The Mountain Messenger.

The above sheet has some very severe remarks
on Mr.. c. E. Meredith and Estelle Potter for at
tempting to obtain possession of a little girl of
some six years of age by the name of Flora, adop-
ted by Mr. and Mrs Potter, some time ago. Mr..
Meredith was employed by Mrs. Potter to obtain
the child from Mr.. Potter and bring it to Weaver
vile, where she was then residing, and for that
purpose placed in the hands of Mr.. Meredith a
Power of Attorney and an affidavit OF the fact
that the child had been taken from an Asylum in
Philadelphia, and subsequently Mrs. p. had been
appointed by competent court the guardian of
the child, and that she had taken charge of the
child, &c. Mrs. Potter is the legal guardian of
Flora, and Mr.. Meredith had right to obtain the
child for the woman if he could, without being
amenable to the censure of the Messenger. Mr..
Meredith publishes card in our advertising col
umns, to which we call attention.

Re-Arrest Of Edward Line, alias. Com

In our last weeks issue we gave an account of
the assault on Charley Shsffer on the 4th inst by
" Commodore" at Big Bar, his arrest, escape, and
the reward offered by Under Sheriff Messec,
Commodore had received shot from the pistol
of Charley, the ball passing in at the right SIDE
penetrating the lower portion of the right lung
and lodging in the breast bone which rendered
him unable to be removed to the County Jail
On the night of the Sth inst Mr Messec placed
the prisoner in charge of Dennis Maloy, in a room
ct the house of Mr.. Murphy, on Big Flat, and to
make everything secure, took Commodore's clo-
thing into an adjoining room. During the night
the prisoner induced the guard to get his clothes
and tsxe walk with him, which he did Upon
returning, and just as Commodore was entering
the room, the guard stepped to the bar to drink
with a friend who had invited him. AT this time
the prisoner made his escape, ran down to the riv
err where he was assisted across by friend and
made his way up the mountain about half mile
and concealed himself in the bush until the llth,
during which time he was provided for by his
friends. Mr.. Messec upon learning that he had es-
capped, took the precaution to have all the trails,
passes, &c. leading from the river guarded by
trusty men, and offered a reward of two hundred
dollars for his arrest, and two hundred dollars for
information that would lead to the detection of
those who aided him to escape. Commodore's
friends finding that it was impossible to elude the
indomtable energy of Mr.. Messec concluded on
the llth inst. to inform Messrs. Moore and Evans,
two of the guards, where the prisoner was secre-
ted and he was accordingly re-taken and deliver
ed to Mr. Messec, and by him lodged in Jail on the
18th inst, to await his trial in the Court of Ses-
sions, on the first of next month.
Mr. Messec deserves great credit for the energy
with which he pursued the prisoner, and Trinity
County may well be proud of her Sheriff and his
under officers, for the prompt manner in which
they perform all their official duties

Mr. Buchanan accepted the nomination
on the 10th of June. In his letter of ac-
ceptance, he says;
'"And, in the first place, | cordially con-
cur in the sentiments expressed by the Con
vention on the subject of Civil and Religious
freedom. No party founded on religious or
nolitical intolerance towards one class OF
American citizens whether in our own or IN

try we are all equal before God and the
Constitution, and the dark spirit of despot-
ism and bigotry which would create odious
distinction among our fellow citizens, will be
speedily rebuked by free and enlightened
public opinion"
LATEST ADVICES FROM KANSAS.

ner had nterfercd, however, and warned the
Missourans against committing any unaw-
full acts.
The Congressional Kansas Investigating
committee have fifished their laboPs and are
on their return 1t is affirmed that the teS-

Fluning.

Great preparations are making along the Trim
ity for Fluming the river this season. The river
is falling rapidly. Within month nearly all the
companies will have their claims drained If the
rainy season does not set in very early, large a
mount of gold will be taken from the bed of old
Trinity this season.
The great number of Saw Mills that have been
erected has reduced the price of lumber so much
that the cost of fluming has been greatly decreas
ed from what it was in former years.

The Washington Fluming Company

At French Creek are extending their FIume up
the Creek so as to increase their supply of water.
We believe this Flume will very soon become one
of the most valuable water privileges in the Coun-
ty for certainly it seems to us that the extensive
range of good diggings commanded by it will E.
ventually be worked.
The Company have q very good Saw Mill at the
head dam. They raft their lumber down the
fume, thus enabling miners to have it delivered
at their claims. Upon our recent visit to their
works after pleasant day 'strouing in the Creek,
we had fine sail down the Flume. In many pla-
ces the iume is built around cliffs of rocks hang
ing perpendicularly over the river, at least two
hundred feet high, making ride of this kind
slightually grand.

rTbe Ror.ance of neal Esifes

The New. York Tribune gives the following
sketch Of d parsonage at one time widely
known in the newspaper world:
sit is strange to watch how those VIII at diff
ferent tines occupy a large space for the mo-
ment, either in public fame or public scandal,
disappear suddenly from the scene and are for-
cotton, as the ways of time passes over, until
again they rise at some distant spot, where one
least expects to find them. This thought Is
brought to our mind on reading the last news
from Asia of the death in Arabia OF Lady
Peterborough, one who at one time was the
star of London fashion, and whose beauty and
wit, the champagne of conversation, full Of
sparkle and %viVacity, gathered around her all
that was distinguished in English society.
Among her special admirers were George Cans
ming and the Duke of Wellington; but to the
discovery of her amours with Prince Schwartz
zenberg, which led to q trial that some years
since created an intense sensation among the
aristocratic circles Of Europe, was owing her
separation and divorce from her naughty and ar
rogant lord, who became so memorable by the
pomp and majesty of his short rule in India.
For years she had not been heard of, when now
we find her an Eastern ZuIeika and the victim
of q barem's revenge. 1t is said she has been
assassinated in Arabia by lie Harem dan cheik
Ara6e. How beyond all fiction would be the
romance of such a life if faithfully told!
