RrltIsh Arrrea.lon. In the enlf Of Me1lco.

We give on our first page synopsis OF the
debates in the U. S. Senate, in regvrd to tie ag-
rressens of British cruisers upon American
commerce in the Gulf of Mexico. Nothing had
been acted on at last accounts, but from the
tone of the Senators representing different par
ties and sections. it is probable that some bill
similar to that introduced by Mr.. Douglas, will
be adopted The proposition made by several
Senators, to send out instructions TO our Gulf
squadron TO run down and capture the British
men-of-war, known to have been boarding
American vessels. bring them into the nearest
port and put the officers on trial for piracy on
the high seas, we believe would be approved by
the masses Of the people. We are surprised
that this policy was not adopted at first, for
in no other way can American commerce in the
Gulf be protected. The officers in command Of
British vessels are not likely to interfere with
our merchantmen while one of our national YES
sells is in sight, knowing as they must, that a
fight would be the consequence, and unless the
pratcal cruisers are suffered to be captured
wherever found, their aggressive acts cannot be
avenged. An apology from the British govern
ment for the firing into and boarding of some
forty or fifty American vessels is no atonement
for the ontrages. A blow first, and negota
tions afterwards, is the policy which should be
adopted by our government in this case
and nothing less will satisfy the people. Ne
gotations answer very well in their proper
place. but when such series of outrages are
perpetrated against American vessels, pursuing
the peaceful avocations of commerce, our gov
ernment will fail in its duty, If it does not take
measures to retalate in kind If the outrages
are committed under orders from the British
government they amount virtually to n declar-
alton of war if committed without authority,
every act Of firing into and boarding vessel is
piracy. and the officers guilty of the offense
should be apprehended and brought into some
American port to be tried on the charge.
The next mail steamer will probably bring
the answer of the British government to Mr..
Cass' note in relation to these outrages. Should
it turn out that the British naval officers have
been acting without orders, the excitement and
indignation which has been aroused throughout
the country will quietly subside; but if the out
RACES have been perpetrated by order of the
government, and the right Of search is still in
sisted on such Feeling will be created among
the people as will force the government to adopt
the most energetic aud effective measures for
retaliation. Congress will probably remain in
session until the difficulty is adjusted

Awful Tragedy at Grass valley.

A desperate fght occurred at Osborn Hill
near Grass Valley, last Thursday afternoon
which resulted in the death of two men, and
the wounding Of several others. The parties
engaged in the affray were Doctor McMurtry
his brother James II. McMurtry, and Richard
Kimbal, on one side, and Alex Griffin. John
McCabe, and ten or fifteen others, upon the 9th
or aide. The difficulty originated about a
quartz lead. McMurtry's party had sunk a
shaft on the disputed ground. and the two par
ties met on the day of the difficulty, and agreed
to have the matter arbitrated by their friends
the next morning. Grifln's party then left
armed themselves with shot guns and rifles and
in short time returned for the purpose of dr-
wing off McMurtry's party. The latter, seeing
they we're oHtnumbered, concluded to leave the
ground, and as they started of. they were fired
upon by Gritiin's party. Jas. II. McMurtry was
killed and Kimball was severely wounded. DR..
McMurtry then drew his revolver, and fired five
shots at the assaulting party, killing man
named Holland, and woundng "Cayotc jack
and John McCabe-the former severely, the
latter slightly. He then picked up derrnger
which belonged to his brother, but by this time
Grfin's party had commenced scattering. and
he did not use it. James McMurtry was shot
through the chest, the ball having entered just
below the left arm and passed downward. Kim
ball was shot in the face and neck with charge
of buck-shot. He is severely wounded but it is
said will recover. It was reported, and gener-
ally believed, that two others Of Grifin's party
were dangerously wounded, bnt we are inform
ed that such is not the case.
Eleven of the assaulting party were arrested
and examined before Justice Richardson at
Grass Valley. Five were discharged; Philip
Shields was held to bail in the sum Of $4,000,
and Alex. Griffin. Michael McGee, p. Harring-
ton, John McCabe, and Michael Casey were
committed to Jail on the charge Of murder.

Ed. DEMocRAT.-The primary election, which
took place last Saturday evening, for the cleo
ton of delegates to the Democratic County
Convention, resulted as was anticipated in the
success of the Popular Sovereignty, anti-Le-
compton ticket. Notwithstanding the election
was conducted fairly and honestly, there was
considerable grumbliHg among some of the de-
feated party.
Since the Supreme Court have decided the
Sunday law unconstitutional, that day presents
tue usual every day appearance, in this aud
neighLoriug towns. with the exception that
there is little extra excitement. 1t was gen.
orally considered an unjust aud compulsory
law, and the people are generally glad it was
set aside. We are in favor of proper Obser-
vance Of the Sabbath, but wish to have it OBJ
served by the free will of the people.
Although the Inducements offered in neigh
boring towns. for the celebration of the Fourth
were far superior TO those offered at home yet
that great and glorious day was celebrated
here with all the ardor aud enthusiasm that
could be expected Of patriotic people,
The different amusements closed with ball on
the night of the 9Th. and the ball room pre-
sented a galaxy of beauty which could not be
excelled in the country.
Our mines are still yielding forth their rich
deposits in abundance. We occasionally hear
of big Strikes and nearly all the miners are
doing good business. B.
