The four charged ou the robbers, fired their guns, and Barton his pistols, and then fought with them clubbed. One of the robbers was heard to say to Barton: “G—d d—n you, . have got you now.’ To which Barton replied: “IT reckon Ihave got you, too.’ Their guns were being leveled at each other during the remark, the discharge was simultaneous, but Barton fell, shot through the heart. Our informant states, that three of the robbers fell on the first discharge. Daley, who was inounted on a mule, was cut from his party in the charge to assist Baker and Little, was run for about three miles, and then overtaken and murdered. Hardy, seeing Barton fall, called to Alexander, stating also that he had lost his pistol. There being only two left, and Hardy practically without arms, they broke and run for their lives. and effected their escape, owing to the fleetness of their horses, The robbers pursued them for twelve miles, they came in sight of Sepulveda’s house. For the first 400 yards of the chase, the balls whistled thick aud fast around the fugitives, making the dust on the road fly up before and around them.

A Forcer Coxvicrep.—The trial of Huntington, which occupied the Court of Sessions for a period of thirteen days, was brought to a conclusion on Tuesday by the jnry rendering a verdict of guilty, and Judge Capron sentenced the culprit to four years and ten months confinement in Sing Sing prison, the longest term allowed by law. Huntington maintained his self-possession to the lust. Following close upon the incarceration of the forger Huntington, the telegraph informs us of the conviction on Saturday, in Boston, of Wm. S. Tuckerman, the defaulting Treasurer of the Eastern Railroad Company of Massachusetts, whose aggregate peculationa are believed to drink of water, and while there several shots . have reached the sum of $180,000. were fired in the rear, supposed to be when the robbers bad given up the chase and turned back. At the time of the attack, there was another party on the left hand hill, but they did not come down. Mr. Alexander stopped at the Monte to inform the citizens, and Mr. Hardy came on to town with the intelligence. On the arrival of Hardy, the news instantly spread over the town, and the most intense excitement prevailed throughout the community. It was at once resolved to arm and equip a party, to go out in pursuit of the robbers and exterminate them, and within two hours, about forty men, well armed and mouated, started oft in the good cause. On Saturday morning, another party, about fourteen in number on horseback and in carriages, started out to recover the dead bodies of the murdered men, taking with them four coffins in wagons. The bodies of the murdered men were found and brought to Los Angeles, and were buried on Monday, being followed to their graves by almost the entire population. The party that went in search of the robbers were unsuccessful, and on Tuesday night returned to Los Angeles, One of the party, Mr Buckner of the Monte, while drawing his gun towards him, incautiously caught it by the muzzle, when it exploded and the contents were lodged in the unfortunate man’s breast, causing instant death.

The four charged ou the robbers, fired their guns, and Barton his pistols, and then fought with them clubbed. One of the robbers was heard to say to Barton: “G—d d—n you, . have got you now.’ To which Barton replied: “IT reckon Ihave got you, too.’ Their guns were being leveled at each other during the remark, the discharge was simultaneous, but Barton fell, shot through the heart. Our informant states, that three of the robbers fell on the first discharge. Daley, who was inounted on a mule, was cut from his party in the charge to assist Baker and Little, was run for about three miles, and then overtaken and murdered. Hardy, seeing Barton fall, called to Alexander, stating also that he had lost his pistol. There being only two left, and Hardy practically without arms, they broke and run for their lives. and effected their escape, owing to the fleetness of their horses, The robbers pursued them for twelve miles, they came in sight of Sepulveda’s house. For the first 400 yards of the chase, the balls whistled thick aud fast around the fugitives, making the dust on the road fly up before and around them.

A Forcer Coxvicrep.—The trial of Huntington, which occupied the Court of Sessions for a period of thirteen days, was brought to a conclusion on Tuesday by the jnry rendering a verdict of guilty, and Judge Capron sentenced the culprit to four years and ten months confinement in Sing Sing prison, the longest term allowed by law. Huntington maintained his self-possession to the lust. Following close upon the incarceration of the forger Huntington, the telegraph informs us of the conviction on Saturday, in Boston, of Wm. S. Tuckerman, the defaulting Treasurer of the Eastern Railroad Company of Massachusetts, whose aggregate peculationa are believed to drink of water, and while there several shots . have reached the sum of $180,000. were fired in the rear, supposed to be when the robbers bad given up the chase and turned back. At the time of the attack, there was another party on the left hand hill, but they did not come down. Mr. Alexander stopped at the Monte to inform the citizens, and Mr. Hardy came on to town with the intelligence. On the arrival of Hardy, the news instantly spread over the town, and the most intense excitement prevailed throughout the community. It was at once resolved to arm and equip a party, to go out in pursuit of the robbers and exterminate them, and within two hours, about forty men, well armed and mouated, started oft in the good cause. On Saturday morning, another party, about fourteen in number on horseback and in carriages, started out to recover the dead bodies of the murdered men, taking with them four coffins in wagons. The bodies of the murdered men were found and brought to Los Angeles, and were buried on Monday, being followed to their graves by almost the entire population. The party that went in search of the robbers were unsuccessful, and on Tuesday night returned to Los Angeles, One of the party, Mr Buckner of the Monte, while drawing his gun towards him, incautiously caught it by the muzzle, when it exploded and the contents were lodged in the unfortunate man’s breast, causing instant death.
