CAPTURE OF RoBBERs.-From the Calaveras
Chronicle, of Saturday last, we learn that SIX oil
Tom Bell's gang of robbers have been captured
by the Sheriff of Calaveras county and his depu-
ties. By some means reliable information was
obtained of the different rendezvous of the gang.
Sheriff Clark with three deputies, started for one
rendezvous about twenty-eight miles above
Marysville and succeeded in arresting two OF
of the gang. Two others were arrested in Tu-
lare county, by Under Sheriff Milford, and sew
eral deputies Five of the banditte are now
confined in the Jail at Mokelumne Hill, and 9TH
ers will doubtless soon be arrested. From the
exertions that are now being made by the au-
thorities. there is reason to believe that the
gang will soon be broken up. Jack Phillips,
who was arrested at the Mountaineer House,
near Auburn. has been taken to Calaveras. The
Stockton Argus says that Under Sheriff Mulford
is now on the trail of Tom Bell in Tulare coun-
ty. Bell was supposed to have been with the
party of robbers who had the fight with the au-
thorities of Placer county on Wednesday last,
where Conway, one of their gang was killed, but
this is not certain, and in the course of day or
two we may hear of his capture in Tulare coun-

REVOLUTION IN PERU-The Panama Star learns
by recent advises from Peru that the long slum-
bering hatred against President Castillo had
broken out in open revolution. An engagement
took place on the night of the 18th of Auuust
between the revolutionsts and the government
party, headed by General Castillo. Several
persons were killed during the engagement. and
the horse OF the President was shot under him
aIteT rather severe engagement the President
niaiiy succeeded In overcoming the revolution
's'S; tne engagement having lasted several hours.
This we look upon as the first stem toa,o's. =
the overthrow of Castilla's rule: and will no
doubt, be followed by succession of outbreotS
against ms government which must, sooner or
later, result in his overthrow ''i VI

ATTEMPT AT RoBBERY.-A man Inv tho mama
OF woods was arrested on Monday morning last
Tor attempting to rob man at the Virginia
House, who slept in the same room with him the
nlght previous. He was examined before JUS
tce Van Hagan on Monday, and committed to
jail In default of bail Woods is the same man
who was shot at and wounded in Washington
some weeks ago; on the suspicion of being a
robber 1t is said that he has lived about Wash
ington and Alpha for some time; that he alwevs
had plenty of money, and no visible means of
getting it.

Another Destructive Fire In Plaeervilie.-
Loss of Life and over $4,000 worth of Pro-
perty Consumed.
PIAcERvILIE, Oct I'd
A destructive fire occurred in the portion OF
our town known as Upper Placerville, at live
o'clock this morning 1t originated 1t is sup
posed under the following circumstances A
man named John Murdock had been on drun-
ken spree during the evening previous and re-
firing to his room in the Pittsburg House with
a candle about half an hour before the fire was
discovered, it is presumed that he had placed it
near the ceiling, which was doubtless the cause
of the fire. The poor fellow was the victim OF
his own folly, being burned to death. The
principal losses are as follows: J. W. Foster,
groceries, $4,000; T. Wilcox, groceries, sS,OOO;
N. Flagg, groceries, $4,000; A. G. Crosby, foun-
dry, $4,000; N. Wondly livery stable and Pitts

an able and eloquent exposition of the issues

out with warm and repeated applause.

DENNIS KEEFE.-It will be remembered that
Dennis Keefe, indicted for murder in this coun-
ty, escaped Jail some months ago, and has not
since been heard from. On Friday last the Sher-
i'll of Calaveras county arrived in Sacramento
with two State convicts named Donnelly and
Dennis, the former having been sentenced to ten
years Imprisonment for horse stealing, and the
latter for a like term for stealing gold dust
The Union understands that Donnelly is the no

FIRE AT GoLD HHIs-LIsT OF LossEs.-The
fourishng mining town of Gold Hill, in this
county, was almost completely destroyed by
fire on Thursday morning The fire took place
about four O'Clock in the morning, in Mr.. Jobs
store, and before the citizens were fairly arous-
ed the flames had made such headway that all
attempts to extinguish them were useless. The
origin of the fire is not known. A party had
been up in the store during the night, amusing
themselves at game of cards. but they had
gone to bed about half or three-quarters of an
hour before the fire was discovered. Mr.. Job,
who was the last one in bed, was careful to ex-
tinguish all the lights, and to see that every
thing was secure about the store. The follow
ing is list of losses, for which we are indebted

shooting ARRAY at Diamond Springs.

From telegraphic dispatch, dated Diamond
Springs. last evening, we learn that Samuel s.
Smith. an old resident of that place, shot man
by the name of Rhodes, about one O'Clock, on
Monday. The difficulty occurred in the street,
both parties being drunk. Smith was on horse
back, riding up and down the sidewalk and
into the saloons, &c. Rhodes was on the side
walk and struck Smiths horse several times,
telling him that he should not ride over him.
Smith told him that if he struck his horse again
he (Smith) would shoot the top of his head off.
A few moments afterwards Smith came riding
up the sidewalk again and Rhodes struck his
borse over the head to prevent his riding over
him; whereupon Smith drew revolver and de-
liberately shot him. The ball entered above
and came out back of the ear. The wound is
considered mortal. The officers and citizens
are in pursuit of Smith, and have been in sight
of him, but being mounted on a feet horse, he
has succeeded in keeping out of the way. Sc
veral Intellectual shots were fired at him as he
left the town. The act was done in the pre-
sence of over hundred citizens. Smith ant
Rhodes are both good quiet citizens when no
intoxicated, and both have families.

LATEST FROM CHINA.-The Lizzie Jarvis arrived
from China on Wedneday last.
The rebels have gained great victory, and
are preparing with twenty thousand men to
attack Canton.
A statement was published ia some of the San
Francisco papers to the effect that rice had ad-
vanced forty per cent in consequence of the
destruction of the crops by inundation; but the
fact that the C6nradine LqcEman sailed from
Hongkong only two days previous to the Lizzie
Jarvis, and brought no news of any floods or adj
vance in prices, it is believed that the report
was put in circulation by SPECTATORS in San
Francisco, for tha purpose of raising the price
of the article ia the California market.

AFFAIRS OF ADAMS q Co.-The San Francisco
Globe and Bulletin have got into a controversy
about the affairs of Adams & Co. We have not
for long time pretended to keep the run OF
this afair-having become satisfied that the
creditors of this ''model" banking house would
never get dollar of the funds that went to San
Francisco. Between the receivers, lawyers, and
others, the money will all be used up, and as far
as the creditors are concerned, the funds might
as well have remained in the hands of Cohen as
with Nagle, the present receiver. In Nevada
and Yuba counties considerable number Of
attachments were issued against the firm as soon
as it was known they had suspended, and the
money was paid over to the creditors, by order
of Judge Barbour, before the decision of the
Supreme Court was made, requiring all the mo-
ney to be paid over to the receiver. In Sonora
the creditors took the matter into their own
hands, appointed tellers and paid off the deposit
tors. With these exceptions, the assets of the
house, which must have amounted to near
million dollars, have all been squandered by the
dishonest receivers and lawyers who have had
charge of the matter.
