AL1trder.-We are under the painful necessity of
recording another outrage in our district. One
week since, Major Baldwin and Mr. Atkinson
were murdered in their tent upon the MERGED,
about four miles this side of Ford's ferry. The
deed was done with large pieces of rock, with
which the brains of the sleeping victims were
| dashed out. Mr. Atkinson had for some time been
| IN i'll health. One OF them, after being assaulted
| crept out of the tent and expired. Mr.. Baldwin
had also been stabbed, and his arms were severely
cut In his vain attempts to defend himself from the
assault of the assassns. A teamster, who had
stopped there took the precaution to sleep away
from the tent and his team, and the appearance of
his load, in the morning, bore evidence tina! it had
been searched by the murderers,

STEAMER Lost. On Monday last while the
steamer Yuba was making her regular trip from
Marysyille to this place, and when about opposite
Hook Farm, she struck snag, and, breaking in
two, sunk in about ten feet Of water. The boat is
represented as being total loss. Her passengers
came down on the Governor Dana.
The Levee Contractors.- These parties have
made some progress. About so men are at present
engaged mostly the American Fork sections.
A large number of teams were purchased on Satur-
day. and the work seems likely to be advanced
with commendable alacrity They find no diff
Guilty in obtaining labor at the prices offered and
therefore are not interested in the results of the
ain At 8
remuneration. We sincerely hope that no impedi-
ment on the part of the city will interfere to pre-
vent the tultillment of the engagement into which
they have entered.
igratt0R.-The condition of those now ar
irving is painfully portrayed in the report from a
gentleman who has lately come in from the relief
station in Carson valley, where he had remained
in charge after Mr. Johnson left. 1t certainly calls
for the prompt action of the benevolent and hui
name we trust not in vain.
The Times tells us that Mr.. Henry J. Durable
fell from on board the steamer Yuba, on her down
ward passage from Marysve, when within few
miles Of Sacramento city, recently and was drowned
} The deceased was young gentleman of good pro-
mise and of most amiable department. His father,
the late Martin Durable of NewOrleans, married
favorite daughter of Henry Clay; she died when
their only son few years old, and he was
subsequently reared in the family of his grand
father.
FuneraE-The remains of Mr.. Henry J. Du-
ralde were consigned to the grave yesterday The
arrangements for the burial were made under the
direction of Mr.. Geo. McNeir the present post
master in the absence of Mr.. Little) twas sad
reflection to the few friends present, that the de-
Ginning years OF our honored statesman were required
to be saddened by an ailliction which has severed
another member from his family circle.
from the Sonora Herald, LIST inst
A rich silver mine has been discovered near
Carson's, by DR.. Brown. The wien is a foot in
width, and is supposed to extend over distance of
10 miles. We have specimen in our possession,
which contains 80 per cent of silver.
RObberY.-A few days ago Judge Marvin and
Sheriff Work were stopped on the banks of the
Stantsaus by Mexican, who informed them that
an American had broken into coral and driven
off a mule, his property. The Mexican attempted
to stop him, when the American attacked him
with knife and stabbed him in the arm The
| two gentlemen started in pursuit Of the 5coUndrel,
but their horses giving out, they were compelled to
! give it up.
Horrible Nurder-Mr, George Work. our active
sheriff, has just informed us of another horrible
| murder, which was committed near Waters ranch
| on the MERGED, on Tuesday last. On the evening
| of that day the bodies of Major Baldwin and his
companion were found in horribly mutilated
state, their skulls having been completely smashed
with rocks. 1t appears that the companion of the
| Major must have attempted to fight his way out
with a sabre, his body being found some distance
| from the Majors, and the drawn sabre CovereE
with blood, lying by his side: No clue has Jet b2 L,
| obtained for the discovery of the murderers.
MlripoSa Diggings.-News from the Mariposa
| represents the parties engaged in mining in t. 3
| quartz rock, as meeting with great success A
| large quantity of the rock has been taken out,
| broken up, and separated and the yield surpasses
| anything ever dreamed Of 1t is proved by actual
working thathe quartz pays better, on an average,
than the richest washings in the whole mining re-

near eighteen feet, carrying away his left hand,
and cutting and bruising his face in a most shock
