a LIost Extranrdinarr Casa-

Recently Colonel Richardson, United
States Marshal Of the District of Califor-
MIA, was assassinated in the streets Of
San Francisco, by one Charles Cora an
Italian and a notorious gambler. Shortly
thereafter the fat official vacancy arising
from Richardson's death was filled by
President Pierce, in the appointment of
a Mr.. McDutfee to the responsible Office
in question. Now il appears from the
San francisco BuZstin and other Cali
fornia papers. hat this aforesaid Cora
was the partner or associate of MeDuffee
in the "helT' of the latter and that Yan
Read, who it is alleged, was at the same
time a partner in McDufee's gambling
house, was busy in hunting up testimony
TO get Cora clear of the law, while Nc
dufee was absent, having com on to
Washington to get the Office made vacant
by Gora's bloody hand. Can this be
possible We hope that, with the full
Developments Of the facts, the case
will not appear SO horrible in any light.

The Fnrest Iron Comnanv.

W. paid a visit TO the works belong
ing to this company a few days since in
company with the gentlemany President,
P. White, Esq. The location of the
works is two miles above Collinsville, on
Dead River. Abundant water-power,
connected with a frst-rate building site,
marked it as one of the most advantage
Gus points in the country, for the manu-.
facturc of Iron. This forge was started
as an individual concern, but was soon
merged into a company, as such an or
ganization was the best calculated to in
sure succ IS. The buildings consist Of a
Forge House, with stamping and bellows
rooms under the same roof, a Saw Mill,
Office, and a number of comfortable
dwellings. The land in its vicinity is
well calculated for root crops, oats and
grass, and as fast as cleared is put under
cultivation.
The company have two fires, for smelt-
ing, already built, which were put in OPP
Grafton last summer. Two more are to
be erected in the Spring.
The men employed about the forge
arc busiIy engaged in preparing for a
good summers work, getting out logs
for the mill, wood for charming. and ore
for smelling. They commence the man.
ulacture of iron early the present month,
and will have a good quantity ready for
shipment at the opening of navigation.
~ We could not hep noticing the very
favorable location of the works of this,
company. A broad table of land inter-
venes between the bluffs and the river,
giving ample room for buildings of the
largest kind, and that without extra ex-
pense for rock or earth cutting.
This company will add another to the
.prsduc rs of our country, and undoubt-
eddy will soon rank among u frst.class
establishments in the amount of iron pro-
duced, as they already do in regard to
its qualily.-Lake Superior Journal.

A Free State ont Of Texas.

From various sources we have come
in possession of facts. which go to show
that the Germans, French, Swiss, Hun
garians, and other foreigners, will, ere
long, make a strong demonstration to
form a free State out OF Western Texas.
We have lately conversed with men
from hat part of the State, and they
unhesitatingly aver that the foreigners
there to a man are opposed to Slavery.
There are also men from the North
who are insidious leaders in the move
ment, and are urging the foreigners to
take a bold stand in favor Of the project.
They are busy in the work of drilling
them for the contest, and already boast
of having ten thousand voters.
The struggle for a division will o o
commence. and, although natives of the
State would ike to see a division, yet
they fear to test the question. But
whether. they move or not, the foreign
ers will o for them, and bring on the
issue. The longer the natives of the
State delay action on this subject, the
it will be for them, for their oppo-
nents are gathering numerical strength,
and will doubtless overwhelm them soon
er or LATER, unless our present patent
process Of naturalization is speedily ar
rested.
These patent mills are grinding out
voters with astonishing rapidity, and the
is kept full Of fresh grists from
the old world:
Gentlemen who have lately visited
portion of the State confirm the
above statements.
There is food for reflection to South
elm men in this matter, and the sooner
issue is promptly met, the better ii
will be for all parties.

to this state of things ?-New Orleans

There was no time for thoughtor plan.
The flames rushed forward, and whirl-
ing round the interior, made it at once
their own. The ballet girls and minor
characters of the masque came flying
from their dressing rooms into the pass

instances with difficulty led out in safety
by the police. The loss IS estimated at

Railroad Accident.

There was a frightful accident about
three miles west of st. townsville, on the
Central railroad, on Saturday. When
the mail train from Albany was within a
few rods OF the bridge over East Canada
Greek, the baggage car was thrown off
the track, and the engineer being unable
to stop the train Immediately, it was run
upon the bridge. The locomotive and
tender went over safely, but the baggage
and passenger cars ran of, the -imbers
and fell about half way over towards
the south track, and were held in that
position. The conclusion, as the cars
struck the timbers and stone piers, was
tremendous, and made a complete wreck
of the cars; but fortunately, and it would
seem almost miraculously, not a person
was in the least injured. Both tracks be-
ing obstructed, passengers and baggage
had 10 exchange trains for the day at
the place Of the disaster.-Bufalo Com

Cnha-A Large snear Estate


In the Southern Christian Advocate we
we find an interesting letter from an
American at Cuba, from which we ex-
tract the following. The writer was a
guest at the sugar estate known as the
"Flower of Cuba" and says:
This contains five thousand acres Of
productive lands. We rode for hours
through immense fields of sugar cane,
twelve to eighteen feet high. These
fields are divided by beautiful avenues OF
royal palm and mango trees. Many of
the trees are from sixty to eighty feet
high, in the distance looking like white
marble columns. They commence cut
ting the cane in December, and the top
is used as food for cattle. In Louisiana
the cane has TO be renewed annually
here once in ten or fifteen years. 1t is
hauled in carts drawn by oxen to the
sugar mill, which is usually located in
the centre of the farm.
Formerly the grinding was done by OK
power, but recently the American engine
has been introduced. The buildings
and machinery on this estate cost
three hundred thousand dollars. =
They work eight hundred hands and
about one thousand oxen for five months
in the year. The mill runs night and
day-Sunday and Monday. Three hun
dred acres are planted in vegetables,
fruit, ETC., for the negroes. They make
this year twelve thousand boxes and two
thousand bids. of sugar, besides several
thousand hhds. of molasses. The pro-
duct of this farm would be worth in the
Charleston market one million dollars.

A correspondent of the Ironton Reg

date of 17th ult., SAYS: Last Friday
evening at the close of an anti slavery
meeting in this place. when most of our
people had dispersed, we were assailed
by a band of men from Virginia, arEed
with clubs. We were not suspecting
such an attack and were entirely UMPIRE
pared for it. One of our men, a. S.
Proctor, was assailed first with a club
and then with an axe, swearing he meant
TO kill him, others shouted "klll him."
cd d-m him, kill him." and when
npon the ground struggling with his adj
versary, he was struck over the head
with a rail, and doubtless would have
been killed had he not been saved by
his friends. Henry Radford received u
blow upon the forehead from a rock, cut
ting it severely. Rev. Mr.. Adams re-
ccived a heavy blow injuring him con-
siderably. A young man, Nathaniel
Hall, was knocked down two or three
times, others received blows. l myself

Although Inferior in point Of numbers
and without weapons, we succeeded in
defending ourselves so that not n was
killed, though the most Gend-Iike efforts
made, the most horrid threats and impre-
cations uttered, and yells that certainly
must have been heard at a long distance.
During the affay the mob were hailed
from the other side to know ifIhey want
ed help. thus evidently showing that it
was a p~reconcerted thing.
They dared us to hold another meet

numbers sufficient to whip the whole of
us. And | am informed that they now
