A Californian in Europe.-Sam'l I
G.. Drake writes letter from Paris,
which is published in the Alta. We
make the following extract:
have observed one matter which
you and all the rest of the world will,
of course observe, in reading the news.
papers. 1t is briefly this, that the
tone of the English press had some-
what altered towards Napoleon III,
since his italian campaign. They
(the journalists) begin to see that the
French Emperor is not only a deep
and profound statesman, but at the
same time consummate general. l
cannot judge of the goodness or bad
ness of his heart, but ! do think he
uses his great power with as much
moderation as the majority of men
would in his position.
1t was highly wise move in Ma
poieon to head his army in person,
notwitt standing he had generals
enough on whom he could rely with
perfect safety, because he now takes
the greatest share of glory. which is
freely aud fully accorded to him by
the whole body of the soldiery, and
he has left no chance for successful
leader of the army to shake the foun-
dation of his throne, as in the timos
of the old Bourbon dynasties.

SAD OccURRENcE.-On Thursday

bert II. Mock, formerly of Burling-
ton, Iowa, and late resident of Or
leans Flat. Nevada county, CAL. was
found in the Truckee river. Utah Ter
rltory. three and haiti miles below
the lower emigrant crossing. By
Messrs. Humes, Moore and Cummings
and from the appearance of the body
there is no doubt he was thrown from
his horse and drowned while attempt
ing to ford the river short distance
above, where the channel was much
deeper than usual, although it did not
appear so from either sh Mr.. N
left Orleans Flat on the z{E6f August
and in company with Charles H.
Humes and w. F. Cummings had es-
tablished small trading post at the
lower crossing of the Truckee, where
they were trading in groceries. ETC.,
with the emigrants, and purchasing
stock. He had always herded the
cattle on range some distance below
the camp. and on the morning of the
18th ult. went down with them as
usual. At noon he had not returned
but as he frequently remained at the
range all day his partners were in no
way uneasy. Night came and still
h. was not to be seen or heard from,
and they, in company with others.
started in search of him, confident
that something was not right. At the
range they found all the stock, except
one of the cattle and the horse he
rode when he left the camp in the
morning. These were found early
the next morning, the horse. saddled
and bridled, was feeding some dist
ance below the range and from his
appearance had not been unsaddled
since the previous morning; but no
trace of the missing man could be
found, and although the country was
secured in every direction for several
days it was not until the morning of
the 23d that he was found, as before
stated, in the river. A close examin
alton of the body revealed no cuts,
wounds or marks of violence, and it
was the opinion Of ali present that he
was accidentally dtowned. but how,
must always remain a mystery. He
was inferred a short distance from
where he was found, and it was truly
lonely burial place.
Mr. Mock had been for several
years a resident of Orleans Flat,
where his lively. cheerful tempera-
ment and frank, open-hearted dispo-
sition had won for him many warm
friends. He leaves a mother and
sister in the States. The former re-
sides in some part of Missouri. and the
latter in Burlington, Iowa.

JuaGEp FOR MALICIOUS MISCHIEF.
Constable Edwards lodged in Jail on
Wednesday. two men from North San
Juan, named Hollis Knowlton and A.
j. Keith, committed, the former for
80 days and the latter for 80, for ma
licious mischief. These precious souls
had been in the habit ef stealing veg
..ablcs from a garden owned by Chi
namen in the vicinity of San Juan.
Not content with these deIredations
they returned on Sunday night last
and burned the fence around the gar
den. On Monday night they again
madc their appearance, stoned the
house of the Cinnamon, and caught
a pig and attempted to carry it off.
John became at length aroused and
pitched into the depredators. An old
man named MeCue, who seems to have
been in company with Knowlton and
Keith. was stabbed in the side. cut in
one arm, and had his ribs broken by
the enrsged Cinnamon, SO that he is
Aors ds sco,a5dt- at present. Knowl-
ton and Keith were tiled on Tuesday
by jury in the court Of Justice
Fsrquhar and committed as above
stated. For some palliating eircum-
stances in the case of Keith he was
recommended to the mercy of the
court by the jury.
We deem it but just that the ex-
tremc penalty of the law be meted
out 10 all such offenders. In a coun-
Try where the testimony of a dozen
outraged -Chinamen weighs nothing
against the word ola conscienceless
scoundrel with a winter skin, some
thing more-than ordinary punishment
is deserved to shield tn, disarmed and
defensetess Mongolian from the ra-
Purity and cruelty of abandoned
xretcfes of our race.
