Myers was underneath suffering under she
JOINT operation OF sharp claws aud teeth, ap.
piled by the most powerful muscles. In fall
ing however, Myers, whose right hand was at
liberty, had drawn from his belt long knife.
As soon as they came TO the ground, his right
arm being yet free, he made desperate plunge
at the vitals of the animal, and as his good
luck would hav. it, reached his heart. The
loud shrieks of the panther showed that il was
a death wound. He quvered convulsively,
shook his victim with spasmodic leap and
plunge, then loosening his hold, fell poweress
TO the earth. Myers, whose wounds were
severe. but not mortal, rose to his feet, bleed
ing and much exhausted, but with life and
strength enough left 10 give a grand whoop,
which conveyed the news of his victory to his
trembling Indian friends.
They now came up to him with shouting and
JOY, and so full of admiration that they were
almost ready to worship him. They dressed
and bound up his wounds, and were now ready
to pursue their journey home without any
impeachment. Before crossing the river, how
ever, Myers cut off the head of the panther,
which he took home with him. and fastened il
up by the side of his cabin door. where it re.
NAMED years, memorial of deed that
e led the admiration of the Indians in all thai
region. From that time forth, they gave Myers
new name, and always called him the Panther.

.ChiIdren must be Paid For.,

Sweet is the sound of infant voice;
Young innocence is full of charms;
There's not pleasure half so cnoice,
AS tossing up child in arms.
Babyhood is a blessed state,
Felicity expressly made for;
But still, on earth it is our fate,
That even "Children must be paid tor.'
Ifin omnibus we ride,
il Is a beauteous sight to see,
When tuli the vehicle inside,
Age ahing childhood on its knee
Blu In the dog days scorching heat,
When slight breath OF air is pray'd for,
Half suiocated in our seat,
We feel that Children must be paid for"
There is about the sports of youth
A charm that reaches every heart:
Marbles or tops are games of truth,
The bat plays no de ceiver's part,
But If We hear sudden crash,
No explanation need be stay ID for,
We know there's something gone to smash !;
We feel that Children must be paid fol.'
How exquisite the infants grace,
When, cismbering upon the knee,
The cherub, smiling, takes his place
Upon his mother lap at tea
Perchance the beverage flows DER,
Ana leaves a stain there Is no d for,
On carpet, dress, or chair. Once more
We feel that "Chi!dien must be paid for"
Presiding at the festive board.
With many faces laughing round,
Dull melancholy is ignored,
While mirth and jollity abound:
We see our table amply sprt ad
With knives and forks dozen laid for;
Then pause TO think :-"How are they fed ?"
Yes, children must indeed be paid fori

"A Spanish gentleman named Dan Jose de
L'aguno. arrived this morning from Mariposa.
aud states that he and about 6ftv Other fnr.
eigners, comprising Spaniards, ChiDamen.
Maniamen and Nlexicans were forcibIy expel.
led on the 18th instant, from the claims thew
had been working for the last five months. and
which were just beginning TO pay. He had
erected machinery at cost of 81 800, and had
10 abandon all to save his life.
The news of the nomination of Pierce and
King reached San Francisco on the 10th of
July, and created, at first, much SURPRISE
The democrats, however, were tits said, high
ly pleased with the nominations, and forth
with fired $50 guns from the Plaza, in honor of
the occasion. They held large and spirited
ratification meeting on the 18th, at which
strong resolutions, approving The nominations
and the action of the Baltimore Convention
were passed. The democrats of Sacramento
had also held si,nilar meeting, over which
Gov. Bigler presided. The same satisfaction
was there exhibited.
The Fourth Of July was celebrated in San
francisco with great spirit, by long process
SION, oration, fireworks, &c. Conspicuous in
the procession, was long line of Chinese,
richly dressed, and bearing huge national
banner OF crimson silk, upon which was en-
blazoned in golden embroidery the royal dra-
gon. They are said to have expended $l2,-
600 in getting up their portion of the process
sion.
The Chinese continued to arrive in San
francisco in great muliitudes. Nearly 1000
had reached the city within fortnight. They
stopped but short time, and made their way
nj once to the mines. The hostility of the mi
ners towards them appeared TO be abaiing, as
few reports were received of their expulsion
from the mines.
One of the most splendid specimens of gold
ever brought TO San Francisco was dug at
Viacita, Calaveras county, by the present own.

twenty-six pounds. Its value is about S., 400.

CAPT. MARcY's CoMMAND-The South
western (Texas) American, speaking of the re.
ported massacre of Capt. Murcy's command,
says:
We are informed that Gen. Harney has re-
ceived an express from Maj. Sibley, stating
that they are in possession OF such Information
at Fort Graham as to render it mortally certain
that the reports relative to Capt. Marcy are
utterly unfounded.
The officer in pursuit OF the Indians that
stole the horses from Fort Belknap, came
across u large wagon train making towards
Preston. Ii the Indians had captured Capt.
Marcy's train, they would have destroyed the
wagons and not have brought them towards
the settlements. The officer in pursuit OF the
Indians who stole the horses had not been
able TO come up with the thieves.
Maj. S;bley notices in his despatch that the
settlers in the neighborhood OF Fort Graham
have come in for protection, which he has
afforded them.
The following from the N. o. Delta, of the
1lih inst, makesi; morally certain that the
newspapers and their legion OF readers were
cruelty noaxed by the massacre story:
We have been politely furnished with the
following information by u gentleman connect
with the Quarteimaster's department IN this
city: Maj. Homes reports officially from Fort
Washita, under dute Of the 18th July, that the
express man from the Brazos brought the IN
telligenee that Shawnee Indians had come into
Fort Beiknap, in Twelve days, from marcy
command, who we're well. He says this In
telngence is more recent than that OF the
rumored massacre, and iniers that his parry Is
