Burns, the agentof the Pioneer Express, at Marysville, abstracted some seven or eight thousand dollars from the office of the eompany, on the 4th inst., and left for San Francisco, with the intention of taking passage on the . steamer for the east, The robbery was detect. ed, however, anda dispatch was sent to the San Francisco police, who arrested Burns en hoard ‘he steamer, a few minutes before it sailed. They recovered about $3,700 of the money. Burne says that during the State Fair in Sacra. mento, be lost a small sum of money at gambling. He went back to Marysville and again engaged in gambling in the hope of regaining . lost money, but got involved to the amount of $5,000. He went to two of his friends and told them of the dilemma in which he was, and had resolved to seek Mr Langton and confess the whole matter. Visions of the State Prison, bowever, haunted bis mind, and instead of going to Mr. Langton, he went to the safe—took out $4,000 more, and started for the East, Tu OveRLAND TeELeGRaPU.—An Eastern correspondent of the Bulletin says that a convention met in New York on the 5th of September, coosisting of representatives from all the priapal telegraph companies in the United States, representing a capital of $9,000,000. The chief object of the convention was to agree upon a the plains, connecting California with the Eastern States, The immediate construction of the work had already been determined upon; and build it, and upon what terms and arrangements with the branch lines at the East. Parponep.—Gov. Weller bas pardoned Jobn McCabe, who was couvicted in Nevada county gree, and senteuced to ten years imprisonment, McCabe, it will be remembered, was one of the whieh resnited in the killing of MeMurtry. has received the Executive clemency in consideration of good conduct daring bis imprisonment, and en condition that he does not hereafter violate any criminal law of the State. Resistina aN Orricer.—Benjamin Brown, a San Francisco policeman, was severely beaten who was assisted by a Mexican woman afl an Indian boy. Brown had Overa, and barely eseaped with his life. officers were subsequently sent to make the arrest, but Overa bad fled. been sent to arrest Two Deatu at Vacavitie.—A correspondent at Vacaville informs the Sacramento Union that a man, formerly from Wainfleet, Canada West, and more recently from Alpha, Nevada county, named Elam Messner, died in a fit of apoplexy, Sept. 26th. as he was going from his residence to a epring, about four bandred yards distant, for a pail of water, candidate, 240, The returns from other parts of New Mexico have not been but it is said that Mr. Otero, the Delegate iu the last received, Congress, bas been re-elected. Hravy Cror.—A field of wheat near Genoa, svason, some one hundred and fifty bushels to . the acre. . An AwreL Rerrisution.—Some time last sprivg a company of Pike's Peakers left Grayville, DL, for the Kausas gold regions, traveling through the Lludian country on their way out, one of the company, a young man of . desperate character frow the vicinity of Grayville, named Haynes, declared bis determination . to shoot the first Indian be met, and unbappily, during the day they overiouok a poor drteuceleveled bis guo and shot ber dead, . His companions were horrer-stricken at the . blood thirety d-ed, but felt that they bad no ; power to punish him, The tribe to whioh the . squaw beloged was not far distant when the deed was perpetrated, They discovered her lifeless body, and saw at once the manner of her death. They pursued the party of Illinois Pike’s Peuakers, and in a few hours overtook . them, and demanded to know who had committed the murder. The company, numbering only five or six, found themeelves surrounded by nearly two immolate the whule party if they did not point out and give up the murderer. To save their geance. He was taken by the Indians toa distance, while bis companions tarried on their route to see what wea!d be his fate. After a while the Indians returned with their victim literally flayed alive. They bad skinned him from bead to foot. The wretched being was still alive when brought back to his companions, but in torments worse than bell fire, had been tortured, but was soon released by death from unspeakable eufferings. Terrible as she revenge was, few can say it was not deserved. Aw UngquaL Coyntest.—An amusing incident occurred while Van Amburgh’s menagerie was crossing the Appomattox, a short distance . above the Pocahontas bridge, strikingly illustrative of the fact that the bull-dog is the most courageous of all animals, and will attack any creature, regardless of size. As the elepbaut entered the water witb bis usual slow and cautious step, some individual in the : crowd, . prompted by a spirit of miscbief, hied on a . large bull dog to attack the huge animal. The dog instantly obeyed, and plunging into the water, seized bold of one of the hind legs of the elephant, on which the latter only ewitebed bim with his tail, as he would brush off a fly, but not ridding himself of bis assailant by such gen. tle means, and feeling sbarp teeth at work upon his leg, he suddenly threw his snout around, bigh in the air, threw bm at least a hundred feet out into the stream. Fully satisfied with the punishment he had received, the dog made . bis way to the shore, and beat a haety retreat. plano for constructing a telegraph line across . the only questions to be settled by the conven. tion were, as to which of the companies should . about a year ago, of murder in the second de. parties engaged in the affray at Grass Valley, .

The feeling in regard to Senator Broderick’s Death —Rain Storm—Shooting Affair, &c. &e. Frenou Guicu, Sept. 28th 1859. Epiror Democrat :—The excitement of elec. tion had barely subsided and the public miud of . . our community resumed its wonted quiet, when . it was suddenly thrown into commotion again, by the news of the duel between Senator Brod. erick and Judge Terry ; and when afew days} . later, along the wires came intelligence of our . Senator’s death, and we became acquainted with circumstances attending the whole affair, . the excitement settled into a feeling of mingled sorrow and indignation, Althongh no public demonstration bas marked the feeling, yet, in our hearts we share, and mourn the common . loss, Nor can we divest our minds of the belief, that the grave, in which is buried Califor. nia’s hopes for years to come, has been filled by . a base and unparalleled conspiracy. Yet, that . grave, with its perpetual night of silence, its . . damps and gloom, is far preferable to any honorable mind, to the Cain-like existence of the murderer of its occupant; and the memory of him, who there peacefully sleeps, will be fresh . in the hearts of his countrymen, long after that of Judge Terry, and the infamous clique whose bloody been consigned to oblivion, work be has accomplished, will have . Aye, when California shall have attained the culmination of ; ber greatnessin that noontide of glory and prosperity, her citizens in reviewing their past . political history, will dwell with particular . . pride and satisfaction, upon the memory of David C, Broderick, martyred for his unwaver. ing devotion to, and defence of right and prin. ciple. The weather with us, during the past fort-. night, has been quite variable, passing us all the . tween extreme summer aud mid-winter, Heavy rains have fallen, which, while they bave been . . through Vicissitudes intervening be. in some respects beneficial, in others bave proved the source of much injury, On Scott River a majority of the minershad completed their . dams and flames, and were about getting into the river bed, with fair prospects of a fine return for their summer’s work, when the stream . was suddenly swollen by the unexpected showers, and in a few brief moments, all that had taken accomplish, was swept away. months of toil to Since the rains, we have bad eold nights accompauied with severe frosts, whieh bave stripped the trees of foliage and destroyed . much of vegetation in the valley, On last Sunday eveuiog, a man named Miller . who bore rather an unenviable reputation, and who some time ago emigrated from this vicinity to “parts unkoown,’”’ appeared rather unexpectedly to a number of persous assembled in a saloon at the of Deadwood, miles from this place, where he managed ina a very short time, to getup a disturbance, the town some two ' . exact natare of which, I have not learned, but it was deemed eufficient to warrant bis arrest. . This was attempted by Constable Bradley, . Miller resisting, drew a pistol and fired at the . officer, the ball passing through bis thigh near the groia, making a dangerous and perhaps fatal wound. In the excitement consequent up. on the scene, Miller slipped out and took to the followed by hills; he was soon some six or eight men, and although one of them sueceed. ed in coming up, and exchanging ehots with he at large. Hlad he been taken on Monday, it is very probable that he would have received punwith him, manged to escape, and is still ishment without the trouble and expense of a legal trial. An accident occurred a short time eince in the Siskiyou Quartz Ledge, by which one of the hands named Oliver, was injured. He lighting a pipe. when @ spark feom the match that he bad struck, flew into a canister of pow. der that was sitting elose by, whieh exploded, . } striking bim in the face and on the bauds, buraing them badly. Acompany while prospecting for quartz was . about half a mile below town, have struck a vein of coal. None of it has been tested yet, but it is supposed to Le of good quality. . Youre. &. C6: . Tue Peurisuine Haneens.—The family orig: . inally came from Bugland and settled on Long Island, near the village of Newtowa, The fas . ther and mother became the followers of Jobo . Wesley, and we believe that a majority, if not) all, the present members of that firm belong to the Methodist Church, and have pews in the St, . Paul's pew marble Methodist edifice in Fourth . avenue, Socially, they are all excelleut men. . The senior, James Harper, ex-Know Nothing . Mayor of New York, is fond of a good joke, . aud enlivens the company he may associate with by relating many a laugh-proviking anec. dote. Jobn, the next oldest, is an excellent man, with a clear bead, active babits, and great . business tact. Fletcher, the third brother, is a kind-hearted, pleasant and agreeable man; also . laughs heartily at a good joke, and is, when not absent in Europe on business, the talking man . of the concern, witb authors, idlers and outsi. . dersin general. Wesley, the fourth, we believe, . is the youngest of the brothers. He is the local and active business man of the firm, under whose supervision all the various mechanical . operations of the bouse are carried on, He is . quick, industrious aod of few words, but has a, miod tliat is as keeu as a briar. The “quarto” of brothers deserve great credit for their suocess. They commenced in humble but respectable spheres—the eldest as printers; and James, the eldest, we are told, in his younger life, work. ed many a day pulling at a band-press in a job printing office. From printers they got to be publishers, and have arrived at the head of their business.--Richmond Enquirer. Marriep Lany Squeezep—By a Mice Suart. —-Mra, M. E. Gardner, wife of Z. Gardner, proprietor of the steam flouring mill at this place, says the Knight’s Landing News, while inspect ing the machinery of the mill, on Monday, caught the skirt of her dress so that she was squeezed in between the shaft and the wall, intoa space of scarcely six inches wide. Her screame were beard by the engineer, Mr, Taylor. who with a presence of mind and coolness never to be forgotten, instantly reversed the motion of the machinery, thus saving ber from . death, for bad tbe shaft made a few more revo. lutions, she would inevitably have been killed, Wire Mcrper.—On the 10th of September, in Tubae, Arizona, a Mexican named Francisco Carisosa, better kuown as “Chicu,’’ killed his wife and escaped to Sonora, He is supposed to . have committed the murder in a fit of jealousy.

Democratic party, we will have a Black Repub‘it. Sewarp’s CuHances For THS PRESIDENOY.— “Oceasional,’’ the well-known Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Press, in a recent letter, says: That the friends of Mr. Seward aré determined to press him for the Presidential nomination at the Republican Natioual Convention is beyond question. If you will refer to the Albany Hevening Journal, conducted by bis confidential adherent, Mr, Weed, you will see that they bave resolved that he shall not be put off. The trath is, Mr, Seward bas many oc ed e is well skilled in the machinery of his own party, is backed by men of large fortune, is himself in affluent circumstance, and possesses a Zood many qualities to attach others to his cause, Scill, bis opponent, and always his opponent, it is due him that I should say that, for a man whose opinions have been so strongly denounced, I know of few more kind-hearted statesmen, or more willing to act liberally and fairly in personal matters towards their eppouents, he . fact is, Seward is the embodiment of the present Republican party. He is, indeed, almost the father of it, I think he would get the lar. gest vote if nomiuated, although I am of the opinion that no man who stands upon bis platform, or the Republican platform of 1856, can be elected; and yet, such is the dilemma of bis peculiar school of politics that unless they adhere to this platform, and to the doctrines as laid down, they will have no party atal!, Itis in vain for men to make a combination for mere purposes of plunder next year, Zhe spirit of revolt is abroad in every organization ; and this spirit will not be satistied with any compromise for the sake of gratifying men, If the Demopolicy without murmuring, [ grant you that such a man as Mr, Seward would have a firstrate chance to be elected; but now that there . is a bold and widely extended, and I believe an irresistible organization in the Democratic party against that policy, Lam convinced thata {like spirit has grown up in the Opposition ranks, which will be content with nothing short of the boldest declaration of opinion on every great issue, PLeruora or Grawn.—The Napa county Reporter, of the 3d inst., gives the following picture of affairs in that county: It is a strange fact that sometimes the best gifts of Providence seem converted into mere uuisanees, and instead of being thankful for abundance, regard it rather as a sore calamity, Yet it iseven se, Napa county is to-day cursed with plethora of grain. We have more wheat thau we want, or kKuow what to do with, and as all have a surplus, nobody can find a market for the product of his tields. Four large warehouses are filled to overflowing, and teas of thousands of sacks still remain in the hands of our farmers, This county depends almost catirely upon the grain crop for its supply of mouey, aud so great is the yield this year, that the market price is less than the cost of produetion, The result is that there is no money in circulation and a whole year’s indebtedness stands uncancelled, Everybody is in debt to everybody, aud nobody can puy. Such times we have never seen in this part of the world, and hope we may not see again, The more property a man has, the worse he is off; especially if bis taxes are unpaid, for be can sell nothing, except at an immense sacrifice, and still costs something to hold on to what be bas. We believe the amount of taxes to be raised this year is some $70,000, The money to pay thissum, or even one quarter of it, is not to be found, we believe, in our whole county. We can see no prospect of any relief, even temporary, autil our grain crop is sent to market, and sold—even if it must be at a low figure, Whatelve can we part with, to procure money even enough to pay our taxes? We cannot borrow our selves out of debt, even iflendera were to be found; and from present appearances, there is but litthe encouragement for expecting better prices, We are sorry to say it, but we fear that many must lose, who ought made a fair profit upon the years farming operations, At present, business is stagnated for waut of mouey, and everybody waiting for better prices in the grain market. Dovetas or a Buack Rerusitcan.—The St. Louis correspondent of the Marysville Democrat under date of Sept. 11th writes : Senator Douglas is now making a tour through the Northern States, and is received wherever he goes with great enthusiasm, He visited Cinciunati, and on the 9th inst., made a speech to the people, which was received with great applause. Mr. Douglas’ popularity is daily increasing, and from what I can learn, from the differeat points, both North and South he is the only man the Democracy can bring out who will make a successful race for PresiThere are four papers in one congressional district in Tennessee at present presenting the claims of Mr. Douglas foe candidacy, aud many more will hoist his name at the bead of their columns before the Charleston Convention assembles, He is the only man . who will commanda strong support in the North—and he should receive the nomination by acclamation, Mark my prediction: if Stephen A Douglas is not the candidate of the lican President for the four years ending on the 4th of March, 1865, Remopering Tas Mar or Evrope.—Among . the items of late Huropean news, we find the following: A petition iain circulation in the Duchy of Savoy asking to be annexed to France. It pleads the identity of race, language, manners, and customs, and national sympathy, and interests. In conclusion, in referring to the proposed consolidation of the Italian people, it says: “Savoy is not {talian, nor, indeed, oan it be.” . The movement, however, bas given great offense to the Piedmontese government, which bas suspended a local journal for advocating . The old Duchy of Savoy, now containing probably 700,000 people, would make a ver handsome addition to France; but it is doubtful, notwithstanding her seeming obligation for the gift of Lombardy, whether Sardinia wonld voluotarily surreoder it, It is the ancient seat of her royal family, a sort of hereditary patrimony, and, besides, commands important military passes to the eastern Alpe, AvyotueR Ratp—A gentleman in the confi. dence of Gen, Wm. Walker, writes from New York September Sth, to a friend in San Francisco, saying that Walker, with 400 men, will soon be in Niearagua—that be will sail with the full knowledge and with the best wiehes of the Administration for his suecess, and that it . has delivered to him the arms captured some years ago by Paulding! An interesting work has just left the press of Messrs, Firman Didot, Paris. It consists of letters from Mary Queen of Scots to Bothwell, and documents regarding the murder of Darnley and the execution of Mary—letters and documents accurately printed after the original text. The book forms a sequel to the collection of Prince Labanhoff, and is edited by M. A. Teulet. Le DEMOCRAT. ee WHOLE NO. 314. California News Items. There is a singular substance, says the Placer. ville Observer, found upon the Seavee. of the oak in various parts of California, which, in its economic value, is worthy of more than a passing notice. It has received the appellation of “honey dew,” from its exceedingly sweet taste and the manner in which it settles upon the trees. It is so plentiful in some portions of this county, the present season, that its approaclr to the trees is at times distinctly seen in the form of a faint mist, and maybe noticed upon the leaves ina thin, glossy coating, or in small sparkling drops. Trees bearing honey dew are visited by immense numbers of hornets, ants and other sugar eating insects.

As the elepbaut entered the water witb bis usual slow and cautious step, some individual in the : crowd, . prompted by a spirit of miscbief, hied on a . large bull dog to attack the huge animal.

Epiror Democrat :—The excitement of elec. tion had barely subsided and the public miud of . . our community resumed its wonted quiet, when . it was suddenly thrown into commotion again, by the news of the duel between Senator Brod. erick and Judge Terry ; and when afew days} . later, along the wires came intelligence of our . Senator’s death, and we became acquainted with circumstances attending the whole affair, . the excitement settled into a feeling of mingled sorrow and indignation, Althongh no public demonstration bas marked the feeling, yet, in our hearts we share, and mourn the common . loss, Nor can we divest our minds of the belief, that the grave, in which is buried Califor. nia’s hopes for years to come, has been filled by . a base and unparalleled conspiracy. Yet, that . grave, with its perpetual night of silence, its . . damps and gloom, is far preferable to any honorable mind, to the Cain-like existence of the murderer of its occupant; and the memory of him, who there peacefully sleeps, will be fresh . in the hearts of his countrymen, long after that of Judge Terry, and the infamous clique whose bloody been consigned to oblivion, work be has accomplished, will have . Aye, when California shall have attained the culmination of ; ber greatnessin that noontide of glory and prosperity, her citizens in reviewing their past . political history, will dwell with particular . . pride and satisfaction, upon the memory of David C, Broderick, martyred for his unwaver. ing devotion to, and defence of right and prin. ciple.

This was attempted by Constable Bradley, . Miller resisting, drew a pistol and fired at the . officer, the ball passing through bis thigh near the groia, making a dangerous and perhaps fatal wound. In the excitement consequent up. on the scene, Miller slipped out and took to the followed by hills; he was soon some six or eight men, and although one of them sueceed. ed in coming up, and exchanging ehots with he at large. Hlad he been taken on Monday, it is very probable that he would have received punwith him, manged to escape, and is still ishment without the trouble and expense of a legal trial.

The trath is, Mr, Seward bas many oc ed e is well skilled in the machinery of his own party, is backed by men of large fortune, is himself in affluent circumstance, and possesses a Zood many qualities to attach others to his cause, Scill, bis opponent, and always his opponent, it is due him that I should say that, for a man whose opinions have been so strongly denounced, I know of few more kind-hearted statesmen, or more willing to act liberally and fairly in personal matters towards their eppouents, he . fact is, Seward is the embodiment of the present Republican party. He is, indeed, almost the father of it, I think he would get the lar. gest vote if nomiuated, although I am of the opinion that no man who stands upon bis platform, or the Republican platform of 1856, can be elected; and yet, such is the dilemma of bis peculiar school of politics that unless they adhere to this platform, and to the doctrines as laid down, they will have no party atal!, Itis in vain for men to make a combination for mere purposes of plunder next year, Zhe spirit of revolt is abroad in every organization ; and this spirit will not be satistied with any compromise for the sake of gratifying men, If the Demopolicy without murmuring, [ grant you that such a man as Mr, Seward would have a firstrate chance to be elected; but now that there . is a bold and widely extended, and I believe an irresistible organization in the Democratic party against that policy, Lam convinced thata {like spirit has grown up in the Opposition ranks, which will be content with nothing short of the boldest declaration of opinion on every great issue, PLeruora or Grawn.—The Napa county Reporter, of the 3d inst., gives the following picture of affairs in that county: It is a strange fact that sometimes the best gifts of Providence seem converted into mere uuisanees, and instead of being thankful for abundance, regard it rather as a sore calamity, Yet it iseven se, Napa county is to-day cursed with plethora of grain. We have more wheat thau we want, or kKuow what to do with, and as all have a surplus, nobody can find a market for the product of his tields. Four large warehouses are filled to overflowing, and teas of thousands of sacks still remain in the hands of our farmers, This county depends almost catirely upon the grain crop for its supply of mouey, aud so great is the yield this year, that the market price is less than the cost of produetion, The result is that there is no money in circulation and a whole year’s indebtedness stands uncancelled, Everybody is in debt to everybody, aud nobody can puy. Such times we have never seen in this part of the world, and hope we may not see again, The more property a man has, the worse he is off; especially if bis taxes are unpaid, for be can sell nothing, except at an immense sacrifice, and still costs something to hold on to what be bas. We believe the amount of taxes to be raised this year is some $70,000, The money to pay thissum, or even one quarter of it, is not to be found, we believe, in our whole county. We can see no prospect of any relief, even temporary, autil our grain crop is sent to market, and sold—even if it must be at a low figure, Whatelve can we part with, to procure money even enough to pay our taxes? We cannot borrow our selves out of debt, even iflendera were to be found; and from present appearances, there is but litthe encouragement for expecting better prices, We are sorry to say it, but we fear that many must lose, who ought made a fair profit upon the years farming operations, At present, business is stagnated for waut of mouey, and everybody waiting for better prices in the grain market.

There is a singular substance, says the Placer. ville Observer, found upon the Seavee. of the oak in various parts of California, which, in its economic value, is worthy of more than a passing notice.
