hour of the night ran out of his room, and
plunged overheard. The boat was stopped
and a search made for the man, but he could
not be found, and was given up as lost. IL

tinued on to Louisville in great distress. The
accident happened below Henderson. al
Louisville she received dispatch from the

The Los Angelos-( Caiitornia} Star ofAprii
18th gives many pa,iculars of the outrageous
.conduct OF Walker and his party, who went
to Lower California as "Liberstors," but who
have turned murderers, robbers, thieves, md
bandits. IT is high time good round price
was offered for the head of the gang:
The latest Intelligence from Walker states
that he l.. still in the valley of La Trinidad,
about seven leagues from the mouth OF the
Colorado. A Spa niard, who arrived in San
Diego ~-.ast-wsek, states that Walker had
seized upon about seven hundred sheep, and
shot the owner, Mr.. Dennis, because he re-
fused to give them up voluntarily. Mr.. Den
MS had partner in San Isabel and one in
Stockton.
Don Jose Espinosa, wealthy gentleman
OF Santo Domingo, was taken prisoner, and
three hours were given him to decide be-
tween death and the delivery of a ransome oi
twelve thousand dollars.
| There are now in San Diego and vicinity
some one hundred souls who have fled from
their homes to escape the outrages OF the
bandits. Many ofthem arrived on foot and des.
titute, and the citizens OF San Diego have
raised by subscriptions, funds for their relief.
I
fled, but the distance and loss Of their proper.
ty prevented them.
Don Ignacio Arce, an old soldier OF Spain
and his brother, Don Santiago Arce, wealthy
men were robbed of all their property. Don
Ignacio, s. years old, s.forced after losing
his property, to act as vaquero for Walker
over his own cattle. He has family of fif
teen children, which is left in a very desti
tute condition. Don Santiago was placed a,
: shepherd over the sheep stolen from the mur
derer Dennis.
In the Church of Santo Tomas were de
posted several trunks, containing the plate
cande-s,icks, pearl necklaces, and valuable
! of several OF the old missions of the northern
portion Lower California, amounting 10 man,
thousand dollars. These valuables wer
stolen and carried awsy by Walker. Thes
are some Of the outrages which the people o
t that country have suffered at the hands o
y the "liberators."
The district where these outrages hsv,
been committed embraces a territory thre,
hundred leagues in length, and from twent,
4 TO fifty leagues in width, extending from tn
line to the port of Molige, and is thinly peo
pied by about FIVE hundred white inhabitant
composed of old men and women, the son
, having mostly emigrated to Sonora and Cal
iorna. 1t is believed that force of thirt
fighting men could not be raised in the coun
try; and even those who are disposed to re
o sist the depredations of Walkers band ar
: unable to d. so from the fact that they hav
been deprived Of their horses and arms.
The property destro, ed by Walker is es
timated at more than a million Of dollars
g And by his licenses and example, the In
e dians, who before were peaceful, have be
4 come aggressors, and their depredations ar
cleaning out what little was left by him.

r The Enquirer very properly corrects
us in our statement that the Senatorial Con-
vention recommended Dir. Cooper as thei'
candidate for Congress. We were thus in
formed by person whom we thought o"gh to
know the business of the Convention II
appears the Delegates from Posey county
recommended DIR. Cooper, but those from
Vanderburgh had nothing to say on the sub
ject. We don't see why these Democratic
delegates are SO very anxious to escape the
responsibility of recommending Dir. Cooper
Are they ashamed of him! Or do they ex
pect to get the candidate for the Senate ant

American Hair Restorative.

We rarely notice edtorial.y any OF the
patent or copyright claimants for public ia

rule to speak of the article named above
We really believe that it does all its discov.
erer claims Tor it-restores hair to heads con.
sidsred hopelesslyba Several gentlemen
of our acquaintance in this city are using it,
and will willingly give testimony to its eff.

AMERIC.N HAIR RESTORATIVE VS.. BAL.
NEss.-Cne OF the most important modern
discoveries, and one that has won consdera
BILE reputation, and has collection of evi.
dence in its favor hitherto not acquired by
any other article for the same purposes
namely, the restoring of hair on bald heads
is the preparation heading this rotice. The
idea of producing a crop OF new hair on
heads that have been bald for years, has, we
are well aware, been often attempted, but we
do not know of any, unless few isolated
cases, where success has attended areT edy
far that purpose. The American Hair Res
toratlve, undoubtedly, has list of respecta.
bic evidences in its favor; among them clear
and distinct cases Of badness, of years
standing, certified to by persons who certain
y would not allow their names ID be used il
that connection unless there was a reality
in it. The Restorative is worthy of the at
tenlion Of those who are bald and also o
those who are becoming so, as we are assured
that it will fasten the hair and prevent it.
f ling off, and we cannot doubt from tn
evidence in its favor, that il will restore hail
on bald heads in majority of cases. The
individuals referred to in an advertisement in
another part of this paper, are persons who
would not lend their names to ANYTHING o.
his kind, unless it were deserving it, We

Mr.. Editor.-In perusing the late Laws
of our Safe Legislature, we are forcibly
struck with the general good to the public,
in the passage of the General Banking Law,
and for organizing associations for manufac-
turing. mining, building purposes, &C., &c.
Under these generous laws that serve to ben
eft our State and citizens, we find some six
ty new Banking Associations have gone into
operation. besides several associations for
mining and manufa curing, which are being
organized in different parts of the State
md we learn that at this point there is one
about to be established called the INDIANA

WEDNESDAY MORNING, ,::::::JUNE L

Democratic Senatorial Convention.
We have never seen a more apt illustra-
ton of the power Of party drill. in making
men sacrifice their natural independence OF
action and honest conviction, than was ex-
hibited at the Blairsville Convention OF Sat
urday. A few weeks ago, scarcely Demo-
crat in the city of Evansville or county of
Vanderburgh, but who seemed honestly TO
entertain the strongest feelings of opposition
70 the Nebraska bill. A large meeting was
held here, (and we venture to say that from
q third to baf of those present were Demo
crats,) for the purpose of discussing this
measure. At this meeting, strong resolu-
tions in opposition to the Nebraska bill were
presented, discussed and passed, with but
five dissenting voices! But it was not gen.
erally known then that the administration
had consented to act as godfather to this
measure-it was not known, that il was to
beccme the policy of the Democratic party
in Indiana to engraft the Nebraska bill or
law in its platform. But since then, the ad-
ministrstion hss- come out openly for the
Nebraska measure, anGthe Democrats State
Convention has endorsed tht administration
In this particular. Now look at these "in-
dependent Democrutsl" Swaliosing their
honest opinions, acknowledging no free will
of their own, fearing to even breathe MUIR
uur against the power that makes them less
than men, so far as freedom Of soul is con-
cerned-they hasten away to the firs: con-
venton that offers, and there confess by their
actions, they dare not have all opition coh-
trary to those crammed down their throals
by the powers that be.
We by no means speak of all, or even the
minority Of Democrats hereabouts, in ihesc
remarks. We allude particularly to those
who had the whole business of this senato-
rial convention "cut and dried" before II
met. So well was it understood the day be-
fore the convention, what would be its action
ton in this particular, that we know more
than one Democrat who would not go near
it. One of the oldest, staunehest and uics
incorporating Democrats in Vanderburgt
county, told us be would not go near any
such convention az this-that il was goin:
70 pass resolutions which would not speai
the voice of the Democracy of this region
He was right, and others stayed away from
il for the same reason.
And how many Germans were present, no
Office holders or office seekers! What have
they to say to this endorsement of the slavery
extension law, by convention pretending
to represent the Democracy of this coun
ty, and to represent the feelings OF German
Democrats as we'll as othersi We shout
like to he ar from them.
Col. Drew, the nominee of this conven
ton for the State Senate, is pledged in sur
port of this Nebraska law. Let that be re
collected. We have no disposition to quai
rel ith has nomination. 1t suits us probs
bly as well as the nomination Of any oths
man-possibLy, when the election comes OF
IL will suit US better. We shall see.
