CARSON VALLEY.-There are but few
settlers in Carson Valley, and most of
those few went there with provisions for
the purpose of trading with the emf,
grants last year. The emigration, how
ever, proved very small, and finding
that it would not pay to transport Their
provisions over the mountains, they were
induced to remain. Many of them have
made permanent settlement in the
valley, and contemplate raising vege,a-
bles for the supply Of the emigrants cx.
pected in the fall tits beautiful VAL
ley, rich in agricultural resources, but
while there are so mary other and more
eligible locations on this side of the
mountains. it cannot be- considered a
desirable place of residence e-particular-
ly as the climate issevere in winter, and
the inhabitants will, for long time to
come, be exposed to the depredations of
Indians, who are numerous in the sur
rounding country. The settlers in this
valley, we believe, have already applied
for admission as territory, and az there
are other large and beautiful valleys
within their boundaries, there is little
doubt but that this region will, in a
few years, have n large and thriving
agricultural population, forming an i'm
portant link between Utah and Califor-
mia. Many of the California emigrants
will. no doubt, be induced to settle in

parents. But why mourn the loss Of
one who has gained SO much. In puri-

gone to better world, where sin and

CoURT oE SEssIoSs.-Peopls VS.. E. B. Lun-
dy, Morse and Morehead. This case came be-
fore the court yesterday, and tho County At
torney entered molte prosequi. The reasons,
as We understand them, are these: The case
has nrendy been twice before the court, and it
would now be almost impossible to get jury
who has mol already expressed an opinion in
the case, and as the pecuniary affairs of the
county are somewhat dsrnnged, its further
prosecution could have no other effect than to
ran the county to an additional expense -
Moreover, as other men, even high in author
ty, have been allowed to go out and shoot at
each other to their satisfaction, and no at
'empttmads to bring them to justice. the law
against duelling is regarded as dead letter.

Further Particulars of the Eruption.

Accounts concerning the late volcan-
ic eruption on Mauna Loa were receiv-
ed in Honolulu to the End of March,
The Polynesian says that
"By an accurate measurement of the
enormous jet Of glowing lava where it
first broke forth on the side of Mauna
I.oa, it was sscertained to be 500 feet
high This was upon the supposition
that it was 80 miles distant. We are
of the opinion that it was a greater dis.
tance, say from 40 to 60 miles. With
glass, the play of this jet. at night,
was distinctly observed, and more SUBJ
lime sight can scarcely be imagined
A column of molten lava. glowing with
the most intense heat, and projected in
to the air to distance of five hundred
feet, was sight so rare, and at the
same time so awfully grand, as to excite
the most lively feelings of awe and I'D.
miration, even when viewed at dis
tance of 40 or so miles. The diameter
of this jet is supposed to be over a hun
dred feet In some places this river is
a mile wide and in others more contrac-
ted. At some points, it has filled up ra-
vines of 100, 200 and 300 feet in depth ;
and still it flowed on. 1t entered a
heavy forest, and the giant growth of
centuries are cut down before it, like
grass before the mowers sythe No OBJ
stacle can arrest it in its descent to the
sea. Mounds are covered Over-ravines
are filed up-forests are destroyed, and
the habitations of men are consumed
like fax in the furnace. Truly, "He
touchcth the hills and they smoke"
We have not yet heard of any destruc-
ton of life from the eruption now in
progress. A rumor has reached US that
a small native village has been destroy
ed, but Of this we have no authentic in
telligence."
Two vessels had sailed for Hilo, both
filed to their utmost capacity with peo-
pie who desired to witness this great
eruption.
"Thc eruption seems to have broken
out through an old fssure, about one
third down the side of Mauna Loa,
on the northwest side, and not from the
old crater On the summit, called Moku-
oweoweo. The altitude Of the present
eruption is about 10000 feet above the
level of TIE sea, and from the bay of
Hilo, (Byron's Bay) must be some 60
or 70 miles, II it succeed in reaching
the ocean at the point supposed, after
having filed up all the ravines gulches
and inequalities of very broken coun-
try, it will undoubtedly be one of the
most extensive eruptions Of modern
times.

HoBBs BEFORE THE LONDON Society OF

HoBBs BEFORE THE LONDON SOCIETY OF
ARrs.-Mr. Hobbs, in lecture before
the Society Of Aris, in London, gave the
following statement of the manner in
which he picked the Bramah lock:
He said that his first step had been
to take an impression Of the hole in wax
He had originally supposed that each
slide had its spring, but he found him
self mistaken in that surmise. Having
contrived the necessary implements, he
pressed down the disc, which left him
ut liberty to work on the slides; intro
duced lever to the key hole, and ap-
piled pressure to the cylinder felt the
slides successively, pressed them in the
false notches, and succeeded in loosen
ing the cylinder, and the lock was pick
ed. He had never seen the inside OF Il
Bramah lock before his experiments
had never tried to pick one and he en-
tertains no doubt that, with his present
experience, he could repeat the process
in an hours time.
In conclusion, MI. Hobbs said he had
never made a lock, and never practiced
picking o great deal; and he astonished
his English auditors by saying that he
knew more expert lock-pickers than
himself

Execution by Vigilance Committee.


We have received an extra from the
Office Of the Calaveras Chronicle, giving
an account Of the arrest and execution
of one Carlos Esla,a. by the Vigilance
Committee, at Mokelumne Hill, on
Thursday last. For some time previous
robberies to IN alarming extent had
been committed at Mokelumne Hill and
vicinity Tents were cut open and
robbed when least expected, and when
the owners were but short distance
from them. At length circumstances es
tended to attract attention to Eslava, who
was several times seen in rather sus-
picious proximity to tents and houses
that had been robbed, upon which occa-
sions he managed to get off by pretend
ing to be drunk. lie was arrested on
ednesday afternoon, by the Vigilance
Committee, charged with having COM
mitted several robberes, among the
rest, of purse containing $500, which
was stolen from a MIR. Perkins, on Corral
Flat, Tuesday morning.
The committee proceeded to try the
prisoner, who still pretended to be drunk
until his guilt was proven by unequivo-
cal testimony, when he threw off his
disguise, and confessed the truth of every
charge that had been substantiated
Every effort was made by the commit
tee to obtain information in relation to
his accomplices, but he remained obsti-
nately silent upon every point that might
tend to implicate others. After q long
and tedious trial. which lasted until
near three o'clock on Thursday morning,
he was sentenced to be hung. He ex-
hibited throughout the utmost coolness
and indifference. The sentence was
carried into execution on Thursday af-
ternoon in presence of between eight
hundred and thousand per.ons.
"The rope having been adjusted, at
exactly five minutes of three, the sig
nal was given, and the scaffold being
suddenly pulled from under him, Eslava
was launched into eternity. He dropped
about three and half feet, but not
withstanding this his neck was not bro
ken. He struggled violently for some
moments, and, pinioned as were his
arms, he reached up and caught hold of
the rope above the knot, evidently try
ing to release himself Vain hope, how
ever, he only drew the rope tighter round
his neck, Fastening thus his own death.
At quarter past three, the physicians
pronounced him dead, but it was deci-
ded to let him hang ten minutes longer.
At the end of this time, a committee of
Eve were appointed to take charge of
the body and bury it, which was done
at the base of Stockton Hill. Thus
ended tragedy which, however much
some may deprecate it, was perhaps alb
solutely necessary to the well being of
our citizens and the community at large.
Every thing went off with the Utmost
quiet No excitement existed, nor did
Eslava seem to have single friend who
had sufficient moral courage 10 come
forward and condole with him in his
emergency, or even to bid him good bye.
He was native Of Sonora in Mexico"

ROBBERY AT OPHIR.-We learn, thro
Gregorys Express, that on Wednesday
night miners cabin in the immediate
vicinity of Ophir was entered, and above
$4,000 in gold dust stolen from the place
where it had been concealed. The mo-
ney had been buried directly under the
bed, in large tin canister, which con-
tanned twenty-five ounces of specimens,
in two bags the remainder fine dust,
also in bags. Everything shows the rob-
berry to have been committed by some
one well acquainted with the premises,
but no reasonable suspicion has yet at.
tached to any person. There is much
excitement on the subject in Ophir, and
also in Auburn. What makes the case
one of peculiar sympathy, is the fact
that the same men, Messrs. Aparo and
Williams, not long since lost nearly an
equal amount, by the failure of bank
ing house in which their earnings had
been deposited on interest. A reward
Of five hundred dollars is offered for in
formation which shall lead to the dis
covery Of the money.
