A STRANGE SUIT-The Court of Sessions of
Solano county, last week, among other cases,
tried Matthew Lasster, a well known clergy
man resident in Napa valley, on charge of
unlawfuly uniting in marriage Miss Candace
Shields to Mr.. w. II. Williams without the per-
mission Of the parents or guardian of the bride
she being under the age of eighteen years
The Napa Reporter says; "The old gentleman
seemed good deal frightened at his appearance
in court of justice, but left with a smiling
countenance shortly afterwards. 1t appears
that when the couple presented themselves to
the clergyman, he inquired of the lady. whether
she was of lawful age She murmured some
reply, which he failed to catch, being little
hard of hearing. The bridegroom elect testiGes
that he thereupon answered for her, and said
that she was ighteen-assigning as a reason
for the fb that he wanted to get married.
The jury--ten of whom were 'Old bachelors -
brought in a verdict of guilty, and assessed the
damages at two bits which sum was sent up
with the verdict. The bridegroom, after the
rendition of the verdict, finding that he had got
the worthy old gentleman into difficulty, came
forward nobly and paid up the costs, declaring
himself so well pleased with his bargain, that
he wouldn't mind taking a couple more wives
at the same rate

THE RuMoRED KILLING OF CRABB's PARTY
The editor of the Alta has seen letter from Mr..
Crabb to friend in San Francisco, dated Sono-
ita, March 25th, in which he states that a Capt
Lane, Of Texas, was at Calabazas, with thirty
men. and he had heard that he intended to pro-
ceed into the interior of Sonora. Now, if Crabb
was at Sonoita on the 25th of March, this ru-
mored encounter with q Mexican force could
only have taken place by his marching back as
both Calabzas and Jarillas. where the skirmshes
are said to have taken place, are this side of
that locality. But the accounts state that the
party was marching into and not out of Sonora
so it would appear that it could not have been
Crabb's party who had the fight. The party of
Lane comprised thirty men, which is the number
given in the report, may have had skirmsh,
or the report may have arisen from their having
been called OH to aid the Mexcans in a fight
with the Indians. Crabb writes on the 25th that
he was well received at Sonoita, and was intend
ing soon to proceed to Altar. We do not think
that the news in relation to the destruction of
his party can be strictly relied upon. BY the
next southern mail we shall, doubtless, receive
all the particulars.

MEDITERRANEAN AND EUPHRATEs RAILWAY. r.
The Paris Pays, publishes the following partic-
uars relating to this enterprise
The railway will commence on the coast Of
Syria. The place chosen for the head of the
line is near deep and well sheltered bay, about
two miles from the left bank of the Orontes. A
port will be constructed at this spot, which ap-
pears to have been designed by nature for such
an undertaking. On quitting the coast the
road will be directed Kills, commercial town
in Syria, containing about ii 900 Inhabitants.
From Kills the railway will be continued TO
Antioch, on the Orontes, and from Antioch to
Aeppo, the chief town or pashalic of that name.
Aleppo is the most important town in all Syria.
in respect to commerce. The inhabitants ad-
dressed petition to the Sultan, praying that
the railway might pass near their town, and
their request was granted. After passing Alep-
po the road runs nearly parallel with the Eu-
pirates to place called the Castle of Ja' Ber,
on the Euphrates. There will terminate the
first section of the great trunk. The line will
afterwards be directed from Ja' Ber to Busso-
rah. 1t will enter the Persian territory by
turning the left bank of the Persian Gulf as far
as Shraz. will cross Belochistan and reach Brit
ish India by Hyderabad in the Daccan.--
Such is the plan of the railway, which will bring
passengers from the coast of Syria to the heart
of India without quitting the line-a distance
of 1000 miles.

MURDER AND SUIcIDE.-The Marysvlle Inquirer,
of April 2sth, publishes letter from Everts,
Wilson & Co., dated Rabbit Creek, April 26th,
in which the following particulars of murder
and suicide are given:
Between twelve and one O'Clock to-day, as
melancholy transaction occurred as was ever
our painful task to witness or record. A man
by the name of G.. II. Yates called at the resi-
dence of Mr.. Anderson, where young woman
(sister of Mrs. AndersOn,) was living, and after
interrogating her as to whether she would marry
him, received an answer, that ''at present it was
impossiblc-she could not;' on which he drew
a revolver and fired at her, the ball entering
her right side, killing her instantly. He then
drew small single-barreled pistol, and dis
charged its contents at his own head The ball
entered little above the right eye, and lodged
within the Uranium. He is not yet dead, al
though speechless the brain oozing from the
orifice in the skull-will no doubt expire soon.
Since writing the above, we have been inform
ed that the ball fired at the young lady took
effect under the ear, instead of the side-mis
taking the blood on her dress for the place where
the ball entered. ..,....

Battle of sam Jacinto.

Tuesday, April 2lst. was the twenty-frst an
niversary of the battle of Jacinto. The San
Francisco Chronicle traces the most momentous
events which have occurred in the history of
our country to the issue of that memorable bat
tie. We give an extract
"Santa Anna at the head of his triumphant
legions was driving all things before him. Ter
ror spread throughout all Texas. Its Govern
ment in panic moved its location. Houston eX-
pecting and awaiting reinforcements in vain,
had retreated day by day before the flushed
forces of Santa Anna, from the Brazos to the
very banks of Galveston Bay, and San Jaclnto
river Here he turned at bay, here the indie
pendence of Texas had TO be won or lost. His
seven hundred encamped within cannon shot OF
fourteen hundred veterans under Santa Anna,
increased by four hundred and fifty under Cen
eral Cos on the morning of the battle Two OF
Houston's junior officers, in the council of war
were for attacking; their four seniors opposed
it. Houston ascertained that the army was for
the attack and he determined to make it. The
details of that bloody fight have never been
written-they cannot be. After the first charge
it was a hand-to-hand fight, like the third charge
of the British at Bunker's Hill, but with the
difference, that at San Jacinto the bayonets
were routed by those who had none. Fifteen
minutes decided the battle-all the rest of the
fight was a slaughter, in which the cry of IRE
member the Alamo!n rose above the crack Of
rifle and the cry for mercy.
This battle was the turning point in Texan
history. 1t secured her Independence, it led al
so the war with Mexico, the battles of Palo Al
to, Resaca de la Palma, Monterey, Buena Vista
Vera Cruz, Cerro Gordo, Cherubusco Chapulte-
pee, Molino Del Rey, Sacramento, Santa Cruz,
and all the others which accompanied that short
but decisive contest. 1t was the turning point
which gave us Teas, New Mexico, California,
Utah and the Gadsden Purchase; a territory of
one million square miles, almost one-third of
the present entire territory of the Union, and
more than one-half what had comprised the
possessions of Mexico 1t inaugurated the fill
buster movement, of which Aaron Burr had
been the pioneer, and gave permanency to
that sentiment now so absorbing in the Ameri
can mind, which will never rest satisfied until
the entire Empire of Montezuma, the Vice Roy
atty of Cortes, shall know no national emblem
but that of the Stripes and Stars All this, with
all the other vast and innumerable consequent
ces and events relative thereto, were decided
twenty-one years ago yesterday by seven hun
dred men on the plains of San JacintO Had
that battle been decided otherwise, Houston
and Rusk might have long ago mingled with
the dust of that bloody battlefield, instead of
Washington: the Mexican frontier might still
have been at the Sabine, the Red River and the
forty second parellel; and the gold Of California
might still have rested in its bed of ten th0us-
and years. How much of human history hangs
on the results of single day, and De decided by
the decision of a single mind.

TRANSATLANTIC TELEGRAPH A FAHURE,-The
Scientific american publishes an article from Prof.
Hall, and endorses it, prophesying that the
ocean telegraph will result in failure. In addi-
ton to the difficulties of laying continuous wire
cable of such length, and of preserving perfect
insulation with thin coating of gutta-percha,
the following reason is assigned for this opn-
ion:
1t can easily be demonstrated that coil of
wire, ever so well insulated, if immersed in wa
ter. will not effect an electromagnetic with the
same power as if rested out of water. The proX-
unity of so antagonistic an element produces
sensible effect upon the electric current and
would, in the length of cable proposed, entirely
absorb the subtle fluid, especially all that could
be forced through SO small wire as the one
contemplated. But even admitting communi-
cation possible, it is known to electricians that
in submerged wires preceptibe period of time
elapses in the passage of the current, and that
this period increases with the length of cable,
and that it requires some seconds of time before
the wire is unchanged after each signal In the
length of cable proposed, according to recent
experiments, it would require over six seconds
for each signal making less than half a column
in the New York Herald for twenty-four hours
work as its possible capacity-not one-twenteth
the probable demand.
