RAsEY BTvEN.-This gentleman who was sup
posed to have suffered the same fate as poor
Crabb, and who no doubt contemplated pouring
out his blood to satisfy the vengeance of the
ardly butch ers, has, by almost a miracle, escaped
assassination, and is now in Mazatlan and will, as
soon as his family join him, return to California
to vindicate as he says, the memory of those who
are gone. In a letter to the .4ita he says:
A day of reckoning must surely come for Pes
quoira Yurgo, Curvillas, and their Satelites.-
Not only have they betrayed and massacred Mr..
Crabb's party. bnt are waging a war against all
who speak English, in hopes that the United
States Government will take possession Of Sonora
for their outrages and they will, at last, succeed
in belonging to the United States, and their i'm
mense possessions become of value. This is their
great object. 1t was their object when they in
vited Crabb but as he did not come strong
enough, and they did not choose to fight them
selves, they betrayed him, and are now commit
ting all the outrages they can, in hopes that their
schemes may still be carried out, by forcible
possession OF the country by the Americans, and
their duty TO enrich themselves. Such is Mexican
character
Among the many noble hearts stilled by the
blood-thirsty scoundrels, we see recorded the
name Of our old friend, Dr.. Snead, of Virginia
formerly Coroner of Los Angeles County, who
joined Crabb at the Monte, u miles from Los
Angeles. Peace to his ashes

HORRIBLE MURDER IN NEwBURGH, New YORK.
The people Of Orange county are in state of
very natural excitement with regard to myste-
rious murder which had come TO light near New
burgh.
A farmer, on going out to SOW grain in plowcd
field, found the dead body Of woman nearly
naked and exhibiting marks of violence which in
dicated that she had been murdered and thrown
over the fercc. The only article of dress found
near her was one of her shoes, which was on the
other side of the fence a cameo brcastpin was
found a few yards further off, which would seem
to indicate that the clothes had been taken from
the body on the spot, aud this pin dropped by ac-
cident.

THUNDER.-On Monday last we had fright
smart rafting of thunder and flashing of light

day, however, there came little shower, which

the flowers the appearance of having been newly

that the rain has not entirely dried up" for the

CALIFORNIA SILVER MNEs.-It is now settled
beyond much possibility of doubt says the
State Journal, that the silver mines recently dis
covered about forty miles from the city of San
Bernardino, in this State, are of immense value.
We have personal information to that effect, for
we know of specimens of the ore from these mines
being smelted, which proved to be from seventy
to ninety per cent. pure silver. The process of
working these mines is entirely different from
that of the gold mines. There is as good a
chance for the enterprsing NTH capital as there
was in the gold mines in l8i9, and The probabil-
ty of acquiring wealth much greater than at pres
cnt in the gold mining regions AS far as the
deposits of precious metals are concerned, Cali
fornia has taken and will take the lead 1t is
hardly ncccssasy for our people to risk their
lives among the savages of Mexico if they wish
to hunt for this material.
