JAMES ANDERsoN.-T unfortunate young
man, whose case has caused so much pity and
so much mention in the papers, was here, yes
terday, in the station house. He had been sit
ting out in front of the Western Hotel. where
be became such an offensive sight to the pass
ers-by, that he was removed to the station
house by the police, where he was carefully
provided for, and will be sent down TO San
Francisco to-day. His case is truly q deplor
able one. His lower jaw is in a state o rot
tenness, and has been for some time falling OF
piecemeal The cause OF it was blow he re-
ceived some eighteen months ago, on board the
whaling ship Parachute, from brass knuckle
on the hand Of the second mate, a brute named
Creery. From want of attention, he caught
cod in the wound and it soon reduced him to
a wretched condition. The L. S. Consul
found him at the Sandwich Islands and ship
ped him to San Francisco, where he was put
into the Marine Hospital. be staid there
some time, but it seems that the physicians
there could do nothing for him. DR.. Cooper
told him, he says, that. if he could get money
enough to board himself somewhere for the re-
uuisite length Of time, he, the doctor. could
cure him. and would do so for nothing. In
the hope of raising the money, the poor fellow
left the Hospital and came up here, but he pre-
sents such a spectacle that hotel-keepers and
keepers of restaurants, and others doing bust
ness, do not want him about, and so he has
been taken up as an act of kindness, by the
police, and will be sent back TO the Marine
Hospital as stated above. He says, that he
could easily raise the money necessary to board
himself during the promised attendance on him
of DIR. Cooper, if he could only be allowed to
90 around and beg for it, but that he Is such
an awful sight that people will not allow him
to do it. If it be true that DIR. Cooper can
cure him, and the official physicians of the hos
pital cannot, means ought to be taken by the
benevolent citizens of San Francisco, where
DR.. Cooper lives, to get him into the hands oi
that physician Marysuale Democrat.

Gen. Sutter and the Settlers.

Gen. ]. A. Sutter publishes the subjoined
card in the Sacramento Union, addressing it
aTo the Public:
MEssRs. EDIroRs: About the 1st Of Jau-
uary last, | was waited upon b. committee
of the Settlers of Sacramento City and Conn
ty, for the purpose of procuring a reIinqu;sh-
ment from me, to the United States, for the
benefit Of the Settlers, of any title [ might
have to lands lying south of the junction Of
the Sacramento and Feather rivers.
After rejecting upon the matter l eouclud-
ed to do So prov ded they would relieve me to
some extent Of my great pecuniary wants and
pay me such ii sum as would enable me, should
the Supreme Court of the United States de-
eide according to their desires, TO fully com
pensate those who had purchase lands, tAFo'
agents, under my title, in good faith paying
for the same.
As to that large class of persons who have
procured my title for nothing-by fraud, etc.
and to whom are justly attributed my misior-
tunes, desire to make no provisions | prefer
red they should be punished The committee
agreed to pay me a sum which | considered
sufficient for the above purpose, aud satisfied
me of their ability so to do, and OF their good
faith. | therefore gave power OF attorney,
authoriz ng my attorney in Washington to dis
claim for me location of any lands that might
be granted me south of Sacramento and Eeath-
er rivers.
Since which time the action of the settlers
is such as to entirely convince me that il they
ever did design the fulflment of their under
taking they have long since abandoned it.
Having therefore, resolved, upon taking the
proper steps to nulify the action taken for the
benefit of the Settlers, it is due to myself that
the pubic and few who have been real friends,
ard who have been estranged by said action,
should know my objects aud motives then and
now, which is the object of this. What others
may think it matters little.

Again the Pawnees came into the Missouri
country, resolved, ON this occasion. totally to
eXterminate them. The Missouris, encouraged
by Manutee had lost all Of their superstllIouS
fears, and went forth in their full strength to
meet their enemies.
As usual, the strange warrior rushed in front
of the Pawnees, but the arrows which had
been formerlp aimed at his heart, now struck
against his head. and one entered the brain,
through one of the holes which had been left
for his eyes. With groan be fell dead upon
the ground and with his first war whoop Of
victory, Manutee sprang to the spot, tore off
his hemlet and visor, and in moment he shook
his reeking scalp in the air. AT the sight the
Missouri warriors uttered shout Of triumph,
and rushed againt the Pawnees, who. dlscour-
aged at the fall of the great warrior who had
come amongst them, and had been their cham
pion in so many battles, were so spiritleSs and
paralyzed, that they made but little resistance,
and lost the whole Of their effective force in
this battle.
There was an universal jubilee among the
Missouris, who now in their turn had become
conquerors, when SO near the despairlng hour,
and by universal acclamation Alanutee was
elected chief of the nation. When the battle
was over, and the pursuit of the Pawnees I'm
ished Manutee ordered the dead body OF the
strange warrior to he brought TO the bluff Of
rocks where he had received the revelation.
He laid it on pile OF wood and burnt it there
as sacrifice to the maneS of his father.
From that day to this. the mound Of rocks
has been called Arrow Rock, and has been visi
ted by the Indians to obtain material for the
point Of their arrows, because Of its durability.
For many years the lodge Of Mauutee con
tained the coat of mail which the White War
rior wore, and this gold cruciiix which | now
have. Years have passed away, and many
generations have come and departed, yet one
of the family of the Manutee has always been
chief of the Missouris, and | married one Of
the descendants who was in possession Of this
reic aud when she died. l have kept it care
fully since, having been brought Up in the
Catholic faith.
Blanchette Chasseur. after the hunter had
finished bis narrative. looked again at the cross,
and read distinctly engraved upon il the name
of "Marcela."
1t is more than probable that the warrior
whose body was burnt on Arrow Rock, and
who was owner OF the cross, was Garcia, who
had deserted from De Soto, and who was the
son Of Charles V, and Marcela, the shepAcEdess.

tits Coming.
BY wM. GLAND BOURNE.

In the age of mythic vision,
Years gg0ne, as years do fly,
Poets dreamed of fields Elysian
Where the glories never die.
Painted they the bright delusion,
Often called the Golden Age,
And they lent the gay illusion
Borrowed light from fancy's page.
But their strains rehearsed the story
OF the ancient days Of dream,
When the woIlds primeyal glory
Made the past enchanted seem.
It is coming! Sure and onward
Coming from the realms of day
While the spirit, looking sunward,
Like an eagle, sees the ray.
Earnest souls around ms labor,
Yearning Tor the coming time,
When the scim etar and sabre,
ssheathed, shall cease their deeds OF crime.
When the words Of love shall waken
Worldwide fires in hearts of men,
When tae spirit shall be shaken
Till it finds Its God again.
Nights high priest, tn Egyptian Phsroah,
Bids the fastening time delay,
Painting in the pathway narrow
Stubble creeds that fear the day.
Telling Faiths bright earnest children,
They that bear the oppressor's chain
Get ye to your tasks and burden,
Get ye to your bonds again
Yet day shall end your sorrow,
Ye shall serve the gods ye knew
On the morning of the m rrow
Oat of Egypt ye shall go.1
Long the world has heard the fable,
Sought the sin procrastined day,
Bu the towering walls Of Babel
Soon shall wed their native clay.
Earth old temple, dome and pillar,
Like a charnel flied with death,
Builded by the brother Killer,
Mindeth what the spirit saith.
In its shadow pure and olden,
Lieth freedoms cornerstone,
Which we seek, while songs embolden
Hearts Of giant trust alone.
Dat of darkness light is springing-
Out of dumbness gloriaus Speech
Prophets from The dead are bringing
Living souls that boldly teach.
Out of brass and out of iron
Soon shall come the shining gold,
While the beams shall then environ
Realms whose splendor is untold.
Then shall love spring forth unbiddea;
Then shall light spring forth unborn;
For their foes shall all be hidden
In the unclouded Golden Morn.
