TIE WAGON ROAD ACROSS THE PLAINS. "A correspondent
AT sacramento SAWS that In the Senate on the 18th nit
the preamble and resolutions, memorializing Congress
70 establish a 2 post road across the continent, which
oriSinased in the Assembly, were passed in concurrence.
AS means Of increasing the population of our State, I
look upon this wagon road as highly important. That
continent in vehicles drawn by horses, / think prepos-
ferrous. That is, unless owing to war, the navigation
mails can be Conveyed bety w San Fra ac i,aI ana New sw
York by steamers, via the Isthmuso or Central America,
speedier and much safer than they can ever DO by com
mon stages across the plains. But crowds OF Western
people win be able to travel here in their wagons, drawn
by their own cattle, if a safe road be opened, who can
themselves and families.
HoRRIBIz TRAGEDY IN Los ASoErR.-we take the fol.
lowing from the Los Angeles St0r:-A most fatal ARRAY
Samuel King and sons, and Micajah johnson. The par
t~iculars, as far % we can learn, are as follow johnson
was IN 2 drinking ], q house, and took occasion in the pre-
drel and many vile ~epithets, which It is useless to men
tion., Young King told Johnson that he should not take
enough for johnson, but he would end one who would,
and left the grocery and went home. Shortly after this
johnson saw KING and his sons oomiag towards him. and
he got on his horse apparently with the intention Of ieav-
ing, raising his hat and bidding the bystanders ''GOod-
day" Whether there were any words passed between
mination it was proved that King fred frst, and is sup
posed to have wounded johnson, whose horse threw him
up fred upon him, the shot taking effect in bis left
breast, ha the upper lobe Of the left lung, passing en-
tiIely through, and morttally w%ounding him. King i'm.
ground, telling his sons he was dying, and &aling upon
them to ayengs his death. johnson then attempted to
escape but was pursued by the Kings, knocked down and
severely beaten. Johnson then retreated to a house,
barricaded the door, which was broke down by his pur.
suers, who entered the premises and shot him down,
two balls taking effect in his side, one in the head and
one in the arm. johnson died almost Immediately from
the wounds in his head and side. The young Kings,
after their fathers death, came In and gave themselves
up, and their examination is now being held.
