A large emigration TO California

A letter in the New York Herald
from Valparaiso, gives more minute
particulars, it says:
There has been a terrible commo-
tion among the State prisoners at the
Straits of Magellan. Banished from
their homes on account Of political
and other offenses, they got up a rev

The Tax LAw.-The Legislator

The TAX LAw.-The Legislature
as yet have not passed the Tax Law.
Nothing can be done in the way OF
making assessments till the new law
is received. From present indica-
ton we think it may be safely calcu-
lated that blanks will be ready for
Assessors Immediately after harvest.
The present Legislature is determin-
ed TO do an unjust and illegal act by
taxing the U. States and Ohio bonds
and they must have time 10 screw
their courage up to the sticking
point. Don't complain, the Legisla-
ture is largely Democratic and the
Constitution is in the hands OF IFS
friends.

A Gambler Lynebed-scene en- the slIssIss-
slPPi.

sIPPI.
We learn that a gambler Of the
name of Williamson suffered the
penalties of Lynch Law at Hickman
a few days since. al The hands Of the
passengers Of the steamer st. PGGLc
1t appears that a party Of returned
Calilornians started for St. Louis on
the boat from New Orleans, but as
the boat was about leaving port a
police officer came on board and
cautioned the passengers 10 beware
of gamblers and pickpockets during
the trip, at the same time informing
them that several Of the fraternity
were on the boat. This made the
Calilornians extremely cautious, and
wary Of the approaches Of their fel-
low passengers.
Some distance above Memphis,
this man, Williamson, who had tried
every means to ingratiate himself
with the Californians, and finding
every project failed, attempted to
induce one Of the gold diggers to
visit a state room in which he said a
female, disguised in male apparel,
was concealed. This effort also
failed, but finally he was persuaded
to visit WIS state room. to try bottle
of fine brandy. He drank some OF
the liquor, which almost Immediate
ly made him SICK, and he rushed into
the cabin crying out that he was
poisoned.
Itappears that the liquor had been
drugged with morphine. The Cali
fornian, alter his recovery from the
effects of the drug, attempted to
shoot Williamson with pistol, and
pursued him all over the boat. The
captain interfered, and paci6ed the
passengers by telling them he would
set Williamson on shore at the first
convenient landing. The boat
stopped at Hickman, and the passen-
gers then took the law in their own
hands, and seizing their victim pro-
ceeded TO the woods, tied him to a
tree, and gavo hir, si-rfy- seren lashes
on his bare back, and turned him
loose. Our informant states that
e every blow brought the blood from
J the poor wretch, whose screams
could be heard a mile.
: The man who was thus summarily
: deal: with was represented to be
rather tall, and genteelly dressed
with a scar on the end OF his nose,
j as il a small piece had been taken
of. This fully answers the descrip-
: ton of a gambler Of the name oI
!, "Jef. williamson" who is well
I known in this city, having formerly
{ lived here.-Cin. Eng.
