Treasure for China - Incorporations - The Late Defalcation
- Judgement - Arrival from the North - Mail and
Treasure by the Golden Age - Sudden Death
Steamer Robert Low, for China, yesterday carried
$501, 220.60 and cargo valued at $31,000.
The following companies were incorporated yesterday:
Best Chance Gold and Silver for Echo District, Nevada Territory - capital,
$90,000; Pauline, for Esmeralda - capital, $300,000; Noble Copper Company,
Calaveras county - capital, $1,000,000.
MARCHUTZ, late Public Administrator, speculated in greenbacks
and mining stock, which was the cause of his defalcation. It is shown that he
was attempting to leave the State when arrested at Placerville. John AGNEW obtained judgement
last night for $2,295, value of the stallion Commodore, and 880, value of his
services. The animal was killed by explosion of the steamer Contra Costa in
1859.
Steamer Sierra Nevada, from Victoria and Oregon,
arrived this morning; she brings $49,996 in treasure, and 58 passengers.
The steamer Golden Age, which arrived
last evening brought 12 packages of mail matter, and five boxes of treasure
from the Golden Gate wreck. The body of a man came ashore near the Ocean
House to-day.
A Frenchman named GUED dropped dead on the
Mission road.
The weather is very warm.
The statement that G.W. POOLE was expelled
from his company for larceny is a mistake. He was arrested under a
misapprehension, and is fully exonerated.
Late from the North.
YREKA, March 1st.
We have Portland dates to February 23d.
On the evening of the 22d a little daughter
of MAXWELL, of Lynn county, fell into a tub of boiling water, and was scalded
to death. Letters from the Boise mines
say that gulches seven feet deep will average 25 cents to the pan from the top
down.
The Lewiston Age says the reported capture and
subsequent hanging of MAYFIELD and PLUMMER is untrue and without the slightest
foundation. Parties claiming to know
what they say assert that the reported late attempt to fit out a rebel
privateer at Victoria was true, and that the project fell through from want of
harmony among those connected with the enterprise.
Nehemiah NORTHRUP, an old printer, died in Portland
February 18th. He was one of the original proprietors of the San
Francisco Journal. The Indians on the Snake
and Boise rivers are becoming very troublesome, they steal whenever opportunity
offers. [An Indian generally does. - Ed.

One
J.W. SMYTHE of
Portland has been missing since the 29th of January. William REILEY, tried for the murder of A.C.
HUMPHREYS in Jackson county, has been convicted of murder in the second
degree. Captain John F. NOBLE has opened
a recruiting office in Salem.
[Correspondence of the Union.]
HUMBOLDT CITY, February 18, 1863 Our
Town and its Facilities.
Our Winter is pleasantly passing away, and but
little of interest has transpired here since my last, save that we have a
tri-weekly United States mail established, which gives us less cause of
complaint about letters. One COWLES has taken the contract, and is now carrying
the mail matter horseback, with the intention of running passenger wagons next Spring. Not long ago
a considerable excitement was raised here by the reported discovery of a rich
gold lead in the first range east of this. Men rushed madly thither, some on
horseback, with pack animals, mules and jacks; others on foot, packing their
provisions, blankets and prospecting tools. The mania continued to rage for
days, but, as is common, the disappointed gold seekers soon began to return,
cursing the cause that led them away. And what is strange, men rush to these
excitements who have the best claims in these
mountains, and more feet than they can take care of.

Insanity - Arson Case - Incorporations - The
Interpolation Case – Cargo Damaged
James MOUNTAIN, who shot and killed Edward MURPHY on
Market street last August was tried for insanity
to-day before a full jury, in the Twelfth District Court. The verdict is that
MOUNTAIN is insane at this date. The question, was he insane at the time of the
killing, was not tried; but that would be the ground of defense in the event of
the restoration of his reason. He seems to be insane on religious
subjects. James SMITH, the young man who
set fire to BRIGGS’ warehouse to conceal his robberies, committed to obtain
money to pay gambling debts, pleaded guilty to arson in the second degree
to-day.
The following mining companies incorporated: San
Francisco Copper Mining Company, for Campo Seco
District, Calaveras county capital stock $540,000;
Buenaventura Gold and Silver Mining Company,
for Aurora, Mono county, capital stock $140,000; East Antelope, for Esmeralda,
capital stock $300,000.
J.R. CORVELL, charged with interpolating the
engrossed Swamp and Tide Land Bill, was dismissed in the Police Court to-day,
on the ground that it was not a public document.
Another body, supposed to be of the Beeswing crew,
has come ashore in San Mateo county.
About one-third of the cargo of the British ship
Sardinian, from Hongkong, is damaged by sea-water.

Monday, March 16, 1863
FOR STOCKTON - The insane Italian who has been
confined at the station house three or four days, and whose condition was such on
Friday night that his recovery was deemed doubtful, has greatly improved as to
health, and will be sent to Stockton to-day. It is ascertained that his name is
Agostino GUIRELO; that he has been subject to spells
of insanity for several years, resulting from having been badly burned on the
back by some accident in the mountains. He stated to a friend yesterday that a
relative in San Francisco had defrauded him out of his property.
POLICE COURT - There was but little business done in
the Police Court on Saturday. In the case of Mrs. SMITH, charged with selling
liquor without a license, the charge was dismissed on payment of costs and
agreement on the part of defendant to procure license. In the case of M.T.
CROWELL, charged with assault and battery, committed some ten days ago, on P.B.
BURBANK, the defendant withdrew the former plea of not guilty and entered a
plea of guilty. Sentence deferred until to-day.
WAS NOT GOING - We understand that J.H. GASS informs
his friends that he had no intention of leaving the State on board the Shawmut,
but that he and his sister merely went on board the vessel to see F. FRANKS and
his wife off, and designed to return to San Francisco in the pilot boat. The
circumstances of the Shawmut striking Mile Rock did not, it appears from this
statement, interfere in the least with his plans and designs.
J. H. GASS - Since Friday evening, J.H. GASS, in
default of bail, has occupied an apartment in the county jail. It is supposed
that an effort will be made to obtain a reduction in bail, and that he will
thereupon be released. The report gains credence that others are implicated in
some of his illegal transactions, and that a strong effort will therefore be
made to secure his ultimate discharge.
ARRESTS - A man named Thomas MINNICH was arrested on
Saturday by officer CHILDS, on a charge of being drunk and sleeping on the
sidewalk. A Mexican named Intarach was arrested by officer CHAMBERLAIN on a charge of vagrancy. Intarach had camped
for some time in a hollow tree near Ninth and C streets, and was suspected of
earning his living by stealing.
SUPREME COURT - In the Supreme Court on Saturday, in
the case of the Trustees of Columbia College vs. Ish,
on motion of appellant and stipulation filed, leave was given to withdraw
transcript. VERZAN vs. McGREGOR - On
motion of BEATTY of counsel, and stipulation, leave given to withdraw
transcript.
COURT IN YOLO - Judge McKUNE,
of the Sixth Judicial District, will, according to law, open Court this morning
at Woodland, Yolo county. A week’s time will probably
finish up the business of the term.
ADMITTED TO PRACTICE - J.B. BARKER was on Saturday,
on motion of H.O. BEATTY, and filing
affidavit of admission to the Supreme Court of the State of Illinois, admitted
to practice in the Supreme Court.
FOR TRIAL TO DAY - Richard DELANY and Peter DOWNS
will be tried in the Court of Sessions to day on a charge of grand larceny, in
robbing a miner at the saloon of NEARY & BREEN.
INSANE - Lieutenant CHAMBERLAIN arrested an unknown
man last evening on suspicion of insanity.
DEATHS - Five deaths occurred in the city during the
past week, as appears from the mortality report.
SHOOTING - Two men named RAMSEY have been bound over
in Solano county for shooting one John GOAKLEY in
Green Valley, in a dispute about land. The wound is not serious.
SAD ACCIDENT - At Yreka
lately, a little daughter of one SCHEID, while playing in a swing, broke one of
her legs.
WARNING TO DESERTERS - The
Grand Jury of New York dismissed the complaint against Michael BRADY, who,
while acting as a member of the Provost Marshal’s guard, shot a deserter who
was escaping from him.
GOOD CLAIM - One-eighth interest in the SPANGLER
claim on the lower end of Humbug, in Siskiyou county, was bought lately by one
Alexander MOORE for $2,500.
FURTHER ACCOUNT OF THE STEAM TUG MERRIMAC DISASTER -
The Body of Captain
J.S. GARWOOD was found on Saturday late on the beach
one mile north of Eel river, and thirteen miles south
of Humboldt bar. He was drowned when the steam tug Merrimac was recently lost
on the Humboldt bar. His body was brought down to this city by the steamer
Panama. We are informed that the bodies of two or three drowned persons have
been found who were on the Merrimac. The Humboldt Times of March 7th
says, however, that none had ben found previous to
the 6th instant. - Bulletin, Mar. 14th.
INDIANS KILLED - The Oroville Union of March 14th
says:
We learn from a gentleman who came down from Chico
on Thursday that a party of whites, a few days ago, residing some seven or
eight miles above that place, killed three Indians who were employed on a ranch
in the vicinity, on suspicion that they were in league with the mountain
Indians who committed the late outrages.
SUICIDE BY HANGING - A Frenchman
named Peter COOK committed suicide by hanging himself in his cabin at Empire
Flat, not far from French Corral, Nevada county, on Wednesday, March 11th.
Drink is assigned as the cause.
ACCIDENT - A man named Benjamin T. CONGER, while returning
from French Corral to San Juan lately, was run away with by his horse, leaped
from his buggy and had his leg broken.
KILLING INDIANS - The Humboldt Times of March 7th
has the following:
We learn from K.N. GEAR, who passed Fort Seward last
week, that the “mocassin men” at that place killed
twenty-three Indians a few days ago. One of the men had gone out hunting and
camped for the night, when the Indians commenced coming into his camp, a few at
a time, till seventeen had intruded their presence upon him. He was satisfied
they intended to murder him, and accordingly set his wits to work to save his
bacon. He proposed to stop there with them and they would hunt and kill game
together. This the Indians agreed to, and the bucks started out for a hunt. Going
near Fort Seward, where the balance of the whites were stopping, the three
Indians forgot to come back to camp in the evening, but in their stead about
fifteen white men came. They found twenty Indians in camp and left them where
they were found - but they will tell no tales.
SINGULAR CONDUCT - The Mountain Democrat of March 14th
relates the following:
A fine looking, well-dressed young man named George
P. CHAPMAN, formerly from Salina, New York, but of late a resident of San
Francisco, was seen on Thursday, near Smith’s Flat, stabbing himself with a
pocket knife in the left breast. When arrested eight severe but not dangerous
cuts were discovered over his heart. He had in his possession a small amount of
gold coin and a $500 United States sever per cent bond, payable to his own
order, which he offered to a gentleman who arrested him for a revolver with
which to shoot himself. He was laboring under a temporary fit of derangement.
He was brought to town and placed under the charge of Sheriff HUNTER, who has
his money, etc.
OF COURSE - To ensure the departure of the rebel
Terry for Texas, the Dutch Flat Enquirer (Secession) says:
As a brother of Judge TERRY died recently, it is
probable that he will visit Texas and look after the estate before it is
confiscated by the Confederates.

MIKE BRANNIGAN DISCHARGED - In
the Court of Sessions yesterday morning J.W. COFFROTH, one of the counsel for
the State in the case of The People vs. BRANNIGAN, stated that the principal witness in the case,
Edith MITCHELL, was at Victoria, and would not return to California to testify on
the trial of the cause. He was therefore willing, with the consent of the
District Attorney, that a nolle prosequi
should be entered and the defendant discharged. There being no objection to the
proposition, the order was entered, and Mike was released form
the annoyance and perplexity of a second trial.
THE WRONG CAN - A few days ago, at one of our city
hotels, the cook was somewhat surprised, on resorting to the milk can just left
by the milkman, to find that it contained nothing but pure water. On demanding
an explanation of the milkman, on his next return, he frankly acknowledged
that, instead of bringing in a can of milk properly diluted with water, he had
by mistake left that which contained the diluting substance itself. He had
designed, as was his custom, to distribute the water pro rata among his
customers. The unreasonable landlord gave full credence to the explanation, but
at once changed milkmen.
INSANE - A man named Michael CODY was yesterday
arrested by officer CHILDS and taken to the station house on suspicion of
insanity. He was removed during the afternoon to the County Hospital. Bertha
ALVERDE, who was on Monday taken to the station house on account of insanity
and released was again taken in charge by officer
CHILDS. She was subsequently visited by the Examining Committee, and pronounced
insane. She will probably be taken to Stockton to-day.
THE CHAIN GANG - The chain gang, under the
supervision of Overseers DREMAN and LONG, was engaged yesterday in repairing
the J street bridge and in reconstructing the road
formerly built across the slough, a short distance below the bridge.

Cavalry Battalion - Habeas
Corpus Case - Fire - Incorporations - The Market -
Arrival From San Pedro
Steamship Constitution got off about noon with the
California Cavalry Battalion, number three hundred and seven officers and men.
There was an immense crowd to see the volunteers off, and cheer upon cheer was
given. The uniformed militia of the city composed the escort and the salutes
were fired by a section of the old California Guard Artillery. A full military
brass band was in attendance. There were
about ninety cabin passengers. The shipments of treasure were to New York,

The United States Steamer Saginaw - Marriage Suit -
Insurance Company
Organized - Incorporations - Suicide
The United States steamer Saginaw is to sail
immediately for a cruise down the Mexican coast. The object of the cruise in
only conjectured, but it is rumored that the steamer has been placed by
Government temporarily at the disposal of Collector RANKIN, who will send her
on an expedition to certain ports down the coast to arrest certain parties
concerned in the CHAPMAN privateer enterprise, on information disclosed by the
investigation now being held in Fort Alcatraz. This is all rumor - no facts
obtainable. In the case of Lucy EAGER
against Almarin GROW, the Fourth District Court
to-day decided that the marriage contract was null, for the reason that
defendant has another wife living.
Sergeant LAWLER was to-day fined $50 for assault
upon Captain RYAN. Manuel GERKEN has
been discharged from custody by orders from the State Prison Directors.
The Gould & Curry declares a dividend of $100
per foot.
The Pacific Mutual Insurance Company was fully
organized this afternoon. There are 100
shares at $5,000 per share. Seventy-five shares are already taken, the balance
reserved for future distribution.
The Buena Vista Vinicultural
Association incorporated to-day.
The company will purchase land in Sonoma and Napa counties, and cultivate all
descriptions of fruits, grains and plants. Some of the principal vine growers,
including Colonel HARASZTHY, are engaged in the enterprise. Experiments will be made with foreign fruits
and cereals. The capital stock is $600,000, in 100 shares.
The following mining companies were incorporated
to-day: Comstock Gold and Silver, Sugar Pine district, Tuolumne county; capital
$200,000. Queen Bee Gold and Silver, Bodie
district, Mono county; capital stock $220,000. Santa
Cruz Silver, Lower California; capital stock $120,000. Empire Gold Silver, Coso district, Tulare
county; capital stock $120,000. Rhodes’ Northeast Extension Gold, Sacramento;
capital stock $300,000. Insurance Gold and Silver, Virginia district, N.T.;
capital stock $500,00. La Plata,
Gold Hill, Story county, N.T.; capital stock $900,000; Golden Ear Tunnel,
Esmeralda; capital stock $100,000.
Schooner Guilhlis, from
Punta Arenas, brings 90,000 pounds of coffee, to Larco.
Mrs. LEVY, who lived with her husband, corner of Dupont street and Sullivan’s alley, where they kept a dry
goods store, committed suicide to-night by cutting her throat from ear to ear.
No cause assigned.
ATTEMPT AT ROBBERY AND MURDER - The Grass Valley
National of March 26th related the following case of a most daring
outrage:
Tuesday evening at about half-past nine o’clock a
most daring attempt at robbery was made at the residence of E. COLEMAN, of the
North Star Quartz Mining Company, French Lead. COLEMAN had been to town and
returned at the hour above mentioned, and while sitting in his room reading the
paper some person knocked at the door, on opening which he found a pistol
presented at his dead by a man in disguise.
His only show was then to step behind the door, and as the robber forced
his way in, COLEMAN seized him, and a scuffle ensued, during which both fell to
the floor. The noise made by him attracted the attention of a companion of the
robber, who, it seems, was stationed outside, and who thereupon rushed in,
struck COLEMAN with a knife, and being a powerful man, dragged him off his
companion, and hurling him against the wall, succeeded in stunning him for a
moment, during which time they both escaped from the house. COLEMAN as soon as
he recovered pursued the robbers and succeeded in overtaking them, upon which
they turned upon him and threatened to shoot him if he made any attempt at
molesting them, and being without a weapon of any kind he was thus compelled to
let the robbers escape. Both of the men had their faces blackened, and no doubt
had followed COLEMAN from town. Their object evidently was to intimidate him,
and then force him to open the Company’ s safe. This
attempt is the more daring from the fact that all the neighboring houses had
lights burning, the inmates not having retired to rest. We are happy to learn
that the wound received by COLEMAN is but a slight one, the robber evidently
having missed his aim. COLEMAN displayed great bravery and coolness in the
affair, and with anything like an equal chance would have “saved” the ruffians.

Steamship Orizaba carried
only forty-five passengers all told, and $1,104,699 in treasure. The steamer carried
freight valued at $11,000 for New York.
A private dispatch from
Boston, received at noon to day, announces the
arrival of ship Regulator, heretofore reported burned. Greenbacks left off at 64.
Seven or eight frame
buildings at the northeast corner of Powell and Chestnut streets, owned by Dr.
H.A. DAPIERRIS, were destroyed by fire between three and four o?clock this morning. As the wind was blowing, the flames
were very rapid, and many of the inmates escaped only in their night clothes.
The buildings were valued at $5,000; no insurance. W.V. OPPENHEIM?s soap factory was consumed; loss, $2,500. The buildings
were set on fire. There have been rumors
afloat some days past that rich and extensive gold mines
have been found in Mt. Diablo. Upwards of a thousand persons
have gone from this city. There is some belief that the story was gotten
up to benefit steamboat and stage interests.
Notice is given at the
Custom House that vessels navigating waters between
Mare Island and Vallejo must show their colors in the day time, and will not be
allowed to pass at night without first communicating their intentions to the
commandant.
The French corvette
Corneille displayed her flags at half mast and fired hour guns to-day, in
commemoration of Good Friday.
Silver Lode Near Dutch Flat - The Dutch Flat Enquirer of April 2d has
the following:
It is reported, and we doubt
not on good authority, that an extensive and rich silver ledge has been struck
but a short distance from our town. The first point discovered was upon Cold
Springs Hill, about two and a half miles from Dutch Flat. As soon as it became
known, hundreds of miners and speculators rushed to the silver region, and, no
doubt, with bright dreams upon their future prospects. The staking off process
was immediately commenced, and in a few hours those who were fortunate enough
to be first on the ground had secured for themselves and friends several
thousand feet. Representations are made
that two assays have been made of rock taken from his ledge, one in San Francisco
and the other in Washoe, and the returns made show the yield to be, in silver,
$20, and in gold, $5 per ton. If this statement be correct, no reasonable doubt
can exist as to the richness and extent of the silver and gold leads in the
Dutch Flat and Mountain Springs Districts.

FATAL AFFRAY - A fatal affray
occurred at Grizzly Bend, nine miles below Chico, lately, between two men named
respectively Daniel CASEY and Frank BIRDSALL, in the course of which the former
was stabbed several times by the latter, and so severely that he died the next
morning. The difficulty was about some land on which CASEY was located.
BIRDSALL gave himself up at Chico, and was held to bail in $1,000 to answer the
charge of manslaughter. He says he was
unconscious of having inflicted the fatal blow.
SENT UP - William FITZPATRICK,
lately arrested in Sacramento for cutting night watchman BROWN of the Tehama
House, San Francisco, has been identified there, and sent up to the Court of
Sessions for trial, bail having been demanded in the sum of $1,000.
MATTERS AT AURORA - A correspondent of the Union, writing from this place, March
30th, says:
Last night again, two stages
came in, with twenty-six passengers, and it is a marvel to the citizens where
they all find lodgings and accommodation.
The Wide West Company have been digging a well
for water for their mill, for the past two weeks. They now have it about
completed, with twelve to fifteen feet of water, which is supposed to be ample
for their purposes. The mill commenced crushing their rock this morning, and works admirably. It is far the best mill in the
district, and has twenty stamps (straight battery), and forty Walekce paws, with the most approved machinery. They are
running a tunnel to their ledge, so as to bring the rock direct to the
batteries. The Antelope mill is running constantly, crushing rock from their
ledge, of which they are taking out an abundance. The Bodie mill has a contract to crush 1,000 tons of rock from
the Bodie Consolidation No. 1. The Union mill is
crushing rock from the Pond ledge, which yields from forty to seventy dollars
to the ton, and they have hardly got their ledge opened. Gregroy’s mill is
crushing from the Sunbeam ledge, which is also scarcely opened. Winters’ mill has been sold to the Del Norte
Consolidation Company. Last night, when
the stage arrived from Carson, news was brought in that the previous evening as
two horses were standing in front of Jack WRIGHT’s, the stage station on the
east branch of Walker river, a man mounted one of them and started at full
speed for this place. Two men from the station mounted horses and rode in
pursuit, overtaking him near Sweetwater, about thirty miles distant. They
called to him to stop, and which he paid no attention, when one of them drew a
pistol and shot him. The person who fired the pistol took off the man?s coat and put it under his
head, and left him. As the stage passed,
twenty-four hours after, the corpse was lying by the roadside. The dead man is
a stranger. The Coroner of Mono county was notified of
the fact, but he decided it was out of his jurisdiction and declined attending
to the case.
[ The individual referred to
above as having been shot is supposed to be James SEARS, whose case was lately
mentioned in the Union. - Eds. Union.] The Virginia
Union has the following version of this affair:
A communication to the
Virginia Daily Union, and dated at Wright’s Bridge, March 30th,
tells us that while a traveler was at dinner in Maybury’s
Station, a man boldly stole his horse and rode off. The traveler went to
Wright’s Bridge, on the road between Genoa and Aurora, and having told his story, young RODGERS mounted a horse and started in pursuit
of the thief. He came up with him at Sweetwater Ranch, and commanded him to
stop; but he rode the faster, and
RODGERS gave chase, calling upon him to stop; but failing in her persuasion, he
drew his pistol and shot the thief, killing him almost instantly. The name of
the man killed is not known. RODGERS is justified by all the people living in
the section of country where he belongs.

The account given by exchanged
officers, lately confined as prisoners
in Richmond, of a riot of women in that city, if reliable, may be
considered as pretty strong testimony of the scarcity of food in that region.
The women would have bread, and they broke open public and private stores in
order to obtain it. It is the first affair of the kind that has ever occurred
in the United States, though such riots have been witnessed in the city of
Paris. A community must be in a terrible state of destitution where the women
arm themselves by thousands and demand bread.
FATAL ACCIDENT- On Thursday,
April 9th, John TURNER, known as Peg Leg Turner, met with a fatal
accident in Butte county. As he was riding a horse on
LYNCH?s ranch, about twelve miles below Oroville, the horse becoming frightened,
threw TURNER, his head striking a stake and causing his death.
UNION LEAGUE IN TRINITY
COUNTY - A correspondent of the Union, writing from
Douglas City, Trinity
county, April 7th, give the following
particulars of the forming of a Union League in that place. Let others “go and
do likewise.”
Having noticed in your truly
patriotic paper several editorials urging the necessity of a more perfect
organization of Union men in the State, and suggesting the formation of Union
Leagues, in imitation of those existing in the Eastern States, I have deemed it
proper to inform you that the Union men of this district have already organized
and established an institution under the name of the ?Douglas City Union
League,? with Constitution and ritual adopted, numbering
over one hundred members. We have possibly been premature in our action [Not at
all. Eds. Union]; but conceived it at this time to be necessary; have acted and
are willing to leave it to you for elaboration as an example fit to be followed
in other portions of the State. We expect within the next two weeks to have
established with uniformity one in every election precinct in this county. I
have written the Union Central Committee, advising them of our action, and
urging the recommendation for the establishment of similar institutions in
other portions of the State. Uniformity
would, however, seem to be necessary, and for this purpose we will with
pleasure, upon proper application, furnish to parties in any part of the State
a printed copy of our Constitution and working ritual, provided the application
comes signed by parties properly qualified by attestation as to their loyalty
and devotion to this Government. It might be proper for me to suggest that in
districts having militia companies the members of such should be induced to for the nucleus.
NICARAGUA ROUTE - By a dispatch from New York to the agent here we learn that
the America, with the passengers hence by steamer Moses Taylor, March 11th,
arrived in New York on the morning of the 8th of April, they having
crossed the Isthmus of Nicaragua without detention or trouble of any kind. The dispatch also states that the Moses
Taylor would not be due at San Francisco before the 16th or 17th,
being obliged to go to Realejo for coal. To avoid this detention, the Company intend
coaling hereafter at Acapulco. The
clipper-ship White Falcon, with 1,500 tons of coal, will be dispatched for that
port immediately, in order to give the Moses Taylor her coal on her next trip.
COAL MINE - A rich coal mine
was discovered a few days since but a short distance from the new silver mines
between the South and Cold forks of Cottonwood, about eighteen miles from Red
Bluff. The mine is said to be extensive, the lead which was discovered being
six feet thick, pure coal, and burns finely, leaving but little if any ashes.
ROBBERY IN
CALAVERAS - On Friday evening, April 3d, the dwelling of M. KADISCH, on Sandy Gulch,
was entered and robbed by an American, a Corsican and two Mexicans of $550 in
gold dust and coin. The Corsican was captured and committed to the
county jail. One of the Mexicans was shot by a party who went in pursuit of the
robbers.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT - A man named ROBINSON, barkeeper at the Lick House, San Francisco,
was thrown from a buggy lately and sustained a very serious compound fracture
of one of his legs. He was riding on the beach with a companion, when his horse
became unmanageable and overturned the vehicle.
DEATH OF AN EDITOR - Reese
C. FLEESON, one of the editors of the Pittsburg (Pa.) Dispatch, died in that
city on March 16th, after a protracted illness. FLEESON has been connected with the Dispatch
for fifteen years, and with the Pittsburg press for a
much longer period.
ACCIDENT - On Thursday night,
April 9th, the house of Mrs. CONNOLLY, in Lancha
Plana, was destroyed by fire. Mrs. CONNOLLY and her child were badly burned,
and it is thought she can hardly survive. Her husband is at present in the Cariboo mines.
MORE GOOD THINGS - It is
claimed by a paper at Virginia City that a miner is the Humboldt region, while
running a tunnel, struck a lead of a substance that looks like cotton batting,
and states that ship loads of it can be secured. The San Francisco Herald
mentions a rumor that a starch mine has been found in Alameda county. Stock is held at stiff rates. Encouraged by this the
discoverers are prospecting for shirt buttons, and had already found indication
of a clothes line lead!
TROUT - Messrs. APPLETON
& MILLS of San Francisco returned lately from a trouting
excursion to Half Moon Bay country, having captured in twenty-six hours
fishing, the round number of seven hundred trout.
HORRIBLE CRUELTY - Mary
NELL, an Irishwoman, thirty-eight years of age, was
arrested lately in New York, charged
with causing the death of her male child, aged five years, by burning it in
such a terrible manner that it died.
FOUND DEAD - J.C. BRADBURY,
a native of Massachusetts, was found dead in a room over his carpenter shop at
Petaluma lately. He was habituated to excessive drinking.
ACCIDENT - Joseph SCHUPERT,
of Napa, aged four years, while handling a butcher knife, lately, stuck the
point into his right eye, entirely destroying the sight.

HORRIBLE MURDERS ON HAWAII -
By the arrival of the Nettie Merill,
from Hilo,
we learn that another of
those terrible tragedies which have marked the past two or three years of
Hawaiian history, had taken place at Kapapala, in the
District of Kau, not far from the crater of Kilauea.
A native, with an ax, killed his wife, her child, and a man supposed to have
been his wife?s paramour.
The Government mail carrier, on his way from Kau to
Hilo, arrested the murderer and brought him to Sheriff CONEY, at Hilo - Polynesian.
THE HOMICIDE AT NAPA - The
following additional particulars concerning the killing of J.W. OSBORN are gathered from the Alta:
BRITTON got down from the
stage near OSBORN’s house, and on approaching the dwelling met one of OSBORN?s children, whom he
asked to go and tell her father that he wanted to see him. OSBORN was at home
and went out to see BRITTON, when they walked away from the house, talking. The
eldest daughter of OSBORN, who is about nine years of age, went in the house
and told her mother that BRITTON looked very fierce. A younger daughter, who
was near the house, saw BRITTON point the pistol towards her father, and also
ran into the house, saying the man was going to hurt her papa. At this moment Mrs.
OSBORN reached the door and heard three shots fired in rapid succession,
and running in the direction of the sound found her husband lying on the
ground. As she grasped him in her arms
he opened his eyes, recognized her, smiled faintly and fell back dead. The
alarm was instantly given and pursuit of the murderer instituted. BRITTON is
supposed to have shot OSBORN while the latter was standing in front of him,
with his arms thrown back and his thumbs in the armholes of his waistcoat,
which was a favorite position of ease with the deceased. The three balls
entered the breast within a few inches of each other, and could only take
effect that way by the victim not moving after the first shot was fired. The
murderer, in fleeing, loaded the empty barrels of his revolver, apparently to
resist in case he was overtaken. One BOGGS discovered him, and, leveling a
rifle, which had no charge in it, brought him to terms, disarming and making a
prisoner of him. He was taken to Napa
City and confined in jail.

Terrible Calamity - Steamer Accident and Sad Loss of
Life - Captain Seeley and a Number of Passengers Killed
SAN FRANCISCO, April 30th
The steamer Senator arrived to night from the southern
coast in charge of the first officer BUTTERS. Captain T.W. SEELEY was killed on
the 27th instant by the bursting of the boiler of the little steamer
Ida Hancock, on her trip down from New San Pedro to the anchorage of the
Senator with passengers and freight. The steamer was a small propeller, owned
by R. BANNING of San Pedro, and employed
as a tug and in freighting between San Pedro and the ship anchorage. The boiler
was new. There were some sixty passengers on board, and the loss of life is
fearful. The boat was torn to pieces, and the explosion was heard on board the
Senator. Boats were sent from the steamer, and the officers and soldiers of
Camp Drum hastened to render assistance. The following is the only list of
killed and wounded procurable; it is not complete: Killed - Captain SEELEY, Wm.
RITCHIE, W.T.B.
SANFORD, Fred. KERLIN, H.M. OLIVER, R.M. HALL, Dr.
H.R. MYLES, Thos.
WORKMAN, NYE, L. SLESSINGER, M. LEVI, Richard PRICE,
Joe, Chas. KINNEY,

Willie BANNING, Mrs. SANFORD, Mrs. D. HEREFORD, Mrs.
Sue WILSON, Chas. CUNNINGHAM
and J.L. TUCKER. Most of those reported dead were probably killed
instantly. RITCHIE, Express Messenger, lived for two hours. A small portion of
the Express matter was saved. There were some twenty-five killed in addition to
the names reported.
[SECOND DISPATCH]
The Collectorship - Relief
of Mrs. J.W. Osborn and Family - Passengers by
the Moses Taylor - A.A. Sargent
- Mexican News - Passengers by the Senator
SAN FRANCISCO, April 30th
It is said to be settled that LOW will succeed
RANKIN as Collector. LOW was not an applicant, and only accepts the office at
the urgent solicitation of Secretary CHASE. It is not known whether he will
assume office immediately or wait until the 1st of July.
The subscription to the fund for the relief of the
family of the late Captain OSBORN has reached the sum of $6,300, in addition to
which about $2,500 has been promised.
The testimony in the EOFF murder case closed this
evening.
The Moses Taylor to-day took about five hundred
passengers. A.A. SARGENT, who is unable
for the present to accept the invitation to address a public meeting in this
city, has published a letter in response.
The following dispatch was this day received by the
consignees:
NEW YORK, APRIL 29th
The Early Bird sailed from Calcutta March 7th.
Cargo consists of 200 tons yellow grained milled sugar, 150 tons table rice,
221,000 gunnies. No ship loading, nor is there a chance for any for some
months. A letter dated “Chilapa, Mexico, April 16th,” says: On the 5th
and 6th inst., the French, after severe fighting and suffering great
slaughter, retained a portion of the town. On the 7th, however, the
Mexicans repulsed them with still greater slaughter, driving them at the point
of the bayonet to GARITA of Mexico, from which
place they (the French), retired to Cholula, after suffering a most
terrible loss. They are now fortifying themselves.
The
passengers arrived to-night by the Senator are J.
HESS, J. CHEENY,
N.L. EVIL, STROBILl, G. GOLDWATER, S.H. KNOWLES, DE LA GUERRA,

DARING
ROBBERY - The Sonoma Democrat tells about two cousins, named respectively Levi
and Oliver LEWIS, aged nineteen and twenty-four years who have been arrested in
that county for stealing one hundred head of cattle. They were held over in the sum of $1000 each.
Friday, May 1, 1863
THE VALIANT FINNERTY - The San Francisco Bulletin of
April 29th has the following version of the assault of FINNERTY on
Senator POWERS, and its consequences. The affair has already been referred to
in the Union:
While the Chrysopolis was
still lying at her landing at Sacramento, FINNERTY, one of the Senate porters,
came on board just drunk enough, as out informant expresses it, to be abusive,
and stepping up to Senator POWERS of Solano began to talk in the most
outrageous style to him because he had voted with CHAMBERLAIN, Porter of Santa
Cruz, WALLIS and others against the resolution to raise $1 a day the pay of
attaches. At last FINNERTY pulled off his coat, threw down his hat, and evinced
his anxiety to get a fight out of the Senator - but as the Senator avoided that
he struck him. A tussel
followed, and FINNERTY was captured and taken off the boat. Just as she was starting off FINNERTY
appeared again on board, bare-headed and more furious than ever. Finally he
struck a blow at POWERS, but did not hit him. FINNERTY then clinched, POWERS
shook him off and struck him with his heavy cane. The cane did hit the deck,
but not FINNERTY, and was utterly smashed. Several men now rushed in to capture
the infuriated FINNERTY. Nap. BROUGHTON drew the sword of his cane and
tendered it to POWERS, but the Senator declined to take it. The drunken man was
carried to the guard, and might in the melee have fared worse, but that Captain
CHADWICK appeared and quelled the disturbance. That, however, did not happen
until in the squeeze FINNERTY fell and some one on
him. Seeing that by the fall FINNERTY was seriously hurt, he was taken below,
where it was found that he had suffered a compound fracture of one of his legs.
A Frenchman set the broken bone, and splinted it up. After FINNERTY had slept a
while, he awoke and expressed a desire to apologize to Senator POWERS. The
Senator went below, when FINNERTY told him that he
must apologize! “I can’t attend to the matter myself,” said he, “but I have a
brother at San Francisco who will fight you, if you don’t, any way you choose.”
Later in the evening he asked if he would be able to walk up. “No,” answered a
bystander, “you won’t walk again these three months.” “Oh, that’s too bad,”
groaned the injured man, “I wanted sure to be at the State Convention.”
INJURED - A man named BARTON was badly injured
lately by the caving of a large rock, while at work on his claim on Flume Bar,
near Jacksonville, Tuolumne county; his nose was broken, his face and head
badly cut.

PASSENGERS BY THE MOSES TAYLOR.
The
following additional passengers left in the Moses Taylor, April 30th, to
proceed East via Nicaragua:
Mrs. J.O.
LANG, ____ RICHARDSON, J. MEYERS, H. BOSSER, F. SHAW, J.C. LAWSON, H.D.
COGSWELL, Mrs. COGSWELL, E.W. LLOYD, H. SALTONIAN, W. ROSE, J. SOLOMON, Adolph

James DOYLE, Dr. J.C. SPEARE, Miss M.B. FISHER, Mrs. J.B. ROBBINS, and about
360 in steerage.
SENTENCE
DISAPPROVED - Twenty of the Anderson Cavalry were lately condemned to death for
mutiny by Court martial. General ROSECRANS disapproved of the sentence, and the
men were ordered to return to duty. Their pardon is conditional on their future
good behavior.
SYCAMORES
DYING - It is stated that many of the large sycamore trees on the banks of the
Yuba river and on the low lands are dying from the effects of overflow of the
river.
EMPHATIC -
General WRIGHT, in his order dismissing from service Captain C.W.C. ROWELL and
First Lieutenant A.C. HASKELL of the Fourth Infantry, California Volunteers,
says:
The good of
the service demands, and the Government requires, that
prompt and cheerful obedience shall be rendered by the inferior, and that all
orders shall be executed with alacrity. The disorderly and mutinous condition
of the battalion of the Fourth Infantry at Camp Drum, on the 2d of April, could
have been prevented by the officers present, had they rendered proper and
efficient aid to the commanding officer. Two of these officers have lost their
commissions, and the fate of the others who proved derelict to their duty at
that crisis is reserved for further consideration by the commanding General.
The Commander of the District of Southern California (Colonel BOWIE), when the
condition of affairs at Camp Drum was reported to him, should have promptly
restored Major HANCOCK to the command which had been forcibly wrested from him
by his subordinates, and arrested all officers and men engaged in that unlawful
proceeding. The authority of the rightful commander should have been sustained;
under no circumstance should a compromise have been made with mutineers.
AN INCIDENT
- The Mariposa Gazette says that there is now living in that county a Democrat
of the old school, who now belongs to the Union party and never uses the word
Democrat. One of his neighbors recently asked him how it was the so determined
a Democrat as he was and had been had ceased claiming to belong to that
party. The old man replied: “I was a Democrat
when Democrats were for their country and advocated Democratic principles; but
those who call themselves Democrats are the very men whom I have always opposed
- old Tories and Know Nothings; and even traitors, in order to conceal their
treason, claim to be Democrats. I can?t
go with traitors - I won’t unite with the enemies of my country, and so you see
I drop the name Democrat, and am only a Unionist.” There are many more of like
opinions.
FLOWERS OVER
THE MOUNTAINS - A man named CLEMENS has arrived in Virginia
City
from Sacramento with a wagon load of flowers. The
majority of them were in fine condition, the pots having been carefully packed
in damp straw. The load consisted of about two hundred plants, embracing a
great variety of roses, geraniums, verbenas, fuchsias, orange trees, oleanders - in fact almost every species of flower known to
house culture. The prices of the plants ranged from $3 to $10 a pot, the
geraniums and orange trees being the extremes, while the roses were all $5 a
pot, irrespective of quality. The plants sold quite rapidly. Mrs. CLEMENS took
over a load about two weeks since.
ROBBER - A
cabin of Anderson & Co., near the Buena Vista ranch, Nevada county, was entered lately and robbed of a $400 check and
several articles of clothing.
FATAL
ACCIDENT - A workman in the Ophir
mine, named Jim CALLAHAN, fell down
a shaft of
that claim lately, at Virginia City, a distance of sixty-four feet, and was
instantly killed.

Eoff Acquitted - Treasure Receipts - Funeral of Captain
Seeley – Further Particulars of the Explosion - Arrival
SAN
FRANCISCO, May 1st.
The topic of
conversation to-night is the acquittal of Joseph EOFF for the murder of
CHAPMAN. The jury retired soon after four this evening, and
were only absent a few moments whey they
returned with a verdict of not guilty.
It was proved that CHAPMAN fired the first shot, though the testimony
altogether seemed to show that EOFF incited the difficulty and intended to hurt
CHAPMAN. The verdict occasions much
surprise as the case was prosecuted with great vigor.
Receipts of
treasure from the interior since last steamer day amount to $1,700,000. Gold
bars are $20@330. The Gould and Curry Company sold to-day $75,000 at Ľ premium.
Legal tenders, 64@66.
Four hundred
passengers are booked for the Constitution to-morrow. James M. McDONALD
sues the Omnibus Railroad Company for $25,000 damages for breaking his leg.
The funeral
of Captain SEELEY to-day was very largely attended. The flags of the hipping
were at half mast. The telegraph wires to Los Angeles, which have been down for
a month, were put in working order this afternoon and the following dispatch
was received:
“Los
Angeles, May 1st - The latest particulars from the explosion of the Ada Hancock are as follows: The bodies found are those of
Thomas H. SEELEY, Captain of the steamer Senator; William RITCHIE, Express
Messenger of Wells, Fargo & Co.; Charles KING, of Fort Tejon;
a Mexican, name and whereabouts unknown; Hiram KIMBALL and ____ ATKINSON,
Mormon missionaries from Salt Lake; Joseph BRYANT, Captain of the steamer Ada Hancock; A.P. GARDNER, La Paz; SWEENY, LINSBY, a
teamster, man unknown; William S.B. SANFORD, of Los Angeles; T.E. KEELIN, of Tejon Reservation; Captain NYE, R. M. HALL, San Francisco,
H.M. OLIVER, of La Paz (the head, shoulders and chest only of Oliver were
found); C.P. HUBBARD, of La Paz; Thos. H. WOODMAN, chief clerk of Banning; Dr.
R.H. MYLES, Los Angeles; two colored men, R. PRICE and Wm. Jan. PRATT, of Colorado; Sydney JOHNSTON,
eldest son of General A. Sydney JOHNSTON, of Los Angeles. The following list
includes those who were known to be on the steamer and whose bodies have not
yet been recovered: Mr. LEVY, San Bernardino; L. SCHLOSSINGER, Los Angeles; John
RODGERS, deck hand. It is stated that some fifteen or twenty not known were
lost, whose bodies are not yet recovered. Several casualties are noted: A.
CHELLIS, of San Luis Obispo, suffered a fracture of the thigh. Wm. W. WARDELL,
of Santa Cruz, suffered a contusion. John GETTAMAR, of Siskiyou county, had a
broken arm. Charles CUNNINGHAM, from the Colorado mines, a contusion. Henry
BEER, Yreka, contusion. J. PHILLIPS, deck hand, fracture of the elbow. Wm. JACKSON, Colorado mines, scald and contusion. G.L.
TUCKER, of San Francisco, formerly of this place, fracture of both bones of
left leg. Mrs. BANNING, contusion of the head and probably some internal
injuries. Mrs. SANFORD, mother of Mrs. BANNING, had her right leg and left arm
fractured. Miss M. HEREFORD suffered a contusion of the head. Mr. BANNING, internally injured. Miss, WILSON, daughter of D.
WILSON, contusion. A.C. YEARY, fracture of the leg. WELSH, scalded slightly.
Mrs. L. COHN, two children and servant, of Los Angeles, were
on board the Hancock. Mrs. COHN escaped with a slight contusion. The servant
escaped uninjured, and was taken into a boat, having the child, an infant, in
her arms, which received only a very slight scratch upon the left side of the
head. Mrs. COHN showed herself a heroine, displaying great presence of mind;
she recovered her oldest child, about two years of age from the water among the
fragments of the wreck. For some time its life was considered hopeless, but it
was restored by the perseverance of the mother, and by frictions and bathings with brandy . The marks
left upon it have the appearance of a scald, otherwise
the child appears to be in perfect health. Two children of Mr. BANNING were
also on board, of whom one only received a slight scald. Both of these children
were saved from the wreck by Darkness, a colored servant girl of Mrs. BANNING,
who displayed undaunted courage and rendered great assistance to numbers of
others. During the whole excitement she remained perfectly calm, and was the
means of keeping several of the ladies;? heads above water for some time after the vessel had gone
down. Only three person besides the little child of
Mr. BANNING (viz:
the child of Mrs. COHN and the two servants as above states) escaped without
injury. William KING, a young man, and a fireman and a Mexican escaped
unscathed. The explosion was instantaneous. No vestige of the boiler or the
flues upon which it stood were left. Pieces of the
shattered boiler were found upon a small island a distance of three-quarters of
a mile from the wreck. Splinters from the vessel were thrown into Government
Corral, three-quarters of a mile from the scene of the disaster. BANNING himself was thrown a hundred feet. At
ten o?clock this morning
BANNING was in a critical state from injuries received internally, though Dr.
GRIFFIN has hopes of his recovery. The body of Captain SEELEY shielded BANNING
from instant death.”
Arrived -
British bark Panteloss, 181 days from Liverpool, to Depuy, Foulkes & Co.
COPPER IN
AMADOR - A correspondent at Ione Valley writes as follows:
The copper
excitement still continues in this vicinity. Many are meeting with very
flattering prospects. The Newton Company is taking out very rich ore and in
large quantities. A number of others have found good ore, but are not deep enough
yet to find it in large quantities. Claims are changing hands at $2 to $15 per
foot unprospected.
BRUTALITY -
On the night of the 15th of April some villain entered the inclosures
of William NIX, on Three Mile creek, Oregon, and singling out a fine American
horse, cut his throat so as to cause death, and then cut and hacked the animal
in the most shocking manner.

SHOOTING AFFAIR - In San Francisco lately a man
named John LAWLOR, who some time since had a difficulty with J.M. CANNON, which
led to a challenge to fight a duel being passed between them, and for which
they were arrested and afterwards discharged from the Police Court, went into
the bar-room of the Bank Exchange, where he found CANNON conversing with some
friends. LAWLOR, it is said, immediately drew a revolver and fired four shots
at CANNON, one of the balls entering the breast pocket of his coat and afterwards discovered buried in
the leaves of a memorandum book , where it had fortunately lodged. LAWLOR was
arrested, but was released from custody on giving bonds in the sum of $500 to
appear before the Police Court for examination. The charge of assault and
battery with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, made against him, was
continued in the Police Court until Monday, May 4th.
DROWNED - On Wednesday, April 29th, an empty
team , on its way to Red Bluff, attempted to cross Cottonwood creek, and when
in the swift water the king-bolt came out and the bed of the wagon was
capsized, precipitating three men who were in it into the water, one of whom by
the name of MULLARKY, was drowned.
KILLED BY INDIANS - Jonas L. BRAYTON and Isaac
WANDELL, of Mendocino county, were attacked and murdered by the Indians, on the
Pyatt river (Oregon), on the
night of March 3d. The murdered men, in company with N. JEWETT and John BURTON,
were on their way from the Boise mines in Auburn. At the time of the killing
the party were preparing to camp for the night, and had become separated in the
operation.
PETITION FOR PARDON - A petition to Governor
STANFORD for the pardon or commutation of the death sentence, in the case of
Jacob GREER, now under sentence of death in the Butte county jail, has been
circulated about Oroville for several days, but does not appear to be
extensively signed.

Shooting and
Lynch Law at Vallejo
VALLEJO, May
6th
Last night
about eight o’clock, as a young man named SHAFLEY, in company with a man named
PRESTON, was returning home, about a mile from town, a man (supposed to be
Manuel VERA) fired on them from the wheat field adjoining the road, wounding
SHAFLEY. VERA was promptly arrested, and to-day waived examination. He was
placed under $10,000 bonds. While the bond was being made out, this evening,
about sixty men, blacked and masked, armed with pistols and knives, broke into
WILSON’s store, where the prisoner was, picked up the Sheriff (who had just
arrived) and carried him out. They then shot the prisoner dead. The man PRESTON
shot VERA, severely wounding him, some months ago, and it?s thought he intended killing him instead of
SHAFLEY. SHAFLEY’s wounds are serious but not dangerous. Two balls have been
extracted, and he is doing well.

I.O. of G.T.
- At a regular meeting of Capitol Lodge, No. 51, I.O.G.T., held on Tuesday
evening, at Graham’s Hall, D.L. TOWNSEND, D.G.W.C.T., installed the following
officers for the ensuing term: Theodore REICHERT, W.C.T.; Miss Frank M.
STEVENS, W.V.T.; Samuel SIMES, W.S.;
Miss MITCHEL, W.T.; Albert GALLETIN, W.F.S.; D.L. TOWNSEND, W.M.; Miss Emma
FISKE, W.D.M.; Miss HOSS, W.I.G.; J. THOMPSON, W.O.G.; Mrs. D.B. STEWART,
W.R.H.S.; Miss Mary FISKE, W.L.H.S.; William C. BARRETT, W, Chaplain; F.E.
MITCHELL, P.W.C.T.
SOCIABILITY - Yesterday forenoon a fellow, who was
partially drunk, on J street, attempted to kiss a lady
who was walking on the sidewalk. She did not concur, but informed N. Greene
CURTIS of the fact, giving a description of the offender. On this description,
officer SHEEK arrested a man named CORRINGTON. The prisoner was taken from the
station house early last evening by the officer for the purpose of being
identified, but as he was not brought back again it is presumed that he was not
the right man and was discharged.
GRAND LARCENY - Yesterday morning J.H. WARWICK
missed his gold watch at his residence, on Third street.
Having cause to suspect a Chinaman who was employed in the house, he arrested
him and took him to the station house.
John denied all knowledge on the subject, and, of course, refused to
give any information. On returning home and instituting a thorough search,
WARWICK found the watch wrapped up and secreted under an iron pot in the
kitchen. The Chinaman will be examined to-day.
ARRESTS - John DOE was arrested yesterday by special
officer DAKE, for assault and battery; Jim Chinaman, by J.H. WARWICK, on a
charge of grand larceny in stealing a gold watch; Joseph CARRINGTON, by officer
SHEEK, for misdemeanor; and Julia DAVIS, by officer LESTER, for assault and
battery on Catherine CRONEN.
A COUNTER CARD - W. MANTES publishes another card in
connection with the BURKE and HOLL imbroglio, stating that he authorized the BURKE
statement of the affair.
BAILED OUT - William PIERCE, who has been confined
in the county jail several months for killing Frank WHITE at Daylor?s ranch, gave bail yesterday in the sum of $3,000,
and was released from custody.

GOLD IN MENDOCINO - The Mendocino Herald says a
party is engaged prospecting in the mountains between Clear Lake and Round
Valley, for what is said to be an exceedingly rich deposit of gold somewhere in
that region, discovered a number of years ago by some unfortunate wanderer over
the mountains, who, finding a rock that bore unmistakable evidence of gold,
pounded it up and extracted half a pound of gold. But he never could find the
place again; and many other ardent seekers after his lost lode have shared the
same ill luck from year to year.
MINING IN SOUTH SIERRA - The Sierra Democrat of May
9th says:
The Sacramento company
opened a new quartz ledge near Chips’ last week, which promises to be a big
thing. Gold in considerable quantity is plainly visible to the naked eye. The
French Ravine company are still pounding out their
regular eighteen pounds per day, with a fair prospect ahead of a good long run
at that rate. Shares are held at ten thousand dollars.
BUTTE - The Butte Record of May 9th says:
The copper epidemic still continues in this county.
A new district was formed last week on the north side of Feather river and east of the North Fork. Numerous companies are at
work sinking shafts, and a short time will determine the richness of our copper
mines. A specimen of ore from a ledge near Forbestown, was recently
assayed and found to contain eighteen per cent of copper. New discoveries in
this vicinity are reported almost daily.
We take the following interesting items from the
Oroville Union May 9th:
We learn from several citizens of Flea Valley that
the bones of a dead man were found near that place last week, and recognized
from papers and clothing to be the remains of J.D. HOGAN, who left Flea Valley
February 18, 1863, for Dogtown, but having never
reached his destination, is supposed to have perished in a snow storm the night
of his departure. Our correspondent at Inskip, whose letter arrived too late for us to give it
entire, under the date of May 8th, writes that the Oroville and
Honey Lake road, via Inskip, is fully open.
On Monday last, ZENONIA, who resides about five miles
from town on the Chico road, was kicked by a Spanish horse, breaking the right
cheek bone and forcing a fragment of it up in front of the eye.
Jacob STIMER, one of the proprietors of the brewery,
at Dogtown, was thrown from his wagon on Saturday
last, and sustained a slight fracture of the skull.
There was a grand gathering of loyal men at the
Court House on Thursday evening, for the purpose of forming a Union League.
Seneca EWER was chosen President, and Dr. James GREEN
Secretary.
A Union League was organized at Forbestown
on Saturday last - L.P. SMITH President and S.W. WHIPPLE Secretary.
MINING IN SHASTA - The Courier of May 9th
has the following:
The last week has developed more facts as to the
great richness of the Pittsburg mines than any time previously. A rich assay of
silver has been obtained from rock taken from the original Minnesota claim,
also the Baxter and Kellenger claims. The owners of
the original Kellenger and Baxter claims have placed
lock and key upon their tunnels to prevent the removal of valuable minerals
found in theses claims.
The mining claim of HOY & KENNEDY, located near
the Sacramento river, below Waugh?s
Ferry, has yielded for the past week from $900 to $1,700 a day for three hands.
This valuable claim is supposed to be a continuance of the Bunker Hill claim,
so long noted for its richness.
A HUSBAND ON THE RAMPAGE - The Forest Hill Courier
of May 9th has the following:
The usually quiet town of Forest Hill, and
neighborhood, was put into a flutter of excitement on Tuesday evening, about
ten o’clock, by the report that a jealous husband had attempted to assassinate
the destroyer of his peace! Edward FLETCHER and John E. CROPSEY have been part
owners of the India Rubber tunnel, at the “Gardens,” for a number of years
past. FLETCHER is a married man, and CROPSEY boarded in the family. About four
months ago, FLETCHER and his wife separated - each occupying separate
dwellings. Common report has it, that no small amount of clashing, crimination
and recrimination has passed between them - and that the peace and quiet of the
neighborhood has been frequently disturbed by the parties. About half past nine
o?clock, on Tuesday evening,
FLETCHER approached CROPSEY near his cabin, and, without speaking a word,
commenced firing a pistol. One ball struck CROPSEY about an inch above the left
temple, but glanced off; another ball struck the left cheek, passed through
along the jaw bone and lodged in the neck; another ball struck the left breast,
passing through and coming out the left shoulder blade. He is living and doing
well. FLETCHER was arrested, and after an examination before
Justice SCOTT was committed to jail to answer before the Grand Jury, the fourth
Monday of May. The defendant intends to prove, he says, that he was
justified. Both parties have been hard working, industrious miners.

CLUBBING A SECESSIONIST - A telegram from Jackson, Amador county, to
the San Francisco Call, and dated on the 12th, says:
“Yesterday, two
men went to the Mountain Springs House, between this place and Ione City. One
of them commenced hurrahing for Jeff DAVIS, when Mr. FARMER, proprietor of the
house, picked up a club and went after him. The man, drawing a knife, made
several attempts to cut FARMER. Both the men have been arrested.
Thursday, May 14, 1863
HOMICIDE IN PLACER - A man named LINDSAY killed a person
whose name we have
not heard, at Stewart?s Flat,
in Placer county, April 12th, the day of the election on the Pacific
Railroad question. It is stated, says the Bee, that LINDSAY was Judge of the
Election, and that the man with whom he had the difficulty came to the polls
with an Irishman, whose vote he wished to have recorded. LINDSAY challenged the
vote, and at this the other person got angry and commenced the assault. He got
LINDSAY’s head down under the table.
LINDSAY managed to strike him over the head with his pistol. His
opponent continued his attack, and then LINDSAY, managing to raise himself a little, fired his weapon, the ball passing through
the left breast of his adversary, killing him instantly. LINDSAY was at once
arrested, but it would seem that he was justified in what he did. We are told
that LINDSAY has relatives residing in this city.
NEW STAGE ROUTE OVER THE MOUNTAINS - MONAHAN &
WHIPPLE are about starting the stage line and saddle train from Sonora
(California) to Aurora. They will run their stages to the Long Barn or
Strawberry Valley, and then
carry passengers on horseback over the summit, where they will
take the stages again for Aurora. The whole distance will be about one hundred
and twenty miles, and only thirty miles will be ridden in the saddle.
NEARLY A FATAL ACCIDENT - A daughter of Mrs.
BURNETT, at Copperopolis, fell into a well thirty feet deep, April 11th,
and was only saved from drowning by the aid of Samuel PIKE, who descended into
the well on some hose and sustained the girl in the water (twelve feet deep),
until they were both drawn out by persons about. The child was twelve years of
age, and sustained no injury from accident.
FATAL ATTACK BY INDIANS - The Dalles
Journal of May 4th says: :”A company of prospectors, five in number,
who left Canon City a week ago yesterday, were attacked in camp the next
morning, within about fifteen miles of the south fork of John Day river, by a
party of Indians. They were all asleep when the attack was made. Three of them
succeeded in making their escape in different directions, in the dark, all more
or less wounded by shot and arrows. The Indians fired in among them as they
were sleeping in a tent, according to the statements of the three who escaped.
The other two are supposed to have been killed by the Indians. The names and
residences of the men who escaped were RUTHERFORD and MARCELLUS of California,
and Vincent RAND of Portland, Oregon. The men who are supposed to be killed are
Hiram TALCOTT of California, and William GALLAGHER of Salem, Oregon. A party of
some nineteen or twenty men at Canon City volunteered their services as soon as
the news of the affair reached there, and immediately started in pursuit of the
Indians. The body of F.
GALLAGHER, late of Portland, was found a short distance from Cherry Creek last
Wednesday. The body presented every appearance of a most atrocious murder
having been committed. He had been shot through the head with a pistol ball.
The body had been robbed of everything but a portion of his clothing. The
pockets of the pants were turned inside out. Some of the clothing had been
buried. The murder is believed to have been committed by one BERRYWAY, with whom GALLAGHER had been in company on his way from Canon
City to this place.
PASSENGERS FOR THE EAST - The
following named passengers sailed in the Orizaba, May 13th, for

DEATH OF THE MAYOR OF HOBOKEN - John R. JOHNSON,
Mayor of Hoboken, died at his residence in that city on the morning of April 18th.
STRIKE AT GOLD HILL (N.T.) - The Virginia Union of
May 12th says:
Gold Hill is determined not to be excelled by
Virginia in strikes at least. Yesterday morning, as some workmen in that place were
engaged in excavating in the rear of the Golden Eagle Hotel, they struck a well
defined quartz ledge. A.F. WOODSIDE, A.W. McINTYRE,
J.H. WOODSIDE, W.H. WHITE and H.McGINN, styling
themselves the Woodside Company, immediately located a claim of twelve hundred
feet. The ledge was christened the McIntyre Ledge. A comfortable number of
extensions have been located, both north and south.

TERRIBLE MURDER - The Butte Record of May 16th
has the following:
On Tuesday morning, about five miles above Dogtown, a man named Nick JOHNSON waylaid and killed his
wife (from whom he had separated some time since), about a quarter of a mile
from her residence. Her brother was driving cattle near the place and heard her
cry. When he came in sight, JOHNSON had hold of her and was striking her with a
butcher knife in the side. He attempted to stop him, but JOHNSON attacking him
he ran for help. On his return she was
dead - her head nearly severed from her body. The neighbors turned out in
search of the murderer, and about half an hour after the report of a gun was
heard. On repairing to the spot, JOHNSON was found dead, he having placed his
gun under his chin, the charge coming out at the top of his head.
The Appeal says:
The only cause which can be assigned for the deed is
that the woman had accused her husband of improper conduct with her little
daughter, a charge which those who knew the parties regarded as untrue.

SHASTA - Efforts
are making to organize a military company in this place, and seventy-two names

E. GARTER superintends the organization.
SANITARY - The
San Francisco Sanitary Committee received on Thursday, May 21st,
from various sources, $1,087, of which amount $876 was from Dutch Flat.
FIRE IN SIERRA -
The town of Wet Ravine, Sierra county, was almost
destroyed by fire last week. Loss, $75,000.
EXECUTION IN
BUTTE - The Oroville Union of May 23d has the annexed account of an execution
in that place:
Adie ECKRON,
convicted of the murder of Jergen JANSSEN, his mining
partner, at Morris Ravine, some eighteen months ago, was hung yesterday in this
town at twelve o’clock. The execution took place in a small inclosure
adjoining the Court House. The prisoner appeared devout and to fully realize
his awful position, but at no time was there the slightest emotion or tremor
perceptible. Rev. R. HOBART attended him in his last moments. He did not appear
to suffer much, and was probably dead within six minutes after he was swung
off, although the body was allowed to hang some ten or twelve minutes. He
protested his innocence to the last; hoped that he would be the last innocent
man to suffer, and that the real criminal would soon be discovered. ECKRON, we
should judge, was about forty years of age and a native of North Germany. He
was convicted almost exclusively on circumstantial evidence. Sheriff MIDDLETON
performed his disagreeable duties with promptness and propriety. Jacob GREER,
who was sentenced to be hung at the same time, has been respited
by the Governor for seven days.
THE
ALLMAN AND McKENZIE SHOOTING AFFAIR.
The examination
of John ALLMAN, charged with an assault with a deadly weapon, for shooting at
and wounding Charles McKENZIE with a pistol, at
Broadway wharf, on the night of the 11th instant, was concluded in
the Police Court yesterday afternoon. The testimony of McKenzie, who was unable
to appear in Court, was taken at his rooms, and was to the effect that Allman fired first, although he
admitted having shot at him on two previous occasions. The testimony of other
witnesses in reference to the shooting bout between the two parties on the
night in question contradicted that of McKenzie’s in several particulars, and
went to show that Allman acted in self defense. The
Police Judge took the case under advisement, and will probably render a
decision in a day or two. - San Francisco Journal, May 22d.

FIRE IN MARYSVILLE - The following particulars of a
late fire in Marysville are taken from the Express of May 28th:
Between four and five o’clock, yesterday morning, a
fire broke out in the stables in the rear of the Pacific House, running from A
street to Yuba alley, on the corner of Seventh street. The flames burst out in
some hay, about sixty tons of which was consumed in bales. The fire spread very
rapidly, reaching the main brick stable, in which were ten horses, five
belonging to WASHBURN, one horse and buggy owned by A.P. BARNES, and four
horses owned by the proprietors of the
stable, COOK & RUSSELL, all of which were destroyed. The poor animals were
all burnt to a crisp. The flames communicated to the Pacific House, a two-story
brick hotel, occupied by J.M. BELRUDE, destroying the entire contents. Nothing was saved,
the inmates having barely time to escape with their lives. BELRUDE was absent
at the time. The flames communicated to the brick store adjoining, occupied by
D.S. HYAMS, and the goods, consisting of
groceries, etc., were injured to the amount of some
$1,000, which is covered by insurance. The buildings were owned by HYAMS, and
the loss is estimated at $3,000, on which there was an insurance of $1,500. The
fire was the work of an incendiary, a deranged person.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 31st
The body found near Market street wharf is
identified as Wm. LAKE, officer of the ship King LEAR.
Judge HOFFMAN approves the first official survey of
the lake of Merced ranch in this county. It is to touch the Burri
Burri boundary.
A SPICY REPLY - About two months ago, as was stated
in the Union at that time, a large meeting was held in the Tabernacle, at Salt
Lake City, at which Brigham Young presided, the purpose of which was to force
the Governor and Associate Justices of Utah to leave the Territory. A Committee
of three was appointed to wait upon the above named officers and report the
action of the meeting. They first proceeded to the Executive mansion, where
Judge Thomas J. DRAKE resided, and informed him and Governor HARDING that “the
Mormons did not like them, and wished them to get away from the Territory as
soon as possible.” The Judge listened
patiently until the Committee concluded, and then getting between then and the
door, replied as follows:
The communication you have
made are of some importance, as they are intended to affect me. I desire to say
something before you go. It is no small thing to
request a citizen to leave a country. Are you aware of the magnitude of the
business you have undertaken? I deny that you have any cause for such conduct
toward me. I am an American citizen, and have a right to go to any part of the
Republic. I have a right to petition or ask the Government to amend the laws,
or to pass laws. You, TAYLOR and PRATT, are men of experience, and reputed to
be men of learning, and ought to know better than to insult a man by such
means. It is mean and contemptible. On you part,
TAYLOR, a foreigner, it is impudence unequaled. You, PRATT, a citizen, should
know better than to trample on the rights of a citizen by performing such a
dirty enterprise. Your resolutions are false, and the man who drafted them knew
them to be so. I understand that Brigham Young, in the meeting in the
Tabernacle, called me a fool, and a tool of the Governor. [Here Taylor admitted that Young did say so.]
Go back to Brigham Young, your master - that embodiment of sin, shame and
disgust - and tell him that I neither fear him, nor love him, nor hate him, but
that I utterly despise him. Tell him, whose tools and tricksters you are, that
I did not come here by his permission, and that I will not go away at his
desire, or by his direction. I have given no cause of offense to any one. I have not entered a Mormon’s house since I came
to Utah Territory. Your wives and daughters have not been disturbed by me, and
I have not even looked upon your concubines and lewd women. I am no skulk from
the punishment of crime. I tell you, that if you, or the man that you so
faithfully serve, attempt to interfere with my lawful business, you will meet
with trouble of a character you do not expect. A horse thief, or a murderer
has, when arrested, a right to speak in Court; and unless in such capacity, and
under such circumstances, never do you dare to speak to me again.
THE CASUALTY IN DOWNIEVILLE - The Sierra Democrat of
May 30th has the following particulars of a late sad accident in Downieville:
On Wednesday last while a portion of the citizens of
Downieville were engaged in firing a salute on
account of the supposed capture of Vicksburg, First Lieutenant M.M. KNOX and
Second Lieutenant William A. DONALDSON of Company K, Sixth Regiment California
Volunteers, were mangled in the most horrible manner by a premature discharge
of the cannon used on the occasion. The
facts, so far aw they can be learned, are as follows:
The cannon was old, had been for two years exposed to the weather, without any
proper care, had become very rusty, rough and powder-burned inside, had been
spiked, and in removing the spike the vent had been bruised, rendering it a
difficult undertaking to prevent air from passing through while loading.
Several rounds had been fired, when the vent became stopped - this occurred
several times, which proves that the cannon was foul.
Immediately before the last cartridge was put into the cannon the person
tending the vent cautioned Lieutenants KNOX and DONALDSON, telling them that
there was fire in the chamber, and not to load until they had cleaned out the
cannon; but his suggestions were unheeded by them, and they - both having hold
of the rammer and in the act of pushing home the cartridge - were blown to
pieces in the most shocking manner by a premature discharge. Lieutenant KNOX
lost both eyes, his face was burned to a crisp, the left hand torn entirely off
above the wrist, the right arm badly shattered, pieces of the rammer were
forced deeply into the lungs and other parts of the body, which was thrown over
a steep declivity and nearly into the river, some two hundred feet below. He
died about five hours after the accident. Lieutenant DONALDSON was injured in a
similar manner, his face being terribly burned, both eyes destroyed, both hands
blown off above the wrists, and his left side severely injured. He died at four o’clock the following
morning. Both were highly esteemed in our community and all are sorrowing at
their untimely and shocking death. The
funeral took place yesterday, was attended by the military and fire companies,
and a numerous concourse of civilians. Military rites
were performed over their grave by the National Guard, and they now, side by
side, sleep their last sleep. S.W. FORBES was seriously burned in the face by
the powder escaping from the vent. His thumb was badly sprained, and his eyes
seriously, though not permanently injured. We have just learned that RITCHIE,
who has served as gunner on a man-of-war, has examined the cannon and found in
the chamber a large mass of burnt and charred rags, which must have been on
fire at the time of the accident.
HOW IS IT? What do such men as Tod
ROBINSON, LENT, McCORKLE, BIGLER and others of that
political ilk expect to accomplish even if they succeed - which Heaven forbid -
in gaining control of the State? We know - everybody knows. First, they will
“oppose the Government.” Second, they will “oppose the Government.” Third and
last time, they will “oppose the Government.” Al their howlings
and resolutions about the Constitution and rights of citizens are buncombe, and their real object is to assist rebellion and
“oppose the Government.” - Sierra democrat.

FATAL AFFRAY - An altercation took place at Eagle Creek, in Shasta county,
May 24th, in which Peter LOPEZ shot and fatally wounded Matthew POINTON.
The shot took effect in the abdomen and passed through the bladder, producing
death on the following day. Lopez was arrested and had an examination before
Justice HART, at Horsetown, on the 25th,
when he was committed to the county jail, to await the action of the next Grand
Jury.
COPPER IN SHASTA
- Lately one M.A. CHARSON discovered a rich copper claim on the east fork of
Clear creek, about eighteen miles from Shasta. An assay was made which showed
the rock to be rich.
LEG AMPUTATED - A young man named Lorenzo ACKLEY, at Lowery’s ranch, on
Butte creek, near Chico, had his leg so badly injured by the accidental
discharge of a shotgun last week as to render amputation necessary.
BOUND EAST - Dr.
W.P. TILDEN, Resident Physician of the State Insane Asylum, has taken his
departure for the Atlantic States by the Overland route. He will visit many of
the Eastern Asylums for the insane.
UNION MEETING IN
SAN JOAQUIN - On Saturday evening, May 30th, there was an
enthusiastic meeting at Woodbridge, on the Mokelumne.
It was addressed by G.W. TYLER and H.B. UNDERHILL.
FINE CHERRIES -
We acknowledge the receipt of some excellent cherries of large size and the Ox
Heart variety, from the garden of Mrs. E.L. NICHOLS, Horseshoe Bar, Placer county.
COMMUTED - Governor
STANFORD has commuted the sentence of Jacob GREER, in Butte county,
from the death penalty to imprisonment in the State Prison for
Life.
INDIAN
DEPREDATIONS IN TRINITY - John McCAMMON, residing on
Trinity river, gives, under date of May 26th, to the Trinity
Journal, the following account of Indian depredations by which he suffered:
On Thursday
evening, May 14th, between seven and eight o’clock, I was attacked
by some forty Indians. I was standing on the front “stoop”, when two rifle
balls passed close to my head. Immediately after came a shower of balls,
completely riddling the side of the house. I got my arms as soon as possible,
gave my shot gun to John MYERS, who was in company with me, and consulted with
him about holding the house until dark, which we concluded to do, but we soon
changed our minds, as the Indians were advancing. I saw at once that we must
run, which we did. We started down the river to give the alarm. I took an old
Indian trail and got lost, and could not return until day-break. I then
returned and found my house burned to the ground. During the night I kept close
to the river, endeavoring to get to my ferry boat to cross and give the alarm.
I came up to Big Flat the following day, where I got twelve men, and three from
North Fork. We returned the next day to my place and found everything burned, outhouses and all. My impression is that no flour or
rice was burned. Everything was packed off. I am quite certain they have a pack
train. After spending an hour on Cedar Flat we went on to BRAINARD’s and found
his house burned. From thence we went to WINSLETT’s and found his place burned.
We then concluded to go on some three miles further, to TINSLEY’s, but we had
not gone far before we fell in with his pack train. His house was safe, but the
family, in company with Winslett and others, had gone
to New River, and from thence to Big Flat. We accompanied Tinsley’s train to
Manzanita Flat. Lower Trinity is now deserted entirely. Had we a few more men
and arms, I have no doubt we could have got back a good portion of the goods
and a number of redskins in the bargain.
APPOINTMENT -
Governor Stanford has appointed Miles N. MITCHELL, Commissioner of Deeds for
Virginia City, Nevada Territory.
A MURDEROUS
ASSAULT - The Stockton Independent of June 1st has the following:
At about
half-past nine o’clock on Friday evening last, two men, one of whom was masked,
knocked at the door of the store of Dr. LOCKE at Lockeford,
on the Mokelumne, and demanded admission, as they
stated, for the purpose of purchasing a pair of boots. The father of Dr. Locke,
who is accustomed to sleep in the store, answered the call, and as he opened
the door he was struck upon the head with a pistol which knocked him senseless.
He recovered, however, almost instantly, and upon gaining his footing the
companion of the assassin who had struck him the blow with the pistol, as if
determined to finish the work of death in which the other had failed, drew a
knife and stabbed Locke three time, once in the breast and twice in the back,
also cutting his hand severely in the struggle which ensued for the possession
of the weapon. Locke is a man well advanced in years, and at the time of the
assault upon him was alone in the store. The robbers suspecting they were in
danger of arousing the neighbors, fled before their contemplated work of murder
and robbery had been consummated, one of them leaving his hat behind. Who they
were, there is no means of knowing. Locke is in a critical condition,
and being aged and somewhat infirm his wounds have an effect upon him which it
is feared may prove fatal.
SEVERELY INJURED
- William BORROUGHS, of Deadwood, Siskiyou county, met with a very severe, and
perhaps fatal accident, lately, by being thrown our of a carriage.

MURDERED BY A SECESSIONIST - A
correspondent of the Union, writing from Fort Yuma, May 23d, gives the
following particulars of a murderous outrage:
On the return of a detachment which was sent from
this place to Fort Mohave in charge of the supplies for the permanent garrison at
the latter place, and stopping one night in the vicinity of La Paz - A small
town located near the newly discovered placer mines in New Mexico, about one
hundred and twenty miles from Fort Yuma - some of the soldiers, in company with
the steamboat hands, went to the town for the purpose of purchasing some
tobacco. While there and when they were gathering together for the purpose of
returning to the steamer, at about nine o’clock P.M., they were attacked by a
man who was confined with Showalter and others at this place, as political
prisoners, and released near a year ago. Two of the men were fatally injured, the other had his left leg broken above the knee.
They were all men of sober habits, attentive to their duties, and of the better
class of soldiers. The shooting was done by one of Colt’s navy-sized revolvers,
and by one man, who fired four shots at them as they stood in the street,
accompanying the shots with the expression “Git, you
sons of b___s, git.” The
opinion of those who witnessed the occurrence unite in
pronouncing it one of the most cold-blooded and cowardly murders ever
perpetrated. There was no quarrel, no difficulty, nor
were the men apprehending any. None of them were armed, and most of them were
in their shirt sleeves without any coat of any kind on. They were wantonly shot
down like dogs by a man wearing the garb of humanity, for no other reason than
volunteering in defense of free Government and the rights of man. The murderer
is quite a young man, not over twenty-two or twenty-three years of age, about
six feet high, light complexion, light hair, wears a light mustache, no beard,
is slimly built, and answers to the name of “Frog,” but has quite a number of
aliases. He made his escape to the mountains, and is supposed to have gone toward
Tucson for the purpose of joining a party on their way to rebeldom
by that route. The men killed were, C.L.
WENTWORTH of Forest Hill, Placer county, and Ferdinand BEHN of Trinity. The one
who had his leg broken was from San Francisco - Thomas GAINER.
PASSENGERS FOR THE EAST - The
following named persons have taken passage for the East in the steamer St.

As the Pacific road extends eastward, the Sacramento
Valley Railroad declines in regular ration as a formidable opposition, and when
the Pacific is completed over the mountains, the Sacramento Valley road becomes
almost as dead property. It will have run its last race, and J. Mora MOSS and
his French partners will find that their goose, which has been laying golden
eggs for five or six years, has been killed by the great Pacific Railroad.

BRUTAL MURDER - On Monday morning, June 8th,
about four miles from Brownsville, on the south fork of the Cosumnes
river, William ECKOHON, a Russian, shot John BARBER, a native of Switzerland,
through the head, killing him instantly.
The murdered man was in his bed asleep at the time.
His head was fearfully shattered, and his brains
scattered over his bed, presenting a shocking spectacle. He was a night watch
on the claim of ECKOHON and others, according to the Democrat, and ECKOHON says
he (ECKOHON)detected an Indian woman taking gold from
the sluice of the company, and ordered BARBER to drive her away. BARBER
refused, and a quarrel ensued. They retired to their respective cabins, not far
apart, and soon after ECKOHON murdered BARBER. The murderer was arrested by
parties living near, taken to Indian Diggings, examined, and committed for
trial.

occurred at St. Louis, Sierra county, on Monday evening, June 8th,
between two miners, named Michael LAMB and George GREGORY, which resulted in
the death of the latter. The circumstances, as near as we can learn them, says
the Laporte Messenger, are as follows:
LAMB claimed certain mining ground which GREGORY had
sold to Chinamen. A dispute arose in consequence, when GREGORY armed himself,
and swore he would kill LAMB as soon as he could find him; but learning his

occurred. The Indian who killed McFELAND escaped.

years of age, named Mary GALEN, died in San Francisco, June 13th,

Lake Tahoe - The Washoe Times has the following:
The journals of California - especially those of the
Union stripe - have determined that the fine sheet of water through which the
dividing line between California and Washoe runs, shall resume its aboriginal
name of ?Tahoe? and shall no longer be known as Lake Bigler. This is right. “Tahoe” is a very pretty Indian
name, signifying “Clear Water,” while “Bigler” is the
(illeg) of a California politician.
The Times adds an expression which compliments the ex-Governor’s ambition at the expense of
his intellectual qualities.
Accident in San Joaquin - A man named Patrick
DONEGAN was thrown from a buggy, lately, near Stockton, and it is supposed
received fatal injuries.
An Educated Pah Utah -
When J.T. LOCKHART, Indian Agent for this Territory, returned from the East, a
short time since, he brought with him a Pah Utah boy
about seventeen years of age, named Richard WASHINGTON, who has been attending
college at Lancaster, Pennsylvania, for the past three years. He is said to
have made very rapid progress during his stay at school, and he now has a very
good education and
is a perfect gentleman in his manners. He was taken to this school in 1859, by
Indian Agent DODGE. This case affords a very gratifying and encouraging evidence
of the progress that could be made in civilizing and educating our barbarous
and ignorant neighbors, if the proper exertions were made. Richard will be
employed for the present as an interpreter, but when the necessary arrangements
are made he will be engaged as a teacher also, on one of the Reservations. -
Virginia Union.
We recollect seeing this boy in Sacramento, some
three years ago, in company with Indian Agent DODGE, and noticed much manliness
in his deportment.
Caldonia Copper Mine - This mine in Calaveras county is
situated in the Washewkeen district, near Salt Spring
valley. A shaft has been sunk on the lode to the depth
of ninety-five feet, where the vein is found to be twenty-eight feet in width.
El Dorado - The delegates from this county to the
Union State Convention are
O. HARVEY,
W.H. COOPER, J.J. GREEN, A.V.V. POST, Robert BELL, George McDONALD,
A.H. SAXTON, J.M. ARNOLD, A.W. PARKER, I.E. TERRY, J.J. McHATTON,
Robert C. STEERE, Thomas McMANUS and A.M. TAYLOR.
Lost An Eye - In a difficulty
about fences, at Pajaro, Monterey county, June 12th,
one Richard CAMDEN was shot in the eye by John HERNANDEZ. CAMDEN lost his
sight.
Personal - John BELL and S. MASSET, of California,
were registered at New York hotels on the 22d of May. J.J. FELT, Mrs. MEED and
Miss KIMBALL, of California, were registered at New
York hotels on the 23d of May.
Who Told You? - The lower country papers have given
general circulation to the statement that Trinity county
sends three Stanford and one Low delegate to the State Convention. We are
puzzled to know how they gained the information. If Sargent
is a candidate for the Governor a majority of the Trinity delegation will favor
his nomination. Between Low and Stanford, the former will get a majority vote. Trinity Journal.
Sad Accident - A teamster named MOORE was thrown out
of a wagon near Laporte, Sierra county,
June 13th, and fatally injured.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 15th.
An Italian courtesan, known as Julia, was found
murdered this morning in her own house, No. 9 Pike street. The weapon employed
was a chisel. The ceiling and wall of the rooms and bed clothing are splashed
with blood of the deceased. The body was almost naked. The skull was beaten in,
and the carotid artery severed in three pieces. There are nineteen stab wounds
from the chisel in the neck and head and two in the hands. The struggle must
have been terrific, as evidenced by the broken furniture and torn bed clothing. Deceased was possessed of some real estate
property, a considerable sum of money and $1,000 worth of diamonds. The murder
could not have been for the purpose of robbery, as the valuables were found
undisturbed. The information was given by a young man named PINKHAM who slept
in a room in the basement, occupied by his father. A carpenter also has a shop
in the basement. The father was absent and had requested the young man to sleep
there. He states that he was awakened this morning by a noise overhead; heard a
man come down stairs in the shop; while he was dressing the man went up stairs
again and soon went away. PINKHAM followed into the street, but did not see the
man, having mistaken the direction taken by the
latter. PINKHAM is under arrest and the detective police are making
investigations. The woman was aged about forty years. Letters in her possession
are addressed to Madame Maria Louise FRESHI.
Henry PRINCE, who was waylaid and beaten by a man
named James WILSON on the night of the last municipal election in this city,
died last night in the Hospital. WILSON has been arrested on a charge of
manslaughter. John DORSEY is under
arrest for insanity.
Arrived - Ship Mary L. Sutton, 119 days

Treasure
Receipts - Arrival of a British Propeller - Treasury Nominations - Land Case -
Military - Arrest for Burglary and Larceny - Arrival
SAN FRANCISCO, June 22d
The receipts of treasure
from the interior since last steamer at $1,800,000. Deposits in the Mint
for coinage during ten days past reach $900,000. The supply of bullion is
short. Sales reported at $40 for gold; siler is 1/2
premium to 2 1/4 discount. Legal tenders are $5-66. Mining stocks have revived
perceptibly.
The British iron propeller Fusi Yarma arrived to-day, 134
days from England, via Caliso 25 days. After a trip to Victoria she will take her
place in the steamship line to China. This steamer came through the Straits,
and cannot have been the supposed piratical steamer seen off cape
Horn by the ship George Green.
Mr. CHEESMAN says that according to the
regulations of the United States Treasury Department, all warrants or drafts
must be presented within six months of the date of issuing, else they will be
returned to the Treasury for re-issue.
Judge HOFFMAN rejects the claims of Justo
LAROS to Rancho Campo de Los Franches, in San Joaquin
county.
In the case of Caroline ORTELLO against Giovanne B. ORTELLO, divorce was refused. Robert W. MACKEY was

grand larceny. He
is reputed to be possessed of property valued at $30,000, left to him by his
father, who deceased recently.
Arrived - Bark Thomas
Fletcher, 203 days from New York, to Forbes.
A BRAVE
WOMAN - Under this title we published, June 3d, a paragraph from the San
Francisco Alta, stating that one Mrs. GARISH, about the 15th of May,
acted the part of
a heroine near Canon station, on the Overland route, when the stage was
attacked by Indians and the driver killed:
Instantaneously with the shooting of the
driver, Mrs. GARISH leaped out of the stage, leaving her child within. At the
same moment four or five shots more were fired by the Indians, one of which
struck a horse in the head and he fell. She instantly cut him loose, mounted
the box, and seizing the reins, applied the whip vigorously. The driver, on
being shot, fell back into the boot behind the seat. The three horses were put
to the top of their speed, and continued running for about two miles, when
luckily they encountered another stage from the opposite direction. In this
were a number of soldiers, who instantly came to the aid of the heroine, when
she with her child were released from their perilous
position.
We have received a communication from John C.
ALLEN, of Company C, Third Infantry, dated at Eight Miles station, on the
Overland route, who says
there is not one
word of truth to the above statement of the Alta. Our correspondent says:
At the time that the coach was attacked there
were four soldiers in the coach and one Major EGAN, of Mormondom,
who was sitting on the box with the
driver. The stage
was going east at the time. There were no females in or near the coach at the
time, unless they were dressed in men?s
clothes. When the driver was shot, EAGAN took the lines and whipped the horses
into a run and would not give the soldiers a chance to have a show at the
Indians until he had gone far enough to give the Indians a chance to get out of
the way.
The lady who
is alluded to came through twenty-four hours after that, and there was nothing
occurred worthy of note on that day. There was no time,
however, but
what there were at least two soldiers to keep her company for at least one
hundred miles east, to as far west as where the accident happened.
J.C. ALLEN has been on the Overland route in
the locality referred to over since the 24th of March, and is therefore duly
advised in the matter of which he writes.
TROUBLE WITH
HORSE THIEVES - We learn from S.P. STORMS that in Tehama county, on Tuesday,
June 16th, some Spaniards stole sixteen head of horses belonging to N. MERRILL
and the LACOCK Brothers. The owners, with Hiram HENLEY, raised a company of men
and started over the Coast Range – missed the thieves, but on their return met
the Spaniards, about three miles from Ell river, with the horses. John LACOCK
being acquainted with one of the
Spaniards, rode up to
him and commenced a conversation. The other Spaniards attempted to go on but
were ordered to stop; and, as they paid no attention
to the order,
they were fired upon. Hearing the firing, the one talking with LACOCK drew his
revolver and shot him dead. The horses were recovered, but
the thieves
escaped. The horse and saddle of the Spaniard who shot LACOCK was found next
morning, and it is supposed the rider was killed in the
melee.
ATTACKED BY
INDIANS - The Visalia Delta of June 18th says:
While five teamsters, with freight from Los
Angeles, were passing through the Kelsey canon on Thursday last, there were
attacked by a band of Indians,
about forty in
number, who were lying in ambush. They fired from their hiding places with
rifles, killed on named Martin HART, who was hit fairly in the head, whole Oliver
BURKE was shot in the arm. BURKE fired twice at the Indians, killing one.
DAWSON then took him in his arms and was carrying him off, when he was again
shot in the side and requested DAWSON to lay him down, as he was dying when he
again fired at the Indians, and died while
preparing for the
fourth fire - grit to the last. DAWSON, HERTZ and TWITTY escaped. The Indians,
after overhauling everything, dressing themselves
finely in store
clothes and securing two cases of pistols, left. They were (rest of article is
cut off).
SAN
FRANCISCO - A dispatch to the Bee yesterday says:
James PAGE, son of the proprietor of a chop
house on Montgomery street, fell from a building last night. His recovery is

COLORED
COTTON - NEW VARIETIES - The United States Consul at Panama has lately addressed
to the State Department a communication giving some facts which are believed to
be new. The letter is as follows:
My Dear Sir: I send you some cotton grown in
this city from the seed received from you. I also send you two specimens of cottom from Sierra Pino.
The white
cotton was taken from a tree seven inches in diameter, the
top branches of which are about fifteen feet from the ground and spread
about
twenty feet each
way. The colored cotton was taken from a similar tree. Cotton in that part of Pino
is of five or six different colors. The trees
are so full of
cotton bolls that you can scarcely see the leaf. They seldom have had rain here
for the last sixteen years. Pino is situated forty
miles
east of Paits. Soil sandy, but very productive.
Where there is water the soil is best. The trees from which this cotton was
taken were planted, but
never cultivated.
Some English have gone to work thirty miles from Patia,
in a southeast direction, near the coast, and we may reasonably expect to hear
of complete success in the culture of this important staple.
I am, very truly, your friend.

SUICIDE
- James T. GARDINER, Deputy Sheriff of Monterey, shot himself through the head
on Tuesday, June 23d. No hope is entertained of his
recovery, as the ball
lodged somewhere in the brain. Cause- insanity.

Rumors have been current all day, and
credited, that Major General B.F. BUTLER has been appointed to the command of
the Pacific Department to

Wright, and that WRIGHT is to take the field. In this connection I learn that a
party in this city telegraphed to his agent in New
York
to ascertain whether certain goods had been shipped on the steamer which leaves
New York for Aspinwall to-morrow. The reply
was that Wells,
Fargo &
Co. and BUTLER had entirely monopolized the capacity of the steamer. This is presumed to mean that the Express
Company and BUTLER had filled the steamer with freight. [The dispatch probably
should have read butter - Eds. UNION] This dispatch is probably the foundation
of the rumor about BUTLER's appointment.
Judge HOFFMAN to-day approved the survey of
the claim of heirs of Armijo. Receipts
of treasure since last steamer amount to $2,200,000. Gold bars are quoted at

ACCIDENTS IN
SONOMA COUNTY - George ADDISON of Two Rock Valley, Sonoma county, had his leg
broken above the knee lately. His team started to run, when he caught them by
the bridle-reins, and was dragged some distance, but loosing
his hold he fell and the wheels passed over his legs, badly fracturing the bone
of one.
On the afternoon of the 4th of July, Frank
SPAULDING, of Two Rock Valley, while standing on the awning in front of McCUNE's building, in company with his family and others,
accidentally stepped backward and fell to the ground, a distance of fifteen
feet, by which accident both bones of the left leg were broken near the ankle
joint.
EXECUTION IN
SANTA CLARA - A dispatch dated at Santa Clara, July
10th, says:
SMITH, the murderer of VANCLEAVE, was
executed to-day. At nine o’clock he was taken from the cell, shaved, dressed,
and prepared for execution. He was cool and self-possessed. A clergyman came
in, and SMITH said he was a damned Secessionist, and would have nothing to do
with him. Another Union minister came and talked to him without effect. He
smoked a cigar, and continued to do so until requested to throw it away by the
Sheriff. He walked steady and firm to the scaffold, and requested the Sheriff
to give him a chew of tobacco, which was complied with. He stood like a statue
while his death warrant was read, he did not say anything, and at the close of
the prayer by the minister, as he said amen the trap fell, and with one or two
convulsions, at ten minutes to eleven A.M. he was no more.
HEAVY WORK -
John B. BLOOM recently threshed out for W.E. BRYAN, on the Placerville road,
fifteen miles from the city, 17,000 bushels of grain in thirteen days. Of this
quantity 3,000 bushels were wheat and the balance barley.
RECOVERING -
A. WELLER, of Milpitas, Santa Clara county, who was
seriously injured by being thrown from his horse, about two weeks ago, is
recovering.
He received
a terrible fall, injuring his brain and depriving him of consciousness.
IMMENSE
WESTWARD EMIGRATION - A letter from Omaha City,
Nebraska, to the Milwaukee News says:
There are nine hundred wagons going through

company with them. The roads are covered with wagons most of the time - some
going to Pike?s Peak, and
others to Washington Territory, California, and Oregon. Most of the teams now
are ox teams. A horse train, consisting of about twelve hundred wagons, is
about three hundred miles ahead.

HABEAS
CORPUS CASE IN SAN FRANCISCO - The Bulletin of July 15th has the following
record of a late case in its city:
Yesterday Conrad LUBBERSMEIER filed a
petition in the County Court for a writ of habeas corpus, that the bodies of
James LUBBERSMEIER and Johanna
LUBBERSMEIER
might be brought before the Court, and their care and custody adjudged to him.
The petitioner alleges as follows: That he is the husband of a woman named
Mercedes LUBBERSMIER, and the father of the two children whose custody he asks
for. That his wife is now living in adultery with a man named Peter STERLING,
and that the girl Johanna is hired out by them as an actress, to play at low
and disreputable places of amusement - the Bella Union Melodeon - at an age
when she should be at school; and that his wife and Sterling support themselves
by the wages of the children. That Johanna is a girl about nine years old, and
James a boy about six years and six months old. That his wife has assumed and
goes by the name of Mercedes Scott, and that when he lately called at the house
where she and STERLING live, for the purpose of obtaining possession of the
children, if possible, he was violently driven away by STERLING, who threatened
to shoot him if he did not leave. That the children are illegally restrained of
their liberty, he being their natural guardian, for all of which reasons he
prayed that they be delivered over to his custody.
The children were brought into Court this
morning, and a hearing had before Judge BLAKE. The girl Johanna is a bright,
beautiful child, who has lately been dancing at the American Theater as La
Petit Sterling. The mother is quite a respectable looking woman, but the same
cannot be said of LUBBERSMEIER as a man, his appearance being far from
prepossessing. The return made by the woman to the writ of habeas corpus is
singularly at variance with the petition offered by the man, and reveals a
rather singular
page in life.
She denies, in the first place, that she has ever imprisoned or unlawfully
detained James LUBBERSMEIER or Johanna LUBBERSMEIER, either or both; and in the
second, avers that she does not know any persons of those names. She avers that
she knows Johanna Scott and James N. MOORE, and that they have been rightfully
under her control since their birth. Subsequently she goes on to say that she
is a Chilean by birth, and the mother of the two children, who were born to her
out of wedlock. That Johanna was born in Sonora, California, October 12, 1853,
and baptized at Sonora on the 19th of October the same year, and that her name
is there registered in the Catholic
church as Johanna,
the child of Mercedes SCOTT. That James was born in San Francisco, June 24,
1855, and baptized here on the 30th of the same month, and his name registered in the Catholic
church here as Jacobum Washington MOORE, Alium Jacobi MOORE at Mercedes Scott Moore; and that he is
now a few weeks over eight years old. That the petitioner, Conrad LUBBERSMEIER,
is neither the father nor the putative father of either of the children, nor
has he by law, nor custom, nor kindness towards them, any right to their
custody. She avers, furthermore, that she became acquainted with the petitioner
in this city in 1858, and the he married her with a full knowledge of all the
facts relative to the children and her past history, the youngest child then
being over three years old. That after the marriage she
accompanied him to Los Angeles, where he proved a debased and brutal husband to
her. Almost continually drunken, beating her frequently and threatening
to kill the children, and that finally he threatened
to kill her
if she would
not let herself out to prostitution, that he might reap the wages of her
iniquity. That on one occasion he peremptorily ordered her to commit
prostitution with a companion of his named MULALLY, and upon her refusal to
comply he beat her unmercifully and kicked here
several times in the abdomen with such violence that she was crippled for life,
and has suffered form the injuries ever since. For
these reasons she left him, taking the children with her, and came to San
Francisco, where she has since
supported herself and
children either at housekeeping or dressmaking for her own countrywomen. She
furthermore avers that her children are kept cleanly and are well educated in
the rudiments of the English language and the doctrines and duties of the
Church; that in morals they will compare favorably with any children of their
age in San Francisco; that the girl Johanna has never been engaged either at
the Bella Union or Chrystal melodeons, or any other low places of resort; that
she once played or danced
at the
American Theater, but that for more than a year past she has been in constant
attendance at the Sisters? School in Market street.
SANTA CLARA
- A dispatch dated at this place, July 14th, has the
following:
Osceola HOYT, formerly employed at West’s
warehouse, in Alviso, was found dead in a stable in
San Jose. J. ALLEN, M.D., County Coroner, has furnished the following: The
deceased came to his death from disease of the brain; he was twenty-four years
old, and was a native of Newburyport, Massachusetts. The body was in a decomposed condition,
having been dead since July 1st, and was only recognized by the clothes.
On Sunday we had a shower of rain and
lightning - something quite unusual in this valley in July. The days have been
extremely hot.

REJOICING IN
MARYSVILLE - The loyal citizens of Marysville had an enthusiastic demonstration
on the night of July 18th, in honor of our late victories. A procession was

on the route of the procession. Speeches were made by Judge Jesse O. GOODWIN,
Judge FILKINS, C.S. HASWELL, C.E. DeLONG, S.B.
MULFORD, F.J. McCANN, I.S. BELCKER and others. The
speakers all spoke from full hearts with reference to the great success of our
arms, says the Appeal, and expressed the utmost confidence in the ultimate
restoration of the Union upon a nobler basis than ever.

(Sarfield Guard), Second (Irish) Regiment, California
Militia, to rank from May 16, 1863; Lawrence J. RYAN, Captain, vice McDONALD; Michael EGAN, First Lieutenant, vice McGEE; Michael CARROLL, Senior Second Lieutenant, vice

Stephen C. FOSTER's popular song - "When the Cruel War is Over;" entitled, "Yes! I Would the War Were Over," words by Alice HAWTHORNE, music by George

Counterfeiting
Greenbacks - Divorce - Conviction for Carrying Deadly Weapons - Arrival from
the South.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 21st.
Counterfeit or altered legal tender notes
have made their appearance. A person attempted to pass one on A.J. DOWNER &
Co., brokers - a fifty dollar greenback altered from a two. The execution is
ingenious. The small two’s were obliterated, seemingly, with green paint, in
the margin, body and back of the bill, and the large letters painted over with
the word fifty. The cheat is readily detected on comparison with a genuine
note.
A decree of divorce was granted to-day in the
case of Henry H. MAHAN against Maria.
Henry HUINBACK was convicted to-day of carrying
deadly weapons; the first case.
Steamer Senator, from Los Angeles, brings

YREKA, July 21st
Tom KING, confined in jail here for murder of
DUFFY, was discovered this morning to have his chains nearly cut off. When
discovered he told the jailor if he had one day more he would have bid him good
bye. KING is said to be the same man who let out some fifteen or twenty
prisoners from Auburn jail, Placer county, a year or so ago. He is evidently an
old hand.
TRIAL JURORS
- A special venire of twenty-four jurors was yesterday drawn in the Court of
Sessions, by order of the Court made on Monday, to serve during the present
term. In the presence of two witnesses the following names were drawn from the
jury box by Deputy Clerk BARRETT and Sheriff BUGBEY: J.W. AVERY, city, lumber
merchant; J.C. BABCOCK, San Joaquin township, farmer; W.H. BRAINARD, city,
farmer; C. CLINCH, Folsom, blacksmith; T.L. ACOCK, Lee township, farmer;
Charles BROCKWAY, Sutter, farmer; Isaac CLARK, Alder Creek, merchant; A.B.
GILBERT, Brighton township, hotel keeper; E.D. HOSKINS, Folsom, real estate
dealer; James HOWSTEAD, city, machinist; A. HEYMAN, city, musician; S.E.
HERRICK, city, merchant; James HAWKS, city, merchant; B.C. QUIGLEY, Folsom,
merchant; O. INGERSOLL, Cosumnes, farmer; David BARTON, city, grain dealer; O.C. LEWIS,
Folsom, real estate dealer; D.B. SEELEY, Folsom, hotel keeper; Patrick BANNON,
American township, farmer; L. ELKUS, city, tailor; Eben
OWEN, city, gentleman; Peter BURNS, Sutter, farmer; George I. LYTLE, city,
newsman. It will be perceived that the record reveals the pleasing fact that
there is at least one gentleman on the list.
POLICE COURT
YESTERDAY - J.W. PENROSE was sentenced, for stealing thirty-four dollars worth
of Dennery & Co.'s crockery, to pay $100 fine, or
serve fifty days in the chain gang. Jas. WELCH asked to be tried by a jury for
assault and battery on B.N. SAUNDERS, and the case was
put off till Saturday. Daniel COSTELL was laboring under a high state of
excitement and four distinct accusations - two for assaulting and battering his
wife, one for the same offense against Mrs. Catharine WELSH, and one for
disturbing the public peace promiscuously. He brought a counter charge of
disturbance of the peace against Mrs. WELSH, and asked for several more
warrants, but the Court said there had been complaints enough in this affair
for the present, and postponed the whole thing till to-day. A lad named L.A.
YATES pleaded guilty of stealing jewelry belonging to Mrs. LASKY, and is to be
sentenced this morning. Subsequently his mother, from whom he ran away, came in
great distress, and had an interview with Judge HOLL. The watch stealing case
of EMERSON, the confidential Captain, was again postponed for one day. Porter CUNNINGHAM was examined for rape, as
elsewhere appears.
SCLAVONIC -
Of the two Austrians whose remains were recently taken through the city from
Nevada Territory to San Francisco, the name of Marco ZENOVICH should have been
given instead of Marco MILLANOVICH, as a former resident of Sacramento and
member of the Confidence Engine Company. On the arrival of the two bodies at
the railroad depot, and until their transfer to the San Francisco steamer, they
were taken in charge and carefully attended by members of the Sacramento branch
lf the Sclavonic Society. A
delegation of ten members of that Society accompanied the remains from Virginia
City, and four more members were added to their number here - all constituting
a
Committee to
superintend the transfer to San Francisco., The central organization of the Sclavonic Society is located at San Francisco, with
branches in all the principal cities of the Pacific coast.
GREAT STAGE
ROUTE - The greatest stage route in the world is the
one between Atchison, Kansas, and Placerville, California - distance 1,915
miles. Price of passage, $200. From Atchison to Salt Lake
City, Ben. HOLLADAY is sub-contractor, and from Carson to Placerville,
Louis McLEAN, of San
Francisco, is another sub-contractor. But with subdivisions of the line the
traveler has nothing to do. He has only to pay his $200 for the whole journey -
$150 from or to Salt Lake, and $75 from or to Denver, starting from the East,
and the companies complete their arrangements satisfactorily, and transport him
to his destinations within schedule time. With the co-operation of the
Telegraph Companies, the Division Agents have a perfect understanding of the
condition of the route, and neither accident nor difficulty can occur on the
way without prompt attention and assistance being rendered. There are over two
hundred stages and over three thousand horses and mules in this service,
transporting mails, passengers and treasure. The Superintendents, division
agents, station keepers, stock tenders and messengers are legion. - Onconta (N.Y.) Herald.

Later from China
The bark Emily
Dunning arrived to-night in 45 days from China, with Shanghae dates to the 27th of May.
The news from Japan
was to the 14th of May. The Japanese Government refuses
entirely the demands of the English, and the foreigners had been notified to retire to the ships in the harbor. It is evident
that a war will result from
the obstinacy of the Princes, who detest foreigners, and have power sufficient to coerce the Tycoon.

REPORTED OUTRAGE AT FOREST HILL - A correspondent of the
Union, writing from Forest Hill,
July 22d, states that some Secessionist or Secessionists early on the morning of that day took possession of the gun which
some friends of the Union
had left on the hillside above the town after firing a salute over the glorious news of the taking of Vicksburg and Port
Hudson, loaded it with rusty
spikes, bolt heads and slugs of iron, and discharged it into the town. The
contents for the most part passed over the town but a portion took effect in two and three story buildings, and among them the
Forest House and Placer
Courier office (Union paper). The latter building sustained considerable damage, and especially the printing department.
The Forest House fared
but little better; one slug of wagon tire passing through several of its walls and partitions, and lodging finally in
a bed room door where two
young ladies were sleeping, while eleven more of the missiles went clattering indiscriminately through the sleeping apartments
of other lodgers. No one was hurt. The party suspected for a
pursuit were being organized.
DIED FROM WOUNDS - The Marysville Appeal of July 23d has the
following:
H.A. CHARLES,
Secretary of the California Stage Company, has received a letter informing him of the death of Frank M. ROBINSON, his
brother-in-law. He was badly
wounded in the terrible battle of Champion Hill, during the first assault on Vicksburg, May 16th, and died on the 27th of the
same month. In
that assault his regiment, the Twenty-fourth Iowa, lost 201 out of 415 with which they went into the fight. FRANK was a clerk
in the Marysville Post Office
in 1857, being then but a mere boy. He showed his patriotism by joining the three months men when the war broke out, and
when his term of enlistment
expired, by enlisting for the war. CHARLES lost an own brother recently in the National army.

Extensive
Fraud - Order of Collector - Reported Confederate Steamer - Arrivals from
Honolulu, China and East
SAN
FRANCISCO, July 30th
There is a great excitement in mercantile
circles in consequence of the discovery of a stupendous system of fraud, which
has apparently been practiced for some time in the Extension Empire Warehouse
of A.S. ELDRIDGE, in this city. It seems that the chief clerk, named
GARTHWAITE, in collusion with another clerk named LORING, has hypothecated goods
in storage to different parties, receiving large advances upon them. Some of
the goods were hypothecated several times over. Receipts were also issued in
GARTHWAITE's
name for goods belonging to other merchants, and money raised on them.
GARTHWAITE made large sums of money in tobacco speculations a year ago, and was
presumed to be wealthy; but it seems he lost money in mining speculations
recently. Merchants who had goods stored have been all day hauling their
property away. Suits have been commenced against ELDRIDGE and GARTHWAITE to the
amount of $71,000. Suits have also been commenced against GARTHWAITE separately
to a large amount. It is thought that ELDRIDGE was innocent of any knowledge of
the frauds GARTHWAITE is in to, having just returned from Sacramento, where he
won a horse race recently, but his confederate, LORING, has disappeared.
Collector LOW has issued his order requiring
that on and after August 1st no vessels leaving this port, other
than steamers and packets known to be engaged in regular lines, will be allowed
to go to sea except during daylight; all vessels entering must report to the
Revenue cutter Shubrick, between Fort Point and North
Beach.
In Valparaiso a rumor was current that a
Confederate steamer had been seen near that port. A British bark at that place
reports that she was boarded in the Atlantic by a suspicious steamer calling
herself the United States gunboat Ticonderoga.
The bark Comet arrived to-day from Honolulu,
with dates to July 4th. The volcano Kilauea is again active. The light was
distinctly seen at Hilo.
The rumor that the Nicaragua line has been
bought off is authoritatively denied.
Ship Black Prince, fifty days from Hongkong, brings 367 Chinese.
The ship Orpheus, 123 days from New York, to
Coleman & Co., has arrived.
Secession
Barbecue at Marysville, and Fatal Accident
MARYSVILLE, July 30th
A mass meeting of the "Democracy"
of the counties of Colusa, Sutter and Yuba was held at Marysville Park to-day.
The attendance was large, being variously estimated at from three to five
thousand [?]. . A barbecue at the Park supplied sufficient food for all in
attendance. Speeches were made by Tod ROBINSON,
ex-Governors BIGLER and WELLER, COFFROTH and WHITESIDES. To-night there was a
large torchlight procession, which closed with a display of fireworks.
Arrangements had been made for speaking on
Second street, in front of the Western Hotel, and soon
after the display of fireworks a rush was made to secure every eligible
position on all sides of the street. So great a crowd congregated on the
balcony of the building on Second street opposite the hotel that its supports
gave way and precipitated the whole crowd, including many ladies and children,
a distance of fifteen or twenty feet to the ground. I can at present learn of only one death - one
SHARP, who was
killed instantly
from fracture of the skull, but a great many are more or less injured, with
broken arms and legs, bruises and gashes - some ten or twelve quite seriously.
The whole portico in front of the Telegraph office and California Stage
Company's office gave way in front simultaneously, but the portion adjoining
the building held fast, thus precipitating the living mass into the street. But
few persons happened to be immediately under the porch at the time, and these,
including the telegraph operator, escaped with
only slight
injuries.
Murders by
Indians - Assistance Called For
WEAVERVILLE, July 30th
The following letter was received here
to-day:
NEW RIVER, July 28th
To the citizens of Weaverville: On last
Friday evening the Indians killed Madam WEAVER and Con MORRICK, and burned
their houses, barns, etc. On the same evening they made an attack on Thomas'
place. He saved his life by running through the woods, pursued by Indians. They
have now full possession of Trinity river from Hoopa
to Taylor's Flat, and are threatening to take New River. We expect an attack
every minute. There is not a sufficient number of men
to guard the town and go after the Indians at the same time. If the people of Weaverville can assist us in
any way, or represent the case to the Governor so that we can get some
immediate assistance, we will ever be grateful R.L. THOMAS, and 12 others New River is about forty and Taylor?s thirty-five miles from here.

the treaty ground Sagwich was shot by a member of
captain Urmy's company, who were on their return from
Fort Connor and were not informed of the projected treaty. Sagwich was not so
badly wounded, however, as not to be able to attend. The only hostile Indians
now consist of a small band of Goshutes, near Ruby, who have been driven back
into the mountains, and must soon come in or be exterminated, there being six
companies of soldiers at that place

miner at Poverty Hill, in this county, and who left here for his old home some time last Fall, shot
and killed a
man named Gay RICHARDSON, shortly after arriving, for improper intimacy with
his wife. The tragedy occurred at Hingham, in Maine. SOUTHER
was indicted
for manslaughter, and plead guilty. Judge RUSSELL, who presided, in view of the
distressing circumstances under which the homicide was committed, sentenced him
to one year's imprisonment and a fine of $100.
SOUTHER has many friends in this county, and they ought to get up a
petition for his pardon and forward it to the Governor of Maine - Sonora
Democrat.
BLOOD WILL
TELL - A friend of ours was riding the other day in a stage with what he took
to be an intelligent woman, who expressed a very strong sympathy with Jeff.
DAVIS. She took occasion to say her sons would vote the Democratic ticket this
year. On inquiry, we have learned the name of the woman, and find that she did
her sons a slight injustice, not but that their will is strong enough to vote
that way, but one of them is in the State prison and the other was convicted in
the Court of Sessions on Tuesday for
robbery, and will
be sent to keep his brother company - Nevada Democrat.

N.A. CAHILL was accidentally shot by one of

The

forty-three years of age, and that he came to his death by an accidental gun shot from a double-barreled gun, in the hands of J.R.
WATKINS, at Lexington."
Iowa Hill - A telegram dated at Iowa Hill, August 5th, has the
following:
The boarding house of the Union Quartz mill,
near this place, was accidentally burned last night, together with their office
and contents. Books and papers saved. Loss, $1,500.
Also, the new Indian Canon bridge, on the

MURDER TRIAL
AT SHASTA - Charles FRANKLIN was tried at Shasta, last week, on a charge of
having murdered Edward IVERSON on the 15th of December last, at French Gulch.
The trial was commenced before Judge DAINGERFIELD, on Monday morning, and
concluded on Friday, resulting in the acquittal of the defendant. The trial was
conducted by District Attorney KNOX and E. GARTER, for the prosecution, and
R.T. SPRAGUE and ___ MIX of Shasta, and N. Greene CURTIS of this city, for the
defense. IVERSON was shot through a window in the night by some
one on the outside of the building.
A MINING
HUMBUG - We find a notice in the stock quoting papers (and we refer especially
to the Sacramento Union of August 8th), that stock in the "Grey
Ledge" was sold at San Francisco, August 6th, at $6-$7. This, we presume,
means six and seven dollars per foot; and if the "Grey Ledge" is, as
we suppose, located on Murphy's Flat, Calaveras county,
it is not worth six dollars per acre. - Stockton Independent.
We take our quotations of mining stock sales
in San Francisco from the Bulletin, and it is so announced over the notice of
sales in each and every number of the Union. We have no knowledge of the reliability
of the reported sales.
T.G. PHELPS
- This gentleman, on his return from Reese river, stopped at Virginia and
delivered an address on political affairs. The speaker reviewed the
inconsistency of Copperheads and traitors living on this coast, and concluded
his remarks, according to the Virginia Union, by defense of the Administration
in all its retaliatory acts - reviewing the Emancipation and Confiscation Acts,
and suspension of the writ of habeas corpus, in detail.
THE LATE
MURDER ON LOWER TRINITY - The Weaverville Journal of August 8th, referring to a
murder already mentioned in the Union, says:
Corporal
UNDERWOOD, of Captain OUSLEY's command, sends us the following statement in
relation to the late tragedy near the mouth of New river:
On the 29th ult an Indian brought word to Hoopa that Mrs. WEAVER and a
man living with her near the mouth of New river, had been murdered and her
house burned by Indians. The Corporal, with fifteen men, was ordered to proceed
to the designated location and ascertain the facts. Everything was found as
reported, except that the woman bore evidence of having been burned to death -
nothing but the skeleton remaining. He thinks the deed must have been committed
at least two weeks before their arrival. The barrels of a rifle, shot gun and revolver were
found in the ruins. No trace of the man said to have been living with her could
be found. The barn was not burned, and some thirty head of cattle in a field near by were left undisturbed. The soldiers report that
other places along the river were all right - not even the grain destroyed.
There is something mysterious about this thing. What became of the man?
THE HOMICIDE
IN SHASTA - The Courier of August 8th has the following version of a late
shooting affair in its county:
On
Saturday last an affray occurred at a cabin on Salt Creek, near the Lower
Springs, in this county, between a man named GREEN and
William McFARRON, in which the latter was shot and
mortally wounded. It appears the difficulty arose about the amount of gold
taken from a quantity of quartz by GREEN. In the dispute high words arose, and it is said GREEN ordered McFARRON to leave his cabin, which he did, and after
getting some distance from the cabin picked up some rocks and was advancing
again towards the cabin, when GREEN seized a gun loaded with bird shot and
discharged it at McFARRON, striking him in the left
side and arm above the elbow, carrying away a large portion of the muscle of
the arm, and shattering the bone, a few shot penetrating the body so as to
produce internal hemorrhage. GREEN immediately came to town and delivered
himself up to the Sheriff and was placed in jail. Drs. PELHAM and SHURTLEFF
were called to dress the wounds of McFARRON, and on
Tuesday last the arm was amputated. The unfortunate man lingered until Friday
morning, when death put an end to his sufferings.
TROUBLES
NORTH - The Weaverville Journal of August 8th says:
GREENHOOD received a dispatch from Governor
Stanford on Wednesday stating that General Wright would take immediate steps
for the protection of the people living on the Trinity border. It is more than
possible that as soon as Captain Miller's Company is mustered in a portion of
it will be stationed in the vicinity of Hiampom, and
the remainder on Trinity river, perhaps in the South
Fork section. Lieutenant Middleton is of opinion that a detachment could be
used to good advantage in Alexander PELLETREAU's neighborhood, in intercepting
the redskins as they pass from the upper Cottonwood country into southern
Trinity and Humboldt.

Arrest
of a Jeff. Davis man - Copperheads compromised - Charge by Judge
Field Defining Treason - Sentence - Divorces - Mining Assessments - Arrival.
SAN FRANCISCO, August 11th
Deputy United States Marshal MORRIS, of San
Jose, arrived here to-day, having in custody Thomas Jerome WELLS, arrested for
shouting for Jeff. Davis
and denouncing President Lincoln. Wells is a native of Tennessee, and
came here from Arkansas. It is rumored that a man was arrested at Redwood City,
Saturday night, for uttering treasonable sentiments on the occasion of a public
meeting which was addressed buy Weller and Downey; also that an ex-Governor of
this State and an ex-Senator of the United States, consented to ride in their
carriage behind a secession flag which was displayed by an ex-Sheriff of a
southern county. About this affair there are several rumors predicated upon
some statements made by Marshal Morris; but as he has returned to San Jose I am
unable to hear further. The reports are authorized. Wells is in custody of the
Provost Guard.
Judge FIELD, of the United States Circuit
Court, to-day delivered a very elaborate charge to the Grand Jury of the United
States, in which he gave a definition of treason. The scene in Court was
intensely interesting. In speaking of the charge, lawyers say it is masterly -
a complete definition of treason and a thorough vindication of the Acts of the
Government in suspending the writ of habeas corpus in certain cases. A copy of
the charge entire is being prepared for the Union, and will be forwarded by express
to-morrow. It is thought by those who heard the charge, that in the event of
the conviction of the parties concerned in the Chapman enterprise, they cannot,
under the laws, escape the death penalty. The Act of Congress, the Judge
remarked, is more full than the constitutional provision, which simply defines the crime. It
goes further, and designates the persons by whom the crime may be committed, viz: By any person owing allegiance to the United States.
Allegiance be defined to mean, that fidelity and obedience which the citizen or
subject owes to the Government under which he lives, in return for the
protection he receives. Allegiance may be absolute and permanent, or it may be
qualified and temporary. The citizen or subject owes permanent allegiance until
he removes it and becomes a citizen or subject of another Government. The alien
owes a qualified and temporary allegiance whilst residing in the United States.
Every one enjoying even transiently the protection of our laws owes this
temporary allegiance to the Government during the period of his residence. The
Act of Congress includes all persons who owe any allegiance, foreigners
resident in the country as well as citizens. Alienage
is no excuse for the commission of the crime of treason any more than for the
commission of any other crime. The term "levying war" was defined as
embracing any combination in military array forcibly to prevent or oppose the
execution of any constitutional or statutory provision of the United States, or
to subvert the Government
or any Department of it, or to compel the repeal or alteration of
the Constitution or laws, the combination being accompanied or followed by
actual force. The combined resistance to the application of a law to an
individual case would not be treason, though it would be a serious offense; but
a combined resistance to the general execution of the law would be treason. The
ingredients necessary to constitute levying war are, first, a military
assemblage in force; second, a treasonable purpose; and third, an actual use of
the treasonable force as intended. Levying war and conspiring to levy war were
defined as distinct crimes; but to aid in the prosecution of a war already
levied, at whatever distance form the scene of the
war, is treason.
A man named Jeffrey Hazard TILLINGHEAT fell
from Folsom street wharf into the bay to-day and was drowned. He was a native
of Providence (R.I.), aged fifty-six years.
Charles ELLIS, convicted of grand larceny,
was sentenced to one year in the State Prison.
The Fourth District Court to-day granted
divorces in the cases of Lucilla COPELAND against
Willie COPELAND, and Eliza HOHN against John C. HOHN.
In a mining suit, Judge REYNOLDS decides that
assessments cannot be levied on the stock of any company until all the stock
has been taken.
Arrived, ship Crescent City, 175 days from
Philadelphia, to Forbes & Co.

DEMOCRATIC
ATTACK ON COLORED PEOPLE - The Boston Post says, and it is simply what any
human being should say, that ?it is the meanest and
most cowardly revenge to persecute the poor negroes. No blame can justly attach
to them. They have been a passive
element in this dreadful controversy, and to turn upon the defenseless beings
with the savage ferocity that has been exhibited, is a brutality that deserves
the severest execration and punishment.
SANTA CLARA
- A dispatch dated at Santa Clara, August 12th, says:
VANSCOIT and HOLIDAY, Union candidates for
the Legislature, are speaking to a crowd. The greatest enthusiasm in
manifested. Santa Clara is as brim full of loyal men as ever sustained any
Government. The band is out now and many ladies are in attendance. The town is
illuminated with bonfires.
THE FORREST
DIVORCE CASE AGAIN - The FORREST divorce case was indirectly up again yesterday
in the Superior Court. Mrs. FORREST claims a balance of $3,750 as due her and
unpaid. The Court ordered that the Trust Company holding the mortgage to
FORREST by the Society of St. Vincent de Paul shall deduct the amount from
accruing interest, and pay it over to Mrs. FORREST. - New York Tribune, July
24th
POETRY ON
DOWNEY - Captain Asa G. HOUGHTON, the celebrated
Mount Shasta poet, is preparing a reply to John G. DOWNEY?s
address to the Confederate Democracy of California. Such a document as Downey’s
address can best be disposed of in poetry. There is very little of common sense
or reason in it.
KILLED - A
man by the name of WATERS, one of the proprietors of the Centerville House, at
the Sink of the Carson, was instantly killed a few days since by being struck
on the head with a monkey wrench by a man with whom he had some difficulty.
ROBBERY IN
SUISUN - The stable of D.E. STOCKMAN, at Suisun, was
entered on Wednesday morning, August 12th, and his horse, carriage, harness,
and a saddle were taken. The horse was white - well known in the State –
formerly owned by D.E. CALLAHAN of Sacramento.
MURDER IN
MARIPOSA COUNTY - The body of John BARBAGELETTE, an
Italian, was found, August 11th, about one mile from Hornitos, with indications
that he had been murdered. The murder is supposed to have been committed by Italians.
THE GOLDEN
AGE - This steamer, which sailed for Panama August 13th, took the following
passengers in addition to those mentioned in the Union:
Zeba LAMB, Samuel
COLE, Joseph G. BERNARD and servant, W.H. HANSEN, wife and two infants; William COCK and son, Richard S. DANA, Master
James H. TEAKLE, Peter BOLINGER, Henry S. WALCOTT, Mrs. S.M. DAVIS, Charles A.
CARY and wife, B.W. EAKEN, B.H. BROOKS, Joseph GALL, Miss R.S. COCK, Mrs.
Harriet E. MILLS.

Arrived - Steamer Senator,
from Los Angeles; schooner J.M. CHAPMAN, thirty-six days from Mazatlan, and schooner

CONTRIBUTIONS
FOR THE STATE FAIR - The Ione Chronicle of August 13th says:
Newton & Co. intend to donate a fine
specimen of their ore, weighing between three and four hundred pounds, to the
cabinet of the State Agricultural Society. The Chapparal
Company will also donate a mammoth specimen of ore from their copper mine. We
hope that every mine in Amador county will have its
metallic representative in the State cabinet. At the approaching State Fair,
the cabinet of minerals will be the great center of attraction, and we hope
that our miners will not allow "Little Amador" to be excelled in its
exhibit of mineral wealth by any county in the State.
