The editor af the San Jose Telegraph has been sued for libel, in publishing the proceedings of a public meeting, beld in that county, denouncing the action of the Grand Jury for failing to indict Crosby for participating in the murder of Paul Shores. A man by the name of Miller. who was a member of the Grand Jury, had bis reputation injured to such’ an extent that be has brought suit against the aforesaid editor for $10,000 damages.

But a prisoner who bad beén discharged on Wednesday: gave information of what was going on, and the escape was thus prevented. A Cherokee or Wyandotte Indian, named Frank Tuckworth, was murdered on Tuesday night, April 12th, at Long Bat, Yuba county, he body of the mirdered man, when found the next morning, was much mutilated, ‘and the head was literally covered the dead bodies:of Mrs. mente i and shat of Mrs, Howe’s ivfant, that. night about nine o'clock, At that hour there ¢ame another ‘avalanche, which compelled them to fly forthe night. Early this morning the search was renewed. Mrs, Howe’s body was found at about 8 o'clock, having a large beam resting upen the neck. She’ must bave been killed ‘almost “Yustantly. The body of Mrs,’H.’s little girl was not found up to the time our informant, Mr, R. A. Cochrane, left Monte Cristo. Another child of Mrs. Howe, a bright girl of about seven years, was carried ‘on the top of the avalanche, and was saved, though coneiderably bruised and scratched, The life of Mr. Howe, (busbund of the lady above mentioned,) was saved by one of those mysterious chances which are so common in events of ‘such calamity. He bad but a moment or twe been out of his house, where Mre. Howe and the children were, aud was talking with a near neighbor about the probable danger of a land slide, when the crash came. Three miners, living in a cabin next to the house of Mr, Howe, bad just fivished supper and left their cabin, when it was crushed to atoms, and they bad barely time to flee from impending death, On the Friday evening previous to this sad occurrence, there was a slide, which took away the “dump car’ of the West Point Company, and left fifty feet of their tunnel with bare timbers. Parties living in that part of tbe town had been warned of the danger of remaining there, and on Monday, we understood, Mr. Howe had been searching for a bouse iutending to remmve, with his family, During allof Monday night. fragments of rock and earth were heard tumbling down the mouutain side, aud another slide is looked for.

Tbe flat underlying the impending slide, on whieb a good portion of the town stands, is entirely deserted. The loss is beyond estimation.

The screams appeared to proceed from the Slough near Murray’s House, at the head of Second strect. It was evident that a woman was being drowned and that ehe was calling for belp. A man was seen standing on the bank about that time, and, turning off, muttered to bhimeelf and disappeared. A woman named Mrs. Gross heard the sereams and saw the drowning fmale was Spanish, Yesterday morning, Marsbal Barclay aud Capt. King took a boat and went into the Slough and dragged it, but failed to find the body. It is supposed that this foul deed was committed for revenge or jealousy. Several persons besides Mrs. Grose heard the woman screaming, but did not get out of bed. A married lady, living near by, states that she tried to get out of bed ‘to see what was tbe matter and her husband would not allow her, The fact is that that portion of the city iseomewhat dangerous in the night time and respectable people are afraid to rush out when anything uousual is going on after dark.—Marysville Demoerat, April Bit The Death or Mike Warsa —It appears by the testimony taken at the Coroner’s inquest, that the mystery of the death of Mike Walsh ie by no means cleared up. The New York Journal of Commerce says: s One witness heard the cry of ‘murder repeated three times iu the neighborhood where the remains were found, and afterwards saw two suspicious looking mean walking rapidly thro’ Seventeenth street from the Hight Avenue; while another witness residing on the premises heard a lowd crash, followed immediately afterwards by ® man’s voice. A number of witnesses who were with Walsh until ‘a Tate hour, swore that he was not so much ander the influence of liquor as not to be able to take care of himself. The verdict of the jury. expresses the opinion that violence was resorted to by some persons unknown; although it assigns appoplexy produced by @ fall as the cause of his death. Fifty passengers who came mp Py the Sonora, on ber last trip, bave libelled her for carrying more paskengers than allowed by Taw. It is stated in the Sacramento papers that Gen.

Tureen Wires Murdekep BY THe MosaTue Ginis or 1778.—The following has been reseued from a newspaper published at the time of the Revolution: The following droll affair lately ae at Kinderhook, New York. A young fellow, an enemy to the interests of America, going to a quilting frolic, where a number of young ladiee were collected, and the only man in the company began bis aspersions on Congress, as usual, and held forth some time on the subject, till the girls, exasperated by his impudence, laid hold of him, stripped bim naked to the waist. and instead of tar, covered bim with molasses, and for feathers took the downey tops of fags which grow in the meadow, and coated him well, and then let him go. He bas prosecuted every ohne of them, and the matter has been tried before Justice Shoemaker. We have not, as yet, heard bis worehip’s judgment. It is said that Parson Buel’s daughter is concerned in the affair. cisco, from s gentleman connected with Bish. op’s party, encamped on the Colérado, mentions seventeen, who were traveling from Pike’s Peak to California. On the 12th of March they were attacked by the of the Mojave river, and out of the whole varty only four were left to tell the fate of the others; one of those soon gave out,and the other three, after euffering incredible hardsbips, made their way to @ settlement on the Mojave. Their . names are W. Coleman, C. Bonyrge, and O. P. Brown. It appears that they were attacked at the edge of a wood, and most of the party shot down before resistance could be offered. The survivors immediately made for the opeo ground where they defended their lives with the greatest bravery. One young man, named Bonyrge, displayed great coolness, and covered the retreat of bis comrades by shooting down every Indian that showed himself from under cover. So terrified were the Indians by the havoc made among them, by the revolvers of the whites that they beat ao immediate retreat, offering no farther molestation to this brave little band.

By the Governor : Jobo Hartnett, . Secretary of State. In the same paper, we find the following additional intelligence : From persons, who have recently arrived from Provo, we glean the following items, The Judge adjourns his court from day to day, and in the meantime is sitting as a Committing Magistrate, ; ‘The command encamped on the Prevo river, above the City, have been moved down within three miles of Provo, 80 as to be ready for any emergency. Oue night last week, the sentinels.on duty at the guard tenta were stoned by parties hid behind the buildings. If it is repeated, we underatand that orders have been given the sentinels to fire upon their assailants. The people we further learn, in explanation of the matter, say that it was done by some unruly Indian boys—Lo! the poor Indian.” The “traveling Calaboose,” is the term the “breethren’? have applied to the soldiers on duty at Prove. It doesn’t make a ‘dif of bitterance’’ what they call them so long as they perform a daty whleb Mormon legislation bas failed to do, and that is to provide a place for the security of prisovers, [oa fact take'all the legislation bearing upon this subject into conddcresios, the non-paymeut of territorial officers, and it would almost appear that the authorities that govern this people, desired to recognize and encourage crime rather thao ubish it, and the proceedings at Provo for the ast few weeks go far to confirm this opinion, We understand that a rumor exists to a considerable extent in various parts of the Territory, that Gov, Cumming contemplated calling out the militia, embracing the Nagvoo Legion, Widely as we disagree with his Excellency in his present, policy, yet we know that his large experience and good seoge are in themselves a sufficient auswer to such rumors, Bancrort, tie Hisrontax,—The Century, closes a critique on the readings of Fanny Kemble Butler as follows ; We must acquaint our readers with an amusing incident of the evening. After the hall was well crowded, aud it was difficult, to fiod a vacant seat, an elderly gentleman of very lively aud knowing aspect, entered and walked with noticeable self-po#seasion toward the platform. He was not'a man to go unobserved. His angulir-shaped head was streaked with irou-grey, aud a pair of, light gold spectacles bestrid his nose, He deliberately unfolded @ bunch of sticks which he carried in his right hand, spread outa bet of wooded legs, planted them firmly on the floor, and rejdided ia the independent ossession, of a chair, directly in front and witha twelve feet of Mrs, Kemble’s desk. , Ther Was not & more attentive ye! in the hall than this chair’s ownér—Mr. Bancroft, the historian, Barwa 1x Tue Deap Sea.--A correspondent of the Boston Post, writir thus detcribes bis Dead Sea bath : The Dead Sea has nothing of the desolation . which it has beeo the pleasure of travelera to describe, and, it seemed to smile at the secret dread with which it iospires the pilgrim. I, of éourse, took a bath bere; and for 9 swimmer who has a fancy to his Tegs'as welt as bis head out of the watér, I ¢an imagine it must be quite pieasaut, My French friend, who is not a little inclined to corpulency, complained that he could not get down into the water, and floated ‘about, now one side up, how another, for all the world like an inflated bladder. On emerging from the water it was rapidly evaporated by the sun; and the salt crystalizing on our bodies, gave ué the appearauce of atfimated sticks of rock candy, or a family resemblance to Lot’s wife.

The boldest f the lookers-on held bie breath in suspense, as the daring man receded trom the shore.

He bad but a moment or twe been out of his house, where Mre. Howe and the children were, aud was talking with a near neighbor about the probable danger of a land slide, when the crash came. Three miners, living in a cabin next to the house of Mr, Howe, bad just fivished supper and left their cabin, when it was crushed to atoms, and they bad barely time to flee from impending death, On the Friday evening previous to this sad occurrence, there was a slide, which took away the “dump car’ of the West Point Company, and left fifty feet of their tunnel with bare timbers.

The screams appeared to proceed from the Slough near Murray’s House, at the head of Second strect. It was evident that a woman was being drowned and that ehe was calling for belp. A man was seen standing on the bank about that time, and, turning off, muttered to bhimeelf and disappeared. A woman named Mrs. Gross heard the sereams and saw the drowning fmale was Spanish, Yesterday morning, Marsbal Barclay aud Capt.

The New York Journal of Commerce says: s One witness heard the cry of ‘murder repeated three times iu the neighborhood where the remains were found, and afterwards saw two suspicious looking mean walking rapidly thro’ Seventeenth street from the Hight Avenue; while another witness residing on the premises heard a lowd crash, followed immediately afterwards by ® man’s voice. A number of witnesses who were with Walsh until ‘a Tate hour, swore that he was not so much ander the influence of liquor as not to be able to take care of himself. The verdict of the jury. expresses the opinion that violence was resorted to by some persons unknown; although it assigns appoplexy produced by @ fall as the cause of his death.

A young fellow, an enemy to the interests of America, going to a quilting frolic, where a number of young ladiee were collected, and the only man in the company began bis aspersions on Congress, as usual, and held forth some time on the subject, till the girls, exasperated by his impudence, laid hold of him, stripped bim naked to the waist. and instead of tar, covered bim with molasses, and for feathers took the downey tops of fags which grow in the meadow, and coated him well, and then let him go. He bas prosecuted every ohne of them, and the matter has been tried before Justice Shoemaker. We have not, as yet, heard bis worehip’s judgment. It is said that Parson Buel’s daughter is concerned in the affair. cisco, from s gentleman connected with Bish. op’s party, encamped on the Colérado, mentions seventeen, who were traveling from Pike’s Peak to California. On the 12th of March they were attacked by the of the Mojave river, and out of the whole varty only four were left to tell the fate of the others; one of those soon gave out,and the other three, after euffering incredible hardsbips, made their way to @ settlement on the Mojave. Their . names are W. Coleman, C. Bonyrge, and O. P. Brown. It appears that they were attacked at the edge of a wood, and most of the party shot down before resistance could be offered. The survivors immediately made for the opeo ground where they defended their lives with the greatest bravery. One young man, named Bonyrge, displayed great coolness, and covered the retreat of bis comrades by shooting down every Indian that showed himself from under cover. So terrified were the Indians by the havoc made among them, by the revolvers of the whites that they beat ao immediate retreat, offering no farther molestation to this brave little band.

In the same paper, we find the following additional intelligence : From persons, who have recently arrived from Provo, we glean the following items, The Judge adjourns his court from day to day, and in the meantime is sitting as a Committing Magistrate, ; ‘The command encamped on the Prevo river, above the City, have been moved down within three miles of Provo, 80 as to be ready for any emergency. Oue night last week, the sentinels.on duty at the guard tenta were stoned by parties hid behind the buildings. If it is repeated, we underatand that orders have been given the sentinels to fire upon their assailants. The people we further learn, in explanation of the matter, say that it was done by some unruly Indian boys—Lo! the poor Indian.” The “traveling Calaboose,” is the term the “breethren’? have applied to the soldiers on duty at Prove.

After the hall was well crowded, aud it was difficult, to fiod a vacant seat, an elderly gentleman of very lively aud knowing aspect, entered and walked with noticeable self-po#seasion toward the platform. He was not'a man to go unobserved. His angulir-shaped head was streaked with irou-grey, aud a pair of, light gold spectacles bestrid his nose, He deliberately unfolded @ bunch of sticks which he carried in his right hand, spread outa bet of wooded legs, planted them firmly on the floor, and rejdided ia the independent ossession, of a chair, directly in front and witha twelve feet of Mrs, Kemble’s desk. , Ther Was not & more attentive ye! in the hall than this chair’s ownér—Mr. Bancroft, the historian, Barwa 1x Tue Deap Sea.--A correspondent of the Boston Post, writir thus detcribes bis Dead Sea bath : The Dead Sea has nothing of the desolation . which it has beeo the pleasure of travelera to describe, and, it seemed to smile at the secret dread with which it iospires the pilgrim. I, of éourse, took a bath bere; and for 9 swimmer who has a fancy to his Tegs'as welt as bis head out of the watér, I ¢an imagine it must be quite pieasaut, My French friend, who is not a little inclined to corpulency, complained that he could not get down into the water, and floated ‘about, now one side up, how another, for all the world like an inflated bladder. On emerging from the water it was rapidly evaporated by the sun; and the salt crystalizing on our bodies, gave ué the appearauce of atfimated sticks of rock candy, or a family resemblance to Lot’s wife. With a sensation upoa our skia as if we had been pickled for familyuse, and with @ taste in our month compounded of Glauber salts and assafetida, we concluded that one bath in the Dead Sea. wasenough for a life-time.
