Yesterday was the day appointed for the
mail line between this city and Kansas, Mis-.
souri,, to 90 into operation, but no contractor
made his appearance to get the mail, or has
he been heard of We have no means of ac-
counting for this disregard of the contract,
unless n similar course is pursued, as has been
by other contractors in this State, who have
put in bids for carrying the mails, accompa-
MED by guarantees of presumed responsible
men that their agreement shonld be carried
out, have coolly let the matter drop because
they may have arrived at the conclusion that
they could not make money by the opera
ton, thus putting the Government to a great
extra expense and trouble, and causing much
inconv enience and delay to the people. In
connection with this sui iect we find the fol-
lowing in Washington letter to the .BulIe-
! tin:
Lieut. Beale left here few days since for
st, Louis and Albuquerque, to bridge streams
and cut out the road on the 35th parallel OF
latitude, reaching California by the TETON
Pass. lie goes out with ample powers from
the Secretary of War, who promises to pro-
tect the line by establishing military posts
wherever they may be required lie has
every motive in pushing forward this work
with vigor and fidelity, as all the property
he owns in California lies near the TETON.
He pledges himself that it shall be ready for
immigrants by the first of April next
The monthly mail from Independence, Mo-,
to Stockton, by this road, goes into operation
on the 1st of October next. The road by the
way of Salt Lake is already opened, and the
mails making regular trips. Butterfeld has
gone west to meet the first pioneer coach by
the Southern route. Thus in two months from
this time, the three great overland mails will
be in full operation.
| The Postmaster General is our firm friend
and will not suffer these great emigrant roads
to sicken and die for want of his fatherlv
care and attention The policy of the FEEDER
al Government in future, will be to withdraw
all appropriations from ocean mail steam
companies, and put it into mail and emigrant
land roads to the Pacific. The Postmaster
General is in favor of keeping up the Te-
huantepec Company, but the contract with
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company will
never be renewed On this you may RELY.
They have satisfied Congress by the monthly
payment of $4,000 to Vanderbilt that they
can run their vessels without Government
aid"
If the information of the writer is correct,
we should infer that our mail was to come
BY the southern route, instead of by the way
of Carson Valley, and it is possible that the
idea of a mail service by the latter has been
abandoned. We understand it to be the in
tention of our Postmaster to send letters to
the Atlantic States by sea, except, when
there is a reasonable hope that they might
reach their destination quicker by the land
routes-Stockt0n Republican, Saturday.

We have Los Angeles papers to Sept 26th,
from which we take the following:
Two Men DRowEED.-The Los Angeles

from Santa Barbara to the Island of Santa
Rosa, was swamped near the west end of the
island of Santa Cruz, and of three who were
ON board, only one was left to tell the tale
Those on board were, Peter Hammond, who
served as q teamster during the Mexican war,
and came to California in 1S48 with the Ora

nardno made an incursion into that city and
carried off, the first night, all the articles in
the way of clothing which they found laying
around loose, and on the second night as ma
nv horses as they could conveniently run off.
A party of citizens followed in pursuit, and
succeeded in recovering part of the stock
1t is feared that still greater depredations
may be committed.
The election in San Bernardino, on the
25th of September, for Mayor, terminated as
follows: J. W. Wilson, 60 votes; r. Pierce,
SO; J. S. Waite, 81.
A gentleman just arrived from the Gila re.
ports that large train of wagons with fami-
lies, from the Southwestern States, will soon
reach California.
From Salt Lake six wagons arrived Sept.
10Th, at San Bernardino, bringing tw enty-
five discharged teamsters from the army as
passengers There are almost daily arrivals
from Salt Lake. A large immigration is on
the way, and may be expected to arrive in
about two weeks. Several families arrived
on the 18th from Salt Lake. They report
that all is quiet in Utah, and they were glad
enough to get away. More families are on
their way. 1t is reported that we may look
for large immigration from Utah this fall

A CALIFORNIAN IN TIE Missouri WOODS
The st. Louis (Missouri) Democrat is furnish
ed by legal gentleman with the following
facts:
zone Stephen Shores who is we'll known
III this region as a cattle dealer, gambler and
California adventurer, few weeks since re-
turned from the mining district near Shasta,
in California, to jefferson county, in this
State, ria New Orleans. Later still arrived
his wife. Still later came the intelligence
that Shores had murdered man near Shasta
and was fugitive from justice. Well certi-
fed accounts are received, purporting that
Shores victim was his own friend, whom he
stabbed, with instantly fatal effect, for inter
fering in behalf of one whom he (Shores)
was fighting The slayer then fled on horse
back with dozen pursuers after him, had
his horse shot dead from beneath him and
was himself wounded in the leg He still
managed to escape and hide himself among
some brushes, and when his hunters had
searched for him in vain, they trusted, from
the blood on the saddle, that he was mortally
wounded, and returned. Shores is said to be
now secreted iI forest near the line of JEFF
fersOn and St Francis counties, in the vieini-
ty of Platon township. A large reward is
offered in California for his capture, and a
requisition for his person will probably soon
be received by the Governor Of this State. "
All of which would be particularly inter
esting to our citizens, but for the little cir
cumstance that there is not one word of truth
in the "facts" set forth. No man was ever
murdered near Shasta by a maa named
Shores--and, SO far as we remember or can
ascertain, no such man as Stephen Shores
ever resided in this county If any such
terrible affair had occurred in any part of
Northern California, we would, in all proba-
bility, remember It, AS we have no recol.
lection of the affair, of that kind, we set it
down as "sell" upon the legal gentleman"

CONVICTION OF COLE, THE MURDERER.-The
case of James Cole, who killed l. n Over
meyer at Gibsonvlle, on the 18th of Nav
last, was concluded in the District Court this
week The accused was found guilty of
murder in the first degree, and his s,ntence
will be pronounced day, Saturday, Octo-
Der I'd
The testimony adduced at the trial showed
that on the 18th of May, Cole was playing
cards in Overmeyer's saloon; Sam Vincent
was sitting near importuning Overmeyer to
give him liquor; the latter refused, and told
him to come in the morning when he should
receive his bitters." Vincent continued to
ask for liquor until Overmeyer led him to
the door and ordered him away. Cole re-
marked that he would like to see any one
try to treat him that way. On the next day,
at about noon, Cole entered the saloon with
Vincent and called for liquor. Cole drank
and took up glass of water, pausins to ask
if Sammy" wasn't to have drink Over.
meyer said he was not. Cole thereupon
threw his glass of water in Overmeyer's face
and commenced beating him upon the head
with a pitcher; Overmeyer attempted to
defend himself and scuffle ensued, during
which Cole stabbed Overmeyer to the heart,
then going to the street door, and holding
up his bloody knife, he exclaimed, "Tm the

MAN KILLED BY INDIANs-We clip the
subjoined from the Siskiyou Chronicle, 3Oth
ult
We have just received a letter from Reason
Wiley, of Orleans Bar, informing us of the
murder of man named Beyngton, who
with his family, consisting of a wife and two
children, had lived for some time past at
place known as Long Prairie, on the Union
and Weaverville trail. The murder was com
mitted within one hundred yards of Beying
tons own house. Some packers who had
camped at the house in all probability saved
the wife and children from like fate. Some
time ago number of squaws and children
were killed by the whites in that vicinity,
and the Indians had planned the massacre of
Beyington and family for retaliation and re-
vehge. The letter states that the most in
tense excitement prevails, and very peril
nently asks what will be done?
There is but one safe and sure remedy
against depredations of this kind. There is
but one course to pursue which will insure
the safety of our pioneers and their families,
and that is to hunt the treaeherous, murder
Gus towards from their hiding places, and
shoot them down, and with them those
worthless white men who live with Indians
and for whose acts of a degrading and dis
glsting nature the Indians, stirred up by a
spirit of revenge, fall upon the innocent and
unoffending, and murder them in cold blood
This class of white men are the direct cause
of more Indian outrages than all others COM
bined.
