following interesting news in to-days paper.
We therefore send out this Extra.
By the N: o. Picayune we learn that ano-
ther application of Lynch Law took place at
San Francisco on the 10th ult. The victim
stole a small safe from house, and being de-
tected, was pursued out into the bay, where
he threw it overheard. He was taken, carri-
ed into town, summarily tried, condemned,
and hung publicly on the plaza, onthe next
morning. This action was not generally ap-
proved by the citizens in meeting held the
next day, butit was declared by resolution,
that the crimes of grand larceny, burglary
and arson, should be punished with death.
On the Sacramento river, the steamer New
World burst one of her connecting pipes, kill
ing two persons, and injuring twenty others.
Seven men were drowned at Parks bar
Many attempts have been made to fire the
city. An organized gang of >horse thieves
had been arrested
From the Picayune, also, we take the fol-
lowing correspondence, which confirms re-
port that there had been am insunection in
Cuba. AS viii be seen, the 4th of July was
fixed upon for sending out pronuncianlentoS,
and making the initiatory effort for the acqui-
sition of freedom. . The t;patriotsp are very
enthusiastic, and are confident, that should
they be assisted, they will be. successful. On
the 18th inst Proclamation was issued from
the Office of the military secretary at Havana,
which treated the affair as somewhat insig-
nificant On the 5th inst the Commandant
General gave description, in true Spanish
style, of the total rout of twenty-one rebels,
by Cornet of regiment at the head of his
division and the capture of arms and ammu-
milton, "Say t1ro guns, one double-barreled, a
brass cannon and balls, tiro pistols tp0 chopping
knivss, seven TASKS Of ponder, a ball mould md
a cartridge bor,p which we should think was
nothing to boast of We wait anxiously for
further news. The following is the cores
pondence of the Pieayune:
Our correspondence by the Falcon gives ex-
citing intelligence from Cuba. The details
are, of course, imperfect, for no place has few
er facilities than csbs- fr the Of
Intelligence atany time, and the Government
has possession Of all the channels of inter-
course. But it is. evident thatsthe CubanS
have made an effort for themselves, have
risen in their own cause against the Govern
ment, and unfurled the banner of Freedom.
The rising appears to be nearly Simultaneous
in various quarters, and the disposition to rise
is very general. What they. can do, unas-
sisted from abroad, and deprived as they have
been of arms, against the formidable power
which Spain has in the Island, remains to be
| seen; but they must have strong friends a.
mong the troops, and the very attempt shows
| the resolution to do and dare every thing
If they can maintain themselves a while,
there is little doubt that ample, assistance will
| be given to those who will hayo manifested
the determination to help themselves. Show
an organized and hopeful effort of the Cubans
for themselves, and thousands upon thousands
of sympathizing men cannot be hindered by
/ any interposition from crowding to their aid,
with strong arms and unerring rifles not @Fil-
| libusters ssPirates.n but volunteers In a war
| for liberty, as honorable as that which fired
| the generous hearts of Lafayette and Steuben,
1 Even the chance of aiding in such a sponta-
neous moyementof men struggling against
such tremendous odds for the emancipation
from grinding oppression, viii draw hosts to
Etheir suecor. 1t IS impossible to withhold from
the effort the warm sympathies of oHr'coun-
| tryInen, or. to keep back the succof that will
| will be of service to the patriot cause.

A small party that was directing their step

Since the first news of the outbreak, ou
