The Two Stars-Fillibusters Still
Ahead.

The last California news is, that the
Walker filibusters have succeeded. The
bark Amity landed her force TO assist
Walker. San Thomas, town in Low
er California, was taken. 1t seems that
the people have fraternized with the expe.
ditionisis! Two men, Melendrez and Ne
CRETE, opposed them, and had TO fly. Here
is the account:
"Melendrez and Negrete had fed, but
the property belonging to them at La
Grulla, was taken and appropriated for
the use of the expedition. This was prin-
cipally horses and cattle, and all are Sc
cured in the valley Of Encinada. The

the property which was declared coE6sca-

drive the expedition from the country; and
in order to do so, he has forced the natives
to fight against it. The inhabitants of this
part OF tho country refused to aid him, but
have been obliged to do so in order to
save the life OF Negrete, commandant OF
San Thomas. and also of the judge OF

taken as prisoners, and threatened to put
to death il the inhabitants did not enroll
themselves under his command. They
reluctantly did so, under the promise TO
release his prisoners. They beseiged them
several days, keeping up constant and
Intellectual FIRE upon US on the first day OF
the seige.. The gallant McKib bin met his
death while taking deliberate aim at the
person Of the outlaw, Melendrez. The
heroic Captain Gilman was also severely
wounded. With these exceptions, the men
are without seattle or injury. and in excel
lent condition and spirits. On the fifth day,
our boys made an open attack upon their
camp, routing them completely, killing
eight, and wounding several more. We
also took possession of their field piece,

Walker has issued proclamation for
order. 1t is well received. 1t concludes
thus: "Under the new government, all
well disposed persons will be protected in
liberty OF person and enjoyment of prop

will be encouraged in their reverence for
and worship Of the Great Being, withou,
whose aid all earthly purposes fail, and

call upon you, as good citizens, to assist

AN AFFECTING SCENE IN A CINCINNATI
PoLrcE couRr.-An affecting scene oc-
Cured In the Police Court Of this city
not long since. At tho close of the
morning business middle-aged Ameri-
can lady, neatly attired, approached the
Judge and requested that he would send
10 the House of Refuge her two sons,
one aged ten and the other eight years.
The two little boys were presented to

lads. At the request OF the Court she

Her narration was listened to with

10 The Louisville Weekly JOurnG

~ The Louisville Weekly Journal
ofSept.. 81, has the following adver-
tisement:
TAKEN UP-A negro Man, in the
State of Indiana, about go miles below
Louisville. KY, about the 9th Of Au-
gustlast. and lodged in Jail at Hardins-
burg. Ky. Said negro man is about
8 feet 8 inches high. and will weigh
about 10 lbs. He is about 80 years
of age. of dark copper color. has a
scar on his right leg that has the ap-
pearance of burn. and can read prin,
tolerably well. When taken up, had
nothing on but check shirt and dark
colored pants. For further informa-
ton, address CHAS. HAMILTON
Hadinsburg, Ky.
Taken up in the State of Indiana, a
Man. and lodged in Jail!
Taken up. why?
For crime? Not alledged.
For vagrancy? Not limited at.
For poverty, perhaps? But bless
ed are the poor" says the old Book,
and here. in the year A. d. 1854, we
have this evidence of the practical
working of that doctrine-ripened by
age and purified by Democratic insti-
buttons.
This imprisoned wretch can "read
print tolerably WELL" In that partic-
ular, he is much in advance of $4,000
white inhabitants Of Virginia the elm
personation of the high born aristocat;"
and perhaps his literature was the
main cause of his arrest. Who can
say what may not be done under de.
mocracy of the Douglas cut?
But we may ask, by whom was "the
negro man taken-up." Was it the
majestic authorities Of the State, or
was it some magnifco of kidnapper
acting on his own account? This part
of the business is as mysterious as
sybiline leaves. That it should be re-
corded in an American journal. that a
Man was taken up without even tech
meal cause, turned in the twinkling Of
an eye from Man before the laws tc
a beast before the laws!
When will the next Kossuth come tc
this country for material aid TO The
