BLOODY AFFRAY AT VIcKsBURG.-The
Vicksburgh Sentinel of the LIST instant gives the
following account of bloody affray which hap
pened in that city on the Friday previous 'sJohn
F. Burkhardt, young music teacher recently
arrived from Germany who was on Friday walk
ing home with lady to whom he was giving
music lessons on the organ at the Episcopal
Church. They were met by the husband of the
lady, H C. Coons, who has for some years been
resisting a suit for divorce which his wife COM
menced against him in Louisiana He violently
interfered, pushing his wife and Burkhardt asun-
der, and using insulting language to Burkhardt.-
few minutes afterwards they met at the office
of DR.. Magruder, where Burkhardt told Coons his
conduct to him and lady in his company was
unworthy of man and characteristic of a scoun-
drel. At this Coons struck him in the face !:
when Burkhardt drew his knife. Coons ran ont
of the Office and picked up a brick bat which he
threw at Burkhardt with great violence. but
missed Turning he fell, when Burkhardt inflic
ted four gashes with his knife in Coons side. back
and breast, before any by-stander interfered.-
Burkhardt was taken Immediately before Mavor

CAIIE0RNIA


A project for emigration to California has been
conceived IN Arkansas, some of the details OF
which we find in the Little Rock Gazette from
the pen of Mr. D. G. w. Leavitt, of Napoleon
The purpose of the projectors is to raise compa-
ny of one thousand-''a number sufficient to give
stability and permanency to the settlement, and
also to give it a commanding influence on the
sparsely settled coast
The Californians have recently nullifed the
Mexican tariff. Since Michettorena has been
driven out of California, the province has been
independent. They sent the General and his
troops to San Bias, at expense of $I1 900, and
after that in their right took possession of the
archives, and made division of the Offices. The
natives of Upper California are resolved upon in
dependence, which they have in fact, already,
and which will not be very difficult to preserve.
The number OF emigrants arriving at California is
very large, all along the coast, and the emigrants
are all against Mexico. A letter dated Monterey,
June lst, says that the last great battle between
the MeXicans and Californians was fought in
February, with cannon on each side and plenty
OF small arms. The cannonade was kept up for
the greatest part of two days. Loss, four horses.
The men were wiser, keeping out of the way of
cannon balls and grape. They only like the lat
ter (under the name) when distilled. 1t
is said there was once battle in some part of
Mexico where six thousand ball cartridges were
hred, and the next day High Mass was said, Civ
ing thanks that no blood was she'd
