On the 18th ult, a party of six
highwaymen attacked in open day the
the Cantonville stage coach, on its way
to Marysvillc. There was about
100000 in treasure on the stage at
the time, and the coach was full of
passengers, who gallantly defended
themselves and their property. Some
forty shots were fired, and the coach
was riddled with balls. One passen-
ger, woman, was shot through the
brain, and several others seriously
wounded. The robbers were COMPEL
ed to retreat without the booty. Judge
Terry, after his release at San Fran
cisco, went on board the I. 5. sloop

lowing Saturday he went to Sacra-
mento, where his friends and the Law
and Order" party received him pub
licly, and congratulated him on his
safe delivery from the hands of the
:. Vigilance Committee. The total ex-
port of the treasure from California
foots up rising $30,00o,00O for the
past months.

Our RAILROAD. By reference to Proc
lamation in another column, it will be
seen that our County Judge has order
ed vote to be taken in this county,
upon the subject of taking stock in
the McGregor, st. Peters and Missou-
ri River Railroad. The mode proposed
is undoubtedly new to many Of our cit
liens, but if the business is properly
managed, we doubt not it is much the
best method for all concerned. Ger.
tainly nothing short of the cash itself
could be better for the Railroad Com.
pany than the bonds of the County
and we are not sure but the bonds are
even better than cash for them. Fol
the people, we know of no way in
which they can so easily and cheaply
aid and secure the object desired
We notice that in some counties a vote
is taken providing that the money shall
be expended in the purchase of iron te
lay the track within the county.
