Arrest of Foots, Roberts and Bass.

On Tuesday last these men were arrested
near Coopers ravine in Ell Dorado county,
and about eight miles from Auburn. The
person in passing through canon, OBJ
particulars as we gather them from an au-
thentic source, are about as follows: A
served the three men lying in the bushes
with revolvers by their sides; he reported
this fact at Burners ranch, near by, where
Messrs. Waite Cambel, and George Eddy,
of Todd's Valley, in this County happened
to be at the time. They Immediately sug-
gested they were Foots and his confederates,
and plan was devised that would lead to
their capture.
Accordingly Mr.. Burner and Mr.. Eddy
took brides and went into the canon as
though looking for horses and meeting the
men invited them to Burners house to get
their dinners. Eddy recognized Roberts as
soon as he saw him, and returning to Burn
ers dispatched Cambel to Rattlesnake Bar
for assistance; word was also sent to Coopers
ravine.
On coming to the house. Mrs. Burner pro-
tracted the preparation of the meal as long
as possible to enable the expected aid to ar
rive. Before it came, however, the men fin
ished their dinner and were about leaving,
when Mr. Burner told them to remain
where they were as suspicious were resting
upon them of crime. They took hold of
their pistols and started back on the road
they had come. Mr.. Bruner and others
followed them Immediately, and coming up
to them they agreed to surrender and
give up their weapons, if those present
would convey them safely to Auburn and
lodge them in Jail. This being promised
they gave themselves up. Aid from Rattle
snake arrived shortly after, and assisted in
bringing the criminals to Auburn.
Since their apprehension, the whole affair
has assumed new phase-Mr Mason, who
was then living is now dead.
The reward offered by the citizens Of Mich.
igan Bluff through Sheriff Henson, has been
promptly paid to the following persons Mr.
Burner and wife and Messrs. Cambell, Eddy,
Galbirth and Hay.

and respected wherever known-one who
will have the confidence of the adrninistra-
ton Of Mr.. Buchanan, and whose recon-
inendations at Washington for the benefit Of
California would be received with attention
and respect-and lastly, one who is the lead
er of no faction, but a towering monument
Of strength in himselt1and whose Democracy
is thoroughly national and has been tested
by time.
Such man is to be found in the Hon.
JOHN b. WELLER, and him we recommend
to the support of every national Democrat
in California To him the masses can rally
in united support, and for him majority
can be given far surprising that Of any can

From the Sierra Citizen.
John B, Weller,


We have, for some time past, been intend
ing to speak of the services of this retiring
Senator in behalf of the State he so ably
made by a correspondent Of the San Fran
cisco Herald, written from Washington, met
our eye; and embodying, as it does, an un
disputed record of the acts and doings of this
faithful servant, during his stewardship, we
substitute it with pleasure for any remarks
we had intended to make Of our own. We
must, however, be allowed to say, in this
connection, that we have known John b.
Weller from our boyhood-we know his
faults, but we know his virtues as well-and
to those acquainted with our relative posi-
tons, anything we might say in this connec
ton will have doubly the weight that parties
not cognzant to our relative positions, in
our intercourse in the Atlantic States, will
accord it..
We are familiar with the personal and
political history of John b. Weller ever since
he entered upon his public career, which
was as the States Attorney in county in
Ohio, where all our own brothers and the
greater portion of our own relatives reside.
A warm friend, he was ever open and gene
rous, s,-bitter, it might be, in the advocacy Of
his party's interests and unsparing in poti-
cal warfare he was ever generous even to
his opponents and although possessing faults,
no one was more popular in his private rela-
tions. Although time, that sofens all bitter
feelngs-that in the end ''makes all things
even, has mellowed down much of his
party acerbity,-yet John B. Weller, when
the question was vital between his personal
and his party's interests, never hesitated 10
sacrifice himself upon the altar of his party
Had he, like his opponent for the Guberna-
torial Chair of Ohio, in 1s4s, caught at and
pandered to the popular ''isms" of the day,
he would have made his scaling and election
sure" beyond all doubt or cavil; but he
spurned the idea, and, as the standard bearer
of the true in contradistinction to the bastard
Democracy that went astray after false Gods,
he preferred an honorable political defeat to
victory won by dishonorable sacrifice.
Now that John B. Weller is private
citizen, all parties unite in according to him
that need of Justice which his services de-
serve He has signifed his intention to re-
sumo the practice of his profession, and retire
for season, from the political arena, in
which he has figured through life But, if
there is anything in the gift of the people of
the State of California that he will accept,
it is his, beyond all doubt or peradventure.
If he prefers, howevet, to retain that "post Of
honor"-a private staton--it may be said
Of him, as of the Roman Patriot:
Alone. more proud the great Marocllns feels
Than Caesar with the Roman Senate at his heels.

Later from Sonora.
Conformation of Previous News-Fnrther
Particulars.
SAN FRANclsco, May 2l, 8 P. M.

SAN FRANCISCO, May Il, p. NJ.
BY the arrival, this morning of the schoon-
er Monterey, Capt. Walsh, via Guaymas, 80
days, we have full confirmation Of the dis
astrous conclusion Of the Crabb expedition to
Sonora. The Americans were fully aware OF
the fate intended for them, and resolved
upon desperate means to gain, at least, an
apparent advantage in the outset. They com
menced an engagement and fell back upon
the house which they had fortified and from
which they continued to fire upon the enemy
with great effect aud with but little danger
to themsevs. The Mexcans had Is killed
and about 25 wounded before the Americans
had lost man, and it is doubtful what might
have been with the result, even the great odds
the Mexican side, had no accident occurred to
decide the fate of the little band inside the
building. The Americans, in endeavoring to
blow the roof off, which had taken fire, ex-
plode their own magazine, killing 25 men
and destroying all their ammunition. This
left them completely at the mercy fthe Mexi-
cans but Captain Walsh states that the great
est excitement prevailed in and about Quay
mas in anticipation of filibuster visitations.
There are bewteen 500 and 600 troops at
Guaymas ready to operate against any expe-
dition for the invasion of the country.

this is, for six years working, $4,000, 900 more
We have had in the Hon. John B. We'll
Ter, an unfaiIing mine of wealth, and to him
are we indebted not only for those appro-
prations, but to him is the State indebted
for that respect which is accorded to her by
all his compeers. Yes. through respect to
him, and confidence in his integrity, they
have not on y been just, but they have been
munifcent to California. This was the secret
of his success. 1t was not alone by close
attention to the business of the Senate, but
by the avoidance of all buncombe speeches
and party controversies. He is known to be
one Of the ablest orators in the Union, and
yet you find no uncaled for display on his
part. He has thus avoided inAicting wounds
on opposing candidates, and at the same time,
he has gained their confidence and support,
by pursuing a cautious, straightforward,
honest and consistent policy.
1t is not my purpose to draw any invidious
comparisons, but this much | must be al
lowed to say, inasmuch as it is the common
impression here that California cannot expect
justice, much less favors, hereafter, when she
has been so unjust to herself
In addition to all of those bills which
passed. it is subject Of regret that great
many important bills, which the Colonel in
troduced and passed in the Senate, were lost
in the House. They were as follows:
Joint resolution to give California 5000
stand of arms in addition to the number al
lowed by law; second, bills appropriating
$4,000 to improve the harbor Of San Diego;
third, bills to create two additional land dis
tricts, at Visalia and Humboldt and appoint
two receivers and two registers; fourth, bill
to aid in the construction of telegraph to
San Francisco, appropriating 100000 per
annum for ten years, making 100000; fifth,
bill to extend the time one year for filing
claims for lands in California; sixth, joint re-
solution authorizing the Secretary of the
Treasury to settle with contractors on Marine
Hospital; seventh, joint resolution authoriz-
ing certified copies to be given in the Ere
mont claim; eighth, 100000 for construct
ing the arsenal at Benica into an arsenal of
construction; ninth, an appropriation of slo,v
900 to pay the Fremont claims which has
been allowed by the Board. w.

MORE RAILRoADs.-We learn that Mr.. J..
p. Robinson, Superintendent of the Folsom
Railroad, says the Sacramento City Item, is
about to start out to survey a line for the ex-
tension of the road from Folsom to the Yuba
River, about IA miles from Marysville. This
line will strike Oroville as soon as it goes far
enough, and may be considered to some ex-
tent rival movement to that of the Marys-
Williams. A railroad from Folsom to Orovile
will inevitably secure the most of the trade of
the mountains, on the one hand and the valley
on the other.
