ANOTHER NEW STATE.-It is proposed by the
opponents Of the liquor law passed at the last
session of the New York Legislature, to call a
convention to take into consideration the pro-
pricty Of forming new State out of the cOuu-
ties lying below the Highlands and including
Manhattan Island, Long Island, and Staten Is
land. 1t is urged by the friends Of this scheme,
that the advocates Of prohibitory laws, most of
whom reside in the northern and western por
tions of the State are so numerous, and have
such power in the legislative bodies. that those
residing in the great cities are compelled to pay
obedience to laws not of their own creating,
and which they contend are much to their dis
advantage. The only remedy for this state of
affairs, and one which is openly advocated by
several of the most able and influential papers
of the city of New York. is the formation of q
new State.
Speaking of the proposed new State, the New
York Atlas says Manhattan Island is seventeen
miles long, and is capable of sustaining three
millions Of people. Long Island is about one
hundred and twenty miles long, and its average
breadth is about ten miles, capable of cultiva-
tion and settlement. to an extent far greater
than has been supposed, with fertile soil enough
to sustain population of several millions more,
and climate which is mild and healthful. Sta
ten Island is the most beautiful in the world, il
eighteen miles long and seven wide. The small
Islands in the Harbor and the East river furnish
unrivaled advantages for defense, and the main
tenance Of charitable and reformatory institu-
tions. The population of these Islands estima-
ted by the ratio of the increase furnished by the
ratio of 1855, may be set down at 100000 in
habitants, and these own one-third Of the whole
tonnage of the United States.

FASHIONABLE DANcMG.-An Ohio Editor gives
his views of several dances which he witnessed
at the Inauguration Ball at Washington, thus;
"The want of variety in this Metropolitan
dancing, was, however, fully made up by the
fancy things, such as the waltz and polka.
These were absolutely barbarous. The old fash
ionable waltz, the morality of which even Byron
called in question, is here ignored as altogether
too cool and distant. The lady here lays her
head on the gentleman's bosom, puts one hand
in his coat tail pocket, then resigns herself to
his embraces, and goes to Sleep all but her feet,
which, when not carried by him clear off the
floor, goes patting around on her toes. The
gentleman thus entwined throws his head buck,
and his eyes up, like dying calf; his body bent
in the shape of figure 4, he whirls, backs up,
swings around, swoons to all appearances, pushes
forward, and leaves the ring, to the delight Of
all decent people,"

NED McGowAN's TRrAL-The Napa Reporter
has the following article upon the subject:
"This famous trial closed at IL o'clock on
Monday night last. The prosecution scarcely
made out case against the defendant. Indeed
there was not evidence enough against him to
hang a cat-and so thought the jury, for in just
10 minutes from the time Of their leaving the
court room, they returned verdict Of not
guilty There was nothing whatever even tend
ing to show any completely in the death of Mr..
King, OF any connection, direct orindirect, with
Casey, in the transaction. And yet, had this
man, now triumphantly acquitted after an i'm
partial trial, fallen into the hands of the Vigi-
lance Committee, he would have been hung to a
dead certainty. This case should teach the peo
pie of California the gross injustice, tyranny
and cruelty of which masses of men may be-
come guilty, when acting under excitement
citizen, whom the laws of his country
now declare innocent, has been hunted for
months like a wild beast, driven from one hid
ing place to another-an exile even in his own
country-and exposed to all the pcrils and suf
ferings of life of outlawry. The law gives
him no redress 1t merely declares that there
is no stain Of blood ON his hands We are moi
the endorsers of MCGOWAN nor do we know
whe ther he is good or bad man-but this
we do know: that if extreme and long continued
suffering under false accusation can entitle q
man to popular sympathy, Ned should receive
it. Communities should acknowledge and atone
for their errors, no less than individuals

NATIVE AMERICAN CAMELs.-We have some
camels in Texas to whom the naturalization
laws would not apply-three having been born
under the stars and stripes. The Washington
Star says they are thriving. and five or six
more births are expected From the reports of
the condition of the animals at present, and
through the eleven months that the first impor-
tation have been on the continent, we may re-
gard all doubts as to their acclimation dissi-
pated, and that so much of the experiment is q
fixed fact. The only remaining intermediate
points is the character of the stock that may
be produced. For this, time will be required.

THE GDsoNvrLLE HoMICDE.-The following
particulars in relation to the late homicide at
Gibsonvile, are furnished to the Marysville
Express:
A few days previous TO Sunday, two men,
named Gibson and Murphy, had difficulty
about some trihing matter, after which Murphy
threatened to whip Gibson, and on Sunday went
to town, accompanied by brother, for the pur-
pose as was supposed, Of executing said threat.
Gibson, who is an old, lame man, armed himself
with pistol and knife, and when attacked by
the brothers. shot one of them through the neck
and stabbed him through the heart, producing
instant DEATH and so wounded the other that
little hopes are entertained of his recovery.
Gibson was arrested, tried before the proper
officer, and acquitted, it being proven that he
acted in self defense. AS soon as the result OF
the trial was known, a large body of Murphy's
countrymen from ncighboring mining locality
formed themselves into mob and raised the
cry of chang himW In the meantime, Gibson
had been advised by the citizens to leave town
or conceal himself, till the angry passions Of
the mob had subsided. He left but was hotly
pursued by the crowd for several miles, but il
is supposed he eluded their vigilance, as they
all returned with clean hands Gibson was for.

The CAPTIVE OF CAvoRcA.-The boy who alone
was spared at the bloody massacre of Crabb and
his bold band of adventurers-who is there in
all this land that is not interested in his fatei
There must be some, too, with whom that inter-
est is intense. No one seems to know the poor
fellows name, or anything about him, save
that he is friendless and powerless in the hands
of people who have, time and again committed
such deeds of coward cruelty as have scarcely
been paralleled elsewhere upon the face of the
earth. Is there not some poor old widowed
mother, somewhere in the world, whose wither-
ed and desolate heart is now aching in silence,
and her prayers ascending to that Heaven which
to all else than the eye Of faith looks cold and
unanswering, for her absent boy--her brave but
mistaken boy whose wild, adventurous spirit
has SO often led him away from the home which

come from "the dark and bloody ground" of
Mexico. Perhaps ne has a sister whose cheek

young and innocent bosom-the overhowing
treasury of all generous affections and tender
maiden fcelingsl With that torturing liveliness
of Imagination which belongs to her age and
sex, she sees her poor brother stretched at the
feet of his ruthless enemies. pale and bloody

1t may be that he has no relatives; that he
was poor and friendless boy bulfetted by the
rude hand of fortune, from place to place aud
drifted by circumstances over which he had no
control into the death-devoted circle in which
his capturers found him. II so, then should the
great heart of the American people be his
friend-his starry hammered countrybe his mother;
not weak and desolate and weeping, but strong
to save or to revenge. There is no law of
nations or humanity that can justify that poor

HORSE THIEF SHoT.-A letter to the San Jose
Tribune, dated Watsonville, June Sd, says:
On Monday morning, about o'clock, two
Chilenos came riding up to the old homestead
of the Colorado ranch, about four miles from
town, occupied by gentleman named Tarpy,
and after riding round the house, and viewing
everything in suspicious manner, retired to
deep gulch few yards distant, and there
alighted. An Indian vaquero of Mr.. Tarpy,
who was milking at the time, seeing that all was
not right, ran TO the house and Informed Mrs.
T. of the fact AS the house had been attacked
aud robbed by similar gang some two months
ago, Mrs. 7. being alarmed, sent the vaquero
for her husband, who was moving at no great
distance. He came to the house, loaded his
revolver, and armng his Indian with rife,
they proceeded on foot to the place where the
Chilenos lay concealed. When within about
twenty yards of them, one of the party jumped
up and fred at them both. The vaquero in
stantly returned the FIRE, putting rifle ball
through his antagonist, who fell as if dead. At
the same moment Mr.. Tarpy fired two or three
shots, and started in pursuit of the other, who
took to the thick chapparal, and finally sue
ceeded in making his escape.
In the meantime, the vaquero had taken pos
session of two fine horses which the Chilenos
had, aud while he was thus occupied the wound.
cd man escaped also. On Mr.. Tarpy's return,
they mounted the horses and galloped to town
for assistance. Returning with ten or twelve
men, they searched the chapparal. and
found the Chileno whom the Indian had shot,
lying dead in the bushes, within o few rods OF
the place of combat. The other one could not
be found he is well known, however, in the
valley. Late in the afternoon, two men Of the
same valley came in and claimed the horses.
which had been stolen from them the night be-
fore.
