Several others have been robbed of botll
provisions and money. Horse-stealing is
carried ON by this band of sesparadoes on
such wholesale scale. that there are now
hardly any horses in the hands of Free
State settlers in that vicinity; not only do
they stop and plumber teams, farm houses,
DC, but several attempts have been made
to murder. We are informed that on
Thursday evening Mr.. d.. A. Clayton, jr.,
who is. known TO be an uncompromlSing
Free State man, just after returning from
Lawrence, while picketing out his horse
was fred at by two riIfians, who had Sc
creted themselves in some brush near the
path, where he proposed feeding his horse.
NJ. Clayton very promptly returned the
fire, when the rufiiaifs took to tie bushes,
one of them limping as he went. ..
This Coleman has erected a log fort at
the head of Rull Greek, which is about
fourteen miles east of Palmyra, which is
manned by about 80 armed men, and three
cannon. 1t is at this place that all the
plunder in the shape of provisions, guns,
DC, is deposited by their guerrilla parties.
And what makes the case still more ag-
gravating is, that. Company l, of the Uni
ted States DTgeons-whol have been en-
rolled by order of the Administration from
Col. Rufore's company, who conducted
themselves so gallantly at the destruction
of Lawrence, that Pierce, Douglas and
Buchanan thought it necessary to take them
into regular service, in order that they
might have men to rely upon to do their
dirty work-haye been stationed at Pal

the assumption thatenougli was leftte pay
the mortgage debt. 49,.
II may be doubted whether the mortga-
ger of personal property. possesses an inter-
est in it which Is the subject Of levy by~ex-
ecution. 1t is certain that the purchaser
cannot perfect his title without baying the
mortgage the amount of his debt. The
fact that this steelwas purchased subsdquen-
ty to the mortgage, makes no difference.
This Court held in the case of Coe as.
Knox County Bank and others, tha: this
mortgage did pass aferaequired property
OF this nature, and it is obvious that with
out this principle the mortgage would be
no security. Whether such would be the
law in the case of an ordinary chattel mort
gage containing clause designed to en-
brace such chattels as the mortgagor might
afterwards acquire, this Court had not de-
eided. But an Incorporated Railroad is an
entirety. The Legislature has distinguish
ed mortgages by Railroads from all other
mortgages in the mode and manner of their
record. See Swans Statues, page 242.-
A Railroad can own no property but such
as is essential to the prosecution of its bust
ness, and the prosecution of its business is
its only mode of paying any of its detts.
Much more is this true with regard to a
creditorz who advances money TO build and
equip the road upon the faith Of famertgage
executed at the time of the advance and
before the road is either built or equipped.
The road, its equipments and It's revenue
are pledged to the creditor The revenue
is to be semiannually accumulated to pay
the semi-annual installments of interest,
and the nortgee has this lieu upon it, as
fast as it is earned. IT,, -. -

Charles summers HeaEtsa--AHis
Feeble COnGisf0n--7Trs. Swiss
EselMl Visits Him and Tells all
ssbNsrt II.

Mrs. Jane Swisshelm, tantalized by the
various and conflicting accounts of the heal
tn of Charles Sumner, visited him at his
retreat in the mountains, few days since,
and on the 23rd wrote along letter to the
Tribune, from which we make extracts.
She says of DR.. Jackson, at whose private
residence Mr.. Sumner is staying: d..
The Doctor is a Democrat and most ac-
complished surgeon, and says he thinks
there is blood now settled or congested in
the vessels of the membrane, which lines
the brain pan, but that with plenty of
mountain air, generous diet and exercise it
will gradually be absorbed, and he be re-
stored to his full vigor.
OF Mr.. Sumner:
For the two days I was there I watched
Mr.. Sumner closely, bringing to bear upon
his case thirty years experience offrequent
and sometimes long periods of nursing the
sick, and think there is ample room for The
worst apprehensions of his friends. He
rides on horseback, over the toughest noun
tain paths, twelve or fourteen miles day,
and returns with a good appetite for dinner ;
but walk Of a quarter of mile prostrates
him very much Prior to this injury, he
was considered the best pedestrian in Wash
ington, and ten or twelve miles was only
pleasant exercise to him. .'
He has all the impatience OF ordinary
men in illness, or i'll tlle prospect of restraint,
and assures everybody that he is doing well,
feels very well, is quite strong, and will
surely be able to go to Washington in two
weeks. Mr.. Burlingalne assures me with
fears in ilis SSes, that This was what he al
ways said. Ever since his injury he has
been going TO be quite well in two weeks !;
but when he rises from his chair he takes
hold of the table. His gait at first glance,
appears that OF q man Of ninety years of age;
but watching lin while, felt that it
was the very Kind of step one takes When
creeping through a darkened chamber 1lI-
der the influence Of 4 paroxysm of nervous
headache; but he says, with a kind Of lofty
incredulous scorn, that his head does not
achel Sometimes he feels a pressure on the
top Of his head and it appears to hurt him
when he walks; but he will be ready to go
to Washington in two weeks.
1t is Il remarkable fact, that | never saw
n sick man who WAS not either going TO die
in half an hour, or would not be ready to
go 10 Washington in two weeks ,7'a. ..
Mr.. Burlingame came on Friday evening,
about SIX o'clock, in company with a lady
and gent from Philadelphia. He had not
seen Midsummer since the Brooks challenge,
and we all sat together until after eleven
O'clock. There was much TO be told, and
said, and explained. Without any person
al resemblance, these two appeared together
like father and son; but / could give no
idea of their interview, even so much of il

B6F DR.. L. J. Czapkay.-The gentleman
whose name forms the caption of this notice is
one of the few modern physicians whose appl-
cation to his profession and devotion to the af
fiicted, render him alike an ornament to the
one and benefit to the otter. A Hungarian
by birth, he sought with Kossuth to place bis
country among the nations of the earth, beyond
the oppressor's rule that her sons might re-
Joice in the practice of those precepts which
are alike our glory and our pride. In his efforts
so TO do, ne has reaped the reward Of Intellectual
resistance to oppression and " 81 home and
country know him no more" Apart, however,
from his claims upon our consideration as a
patriot, the testimonials of character and ca
pacity which he brings entitle him to public
confidence, to the exclusion of those who pos
sess neither the one or the other AS gentle-
man his character is untarnished: as a physi-
clan, his skill unsurpassed; and to those whose
imprudence has left upon them the taints of
disease, we can conscientiously commend him
with the assurance that in him they will find
friend whom to know is great gain. The Dr.

THE "MYsTERY."-We learn by q gentleman
just from Angels, that Drs. Boon & Kelly, have
found forty-fre skeletons, in all, at Salt Spring
Valley; twenty-four SOULS are now at their Of
fee, in Angels. They were not found at Col
brooks ranch, but on the ranch of Madam Felix,
in Salt Spring Valley, about one and one-half
miles from the ranch Of the Colbrook's. The
skeletons were found in space of about seven
feet square, buried from two to three feet deep.
The Valley is twelve miles from Angels. Opin-
ion is, that they are the remains of Indians and
Spaniards. Some Of the sculls are well-formed
and well-featured. There is apparent evidence,
to infer that the bodies had been all buried
at the same time, number of years ago, before
gold was discovered.
In the early history of California the differ
ent Missions practiced the plan of renewing their
supply of Wild Indians by sending up to the
mountains "whippers in" to collect Poems for
uses of servitude and Christianity. In these
excursions many severe battles were fought,
and this mystery" is no doubt the result of
some desperate conflict between the Spaniards
and Indians. Capt. Merritt, an old hunter, who
was many years " whipper in" and formerly
in the service of Capt. Sutter, informed u.s. in
January, l849, that it was a common practice,
before the Americans came to California. for
Peon-catchers to attack whole Rancherias OF
Indians and secure them as prisoners. After the
battle, 1t was customary to select from those
captured, all the wounded old, manned, or in
firm, and shoot them, burying the dead in SIM
liar manner to the skeletons just found, reserv-
ing only the young and likely as prisoners for
servitude, to be bartered to the Ranchero or
Mission, that would pay the highest price for
the commodity.
The place in question was no doubt the an
cient abode of an Indian Tribe, that was ami.
hilated by one of these marauding excursions
and this accounts for the quantity of sculls, oil
different types, in the same state of preservation
being found in the condition as above described
by our informant.
The old hunter, Capt. Merit, is dead now,
but we have treasured many of his stories Of
fights and flights with the California Indians
and "Span-yang-yan-iards, suffered out in the
richest flow of glee, as he told, how " on the
b-b-anks of the Sag-a-ra ag-a-ra-mento, he had
