Investication.—We noticed last week thata man named Weed, reporter for the S. F. Times, had been expelled from the reporter’s deat, by a vote of the Assembly, for having made charges against Dr. Ormsby of an attempt to levy black-mail upon the auctioneers of San Francisco, and that a Committee had been appointed to investigate the charges. The committee reported that not a scintilla of evidence was found derogatory to the integrity of Dr. Ormsby, or any member of the special committee appointed to visit Sam Franoisco to ascertain the amount due the State of the unpaid duties of the auetioneers. A motion was made that the report and evidence be printed; to this motion Dr. Ormsby himself objected, and it was voted down. As might be expected, the opposition of Dr. Ormsby to having the evidenee printed, tended only to fasten suspicion upon him, and a motion was subsequently carried to furnish the evidence to the editor of the State Journal for publication. The evidence taken before the committee was published in Monday’s Journal. It seems from this evidence that Dr. Ormsby, the ebairman of the Assembly committee, was on very intimate terms with one Raphael Schoyer, who furnished the committee with information in regard to the amount due from the auctioneers to the State. Several of the auctioneers testified that Schoyer offered to write out the report, subject to their approval, provided they would pay him $2,000. The auctioneers, however, refused to give a dollar, and the result was that two reports were made by the committee, one signed by Dr. Ormsby, which was particularly bitter against the auctioneers, and the other signed by Messrs, Hill, of Nevada, and J. W. Cherry, the other members. There is no direct evidence to implicate Dr. Ormeby in the attempt to levy blackmail; but from the offer of Schoyer, and the known intimacy existing between him and Ormeby, the auetioncers certainly had good reason to believe that the latter was ready to make a favorable report provided a sufficient inducement was held out. Dr. Ormsby may be innocent of the charge made against him, but he certainly had the misfortune to get into bad company. A Buioopy Arrray occurred in San Francisco, last Friday night. J. W. Walsh, editor of the Sunday Varieties, attempted to shoot a man named McQuade, but missed hisaim. A fight then ensued, in which Walsh and a friend, took one side, and McQuade anda man named McCann took the other. Walsh’s companion was soon placed hors du combat, when McCann and MeQuade united upon Walsh. They succeeded in getting possession of Walsh’s pistol and beat him over the head and face with it. Walsh and his friend came to the police station covered with blood and wounds, His face and hands were frightfully lacerated. The others were brought in by the police. McCann’s head was beaten to a jelly. MeQuade also received some severe cuts onthe head, and his hands were badly cut. Walsh, however, it seems from all accounts, got the worst of the fight, having the odds against him. Useitxss Lasor.—A fellow named George Lovering was sentenced some time age to serve a year in the Auburn jail, for having in his possession burglarious tools. A few days since, says the Herald, the jailor ascertained that Lovering bad, by some means, procured a small crowbar and saw, and had been se far accommodating as to saw the shackles from one of the prisoners who is awaiting trial under an indictment for murder. For his ingenuity and industry Lovering, who was before unshackled, has been put in irous, and closely confined to his cell where a wholesome restraint, in future, will Le exercised upon his free disposition to work, Suockinc Case or Insanity.—On Tuesday, March 23d, Officer Nesbitt of Greenwood Valley, El Dorado county, brought before Judge Johnson @ crazy man by the name of Benj. Gass, who resided at Georgetown. The unfortunate man in one of his fits of madness, had nearly severed one of his bands from the arm with an iron instrument which he had made very sharp by rubbing on the rocks. The Judge sent the poor fellow to the Steckton Asylum. Steamer Expecrep.—The steamer J. L. Stephens, with dates from New York to the Sth inst., is now over due. The telegraph wires between here and Sacramento, have been broken down by the storm, znd we shall probably not learn of the arrival until the news is received in the Sacramento papers, To pe Executrep —Three Chinamen, the murderers of M. V. B. Griswold, and a white man, are to be executed near Jackson, Amador co., ou the 16thof April. The gallows has been erected about a mile from the town. Rosseriss.—The Washington Hotel on Mill street, was robbed on Tuesday night of last week. Que of the ledgers lost $20 in coin aud a breast pin worth $20. Another lost a tea dollar gold piece and some small chauge. The money and valuables were taken from their clothing in their rooms. The thief is supposed to have been a felluw who came along and solicited free lodgings, representing himself as outof money. Mr. Blackford gave him a bed. He probably got up in the night, committed the robbery, and took the plunder outside, and concealed it, as the outer door to which he might easily had accees was unlocked. The Aurora House was broken into on Thursday night last, and every room iu the house not locked, was entered. The robber stole a Colt’s revolver (No. 89,569) froma Mr. William Nute, anda teu dollar gold piece from his room-mate. Ten dollars, some silver, and a small specimen, were also taken from the pantaloons of Mr. Savage. Several other inmates lost small sums, In several cases clothes were taken from under the pillows of the sleeping inmates, rifled of their valuables and thrown upon the floor. A suitable reward will be paid for the return of the pistol, which, it is hoped, may lead to the detection of the robber.—G@, V. Telegraph. Desasep Cow.—A number of depreciated double eagles are in circulation, according to the S. F. Bulletin. They have been sawed into edge wise, filled with base metal, and then the rims worked over in such a manner as to make detection difficult, except by weighing or particular examination. This method of debasing coin is not new, and money debased in this way bas been circulating for a long time. As it is, however, thus brought to notice, persons will probably be more cautious than heretofore in receivingcoin. The depreciation, in some cases is very great, and the cein so light as to be easily detected. “Paddy Shields” is the courteous title which the R chmond South gives Gen. Shields, one of the Senators from Minnesota, because he sides with Douglas. Omega Correspondence. Prospect of the Admission of Kansas. Omega, March 28th, 1858.

The boys are clever and deservedly popular. Our town like all other California towns is cursed with a few of the sporting gentry; also a house of unquestionably bad repute, where dancing and singing is kept up until a late hour almos; every night to the annoyance of families living in the vicinity. I shall take oceasion to speak . more fully concerning this huuse and its inmates in my next. Yours in haste, RESIDENTER. © som at Sea.—The Mexican brig Cornelia, bound from Mazatlan to San Fraucisco, on the night of Feb. 16th, sprung a leak, and sunk in lat. 30°, long. 122°. Her cargo consisted of salt, lumber and $50,000 in silver, which was a total loss. The Los Angeles correspondent of the Alta, gives the following particulars of the disaster : Her captain was awakened at night by the watch, with the cry—“The brig is sinking, sir.’’ He jumped aft and found that the copper sheathing had been knocked off, aud thata whole seam was open, through which the briny floods poured with such a force that in balf an . hour the brig made eighteen inches, in spite of all their efforts. When be found she must sink, he transferred his papers, some provisions, and a sail to the ship’s boat, and steered northeast for the nearest land, which they reached in four days and a balf, at San Quentin, having sailed in their open boat 370 miles. At San Quentin, which is 450 miles below San Diego, the captain exchanged his boat for the use of three poor animals that had been kept for packing salt, and with them pushed on for white settlements, He was nine days reaching San Diego. There was English insurance on the vessel and silver. which belonged to four parties, all English.— The salt was sold to arrive in San Francisco. This, with the lumber, will be a total loss. Ssootixe Arrarr.—A correspondent of the Calaveras Chronicle gives the following account of a shooting affair, which occurred at Rich Gulch, Calaveras county, on Wednesday, the 24th inst: The difficulty occurred about a miuing claim, between J. Gerolemy and one White. It appears that White sunk a shaft about a year ago and abandoned it. Gerolemy went on the ground a short time since, and sunk another shaft, and struck a good pruspect. White hearing of it, claimed the ground, and threatened to strike Gerolemy with a pick handle; this not intimidating Mr. G., White presented a revolver; but G. was too quick for him, he also had arevolver and shot White, breaking his jawbone to pieces, Gerolemy is said to be a quiet, peaceable man, but possessing resolution sufficient to defend and protect bis own rights. — White is the same man who, in 1853, struck Judge Eno witha pick handle, for which he served the State two years in the Penitentiary, Gerolemy immediately gave himselfup toa peace officer. IxnptrAN Retripution.—About a month since, says the Placerville Jndex, we reported the trial of two men before the Court of Sessions, who werg arraigned for stealing flour from Mr. Weatherwax, at El Dorado City. The defendants asserted that they had purchased the flour from the Indians, After examination, the men were discharged, and everybody supposed that the Indians were the guilty parties. One day . last week, one of these same men was found hanging by the neck to a tree in Hungry Hollow, and from appearances had been in that condition for a week or more. The supposition in, that he was hung by the Indians in revenge for a charge of theft which he had made against them. Quartz.—As an evidence of the present activity of quartz enterprises, says the Union, we may mention that the machinery of no less than three quartz mills is in process of construction, at the Union Foundry, of eight stamps each. One, to be driven by water power, is to he located on the Mokelumne river, near West Point. Another is to be crected near Eureka, Nevada county, and the third on Sutter Creek, Nevada county. The last will be worked by steam. An engine of thirty-five horse power is being constructed at the foundry, to be used in connection with the stamps designed for the Eureka mills. Porsonep Carps.—An interesting little danghter of Mr. A. ©. Russell, editor of the San Joaquin Republican, was nearly poisoned to death by putting an enameled card in ber mouth on Wednesday evening. Her little brother had called on some of the neighbors and returned with a visiting card, which he handed to bis sister, who moistened it with her lips and swallowed some of the enamel, which is composed of arsenic and other deleterious substances.— Prompt medical assistance preserved the little girl’s life. InpicreD FoR PeRJury.—The gran jury of San Francisco have indicted John Jones for perjury, in swearing before the Board of Equalization that his property was not worth $5,000, which was proved to be worth $10,000, and was asseseed at $20,000; and Joseph J Gray for sweariug that his ees was worth but $2,500, when it was worth mach more, and had been assessed at $40,000. A Numerous Progsny.—Dona Josefa Sanchez de Bernal, aged ninety-seven years. died at San Jose on the 18th of March. She was among the first of the white Spanish race that settled in that portion of California, where she was married and raised bud family. Her decendants at this day, says the San Jose Telegraph, number about treo hundred. letter is dated Feb. 18th, says: Whatever ground there was a few days since for the Lecemptonites to believe that they could pass through the House the contrivance which they support, it has now slipped away from them, for at this moment it is obvious to the most careless observer of transpiring events that Lecompton must soon meet a blow mere terrible than that. only one week ago, in the resolution which ordered inquiry into its wickedness and oppressiov. Men from the*South, and from the far Southern States, will vete against it. They admit and learn that they have hesitated too long, but that their decision and their votes will make up in what they may have before failed todo. Withstrength gained by those who support the great principle of the Kansas-Nebraska act, not only in the North, but in the Sonth, since the test on Harris’s resolution, and the promising signs for the future, it is net an extravagant surmise that cre another week rolls by, the votes against Lecompton will reach two thirds of the members of the House. The Lecomptonites cannot disguise this fact ; they published it by a postponement of their caucus which was to have met last night, and by the adjournment of the investigation committee. All idea of rushing things throngh with a high band is reluctantly given up for want of power to effect their purpose, and it may be that the endeavor hereafter will be to save the Constitution from a sudden and deserved annibilation. Later FRoM THE SournerN Coast.—The steamer Senator arrived at the Bay last Friday, from San Pedro, briuging later dates from the southern coast. The Los Angeles Star bas an account of an atrocious murder committed at San Bernardino upon @ young and favorite Indian, by a man named Heath. It appears that a difficulty had . eccurred between the two during the day, and that Heath, watching his opportunity, approached the Indian, whilst asleep by the side of his wife, “and shot him through the breast. The unfortunate man died instantly. Heath attempted to escape; but was arrested, and will be made to answer for bis crime. The detachment of troops that left San Pedro on the 9th ult., for Fort Yuma, arrived at that post on the 27th, baviug had a pleasant time all the way through. The Star says the road was found to be an excellent ene, and is believed by the officers of the army to be superior to the route via San Diego. Grass, water and wood are to be found in abundance, all along . the route, until its intersection with the San Diego road; the worst road occurring after passing that point. The command did not suffer in the least for the want of either grasa for the animals, or water and fael for themselves. The officers are of the opinion that this is by far the most desirable ronte by land from San Francisco to Fort Yuma. The Star has a letter from Salt Lake City, dated Jan. 30, from which we take the following :—*‘Clothing or groceries of any kind are . not to be obtaiued here, as no goeds have come in this fall. The soldiers are encamped at Fert . Bridger. There is plenty of goods there, but all our merchants have deeamped, and we do not wish to have any more Gentiles about us, though we need their govds. Home manufac. . ture is gonc into frem necessity, and in time . we shall have a supply from this souree, whieh would have been better for allifithad been) commenced sooner.”’ Tae Consequences.— The Washington (D. C.) States, bas been permitted to examine a private letter from a distinguished Democrat in Kansas to a Member of Congress from Pennsylvania. The letter states that the Lecompton Coustitution was conceved in fraud, and nurtured and matured in iniquity; and that the United States . Army, multiplied by ten, cannot put itin operation in Kansas. The writer says he has always been a democrat, and through all the troubles in Kansas has admonished the people to submit to the laws and seek their remedy at the ballot bex ; that things seem quiet now, but that it is the calm that precedes the mighty storm ; that the Territory, at present, is but a} slumbering volcano, which will burst forth the moment Congress adopts the Constitution, Gen. Haske. Crazy AGain.—The correepondent of the Louisville Courier says that Gen. Wm. T. Haskell, of Tennessee, has again beeome deranged, and is now confined in the lunatic asy. Jum at Hopkinsville, It will be recollected that . Gen. Haskell was receutly dismissed from the asylum at Lexington, cured. Fata Minin Accipent.—Two miners, named Joseph Headley aud Joel Doyle, were instantly killed, near Scott Flat, Sierra county, on the 16th of March. by tha caving of a bank. Headly was about 36 years old, and resided formerly in Indiana. Doyle was from Bangor, Maine, and was about 45 years of age. Goop Dicaines.—At Louisburg, about one mile from this town, several miners bave lately been making very good wages. One man took out, last week, with a rocker, from $10. to $17 daily. The water for washing was procured from a well.—Mariposa Democrat. Tae Sovruern Vineyarp.—This is the title of anew paper just established at Los Angeles by J.J. Warner. It eschews politics and promises to devote itself to the furtherance of the particular interests of Los Angeles county. EXCHANGES.—Geo.

Investication.—We noticed last week thata man named Weed, reporter for the S. F. Times, had been expelled from the reporter’s deat, by a vote of the Assembly, for having made charges against Dr. Ormsby of an attempt to levy black-mail upon the auctioneers of San Francisco, and that a Committee had been appointed to investigate the charges. The committee reported that not a scintilla of evidence was found derogatory to the integrity of Dr. Ormsby, or any member of the special committee appointed to visit Sam Franoisco to ascertain the amount due the State of the unpaid duties of the auetioneers. A motion was made that the report and evidence be printed; to this motion Dr. Ormsby himself objected, and it was voted down. As might be expected, the opposition of Dr. Ormsby to having the evidenee printed, tended only to fasten suspicion upon him, and a motion was subsequently carried to furnish the evidence to the editor of the State Journal for publication. The evidence taken before the committee was published in Monday’s Journal. It seems from this evidence that Dr. Ormsby, the ebairman of the Assembly committee, was on very intimate terms with one Raphael Schoyer, who furnished the committee with information in regard to the amount due from the auctioneers to the State. Several of the auctioneers testified that Schoyer offered to write out the report, subject to their approval, provided they would pay him $2,000. The auctioneers, however, refused to give a dollar, and the result was that two reports were made by the committee, one signed by Dr. Ormsby, which was particularly bitter against the auctioneers, and the other signed by Messrs, Hill, of Nevada, and J. W. Cherry, the other members. There is no direct evidence to implicate Dr. Ormeby in the attempt to levy blackmail; but from the offer of Schoyer, and the known intimacy existing between him and Ormeby, the auetioncers certainly had good reason to believe that the latter was ready to make a favorable report provided a sufficient inducement was held out. Dr. Ormsby may be innocent of the charge made against him, but he certainly had the misfortune to get into bad company. A Buioopy Arrray occurred in San Francisco, last Friday night. J. W. Walsh, editor of the Sunday Varieties, attempted to shoot a man named McQuade, but missed hisaim. A fight then ensued, in which Walsh and a friend, took one side, and McQuade anda man named McCann took the other. Walsh’s companion was soon placed hors du combat, when McCann and MeQuade united upon Walsh. They succeeded in getting possession of Walsh’s pistol and beat him over the head and face with it. Walsh and his friend came to the police station covered with blood and wounds, His face and hands were frightfully lacerated. The others were brought in by the police. McCann’s head was beaten to a jelly. MeQuade also received some severe cuts onthe head, and his hands were badly cut. Walsh, however, it seems from all accounts, got the worst of the fight, having the odds against him. Useitxss Lasor.—A fellow named George Lovering was sentenced some time age to serve a year in the Auburn jail, for having in his possession burglarious tools. A few days since, says the Herald, the jailor ascertained that Lovering bad, by some means, procured a small crowbar and saw, and had been se far accommodating as to saw the shackles from one of the prisoners who is awaiting trial under an indictment for murder. For his ingenuity and industry Lovering, who was before unshackled, has been put in irous, and closely confined to his cell where a wholesome restraint, in future, will Le exercised upon his free disposition to work, Suockinc Case or Insanity.—On Tuesday, March 23d, Officer Nesbitt of Greenwood Valley, El Dorado county, brought before Judge Johnson @ crazy man by the name of Benj. Gass, who resided at Georgetown. The unfortunate man in one of his fits of madness, had nearly severed one of his bands from the arm with an iron instrument which he had made very sharp by rubbing on the rocks. The Judge sent the poor fellow to the Steckton Asylum. Steamer Expecrep.—The steamer J. L. Stephens, with dates from New York to the Sth inst., is now over due. The telegraph wires between here and Sacramento, have been broken down by the storm, znd we shall probably not learn of the arrival until the news is received in the Sacramento papers, To pe Executrep —Three Chinamen, the murderers of M. V. B. Griswold, and a white man, are to be executed near Jackson, Amador co., ou the 16thof April. The gallows has been erected about a mile from the town. Rosseriss.—The Washington Hotel on Mill street, was robbed on Tuesday night of last week. Que of the ledgers lost $20 in coin aud a breast pin worth $20. Another lost a tea dollar gold piece and some small chauge. The money and valuables were taken from their clothing in their rooms. The thief is supposed to have been a felluw who came along and solicited free lodgings, representing himself as outof money. Mr. Blackford gave him a bed. He probably got up in the night, committed the robbery, and took the plunder outside, and concealed it, as the outer door to which he might easily had accees was unlocked. The Aurora House was broken into on Thursday night last, and every room iu the house not locked, was entered. The robber stole a Colt’s revolver (No. 89,569) froma Mr. William Nute, anda teu dollar gold piece from his room-mate. Ten dollars, some silver, and a small specimen, were also taken from the pantaloons of Mr. Savage. Several other inmates lost small sums, In several cases clothes were taken from under the pillows of the sleeping inmates, rifled of their valuables and thrown upon the floor. A suitable reward will be paid for the return of the pistol, which, it is hoped, may lead to the detection of the robber.—G@, V. Telegraph. Desasep Cow.—A number of depreciated double eagles are in circulation, according to the S. F. Bulletin. They have been sawed into edge wise, filled with base metal, and then the rims worked over in such a manner as to make detection difficult, except by weighing or particular examination. This method of debasing coin is not new, and money debased in this way bas been circulating for a long time. As it is, however, thus brought to notice, persons will probably be more cautious than heretofore in receivingcoin. The depreciation, in some cases is very great, and the cein so light as to be easily detected. “Paddy Shields” is the courteous title which the R chmond South gives Gen.

Yours in haste, RESIDENTER. © som at Sea.—The Mexican brig Cornelia, bound from Mazatlan to San Fraucisco, on the night of Feb. 16th, sprung a leak, and sunk in lat. 30°, long. 122°. Her cargo consisted of salt, lumber and $50,000 in silver, which was a total loss. The Los Angeles correspondent of the Alta, gives the following particulars of the disaster : Her captain was awakened at night by the watch, with the cry—“The brig is sinking, sir.’’ He jumped aft and found that the copper sheathing had been knocked off, aud thata whole seam was open, through which the briny floods poured with such a force that in balf an . hour the brig made eighteen inches, in spite of all their efforts. When be found she must sink, he transferred his papers, some provisions, and a sail to the ship’s boat, and steered northeast for the nearest land, which they reached in four days and a balf, at San Quentin, having sailed in their open boat 370 miles. At San Quentin, which is 450 miles below San Diego, the captain exchanged his boat for the use of three poor animals that had been kept for packing salt, and with them pushed on for white settlements, He was nine days reaching San Diego. There was English insurance on the vessel and silver. which belonged to four parties, all English.—

The salt was sold to arrive in San Francisco. This, with the lumber, will be a total loss. Ssootixe Arrarr.—A correspondent of the Calaveras Chronicle gives the following account of a shooting affair, which occurred at Rich Gulch, Calaveras county, on Wednesday, the 24th inst: The difficulty occurred about a miuing claim, between J. Gerolemy and one White. It appears that White sunk a shaft about a year ago and abandoned it. Gerolemy went on the ground a short time since, and sunk another shaft, and struck a good pruspect. White hearing of it, claimed the ground, and threatened to strike Gerolemy with a pick handle; this not intimidating Mr. G., White presented a revolver; but G. was too quick for him, he also had arevolver and shot White, breaking his jawbone to pieces, Gerolemy is said to be a quiet, peaceable man, but possessing resolution sufficient to defend and protect bis own rights. — White is the same man who, in 1853, struck Judge Eno witha pick handle, for which he served the State two years in the Penitentiary, Gerolemy immediately gave himselfup toa peace officer. IxnptrAN Retripution.—About a month since, says the Placerville Jndex, we reported the trial of two men before the Court of Sessions, who werg arraigned for stealing flour from Mr. Weatherwax, at El Dorado City. The defendants asserted that they had purchased the flour from the Indians, After examination, the men were discharged, and everybody supposed that the Indians were the guilty parties. One day . last week, one of these same men was found hanging by the neck to a tree in Hungry Hollow, and from appearances had been in that condition for a week or more. The supposition in, that he was hung by the Indians in revenge for a charge of theft which he had made against them. Quartz.—As an evidence of the present activity of quartz enterprises, says the Union, we may mention that the machinery of no less than three quartz mills is in process of construction, at the Union Foundry, of eight stamps each. One, to be driven by water power, is to he located on the Mokelumne river, near West Point. Another is to be crected near Eureka, Nevada county, and the third on Sutter Creek, Nevada county. The last will be worked by steam. An engine of thirty-five horse power is being constructed at the foundry, to be used in connection with the stamps designed for the Eureka mills. Porsonep Carps.—An interesting little danghter of Mr. A. ©. Russell, editor of the San Joaquin Republican, was nearly poisoned to death by putting an enameled card in ber mouth on Wednesday evening. Her little brother had called on some of the neighbors and returned with a visiting card, which he handed to bis sister, who moistened it with her lips and swallowed some of the enamel, which is composed of arsenic and other deleterious substances.— Prompt medical assistance preserved the little girl’s life. InpicreD FoR PeRJury.—The gran jury of San Francisco have indicted John Jones for perjury, in swearing before the Board of Equalization that his property was not worth $5,000, which was proved to be worth $10,000, and was asseseed at $20,000; and Joseph J Gray for sweariug that his ees was worth but $2,500, when it was worth mach more, and had been assessed at $40,000. A Numerous Progsny.—Dona Josefa Sanchez de Bernal, aged ninety-seven years. died at San Jose on the 18th of March. She was among the first of the white Spanish race that settled in that portion of California, where she was married and raised bud family. Her decendants at this day, says the San Jose Telegraph, number about treo hundred. letter is dated Feb. 18th, says: Whatever ground there was a few days since for the Lecemptonites to believe that they could pass through the House the contrivance which they support, it has now slipped away from them, for at this moment it is obvious to the most careless observer of transpiring events that Lecompton must soon meet a blow mere terrible than that. only one week ago, in the resolution which ordered inquiry into its wickedness and oppressiov. Men from the*South, and from the far Southern States, will vete against it. They admit and learn that they have hesitated too long, but that their decision and their votes will make up in what they may have before failed todo. Withstrength gained by those who support the great principle of the Kansas-Nebraska act, not only in the North, but in the Sonth, since the test on Harris’s resolution, and the promising signs for the future, it is net an extravagant surmise that cre another week rolls by, the votes against Lecompton will reach two thirds of the members of the House. The Lecomptonites cannot disguise this fact ; they published it by a postponement of their caucus which was to have met last night, and by the adjournment of the investigation committee. All idea of rushing things throngh with a high band is reluctantly given up for want of power to effect their purpose, and it may be that the endeavor hereafter will be to save the Constitution from a sudden and deserved annibilation. Later FRoM THE SournerN Coast.—The steamer Senator arrived at the Bay last Friday, from San Pedro, briuging later dates from the southern coast. The Los Angeles Star bas an account of an atrocious murder committed at San Bernardino upon @ young and favorite Indian, by a man named Heath. It appears that a difficulty had . eccurred between the two during the day, and that Heath, watching his opportunity, approached the Indian, whilst asleep by the side of his wife, “and shot him through the breast. The unfortunate man died instantly. Heath attempted to escape; but was arrested, and will be made to answer for bis crime. The detachment of troops that left San Pedro on the 9th ult., for Fort Yuma, arrived at that post on the 27th, baviug had a pleasant time all the way through. The Star says the road was found to be an excellent ene, and is believed by the officers of the army to be superior to the route via San Diego. Grass, water and wood are to be found in abundance, all along . the route, until its intersection with the San Diego road; the worst road occurring after passing that point. The command did not suffer in the least for the want of either grasa for the animals, or water and fael for themselves. The officers are of the opinion that this is by far the most desirable ronte by land from San Francisco to Fort Yuma. The Star has a letter from Salt Lake City, dated Jan. 30, from which we take the following :—*‘Clothing or groceries of any kind are . not to be obtaiued here, as no goeds have come in this fall. The soldiers are encamped at Fert . Bridger. There is plenty of goods there, but all our merchants have deeamped, and we do not wish to have any more Gentiles about us, though we need their govds. Home manufac. . ture is gonc into frem necessity, and in time . we shall have a supply from this souree, whieh would have been better for allifithad been) commenced sooner.”’ Tae Consequences.— The Washington (D. C.) States, bas been permitted to examine a private letter from a distinguished Democrat in Kansas to a Member of Congress from Pennsylvania. The letter states that the Lecompton Coustitution was conceved in fraud, and nurtured and matured in iniquity; and that the United States . Army, multiplied by ten, cannot put itin operation in Kansas. The writer says he has always been a democrat, and through all the troubles in Kansas has admonished the people to submit to the laws and seek their remedy at the ballot bex ; that things seem quiet now, but that it is the calm that precedes the mighty storm ; that the Territory, at present, is but a} slumbering volcano, which will burst forth the moment Congress adopts the Constitution, Gen. Haske. Crazy AGain.—The correepondent of the Louisville Courier says that Gen. Wm. T. Haskell, of Tennessee, has again beeome deranged, and is now confined in the lunatic asy. Jum at Hopkinsville, It will be recollected that . Gen. Haskell was receutly dismissed from the asylum at Lexington, cured. Fata Minin Accipent.—Two miners, named Joseph Headley aud Joel Doyle, were instantly killed, near Scott Flat, Sierra county, on the 16th of March. by tha caving of a bank. Headly was about 36 years old, and resided formerly in Indiana. Doyle was from Bangor, Maine, and was about 45 years of age. Goop Dicaines.—At Louisburg, about one mile from this town, several miners bave lately been making very good wages. One man took out, last week, with a rocker, from $10. to $17 daily. The water for washing was procured from a well.—Mariposa Democrat. Tae Sovruern Vineyarp.—This is the title of anew paper just established at Los Angeles by J.J. Warner. It eschews politics and promises to devote itself to the furtherance of the particular interests of Los Angeles county. EXCHANGES.—Geo.
