ATTEMPT AT MURDER.-On Tuesday morning,
short time before daylight, the dodgers at the
Canon House were awakened from their sleep
by the distressed cries of couple of Cinnamon
bnt short distance from the house. They were
found horribly mutilated and tied to the wheel
of wagon in which they had been sleeping.
One of them had cut across the throat, intend
ed to be fatal, but happily proving not very Sc
rious; the other had his head and face cut in a
most shocking manner, and which almost pre-
cludes the possibility of his recovery. When it
is recollected that there were probably not less
than twenty men sleeping within fifty yards of
the scene of this murderous attack, it will be ac-
knowledged one of the most daring outrages
ever heard of in this community. Several per-
sons in the immediate vicinity heard the scuf-
fling and cries of the Cinnamon fifteen or twen-
ty minutes before any assistance was rendered
them, but as they could not understand what
they were saying, supposed it the effects of a
drunken frolic. One of the Cinnamon had his
belt, containing three hundred dollars, cut from
his body.
We understand that three men were arrested
at Tehama on suspicion Of being the robbers.
They were TO have been examined before Justice

Treasure shipmem,,.

The Treasure shipped by the two last steam
ers, amounted to but 1888, 800 %, being $780,
sos less than was shipped the same period last
year. We are glad to perceive this marked de-
cline in the heretofore immense shipments of
gold dust to the east Instead of arguing cor
responding decrease in the yield of our mines,
many persons will conclude, it goes far to
prove that California is less dependent to-day
than she was year since. We risk but little
in predicting that hereafter, as our farmers and
manufacturers begin to throw into market a
home produce, shipments of the precious metal
will rapidly attain a still greater reduction
When that day arrives, every branch of busi-
ness in California must necessarily acquire a
far more healthy condition than that heretofore
exhibited-the legitimate result of more
abundant supply of the circulating medium in
our midst. The policy of sending off by regular
semi monthly shipments, the greater portion of
the produce of our mines, retaining but modi-
cum for home circulation. has proved snicidal
to the true and permanent interests of our State.
We shall, therefore, hail any further reduction
IN these shipments, as a sure augury of an in
creasing substantial prosperity.

ARRIVAL OF THE CALIFORNIA.
Wreck Of the Wiuneld Scott:

We learn from the telegrlphic report of the
Marysville Herald of the 9th inst, that the
steamer California had arrived that morning at
San Francisco, bringing the mails of the 5th
Nov, and 500 passengers, including II ladies.
By the California we have the painful intel
ligence of the wreck of the Winfield Scott, on
her way TO Panama. The following are the
particulars of her loss -
On Friday night. Dec. 2, at IL o'clock, theWin-
field Scott struck upon a rock the island OF
Anacapa, of Santa Barbara, about 35 miles OFT.
She first struck bow on then with her stern,
then with her side, carrying away her rudder.
A great deal of confusion created on board.
The fog was dense, weather calm; and by
past the boats were lowered and first filled
with women and children, who were safely lam
ded, the beach being but short distance off.
In this way all on board were taken ashore, and
they were amply provided with provisions from
the wreck. The California brought five passen-
gers, two children and the purser. The remain
der were left on the island, where they had bu,
one tent. The wreck of the steamer was left
hanging on the rock by the bow, her stern being
in fathoms of water. She will be total loss
and must 60 to pieces in The next storm. The
passengers had experienced no suffering. except
that Of mind. Treasure and valuables all saved.

ting the duties of fiscal officers found true bills
against the ex-Tax Collector, Lewis Teal, the ex-
Comptroller, Roderick Mattheson and the pres
ent City Treasurer, Hamilton Bowie. The in
dictments were quashed by the Court, however,
upon the ground that two of the Jurors were
aliens. The cases were then made subject to
another investigation at the hands of new and
legal jury when, if it prove as honest as the
first, and these officers do not defend themselves
by facts, instead of with pistols and threats as
they have attempted, they will doubtless re-
ceive that reward which should ever follow the
footsteps of the untaithful and dishonest public

Salmon kiycr Correspondence.

SoUTH SALMON RIVER, Nov. 2S 1853.
EDS. CoURIER:-My heart almost sinks with
in me when come to narrate to you the sad
occurrences of last evening. at the trading post
of Trick & Crambangh. Between the hours OF
6 and in the evening, a man by the name OF
John Murphy, formerly of Boston, entered the
house, apparently slightly intoxicated. In pass
ing to the back part of the room, he abnsed sev-
eral persons, and there addressed himself partc-
nlarly to young man by the name of Antony
Walton formerly of Iowa. who was acting as
cook in the establishment. Some words passing
between them, Murphy struck Walton with his
hand in the face, when general row COM
menced, resulting in the death of both Murphy
and Walton. Walton received four stabs in his
breast, two penetrating the lungs one on each
side; the others We're quite superficial, the ribs
ntercepting the point of The knife. He survived
but few minutes Murphy received seven balls
through different parts of his person; three en-
tering the anterior and one the posterior part of
the head; the latter causing instantaneous death.
Walton killed by Murphy, and Murphy by
VIM J. Trick. who acted in defence of Walton
and his house. He Immediately gave himself
up for trial, the proceedings of which send en-
closed, and after full and fair investigation,
triumphantly acquitted of all blame in the
matter. send you herewith the proceedings
of the trial. Yours, &c.
