On Saturday night last the Merchant Tailor
ing establishment of Mr.. Welder Of this place
was entered by bursting open the door and
robbed Of Cloths, Csssimeres, and made-up
Clothing to the amount Of SIX HrSpREp DOL
LARS! On Sunday morning the whole country
was secured, hand bills were circulated in every
direction, and yet Notwithstanding the robbery
must have been committed between IL and 2
o'clock in the morning, scarcely trace Of the
villains could be discovered. 1t ID believed
here that the robbers were four men who last
week f0ated q small raft of lumber to this
point. sold it at very low price for Liquors,
and shipped the Liquors on Friday or Saturday
for some point up the river. Two of these men
were seen on Sunday morning about O'Clock
with filled sacks on their backs and il has since
been ascertained that they went up the river in
skiff--the remaining two took the Sunday
Packet for some point above. Measures are
taken to ferret them out. --.......

NEGRO Emigratiou.


1t is said that owing to the severity of the
"Black Laws" of California, all the negroes Of
the Golden State are emigrating to Pugets
Sound. The Albany Journal Theemsi to think
that the Califorhians will yet regret that policy
which caused the exodus Of the blacks from
the state, and that in view Of the Frazer River
stampede which now threatens to depopulato

tens Of any kind, not even excepting the Afri-
cans or Asiatics. (Chinese.)
1t will be long time after this before any
American free state will desire supply of
Negros or Chinese to mix among her people
and lower the standard of labor, and the
Journal in its intensified sympathy for the
blacks will find in the experience of all white
communities that no absolute good results to
any free country from the presence of dsgfa-
ded race Of people. The emigration of free
blacks to Puget's Sound in latitude entirely
inappropriate to their natures and among q
people who never can treat them as equals,
