VICE PRESIDENT BRECKENRIDGE.-It is known
that some personal necessity has induced the
Vice President to abandon for the present the
chair of the Senate. He has left Washington
for New Orleans. 1t is worthy of note that up
to this day no man knows what is his position
on the Lecompton Constitution. He has main
tained rigid unbending reserve, strikingly in
contrast with his general character, and it is
asserted that the best informed political circles
in Washington are unable to say whether he is
for or against Leeompton. Certainly he has
neither welded the power of his Office or his
private influence in aid of the Administration
at this crisis. 1t is argued from this silence
that Mr.. Breckenridge is, iE his own mind, op-
posed to the policy of the Administration, but
being member of it, he has not felt at liberty
TO embarrass its action.-Bufalo Adpertiser

as q reason for the act the fact that she incur

''wonan whipping and child stealing" and that
unable to cope with her arguments or stand
up against her denuncation of slavery and its
attendant wrongs, they sneaked into her office
expistiaa sf ShePiey's allegation, that she had
wife, and it was only to prevent a repetition OF
1t that he had recourse to the line If conduct
whch he pursued.
Mrs S. is confident that her press and print
material will he replaced within three weeks
aud then we may look for renewal of the con-
treversy. Meantime she announces herself as
suffering severely from illness, the result of the
excitement attending the affair. On the day az
ter the outrage she says: II was able to sit up
most of the time and go up and down stairs,
and wrote and transacted business all day. Ga

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY-FoUR Men MURDERED
The S. F. Echo du Pacific, of May 21st, has the
following particulars of a horrible tragedy in
Tulars county:
Mr.. and Mrs. Baratier, French couple, form
erly Of Oakland, established ranch in Tulare
valley, at q place called Pulvadera, forty miles
from any other house. They there had num-
Der of cattle, ia partnership with Mr. Borel
and had two Spanish vaqueros. On. the 18th
instant, seven MexicaEs, or Spaniards, came to
the house, at / o'clock z. VI. Messrs. Baratier
and Borel were in the garden, and went to the
house when they saw the strangers. When they
got to the door, the Mexieans fired a volley at
6hem, killing BorGl instantly, and wounding
Baratier in the shoulder. Mrs. Ba. alter threw
herself on the body of her husband, and begged
for his life, weeping NEST piteousy. The muir
derous gang tore her loose took the husband
into the house, made him tell where his money
was; then took him out to tree. to which they
tied him, and then they killed him. Soon after
the vaqueros came to the house, and they were
shot down. 1t was proposed to kill Mrs Bara-
tier, and one OF the party proposed to fake her
to distance, and murder her. He tied her on
q horse, took her far of, and told her to fee.
and prayed her to keep his secret, for his life
might pay for his pity. Mrs. Baratier, ignorant
OF the roads and country, wandered about four
days In the mountains, without food, and finally
after ten days of intense suffering, arrived at
Oakland yesterday afternoon. in most misera-
BILE condition.
The robbers obtained 50, goo in money.

TERRIBLE CATAsTROPHE-FIyE MEN DROWNED
m TUxNEL--The Sacramento Mercury, of Mon
day contains the following dispatch, dated Col
umbia, May 22:
A dreadful accident occurred this morning.
at about 10 o'clock at the South Side Tunnel,
formerly known as the Capt. Man claim, in the
Table Mountain, near Shaw's Flat, by which
five men lost their lives while at work in the
tunnel, which is driven into the mountain about
500 feet on an incline. They struck through
the rim OF the basin contaipiRg one immense
lake of water which has heretofore prevented
the miners from working their claims on the
fat above. The tunnel is some $50 feet below
this fiat and as they struck through. the water
having this immense pressure Instantly filled
the entire excavation. The miners were OF
course unable to escape and perished in this
subterraean river. The water is still flowing
through the tunnel in an undmnished stream,
and the bodies cannot be recovered until the
water falls which will undoubtedly ensue in two
or three days, as it is already forcing its way
out OF the mountain from tunnel some dis
tance below. The names of the unfortunate
men. are, John Lyonx, Joseph Osborn and John
Carlyon, Cornish miners Greennf Blummer,
N. II. and Albert Glason, Maine. The miners
in the Peck tunnul near by, ten in number, had
o narrow escape. The alarm was given by
boy who heard the waters coming and they
rushed out; the water coming knee high before
they got out Three minutes later and they
would have met with a similar fate with those
above mentioned. The miners have been ex.
pecting food and had purchased tunnel be-
low to drain the fiat; but they were entirely
unprepared for this sad and dreadful calamity.
The tunnels in the vicinity are all flooded by
the underground river. 5r.....e

The landing place was about Lalf q mile from

Mr.. A. G. Townsend. Prof Steiner called loud.
ly for assistance, but failing to arouse anybody,
he evaporated his balloon, and gathering shock
or two of corn stalks, he wrapped himself in his

"Pride of the West" and slept until daylight.
After enjoying refreshing sleep, Professor
Steiner proceeded to the farm house, and arous-
ing the inmates, was carried by Mr.. Townsend
to Sandusky, where he shipped his balloon by ex-
press to this city, and himself took the morning
train.
All this time from o'clock, Prof. Steiner had
had no knowledge of his competitor in the race,
but on arriving at station on the railroad, some
l6 or 20 miles from Sandusky, Mons. GODDARD
came on board with his monster "Leviathan. y
He had landed near Hunts Corners, some 1e
miles this side of Sandusky.
The Eronauts started at 4.21, and Mons. God
ard landed at about 20 minutes past ten-having
been up about hours. Prof Steiner landed at
1890, having been in the air 10 or 10 minutes
longer than his competitor, and having travelled
in the six hours and ten minutes about.230 miles
Both could have travelled considerably far
