Mr.. EDITOR Can you inform your
readers when the next election for Direc-
tors of the Franklin and Warren Rail
Road Company takes place? Why have
not the Stockholders of Ashland county
been notified through the columns of our
county papers? Would it not be well
for the stockholders of this county to
hold a meeting, and appoint a suitable
person or persons to attend the next cleo
ton and cast their votes, and, at the
same time, to ascertain, if possible,
whether or not the Road is to be built,
and what amount of money has been paid
in, how expended, and generally to OBJ
tain information as to the management
and prospects of the road ?
Any information you a give, or any
suggestions you may make, will be as
thankfully received by the public as by

To THE WOOL-GROWERS OF ASH.
LAND COUNTY.

Fellow CITIZENS The Wool-G Grow
ers of the County of Ashland, believing
that there has been a combination en-
tered into by the wool buyers and man
ufacturers for the purpose of obtaining
our wool at ~ruinously low prices, and
for the purpose of getting up a panic
among the wool-growers, have filled our
mails with Circulars addressed to mer-
chants and groeerymen, all over the
country, to. be shown to woolgrowers,
quoting the price of wool at from 20 to
IS cents per pound and stating that
there would be no money forwarded to
purchase wool this season, and that we
must depend upon our merchants at
home for a market and thus effectually
shutting down on the wool growing in
terests Of our country. We would,
therefore, respectfully invite all those
that are interested in wool growing, In
Ashland and adjoining counties, to meet
US in the town of Ashland, on Saturday,
the 18th inst, to consult together and
unite on some plan, whereby we may OBJ
tain a reasonable price for our wool.

The Very Last of Walkers Expedition
His Surrender to the United States

The Very Last of Walkers Expedition
His Surrender to the United States
Troops.
Among the passengers by the SomtA-
eyney, which arrived at San Francisco
on the 18th ult., were Capt. VIM. WALK
Err, the redOubtable expeditionist, and
the few friends who through thick and
thin have chung to his fortunes. They
were in the custody of United States au-
thorities.
The closing scenes of the exhibition
and arrest of the band are thus narrated
by the San Francisco Commercial Id
VertiSere:
with thirty-three men, the whole of
his force, he was on his march for San
Diego, and had arrived near the bounda-
ry line on the 7th inst, being continu-
ally harrassed by a considerable force of
mounted Mexicans under Melendrez,
! who, however, had not the courage to
make an attack upon the command. On
the 9Th, Walker advanced to within
three miles of the boundary line, and
encamped on a hacienda called La Tia
~jnana.' The Mexicans were on the sur
rounding hills. Major McKinstry of the
U. S. Army went out to see him, with a
view of arranging matters, and shortly
afterwards despatched a messenger for
! Captain Benton, who wal in command
of the U. s. forces ON the line. Capt.
Benton obtained the permission of Me-
landrez to cross the line, and also went
to Walkers camp. By him Melendrez
sent a demand to surrender, granting
them permission to cross our territory if
he and his men would deliver up their
arms. To this Walker paid no atten-
ton, simply saying that the Mexican
General could have their arms if he
could take Them Things her became
very warlike and the American officers
informed the Mexican General that they
were not the least concerned in the mat
ter, and if he wanted to fight, they should
not interfere, being there merely as
American citizens.
Walker then took up his line of march
along the main Road to San Diego, and
the Mexicans began to manoevre, hang
ing upon the filibuster line, until within
one mile of the boundary line, when the
Mexicans took post on an eminence, di-
rectly opposite where a large number OF
spectators from San Diego were posted
to see the fight, and made a display as il
determined to prevent Walkers further
progress. AS the latter neared the Mex.
leans, he ordered an advanced guard Of
nine men with rifles, to charge upon the
enemy, which they did with a cheer
The Mexicans, without firing a shot, put
spurrs to their horses aud galloped away
leaving Walker and his party to pursue
their way unmolested."
Arriving at the boundary, the party
halted before crossing, and Walker had
a parley with Major MeKinstry and
Capt. Benton, (U. S. Officers sent to ar
rest his force.) The conference result.
ed in Walker and friends surrendering
themselves, on parole of honor.

Outrage on the American Flag.

ATTACK ON AN AMERICAN PnorBoAr.
On Monday evening about dusk, as
Mr.. Ayer'splotboat, flying the American
flag, was coming up the beach, n of the
Taoutae's vessels, the Gloom, fred a shot
at her. The boat, in which were Nh.
Linklater and six Chinese, was soon haul
ed round under the Compton, and the
officer on board ordered the Chinese sail
ors up on deck and had them tied up to
the mainmast, but allowed Mr.. Linklater
to go away after having overhauled the
boat. As soon as Mr. Aver was inform
ed of this proceeding, he laid his COM
plant before the United States Consul,
who referred him to Captain Kelly, and
he, accordingly, went on board the United
States storeship Plymouth, and Captain
Kelly, upon hearing of the assault, very
promptly manned a boat, which was pla-
edd under command of LIEUT.. Guest, who
proceeded Immediately to the SIR Herbert
Compton, and asked for the Captain,
who was not to be found at last, a Por-
tuguese on board the Compton, said he
was in command, and Mr.. Guest at once
demanded how he dared to make pris-
oners of men under the American flag pr
and demanded their release. The Por-
tuguese replied he did not do it, and that
he had ne authority to-set them free
Wherupon Lieut.. Guest ordered his
men to board, which was done with the
greatest alacrity, and cut the prisoners
from the mainmast, where they had been
tied by the hair
1t Was observed, at the moment, that
some men on the poop of the vessel were
leveling their muskets at the American
officers and Mr.. Linklater, who accom-
panied him. Mr.. Guest very energet-
icly leveled his revolver at the Portu.
guese, telling him that on the first shot
being fired he would blow his brains out.
The Portuguese, in great alarm, i'm
mediately ordered his men to desist-the
crew and boat were then taken off with
out further hindrance. There is no plea
offered for this gross insult to the Amer
lean flag, except hat the boat had some
shot ON board, which it is in the habit Of
carrying for ballast.
Mr.. Murphy, the United States Con.
sci, in correspondence with. the Taoutae
on this subject, has laid down the doc
trlne, that under no p%retence whatever
shall property or persons, while under
the protection of the United States flag
be molested by the Chinese authorities
with impunity. But if any claim is sup
posed by them to exist against persons
or property under the United States flag
the complaint must be made to him, the
only person known in the treaty to have
the power of settlement,
The promptitude with which the
United States Consul and Captain Kel-
ly attended to this complaint, and the
energy with which Mr.. Guest carried
out his instructions, which were of very
delicate and digcult nature, are very
p~raiseworthy, and we hope will check
the insolent bearing o fthose in command
of the ex-Taoutae's ships, who are fire.
