A Poetic Gem. The following beautiful lines are ascribed to the pen of Wolfe, the author of the ‘Burial of Sir John Moore,’ written soon after the death of his beloved wife. And thou shouldst smi'e no more. . ville that night. While their supper And still — that face I look, was preparing, they laid hold of the And thiak ‘twill smile again ; fragments of the regular supper, and devoured them like wolves, as if they had not recently eaten. A person in the kitchen, who had beet! interpretin between them and the cook, asked them where they had been, and they replied that they had been on Feather river selling cattle. ‘They manifested great haste, continually hurrying the cook ; and would not go out into the public apartment to eat their supper, insisting upon doing so in the kitchen. All four of them were young men, well dressed, two of them in blue pantaleons, open at the side, with bright buttons, and were of light complexion. Their appearance excited the remark from the cook, that he had never seen Mexicans so well dressed and so “bright” and gertlemanly. Their description by him leaves very little doubt that they were the same four Mexicans mentioned in yesterday’s Express as being suspected of the murder near Bidwell’s. While at J supper, one of them was seen to walk pe oe crower ta twice over to the wagon in which _ nbsp type leap deogp Mather was lying, and go completely Methought some Leni Hew: heavy grief. round it. About half an hour after Was preying on his heart, the Mexicans had left Miller’s, one of them returned, and notwithstanding they had eaten a very hearty supper, bought several pounds of crackers, some sardines, nnd some onions, though the party had stated that they were in a hurry because they were going through to Marysville that night. These mattcrs however, were not particularly noticed until after the intelligence of the murders. The two men betore mentioned had also told the same story at Natchez, when they stopped, that they had previously told the man who related it at the Honcut Rancho. Four mounted men therefore left Natchez in search, and after proceeding a short distance they met a party of six men from Bidwell’s, who were in search of the four Mexicans, and with them went in search of the murdered man, but to their astonishment they found two instead of one, and returned to Natchez with this information. They arrived there about two hours after nighttall. In the meantime, Mr. Parfitt had ars rived there with the intelligence of having found Mather, and his and their stories being at variance, a party of fifteen or twenty men, on foot and horseback, left, with a horse and cart, which was taken to bring in the bodies. After searching some time with lights, the two men were found about one hundred yards from Ma‘{ther’s body. These two men were recognized as two who had left Honcut Rancho on foot, that morning. ‘They were going to Natchez. It is probable that they had met the Ran ert who were murdering . . ather, and had interfered.

THE PRINTERS GRIEF. A tear was in the Printer's eye, A shadow on his face, Might happiness impart. Than by his side I stood— “Tell me, my friend, thy es I said, He gazed at me a moment, then He turned away and sighed, And, answering, said, ‘‘a Of nonpariel I’ve pi'd.”* * A printer can fully comprehend the grief whieh filled the poor fellow under the circumstances, and outsiders happily unconcious of the mystery and misery of typos, are informed that ‘nontion of type—and that “pi” is the genermass, to be assorted and put back where they belong by a vory slow and tedious “OLD MRS.

All three of the murdered men had iently armed, they did net think it} marks of a lariat upon their neck, prudent to interfere. Mr. Parfitt,{having been dragged out uf the road upon hearing this, started out in the} by that means. i direction described by tle men, and} Just as the party were’ putting the after a little search found the body of bodies into the cart, » bay horse came up to them ; he had the’ marks of the’ saddle upon him, where he had sweated, and had evidently beer’ ridden hard that day. This horse the party took: with them to Miller’s ; he corresponds’ to the deseription of a horse one of the Mexicans rode when he stopped there. The bodies of these three mien were taken to Natchez, washed and laid out at a late hour on Tuesday night. They -were to be buried yesterday morning. In the mean time the Coroner had been sent for. Humanity shudders at the recital of ders that have recently been committed in our neighborhood. We sincerely hope that the perpetrators of these’ deeds will be discovered and brought to most summary justice, of which there is now some probability. A Mexican who was caught stealing” mules, and arrested at the Sonorian Camp, three miles from town, is now lying in jail, and we understand has confessed to being one of the party who are supposed to have committed these murders. He says he would have been with them, had he been well. P. S.—Since writing the above we learn that siz other men have been found murdered, near the sathe place. At the last hour at which we receive the information, we can glean no particulars, except that the men appear to, have been killed by the same means and instruments as Mather, Jenkinson, and Gardiner, We have been called upon to chronicle the murder of seventeen fellow beinys in the course of a few days. This wholesale butchery of men calls for something more than words. There is no telling who may fall by the knives or pistols of these desperadoes. Let us be up and at work! Let us proceed with caution, but finding those upon whom the crimes can be proven, make of them a TERRIBLE WARNING to all evil doers! A meeting of thé Vigilance Committee is to be held this morning at 10 o'clock. We hope all will attend, and that some prompt action will be had Post Scrirt.—One o'clock, A.it.— The Sheriff, Mr. R. B. Bachanan, and his. posse, went out to the Sonorian Camp, hearing that thtee of the men suspected of the recent murdets were there, and while he was iggy the bars of a fence, he was in the back, near the spine, the ball passing out in front, near the hip, and ve severely—it is feared mortally; wounded. There is great excitement in the city, and parties are leaving for the Camp. f The Press —From the valedietory. of Thomas Richie, of the Washington Union, we make the following extract for the truth of the sentiments and the earnest feeling with which they are uttered, to his young brethren of the press: “ One word more to my brethren of the press, and I have done. They have called me the veteran of the press, ‘ Father Ritchie,’ and all those amiable epithets which seem to give me some right to speak to them in that character. You have a profession, gentlemen, of the highest importance to our country. In fact, I do not see how a great republic can be supported without an intermediate organ, which shall make known the acts of their agents to the people, or of the people to their agents. ut iit a thousand ways the press is of inestimable importance to the people. It should, of course, be a profession of high honor to those who officiate at its fountain. It would certainly be one of the most dignified pursuits in society, if it were conducted in the spirit which becomes its im with talent, independence, gentlemanly lib~ erality, and with a decency and courtesy which are due frem one editor to another. I have often asked the question, how can editors expect the respect of the world, if they do not show some respect for gach other? No man knows better’ than the retiring editor of the Union, the difficulties, the sacrifi¢es, the drudgery which attend the profession; and yet it becomes you to overcome them all, when your duty‘ requires it. You must, therefore, carry into your task an indomitable spirit which quails under no difficulty. You should fear nothing but the neglect of your duties and the reproef of your own conscience. You should think for yourselves, listeni Pan same time to every man “will tell you the truth; and when “have . made up your own opinions, carry them out in the firm spirit-of a free press.”

While their supper And still — that face I look, was preparing, they laid hold of the And thiak ‘twill smile again ; fragments of the regular supper, and devoured them like wolves, as if they had not recently eaten. A person in the kitchen, who had beet! interpretin between them and the cook, asked them where they had been, and they replied that they had been on Feather river selling cattle. ‘They manifested great haste, continually hurrying the cook ; and would not go out into the public apartment to eat their supper, insisting upon doing so in the kitchen. All four of them were young men, well dressed, two of them in blue pantaleons, open at the side, with bright buttons, and were of light complexion. Their appearance excited the remark from the cook, that he had never seen Mexicans so well dressed and so “bright” and gertlemanly. Their description by him leaves very little doubt that they were the same four Mexicans mentioned in yesterday’s Express as being suspected of the murder near Bidwell’s. While at J supper, one of them was seen to walk pe oe crower ta twice over to the wagon in which _ nbsp type leap deogp Mather was lying, and go completely Methought some Leni Hew: heavy grief. round it. About half an hour after Was preying on his heart, the Mexicans had left Miller’s, one of them returned, and notwithstanding they had eaten a very hearty supper, bought several pounds of crackers, some sardines, nnd some onions, though the party had stated that they were in a hurry because they were going through to Marysville that night. These mattcrs however, were not particularly noticed until after the intelligence of the murders. The two men betore mentioned had also told the same story at Natchez, when they stopped, that they had previously told the man who related it at the Honcut Rancho. Four mounted men therefore left Natchez in search, and after proceeding a short distance they met a party of six men from Bidwell’s, who were in search of the four Mexicans, and with them went in search of the murdered man, but to their astonishment they found two instead of one, and returned to Natchez with this information. They arrived there about two hours after nighttall. In the meantime, Mr. Parfitt had ars rived there with the intelligence of having found Mather, and his and their stories being at variance, a party of fifteen or twenty men, on foot and horseback, left, with a horse and cart, which was taken to bring in the bodies. After searching some time with lights, the two men were found about one hundred yards from Ma‘{ther’s body. These two men were recognized as two who had left Honcut Rancho on foot, that morning. ‘They were going to Natchez. It is probable that they had met the Ran ert who were murdering . . ather, and had interfered.

This horse the party took: with them to Miller’s ; he corresponds’ to the deseription of a horse one of the Mexicans rode when he stopped there. The bodies of these three mien were taken to Natchez, washed and laid out at a late hour on Tuesday night. They -were to be buried yesterday morning. In the mean time the Coroner had been sent for. Humanity shudders at the recital of ders that have recently been committed in our neighborhood. We sincerely hope that the perpetrators of these’ deeds will be discovered and brought to most summary justice, of which there is now some probability. A Mexican who was caught stealing” mules, and arrested at the Sonorian Camp, three miles from town, is now lying in jail, and we understand has confessed to being one of the party who are supposed to have committed these murders. He says he would have been with them, had he been well. P. S.—Since writing the above we learn that siz other men have been found murdered, near the sathe place. At the last hour at which we receive the information, we can glean no particulars, except that the men appear to, have been killed by the same means and instruments as Mather, Jenkinson, and Gardiner, We have been called upon to chronicle the murder of seventeen fellow beinys in the course of a few days. This wholesale butchery of men calls for something more than words. There is no telling who may fall by the knives or pistols of these desperadoes. Let us be up and at work! Let us proceed with caution, but finding those upon whom the crimes can be proven, make of them a TERRIBLE WARNING to all evil doers! A meeting of thé Vigilance Committee is to be held this morning at 10 o'clock. We hope all will attend, and that some prompt action will be had Post Scrirt.—One o'clock, A.it.— The Sheriff, Mr. R. B. Bachanan, and his. posse, went out to the Sonorian Camp, hearing that thtee of the men suspected of the recent murdets were there, and while he was iggy the bars of a fence, he was in the back, near the spine, the ball passing out in front, near the hip, and ve severely—it is feared mortally; wounded. There is great excitement in the city, and parties are leaving for the Camp. f The Press —From the valedietory. of Thomas Richie, of the Washington Union, we make the following extract for the truth of the sentiments and the earnest feeling with which they are uttered, to his young brethren of the press: “ One word more to my brethren of the press, and I have done. They have called me the veteran of the press, ‘ Father Ritchie,’ and all those amiable epithets which seem to give me some right to speak to them in that character. You have a profession, gentlemen, of the highest importance to our country. In fact, I do not see how a great republic can be supported without an intermediate organ, which shall make known the acts of their agents to the people, or of the people to their agents. ut iit a thousand ways the press is of inestimable importance to the people. It should, of course, be a profession of high honor to those who officiate at its fountain. It would certainly be one of the most dignified pursuits in society, if it were conducted in the spirit which becomes its im with talent, independence, gentlemanly lib~ erality, and with a decency and courtesy which are due frem one editor to another. I have often asked the question, how can editors expect the respect of the world, if they do not show some respect for gach other? No man knows better’ than the retiring editor of the Union, the difficulties, the sacrifi¢es, the drudgery which attend the profession; and yet it becomes you to overcome them all, when your duty‘ requires it. You must, therefore, carry into your task an indomitable spirit which quails under no difficulty. You should fear nothing but the neglect of your duties and the reproef of your own conscience. You should think for yourselves, listeni Pan same time to every man “will tell you the truth; and when “have . made up your own opinions, carry them out in the firm spirit-of a free press.”
