A FRIGHTFUL RoBBERY.-A few days since
II. T. Lee Of this dity, having some business
to transact up at Oroville, got into a light
two-horse vehicle and proceeded thither. AT
ter making collection of some money which
was due him there, he started back to Placer
vile. On the 5th inst, while driving leis-
urely along on the road between Nevada and
the Oregon House, on the north side of the
north Yuba, shabby looking Spaniard
pounced out from the chapparal and stopped
the team, at the same time demanding the
drivers money. To this unreasonable re-
quest Mr.. Lee replied by jumping out and be-
laboring the scamp most vigorously with his
horsewhip. In the meat time the Spaniard
drew a bowie knife, which he brandished
savagely, but Lee kept up such an incessant
thrashing that the fellow was driven from the
road. Lee then turned with the intention of
jumping into the wagon, but the moment he
did so his assalant came again to the charge,
and would doubtless have murdered Lee out
right, but, fortunately, he aimed blow at
the villain with the butt of the whip. which
hit his hand and sent the knife flying through
the air. The Spaniard again beat retreat,
with Lee hard at his heels. AS i'll luck would
have it, Lee tripped his toe upon a brush and
fell, and before he could recover the Spariard
turned upon him, ierked him over on his
back, and then jumped upon his breast with
both feet with such force as nearly to crush
in his ribs. At this critical juncture white
man came rushing to the aid of the Spaniard
and in jitfy the two scoundrels succeeded in
rifiing Lees pockets of 81 10 after which they
both took to their heels and disappeared in
the bushes When Lee got to his feet again,
he found himself so badly crushed that it was
with difficulty that he succeeded in getting
into the wagon. He vomited good deal of
blood at the time, and is now barely able to
walk about. Sick as he was however, he
succeeeed in hunting up the Spaniard's knife,
which he will probably retain as remem-
brancer of his terrible struggle. Mr.. Dee is
an honest, worthy citizen, who has wife and
children to support by hard labor, and we are
sincerely sorry for his misfortune.-Ptacer

ish for what 1t is worth;
MARysvrLLE, April l4th, 1859.
To THE EDITOR OF THE DEMOCRAT In this
mornings issue, you commented very hard
on the person that was arrested for the crime
of arson. If you knew the whole crcum-
stances connected with the case in question,
you would perhaps have some compassion on
the person who now has got to pay the pen
alty for his offense The facts are these
associated with certain Engine Company in
this city lin that Company there were large
number of those who were very fond of sett
ing fire to empty houses for the purpose of
having fire; l was frequently pressed to
take hand in it; under the influence of H.
quor. tried ito what effect is already
known. In that Company there are many
worse men than am,-members of the Com
pany who have played larger part in the
game than have; men who encouraged me
on to do what l have done, for was not a
member of the Company. and if was arres.
ted they did not countenance me in any way
whatever, but they were ve:y thankful for
my services before this affair happened, but
now they do not know me when / am in
trouble. Therefore, think l an justified in
exposing them. If 1 had kept away from
them 1 should never have done what have
done. All ask is for the public to wait and
see which is the most to blame. me, or those
who got me into the scrape.
