,Engrafting the principle of Individual Liability up
on the charter of theio institutions would do much to
make them more tolerable, (if we must be cursed.
with the evil) and would tend to protect and pad
commenity'frorn snob excesses, by making it 'the
interest of every stockholder to have an insi,ghl into

The Bank of Susquehanna Cooney shows in an

Indians, who appear to have been several hundred
strong,. armed with bows and arrows. FortumeelY
an emigrating party of 40 Americans ware at the
ranch at the time. The Indians were repulsed with
the loos of about, forty , killed. A despatch reached
es the past,week from .French, askutg arms and
'catridges ; they were immediately, forwarded by
one of his partners; who Wee in the citykuthethite.
Thirteen men, in all, are reported to have been
massacred at the Pour Creeks." t ,
Another letter same date and place says:
"The Mahe have been la the valley within a
week past, - and drove oil Jose' Mario I.ope's
caballed*, amounting to seventr-fiwe houses. Fif-•
teen men (Paiaonos and Semmes) started in pur
suit, came upon toe Utahs one hundred miles from
the "Capon Pass," attacked them' and were re
pulsed with the loss of one man, a Sonorian, who
fell at the firm fire, piereed with five balls. Had it
not been for the donnas of the night thej b arty in
permit would have been nearly all kill as the
Walls were about filly atm% armed with ri fles and
revolvers." •
It will' be remembered that we• bad seine time
age , reports of the discovery of vmy rich ;silver
mien, beyond' the Sierra ,Nevada, This, like may
ny of the gold movies, appear, to have been sheer
humbug: ` •
This excitement shoat the Gctld Blatt appears to
have pretty mash subsided, though we notice an
occasional departure a a Tweet for the locality.—
That there is abundance of gold there, is without
doubt, but the extracting lit probably to o'i great far
the business to be profitable. '
It is repotted that there had been an affray be.
tween the Indians ,and the miners at and near the
Blues in which several of the former and two of
the tatter were tilled, and lonuor five wounded.—
Seven , warriors of the Indians were brought down
o the Bluffs where they were shot.

large amonm of firedamp that had accumulated in
the mine, and resulted in the death of three of the
mine.sarid the severe kiln of five others. Forte
newly no one was in the mines at the time, but
near a dozen persons were standing around the en
trance to the mine tt the time of the fadoccurrefice.
Two of the number, Messrs. Neir'site, were lestootty
kinad—ona being blown to the distance alone hue
dyed and fifty yards, and the other about fifty. A
third, Michael Ryan, was driven through the side
lli
el the Engineonse, breaking through a fo ur by
seven inch joiee of timber;in Ins passage and yet,
strange to tell, not a bone in his body was, broken,
