ARREsTED-An Indian was arrested near
Nevada, says the Democrat, of the Sd inst,
on a charge of having murdered white man
at Whiskey Bar, in Placer county, some time
last summer. He was found in cabin with
some other Indians, by some persons who
recognized him. He was in bed at the time,
and pretended that his back was brok en-, and
requested them to send out physician
They came into town and procured war;
rant for his arrest, which was placed in the
hands of Constable Gregory, who started out
to take him. On arriving at the cabin the
Indian had fed. Mr.. Gregory then told the
other Indians that if they did not tell him
where the criminal was, he would come in to
town and get party Of men who would kill
them all They were so frightened at this
threat, that they produced the supposed
murderer. who was then taken and lodge1
in Jail. He will probably be sent to Aaburn
for examination.

The THEATRE.-The beautiful drama of
Ingomar called together goodly audience
at the Theatre last evening. With Miss Pot
ter as Parthenia, and Mr., Brown as Ingo-
mar, it is needless to say the play was well
performed. To our fancy, Miss Potter's Par
thenia is indeed the best piece of acting we
have seen her attempt Dumphries played
old Polydor, aud made such jolly old mi
ser as rather to excite mirth by his threats
than fear for their execution. lie is too full
of fun to make a good villain Mrs. Hunt
enacted the part Of the crusty, musty, old
beldame, admirably. At the conclusion of
tide piece, Miss Potter was called before the
curtain, as she has been on every previous
night Mr.. BROWN announced, "All that
glitters is not Gold," and Faint heart new
er won fair lady" as the plays for to night.
He also stated. that Mr.. Morris had assumed
the management of the Theatre, and what
is of more importance. had reduced the price
of admission to one dollar, in the dress cir
Gle, and fifty cents in the gallery. We opine
this is a wise movement and one which will
ensure them more dollars than they could
possibly accumulate at the old prices.

There was not O moments intermls-
sion in our fire, volley succeeded vol
ley, still the brave enemy advanced,
only to meet a certain death frcm the
fire of our skillful marksmen. But
the deadly shower was too horrible to
be withstood, and already were the
British troops seen wavering in their
determination, and rcceding from the
conflict. Endeavoring by his exam
pie to encourage and inspire them,
Sir Edward Packenham placed him.
self at their front and led them on
only to meet with a soldiers grave.
Packenham fell mortally wounded in
to the arms of his aid-de- camp, and
Generals Keane and Gibbs also fell
dangerously wounded and were borne
from the field. General Lambert
then advanced to stop the retreating
columns, but his efforts were of no
avail (; they retired in confusion to a
ditch some four hundred yards from
our lines, where finding a momentary
safety, they rallied and came to a
halt. Urged by their gallant off,
GERS, the British soldiery again ad-
vanced towards our lines, over that
field strewn with the bodies Of their
fallen countrymen, but that same
steady, unremitting fire that caused
their first retreat, continued unaba-
ted. Satisfied nothing could be done,
they forsook the contest in wild dis
order, leaving the field covered with
the dead and dying.
A part of the West India regiment
and other troops, led on by Col. Rem
ME, gained momentary possession of
redoubt on the bank of the river,
but this brave officer met his death
from the fatal aim of rifeman, and
his men soon abandoned the redoubt.
In their retreat they were assailed
from Com. Patterson's redoubt, and
not one, it is thought escaped alive.
Affrighted at the carnage, the whole
British army moved from the field
hastily and in confusion. Driven to
desperation by the calling fire from
our batteries, they sought safety in
the ditch, whittier the right division
had retreated, ard there remained
until night permitted them to retire.
Thus ended the great battle of
New Orleans, one of the most glori-
Gus as well as the most important in
its results that was ever fought on
our soil.
The loss of the enemy was estima-
ted at $500, while that of the Ameri-
cans was but thirteen. Our effective
force was 3,700, while that Of the
enemy was not less than 5000. Had
General Jackson been provided with
arms in accordance with his urgent
requests, he could have captured the
entire British force, but as it was he
was obliged to allow what remained
of the "heroes of the Peninsula" to
escape. The British embarked their
remaining forces and left the scene of
their defeat, convinced of the valor
of American soldiery in withstanding
the attack of a regular army.
