Riot at St. Louis. Mo.

The Boston Iraueler contains the fol-
lowing account of the late riot at ST..
Louis.
at was the city and county election for
members of Congress and county officers.
Thos. II. Benton was the Democratic cam
didate, and the Irish voted for him.
Kennett was the Whig candidate. whose
name the Known othings, also had at the
head of their ticket. There was great
quantity of whisky used during the day,
and there was much threatening by the
Irish; but no fighting till about o'clock,
when an Irishman stabbed an American
in the back, cutting horrid cash, and
also cut at several others. This was the
signal for general row. An infuriated
crowd rushed around the corner, yelling
kill him kill him The Irishman ran
for his lie, but the mob soon overlook
him and just cut him up. His head was
cut and broken with stones, so that he lay
as dead Il could not ascertain whether he
died or not, but should think he must have
died soon if not on the spot.) Then a
general work of destruction commenced.
"The Irish in large Numbers appeared
on the Levee, armed with muskets, and
crowds without arms, marching up Green
and Morgan streets, where they were met
by the other party, who drove them, after
hard fight. Many shots were fired,
some with terrible effect, killing, it is be-
lieved, several. Qtis impossible to ascer-
tain how many.) The wounded were
being carried up from the Levee to Broad
way and Fourth streets, continually, and
presented most frightful appearance
The American party now became uncon-
trolable, and commenced breaking in
every Irish whisky shop and house on the
Levee. The streets are full of loose lime
stone rocks, from the size of a hens egg
to that of a brick bat. These were used
with ruinous effect upon windows, doors,
shutters, furniture, and everything that
was breakable.

We were not moment in deciding
what to do, ian American seldom is when
Mercy calls on hiii,) but taking little
Uletta in my arms, while Charley followed
with the horses, we soon made our way,
by the girls guidance, to the robber-ranch.
Here we found all in confusion the
horse had returned without its rider, and
the chief, whose daughter Uletta was,
seemed almost frantic. The joy of the
whole party at seeing us may be imagined.
After caring for the little patient, and
giving such directions as he thought ad-
visable, the chief turned to us, and said :
You Americans are remarkable race.
7 You were too wise to resist us-cunning
enough to out-wit us-and brave enough
to come to US ON an errand of mercy.
When you go home, I would have you
remember that guerilla, although an
outlaw, and made robber by oppression,
is nevertheless possessed of gratitude.
Your clothes and equipments shall be

interested) and your route to Acapulco

We were placed in full possession of
our own again, and by the aid of our fresh
horses and q hew guide, soon came in
sight of the city. Here the man left us !;
and after riding into town, and leaving
the horses at place previously designated
by the outlaw, we sat down to more
chickens and eggs, in the French Restau-
rant OF Fran. Williams, and made up our
minds that we haI emphatically chad

We soon after sailed for Mazatlan ; but
Charley became so disgusted with the
pigmy appearance of the city Mexicans,
after having seen the guerillas, that he
declared he must either leave the country
or go back to robbers. With due regard
for his moral culture, | therefore consented
to come home, where we arrived safely;

Mining Correspondence:
SMITHS FLAT-MosCoW.
September I'd, 1854,

OtpttluUeT "a, 1904, J
Ed. Ctizerr-At an early hour this
morning, through the indefatigable agency
Of Langton & Bros Express, your paper
was duly received, and you may be assured
it is with the greatest pleasure hailed and
read by the citizens of this place.
Since the Citizen first made its appear
ance l have been looking with great
anxiety for some of the older residents to
open correspondence, but up to the pre-
sent time have been sadly disappointed
in my expectations. have often asked
the question why we should keep silent
while other mining towns of minor impor-
tance are recording in the leading journals
Of the State their "big strikes and enter
prising towns, and last but not least, beau
tiful women. All this, Mr.. Editor, is very
well, and we (the people Of Moscow con-
gratuate them on their good fortune, but
we wish it distinctly understood, that we
shall suffer no town to Justly claim supe-
riority over our owll---II do not speak III
relation to the number of houses COM
prising the village, nor its beautiful loca-
ton, hut the vast amount of labor per-
formed during the year.
We have at this time no less than thirty
tunnels, besides large number of surface
claims, which pay largely when there is
sufficient water to wash with the 'shydrau-
lie hose"
The entire diggings $50 far as know
range from three to four miles in length,
commencing at place known as the
" Star Hill," (better known as Spring
Hill,) and running in southern course,
terminating about one quarter of a mile
west of Kanaka Flat.
You may deem it somewhat singular
that mining district of so extensive a
character should comparatively remain
hid for so long time from the public.
The reason will appear obvious when you
are informed that most of the mining COM
panies have been under the necessity of
running from two to four tunnels by rea-
son of their commencing too high; and as
most of the tunnels were commenced at or
near the same time, they had no criterion
to ascertain the depth of the channel in
the hill. However, this obstacle is re-
moved entirely, as many of the tdnnels are
in pay dirt. Last week saw from four
to FIVE dollars to the pan taken from the
Hoock g. Bull tunnel. This it is true is
no great doings, but question if many
mining claims can do better. The Jenny
Lind claim prospects largely-Monday
last they panned out $50 to the pan.--
also, Packard's tunnel prospects far be-
yond their expectations. At Star Hill,
about one mile above this place, the All
Nations company sunk shaft in the hill,
which prospects well. Yours,
J.AB.

SHOULD BE ftEsTIGATED.-It is ru-
mored that Cock Robin, peaceable in
offensive individual has been assassinated
while assisting Mrs. r. in the discharge
Of her domestic duties. Suspicion rests
on seedy looking sparrow in a rusty
brown coat who vas seen lurking about
in the weeds, and little doubt is enter
tanned of his guilt, which is the more ap-
parent from the fact that he is in needy
circumstances, and hasn't second coat
to his back, and in addition he was seen
running bill at neighboring grocery,
and during drunken revel he confessed
to committing the deed Since then how
ever report has been circulated that the
sparrow belongs to good family, and the
general impression now is, that he COM
mitted the deed during temporary fit of
insanity. The matter should be investi-
gated; Cock Robin has been kilt and Mrs.
r. is now obliged to scratch for living,
and in all probability the younger Robins
will fall into the hands of some charitable
association. This case calls for the in
tervention of vigilance committees, who
should arrest every suspicious looking
Sparrow, dead or alive and hand him orer
to the authorities.

IRREvERENT.-The Golden Era, seems
to think that certain of ther California
clergy, are looking with more diligence,
for the golden wedge, than for the lost,
sheep of the House Of Isrcal. Don't blame
'em, friends Foard and Daggett, for ifthey
don't make provision for themselves, who,
will? Most of them have tried living on j.
faith, and the voluntary contributions .ot
their flocks, but never "scad"' of filthy
lucre gladdened their hearts, save crooked
picayunes, and the dingy looking wares

The following is from Down East paper,

pist, it is admirably adapted to the tastes
of nice young Clergymen, who don't like
to shock their hearers feelings with harsh
words.
"Deity is my pastor; l shall not be indi-
gent. He maketh me to recumb on the
verdant lawns; he leadeth me beside the

There are but few sluice-heads of water
now, but occasionally a few nuggets are
picked out of the diggings. The Live
Yankee claims are doing remarkably well.
Claims generally here are rated higher

are focking to Kapaka Creek. Large
strikes are daily being made near the head
of the North Fork of the creek, some three
miles above Smiths. Several tunnels at
