Two Weeks Later From California.
WITH NEARLY W MILLIONS IN GOLD DUST.

The steamer Illinois. Lieut.. Hartstein,
U. S. N from A~spinwall, Navy Bay ar
rived at New York on the 18th inst. She
brings the California mails to the 18th OF
May; 525 passengers. and $1,868.I62 in
gold dust, Of which 100000 was in the

days and five hours, being the greatest
trip on record.
FROM THE MlNEs.-ln relation to the
general prospects in the mining districts,
the Sacramento Union remarks:
The advices from all parts are highly
favorable. The miners are generally re-
ceiving fair recommendations for their labor,
and while there are fewer instances Of ex.
traordinary individual fortune. the aver
age Weld per man is evidently increasing
by the application Of science and well con-
structed machinery.
Instead of the occupation being as form
erly, a kind of rowing, hap-hazard excur-
sion. it is now regarded as a regular legiti-
mate pursuit. upon which men enter with
the same views of permanently and sys-
tenn as upon any other avocation in life.
In placer. or surface mines, which two
years ago. with the imperfect machinery
then in use. would not have yielded an in
come equal t, the expense Of living, mi
hers are now making from four to ten dol
lars per day. Earth that will yield two
cents per bushel. or in mining phraseology,
a cent a bucket, can be very probably
worked.
CASUALTIES. CRIMES, &c.-Some recent
developments of a startling character hav-
ing come to the ears Of the Vigilance Com
mittee. that formidable body has again
deemed it proper for the public veal to
hold meetings. but as yet no occasion for
their interference has been offered.
Chas. II Morris was robbed Of about
$4Oo and murdered, near Mokelumne
Hill.
Nine prisoners made their escape from
the county Jail of San Francisco on the
18th. Twelve others. who made a despe'
rate attempt, failed. One ofthe prisoners
in the attempt 10 escape, was killed by an
officer Of the prison.
In the case Of Tanner, sentenced ia
death. at Marysville. for larceny, a review
in a higher court has resulted in confirm
ing the decision.
MIscELLANEoUs-Hon Alexander Wells
had taken his seat on the bench Of the
Supreme Court.
A difficulty occurred at Atchison's Bar
between a party Of thirty Americans ant
Europeans, and one hundred and fity
Cinnamon, in which the former were sue
cessful. having succeeded in routing th'
Chinese and driving them away from tn
Bar.
! New discoveries have been made OF
Missouri Bar. which has caused consider
able excitement among the miners in tina
vicinity.
The stock of provisions at the mine
had accumulated, and prices were at
reasonable standard. In fact. in some in
/, stances, provisions a be bought at tn
mines cheaper than at San Francisco.

OLD OPINIONS.

A Buffalo paper digs up the following
extract from a letter Of HORACE GREELEY
written in l848! GREELEY. who now goes
for ScorT, writhes like a crippled snake
over it:
"Ssnd a delegate to the Convention, if
you can for Clay. ifnotfor Clay for Corwin,
il not for Corwin for Seward. if not for
Seward for Taylor. But last of all for
Scott. Scott is a rain conceited corcomb
of a man. His brains all that he has,
are in his eqaulettes, and if he should be
elected President, he Mould tear the achig

MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.

Ahse -
in the Cincinnati Citizen Of the 18th inst.
For some time past, the attention Of
the residents Of Walnut Hills, in the
neighborhood of the Jefferson Brewery,
has been directed to the mysterious BUSH
ness carried on in a small shan;y. with a
high chimney attached. situated close to
the road, and a few hundred yards above
the brewery. 1t was observed that carts
came there frequently, and always after
dark; no one was ever permitted to enter,
and over the door was the unp~retsnding
inscription of"Cash for soap-grease, and
dead horses bones" W. are informed
by Mr.. Tieman, proprietor ofthe Jefferson
Brewery, that when the chimney attached
to the shanty, which was styled "Chemi.
cal Laboratory was smoking, the smell
in the vicinity was intolerable, and first
excited the suspicion of the neighbors
who have now for many weeks distrusted
the occupant of the cottage. His name is
Joseph Davis. he is said to have been at
one time a chemist, and to have failed in
business.
On Monday last, about 8 o'clock. the
carpenter who built the shed for DAVIS,
and who was not paid for his work. deter
mined TO solve the mystery and at the
same time to take possession of the lumber
which he had used in the building. In
company with a few friends. he broke
open the door. and to the utter astonish-
ment of all. they found the bones and
parts of the bodies OF at least 40 human
beings, in various stages ofdecomposition.
Parts Of female garments were also found.
some black stockings. and a shirt with a
fine linen bosom much stained with fresh
blood. The n~eighborhood was immedi-
ately thrown into the greatest excitement,
and all kinds of stories were circulated;
persons were said to have disappeared al
various times lately. in different parts Of
the city. When we visited the spot yester.
day, we heard some very positive asser-
tons ofthe actual identity of some of the
bodies having been established. To the
stories however, which arise under such
circumstances, we attach very little i'm.
%portance.
Officer Houlseman arrested Davis and
a German who was said to be in his EN-.
ployment. The shanty was torn to pices
by the excited crowd. and on yesterday
afternoon the Coroner removed all the re-
mains, amounting entirely TO eight barrels
full. The upper end of the city is still
in a very excited state. and OH every stree
and corner an anxious crowd may be
seen. either telling or swallowing eagerly
the most exaggerated and monstrous sto
ries. The principal party concerned i:
now in Jail, and the whole matter will un-
dergo legal investigation. 1t was gene
rally reported that Davis was a prepare,
of skeletons for the Medical College, bu'
we have authentic information that such
is not the fact. In a few days, probably
the public mind will be enlightened on the
whole matter.

TuNBE undersigned, a committee Of publication, on
j. the part Of the Muscogee and Russell Agricul-

riculture and HORTICULTURE, Domestic and Rural

SIN :-After consulting many persons interested in
the principal Rail- Roads in the United States, the
undersigned prcposs 70 establish agencies in this
city and in New York, for the purpose of collect
ing full and authentic Rail- Road statistics and
such other information - will enable them to serve
persons desiring 70 invest in Railroad securities,
or to procure information ofany matters connected
with the construction and administration of Rail
Roads. They also propose. especially, to urge
upon Congress modification Of the laws rslat-
ing to contracts for carrying the mail, to az.
the perpetual use Of Rail Roads, and, instead Of
paying, a. now, quarterly on contracts for foui
years, to advance in ave per cent. bonds of the
United States, chargsabIs upon the revenues Of
the Post Office Departmental an amount, the int
rest upon which at par cent would equal ~
payments now made.
The governmspt gov tayvJS00 per mile for
carrying the mail on first class Railroads. This
is per cent. on IS 900. The undersigned would
mum, the Department should deliver, on acontract
n perpstuity, five 81 900 bonds, bearing an int
rest of five per centum. At this rate the charge
upon the Department would be reduced from $500
to $3.50 mile, per annum, and the $50 per mile
saved would create sinking fund which will, in a
sewyears pay ofthe Bonds and give the use such
roads forever thereafter, free Of all charge there
by efecting vast saving on the present annual
expenditures of the Pc Office Department and
a consequent reduction Of the rates Of postage.
The effect will be no less advantageous to Rail
Road Companies than to the government. For
instance, such contract would give to the BaIti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company more than
", 900 900, which would enable that complete its
road at early day, and greatly increase its bust
ness and profits
But to meet objections and Impress the public
mind with proper sense of the benefits to result
from this measure will require concert Of action
and continued active effort, through the press und
otherwise. The undersigned tender their services
TO your Company, expecting a reasonable COM
pensation, partly contingent upon the success OF
the measure and respectfully suggest the pro-
priety of your sending one or more delegates to
this city, on the first Wednesday in December
next, to confer with delegates from other Rail-
Road Companies, as to the details Of the propos-
ed arrangement and the best mode ofbringing the
subject before Congress.
Hoping to hear from you at your earliest con.
venience, we are, respectfully, your obi serv't.
