Of the total consumption of sugar in this country, it is estimated that forty per cent. is the product of the Louisiana plantations. The capital invested in these plantatiuns is probably not less than $30,000,000, and may considerably exceed that figure, the whole of whieh will become worthless if the duty on sugar is repealed, as it certainly will be if Louisiana persists in its course of seceseion. Thedaty of twenty-four per cent. keeps the price of sugar up one-foarth more than it Would be ifit was ndmittea free, and at the same time produces but a small revenue, asa large portion of the sugar A Reminiscence—Case of Berduc. A writer in the last namber of the San Jian Press, gives a lengthy account of the trial apd @onvictiog of Berdae, at Marys ville, in the gummer of 1851, for the murder of man named Moore. It was one of the most extraordinary cases of mistaken identity on record. The real marderer was one Jim Stewart, who in some respects bore a striking resemblance to Berdue, which led to the arrest of the latter at San Francisco, for an assault with intent to murder —a crime committed by Stewart, He was fully identified as Stewart, and under that name was convicted and sentenced to fourteen years imprisonment, and then sent to Marysville tobe tried for the murder of Moore. There was no question that Stewart bad mardered Moore, and on the trial the whole effort of the prosecution was to identify the prisoner as Stewart, while the defense endeavored to convince the jury that be was not the person, A large number of witnesses were summoned from Foster’s Bar, where the murder was committed, nearly allof whom swore potitively that the prisoner was Stewart, while five or six swore that he was not the man. The jury, bowever, brought in a verdict of guilty, and the prisoner was remanded to the custody of the Sheriff, to await his sentence, A few days after his conviction, the real murderer, Stewart, was arrestedin Sao consumed is prodoced in the country.

Fuston Caucus.—An adjourned meeting of tae Breckioridge-Douglas cancus was held in the Assembly Chamber last Tuesday evening, Forty-four members of the Legivlature were present, bat from the reported proceedings it woald appear that they have made but little progress in the business of fusion. They propose to unite on the Crittenden Compromise as a platform ; but unless the ameodment proposed by Crittenden should be adopted by two-thirds of both branches of Congress, the question of ratifying or rejecting the proposed compromise will not come before the people of the State. In that case the fusionists will be put to thelr tramps for a platform. Mr. Miller was the only member of the Nevada delegation that took part in the fusion cancus. Fort Sumren Rernrorcen,—From information received by the last Pony, there is some reason to believe that Fort Sumter has been secretly reinforced. The Charleston papers hint that such may have been the case, Soon after the firing into the Star of the West, the Brooklyn was dispatched from Norfolk, with troops and ammunition oa board, supposed to be destined for the Florida forts. A day or two after a war vessel was seen off Charleston harbor, and itis now thought that two companies of artillery were secretly landed at Fort Sumter during two dark nights, in boats with muffled oars. The practicability of reinforeing the fort in the manner suggested is admitted, Over Dvux.—-The Panama steamer, with . ing attorney, He was then taken to San Francisco, and in a similar manner released of the charge for which he had been convicted in that city. During bis incarceration and trials, Berdue, as may well be imagined, suffered the most intense agony. Soon after his arrest at San Francisco, the crime with which he was charged was of such an aggravated character, that an attempt was made by the Vigilance Committee to rescue him from the authorities and hang him at onee. His prison was surrounded for many hours by an infuriated populace, clamoring for bis life, and itis said that his agony of mind was so great that he lost thirty pounds of flesh in twenty-four hours, The excitement in Marysville was nearly as great; and it is probable that his conviction ia both places was owing, ina great measure, to threats of mob, and the prejudice against the real criminal, ——— ee ee Convicrep.— William “Tierney, who attempted to shoot John Cassidy, some weeks ago, at Sacramento, was tried before the Court of Sessions of that county, on Monday and Tuesday last, and’convicted of an asswult with intent to murder. The alleged cause for the shooting was an improper intimacy bntween Caesidy and Tierney’s wife, and from the evidence it appears that Cassidy bad drugged the woman in order to accomplish his purpose, Tieroey isa poor man and has no friends, which probably accounts tor his conviction.

There is a fine road from Mokelumne City and Woodbridge to a portion of the mines at all seasons. It is thought that the construction of the canal will be a cheaper process than the removal of the obstructions in a portion of the Mokelumne.
