Afew day* since we took occasion to remind tho public of the reodincsi to desist from precipitate mid mischevious action, displayed allat once by the in- habitants of tho disaffected district. The cause of tho unnatural excitement had been properly placed before tho public mind Inthose parts, and like true Aiiio-icans, the spirit so inimical to foreign labor in themines disappeared almost instantly. . We had intended to drop farther discussion of the

subject, and leave tho taunts of our cotemporariei to recoil upon them. Tho course of the Alia in all matters involvingthe feelings and interests ofcitizens of our State, is too widelyand perfectly understood to caunu us to sutler ut the hands of hasty diiorgan- iits; and having acted our part in good faith, mid withconscientious motives, we prefer to retire from debate whenitcease* to develop seiviculile truths orbo ofcommon utility: The A!tn California and the Sonorian Trouble*.

— On thesubject ot tho recent attempted ejectment of the foreign population, inparticular tho Mexican por- turn ofit, the Alia California has spoken out. We emphatically assure our eotemporarics that their view- is tliecorrect one, and they willbe supported in it byevery respectable observer of the times in this district. Every merchant and trader is diametrically opposed to tho recent movement, ami each, heart and soul condemn, the narrow minded, narrow smiled views ofthe anti-foreigner party. Itappears to us that the most singular ignoi'auceuf the stale ofpublic opinion inthese parts exists at Sun FrtUicitco, The1 most widespread sympathy exist* in favor ofthe Mexican, whoinuinety-niue coses out oftho hundred, is a friend and excellent customer, aud weure sony tn observe that some ofour coteiuporaries in tin-most savage aud unseemly manner havo attempted toIliug obloquy aud disgrace upon so-called "grousers" and others, when our nation has thrown over them the Hag ofprotection in the most solemn manner. Inno country in Christendom would this bo tolerated ex- cept inCalifornia. Shuttle. !Shame !to spit on a man because he wasborn under awarmer sun than ihoufl upon our birth. The Mexican is ofthe utmost Ulrica in tho South-

ern mines. Wo ask those who have hud nctual ex- perience inminingoperation! inthis country, wheth- er the American, withnilhis impatience ofcontrol, his impetuous temperament, his ambitions, yearning, willever bo content to deny himself the pleasures of civilizedlifein the States, aud tor thti sake offrom four to eight dollars per day, bo content to develop tho resources of tho dry digging* of the country. We say emphatically

— No! We havo learned from

experience that lie. willnut do it. Now, however happily, the .Mexican is milderin spirit, more con- tented to endure, more willingto sutler, more weak spirited, ifyou please. This, then, in the man who should develop tho reiourcci of the dry diggings, give stability to tho credit of tin:Stat«\ and add to the monetary circulation ami commercial wealth of tho couutry. Therefore do we applniul the spirit evinced by the Alta, aud moxt heartily condemn the narrow minded views of those who cull us "recre- ants." , But itappears that more "rtcreanti" hare betrayed

themselves. The) Southern mailulso brought us the followingcopy of resolutions, adopted at a meeting of miners, which we are requested to publish. We question whether our countrymen fullyunderstand tho danger to which they subjected themselves |>y assuming such a position as the ono from which tlieir resolutions emanate. Itisa woeful reflection that these uiay*>ring down upon them the thunders ofan indignant

— daily newspaper. Wo can promise

them, however, that our citizens pay for indignation' which sometimes protitcth not, and that they havo a marvellous way of believing as much as they are pleased to,ofau editor's sincerity inthese suspicious times. Ata meeting of tho Miners of Rodgcri'i Bur,Tu-

oluume. ltiver, California, held oiltin: !)thday of Au- cust, 1850, Mr.ltuinscy was chosen Chairmuu, aud Mr.A.Alford,Secretary. The chairman stated the object of the meeting to

They were waited upon, however, hy Com- mittees from the Common Council and Militaryau- thorities

On Friday, evening, the Guard attended, bypolite invitation, the Pacific Theatre. The squatters had been dispersed, public tranqui-

lityrestored, nnd there aoeuied little left for the vo- luutsers toperform ; on Saturday they prepared to return to Sun Francisco. They had participated in the funeral rites performed over the remains of the gallant and lamented sheriffMcKinnoy,andhad been once mustered forlieldexercise, at whichthe most con- vincing proofs ofa susceptibilityofhighmilitarytrain- ingwere evinced byour citizen corps. They were pressed by the citi/eus of Sacramento and the Corpo- ration to pai take still further of the hospitalities ge- nerously provided for them, and on the mustering of the company preparatory to taking leave, itwas elo- quently addressed hy Col.

viewwithhis Honor Mayor Bigelnw, on Kriilaylast, and publishes tho following information relative to the present condition ofthat gentleman: Mr.Bigelow's symptoms continue favorable to thehopes ofhi.s ultimate recovery. Itlinn linen deemed

advisable by his physicians that lie»hnulil lieus un- disturbed as possible l>y visitors. His anxiety has been constant and increasing, to learn ull thr- fearful details ofthe tragedy in whichho bore a part, and of the subsequent occurrences which could not ho en- tirelyconcealed fromhim. Heis now cognizant of nilthat has transpired since the moment lieleft the licldof action. Tho death of Air. Woodland was* known tohim. When that of our devoted Sheriff was mentioned, he become painfully affected. Ho said that ho hud never expected himself to survive theconllict, should it should it come to arms, but ho had thought that the mad spiritoftheinvaders would have heen satiated withv sacrifice short of that which now seemed to be required to appease their wrath. Mr. U.deprecates any indifference to preserving a careful guard of the city, although he deems the threats ofdanger from reinforcements in the mines as (|iiitounfounded. So determined, however, have heen the bloody purposes ofthe Squatters latelyman* ifcxted, that it behooves every vigilance to be exer- cised to secure personal safety, especially to those who have most provoked their animosity. Tho Mayor expressed his great gratification nt the

immediate and numerous rally of the> citizens of Sail Francisco to the aid ofour townsmen. Fiementioned very many friends among the Guard,' whom he re- gretted he could not sen and welcome, lie was as- sured that every hospitality and appreciation would be shown to them uud the members ofthe Fire Com- patty, who had also heard und obeyed the first inti- mation ofdanger. Itwas not proper that Mr^Bige- low .should converse much, hut he said enough to show the abiding interest he feels in all that concerns the honor nnd welfare of Sacramento. Along und weary confinement yet awaits him, ere he may be restored to the sphere ofexertion inwhich his labors have met the united approbation ofan entire commu- nity;hut his thoughts and cares are .still directed to the promotion of tin-security and prosperity ofallour citizens, among whom he justly and universally re- ceives tho highest respect both as a magistrate mid a man. The bull which passed near or through the liver has caused the wound from which the most danger is to be apprehended. There are some evi- dences that the liver itself has been injured. Some iiain is experienced in that part, principallyariiing, however, from the overcharged stomach, caused by the frequent draughts of water taken by the patient to relievo v constant thirst. The wound upon tho hand is very much lacerated, and will require tho greatest care to prevent serious inflammation. Tho very great heat of thi» weather demands unceasing attention from those to whose charge Mr. Uigelowis t'onlidcd. We 11:i11:iv••never seen more devotion to the wants of the tick than has been evinced hitherto by I>rs. Hillings, I'Mwards and Ames inhis castf. We have hopes that v strong constitution and the

most diligent cure may combine to restore Mr.Bige> low to theposition in which he Ins rendered such eminent service to our people, hut it is not tohe dis- guised that his condition isnow, uud iiiiivfor some time continue critical. Mr. Harper, we tireglnilto learn from many ofhis

“The Alta and the Sonora Difficulties.”

As some of the friends of this paper in the city press of San Francisco have exhibited to a certain degree an impertinent curiousity to witness the result of opinions advanced by us concerning the recent very patriotic rebellion in the Southern mines, we have thought proper to place before them and our readers the following editorial on the subject, which is extracted from the last number of the Stockton Times. This paper was the first established in the San Joaquin District, and the views of its talented editor are generally respected and seldom disputed. A few days since we took occasion to remind the public of the readiness to desist from precipitate and mischevious action, displayed all at once by the inhabitants of the disaffected district. The cause of the unnatural excitement had been properly placed before the public mind In those parts, and like true Americans, the spirit so inimical to foreign labor in the mines disappeared almost instantly. . We had intended to drop farther discussion of the subject, and leave the taunts of our cotemporaries to recoil upon them. The course of the Alta in all matters involving the feelings and interests of citizens of our State, is too widely and perfectly understood to cause us to sutler at the hands of hasty disorganists; and having acted our part in good faith, and with conscientious motives, we prefer to retire from debate when it ceases to develop servicable truths or be of common utility: The Alta California and the Sonorian Troubles. — On the subject ot the recent attempted ejectment of the foreign population, in particular the Mexican porturn of it, the Alta California has spoken out. We emphatically assure our cotemporaries that their viewis the correct one, and they will be supported in it by every respectable observer of the times in this district. Every merchant and trader is diametrically opposed to the recent movement, and each, heart and soul condemn, the narrow minded, narrow souled views of the anti-foreigner party. It appears to us that the most singular ignorance of the state of public opinion in these parts exists at San Francisco, The most widespread sympathy exists in favor of the Mexican, who in ninety-nine cases out of the hundred, is a friend and excellent customer, and we are sorry tn observe that some of our coteiuporaries in the most savage aud unseemly manner have attempted to fling obloquy and disgrace upon so-called "greasers" and others, when our nation has thrown over them the flag of protection in the most solemn manner. In no country in Christendom would this be tolerated except in California. Shame! Shame! to spit on a man because he was born under a warmer sun than shone upon our birth. The Mexican is of the utmost service in the Southern mines. We ask those who have had actual experience in mining operations in this country, whether the American, with all his impatience of control, his impetuous temperament, his ambitions, yearning, will ever be content to deny himself the pleasures of civilized life in the States, and for the sake of from four to eight dollars per day, be content to develop the resources of the dry diggings of the country. We say emphatically—No! We have learned from experience that he will not do it. Now, however happily, the .Mexican is milder in spirit, more contented to endure, more willing to suffer, more weak spirited, if you please. This, then, in the man who should develop the resources of the dry diggings, give stability to tho credit of the State, and add to the monetary circulation and commercial wealth of the country. Therefore do we applaud the spirit evinced by the Alta, and most heartily condemn the narrow minded views of those who call us "recreants." But it appears that more "recreants" have betrayed themselves. The Southern mail also brought us the following copy of resolutions, adopted at a meeting of miners, which we are requested to publish. We question whether our countrymen fully understand the danger to which they subjected themselves by assuming such a position as the one from which their resolutions emanate. It is a woeful reflection that these may bring down upon them the thunders of an indignant—daily newspaper. We can promise them, however, that our citizens pay for indignation which sometimes profiteth not, and that they have a marvellous way of believing as much as they are pleased to, of an editor's sincerity in these suspicious times. At a meeting of tho Miners of Rodgers Bar, Tuolumne River, California, held on the 9th day of August, 1850, Mr. Ramsey was chosen Chairman, and Mr. A. Alford, Secretary. The chairman stated the object of the meeting to be, to take into consideration the most feasible plan of allaying the public excitement, and providing for the general safety. E. Burke, Esq. offered the following Resoliitious which were unanimously adopted: whereas, the great excitement prevailing in the public miond, growing out of the numerous cases of robbery and murder which have recently been committed in this community, has been taken advantage of by many persons of desperate character,w ho under the pretext of redressing public wrongs and providing for their own safety, have been builty of the most flagitious conduct towards the Mexican portion of the population. Many persons of Spanish origin, against whom there had not been a word of complaint, have been murdered by these ruffians. Others have been robbed of their horses, mules, arms, and even money, by these persons, while acting as they pretended under the authority of law. And as the natural consequence of this course of conduct on the part of these Americans is to irritate, and make enemies of the civil and well disposed of the Mexicans, Therefore, Resolved, That the citizens of this Bar will discountenance any act of violence committed against peaceable persons of any race living or traveling in this community, and will use every means in their power to bring all men guilty of offences against such persons, to speedy punishment. Resolved, That we will suffer no person who may be associated with these American guerrillas, to remain on this Bar. Resolved, That the Alta California, San Francisco, and Stockton Times be requested to publish these proceedings. Robert Ramsey, Chairman. A. Alford, Secretary.
