Our PREDEcEssoR.-The friends of R
7. Van Horn, Esq, will be pleased to learn
that he is still making some noise in the
world. From the proceedings of mass
meeting Of the mechanics of Cincinnati, held
in Fifth street market-space, to adopt meas
ures relative to the Printers strike, we cliI
the following:
"Mr. Van Horns speech was character
lied by an intelligent and humorous state
ment of existing affairs in>the trio of Rat
offices, the character, capability, and cir
cumstances of the employees, male and fe
male, with various amusing anecdotes anc
illustrations concluding with an earnest ap
peal to the public to discontinue their sup
port to the Commercial, Columbian and Ga
zette."
Van appeared to take an active part il
troubles of the craft. We observed hi
name frequently during the heat of the con
test. We understand he is now near Lou
isville, in profitable employment, and doinl
well. Glad to hear it.

Capture of Joaquin---o niciui Report

First Leut Connor of the Rangers arrived
in Stockton this evening for the purpose of pro-
curing the necessary material for the efectual
preservation of the head of Joaquin and hand of
Three Fingered Jack" We are indebted 10
Lieut.. Connor for minnie and official report Of
the capture, made by Capt. Love, from which
make the extracts annexed.
The prisoner has confessed that Joaqpn
when attacked. was on hls road from San Diego
to the mines, with the intention of making
more toray upon the Chinese and Americans
and then returning TO Sonora.
The report that, at the time of the capture,
Capt. Burns commanded the Rangers is ncor-
rect. They were commanded by, Capt. Love
in person.
Capt Harry Love reports that on the 25fh of
July he encountered the notorious robber Joa-
quin Muriatta, wi his band. on the Arroyo Con-
tuga near the coast range of mountains on the
Tulare plains. When he discovered Joaquin he
encamped on the above river and appeared
to have made some hard marcl cs. previously,
Judging from the laded appearance Of Their
horses On being perceived by some of The
company, Joaquin was Immediately recog
niZed, and on his being aware of the fact, imme
diately sprang to his horse and endeavnred TO
escape; he wasclosely pursued by some Of the
company and his horse shot from under hiin-
when he took to flight on foot, and being wonnG-
ed some of the men shot him dead before he bad
gone far. In the mean time others OF the
pany were pursuing The remaining part Of the
band who fought braveiy while retreaiiug EACH
being armed with two sx-shooters- Three ,f
their number Were killed and two made prison
ers. while the remainder escaped. Immediately
after returning from the pursuit, Joaquin and
one of his principal men were beheaded, and
Capt. Burns and Jno. Sylvester were despatched
to Fort Miller being the nearest point, with the
heads. in order to be put III spirits for preserya-
ton The head of .Joaquin's lieutenant
spoiled on account of being shot through the
skull, and it was necessary to bury 1t at Fort
Miller.
There is not the least doubt that the head
now in Captain Loves possession is that of the
noted Joaquin Muriatta. the chief and leader of
the murderers and robbers of the Calaveras,
Mariposa and other sections Of the State. The
prisoner in Jail in Mariposa acknowledged
such to be the fact.-.San Joaquin Republican.

DEsEcRArIoS.-The City Sexton of San Fran
cisco says that since the first of January last,
large number of bodies have been stolen from
the grave; how many cannot be told. One
voupg man, name unknown, taken away
and has never been found One young lady,
name unknown, the same. One yonng lady
was taken ont, and her body afterwards
found in mutiated condition. When the ma
ture of the mutilatiou was named, 1t seemed TO
the writer so mouStrous, that nothing conceisa-
bic can be more so. Language utterly fails to
describe the deep damnation that should be Wis
ted on the wretch so low. so fiendish, so lost to
all shame. decency and self respect. to be
guilty o. so scandalous an outrage. Eight bod
les svere found in one day, concealed among tie
bushes five of whom were females.

Churntown Correspondence.
CHURyTowN. August !

CHURSTowN. August 7, 1853.
MEssRs EDITORS AS there are several state
ments in circulation in regard to the late mas
sacre of the Indians at Churntown, we deem it
only just to state the following. On the day that
the Chinese camp was attacked and robbed,
and the two Cinnamon murdered, the miners
there assembled, aud consulted on the wisest
course to pursue. They resolved to go to the
nearest Indian Rancheria and take prisoners for
hostages until the guilty parties were brought
in, or reliable information of their whereabouts
obtained.
This course. il was thought, might serve to
show the Indians little of our adherence to
the shedding of human blood. and would also
teach them that would not allow TO pass with
impunity such wanton robbery and murder in
our very midst, especially where defenceless
woman reside-for they are alone wien their
husbands are at work. Accordingly party of
miners went and took five Indians prisoners
and we gave them and their friends TO under
stand, that if our demands were not complied
with within two days, that would shoot the
prisoners. Yet none of us had that intention.
On tue Cofttdiy we Hdu tcttiiHiHCu 'Edt IL tHC
guilty parties were brought ia, 10 hand them
over to the authorities OF the civil law for pun
ishment. These prisoners were guarded by the
Cinnamon that night, and on the following
morning fresh guard of ten Cinnamon was
placed over them. 1t was then that the Indians,
sgpposing that all the white men were gone
from the camp rose upon The Chinese, wrested
their guns from them, and would have killed
some of them, bnt fortunately for human life,
ere the first veil had subsidized, Messss. John A.
Feriney and John Cory were on the ground.
and at the imminent risk of their lives sue
ceeded in tlisarming the Indians and securing
three of the prisoners while the other two
caped No violence was used to the prisoners
before this, and then only as much as was
though conducive to personal safety and the Sc
curtv of the prisoners. The remaining prison
ers were released at the instance of Mr. Heating.
who was sent bv the Sacramento tribe and de-
sired to ntercede. who promised on their be-
half to discover and endeavor 10 bring to JUS
tice the guilty parties. We have since learned
through the same source that it Dick In
dians a, quick & Johnson's Ranch. who done
the deed. and that some OF the Chinese proper
ty has since been found amongst them. The
above are facts which the Sheriff and other re-
spectacle gentlemen can witness for.

THE NAVIGATION OF THE AMAZON orEsEDZ

IHE NAVIGATION OF THE AMAZON OPESEB-
LIBERAL PoLIcY OF BRAZIL AND PERU.-The
River Amazon is likely to be opened to steam
navigation much sooner than was expected
and. if it is freely opened, it will be the great
event of the day. General Echenique, the Pres
ident of Peru, has already taken steps on behalf
OF that government, to put on the Amazon two
iron steamers each to cost about 500, ,000
whose business is to be the explo ration of the
river and its branches. All nations are 10 en-
Joy the benefit of this trade and commerce. The
