ABDUCHoN-PURsUGT-W mentioned re-
Gently that a Chinese woman was abducted
early one morning from her domcil on |
street, and carried to parts unknown Infor-
nation of her whereabouts being ascertain
ed, special policeman Frank Hardy left town
on Saturday last, armed with a warrant for
the arrest of two Cinnamon, who had CON
summated the abduction. 1t being ascer-
tanned that they were at Mokelumne Hill he
proceeded thither, and on arriving found that
they had left just previously for jackson
with the woman. He followed on to Jack.
son, and there discovered that they had con-
tinued their flight to Campo Seco Pursuing
on, he found that they had Just crossed the
river about six miles above Campo Seco.
The alleged legitimate husband of the wo-
man SWAN the river to intercept the abscond-
ing party, and succeeded in doing so, but on
receiving a stab in the back and cut under
the eye from one Of the fugitives, backed
down and re-crossed the river. The warrant
for the arrest of the parties was left with a
Constable at Campo Seco by the officer, who
returned to the city yesterday. We learn
that the Cinnamon in question entered a
complaint against the woman, charging her
with grand larceny stealing jewelry to the
amount Of bout @400. In view of the prac-
Ilce 50 couluon among certain classes OF the
Chinese of trumping up charges against
woman for the purpose Of obtaining posses
sion of her and running her off as an article
of merchandise or traffic, no attention was
paid to the case and nothing further thought
oft till the complaining witnesses appeared
at Campo Seco in company with the identi-
cal woman. 1t is stated that to consummate
the abduction Chinaman YVES hired to lodge
in the house of the woman, and open the
doors carly in the morning, atfordng his
employers free access, and that the woman
was thereupon seized, gagged. rushed into
buggy which was in readiness. and hurried
off to the interior. Ofconrse the special po-
licemen employed in Chinatown were not in
the vicinity about this time. The husband

Sz3- The Sierra Citizen contains the fol
lowing particulars of the late avalanches in
that county:
AVALANCHE AT THE BUTrEs-Loss OF LIFE
AND DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY AT 10 o'clock
on Thursday night last, a snow slide occurred
near the Downieville Buttes, crushing the
dwelling house adjoining Reynolds quartz
mill, and killing Henry Eberheart and Sc
verely wounding the brothers c. w. and
w. G. Reynolds No full particulars of the
catastrophe have been received. We can
hear only, from persons who lett Kanala
Bar yesterday to procure surgical attendance,
that shortly after the accident six men started
for Downieville, and were SO impeded by
the snow as to be unable to reach Kanaka
Bar. which is about six miles from the Buttes,
until the next morning They remained
there, and sent Others to town for the pur-
pose above stated 1t is not known that
Eberheart was killed, but as he could not be
found, it seems evident that he was deprived
of life by the falling timbers. George Rey-
nolds is badly hurt,
BY this deplorable occurrence, many are
reminded that in the winter of 1852, two
men were killed by an avalanche near the
spot where Reynolds quartz mi / was after
wards erected.
LArER,-The persons who left the Buttes
for Downieville arrived here 60 day, Friday
They state that the house was torn entirely
to pieces, but the mill was not injured, W.
Q. Reynolds was thrown into the mill pit,
and George w. was found lying in his bed,
which had been thrown sixty feet from where
the house stood. severely injured. James
Phillips was in the company's office, and he
declares that he was carried unhurt through
window
ANOTHER AvALANoHE--We learn that Reis'
lower quartz mill, situated in a ravire above
Reynolds mill was carried away on Thurs
day night by a snow slide No further par
ticulars. Sixty or seventy men are hunting

CURIOSITY SHoP.-CaliforEia, from its

valuable and instructive in the great Museums
of the world. California needs some such re-
pository some public museum where all that
is rare might be gathered together for the
enlightenment and instruction of mankind.
We were forcibly impressed with this neces-
sity on casually surveying a collection of rare
and curious matters which j. l. Jungermann,
No. 81 Sansome street, has gathered around
him. Rare quartz specimens, auriferous lime
stone, lead silver, gold and copper mingled
with hinty slick; sulphates and sulphurets Of
strange device and still more strange comb
nations; crystals, in slabs and detached, some
rivaling the purity of snow, and others as
carnation as the rose, stalactites rivaling the
brilliancy of the diamond, geodes; the debris
of the flood taken from the bowels of the
earth or the filed channels of former rivers

beautiful aud cherishable objects. In add-
ton he has fine cabinet of gold specimens

ONE OF OUR PROFESSIONAL INCIDENTALs.-
a little while since, two young men came to
cur office and were solctous in regard to
our opinion on their project, which contem-
plated the establishment of n newspaper in
the Territory of Utah. We urged them to
go ahead. gave them a name for their paper,
and wrote prospectus, which was printed
at our ONCE without cost to themselves. We
extended other courtesies. and in most sin
'eere Kindness, wished them success Though
we remarked to the ones associated with Ms
that when those boys got to Utah. they
would, on our first mention of anything con-
tanned in their paper, apply to us the same
unmanly language used by others. mo
they won't" said one; and, in the course of
@ short time, we alluded to a paragraph of
the Territorial Enterprise, on the faisified
subject of overland mails. We were partic-
ular to separate the Enterprise from inten-
tional misrepresentation, and in truth COM
plimented the good sense facilities Of its edi-
tor. A number of that paper dated Feb.
9th, IS here, containing the predicted abuse.
The Citizens invectv, is characterized as the
result of bitter malignity, and we are person
ally exposed to the sneering laughter of a
derlsive world; our "brain is imbuod with
the spirit of old Ego" and our Superior and
expansive intelligence" referred to our
strongly marked countenance" We were
never 50 much dissected We feel that we
should have given our gracious Young friends
either the information that in editorial cour-
tesy no splitting in faces is allowable, or we
should have kicked them out of our office on
suspicion of ingratitude.-SStte;rr;as era H''''--

Menaces of Disunion.

Senator lverson, OF Georgia, In speech on
the Pacific Railrc ad Bill, took it for granted
that the Union would shortly be dissolved,
and for that reason favored the construction
of two railroads to the Pacific, one for the
benefit of the North, and the other for the
South. The st. Louis Republican, in refer
ring to the speecE says:
We are not in the habit of sparing in pub
lie men gratuitous and unproyoked declara-
tions of disunion re itiments. We therefore
may as well say frankly, what we think of
Mr.. Iverson's recent Railroad and disunion
speech in the Senate. The speech is, in
few words, insufferably absurd and prepos-
ferrous. Can any Senator be sane, We might
ask even in the medical sense, who will, with
apparent seriousness, urge the North to build
n railroad to accommodate a Southern Con-
federacy, and the South to build one to ac.
commodate a Northern Confederacy, after
the Union shall have been split in two p
Senators sit where they do under the obi
cations of an oath to support a constitution
which was framed expressly to "form u more
perfect union" and yet one of them gravely
advises the body of which he is a member to
legislate in view of a rupture of that Union
To make laws, not for the United States, but
for States wholly foreign to the United States
A proposition thus seriously urged goes vast
ly beyond all those heady and foolish threats
of which we hear too many from members of
Congress- who, if they have nothing else to
utter, would do better not to open their
mouths at all
Mr.. Iverson tells Congress that the Union
is sure to split, and therefore the Union ought
to provide for the comfort of the several parts.
We cannot agree to any such non sequitcr.
We think that if the parts are so foolish as
to become twain they should be left to take
care each of itself The Union is not in our
opinion so pc; ilously situated as Mr.. Iverson
imagines But, if anything could disgust all
the moderate and sensible men in the coun-
try with the Union, it would he the convic
tion that such Congress members as are so
free to blurt oIt threats that this and that
State will secede, truly represent any consid-
erable portion of their constituents Even
with that conviction prevalent, the geograph-
ical features Of the United States would pro
badly suffice to bar disunion. But if we had
no Mississippi. or that river lay in the direc-
tion Of the Ohio river, such prevalent con
viction might lead to a result which perhaps
is the last one that many of these very hot.
spurs really desire. The minatory gentle
men would finally lie taken at their word
