by four highwaymen, on Tuesday morning OF
last week, to rob the Forest Hill and Auburn
stage Of Wells, Fargo 81 Co.'S. treasure box,
which resulted in the killing Of two Of the rob
bers. The plan Of the robbers became known
to d. @. Gay, Sacramento policeman, who
proceeded to Forest Hill and acquainted the
agent Of Wells, Fargo d Co. Of the fact, aud a
number Of parties took passage in the stage for
tho purpose Of giving the villains proper re-
coption. The passengers and treasure box were
left at Todds Valley, and the stage proceeded
on towards Auburn, the only persons aboard
being the officers and driver. About daylight
the coach while ascending hill, was stopped
by four men, who stepped out from behind the
trees, and demanded the treasure box. The Of
fcers Immediately jumped out of the stage and
fred upon them, killing one instantly, and
woundng another so badly that he died in q

RETURN OF THE ABDuoTED.--The girl Louisa
Paullin, who left San Francisco some time since,
on the steamer Uhcle Sam, In company with
Geo. Servey, was brought back on the Golden
Gate, having been transferred at Acapulco. II
appears that after tho Uncle Sam got out to
sea the passengers became aware of the facts
connected with the girls escape and there was
some talk on board of lynOhlng Servey, but the
officers prevented it, On the arrival of the
steamer at Acapulco Louisa was placed in
charge of lady at that place who was waiting

OLD BROWN or OssAwATTANIE.-John Brown,
the leader of the late instruction at Harper's
Ferry, was formerly quite n notorious charac-
ter in Kansas, whore he was familiarly known
as "Old Brown, of Ossawattame." Some years
ago, in difficulty between the free State and
pro-slavery parties, son of Brown, youth of
fifteen years. was most inhumanly murdered by
the latter party, as he was sent to them with q
flag Of truce. Brown has since been regarded
as monomaniac, and made 1t his business to
avenge the death of his son. He exhibited con-
siderable tact as the leader Of guerrilla band
and about year ago made an ucurson into
Missouri, stole dozen or more slaves, whom
he conducted safely into Canada. He subse-
quently disappeared from public view, and
nothing was known of his whereabouts until he
turned up as the head and front of the nsur-
reotion at Harper's Ferry, and it appears that
the most Of the white men engaged in this latter
affair were formerly his followers in Kansas.
The papers found in his possession, indicated an
intention to revolutionize the government, and
the plot was about what might be expected to
have originated in the brain of an insane man.

BOXING A DIPLoMAT.-Mr. Ward, the Ameri-
can Minister to China, made an attempt, not
long since, to go to Pekin, the capital Of the
Chinese Empire. No information has been re-
ceived from him az to how he succeeded, but O
late Paris paper states that he actually went to
Pekin, and gives the annexed account OF the
trip;
"The members Of The legation, under the gui-
dance of Mandarin, were placed in large
box, which was closed everywhere but above so
as to prevent those it contained from seeing
the country. This box, or travelling chamber,
provided with all things necessary to the COM
fort Of the travellers, was placed on raft and
taken up tho river, and then up the imperial
canal as far as the gate of the capital. There
il was placed on large truck drawn by oxen,
and in this way the Minister Of tho United
States and the members of this legation entered
Pekin. They were perfectly well treated by
the Chinese, but were not allowed to see any
thing. The truck was drawn into court yard
Of large house which was TO be the residence
Of the American ENJOYS, but from which they
were not to be allowed 10 60 out. They were
not allowed to have any communication with
the outer world, but were permitted to send a
dispatch to Mr.. Fish, the American Consul at
Shanghai, informing him Of their safety. After
the Interview, the American Minister was to be
reconducted to the frontier in the same way
which he came"

A New TowN.--A town has been laid out,
called Lincoln, at Auburn Ravine, the present
terminus of the Sacramento Valley Railroad,
and the lots are to be sold at auction in Sasra-
mento, on the Esd inst. The road is expected
to be completed to that place during the winter,
and it will without doubt become a place OF
considerable Importance. For time at least,
and until the road is extended in the direction
Of Auburn and Nevada, it will be the depot for
much Of the supplies Intended for Nevada and
Placer counties.

Insurrection at Harper's Ferry, Virginia.
The overland mafl which left st. Louis on the
morning Of October 10th. brought intelligence
OF an insurrection which broke out at Harper's
Ferry, Va, on the. 10th, and was finally sup
pressed on the 18th. The accounts received
overland were 20 disconnected, that many at
first believed the story to be hoax, bat the
New York papcrsof 0ct,Aoth, received by the
steamer, contain full details Of the affair. The
ii6surrectIon was headed by John Brown, whose
name was quite familiar ayear or two ago as a
leader Of border skfrmfshes in Kansas, and who
seems to have transferred bis iabors from Kan
sas to Virginia. Having rented a farm SONG

twenty whites, and considerable number of
negroes Brown took possession of the u. .. Ar
senal, on Sunday night, Oct. 1sth, seized ell the
arms and ammunition, and for two days the
whole town was at bis mercy. The intelligence
OF the affair becoming known, created a tre-
mendous excitement throughout virginia and
Maryland. The militia were called out by Gov.
Wise, and party Of marines were sent by the
President to quell the insurrection. After some
skirmishing, the insurgents were driven into
the Arsenal, where they we're besioged, and af-
ter desperate defense, in which all but two or
three OF the party were either killed or NOR
tally wounded, the Arsenal was taken. Brown
was desperately wounded and taken prisoner.
Some eight or ten Of the troops werO killed by
the rioters A man named Cook, the second in
command under Brown, had escaped into the
mountains, and two others left on the morning
of the 18th, guiding party of fugitive slaves
through Maryland. These were sharply pur-
sued and fred on, but were still at large at our
latest advices. The prisoners had been COM

Mr.. Joseph Clark, one Of the stockholders in
the Ophir Mining Company, who has recently
returned from Washoe, gives US some items 10
regard to the celebrated silver mine, known ai
the Comstock Ledge. II appears that this Is
the only mine in which silver ore in large
quantities has been found, and as yet only two
companies-the Ophir and the Central have
fairly prospected their claims. These compa-
nTes run cut into the ledge, at The point where
their claims adjoin, and then sunk an incline
to depth of about forty feet, from the bottom
OF which levels we're run by each company, 70
opposite directions, along the ledge. Besides
taking out immense quantities'of quartz rock
containing more or less gold, the two compa-
nies have each shipped 10 San Francisco some
twenty-five or thirty tons or silver ore. The
quartz ledge is very thick, averaging ten or fif
teen feet, and the vein Of silver ore, which Ia
enclosed in the quartz, will perhaps average
about four inches in thickness. The vein, how
ever, is irregular, and ct times they find the
silver ore in punches Of half ton or more in q
place.
stantly running, crushing the quartz, which
pays from one to two hundred dollars q, ton.
Only the best decomposed rock, however, 4
crushed, as II will not pay to crush ordinary
quartz by this slow process The arastras are
run by mule power, and are kept in operation
day and night The Central company are now
engaged in erecting q stamping mill, which
will be put in operation this winter. In taking
out the silver ore it became necessary to quarry
out large quantities Of quartz, all Of which 1t is
believed will pay for crushing as soon as mills
are erected in the vicinity. The Ophir COM
pany is composed mostly Of miners who we're
formerly residents of Nevada and Grass Valley,
and we believe portion Of the stock in the
Central company is also owned by men from
this county.
The quartz ledge in which this vein of silver
ore is found, has been traced and taken up for
several miles. It's direction is nearly north and
south, and as far as prospected, it dips to the
westward at an angle Of sixty or seventy de-
grees. Several companies are now engaged in
running tunnels for the purpose of intersecting
the ledge in other places, but as yet the vein
of silver ore has been traced only about three
hundred feet.
Silver ore, nearly If not quite as rich as that
taken from the Comstock vein, has been found
in a number Of other quartz ledges, but only in
small quantities From what information we
have obtained from O number Of returned ad-
venturers, we judge that the prospects Of nine
tenths Of those who have gone to the Washoe
country are not very Aattering at present.

ANOTHER RICH SILVER DIsoovERY.-A cor
pondent writing from Genoa, to the Placervile OBJ
server under date Of Nov. Sth is credbly informed
that party of Californians from Amador county
have recently discovered rich silver mine among
the hills fifteen miles southeast of Genoa. Upon
the announcement Of the discovery at Genoa, every
body that could procure horse left for the place
many also started on foot, and the country for ten
miles around has been staked off into claims. The
writer thinks that the mineral wealth Of that
try surpasses that of California, and that early in
the spring population will assemble in Western
Utah, sufficient in numbers to entitle them to a
Government separate from Utah. A vein of quartz
supposed to be rich in both gold and silver has also
been discovered within two miles Of Genoa. 1t has
not yet been tested but samples have been sent to
San Francisco for assay.
