Three brothers, named PAULsEY, of Balti-
more, recently took sail on Patapsco river,
all drunk, refusing to let fourth brother
also drunk, go with them. The fourth drunk.
en- PAuLsEY took a row boat>and went on his
own hook. A flaw of wind soon struck the
sail boat, capsized it and the three occupants
were drowned. The brother in the row boat
commenced his drunken pranks, rocked the
boat over, went into the water, and when as
sistance came refused it, boasting of his abili-
ty to save himself and finally he was drown
! ed. This was on Sunday.

Mexican Affairs.
w AcuINCTON

WASHINGTON, July 21.
One of the sufferers by the taxation move
ment of the Zuloga Government held an au-
dience this forenoon with the President on
the subject. 1t is understood that he will
make an affidavit of all the facts in the case,
and file it in the State Department. Acting
under the advice of Minister Forsyth, he re-
fused to pay the tax and was compelled to
leave Mexico.
1t is probable that Mr.. Forsyth would have
been directed to withdraw the legation and
return home had he not terminated his func-
tions with the Zuloga Government. [All this
is supposed to be preparatory to demanding
from her another slice Of q indemnity for the
past and security for the future.''l

THE DESERTED ROAD.

Ancient road, that whilst deserted
through the level of the vale,
sweeping toward the crowded market
Like a stream without a sail.
standing by thee, look backward.
And as in the light of dreams,
See the years descend and vanish
Like the Whitley tented teams.
Here | stroll along the village
AS IN youths departed morn:
But | miss the crowded coaches.
And the drivers bugle-horn.-
Miss the crowd of iovial teamsters
Filling buckets'at the wells,
With their wains from Concstoge,
And their orchestras of be lis.
To the messy way-side tavern
Comes the noisy throng no more,
And the faded sign, complaining,
swings, unnOticed, at the door,
While the old, decrepid tollman,
Waiting for the few who pass,
Reads the melancholy story
In the thickly spr mixing grass.
AllCItib l-iiN a dHlulsIeu,
The usurper of the vale
Rolls in fiery, iron rattle,
EXultations on the gale.
Thou art vanquished and neglected,
But the good which thou hest done,

email be deathess as the sun.

RObbcries md Assassins in California.
Great Excitement..Quick Justice.

Great Exc1teme ment..(lu1ck ) ust1ce.
The following particulars were brought by
the Star of the West:
The people of San LUIS, Opispo county,
are just now in q state Of great excitement,
owing to the discovery among them Of regu
larly organized banditti. who for several years
past have been engaged In assassination and
robbing whomsoever they suspected Of having
money or valuables that could be stolen
The massacre Of two Frenchmen, Messrs
Barate and Borel, on the San Juan Capis-
trano ranch, forty-iive miles from San Luis.
ON the 10Th of May, aroused the people of
the county, who organized themselves into a
Vigilance Committee, and set about detect
ing the assassins. -Four Of them were caught,
and summarily executed at different places.
They were al native California Spanard>,
who, in that part of the State, seem to think
it no sin to wage a kind of private war of
rohho~,- al raf;nr - IT.. Wit rcigh
bors. The noted JACK Powers, an Ameri-
can, is said to be the chief of this gang of
bandits. The people of San Luis threaten
q war of extet mination against them. Sevc-
raj of the Williams executed are fugitive Grim
inals, for whose capture large rewards have
been offered by the Governor, and other re-
wards by the citizens. The people preferred
to hang them up to turning them over to the
authorities and claiming the rewards.
Following close after this excitement in the
South, comes the news OF similar explosion
in Carson Valley. Some time ago, poor
Frenchman, named Henri Galdere, was mur-
dered and robbed in Honey Lake Valley. 4
man named Snow was seized by the people
there, and the circumstances proved against
him showed too plainly that he was concerned
in the crime. TO save his life, he confessed
that he belonged to regular band OF robbers
gave their secret signs and passwords, and
named number of his confederates. 1t was
given out that Snow had been hung,and means
taken to capture the entire gang Of assassins
with certainty. These proved successful, and
on Monday. the 18th of June, seven of these
scoundrels were suddenly seized by an armed
band of citizens, at Genoa, Calson Valley
and, were, at latest accounts, being tried for
their lives by an dmprompu jury; and it is
thought that three of them, w. b. Thornton,
l.. Olds, and one Edwards would certainly
be hung. Edwards murdered Mr.. Smelling,
last Fall, at Snelling's ranch, Merced county
and reward of ST. 500 was offered for his
apprehension by the neighbors of his victim.
He undoubtedly deserves death. The people
in the sparsely settled region OF Carson Val
ley, which is outside of the limits of the State
of California, were, of course, much excited
by these events.

THE HOUSE OF MOURNuNc

There's mourning in the househola-
There's wall on the air of Night,
There's crushed and broken spiritE
Crushed when their hopes were bright
The fell destroyer mSsioned.
Again the fond hearts torn.
Again, from the arms of affection.
A cherished one is borne.
There's joy among the Angels
There's music in the spheres
Another has joined their number
The white-robed form appears!
And there, in her saint-like beauty,
She roams, spirit blest,
"Where the wicked cease from troubling,
And the weary are al rest !"

Expose Forthcoming from John Can.
dlebOX Calhoun.


The following is one of the late on dts
from Washington:
The last rumor is that the illustricus John
Calhoun, of Kansas, is indignant at his re-
moval from the office Of Surveyor General
and is about to print certain mysterious doc
uments received from distinguished gentle
men in favor of the doctrine of Popular Sow
ereignty. 1t is stated that he will also show
that while he is supposed to have been the
prime mover in the dissertation of Governor
Walker, he has simply been used to pull the
chestnuts out Of the fire.
The bringing to light Of those mysterious
documents" may perhaps be personal relief
to the great ballot-box swindlers mind, but
it is entirely unnecessary as evidence that he
was in the hands of archer swlndlers than
himself

The New York Tribune OH Lincoln,s
Speech.

The Tribune thus remarks upon his speech:
"The admirable and thoroughly Republi-
can speech of MIR. Lincoln in reply to Judge
Douglas, published in our last, seemed to re-
qure no comment; yet single remark with
reference to the origin and attitude Of the
rival canvassers may not be out of place.
Judge Douglas who regards slavery as an
affair of climate and latitude, is native OF
free Vermont; Mr.. Lincoln, who esteems
Slavery as National evil, and hopes that our
Union may be all Free, was born and reared
in Slave holding Kentucky"

THE FOUNDING OF THE BELL.
BY CHARLES MNCKAY.

Iark how the furnace pants and roars;
Hark how the mOuten metal pours,
1t glitterS in the sun;
Now. through The ready mould it flows,
Seething and Kissing n it goes,
And ill ing every crcvice up,
AS tie red vintag ge fills the cup;
Hurra,. the work is done
Unswathe him now: take off each stay
That binds him to his couch of clay,
And let him struggle into day;
Let chain ald pulley run,
With yielding crank and steady rope,
Until he rise from rim to cope
In rounded beauty, rihb'd in strength,
Without flaw in all its length;
llurrah the work is done
The clapper on his giant side
Shall ring no peal for Dlushing bride,
For birth, or death, or new year tide,
Or festival begun.
A nations JOY alone shall be
The signal for his revelry,
And Tor a nations woes alone
His melancholy ngue shall moan;
Hurrah. the work is done
Should foeman liG' "A naughty hand,
An dare invade us where we stand,
Fast by the altars Of our land
Wen gather every one;
And he shall ring a loud alarm
To call the mut tiiuds to arm;
From distant fieiF and forest brown,
And teeming ALLEYS of the town;
HuTrah . the work is done!
And as the solemn boom they hear,
Old men shall grasp the iron spear
Laid by 10 rust for many a year,
And To the struggle run
Young men shdll leave their tolls or books,
Or turn TO swords their pruning hooks;
And maids have sweetest smiles for those
Who battle with their country's foes;
Hurrah, the work is donei
And when the cannor's iron throat
Shall bear this news 20 dells rem te,
And trumpet blast rcsound the note,
That victory is won;
When down the wind the banner drops,
And hOnfires blaze on mountain-tops,
His sides shall glow with fierce delight,
And ring glad peals from rHorn to night;
IIurrah the work is done!
But Of such scenes forbear to tell;
May never war awake this bell
To sound the tocsin or the knell;
flushed he the alarm gun;
Sheathed be the sword; and may his voice
But call the nations to rejoice
That War his tattered flag has furled,
And vanished from a wiser world;
Hurrah the work is done!
Still may he ring when struggles cease,
Still may he ring for joys increase,
For progi ess in the arts of peace,
And friendly trophies won;
When rival nations join their hands;
When plenty crowns the happy lands;
When knowledge gives new blessings birth,
And freedom reigns DER all the earth
Hurrahi the work is done

CITY and Country Banks.

As the Banks Of Richmond refuse to take
on deposit rr otherwise, the issues OF the IT,
dependent Banks, the latter it is said, have
refused to discount paper for any merchant
who proposes to use the proceeds in Rich
mond. The consequence is that portion OF
the Richmond trade Is diverted to Baltimore.
A correspondent Of the Wing. who writes
IRON Albemarle, jusslfes the course pursued
by the Country Banks, and illustrates l. ne
cessl,y as follows:
a merchant wants paper discounted, say al
the Valley Bank az stanton, and wishes 10 use
the proceeds III purchasing his goods in Rich
mond Suppose the bank grants the discount,
and Il is not convenient 10 pay IN any other than
lis own issues. The merchant carries the money
20 Richmond, and pays ii 10 the Richmond mer.
chant. The Richmond banks refuse 10 take II
on deposit and the Richmond merchant carries
1t to broker and sells 1t al hall per cert dis
count. and the broker the same or the next day,
sends 1t home Tor redemption in specie.
is it not evident, under these circumstances,
that the bank wo4ld be going against its own
interest in paying out It's own issues Tor the pro-
ceeds OF ps per discounted, when II is certain that
they would be returned so speedily Tor redemp-
tion3'
The writer can find no excuse for the con-
duet Of the Richmond Banks, but regards it
as az act of wanton oppression against the
Interior Banks and the citizere OF Richmond.
The law passed by the las: Legislature, re-
curing all demands 10 be paid IN specie, is
a mere pretext; for the general Banking Law
required the same thing before, and the

The Farmers Back will take the notes
of the Branch of the Bank Of Firglala at

Why Discriminate between tho two Banks, If
the reason assigned tor rejecting the notes OF
the Independent Banks be the real one that
governs them ?--StauntOn Spectator.
