CRABB AND HIS IAkTl.-NOthlug IurtHtI
has been heard of the slaughter of Crabb and
his party in Sonora Particulars of the
mournfu tragedy will be anXiousy looked
for The people of California are indignant
at the cowardy outrage purpetrated by the
Mexcans, and the friends of the victims may
ere long fearfully ayenge their murder.
LArER-A schooner has arrived, and the
sad intelligence is fully confirmed We make
the following extract from the Unions re-
port:
The execution took place on the 18th Of
April Previous TO the execution Of Crabb,
he was allowed to write several letters to his
friends, and he also made a speech, warning
his countrymen from engaging in any such
expeditions in future. 1t probable that had
not Crabb sent letter in advance of him,
which eXasperated the inhabitants, he aud
his party would have been allowed to proceed
through the country unnoticed and unmo-
lested This fact, together with being the
first to commence the engagement, were the
fatal acts of that gallant band, the lamenta
BILE end of which is but too well known"
We hardly think Crabb made that speecl
it must be a Mexican dodge.

THE GREAT WIzARD-Mr. Jacobs, the
world renowned wizard, will exhibit his won
derful powers in jackson on Friday and Sat
urday nights of next week. He has aston
shed all Europe and Australia with bis knowl-
edge of the magic art" and on arrival in
San Francisco, caused the greatest tur0re
ever produced in California. The largest
theatre there was densely crowded to see him,
night after night; and the comment of the
press and of the people could only be ex-
pressed in excamations of wonder and amaze
ment. We have not witnessed any of Jacobs
performances, but from the evidence before
us cannot doubt their truly extraordinary
character Certainly so many presses and so
many people could not have been poor judges.

Nicaragua

The next news from Central America is
looked for with the most intense anxiety
The last accounts represent the brave Walker
and his devoted little army to be in terrible
strait from which his adversares were con
6dent he could not escape. But Walker
is brave as Cesar and with his genius to
aid him, may yet triumph.
Those who have been his active friends
and supporters with material aid, in Cali
forna and the Atlantic States, seem to have
shamefully deserted him in his hour Of trial
He has the whole of the monarchy powers
in Central America, Vanderbilt with his
heaps of gold and fleets of ships, together
with discouragement from home and British
influence and sometimes actual British inter
ference, o'contend WITH yet, at such'a time,
those who have assumed to act for him in the
United States, have failed to send him the
aid he had been promised.
If Walker is driven out of Nicaragua, or
destroyed, there will no longer be the least
safety to American passengers on any portion
Of the Isthmus. The wretched native races
there have learned to think that the Ameri-
cans are ectualy inferior to themselves; and
that they will not resent an insult or protect
their fellow-citizens away from home. New
Granada, when our Government sent there
for reparaton and indemnity for the Panama
massacre-a bloody tragedy committed upon
ship load of our citizens crossing there
refused to make indemnity, and actually de-
mauded one hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars from the United States.
The sympathiseres with the Isthmus negroes
may be waiting with fendish anxiety to hear
of the destruction of Walker; and if they
do hear of such catastrophe, especially if
they reside in California, it may sometime or
other fall back upon their oton heads.
