Singular Phenomenon.

4 gentleman who arrived from Santa
Clara yesterday, relates the following :
Some days since. an ariesiun well was
being sunk near frame house. situated
few miles distant from The town oi
Alviso. on the road leading from tina.
place to San Jose. The boring rod ha d
penetrated a thick layer Of clay. at the
depth Of one hundred and sixty -four
feet, when the operators left their work
for dinner. Upon their return, after
the lapse of al hour, a small stream
of water was spouting from the bore I'd
the hsigh. Of about fifty feet, and which
much difficulty portion Of the boring.
rod was withdrawn.
One sectioa of the rod remained in
the bore, and finally this was thrown
out with great velocity BY the force oi
the water. A sheam Of pure wafer fol-
lowed, gradually increasing in circum.
ference as the earth was worn away by
the constant flow of water, and when
our informant left, there was a steady
discharge Of water rising to the height
of six ieet, from an aperture Of about
two feet in diameter. The surrounding
fats were flooded BY this stream, and il
was found requisite to cnt bitches TO
preserve the roads from inundaiiOn.

Judge HEwlrr, at his residence i'm.
mediately north of Macarthur, has a
field OF oats that we feel confident would
be the Premium Oats of our county
this year, if our Agricultural friends
meet, and the Judge claims the prize.
The stalks will average from 81 10 6
feet, and every head well filled. The
taste displayed by the Judge in all the
arrangements Of his cottage retreat, far
surpasses anything in our country; and
we would be glad to see some OF our
capitalists who are able, follow this ex-
ample, in improvements around our
town; no town in the State is better To-
Gated, more healthy, or abounds with
such beautiful locations Tor country res
licences as Macarthur. Let them be

Alvarez's Revolutionary Army
His PImn Of Operations.

A very absurd Tumor has been started
in this city, that the reputed discovery
of gold mines in Guerrero and the lib
erality Of General Alvarez in declaring
them free, were but designs TO covel
the violation of our neutrality laws by
suiistipg men for the libenting army,
We are assured BY Mr.. Paray Alvarez
.he nephew Of General Alvarez, who
has resided some time in this city, thai
they were strictly and emphatically y
false, II Alvarez had desired men OF
munitions Of war from this port, Gen,
Comoniort would not have visited New
York las: fall.-The revolutionary army
now numbers over twenty Eve thousand
men enough for the purposes of Al
yaIez, who is extending his operations
far beyond Acapulco. Being master oil
all Michoacan Moreia. he is aOw deter
mined TO capture that city and to hold It.
Aivarez's plan is to harass Santa An
mas troops, TO defeat them 10 squads
to separate them, but not 10 engage, al
yet, decisive battles, not TO attack large
towns, nor to march against the city oI
Mexico, This plan, though slow, hal
already effected serious results. SAINTS
Anna's soldiers in the interior, reduced
10 half their original number, are al
most disbanded. and the leaders are
discouraged. Colonel Echegaray, IN q
report to .he Commander General oi
Guansjuato, says that this war is with
out the slightest aspect Of glory. When
the insurgents are numerically weak
they fly and establish themselves at q
different point when strong, they fall
upon and beat the Government troops
This is a faithful picture Of the har'
assing tactics observed by the liberaiinl
army-in fact it is a guerrilla war, il
which he needs no increase Of force
The public here haNO been So constantly
agitated by rumors Of fillibus;ering. tina
every movement on the part Of Alvarei
to establish a better feeling with the
Union and its inha bitants, in order Il

Resolutions were adopted declaring

An appeal TO the ballot box was re-

redress. The meeting was addressed by

For the DemocYat I


MR. EDIToR:-Can you inform me
why it is that neutral papers in our
county have had, as a general rule, old
line Whigs--or rather, TO speak more
correctly, and bring matters down to the
present time, Know Nothing leaders as
their concoctors and chief supportersi
What has become Of the once iormid,
able Whig party, that they no longer
dare to announce journal as such?-
Is it because they are fearful to trust
their principles (if they possess any
to the people? Is any body SO verdant
as to Suppose if they possessed the nu.
nerfcal force in the county suffi cient to
elect their partisan candidates, they
would so sedulously endeavor 10 enlist
"aid and sympathy" for a Neutral pa.
per as they are now doing? Not at all!
They are actuated by no other motive
than the securing Of apoliticdt ascend,
Iancy in this county we do not com.
plain OF this, but what we do strenu.
ously object to, and our objection we
regard as valid, is the means used in
order to acquire that ascendancy. Did
they boldly and frankly come out III
their true colors, and announce their
motives, we should have no fears as to
the ultimate result, believing as we do,
that the people would promptly and in
reject their claim. But they
dare not do so; and therefore, under the
guise of proiessedly neutral sheet,
they hope to gull aud mislead the citi-
zens OF our county as to the real issue
in controversy. Truth is MIGHTY AND
MUST PREVAIL! More, anon.

A TrnEeay In the Crlmea.

4 sad tragedy occurred on the 2lst OF
the entrance to the arabelnaia rsvine.
A body OF French troops were marching
down TO furnish the usual relief TO the
picket in the Tavine. The relief was
composed Of part Of the Cd battalion
Of the 25th regiment Of the liue. On
tie way. Lieut.. bryant. Of the grena-
dier company, had occasion to check q
soldier who. being partly intoxicated
was marching very irTegulaily and Civ
ing expression 20 angry sentiments in
loud voice. Scarcely had the reprimand
been given when the man replied /;
"Lieutenant, you've punished me often
enough, you shall not punish me any
more" and on tbe instant leveling his
muskst. he fred. and shot him through
the body.
The unfortunate officer, q man oi
powerful frame. and said TO be popular
10 the regiment. at once fell. He was
carried ty one OF the English hosp ital Is
near at hand. and died Immediately
after his arrival. The murderer was
secured without delay, and was being
taken back Under escort, TO the head
quarters Of his regiment. when gene
raj murmer arose from the men for bis
instant punishment. The general in
command of the trenches was in the
avine close by, and after brief con-
sulation between him and the comma a.
dant Of the relief, u council Was held
a nd tho man condemned TO he shot.
About 200 yards down the raviner
and at a slight elevation above II on the
side Of Frenchman's hill, a small heap
of stones was observed with a cleal
space before 1t.
To this the unhappy culprit was
brought, while on either side the bat
taIlion was drawn up in companies, and
here he received the FIRE oi twelve mus
kets, from a party placed at the oppo
site side of the ravine. He fell forward
pierced by eight bullets, and after
short address from the general, the regi
lnent proceeded on its way. Half al
hour elapsed between the PerPstratiof
OF the crime aud the execution oil the
terminal. The soldier had become sobe

He had lately received slight punish

the history Of the siege, involving th'
sudden destruction Of two valuable liz

watch the SpOOnies.

Quite a number of the Macarthur
Know Nothings are very busy just now,
in obtaining subscriptions to the new
press, and in taking up list Of SUBJ
scribers. In order TO deceive Demo-
Gratis, they are very particular to ask the
person they wish to ensnare if certain
men are not good Democrats; in other
words, in talking about who has sub
scribed, they will ask the questions,
sis not Judge HEwIrT a good Demo
crat? Is not Judge MURDocH a good
Democrat? Is not DR.. HOLLAND good
Democrat" This is the game these
Scuilions are playing to raise split in
the Democracy; thinking if they once
get them committed in their favor, that
they will stick it out and vote their PIE
bald ticket this fall! When Democrats
are thus addressed, by these evolves
iii Sleeps clothing" who prowl about
at midnight, and seek privacy to give
vent to their thoughts, just answer them
affirmatively, and tell them these men
are good Democrats! Tell them that
they dare not charge these men openly
(and others they have nalned) as being
opposed to the Democracy. Why not
come out boldly, and say wherein Judge
HEWITT, Judge MURDoCH, DR.. HoL-
LAND, or any other Democrat has taken
a position against the principles Of the
Democratic party? They know its a
lie; and hence they dare not face the
music.
