ATTEMPTED ROBBERY OF STAGE Coach

ATTEMPTED ROBBERY OF STAGE CoAcII.
We understand from the messenger of
Wells Fargo d Co., that an attempt was
made yesterday, Aug. 4lh, to rob one of the
stage coaches about half mile above the
Wankesha House, on the Coloma road
Two men, mounted on horse back, and arm
ed with guns, rode up to the driver of the
coach, and ordered him to stop, They then
looked into the stage, and seeing more per
sons, in all probability than they expected to
find, put spurs to their horses, and disappear

ABOLITION VIEW OF FREMoNr's CHANCES.
AS matter of news we give the following
from the National Ero, printed at Washing
ton City, and known as the leading organ
of the pure abolitionists throughout the
United States.
Mr.. Buchanan will receive, we presume,
the whole electoral vote of the South, or one
hundred and twenty votes Let us suppose
that the nominee of the Phadel phia Conven-
ton shall obtain the electoral vote of New
England, New York, Ohio, Michigan and
Wisconsin, the debaeable States will be
Pennsylvania, New jersey, Indiana, Illinois,
Iowa and California. As for carrying Cafor-
MIA for the Republican candidate, the suppo
sition is wild. That State is slavery ridden
both the Wing and Democratic parties there
have always been distinguished by their sub
serviency to slavery. We might as well hope
for Missouri. In Pennsylvania, as against
Fremont, Buchanan would in all probability
command the entire Democratic vote and a
large portion of the old conservative whig
vote. Now, with his one hundred and twenty
votes, he would need only Pennsylvania and
Kew Jersey, or Pennsylvania and California;:
the last two would raise his vote to $50, one
more than necessary to elect.
The available candidate, as against Bucha-
nan, must be able to beat him in his own
State, and carry New Jersey.

DEMocRATIC FEELING IN SHAsTA.-The
Shasta Courier, in speaking of the proceed
ings of a Democratic meeting in Shasta says:
Shasta county will give very decided
majority this fall for the Democracy. Indeed
there seems to be very little opposition to
our nominees in this section of the State and
we feel very confident that at no time has
the Democracy been in such high spirits, or
the prospects for victory half SO great as they
now are.

RAISING THE SAFE OF THE AMERICAN EX-
PRESS COMPANY FROM THE STEAMER ATLANTIC.
A THRILLING ScENE.-The Detroit Adver-
tiser of June 29th contains the following:
A submarine diver from Buffalo has at
last succeeded in raising the safe of the Amer
lean Express Company which was lost when
the steamer Atlantic was sunk off long point
in 1852 1t will be recollerted that this
steamer was instantly sunk by collision with
propeller, and that large number of pas
sengers were lost. The diver was protected
by copper armor. and was under water forty
minutes, during which time he had strange
adventures. The upper deck of the steamer
lies one hundred and sixty feet under water,
and far below where there is any current or
motion. Everything. therefore, is exactly as
it first went down. When the diver alighted
upon the deck he was saluted by beautiful
lady, elegantly dressed. AS he approached
her, the motion Of the water caused an
oscillation of the head, as if gracefully bowing
to him. She was standing erect, with one
hand graSping the rigging. Around lav the
bodies Of several others as if sleeping. Chill
dren held their friends bv their hands, and
mothers with their babes in their arms were
there. In the cabin the furniture was still
untouched by decay, and to all appearance
had Just been arranged by some careful and
tastefu. hand.
In the office he found the safe, and was en-
abled to move it with ease and took it upon
deck, where the graphing irons were fastened
on and the prize brought safely to light
Upon opening the safe it displayed its
contents in perfect state of preservation
There was in the safe IS 900 in gold $500
in bills Of the government Stock Bank, and a
large amount of bills on other banks, a.
mounting in all to $50, ,0OO The papers were
uninjured, except that they smeled very
strongly of decayed human bodies, as if it had
laid for so many years in coffin with their
owners. Of course, all this money goes to
the persons interested in this wonderful ad-
venture
The Detroit Free Press says: The new
bills we are told, are comparatively uninjured
by their long imprisonment and exposure
to dampness, but the old ones are quite niur-
ed and defaced whether so much as to prevent
their Identification and redemption we have
not learned. There are several thousand dol
lars on the exploded Government Stock Bank
of Ann Arbor' included in the amount recov-

A gentleman who was an eyewitness ha


sent us the following characteristic moroccan:
During the inauguration of Gen. Taylor,
at Washington, d. G, March 4th ls49, the
police regulations, as usual, required that after
the speech of the President had commence
ed, the gates of the capitol grounds should be
closed and no carriage allowed to pass, until
the speech was finished, to prevent confusion.
The Minister of all the Russias, NJ. Bodis-
co was very late, and, after the speech had be-
gun drove up to the gate in great haste, the
horses covered with foam,-when the coach
man shouted to the guard-'open ze gates iv
VOW p es"-the guard shook his head and
stood still:-the tootman next called out "will
you open re gate for re Russian Minister.'
the guard again shook his head without an
swerlng word: next the grand Minister put
his head out Of the carriage window, and cal
led to the guard, "open re gates to re grand
Minister of all the Russias, Minister Plenipo-
tentiary, NJ. Bodsco, am &c Minister"
There was great crowd around the gates
within and without, and all this fuss created
quite stir. The guard drew himself up, and
in a firm and pleasant manner replied, "lf
YOU were free born American Citizen of
these United States of America YOU could
not pass these gates now, in a carriage"
The crowd came very near giving three
cheers for the guard, but better manners
prevailed; and Mr.. Bodisco, stepped out of
his elegant equipage, and entered the side
gate, with the sovereign people; his carriage
remaining outside until the ceremonies were
over.-Hutching's California Mogozine

The Position of the German Papers.

We see in the Globe of yesterday a
statement that "the New York Post claims
that all the German papers of the West are
in favor of the nomination of Fremont"
This statement is probably put forth upon the
stength given by the Cincinnati Gazette
of the 10th instant, of a meeting at Cincinnati
the previous evening of ten editors of German
papers of the West, representing, as it was
said, 10000 subscribers, and pledging them
elves to support the nomiees of President
and Vice President of the United States to
be made by the black republican conven-
ton in Philadelphia.
An intelligent German assures us that there
was not leading German paper connected
with that movement; and in fact, that there
is no one leading the German papers Of any
considerable political influence in the Union
that is favorable to the black republican
movement and its champions be they FIRE.
mont, Banks Chase, Mclean or anybody else
OF the ten papers that formed the league of
black fellowship at Cincinnati, four are pub
lished at that place, one at Chicago, one at
Pittsburgh, one at Cleveland, one at Indian
opolis, and two remaining at some of the OBJ
scure villages in Ohio, Indiana or Illinois. The
circulation of all ten together is but few
hundred more than of one democratic paper
in the West, the 'Volksfreund,' at Cincinnati;
less than one-half of that old staunch demo-
cratic party Journal the New York Staatzei
tung," and but about fifteen hundred more
than of the German paper of the Northwest,
of the Banner and Volksfreund," at Milwau-
kee.
These facts are stated solely with a view
to disarm the statement of the New York
Pos" of the force which might be attached
to it in certain know nothing quarters, who
may and perhaps do, rely upon charging the
the adopted citizens Of this country with being
all ablitionists.- - Wash. Union.
