ARRIVAL OF THE STAR OF THE WEST. The steamship, Star <•/ th* MVat, Capt.

Wo are indebted to our Key West correspondent for the following synopsis of intelligence from the Pacific. Not the least important news of the fortnight preceding the sailing of the Sierra Nevada, is that concerning the ludiau war in YYasbiugtnn aud Oregon Territories. Numerous families had been murdered, aud many valuable live* lost. Tho U. S. Sloop of War Vincennes aud steamer Active had been ordered to the seat of wur, where the Re venue Cutter Jefferson Davit aud Sloop of War Decatur were alroudy stationed. Recruits were be ing rapidly collected. 'Gen. Wool, when hist heard from, was ut Portland with the steamer California, now chartered by tho Government. The (ndiuu organization is represented as being complete, aud they seem determined to mike it a war of ex termination. They are by llo menu* tho debased, wretched race of ••digger*'’ found in some parts of the Territories, hut are quite intelligent, fierce and warlike. Thu best ludiau lighters iu California believe, that the wur will last for many months. It will probably not terminate until the principal tribes have been severely chastised and many lives lust. Cora, (lie murderer of Gen. Richardson has been arraigned nt the Fourth, District Court, and the trial would probably take place the present term.— Able counsel had been engaged for the prosecu tion anil defense. On the 30th November, at 2 o’clock, P. M., the n|>n1nge|."nl salute was fired on il,e mixing of Mr. Dillon'* Consular flHg.

Up went the flag, off' went two thousand cba|icaux. the Consul bowed, j M idamc courteaied, the crowd dispersed, and so the ) wound, d honor of all concerned ia nicely healed.

During the previous eleven month*, over $20,- 000.000 worth of gold had been coined, principal ly in $20 piece*, at tho U. 8. Branch Mint. The mines throughout the State were yielding im mensely.

Two gentlemen, named Edward T. Jones and Geo. Dewctt. who were passing nt the time, seeing a croud around the door, very natu rally *l»p|icd to see what was the matter. They went into the tavern and saw Christ, who is the proprietor of the place, on top of u man. beating him very badly with a stout club with a loaded head. The gentlemen made n remark that they did not think il was right to lie heating n man in tiint way when lie was down. Upon this, Christ immediately attacked them. Mr. Jones re ceived a blow on his head which knocked him down; Dewctt started out into the street, fol lowed by Christ, who held a large and powerful bull-dog by the collar. Upon his overtaking Dew- vtt lie struck him a severe blow, which felled him to tho earth : he theu let loose the dog upon him, w hich hit and lacerated him in a shocking manner; and every time that Dewctt would make an at tempt to rise, ho was struck on the head by this fiend.
