HORRIBLE MURDER IN CALIFuRNIA.-W We
condense from the MarysviIIe Herald, an
account Of some shocking murders re.
Gently committed in that vicinity:
Scarcely had we announced IN our
last the murder of two mon, when we
heard of the murder ofthree more, about
three miles from Natchez, on Hnncut
creek. Seven men have been murdered,
within three or four days. in a region of
country only about twelve miles in extent
At the Honcut Rancho, was found the
body Of man, recognized as George
Mather, teamsteI, who had been en-
gagged in carrying goods to the mines.
He was from Boston or vicinity. Two
other bodies were found about one hun
dred yards from Mather's body. One Of
them, whose name is supposed to be
Jenkison, had seventeen stabs. The 9th.
er, whose name appears TO be Gardner,
had his throat cut.-lie was also young
man. The pockets of both were riAed.
"P. S.-We learn that six other men
have been found murdered. near the same
place. The men appear to have been
killed by the same means. We have
been called upon to chronicle the murder
of seventeen fellow beings in the course
Of few days. The Sheriff, Mr. Il. b.
Buchanan, aud his posse, went out to the
Sonoran Camp, hearing that three of the
men suspected of the recent murders
were there. and was shot in the back
near the spine, aud it is feared mortally
wounded. There is great excitement in
the city, and parties are leaving for the
camp"

Mn. GAYS REsIGNATIoN.-The Wash.
ington correspondent of the Philadelphia
North american thus refers to the resig.
nation of Mr.. Clay:
"Mr. CIay's resignation. to which my
telegraphc despatch last night referred,
is qualified and not tot Ike effect until next
September, the object being to allow the
Legislature, which is now in session, to
elect successor for the residue of the
term. An authoritative communication
on this subject was addressed and mail
ed TO the Governor of Kentucky this
morning, which will be forthwith sub.
mitted to the Legislature. Thus, then
we may contemplate the sitting of thai
sun which has so long Illuminated the
American horizon, and which in its going
down it still gilds with parting glores
regret to say that Mr.. Clays condition
to-day is by no means improved He is
sensitive to the least effort, and the sudden
and severe change of the last few days
has.been'ot disadvantage to his enfee
bled system."

FoRGED KossUTH CoNTRIBUTIoNs.-
Some Of the contributions SO literally re.

to be forgery against those whose
names have been used. The following
1000 is of this character: Seabury BIews.
ter 500, Sherman Brownel $50, Isaac r.
Coward $50. Checks were drawn for
these amounts payable to NJ. Kossuth,
and deposited in the Mechanics Bank
for collection, where NJ. Kossuth keeps
his funds. On being presented at the
banks whose names were used there were
no funds to meet them, aud they were
pronounced fraudulent.

SINGULAR DEATH-.The AIIeghan

SINGULAR DEATH.-.The Allegheny
Enterprise of recen; date says:
1t is our painful province to record the
death Of Frederick Miller, an estmable
and worthy lad, who came to work as a
compositor in this office, three months
since. His disease, lead fever, was one
of rarity, seldom soizing any save prin
ters and painters. Tie had contracted a
practice which all new beginners are
cautioned against, that of putting type in
his mouth while spacing out" lines, and
recently swallowed, accidentally, some
small pieces. This and the frequent p.
plcation oftype to his lips, combined
was the cause OF his death.

NoIsE AND CONrUsIoN.-The Democ

The fight between the friends of Allen
and Cass was particularly savage. We
were not present, but learn that hard
words aud sharp words were for some
time the order of the day. The official
report as published in the Statesman dis.
poses Of the case as follows: -Jo0,nal
"Mr. Rankin moved to insert in the
place Of the Hon. VIM Allen the name
of General Lewis Cass; which amend
mont created some discussion, which
gave rise TO several spicy speeches, and
beiure any final action was had upon the
resolution and amendment, a motion was
offered to adjourn, which being seconded
and carried, the Convention adjourned

The PUBLIC PRINTING. "A rumOr has
been travelling around the press for some
days, to the effect that an effort would be
made by the majority Of the Legislature
10 give the printing ofthe coming session

expressly provides that it shall be given
to the "lowest bidder" We regarded it

leads Us to believe that an attempt of The
kind will be made. Whether majority

nifty to erect a Monument on the Tippe

Of the order of that Stale, has extended
his researches far and wide, ia gathering

at one time stood at the head fthe Order

The Battle Ground of Tippecanoo is
about seven miles from Lafayette. The
late Gen. Upton, who was also partici'
pant in that battle, presented the ground
to the State, and it was afterwards en-,
closed by board fence, which is now
almost entirely gone. leaving the battle

Legislature to erect suitable monument

is not done. few years more will leave
nothing to mark the spot where our he.

carry out the noble design, and build a
monument on the spot, which will be an
honor to the Oder aud proud monu.

The tariff movement in Pennsylvania

The friends of Mr.. Buchanan backed in
their old tariff views, by the well known
predictions of their leader, are moving
throughout the whole mineral region oI
the Stale--giving new impetus to the
friends of an increased duty on iron
which may or may not result in an addi.
tional duty of ten per cent ad oaloram

to give Mr.. Buchanan the State in con.
