A sad Occurrence.

On Thursday evening of last week, Mr..
Nj. w. ROGERS, an industrious and worthy
mechanic # McLeansboro, Hamilton county,
met with his death, by drowning, under
these circumstances:
He to k passage on the steamer Summit,
at night, from this place to Evansville, and
when the boat had left the wharf and cross
ed over to the Kentucky shore by some mis-.
haps fell overheard and after swimming a
considera BILE distance sunk. His life might
have been easily saved had there been yawl
attached TO the boat. But having nothing or
the kind and it being night, no assistance
could be rendered him ere il was too late
By this sad accident wife is rendered hus-
bandless, and four small children deprived of
a fathers protection. A home is thus made
desolate, We may say, through the pslpable
me- ligence of some one in not having the
steamer supplied with yawl or other small
boat
Mr.. r. was carrying on the sadding bust
ness at McLeonsboro, and had left home for
the purpose Of visiting Evansville to adjust
some unsettled business OF his there, and to
lay in new stock of trade, buoyant with
bright hopes for the future, no doubt. But
alas a sad fate awaited him. Such i:
life.
The body of the deceased has not yet beer
recovered; (he had on blue blanket coat
in the side pocket of which is sewed up some
/ 100 or $50 d 'llars ;)-it is quite probable thai
it will be found at some point below here -
Any information respecting it will be thank
fully received by the widow and friends.

California News,
The New York Times makes the follow

The New York Times makes the follow
ing mention of the California news:
The news from California this morning is
painfully interesting. 1t turns not upon the
immense yield of gold, for the receipts are
only two millions, but on the restitution
which prevails universally in the mining
district in consequence of the disastrous
floods that have laid the country waste
The operations at the mines have been in
many cases suspended from sheer want OF
the ne.essaries OF life. Provisions were
still advancing in price, and the state of the
roads leading into the interior afforded but
little prospect of speedy supply from the
seacoast.
Beyond this I'm fortunate condition Of af-
! fairs, the country is prosperous. The subsi-
dence of the waters will give fresher i'm
pulse to the business enterprise of its citi-
zens. and the next arrival, we may hope,
will convey more cheerful tidings. BY the
same arrival, we have additional advces from
the Pacific Islands and the Oregon coast
The papers however are barren. Travel on
the isthmus has greatly improved by tn" con-
clusion of the rainy season. The passen-
gers by the Panama route, crossed from the
Pacific to the Atlantic in the short space oil
tw' nty hours.
TIE Legislature assembled on the 18th
ult., but at the time Of the steamers sal inc
had done nothing. The Governor, in his
message recommends Convention for the
revision of the Constitution in reference, il
is supposed, to the division of me State. and
the question of slavery. Over Sl,700000 in
gold was shipped from San Francisco, which
with the sum in the hands of passengers
will swell the amount to over 8! 0000 900
A report is prevalent in Stockton thai
some miners attacked train of wag ms il
Mariposa county and rifed them Of all the
provisions they contained. This, says the
Journal, must not be wondered ut nor too
strongly condemned, as it is the sur Of star
vation that drives men to such crimes. Thei
lives depend on the stake, and men will rescr
to any extreme to satisfy the demands of ma
, ture. From other quarters the record i
, equally discouraging, but more particularly
from Calaveras county, where the deprivation
, il most heartrendng. A gentleman of on
acquaintance in'orms Us that, riding out a
, short distance from town, a few days since, h,

To the Public.
La GRANGE, Feb. lat.

La GRANGE, Feb. 18th, 1858.
We the undersigned citiZ ms of La Grange,
have noticed a statement in the Louisville
Daily Courier" of this date, in reference to
the action of the Grand Jury of Oldham coun-
ty, IN their investigation OF the means by
Which WIN. Howard escaped trt m the all OF
said county. The "Courcr" states that
John Wheeler, the assistant jailo or guard,
was held to bail, &c., "insiead OF being
| odged in the same jiil,' &c. Now we deem
Il Justice and right to correct the said state
ment, by saying that Mr.. Wheeler was not
assistant rilor or a guIrd, nor never has been
"onnec'ed with either OF said offices. MIR.
Wheeler is man of un Improbable in.egri-
| ty, and has always, from his infancy, con-
Quoted himself SD as never to bring reproach
u pom his fair name. We are satisfied that he
can OIL the trial Of the indictment, abund-
autly and clearly establish his innocence in
this affair, to all unprejudiced minds. We
hope, there ore, that all persons will sus-
pend their jud sment until after the trial
which comes off in June next
| 1t will be understood that the evidence be-
fore a Grand Jury is for the commonwealth
alone, and the accused can only establish hi
Innocence upon the trial before p tit jurl
of his country. Mr.. Wheeler, it seems, ha
: been indicted by the testimony of one wit
t ness only, and he one of the guard, who
, | revise indicted for msdemeanor, in neg
8 gently permitting Howard to escape, and W
= are assured that some two o. three of tn
Grand Jury were opposed to returning an in
1t dctment against w eeler, because they di
not believe the testimony suffi iently certai
or clear, to justify the CONCLUSION that Vince
a err had any hand in the affair. We have mad
- this statement unsolicited, because of ii
high respect we have for Mr.. Wheeler al
= his family, who are all of high respectable.
r. We also hope the public will suspend the
r. opinion in relation to Thos. Head, the jailC
,iy Who is also one of the accused. We ha'
known Mr.. Head long, and have always e
teemed him as a gentleman, and We are a
sured that he will establish his innocence
vn soon as ne can have the charges investigat
nd before jury of his country.
