A Murraln ApprOaohlng

A correspondent Of ths London Times
says that an exceedingly fatal epidemic
has been for some time rayaging the herds
Of Central Europe. aud has now reached
Koniugsburg, where one proprietor is
said to have lost three hundred head in
one night. The writer says:
"In 1745, the same or like epidemic
was introduced into Euglrnd by means Of
two calves from Holland. In the second
year after its introduction over 10000
cattle died in Nottinghamshire and Lice
esterrhire, and almost as many more ia
Chcsire. During the third year uumer-
alton was made by the government who
had ordered the destruction of diseased
cattle, for no fower thon $4,000 head,
while twice as many more, according to
The report Of the commissioners, died OF
the malady. In the fourth year it was e.
qually fatal, nor does it appear to have
completely disappeared till eight years af-
ter"
os the Continent every exertion is be
ing made to arrest the progress of the in.
fectiOn, and military detatchments are
charged to destroy all cattle that become
injected in Prussia. If only one of a
herd should be attacked. the authorities
order the whole to be slaughtered; ane
cOraous saaitaircs are established along
The frontiers to prevent the ingress Of cat.
tie from districts in which the disease
exists. If these statements are not ex
Iaggerated, the loss of so many cattle
must seriously diminish the supply o.
food in Europe, and may give rise to in
surrectionary movements on the part o
the people.

PoSTPoNEMENT OF THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH
ENTERPRIsE.-The directors Of the Atlantic Tel
egraph Company have resolved to postpone the
laying Of their cable until next year. This il
prudent 1t would be an il-adyiesed step to
rIsk the attempt in October. when the natural
obstacles of wind aud weather might of them
selves entail y second failure. There are many
new points in the conduct of the enterprise to
be considered. aud there is, doubtless. much
room for Improvement in the necessary ma
ehinery. 1t has been urged that the breaks for
regulating the paying out of the cable should
not be left to the Judgment and attention of
any man, no matter how great his skil, but
should be governed by stlf-acting apparatus.
This is obviously a wise and practical sugees-
ton There are others. too, which merit attet.
tOn. To prevent the recurrence Of such dis
aster as that which has already taken place. it
is thought advisable to pass the cable through
series Of buoys. or. better still, through
second vessel employed for the purpose. so that
in case of break, the wire may be recovered
ere it disappears into deep water. These and
other suggestions that have been offered are
worthy of that earnest consideration which. we
doubt not. will be given to them. When the
effort to lay the cable shall be renewed next
summer, we hope to see every possible accident
provided ainst, and the greatest enterprjse
Of the age finally crowned with success,-Har-

A CoRPs OF LABORkRs DIsCHARGED-We learn,
says the Morning Call of Saturday, that yester-
day afternoon the entire corps of composiorS
employed on the Bulstin, and who for the most
part were connected with that paper from its
origin, were discharged. This was with a view
to replacing them with men who would work
for less than established rates. This ia a move
ment that we regret to see, and one that in the
end must prove injurious to the interests of
that paper. Very much of the popularity that
has heretofore attached TO the Bulletin. has
grown out Of its supposed sympathy with the
industrial classes The action of Yesterday
gives an effrctual contradiction to this, and
hereafter the proprietOrs of that journal may
properly be classed with those who strive t.

DEATH UNDER A SURGICAL OPERArIoN-Mr.
Geo. Waterman. gentleman about fifty years
Of age. underwent an operation in Sacramento.
on Saturday, which resulted in his death. Mr..
Waterman had been troubled for seven or eight
years with tumor on the thigh, which had c'
late grown SO rapidly that he wac compelled to
have II removed. The operation vas performed
BY DR.. Proctor, the patient having first been
rendered insensibe by the inhalation Of chloro-
form. He died in about three hours after the
opcratian was performed, it is supposed from
the shock to the nervous system. The tumor
was of enormous size. being eighteen and half
inches long. and weighed twenty-four pounds.

Late intelligence from Honey Lake Valley,
represent thai the settlers in that place are in
imminent dAnger of being overpowered and cut
of by The Indians. They have sent petition
to the Governor, asking for one hundred stand
Of arms, and call on the citizens Of California
generally to assist them in their extremity. A
fight occurred on the 18th in which the settlers
were compelled to retreat, and they have since
been engaged in removing their families, stock,
&C., to Indian Valley. On the 18TH an attack
was made on the fort, which had been made by
the settlers, the result Of which is not known.
It is their opinion that the Washes and Pah
Utahs have united for the puopese of extermi-
mating the white settlers east OF the Sierra Ne
vada. The Washoes Immediately around Hon
ey Lake, number some four or FIVE hundred
warriors, and the Pah Utahs are still more nu-
msrous. 1t is the opinion of the people Of
Honey Lake Valley that the Indians are under
the influence of the Mormons, and that they are
melted to hostilites against the whites by Brig
ham Young's satellites As an evidence of this
il is said that at the late attack on the fort one

II should be borne in mind, however. that the
first words Of English an Indian learns is to
swear. and ifone Of them attempted to speak
so as to be understood by the whites, be would
be likely to use an oath. Besides, the Mormons
have evidently given up all idea of gaining
foot hold on the eastern slope of the Sierra Ne
yada, for had they not, their people at Carson
Valley would not have been ordered to leave
that locality.
The Governor has decided to furnish the set
tiers at Honey Lake with arms and ammunition
and doubtless plenty of volunteers can he rails
ed in short time to resist any attack that may
be made by the Indians. The only danger IT,
that the settlers will be cut of before assistance
can reach them.

The Great Disaster.

aMAA NhO OhcAt Ahs@stSHs
The account Of the terrible calamity which
befell the steameY Central Ameries. has been
the all-absorbing topic in this section, and in
fact throughout the State, since Thursday. 1t
Is, perhaps, the most DISASTROUS shipwreck
which ever occurred, and there is scarcely per-
son in California that has not to mourn the loss
Of o relative or friend. When the steamer left
Havana. she had on board, including passen-
gers, officers and crew, Ave hundred and ninety
two souls; of these, one hundred and seventy
three are known to be saved; leaving four hun
dred and nineteen missing. 1t is possible that
some of the missing passengers we're saved
One of the passengers who escaped to the Ma
rine. says that at daylight on the morning after
the wreck, there were five vessels in sight. The
bark Ellen was undoubtedly one Of these, and
it is not unreasonable to suppose that some were
picked up by the other vessels.
The rescued passengers arrived in New York
Sept. 10th, and the details which we have re-.
ceived Of the disaster we're made up hurriedly
and published in the New York papers Of the
next morning. The next mail steamer will be
due In about a week, with fourteen days later
news, and on her arrival all doubts in regard
to the fate Of the missing passengers will be
dispelled.
The gale in which the Central America was
wrecked, from all accounts, must have been
unusually severe, but had the machinery and
pumps been in order there ia no doubt it would
have withsteod the storm. The steamer was
built In 1852, and was believed to be staunch,
sea-worthy vessel, aud the Steamship Company
attributed the cause Of the disaster to neglect
Of duty on the part of the chief engineer, Ashby
who Is represented to have acted in a cowardy
and selfish manner. Ashby, however, in o card
published in the New York papers. excupates
himself from some of the charges made against
him, and his story is partially substantiated by
the statement of Theodore Payne. one Of the
rescued passengers. The chief engineer donbt
less acted badly, but the Company cannot be
held blameless There were only five liie-boats
on board, capable of carrying less than one
half Of the passengers, and the life-preservers
were made OF tin, which triding accident
would render worthless.
In the calamity by which so many lives were
lost, 1t is gratifying fact we are enabled to
record, that every woman aud child on board
was saved. The officers and crew Of the steamer,
and the male passengers, acted bravely and
nobly, for while death was staring them in
the face, so far as is now known, not man
attempted to leave the sinking vessel until the
women and children had been placed on board
the brig Marine. In some instances they were
obliged 10 resort to deception in order to in-
duce wives to leave their husbands. Such
heroic deeds are calculated to make us think
better Of our race. and the memory of those
brave, devoted men will not be forgotten.

when the Vigilance Committee first arrested
Casey. and organ zed Into all effective force,
the Democrat hadn't word to say except ia
commendatIon. Then it changed aud gradual
ly ignortd its first love-"
The above statement from the last number of
the Journal contains direct falsehood. The
Democrat never uttered word at any time in
comme~d ~dation OF the Vigilance Committee. Ii
the number issued day or two after King was
shot we said nothing either for or against the
Committee This was before they had imbrucd
their hands in blood. and their objects aud de-
signs were unknown. IL our next issue, after
the intentions of the Committee had become
more fully developed by their acts, we took
decided and unequivocal position against the
reasonable orga ization. This WAS at a time
when public opinion was strongly in favor of
the Committee, and when every word spoken
in favor of the PROSTATE laws was construed in
to an apology for every species of crime. The
opinion then formed we have never had reason
to change, aud our course during the Vigilance
excitement was CONSTANT and straightforward.
For specimen Of "blowing hot and cold" up

FIRE IN YRRKA.-A severe conHagration was
again experienced in Yrcka OH the evening OF
Oct. goth. A letter to the Shasta Republican
says the fire caught about ~ o'clock, in the
upper part of town in Chinese house on the
north side Of Miners street. and destroyed eve.
ry house on that side of the street down to Ore
gon street. except the large brick store occu-
pied by DR.. Horsely, which was saved with
difficulty. The roof burned and the inside was
on fire several times. DR.. HUrsley's loss is
very light.
The buildings burned we're of no great value
ard were mostly occupied by Chinese and cour-
texans.
The wind was quite strong, but fortunately
died away, otherwise all the city on the north
of Miners street must have burned.

made sometime since, in regard to his stealing
twenty dollars from fellow prisoner. He said
he was innocent of the charge. and referred US
to the jailors. who would substantiatc his state
ment. We conversed with the jailors yesterday,
on the subject, and they not only confirm our
former statement, but from the circumstances
as related. we should Judge there would be no
difficulty in convcting Kelly Of petty larceny.

THEATER.-Mrs. Julia Dean Hayne has given
a series Of theatrical entertainments during the
past week, which have generally been well at
tended. At her complimentary benefit on Mon
day evening, the house was crowded to its ut
most capacity, which shows that our theater-
going citizens properly appreciate the efforts
of this talented actress. The pieces presented
during the week, however. with one or two ex-
ceptions were not suited to her style OF acting,
and the most Of them had been played 80 often
that few cared to witness them again. Mrs.
Hayne was supported by a fine stock company,
among whom we may mention Miss Leonard,
Miss Edwin. W. NJ. Leaman and Mr.. Ho rton. as
having invariably well sustained their parts.
Mr. Horton is a young actor of much promise,
aud is destined to rank high in his profession.
The company left yesterday, with the design Of
playing few nights in Grass Valley.
