THE PORTLAND RIOT.

We find the following additional facts in reference 10
Saturday evenings doings in Portland in TtePortland
Adrrtiser OF Tuesday morning, to which that paper
challenges the severest investigation:
For nearly two hours the City Marshal with SIX or
eight Of the Police remained in the where the
liquors kept, exposed 10 the insulting eers and
he dang erous missiles of the crowd. His men were
placed on either side of the door for their own protec
ton, and distinctly ordered not TO fire until there
should be an attempt TO enter the room. Mean
while not only the Marshal repeatedly cautioned the
crowd TO desist but members ofthe Police Department
went among them stating that the Marshals Police
Corps were armed and would surely fire. aud advising
and ordering them TO dispene to their homes The
glass and door were broken through the Police were
wounded with stones in several instances and pistol
or naskd r0s discharged at them from the crord
BEFORE the fret order to fire was given which was to
hre over tie heads Of the crowd
Since tie event than trio bushels Of stones
some OF them weighing more than tUeHty pounds
have been gathered IN the where the police were,
and which thrown in by the crowd before the
arrival Of the Rife Guards. In addition 10 the above
warnings before the police began to fire, similar and
reiterated warnings were given by Mayor Dow and
SLeih Baker. Before the firing also sereral arrests
pere made in the crowd, in some OF which the
arrested pcrsons rescued by their confeerates
and in others the individuals taken off and are
still in custody.
Therefore every statement which has been made
lice and Rife Guards of rashness and wanton destrc-
ton OF life is utterly exploded. These men defended
our property and lives in a necessary and Just manner
they 10 lost their Lives III more than one there be-
did so ng IN the face OF the law and authority under
which We ell repose.

ISIENFEBAScE.-The Chief Justice in his report to
the Legislature saws:
The number Of natives fined for drunkenness in
Honolulu during tie last year has increased from ll3
to Geo. This fearful increase has arisen from variety
OF cers s. among which are the increase of small beer
shops, The greater facility of procuring spirtuous Il.
quors by natives and the effect of evil examples in

FROM THE MINES.

CHEERING News FROM THE CALAyERAs MINES
The Calarerds Chronicle of Saturday says:
1t will be hailed with general satisfaction when we
assert that at the present time the mining interest In
this section of country Is more healthy and vigorous
than il has been for years, and that more gold being

Immediately water courses were laid out, and the
wealth hidden away in the gulches and under the hills

is prosperous and progressing.

another party of the contents of the letter ing
at the same time that he should not be surprised to

the entire foundation of the runor. Two sail boats,

day, and Capt Gray, of the keepers who came
passenger in the Ida, reports that he left everything
quiet at the prison at 9 AN. IL would appear how

THE STATE PRISON EXODUS.


The first statement published in The Herald Of yes

prison and murder of the guards at Corte Matera
isconfrmed by subsequent intelligence TO the following
effect:
ON the afternoon Of Saturday four prisoners en-
ployed at the backyard broke away from le guard
and three of them managed TO escape-the other
shot down. Cherokee Bob, a halfbred Indian
was Of those who escaped; another named
White. This escape occurred al an hour subsequent
10 he date Of the letter from san Rafael received by
Mr.. Gordon, consequently the first rumor without
other foundation than in the specuatons of Mr. Davis
the author Of the letter. The escape of the three prs
oners and shooting ofthe fourth was officially reported
to General Esell yesterday morning, and the report
received confirmation by vessels which arrived from
Point San Quentin aud the Mission of San Rafael last
evening.

The Crops.

The Dayton Empire of the 18th, says
the corn crop in southwestern Chic bids
fair to be unusually heavy. The stalks
are not large for the season, but are
healthy, and what is most important at
this time, ''stand WE'LL" that is, there
are a sufficient number of stalks grow
ing. The corr cropis out of danger, ex-
cept possible from a drouth, such as
scorched it last season. The Ohio
CuLtivator has the following par a.
graphs of interest
The wheat crop continues to promise
well, except on wet lands. and if the
coming two or three weeks should be
dry weather, it will &c doubt ripen fine
ly. It is now about the time for the
midgc-fy; or parent of the yellow wee
will to begin its work. but on close in
spection of a number Of fields We have
not been able to detect its presence, and
owing to the recent rains we do not
think it has yet appeared in Ohio.
Several papers which announced its
appearance some week since, we are con-
fdent were mistaken-probably mislcd
by hearing farmers speak of injury by
the "fy," abiding to the Hessian fly,
which has done considerable injury to
the crop in some parts of the State.
Hay and oats arc now sure to be
good crops, and .pasturnge will, no doubt,
be abundant for the entire summer
Potatoes and garden vegetables give
promise of great abundance, so that
starvation prices will not likely prevail
much longer in our towns and cities.
