A M4sTAKE.-Our readers will remember
the published statement of the terrible ven
geance visited by the Indians upon one Mr.
Green, whom they fayed alive, for shooting
a squaw. The Ottawa Free Trader says
that recent letters confirm this statement in
every particular except the name, which is
WATSON, of Bureau co. He made a threat
when he left the frontiers that he would shoot
the first Indian he saw. He had nearly reach
ed California, however before, he carried his
threat into execution. Some one reminding
him of it, he replied that he had forgotten it.,
but that he would do it yet Not long after
wards he saw squaw sitting upon a log.
when he raised his rifle and shot her DOWN
The result is known. Such characters as
this WATSON ought not to be permitted to
travel in respectable companics-their inhu-
man acts may be the cause OF much disaster
to themselves and those with whom they
travel. Young Green arrived safely at the
Placer, and has written home.

Shade frees.

As this is the season OF the year for plan
ting trees, shrubbery, &c, we would suggest
to those citizens owning residences, or even
vacant lots in the city on graded streets, to
ornament them with shade trees. Nothing so
beauties city or village, or private habita-
ton, as handsome shade trees and nothing
can so gladden. the eye and refEeshen the spir-
it, mid the heat and dust Of summer. 1t is
vain to expect that in place the size of this,
fine buildings alone will make it beautiful
A row of healthy shade trees, will do almost
as much for the decoration of block, as a
row of houses. And this is an improvement
which can be so easily made, and at such
small expense to each property holder, and is
in itself SO redolent of good, that we hope our
suggestion will be carried out.

A LocoFoco MEMBER OF CONGRESS IN A
BAD Box.-Dr. G. N. Fitch the Representa-
tive in Congress from the ninth Congression-
al District in this State, procured the seat he
now occupies by bargain with the Free
Sellers of that district. He pledged himself
that he would not, if elected. vote for the adj
mission Of slave State under any circum-
stances. That fact accounts for the difficulty
experienced by Mr.. Brown in extracting from
that pullman, the answer to the following in
terrogatores:
Mr.. Brown, of Mississippi-If California
had applied to be admitted as a state with a
slavery clause, would you vote for the consti-
tuition?
Mr.. Fitch-The doctrine of the Democra-
cy of the north was non-intervention. l was
a Democrat elected on that platform.
Mr.. Brown-Answer my question.
Mr.. Fitch-I would not act inconsstently,
as some gentlemen have done.
Mr.. Brown-Would you have admitted
California if her constitution recognized slav-
cry?
Mr. Fitch-YES, fit was the act of the
people, would give them the benefit of their
own sentiment.
The Free Sellers who voted for Fitch do
not deserve any sympathy as they ought to
have known that no reliance could be put in
any pledge that he made them. He got their
votes, ana that is all he wanted.-T State

TwENTY-sEvEN FEMALES KILLED.-A IA
tai casualty took place at Clare-street auxil-
airy workhouse, by which twenty-seven hu-
man beings lost their lives and twenty-eight
were seriously injured. Between eight and
nine o'clock, shortly after the inmates, five
hundred families, had retired to rest, on the
lofts of the store set apart for sleeping apart
ments, false alarm of fire was given by one
of the women.
The females on the first loft leaped from
their beds, and in the darkness, rushed in ga
body to the staircase or ladder, leading to the
ground floor, and numbers were precipitated
to the ground. from height of not more than
ten feet. Twenty SeUen females acre killed
or rather suffocated from falling on the top Of
each other.

- The reception which Mr.. Calhoun's
speech has met with is we'll calculated to
cheer and encourage in the highest degree
the friends ofthe Union. 1t was met and re-
sisted on the very floor of the Senate by
Southern Senator who was looked upon as
occupying ultra Southern ground upon the
slavery question, and we see that it is con-
demned and denounced wherever it circuates
throughout the South. From none except
the half insane enemies of our glorious
Union does it receive favorable response.
We thought and said Immediately after
reading this speech of Mr.. CaIhoun's, that its
influences would be evil and only evil. We
are happy to think that we were Mistaken
We do sincerely believe that Mr.. Calhoun,
by taking such startling positions and by ex-
hibitng so undisguisedly his mischievous de-
signs, has done much, very much indeed, to
disgust that portion OF the South which has
hitherto followed his council and that he has
strengthened the popular feeling in favor the
maintenance of the Union at all hazards

A Fox SToRY.-Last week in the town Of
Newbury, fox hunter, with two hounds, got
upon the track of a poor fox, which was pur-
sued until towards the close of the day
Fox found matters were drawing to des-
perate crisis with him-and Just at this time
the whistle of the railroad train was heard,
when he struck off in the direction, and APP
preached the track just as the train came up,
and the two hounds close in pursuit. Each
hound was caught by the wheels of the en-
gine-the foremost lost about foot of his
tail and the one in the rear was cut off just
behind his hlps-and off went Fox ''alone in
his glory" However improbable this may
appear, we are assared by Director of the
Road that it is a fact.

MAHoMET's SERMON ON CHARITY-In
one OF his traditional sermons, transmitted by
his disciples, is the following apologize on the
subject Of charity:-When God. created the
earth it trembled until he put mountains upon
it, to make it firm. Then the angels asked,
oh, God, is there anything of thy creation
stronger than these mountainsP And God
replied, Iron is stronger than the mountains
for it breaks them 'And is there anything
of thy creation stronger than iron2' Yes,
fire is stronger than iron, for it melts it, Is
there anything of thy creation stronger than
freq Yes, water, for it quenches fire. 'Oh,
Lord. is there anything ofthy creation strong
er than water?' Yes, wind. for it overcomes
water and puts it in notion oh our Sus-
tainer! is there anything of thy creation
stronger than windF Yes. good man Civ
ing aims; if he give with his right hand and

DEATHS FROM CALIFORNIA DISEASES
The New England papers furnish painful ev-
idence of the mortality which has taken place
among the emgrants from that section to the
gold regions Of California. Many have died
under the accumulatons of great privation
and Distress and others have had none of the
comforts which the poorest outcast in the
United States has thrown around his last
hours Many who have returned home, have
brought disease with them, and some have
gone to that ''bourne from which no traveller
