MEETING OF THE DISORGANIZERS.—Under
this heading, the San Francisco Call has the
following :
There has lately been held in Sacramento a
meeting of secession bdim, mere from all
arts of the State. In numbers they were few,
But for this, they made up in the enthusiasm
manifested and unpractical ideas promulgated.
We have not heard what the select band of
‘Matriots” concluded to do at present, but from
hints they have Soy we expect to see an attempt made soon after the Opening of the Legislature to bring the Pacifie Republic humbug
on the carpet, As the plotters show their
hands the people will take care of them.
ASrnevutar Svuicipr.—John Savage, an
Irishman, committed suicide at Georgetown on
the 17th instant, The Central Californian says
that he tied both of his feet together, passed the
rope up to his left hand, which he also tied, and
again passed the same rope up to his head, and
secured the end firmly to a separate slip-noose
which encircled his neck. The end of the slipnoose was thrown over and made fast to a joice
overhead, and was thoroughly greased, so as to
prevent any possibility of his getting free by an
after struggle. He had mounted astool, which
he shoved aside with his feet, and with his limbs
bound, except his right arm alone, he secured
the death he so much coveted.
Wasninaton Territory.—A letter from
Olympia, the capital, speaking of the Legislature of that Territory, says:
“In the House, the Republicans will hold the
balance of power, but the Douglas wing have a
plurality. It is reported that leading Republicans here are exceedingly busy in farming out
the various offices in the gift of President Lincoln, Strange to say, some Federal office hold. ers hereabouts have very recently become convinced that Lincoln will make a very good President, and that his yiews on national questions
are decidedly conservative.”
From Arizona.—We learn from the Mesilla Times of the 6th instant, that two companies of regular troops were daily expected at
Fort Fillmore, where they will be stationed for
the winter. Itis the intention of miners, to
thoroughly prospect the San Francisco river in
the spring. A party is also talking of prospecting the Navajo country. A party of thirty
men, well armed, were about starting for the
Burro Mountains, to chastise Apaches for the
depredations they have lately committed in the
vicinity.
Suot.—On Sunday, in the vicinity of Sutter’s Fort, J. R. Evans of Sacramento City, was
shot by A. Keefer, near the residence of the
latter. It appears that one Wilson who was
with Evans in a buggy, shot at Keefer’s dog,
whereupon, Keefer came out of his house with
a shot gun which he discharged at them as they
were leaving, one of the buck shot entering
Evans’ back and lodging inthe chest. It is
not certain that he will recover. Keefer was
arrested.
Loss or A Sw1r.—Advices from the Sandwich Islands, state that the whale ship Paulina
was lost at Lahaina in a gale, on the 15th ult.
She was lying with both enchors down, but
drifted. Her masts were cut away, but she
soon struck, She is a complete wreck. She
was from New Bedford, and had on board some
and had has been fitting for the fourth season
and would have left in a few days for the coast
of California,
BuRNING or A Surp.—The ship Siam was
partially burned while lying at the steamboat
wharf at Honolulu, on the night of the 21st ult.
The fire continued all night, and was not subdued until 8 o’clock a. Mm. The damage done
to the ship’s cabin and after hold is very considerable ; beams, earlines, neoging knees, ceiling and furniture, being greatly injured, and!
most all the sails in the store-room destroyed
or spoiled.
A New Map or Cairornia—It is said
that a proposition is on foot to get upa new
map of the State of California on a large scale,
and it is desired that the Legislature shall make
an appropriation in aid of it. The proposition is a good one, though it may be questioned
whether the Legislature should go further in
relation to it than to give it an official characfor State purposes.
Tue Bropenick Monument.—We under.
decided to commence building the monument
to the late Senator Broderick early in the coming year, and to make the structure conform to
the amount of funds already raised, instead of
commencing on a larger plan, and leaving the
completion of the work to further public spirit.
A Determined Youru.—The Jackson Dispatch speaks ofa young gentleman in that .
county who has determined to start next Friday, and “travel all over Amador county, and
all over out of it,” and keep traveling till he
certainly corral the determined youth before he
Rumor or Mvurper.—lIt is reported at
Downieville that John W. Tyler, late Associate .
. Justice in the Sierra Court of Sessions, with
two others, whose names are not given, have
been found on the road between Esmeralda and
Virginia with their throats cut.
Tue Brnicta Boy EaGer ror ANOTHER
Ficut.—We have it from pretty good authority, says
the New York Clipper, that John C, Heenan, the gallant son of Benicia, would have no objections what
ever toa pontge at arma with the conqueror of
Paidock, in the late fight for the championship o!
fa ry and now universally known as the ‘Sta
leybridge Infant,” providing he could be assured of
an even show on Britain’s shores, He wouid prefer
however, to have the battle take place in America,
and give Hurst $1,000 to come here, if the stakes
were placed as high as $5,000a side, This offer
must strike the reader as being at once liberal and
indicative of great determination and reliance on hia
own powers, and as eminently characteristic of the
man, That Hurst could be preyailed on to como
here ia, we think, rather doubtful as, if the battle
were fought here, it would not be for the championship of England; therefore, he would be liable, nay,
very likely, to be challenged for that honor during
his absence, which would make rather quick work
for him. If, however, he could be induced to throw
aside his aspirations in that direction, and cross tho
Atlantic to do battle with our gallant champion,
Heenan, we feel satisfied that he would get a “fair
show,” or at least we think a referee might be found
who would nut be so anxious to exercise his locomotive powers in such a hurry as the one at Farn
borough, On the other hand, should Heenan conclude to again brave the lion in his den, if he were
assured a responsible parties of justice being done
him—which, judging from the past, seems some:
what doubtful—we would strongly advise him to
look well to his rights, and to see to it that the
stake holder and referee be men of probity and re
liability, and who would be sure to do fastiee between man and man, However, the matter is av
yet merely in a state of embryo, which time and
circumstances will doubtless develop satisfactorily.
Tue Overtanp Mari Company UsrorTUNATE.—The Overland MailCompany {8 unfortunate,
About eighteen months ago it was robbed by a Dep.
uty Division Superintendent, near El Paso, and then
by a clerk in the New York office, and now, again,
by a clerk in the same office. It appears by a dis
patch, dated the 28th, that one Erastus R Roberts
was arrested at Fishkill, New York, on the day previous, charged with robbing the Company of $4,000.
As if direct robbery was not enough we have the
news of far worse disasters than that, by the arrival
of the stage which left San Francisco + fg 9th, at
Fort Smith on the 28th. A dispatch says, that by
this arrival, the passengers stated that two men, formerly of St. Louis, named Alfred Paringot and Samuel McNeal, employees of the Overland Tai Compesy,
were scalped by the Comanchee Indians fire milex
east of the Riley Station, on the 22d inst. No inter
ruption, however, happened to the Overland Stage or
its passengers, We are wholly without the particulars of this affair, but it goes far to confirm the general impression that the drouth of the Season,
in Texas and New Mexico, will drive the Indians in
that region to many acts of deaperation which other.
wise they would not commit. It is some consolation
to know that preparations have been made to avert
the danger, as much ag possible by arming the employees and supplying them with ‘an abundance ot
amunition,—(St. Louis letter.
New Brerp or Sauxp.—A report
been made to the Society of Aeclimation ely
in London, of a new breed of sheep, or at least ani
mals resembling sheep, except in i. found in coun
tries adjacent to the Punjaub. These animals are
called Purik Sheep, and are the most diminutive of
the ovis family, the full grown ones being not larger
than lambs oi a few weeks old. The Purik Sheep
has small bones, a fleshy earcase, and the mutton ix
excellent, and yields three pounds a year of very fine
wool, The ewes generally give two lambs a year.
The great advantage of this over other breeds is its
domestic en orth around the cottages as quict
as a house dog, and feed upon all sorts of waste
garbage, seraps of fruit, vegetables, crumbs of bread,
shreds that are frequently wasted, eating them from
the hands of any one who offers. It is thought that
the Purik Sheep would be suited to the elimate of
England, and exactly adapted to the wanta of mani
cottagers, If so, it would also suit many in this
country. It would bea great object to get an animal to consume the kitchen garba, e, less objection
able than the hog, and the flesh of whieh would af.
ford @ more wholesome food to common people, too
many of whom live, go far as meat is concerned
almost exclusively upon pork. ‘
———
Pen Portrait or A. H. StepHens.—A
writer in the Philadelphia Press thus describes
Alexander H. Stephens of Georgia; As he rises, you
see a form rather under the middle height, spare
and delicate to the Inst degree ; a face that at a
distance is almost boyish, it is so emall, and the
muscles are so shrunken. When the spectator is
closer he sees the marks of age and illness upon it,
for Stephens has been an inyalid from hia infancy ;
but at the same time that he sees this he catches
the bright light of his eye, and finds a countenance
radiant with intellect. The first impression of his
voice is not pleasant, as it is pitched to a high key,
and is rather shrill, but strong. This impression
soon wears off, and the hearer gets to like it; but
long before he is conscious of this be is carried awa y
in admiration of the speaker’s elear and us
style and great intellectual power. Stephens is a!ways earnest, bis bearing dignified, his language
addressed directly to the argument, and%his point«
are of the most telling character. From this desesiption the reader may gather some idea of Stephens in
personal appearance, and of his style and ability as
an orator,
