SAN FRANCISCO, April 19.
We have news from British Columbia to the 16th. Spring had opened, and miners in crowds were leaving Victoria for the gold fields.
Col. Carlton, with about three hundred California volunteers and a battery, left the south eastern boarder of this State on a secret expedition, some say for Arizona and New Mexico, others for Salt Lake.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 22.
The Indians are again showing symptoms of hostility on the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada. A party of whites were killed by them on the 13th, near Owens river, in the Esmeralda district of Salt Lake. It is reported that they have destroyed several mail stations, stolen mails and killed several employees of the overland mail. The mails are temporarily stopped, and the telegraph lines are liable to destruction at any moment. A regiment of California volunteers now in this State, should be ordered to duty on the plains at once.
