Late News from California.

The steamship Northern Light arrived
at New York, on Saturday the 25th inst,
bringing thirteen days later news from
California. The Northern Light brings
262 passengers, and about 100000 in
gold. Col. II. P. Walker, the Presiden
Of the new Republic of Sonora has been
arrested and held to bail for fIlibustering
by the U. s. Marshal. The political
news is not of much interest. The sea
of Government has been removed from
Benicia to Sacramento. In all sections o.
the mining region, the news is good
miners are doing well, and the quantity
of gold to be taken out during the spring
promises to be very heavy. 1t is increas
ing with astonishing rapIdity, and bust
ness is rapidly reviving.

Attem JteG seduction ana SUMMARY Huh-
iShmeRt
On the 2nG ult., much excitement was
created at the ST. Charles Hotel, in ST.
Louis, in consequence Of the severe and
summary punishment of man named
Hoffman charged with the attempt 10 Sc
Luce the wife of Wilson e. Baker, keep
er of a grocery store in that city. 1t ap'
pears that Hoffman is man of superior
education, fine accomplishments, ana very
popular among his acquainlances with Mrs
Baker, the result Of which is thus stated
by the ST. Louis Intelligencer of the End
ultimo
"He was untring in his attentions, car
ryng them so far as to accompany her to
theatres and places Of amusements, and
more than once insisted upon making her
presents. At length, haYing mistaken her
politeness for partialitylfor him, he made
some indicate advances, which she re-
pulsed and informed her husband. Hott,
man still persisting in visiting her at the
St. Charles Hotel, the husband wrote a
note, warning him of his displeasure. He
then gave his wife a loaded pistol, direct
ing her TO shoot Hoffman, should he pre-
sumo to renew his addresses. Unfortu-
nately on yesterday morning, Hoffman
again made his appearance at tie hotel,
and sought Mrs. Bakers room. Eo had
hardly entered when she fired TWICE, bat
being frightened at the moment missed
him. He turned, and ran down the stairs
into the street. Bakers friends, Messrs.
Smith, Burroughs and Hawle, who board
ed, with their families, in the house, pur-
sued and overlook him, and, leading him
up stairs, confined him in room, and
sent for Baker at his grocery store, nca!
Buckmasle r's ferry. Arriving the house
with the assistance Of the others, he stripped
Hoffman and tied him down to the bed
with strong rope. He then procured a
couple of cow-hdes, whipped him IN
Ill one of them was worn out, and then
fell upon him with the other. The victim
received hundreds of stripes his back
was flayed by The unceasiag application
of the lash, and Baker ceased only when
he was PROSTATE and halfdying, TO con-
summatc his revenge by rdicting shock
ing wound with his knife upon the scro-
tum. The wound will not, in the opin-
ion of the physician who was called IN.
endanger life. Hoffman was removed
10 the Sisters Hospital, and although his
injuries will long conine him, It's thought
he will recover. Baker and the other
three were arrested and held TO bail"

& CARD,

Mn EDITOR In your last paper observe the
following The fire th" other day 1t IS thought
originated by the burning Of garden trash when
the wind was high" The allusiOn IS TO the gar
den Of the undersigned and the facts as follows
Not being aware of any Ordinance on the sub
iect. had fire in my garden according to a gen
eral custom of the town. 1t was made about 10
o'clock in the morning, there being very little
wind at that time, and that nearly from the
South. The fire on the two squares most
remote from Mr.. Bradshaw's lot. On the
South square there was very little, the material
burned being exclusively half dccayed straw
which had been carried out as manure. 1t was
not in heap but thnly spread upon the ground
and damp, SO that it went out IN few minutes.
On the North square and within ~ feet OF my
Garden gate, on the alley, the straw was gather
ed into heap and burned, hut being also damp
! there was more smoke than fire. No sparks
were carried up or could have been from the ma
! ture Of the material, nor from the direction OF
the wind could q spark have been carried to any
part of Mr.. Bradshaw's lot much less TO his
! shop. The fire was not only out but the ground
on which it had been was spadcd before II o.
clock. | was present the whole time MIR.
| Clemens, who had done the sPad;ng, had been
to dinner, returned and been at work about a
! quarter of an hour when he saw smoke bursting
out Of the cracks of Mr.. Bradshaw'I shop, and
gave the alarm. This was after | o'clock
went Immediately through Mr.. BIS garden the
| East door Of the shop was closed, the shop being
evidently full OF fire within. ! asked Mrs Is.
how it caught, she said sit got atire III the shop"
That the fire did commence there IS | believe
doubted by no one. That it could have got into
the shop from my garden and remained there
so long time before 1t broke out, is very UNI
! likely tale. SO far from it, had Mr. Brad
shaw's lot been covered with gun-powder, it
would not have been ignted from my garden on
/ that day. Z. w, ANDRLNS'

The undersigned have been upon the ground.
and also examined Mr. Clemens, and been at
pains to ascertain all the facts touching the To-
cation, material, and amount Of fire, and time
of its extinction, which taken in connection with
the direction Of the wind, render it, m our
judgement, impossible that any damage could
have resulted from the fire in Mr.. Andrews gar
den, JOSEPH NLLSuAA?,
