THE SrEAKERsuIp.-The Marysville Express.
in announcing Col. e. N. Whitesidcs as a can
didate for the Speakership of the Assembly, thus
speaks of his qualifications:
He is a modest and unambitious gentleman
of great personal popularity, Of unexceptionable
moral character and Of very decided talent.
He is a permanent resident a man OF family.
and an old Californian. He has filled the place
of Speaker of the House in Wisconsin, from
which State he emigrated, and we have heard
from good and abundant authority that he then
discharged the responsible duties Of the place
with ability. leaving it with popularity acquir-
ed by very few public men. He was equally
remarkable for his urbanty, for his lirmness,
and for his acquaintance with parliamentary
rules and usages. Col. Whtesides was also
honored with other high positions in Wisconsin,
having occupied seat in the Convention in that
State VIII ch formed her present Constitution.

THE ADDICTION CBsE.-Thc Benicia Icrald
has the finale of the affair at Nacavile ia which
Mr.. Il. II. Vance was stated TO have been alb
Quoted from his house, on the night Of Septem-
Der 18th. The Herald says:
One of the party then approached Mr.. Vance
with pistol ready drawn, when that gentle.
man, thinking it time to make demonstration
for his life, grabbed the pistol, and in the en-
deayor to arrest il from the assassin ii went Off
the contents taking effect in the mans head.
Finding himself unhurt, Mr.. Vance made for the
window and escaped, with nothing on but his
night shirt Making the best time possible he
reached the top Of the hill in the vicinity, and
on finding that his pursucrs had lost the track,
sat down, aud taking off his shirt, tore il up,
ana bound his feet. which were dreadfully lace
rated, with the pieces. Having somewhat re-
covered from bis surprise, he proceeded TO the
house Of Senor Naca, who administered to his
wants. On Sunday he came to Benicia. Re-
turning on Monday, he made affidavit against
certain parties, most Of whom have been arrest
ed and are now in custody. The person who
was shot has not been taken but officers are in
pursuit. One of the Would-bc assassins, named
Wallace, has turned States evidence, and to
secure himself, will probably convict the others.
The cause of this murderous assault appears
tn have been that Mr. Vance bought tract Of
land upon which the assauliing party were or
are settlers. and failing to oust him by law,
they perhaps thought that by killing him the
title would be definitely settled in themselves.
The persons charged with this grave of
fence are as follows VIM Culbertson, Stephen
Pu"dy, Jonathan Shirley Nicholas Munshuer,
and Amos Winchell.

NEVADA DEMOCRAT.
WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPT. 20, 1857.
.ssassInatIon of Mr.. Sullivan, the British
Minister at Lima.

uUAhASNCN AZ
The most startling news we have from Peru
;s the assassination of the Hon. S. II. Sullivan
The British Minister at Lima The accounts OF
this melancholy affair, as given by the press OF
Lima and letter-writers, are conflicting, and the
cause assigned is equally unsatisfactory. From
.be most reliable account learn that on the
lIth of August, while Mr.. Sullivan was dining
with a lady friend at house near the theater,
A party of some fifteen persons surrounded the
building. six of whom entered, the rest remain
ing outside. Upon Mr.. Sullivan being advised
by his servant that some persons had rudely
entered the house. he left his seat at the table
TO see what was the matter, and was met at the
dning.room door by person in a mask, who
upon being asked who he was and what he want
ed, deliberately drew pistol aud discharged it
Mt Mr.. Sullivan who fell, pierced through the
body. The perpetrator of the crime and his
accomplices Immediately fed, and had not been
identified or apprehended when the steamer
called from Callao. Mr. Sullivan was still alive
when the steamer left but il was thought he
could not survive many hours.
1T is cuniectured by some that be was murder
ed for the British interference in the matter of
the THnbez and Loa Others ascribe it as the
result of an intrigue with lady. The Peruvi-
ans are particularly anxious to give the latter
complexion to the matter. The Government is
said to be alarmed about the affair. and the war
steamer UTydh and 7lnbez were to be dispatched
South for President Castillo. The British war
vessel Vi1en has been sent TO Payta in search of
Admiral Bruce. But that officer has written to
the English Consul at Panama, as am eredibly
Informed, that be couli not go to Callao, as he
had made his arrangements to proceed to Val
paraiso. Mr.. Sullivan is said TO be newhew
of Lord Palmerston; others say that he is his
natural son. The Government of Peru has of
fered reward of three thousand dollars for the
apprehension of the murderer and his accom-
plices. A Frenchman and q negro had been
arrested at Callao, on suspision of being parties
to the murder.
The Callae correspondent of the Star and
Herald, under date of August 18th, o'clock
p. NJ, gives the following rumor:
1t is now reported that the act was committed
by some Of tho most respectable persons of
Lima. However, l will give you the rumor:
It appears short time ago ball was given by
one Of the leading families of Lima, and that
Mr. Sullivan took there a well known prostitute
that he had kept long time as his mistress; the
gentlemen present demonstrated with him. call
ing his attention to the fact that it was gross
insult to all persons present, to which he is said
20 have replied that she was as good as any
woman present or in Lima, and that they were
all a set Of prostitutes Cor. Bulletin.

RUMoRED SEIZURE OF FoRNosA BY THE AMERI-

possession of the Island of Formosa as security
fer the payment by the Chinese for damages to

source likely to be well informed, and is as fol-

THE announcement of Beranger's death re-
calls, says the Post, incident that is said to
have happened at Harvard College few years
ago. One of the students had prepared for
public exhibition a disquisition on "Beranger."
A few days before the time appointed for its
delivery. the death of the poet was announced
in the papers, and seemed to afford an opportu-
nifty for the display of unusual eloquence. The
pereration began: "Beranger is dead; he is
followed to his grave by his country's love and
the homage of the world" Unluckily, on the
merRing of the exhibition the report was con-
tradicted. The orator, determined not to lose
bis fine passage. said. "Beranger is not dead;
he is not followed to his grave by his country
love and the homage of the world'-and re-
tired amid rounds of applause.

PURCHASE OF Mr. VERNON BY THE MAsoNs.--
The following proposition has been published
in one of the Eastern newspapers, as orignat-
ing from some Masonic lodges:
The plan proposed is to get the subordinate
lodges to contribute S for each member The
price asked for the Mt. Vernon estate is $780,
00G, and the Masonic statistics show the order
numbers three buudred thousand; so that if all
the lodges in the Union accede to the PROPOSE
tion, and the probability is that they will the
purchase of Mount Vernon may be looked upon
as q fixed fact. But the suggestion, as given
out does not stop here.
When the land which contains the last mortal
remains of the immortal Washington is pos
Gessed by the Masons they propose to present
il to the State of Virginia, only reserving 10
their order the right to meet around tho tomb
Of their deceased brother once every year, to
celebrate his imperishable deeds and to keep
alive his great name. We have strong faith in
this patriotic plan for the purchase of Mount
Vernon, knowing, as we do that the order from
which it emanates are ever ready for good deeds
and never look back when they put their hands
to the plough. Let every true Mason feel that
the tomb of Washington can only be preserved
from decay by his efforts, and but a few short
months will roll by ere it will be the property
of that State which gave him birth, aud to
whose keeping alone his ashes should be en.rus-
tcd.

Remarkable Instance OF Human Endurance
The Red Bluff Beacon, of Wednesday, contains
the following, which may be considered as hay
ing reference to very singulaa case:
"An instance of the most remarkable forti-
tude and heart-rending cruelty we ever heard
of, is related to us by black man, by the name
of Scott, who has recently arrived here from
Missouri, by way of the Plains. He informs us
that short time before he arrived at Stony
Point, on the Humbolt River, the Indians at
tackled a train of six men and woman and
child. The men were all killed but one, who
made his escape The child was also killed. and
its mother shot in several places with arrows.
scalped, and left for dead. All the while they
were scalping her and stripping the clothes
from her body, she was perfectly concious of
what they were doing, but feigned death, and
let them tear the skin from her head without
even giving signs of life, knowing that fshe did
they would either despatch her at once, or take
her into hopeless captivity At one time, when
they had left for moment, she ventured to
change her position in order, if possible to re-
lieve herself from the uncomfortable one in
which she was lying, but on their return they
very soon discovered that she had moved. and
for fear that her life might yet be instinct, they
took hold of the arrows that were still sticking
in her body, and worked them about in the
wounds and pushed them deeper into her flesh,
and stamped upon her with their heels. All
this she endured without uttcrug groan, or
drawing breath that could be perceived by
the savages, and in that condition was left as
fooa for the wolves. Fortunately however.

her wounds; her head, we are told is nearly

any one expected. She will be in the valley in
few dnys, and We think it woud be no more
than the citizens ought to do, TO provide her
with home, if she desires to remain with us,
