‘Murper anp Lyncn Law rn Srerra.
‘The following particulars of a brutal mur‘der by Chinamen, and the lynching of
ene of the supposed murderers at Chipp’s
Flat, Sierra county, is furnished us by a
gentleman who came over from that place
on Saturday last. 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.

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,

“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.”

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.
