Chinese were driven out of Nicolaus, Sutter County, by a mob last night. We sent the following dispatch to governor:

The following dispatch from Marysville, Cal., just received at this office at half past one this morning:

“A mob attacked Chinese residents at Nicolaus, drove them on board a steamer. Ask governor to protect us immediately.”

Will you please give your immediate attention to this?
