohio Correspondence. Ll'ONAtlDMlUllO, Ulilo, July 21, lh7.. En.
