ANOTHER SWINDLING OPERATION
We understand from reliable source that
James NJ. Estell, the present Lessee of the
State Prison, andmember of the Assembly
from Marin county, intends leaving to-
morrow for Washington, to consummate the
vilest scheme Of plunder that has come
under our observation for some time It
seems that he has made propositions to
certain we'll known gentlemen in our city
to sell an interest In the present State
Prison contract, stating that he had the
promise of Broderick-which he consid-
cred equivalent to having the commission
in his pocket-that he should have the
appointment of Sub Treasurer; that he in
tended by his influence in Washington to
effect the removal Of Col. De Russey, who
has charge of the works now progressing
at Fort Point, and of Major Towers, who
has charge Of Alcatrez Island-they being
too honest for his purpose-and to secure
the appointment Of some of his friends to
their places, who would become ready tools
to carry out his design. lie further stated
that he would thus be able to have the
Improvements already made at those points
condemned-get an appropriation through
Congress to have them rebuilt; that with
his office of Sub-Treasurer, the cash for
these operations would be under his con-
troll and with the facilities afforded by
the convict labor at San Quentin and the
furnishing of material for the improve
ments, it would be q splcadjd cas1 opera-
ton. TO accomplish this, it was ncccs-
sary to noninally dispose of his interest
in the State Prison contract, as he could
not hold an office under the Federal and
State Government at the same time
However, he added, while the Prison con-
tract appeared in the name Of another, he
would hold his interest in it indirectly,
and control its management.-Bullcttn Of

COTILLIoN MUsIC-Messrs. Cronk &
Richmond, advertise that they are pre-
pared to furnish Cotillion music. They
officiated, as musicians at the Lower Cal
ayeritas Ball. and those who are Judges of
good time and music, who were at that
pleasant reunion, say that the band was
unsurpassed, and the calling gave gen
eral satisfaction. Messrs. G. & r. still
continue their Dancing School. A new,
and certainly very agreeable feature, has
been introduced into the School at San
Andreas, that is the eintroduction of ladies,
to take lessons with the gentlemen. This
improvement makes the lessons twice as
convenient to learn, and the eight fan
tastic step q perfect compound of agility
and personiied beauty and loveliness. We
of course allude to the ladies, and their
beaus. Heavy heels forbid compromise,
or we should also stand in the relative"
position, now so gracefully filed by some

MURDERS AND RoBBERIEs BY MEX

murders by a band of Mexican robbers,
numbering about sixty men. 1t was as
certained that the band were Ia the neigh
borhood of San Juan, when Sheriff Barton,
OF Los Angeles, accompanied bysix others,
started at night on the 22d ult., to ascer-
tain their position. On the same night
the ruf6ans robbed number Of stores and
killed storekeeper named Charles Flu
gard. The Sheriff (NIr. Burton) and his
party rode about twelve miles from Sepul-
veda's Ranch, towards the San JOAQUIN
mountains, when they were suddenly at
tackled by band of at least twenty rob-
bers. They charged on the robbers, fred
their guns and pistols, and then used them
as clubs. Three of the robbers fell on the
first fire. Baker and Little were killed at
the commencement of the FIGHT. Barton
and the other three had rushed to the aid
OF the others, and charged upon the rob-
bers, firing their guns and then clubbing
them. One of the robbers was heard to
say to Barton: &C d you. have cot

two left of the Sheriff party, and one Of
them being unarmed, they broke for their
lives, and after chase of twelve miles,
they effected their escape by the feetness
of their horses
Upon their return to Los Angeles, a
party of forty men was formed, who started
in pursuit of the robbers Another party
also started out with wagons and collins, to
bring in the bodies. The clothes of the
murdered men were all rifed of their con
tents. The robbers were not overtaken

Look OUT FOR HIN.-A notorious character
says the Stockton Republican, passing under the
name of Kelly, and sometimes Lanus, as neces-
sity requires, has left this city for Calaveras
county He is about five feet eleven inches
high, light complexion and has a cut on the
end of his nose. While here, he carried on an
extensive business in the way of stealing hats,
coats, &c, which he usually pawned for small
sums of money We advise the people of the
interior to watch him.

THE NATIONAL CIRCUS. s.-About six
months since, the proprietors Of the Ma
tional Circus, Messrs Lee & Bennett, dis
patched an agent to the east for the pur-
pose of engaging full and efficient COM
pany for the approaching season. We are
informed that the agent has engaged a
number of the most talented artists to be
found in the Circus profession, either in
the United States or Europe, among whom
may be mentioned Mr. Hiram W. Frank
lin, eworld-renowned general performer
Mr.. Fisher, the great bareback rider,
slack-rope and perche performer; James
Hernandez, the celebrated single eques-
trian Geo. Ryland, vaulter and general
performer; Mr.. Worrell, the great Amer
lean clown and acrobat; together with
many others, forming the greatest combi-
nation of talent ever produced in the
arena on the Pacific coast, or any portion OF
the United States With such combi-
nation Of talent, the National Circus can
not fail of success. The proprietors every
body knows, are gentlemen in every par
ticular, and anything we might say in
their favor would add nothing to their ex-
tensiyely acquired reputation

ALBANY FLAT, Feb. l, 1856.
Mr. Editor:-The good time has come !:
the miners are at work in this vicinity.
and doing well; and, as a consequence.
all things shiae-purses and faces. The
Eureka Ditch, under the control of Mr.. G.
Dolan & Co., is now supplied with an
abundance of water, which is sold to the
miners on liberal terms, and the supply is
not all used up, nor the ground begun to be
worked whici- will pay good wages. This
Ditch supplies all the miners South of
Angels, Greek, including Los Muertos,
Albany Flat, Carson's Hill and Flat, Me-
lones and Indian Creek, besides much
other ground that is well known to be rich
with gold. Much greater facilities are
now offered to miners in procuring water
in this district, than was ever before af-
forded, and with certainty of continual
supply during the season. at Washing
ton Flat, near the head of the Ditch. are
some most excellent hill claims being
worked, besides the many surface claims,
for which it has always been noted. And
for the space of more than two miles the
ditch runs ON ridge of the hills, whose sur
face is full Of gold, and the bottom has
never been prospected-the same range of
hills that pass through San Andreas, Cal
averftas, San Domingo, Bald Hill at An
gels, and Centre Hill at Murphy's and
Douglass Flat, which have been prospected
in all the above named places, and con-
tains fortunes for all who have sought its
hidden treasures. Crossing this ridge,
it enters long flat at the Churubusco
Ranch on the Vallecito road, where good
prospect can be had anywhere in the sur
face, and yet a sluice has never been run
there for the want of water heretofore
Leaving this fiat, it crosses Six-mile Greek,
whose banks and bars, as well as the bed
of the stream, is teeming with gold; and
Indian Creek is in the same state of ma
ture. Concerning Carson's, Albany Flat,
&c, they spoke for themselves years ago,
when there was no water, and have contin-
ued to smile ever since; and it is only
requisite for miners to know that water can
be had, to make them come cut in GOOD
time coming.
| have mined and prospected for four
years in this district, and can truly say that
the mines are not begnn to be worked yet !;
and if you have any of the unlucky
hombres who don't know what to do, let
them do as we do
A sad affray occurred at cabin here
last night, in which man by the name of
Knight, was killed by his partner, Mr..
Garron. 1t appears that Knight was an
aged man, and getting into words with
his partner whilst standing outside the
cabin, Garron pushed him over bush and
struck him as he fell In the fall his
neck was broken. Garron came for the
Doctor, leaving Knight with two other
partners, but when the Doctor arrived, the
man was dead. Garron came to Angels
and surrendered himself to the officers
He appears to be greatly affected at what
has happened. The matter has been ex-
amined before Judge Lake, but no decis-
ion rendered as yet

dance Of fruit-apples, peaches and grapes

slim success at first up there, is now be-
fore us in the shape of a Prospectus to

procured subscriptions but failed to sue

fear the concern will go up the .fuc. We
intend to lead off, next year, with doubly

REMOVAL OF TIE TELEGRApH.-The
Telegraph office stationed at this place.
has been removed to Murphy's, which is
certainly very strange proceeding; done
as it was, without giving our citizens the
least notice of the anticipated change
This change is no doubt the result of some
shenanagan on the part of the company,
the Superintendent, or speculative inhu-
ences. On Tuesday last, the ex-operator
OF Columbia, came here with orders to
disconnect the wires from the battery and
remove the instrument to Murphy's; CIV
ing as a reason, that the office here did
not pay, which may at this time be true,
as but little commercial communication is
now kept up between the mines and the
Bay cities But few of the Stockholders
being present, no concert of action was had.
at that time to prevent the breach of faith
thus manifestly perpetrated When the
company was first organized, the President.
Mr.. Strong, solicited subscriptions of stock,
in and around this Camp, to the amount
of $4,000, stating that should $4,000 be
raised he would guarantee an office to the
citizens of San Andreas this amount, we
understand was subscribed, and the Office
accordingly located here; but it seems
there is new President, CT Superinten-
dent, who has sought near market for
the instrument, and in consideration of
$500 being paid by the citizens of Muir
phys, the Office is removed up there
Now we charge this as a breach of faith
to the citizens of this Camp; if the COM
pany wish to change their office, let them
redeem their pledges to our citizens, by
returning the money thus conditionally
advanced. 1t is fraud for the company
to thus clandestinely remove the office from
San Andreas. We hope Mr. Gamble, the
Superintendent, will explain the matter,
as it will certainly be to the company'sad-
vantage to have amicable relations kept up
in this vicinity. Monopolies or corporate
: companies cannot, at their pleasure, i'm
pose on this communicable thing has
been tried, and with most signal failure.
There are men, in this part of the mines,
who would spend their bottom dollar be-
fore they would suffer any incorporated
monopoly to collect tribute or inhict I'M
positions on them indiscriminately. AS
for ourselves, we have no stock in the con-
cern, and have no complaint to make
We certainly will not much feel the loss of
the office as we never could get dispatch
sent promptly through, or receive one di-
rectly, until just such time as the Sacra-
mento operator had his pleasure suited
The last dispatch received by us was the
caucus vote, when Broderick was nomina-
ted, on the 10th of January. Since be-
fore then we had dispatch paid for IN
advance, but could not get it through any
sooner than the same news was brought to
us by the Stockton stage. We understand
the Stockholders, of the line, in this part
of the county, will take some action to
have their rights guaranteed to them, and
their interests respected in future.
