DARING AND OUrR sGEoUs RoBsERY.
"A man named George Piorcc appear
ed at the police Office yesterday morn
ing, and made the following complaint:
The complainant, who is one-half
owner of the schooner Thomas Franklin
small craft used in the navigation Of
the bay and adjoining creeks and inlets,
stated that he was called upon, on board
his vessel, which was lying at Clay street
wharf, on F friday, 2eth ult., by three
men, strangers to him, who informed
him that they wished to go to Saucelito.
Being alone, he at first declined going,
until his partner should return. After
waiting half an hour, and his partner
not returning, he at length consented to
take them over, on their Offering to pay
him handsomely, and assist in working
the boat. When near Seal Island, a.
bout two miles from-S Saucelito, they seiz
ed him and forced him into the cabin,
where they bound him hand and foot;
after which they robbed him of silver
watch and $3.50 in money, which they
found in the cabin They then took
the schooner into Racoon Straits, and
anchored until dark, when they took
him ashore, still bound, an! leaving him
in charge of one Of their number, with
a cooked pistol, the other two returned
to the schooner and cut away her ma.ts,
and otherwise mutilatcd her.
| The three then united their prisoner.
| feet and forced him to accompany them
into the mountains, distance, as he
supposed, of ten miles, to place having
the appearance OF an old c,mp, WHARF
they remained until Wcdnc sday evc-
ming, 3lst ult., keeping the complainant
tied all the time, and under a stric,
guard. They then brought him to the
bay, where small boat awaited them,
in which they crossed to San Francisco,
landing at small wharf near Fort Point.
They set the boat adritt and carried
their prisoner into the sand hills near
the Pacific coast, where they arrived a
bout midnight He was then left in
charge Of one of the party, who was
armed with two rcvolvers; the other two
leaving, illing their companion good
bye, as ifthcy intended to EN- arking on
the steamer
His guard remained with him until
eight o'clock on the evening eff the lst
inst, when he left him, bound hand and
foot, with threats if ever he crossed his
(thc guards path, that he hid that a.
ways ready which would settle him.
After two hours labor, he succeeded
in gnawing the ropes that bound his
bands, and loosing his feet, made "bee
line for the city, where he arrived a.
bout ten clock, Thursday evening, lst
inst and made his complaint at the Po-
lice Office. g +. San.

MINING NEWS.


Dryden & Co. on Humbug Gulch,
took out on Monday last Is ounces !.
This claim has been worked over three
or four times and still pays splendi dly.
MIR. N. Giar Familiarity called cold
Nels" at Yankee Hill, on Wednesday
afternoon, took out a lump of pure gold
weighing something over seven ounces.
The claim pays on an average $lo per
day to the hand.
There are many claims on old Mate
lot Gulch, that are still paying well.
Waller & Co., near the Quartz Mill,
have claim which pays regularly about
l2 dollars to the man. The miners are
all doing we'll on Tree Pine Gulch.
A Packard & Company, at Santiago,
took out, on Wednesday, a 32a ounce
lump Of pure gold. 1t can be seen at
the Banking House of James Mills &
Co. 1t is beautiful specimen
On Tuesday last We we're shown, by
Messrs. Mills & Co., lump of black
clay and gravel, taken out Of Dyer &
Cos claim, at Gold Springs, that was
literally full Of gold. The gold was
round like pebbles; there being, in
some places, more gold than stone
The piece is just as it was dug up with
the pick, and We understand that there
is still left in the claim, more soil of the
same sort. Fit is all like the specimen
we saw, a man could pick out a, fortune
in single day
In LucK.-As Mr.. Ellis Maxim, oi
Springfield, was passing along the road
near Drinks Blacksmith shop, at the
foot of Broadway, on Thursday morning
he espied piece of gold sticking out Of
a pile Of " tailings,'' y and upon further
examination and o little digging, he sue
ceeded in excavating beautiful speci-
men Of pure gold, weighing Al ounces,
and worth about scventy-6ve dollars
It is perhaps unnecessary to inform our
readers that Mr.. Maxim deposited the
little jewel in his pocket and went on
his way rejoicing. Miners, examine
your stones.

ScEoo1 ExAMlNATIox.-We had
the pleasure Of being present at the ex-
animation of our school, in Columbia,
yesterday, by invita- tion Of the teacher,
Mrs. Chamberlain, and must confess
that we were unprepared to find such a
large assemblage of young children,
looking SO neat and orderly, and exhib-
iting proficiency in their studies which
would do credit to scholcrs more ad-
vanced in years, and having the advau-
tage of tuition q! the best schools of the
older States. The exercises in read
ing, arithmetic and grammar, inter-
spersed with singing, by the scholars,
was exceedingly interesting +; and it
must have been very gratifying to the
parents present, to know that their chill
dren were under the care of so kind and
perseveriug teacher. What particular
ly pleased us,was the manner Of reading,
ESQ entirely different from the usual
drawling tone of the pupils of most Of
our schools)-the scholars reading with
the force, animation and emphasis, to
gether with a perfect comprehension Of
the composition, that would lead one
seated at little distance from them 10
suppose that they was in conversation
among themselves. The grammar and
other exercises were equally commen-
dablc.
Ne regret that our business engage
ments would not admit Of our STAYING
to listen to the exercises in dcclama-
tion, in which, we understand, the
scholars particularly excel.

RALLY! DEMOCRATS y

ais evening, at the Exchange, and
elect your delegates to the County
Convention, to be held at jamestown
on the 10th inst. 1t is the duty Of eve
ry Democrat to be present.
Let Columbia give her vote in favor
Of her distinguished sons, the Hon j /.
W. CorrRoTH for our Representative in
the next U. S. Congress, and the Hon.
J. W. MANDEvILLE for our Senator in
the Legislative Halls of our State.
Mr. Coffroth1 has long been citizen
of our mountain village and by bis gen.
erous, noble and manly character, has
gained the good will and warm friend
ship Of all who have become acquainted
with him. Devotion to tho interests,
woll.being and success of the Demo-
cratic party has al,ooys been bis high
est aim his greatest pride being in its
success and prosperity; and if he has
committed errors,-to which none are
infallible, ,--they are errors Of the head
and not Of the heart. We honestly
believe that Mr.. Coffroth has never de-
waited from what he consciensiously be-
ieved to be for the best interest and
benefit Of our party, and if elected rs
our National Representative, would con-
fer honor upon our State, and be the
pride and boast Of his constituents
Democrats, come boldly, honestly and
fearlcssly to his support. Never let it
DO said that the Democracy of Colum-
bia deserted him, with whom they have
50 often fought shoulder to shoulder, and
who has time and time agaiu led them
through the conflict and on to glorious
victory
MIR. Vaudeville for the Office of State
Senator, should meet with the support.
and receive the vote Of every good
Democrat. As good man and true,
as a citizen and friend, Mr.. Mande-
vile, is honored and beloved by all who
know him +; and his devotion to the
principles of Democracy no one dare
question. If elected to represent US in
the Senate chamber, he would be found
as ne always has been, true to what he
honestly believes to be for the well-be-
ing Of his constituents and the welfare
Of the State.
Democrats, in your caucus this eve
ming, elect men who will exert an influ-
snce in the Convention, men who have
worked and are willing to work again for
the promotion Of the principles, and the
success Of our party. Let all private
feelings, and all bicke rings be thrust a.

orotherly feeling, the harmony and
