estimates that the number of persons killed by ac-
cident in the mines of California amount to four
hundred, or more than day during the year,
and the number of those injured at some five or six
hundred. The number of violent deaths in that
time, exclusive of those caused by mining acci-
dents, has not been far from three hundred in ad-
dition to some three hundred or more Indians who
have been killed. The destruction of human life
by accident and violence, in some mining districts,
exceeds the total by all natural causes. On New
Years day morning, the settlers of Round Valley
killed forty Indians, for stealing stock and killing
their hogs. On Jan. 5th, Maj. f. johnson, with
about 30 men, arrived at Eden Valley. On his

A CALIFORNIA MIsER.-The San Francisco Bull.
letin of the 18th u, gives account of the manner
in which an execution levied upon the effects of
a person named A. ]. King. The Bulletin says:
King is we'll known to the citizens Of New Orleans
well as to those of San Francisco. He was at one
time merchant in the former city, where he failed
some years ago, and then came to California with the
net oceeds Of the operation which are said to have
been very large.
At the time of Kings residence in New Orleans, in
ls49 80 and 81 he was the proprietor of large re-
tail dry goods and ladies' fancy store called "King's
Marble Palace" He was an extensive advertiser in
the papers, and hired numbers of boys carry large
pacards in procession through the Streets and leased
broadsdes OF houses to pain his notices upon He
must have done an immense business in his line but
10 '53 he suddenly failed" and left Unexpectedly
for California, leaving large creditors to whistle for
their money, and curse their own stupidity in trust
ing him. Among other debts, he left large number
of notes. which he has by various shifts avoided pay
ing, but many of them nave been sent out here for
collection. As it was, however, supposed that
nothing could be made out of the man. none was ever
prosecuted to Judgment except one, on which judg.
ment rendered in one of our courts some months
ago-and was the execution in this case-that was
leviedby the Deputy Sheriff day.
King occupied room in the third story Of Bolton
Barron's building, in Merchant street, which be
deemed ire.proof, thief.proof and execution-proof
But he was mistaken as to the execution part Of the
proof, as the event showed, for having today un
warily left his door open, the officer watching bis
opportunity, suddenly rushed in As he did so, King
seized pistol, and presented it at the officer bn
fearful Of his own temerity, Immediately cried out
it's not loaded it's not loaded" He then tried tt
stuff watches and jewelry, which were lying promis

Upon looking around, there were actually found
lying about, 100000 in bags of gold coin, watches

an Austrian Captain, made prisoner at Magenta. He
told me that he had had with him three hundred

soldiers of the division La Motterouge until all his
men were either killed or wounded, except young
sub-Lieutenant and private. Seeing himself thus
left nearly alone he descended into the street. in the
hope of being killed. But although the balls whistled
about him in every direction, he remained un-
touched. He again entered house, and continued
to fight on until be and the two others were at last
made prisoners. He was taken before General
officer, whose name he does not know, but who said
to him and the other officer, (" You have conducted
yourselves so bravery as to merit to keep your
swords and, therefore, return them to you" And,
in fact, the Captain wore his sword in the railway
carriage. This officer spoke French exceedingly
well, and assured me that there was not single
