Early last week a ‘store house at Chipp’s Flat was robbed of a considerable amount of goods and provisions, The Chinese were suspicioned of + having committed the robbery, and John Newhouse, an owner of part of the goods, determined to watch the Chinese camp, and find if possible, some clue to the robbery. For this purpose he started for ~ Chinatown on Wednesday night, refusing toallow any one toaccompany him, though parties offered to go. He did not return on Thursday, and a party of men, fearing he had been foully dealt with, went to look'for him. They could find no trace . of him in Chipp’s Flat, and crossed over to Alleghanytown on the opposite side of the river. In, searching the Chinese camp in this place, they found oyster cans [: and other articles with Newhouse’s mark upon them. A Chinaman known as ‘Whalebone, on whose premises these things were found, was atrested, and after threats and promises that no harm should , come to him if he told what had become of the missing man, he stated that “Newheuse had abused and beat Chinamen, and ‘that he had been stabbed’and killed.” He then led them to the spot at Chipp’s Flat where the remains. were buried. The hody was uncovered and found to be cut into two parts, which the Chinaman stated was done that it -might be the more easily disposed of. The whole community. was shocked and exasperated iy the brutality of the deed, but no movement. for the punishment of the crime was made until Friday morning, when a jury was being empanneled at the Flat by a Justice of the Peace to enquire into the cause of the death of Newhonse. It soon became noised around that Whalebone was present, and in a few moments—before the jury could be sworn—an excited crowd of from one to two hundred persons collected in the tewn. Threats had been made. before, but it was not feared that any popular movement for speedy retribution would be made. The presence of the Chinaman and the body of the victim so exasperated , The crowd, that they rushed into Court, “overpowered the officers, seized the Chi-. naman and beat him to death with stones ~ The body of the murderer was then taken and suspended from a tree on the opposite side Bf the road. This deed seoms to have aroused the crowd and the wildest excite ment prevailed. They rushed upon the Chinese quarters of the town and in a few minutes every cabin was leveled to the ground. The Chinese were compelled to beat a hasty retreat. The excited crowd then proceeded to Alleghanytown, where the Celéstials received like treatment. Not a single cabin inhabited by Chinese was left on the ground over which the crowd traveled. A looker on ‘states that ho never saw a crowd of men insuch a wild excitement. All the time the officers exercised their utmost powers to prevent the destruction of property.— Had it not been for their efforts, Chinese settlements in other parts of Sierra and Nevada “counties, along the course of the Yubas would havo shared a like fate. DECLARATION OF INTENTION —Bennctt Dunstan, a native of England, yesterday declared his intention to become a citizen of the United States in the County Clerk’s ‘ Eastern Parers.—We are indebted to George R.'Crawford for a supply of Eastern Pictorials received by the steamer which arrived on Saturday. Crawford has all the late magazines and papers. A LIVE turtle was received in Rochester by mail recently, the stamp and address being pasted on the shell. RaFFLE.—The sewing machine to be taffled by R. A. Diver, will be thrown for > atthe saloon of Carley & Beckman, this exening at half past 7 o'clock. Those: hate chances are requested to be on ces. from Washington, says the Union, te the effect that the French Government does not wish to stand by its arrangement with Seward to withdraw its ‘troops from Mexico before Winter, but desires to keep them there until Spring. It is further stated that this matter was before the Cabinet at a late session, and that the French Government has” been or will be ndlified that the former arrangement will not be departed from. It is evident that Napoleon designs to play with our Goyernment a little longer, and his former ex. perience teaches him that he can probably do s0 with impunity. General Grant having been present. ot the Cabinet meeting may have contribnted a little, back-bone to its couiicils. LoyaL SLAVE OWNERS.—The President is about to appoint Commissioners for Maryland, Kentucky, Delaware and *Missouri, under the recent act of Congress, to make awards in sums of not more than $300 each to loyal owners of slaves, where the latter ‘enlisted in the United States army. Where an award is made, it is to be paid out.of the draft commutation fund, especially set apart for that purpose by Congress, If the loyalty of the claimants for these awards is judged by the Johnson standard, the rebels whose negroes left them to fight the Union’s battles, will probably gét a large share of the money. A WITNESS in the Howland will case has examined several thousand signatures to see if a person can repeat his signature exactly—and he concludes that it cannot be done. THE secret police of the Emperor Napoleon are never far away from him. — Two of them—quiet looking men, in citizens’ dress—follow him at a little distance when . he goes out to walk. aii denna aiiicnancneetlh A SUBSTANTIAL brick house, containing eight rooms has been purchased, and is in use, as a home forthe newsboys of Cincinnati, Ohio. It is furnished witha kitchen range, beds, and all that is necessary for the comfort of the boys. , A PAPER is about to be started in Florence, Italy, which will bear the extraordinary title of “The Valley of Jehoshaphat, the Organ of the Day of J udgment.” PENSIONS IN CALIFORNIA.—The amount of money paid out*by the Federal Govern‘ment on account of the pensions in this State exceeds $30,000 per annum, says the San Francisco 7imea. a M. M. Noau, for inany years connected ‘with the press of San Francisco, sustained a fracture of two of his ribs at Benicia on Wednesday night, in jumping on board the Chrysopolis from the landing. In making the leap he struck his side violently against the guards, inflicting severe injuries. Great RevivaL.—The people of Atlanta, Georgia, are enjoying a revival of an extraordinary magnitude. Nothing like has ever been known there, All business was suspended one week day, and the entire community went to prayer meeting. Methodist, Presbyterian and Baptist churches havo each their share of con: verts. yPRussta.—On the meeting of Congress resolutions will be introduced calling ~for full information on tlie subject of the action of Prussia, as against American citizens, and the whole matter will be thoroughly investigated, ‘HERE are said to be about thirty distilleries in the Bay City. One distillery is capable of turning out annually 500,000 gallons of spirits. If the others could do as much, the amount of whisky would be 15,000,000 gallons, and the importations are said to be twice as much as the manufactured article. : CHANGE oF Eprrors—Tho Call. says that Mr. McClatchy has been removed by _. the Trustees from the managing editorship of the Times, and Noah Brooks installed in his place. Mr. McClatchiy has a large experience as an editor. Mr. Brooks has been the Washington correspondent of the Sacramento Union, THE New York News wanted Johneon while on his late trip, to stop and “strike a bee'line to W. ” John: son couldn’t strike a bee line, an East@ “Wawra To Back Ovt.—We have advi. B C Howard Grass Vall Abraham Lincoln’s oration at the consecration of the burial ground at Gettysburg. the Westminster Review in a late number Says: ae . “It has but one equal—in that pronouneed upon those who fell during the first year of the Peloponessian war—and in one respect it is supergor to that great speech, It is not only more natural, fuller of feeling, more touching and pathetic, but we know with absolute certainty that it was sreally delivered. Nature here fairly takes precedence of art, even though it be the art of Thucydides.” a A Funny Toast.—The. Bread-and-But terites have this toast: “Cotopaxi and Andrew Johnson ; of all the Andes the most renowned.” The two resemble each other particulars, to wit: they are both given to spouting, they are both generally elgvated, they both emit large quantities of dust, smoke and dirt. Cotopaxi, however, was never Alderman of its native village, and isn’t given to “swinging round the circle.” a DRAWING, TOWARD THE CLOsE.—“The melancholy days have come” for William Cullen Bryant, the idolized poet of every American hearthstone and the chief orna ment of many-a foreign and home library, where his works are enshrined like the godsin the ancient Pantheon. Only’ a few weeks ago the poet's wife, with whom he enjoyed unclouded happiness for nearly half a century, departed this life, and the venerable poet, now greatly advanced in years, cannot long survive the deprivation. = Winter Bonnts.—The new winter bonnets, in Paris recemble miniature cabriolets, they have lage crowns and long curtains, and are altogether. ungraceful and ugly. 1f the form is accepted, the head will be completely buried, and truly it will be passing from one extreme to another. Excessively plain woman will profit by thissudden. change, but those. who have the smallest pretensions to beauty will lose by it. But this novelty. is only an attempt on the milliners’ part to introduce something more’ elaborate and bifficult to fabricate thanthe present simple head-dress. A LONG, exceedingly fine chain is very fashionable at the prsent moment<in ParisIt appears like a string of small. beads; but it is not so. The seeming beads are all metal shaped to simulat beads and linked one within the other. They are used as witch guards,are very inexpensive and may be of gilt, silver or jet. THE Census Bureau estimates that the population of the United States and Territories has increased from 31,423,243— the number found by the census of 1860 —to 35,500,000. _ THE introduction of reaping machines into England has already led to one riot among laborers in Somerset. . cetniatetemremenmremen ARRIVALS AT THE ———____] Broad Street, Nevada City, California, LANCASTER & HASEY, Proprietor.
