Arrival of the Uncle Sam .-- End of the

--Escape of Gomez from MaZatlan,--

&c.
SAN FRANcIsoo, May 7.-7. P. NJ.
The Opposition Steamer Uncle Sam, ar
rived at o'clock A. NJ. o.day.
She brought $50 passengers. Her date:
have been anticipated by the Overland
Mail.
The Atlas correspondence of the South
says that the Colorado expedition. was ended
April odd that 50O.Tndans came into camp
and delivered themselves up, and six chiefs
volunteered themselves as hostages
Nine limos who are implicated in the mas
sacre of emigrants have been taken and will
be sent to Fort Yuma
From Mazatlan, the news is that Perez
Gomez, made his escape from that place,
all the officers of the Government party on
board the English war steamer in that har-
Dor.
The Juarcz party attacked Mazatlan on
April 4th, and overthrow Mramons party
and took it.
1t is expected that DR.. Bell, of New York,
will accept the pastorship of the Unitarian
Church in this city.
1t is said that John White, Mortimer J.
Smith and H E. leighton are to be the edi-
tors of the new Anti.Lecompton paper COM
ing out next week.
On Palm Sunday. April Z, a serious riot
took place at Panama, between negroes and
whites, growing out of a renewal of a quarrel
between a spaniard and negro The Gov
ernor called out the soldiers who fired blank
eatrages. The rioters returned the fire ana
killed the Captain of the military.
The U. S. Consul summoned 500 Marines
from American men of war, in the harbor.
1t was afterwards found unnecessary to
land them.
The citizens met at the hall of the Cover
nor to take into consideration means of pre-
serving their property and lives. Nothing
was done, however
The steamer Senator arrived at half past
two p. NJ, with Gen. Clarke and staff and SO
passengers.
One hundred guns are now being fred in
honor of Mr. Phelan's billiard victory at De-
troit, and any quantity Of whiskey is being
taken in honor Of the same.

AMERICAN CoRWUPTGoN-The London Times
in reviewing the developments of the late
Sherman Investigating Committee in Con-
gress, says that in England, it would be ut
terly impossible to find any such corruptions
of system as have thus been exposed IL
America. Political influence in the opinion
of the Times, is allowed in the United States
to overbaance all other qualifications for the
public service. The Philadelphia Press, after
quoting the language of the Times, remarks
as fo' lows;
1t will thus be seen that the corruptions Of
the Federal Government, exposed 10y the late
report, are not only injurious to the cause of
liberty in this country, but that they have
also furnished arguments to the enemies OF
political reform in England which are indus
triously used to prevent the extension of po-
litical privileges to the down-trodden people
of that county. Mr.. Buchanan may lay the
fiattering JUNCTION to his soul that not only
has he been the most efficient en9my of De
mocracy in the United States that ever lived
but that he has inflicted deeper injnry upon
the popular cause in England than any cham
pion of aristocratic sentiments in that coun-
try.

INDIANS IN SOUTH EASTERN CALIFORNIA
The Atlas Colorado correspondent W rites as
follows concerning the Indian tribes, passed
by Col Hofmans command on its way to the
valley of the Mojaves:
The different tribes of Indians we have
passed through, have been the Cocopas, be.
low Fort una, Cochuna or Yuma, the Chi
meheuevas and the Moiaves; although in the
mountains around us may be found the Ca
huillas, Pi-Utes Apaehestontos and Yabi
peys. The Cecopas. Yumas and Mojaves as
a body. are the finest looking Indians have
ever seen, either within the boundaries of the
United States, Mexico or in the islands ot
the Pacific; well developed muscular limbs
excepting their arms, which from the absence
of much Labor are delicate rounded forms
fat and sleek, their appearance excites ad
nhration. Most of the males are without
any article of clothing except breech cloth
though few can boast of cast off soldiers
coats and worn out slddle blankets The
females wear a short frOck reaching from
their waists to their knees, which is made
from the bark of the willow and cottonwood
and sometimes artiicially colored, the re-
naming part of their forms being arrayed rs
nature intended they should be, and volup
tuously So Some of the females wear II
cloak made of ribhit skins, a few Of which
should purchase vera it not for the vermir
they contain, whilst others can boast of a
piece of calico or cotton cloth. Both male
and female are tatooed about the mouth
while some of the chiefs have three circles
taooed on their Shoulders and breast, which
are CONNECTED by straight lines

Cons PRoTEcTIoN OF YOUNG DEER-An old
Canadian hunter declares that the reason why
the wild deer were not all killed when young
(as they breed once year, and are always
surrounded by other animals which prey up
on them. as dogs, wolves, bears, panthers,
ete.) is, that mo dog or other animal can
smell the track of doc or fawn, while the
latter is too young to take care of itself, He
stated that he had often seen it demonstrated.
lie had taken his dogs over the ground where
he had just before seen them pass, and they
would take no notice of the track, and could
not be induced to follow when taken to the
spot, while they would instantly discover the
track Of any deer not having young ones.
This is but one proof of the adaptation of the
natural laws to preserve life when it most
needs protection.

BURGLARS BEWARE "A Yankee has ex-

tion of burglars:
In length it does not exceed an inch and a
half; in width. it is scarcely threefourths OF
an inch and in thickness not quite half an
inth 1t is to be carried in the vest pocket,
and is principally made of brass, highly pol
shed. In the little compass which we have
described is an ingenious gun lock for per-
cussion caps, pistol barrel, and a screw or
clamp for attaching the machine to such OBJ.
iects as the user of it may think proper. 1t
is called "Wilson's Patent Burglar Detecting
Gun, or Self protecting Firearms and is op
Grated as follows: A traveller or lodgcr in a
hotel or other place where burglars may be
feared, takes from his pocket, on retiring for
the night, this little machine. and, 10y means
of the gmblet pointed screw belonging to it,
attaches it to the eases of the door of his
chamher-the "gun," of course, being already
loaded and capped.
As it remains, the muzzle of the gun points
directly towards the crack made by the door
when It opens; and the door itself when
pushed back from the easing two or three
inches will strike against a trigger, which
causes an inevitable explosion of the load in
the gun barrel. sending the ball straight into
the face or body ofthe intruder. If one is
not hloody.minded, the barrel may only be
charged with power; or even IA cap will be
sufficient to frighten off the most hardy burg
lar who, not expecting any such welcome
would be terribly frightened by the snap
ping of a cap in his face as he opened the
door, and doubtless use his legs to the best o
his ability in making off

discharged lisol into his own body, infet-

probable.
