SKELETON -MAN-FLEstItESS DIGGER OF Hun.
RoLDT.--A passenger from Humboldt relates that
when Capt, Messec recently destroyed an Indian
rancheria, one of his mcn-Hank Smith-entered
deserted hut but came out great deal faster
than he went in, with each particular hair on end,
and declaring that there was ghost within =
The jests of the others induced the man to go
back, but again he returned, more precipitately,
and swore tn at there was moving skeleton in
the lodge. Afterwards an opening was made in
the hut, and q iiping skeleton was discovered
crouching under basket-an animated anatomy
weighed but sixteen pounds The thing is de-
clared to be a complete embodiment of death,
without particle of flesh dscoverable on the
limbs or face, and small enough at the waist to
be spanned by mans hand, yet capable of walk
ing and intelligent action. The prisoners en-
ploy the Skeleton Man in mixing bread in which
his long, bony claws exhibit considerable dexter.

goes-and we have no reason to question his We

that he has seen the living skeleton, which will
shortly be sent to the settlements as the greatest
physiological phenomenon of the age. His cap
tors believe that the attenuated creature is the
consequence of some unknown disease which has
slowly wasted the flesh without expelling lie from

DEPLORABLE FooLERY Senator Bell is report-
ed to have made some rather extravagant re-
marks, expressing his personal admiration of Col.
Bakers oratorcal powers. The subject is dis
cussed in the San Francisco National in tire
some column of the most deplorable foolery we
ever read. The abortve witticisms are beneath
the pretensons of the meanest little backwoods
journal, edited by vagabond lawyer. The fool
thing begets doubt of Mr., George Washington s
good sense, and another productive of similar
merit will certainly entitle him to clowns ce-

WEAvERvIILE CALIFORNIA SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 27 1858

Sick OF THE DocroR.-We have noticed ID
one or two notable Administration journals
| disposition to throw Off Doctor Gwin as so much
Improbable freight. The Doctor it seems, has
been in the habit of Clipping from eastern journals
articles commendatory of himself and sending
them to certain newspapers In this State for re-
publication purpose being to impress the
idea that the Democracy of California having
failed to sustain Broderck, must of necessity
have endorsed Gwn. But the Doctors nicely
sugared pill has been gagged at; the saccharine
crust has given way, and the bous lies under the
tongue in unmolifed nastness. Gods! what
faces /! Their facial convulsions are equal to the
| combined product of aloes, assofntda and tic
dolereux; they taste doctors stuff and Lime Point;
they smell the unpleasant odors of steamships,
and the venerable Doctor, after having rendered
eminent service in innumerable storms, must be
dumped from the stern end of Democracy, like
an unseaworthy chicken coop. The Sierra Citizen,
having received one of the Doctors preparations
stops short ofland swears that the thing can't be
swallowed, and adds:
"Senator Gwin has enjoyed more favor from
have asked, and his Democratic privilege expired
long ago. He bangles; he mpedes the progress
OF the Democratic party; he is dislikcd by the
people; his pretensions, as Senator and success
with legislatures and steamships have sustained
an opposing faction and kept its leader in undg-
niied prominence
The foregoing is a conmendable instance Of
party independence and perception of obvious
truth. For long time the foregone conclusions
have been clear to the minds of thousands, but
no journal of that party subdivision had courage
to so remark. Some months ago we denounced
the Senator as a trcacherous emissary of an op-
pressive company of legalized pirates; and at
that time crook kneed lackeys were not wanting
to denouncc us for prosecuting an honest citizen
and distinguished Democrat. We rejoice that
their eyes are opening to perceive themselves
straddled by huckstering political knavc who
has been the secret curse of State. His knavery
has become pcrceptible, even through the film of
party prejudice. The cunning old speculator has
traded too extensively; he is caught in putting
penny in the urn of poverty and taking u shll-
ling OUT
lt VIII give us pleasure to reprint one of the
DOCTOR S extracts with frstrate notice of our
own, If he will send one to this journal marked
! private We have a couple ready made, printed
once but none the worse for that; and If, in ad-
dition to the Administration paper above extrac-
ted from, the Mountain Democrat and San Fran
cisco National throw Off the illustrous man of
pills, we shall take up the cudgels for him and
give 'em piece of our mind.

there be brokenY Or who shall number the Inns

INDIANS HUNG,--Two Indians, accused of mur.
dering MCGOWAN, were delivered up to the whites
by their tribe-one young fellow and his father,
an old, purblnd man; they were tried at Squaw
Gulcb, Shasta county, and hung with great man
festatons of brutality. The hangman, as we
learn from the Republican, was from San Francisco,
and performed the office in a very workmanlike
manner. Other Indians had been retained as
hostages, until the supposed murderers were
given up by the tribe; but few persons knowing
the habits of Indians will be sure that the suffer
ers were the guilty parties. When redeemcrs are
thus required the tribe select the worthless or
obnoxious, who are made to suffer for the guilty.
In the above mentioned instance, the fight occur.
red between Indians and "squaw men" and there
is little doubt but that the whites were aggressors
1t will be an everlasting disgrace to Shasta if
those brutal fellows are not searched out appre-
hended and punished. The hanging Of dog
under the circumstances related by the Repu6lcan
were disgrace to the community.

it would be entirely proper for the Republican to
say that the road in question is altogether dam

road to Weaverville is one of the best in the
