COLONEL WILLIAMS, gallant officer
from New Orleans, tells the following
capital story of himself and friend who
heard it sends it to the Drawer:
The Colonel was on visit to the North.
and at "a large dinner-party in Lancaster,
Pennsylvania. He was almost stranger to
the company, both ladies and gentleman,
bat his agreeable manners secured him
home reception, and he was quite at ease
among his new acquaintance. cat din
mel" says the Colonel, 81 was seated OPP
posite to young and very accomplished
lady, who remarked, in the course of con-
versation:
Surely, Sir, you cannot have resided
very long at the South, your complexion
is SO very fairr
YES l replied, 4 am a creole of
Louisiana
INSTANTLY every one around me was
startled, conversation tagged, and all eyes
were turned upon poor me, utterly I'M
conscious of having said or done any thing
to attract SO much attention knew not
what to make of it, tell the lady remark
ed again, with long breath:
"Well, Sir, | DECLARE beg your par
don, Sir-but | would certainly have ia
ken you for white man 7
"My face burned like fire, and for a
while | was silent in my confusion; but re-
covering myself, asked the young lady
what she supposed the word creole meaut'
"'Why, black; or yellow, Sir, don t
know which; and it don't make much diff
ference
81 then explained to her and the COM
pany, greatly to their relief, that creole
means nataoe, and has no reference to color
or race; that creole horses and creole COWS
are as commonly poken of as creole men;

Brown does this good story into verse for
the Post:
A gay youny spark, who long had sighed
To take an heiress for his bride,
Though not in vain he had essayed
To win the favor of the maid,
Yet fearing, from his humble station,
To meet her fathers cold negation,
Made up his mind, without delay,
To take the girl and run away
A pretty plan-what could be finer p
But as the maid was yet minor,
There still remained this slight obstruction !:
He might be punished for "abducton p
Accordingly, he thought it wise
To see the squire and take ad rice
A cunning knave who loved trick
As well as fees, and skilled to pick,
AS lawyers can, some latent flaw
To help client cheat the law.
Before him straight the case was laid,
Who, when the proper fee was paid,
Conceived at once happy plan,
And thus the counselor began
"Young man, no doubt your wisest course
Is this tonight you get horse,
And let your lady love get on;
As soon as ever that is done,
You get on too-but, bark ye! mind
She rides before you ride behind
And thus, you see, you make it true,
The tady runs a'oay aeith youP
That very night he got the horse,
And An, put the lawyers plan in force;
The truant lady was his daughter.
MORAL.
When lawyers counsel craft and guile,
1t may, sometimes, be worth the while,
II they'd avoid the deepest shames,
To ascertain the parties names

Correspondence of the Democrat.

WASHINGTON, Feb 20, 1858.
Ed. Democrat This is mining camp situs-
ted on the South Yuba river, twenty-One miles
north of Nevada city, and is probably the old
est mining camp in Nevada county. 1t was
first settled by company of emigrants from
Indiana in the fall of ls49, who remained here
through the winter; during which time they
could do but little in the way of prospecting
for gold aud therefore amused themselves by
hunting the deer and bear which come down
from the mountains in great numbers seeking
refuge from the heavy snow storms, beneath
the wide spread branches Of the live oaks which
grow upon the little fats and along the river
banks. In the spring of 1850 this handful of
mountaineers were Joined by hundreds of men
in search of the precious metal, with which it
was supposed the bed of the river was covered
to a considerable depth. In the mouth of Au-
gust following, there were over one thousand
men engaged in constructing dams aud canals
for the purpose of prospecting their claims; but
when the river was drained it did not prove to
be as rich as was anticipated by the eager and
of them shouldered their blankets and left for
new diggings, by which means Washington on
the South Yuba had a delegate in almost every
mining camp in the State, aud was universally
condemned hence the slow progress which this
place has made from 1851 up to the present
Those who were contented with making from
one to two ounces per day stopped here, and
by their industry and economy accumulated
weath-flled their purses, and the most Of them
have long since retured to the bosom Of their
friends in the Atlantic States to enjoy the fruits
of their labor, while others have wisely taken
to themselves the "better-haf," and settled
down permanently. The gradual increase of
population and wealth of this town for the last
five years speaks well for the mines in its vi
cinity, which are mostly bank digglngs and
worked with hydraulic pressure.
This town from its location commands the
trade of very large scope of country, inclu-
ding PoorInan's creek, Castor Ridge and Fall
River; the latter place has recently been dis
covered, and so far as prospected it has proved
to be rich. find here NO less than FIVE provis-
ion, and two clothing stores, two hotels, one
billiard saloon, and rnm shops too numerous to
mention, all of which seem to be enjoying q lib
eral patronage. The citizens have manifested
considerable public spirit in constructing roads,
bridges, &c, in their neighborhcod. The town
proper has population OF some two hundred
persons, Of which number about twenty-five
are women and children.
At different times during the week which
have just spent here. have conversed with
some OF the old settlers who confidently look
forward to time which they say is not far of,
when their political power will be felt and their
right respected in Nevada county.
l am going TO visit all the mining towns
north Of Nevada city and south of the Yuba
rv r, and will write you from each place.
take ny leave Of Washington this evening and
journey to Alpha, where shall doubtles have
some rich things to record in few days.

The shooting Array at San Juan.
NORTH SAN JUAN, Feb 2l, 1858.

The Shooting ARRAY ut san Juan.
NORTH SAN JUAN, Feb. 81. 1858.
EH Democrat Il send you the particulars of
the shooting affair last night. l believe they
are mainly true.
VIM. Reynolds, driver of the G. Stage Co.'S.
coach from Marysville to San Juan, has had
criminal intercourse with the wife of E. Nor
tbup; the fact was discovered by Mr.. French,
proprietor of the saw mill at which Mr. and Mrs.
g, NOrthup were employed; this discovery was
made on Friday, 18th inst; aud soon became
the current topic in town. Reynolds continued
his trips to this place regularly. and appeared
on terms of social intimacy with Northup, until
feeling Of contempt for the latter seemed to
pervade the.entirs community.
On Saturday a card appeared in the 'Star''
signed Geo. W. Moore, implying that Reynolds
had offered reward Of $500 TO know the au-
thor Of the report above mentioned, and offer
ing to show r. the author for per centage Of
the amount.
Evening came, and with It the stage and
Reynolds few minutes after bis arrival he
encountered Mr.. French, and placing his hand
upon his pistol. demanded Gt is said) retrac-
tion; French said he was unarmed, but that he
would not retract a word; Reynolds then abus-
ed him, ending with splitting in his face he
then proceeded TO the hotel, passed up stairs,
and after Q short time went down to the bar
room, where Northup. Moore and others were;
on entering he shook hands with Northup, and
passed on; Moore then went 10 him. and while
saying that French was innocent. Northup fred
into his breast; Reynolds ran into the dining
room and thence into the wash-room, NOrthup
following and firing on reaching the wash
room, Reynolds fell on his hands and kaees.
aud Northup fired one or two shots in his back.
Reynolds died in few moments. Northup
went to the Justices Office and delivered him
self up, but no one appearing against him he
was discharged; subsequently, on the finding
Of the verdict of the Coroners jury, warrant
was issued, but he has not been found though
il is not supposed he intends to avoid arrest.
An inquest was held by Justice Farquhar,
and a verd ct returned in accordance with the
above facts, adding that the shooting was pre-
meditatcd.
There arc four wounds in Reynolds breast,
two in his back and one in his hand. He was
about 81 or 80 years old. OF an excellent family
in Illinois, where his mother now resides.

give YOU the events which have trarspred
in connection with the tragedy of Saturday eve
ming.
There was an intense. though not noisy ex-
citempnt throughout the whole OF Sunday; and
garblcd accounts Of the incidents Of the prev-
ous night were passed from mouth to mouth.
On Sunday afternoon, Dist Atty Anderson
aud Dep. Sheriff Van IIagan came over and II
warrant was issued for the arrest of Constable
Moore; he and Northup were arrested at
Moore's house towards night Moore was dis
charged on bis own recognEanec to appear in
the morning, while Northup was placed in
charge of three Deputy Constables the exam
ination before the Justice having been postpon-
cd until 0 clock on Monday.
Morning came, and with it Mr.. Moore. but
Northup had flown. He had been taken to the
house of one OF his guards, one Of whom bad
occupied bed with him. 1t appears that n.
had arisen during the night, dressed, passed
through the room in which the other two were
doing. opened the door and walked Out. Up
to the time of writing he has not been retaken,
though it is the general opinion, that he is yet
in town.
Al o'clock, the preliminary examination Of
Constable Moore, as accessory. commenced be-
fore Justice Johnson; Mr. Moore being defend
cd by Messrs. Mcconnell Meredith, Dunn, Bry-
an aud Stidger. the two former being also re-
.taiued for NorthHp.
A number Of witnesses we're examined, but
nsthing was elected tending to implicate Moore
directly in the shooting. The most important
evidence was that of Surgeons Clebourne and
Randall, who had just held an autopsy on the
body of Reynolds. They testified quite posi-
lively that six balls entered the body. Other
witnesses testified to having counted the sbets,
and were positive there we're but five. One
Witaess, q stranger, testified that be saw the
fash of pistol coming from the hand of tall
man, aud on being asked if he could point out
the man. pointed to Mr. Moore.
From the testimony thus far, it appears that
pistol was put in MOore's pocket by Clark
Howland. private watchnan o Few moments
before the firing. and this pistol Moore after
wards handed to Vim II. Sears, who examined
it. and found one barrel discharged il had the
appearance of having been fired long time
since and the other barrels. were evidently a
long time loaded. The examination is yet in
progress Tuesday III A. n.
The funeral of Reynolds took place yesterday
afternoon; thus closing the Sd act in the trag-
edy.
