There is an air permanence and progress in the improvements we noticed, which gave cheering evidence of the still increasing growth of the county, both as regard wealth and population. There is yet plenty of good land obtainable in San Mateo county at low prices, and what with the low taxes, good soil, health climate, and the near proximity of the great mart, San Francisco, there is not a more desirable location for a home for farmers in this State than in San Mateo county. FROM CARSON VALLEY Telegraphic dispatches from Carson Valley to San Francisco, May 30, state "the Pony Express has been cut off. The stations are mostly burned and the stock has been driven off. No one has any hopes that it will arrive, and it is not believed that the last one went through. In the skirmish yesterday, near Willows' the Indians invited the volunteers out before breakfast. Six Indians were killed. The Indians were prepared and anxious to fight in every direction. The disturbance extends far toward Salt Lake as we can learn, and fears for the southern country are also entertained." The follow account of the battle of the 29th is given by Dr. R. Bell, who accompanies the volunteers as surgeon: "This morning, about nine o'clock, the Indians appears on the hills. At the same time we learned that Captain Fleeson's company had been cut off. Colonel Hays, with a portion of our forces, hastened to their relief, and found two of the parties wounded, one in the thigh, the other in the chest - both slightly. We had a smart brush with about two hundred Indians, completely routing them. We do not know how many of them are killed. They fought shy. None of our men were killed. Some horses were wounded. Colonel Hays ordered his forces into camp, as he did not wish to ear down his horses, following them through the deep sands. We now number about five hundred men. TROUTING - The most delicious fish known to epicures are the mountain trout found in great abundance in the various steams having their source in the Sierra Morena and the adjacent hills. On the banks of the Purissima, San Mateo, and many other fine streams, the Isaac Waltons, are now having rare sport with these finny delicacies, and almost every evening they many be seen carrying home long strings of them, which are by no means an unpleasant sight - suggestive of rare sport at the brookside.
