W,thdrn,rnI OF s. A. hooker.

A dispatch was received 10 Nevada on Mon
day morning, stating that Gen. Booker had
withdrawn as candidate for Congress. Had
be remained in the field there is no doubt that
either Scott or Burch would have been elected,
for large numbers of the people had deter
mined. under any circumstances, to vote for
COL Baker. To preventive election Of such
apologies for Congressmen was the reason
which induced Gen. Booker to withdraw bic
name rs q candidate. TIE following Is his
card Of withdrawal:
To the People Of the State of California. .s
The nomination for Congressman conferred
upon me by the Anti-Lec0mptOn Democracy
in Convention was, as is well known, entirely
unexpected. In expressing my gratitude for
the honor bestowed, also desire TO express my
satisfaction that an opportunity occurs for re-
leasing myself from any charge which might be
brought against me Of effecting the defeat OF
the principles represent. Having been q
stranger since my bOyhoOd to all the political
principles save those that are Democratic, being
Fixed in my determination to oppose by all hon
orable means the advancement aud elevation Of
men to power who in the name Of party organ
ization are working the overthrow of the prn-
ciples of true Democracy, and being unwilling
TO be held responsible for a success of apostates
from the Democratic faith, I do not hesitate
cheerfully to retire, as a candidate. from the
contest. In politics only recognize what is
known rs the Ant-Lecompton party as the legal
and legitimate representative Of the Democracy
Of California. and as principle in the political as
we'll as in the social world is equally dear to me,
hope that my friends will appreciate the integ-
rity of my motive in returning my nomination
to the people, that they may take such action
as shall in their opinion most conduce to The
public welfare. SAN'L A. Booker.

False Reperts.

Voters should be on their guard o-day in re-
lation TO false reports that may be circulated
over the county. Reports started on the day
of election, prejudcial to any of the candidates
may be SET down as contemplate roorbacks,
and no attention whatever should be paid to
them. The Lecompton opponents of Democ-
racy ore becoming desperate at the prospect of
losing the loaves and fishes of Office, and from
the manner in which they have thus far con-
Quoted the campaign, we arc under the neces-
sity of cautioning voters to look out for their
tricks at the polls.
A two-legged animal was travelling through
Washington and Eureka townships, yesterday
and the day before, circulating report that
Geo. s. Hupp had withdrawn as candidate for
District Attorney. There is not the least foun-
dation for such report, but the fact that it has
been extensively reported, should serve to put
our friends on their guard.

MURDER AND RoBBERY.-The Northern Cal
ifoyYsias, published at Union, Humboldt county, in
its issue Of August 24th has the following account
of a dastardly murder in that section:
Mr.. Richard Cave, gentleman well known in
Klamath and Siskiyou counties, murdered a
few days since on the mountain between Sawyer's
Bar and Scott Valley. He left Sawyers Bar-where
he had been to visit two of his sons, Alfred and
Ricnard Band started to return to Shasta Valley.
Not appearing as soon expected, another son,
living at the latter place, went in search of him, and
upon arriving at Sawyer's Bar, found he had been
gone twelve days. The brothers Immediately insti-
tuted search and found that he had been brutally
murdered by being shot through the body and stab
bed twice. besides other wounds. The object of the
murder was undoubtedly robbery, one of his pock
ets containing about $3.50 was cut out and taken
away. Twenty-seven dollars in another pocket was
left undisturbed as also a silver watch. He had no
saddlebags package to indicate any considerable
amount Of money. His riding mule was found shot,
near by.
Mr.. Cave was about sixty years old; was born in
Kentucky but lived for twentythree years previous
to coming to this State, in Iowa. He first came to
California in 1850, and since 1858, with his sons,
has lived in this section of the State, where he has
been much respected. He ON the eve of start
ing for Iowa. with the intention of returning next
spring. with his family. This will be painful intel
gence to reach his friends in the East, at about the
time they were preparing welcome home, for the
long absent husband and father.

Kent's slandcrers Refuted.

We have just received, as we are going 10
press, letter from VIM. NJ. Stewart, of Down
ievile, in which he states that he acted as at
torrey for Riley in the suit against Kent, and
that there was no evidence of any knowledge
or Intention upon the part of Kent 10 appropri
ate Rileys cattle. Mr.. Stewart further states
the most the evidence showed. was mistake
and that he neither did then nor does now be-
lievc that Kent was guilty of any thing i'm
proper in the matter. The letter can be seen
at our office.
In conversation in Culver's Saloon, at San
Juan, on Monday evening, Judge Searls stated
TO number Of persons present, that he was ac-
quainted With all the circumstances in regard
to the lawsuit between Riley and Kent, and
that the charge recently irumped up against
the latter was false from beginning to end. He
stated also, that he was not political friend Of
Kent, but that he did not wish to have him de-
feated by the circulation of such infamous false
hoods. Judge Searls and Mr.. Stewart we're
practicing law in partnership when the lawsuit
was pending, and we believe the former acted
as attorney for the plaintiffs when the case was
tried before the Justice.

LATHAM AT NAPA.-A correspondent of the
San Francisco News, giving an account of La
tham's speech at Napa, says:
Latham then arose and expressed his candid
opinion that he thought himself in rather hard
crowd, aud that be had great odds against him.
That was exact, for this town is about four to
one against the Lecomptontes. He then pro,
cecded with his speech-undisturbe by cheers
from his admiring ~ crowd, excepting when he
related some joke. The whole meeting was
conducted in an orderly manner. 1t consisted
of about lao persons-100 of whom were Anti.
Lecompton men. "Nary" gun was ired-no
grand reception awaited him. He no doubt
went away sadly disappointed.
AS the crowd was dispensing, three cheers
were proposed for Henry Edgarton the Anti
Lecompton candidate for Senator from Napa,
Solano and Yolo counties which were given
in manner to satisfy every one that he would
carry the county by very handsome majority.
may add that this county is all right, and the
Anti Lecompton party will have majority of
about one hundred and sevcnty.fise.
The Nevada Democrat., 1859-09-07

A New IDEA.-Mr. Gosling, as the boys on
the Ridge familiarly and appropriately term
the Lecompton candidate for District Attorney,
has astonished several audiences, by stating
that the Paraguay expedition, with swelling
sails, rounded Cape Horn, for the protection of
our interests" This mistake, however, is only
q trifing one; the Horn went around the expe-
dition, as any one can see by reading BOwlin's
narrative. We wish to state, however, that Mr..
Maslin's geographical knowledge is but a tithe
of bis general aquirements. Wait till he is ell
ected, and we shall see that his exploits with a
Horn will knock the socks off any number Of
expeditions. 1 r,.

PAINFUL RUMOR.-It is rumored at Oroville
that Mr.. Hamway, of that place, and Mr.. Dan
Sylvester, of Marysvillc, were murdered while
on their way to the WashOe Diggings, at point
between Downieville aud Sierra Valley. The
report was brought to Oroville by Mr.. Rog-
ers. 1t is said that both men were found dead
by the roadside, aud that sylvester's body was
recognized. The other body being much mu.
tilated, could not be identified, but is supposed
to be that of Hanway, who left for the Washoe
Diggings in company with Sylvester

Colonel Baker.

Upon the Ant-LecomptOn Democratic ticket
for this county, will be found as q candidate
for Congress, the name Of this gifted gentleman.
The withdrawal of Gen. Booker, and the swell
ing sentiment of the masses, has induced this
change. OF Col. Baker the people Of this coun-
ty have long entertained and openly expressed
their opinion, and no eulogium we can pro-
noupce will increase their respect for him as a
man, or heighten their admiration of his genius
as an orator and a statesman. The ability with
which, in 1855, he combated the Know Nothing
party, then in the zenith of its power, will be
long remembered, and bis manly sentiments
and clarion tones then reused the Responding
Democracy to new efforts and inal triumph.
The recent efforts with which he has swept the
hearts aud convinced the judgments of all his
auditors, are alike creditable to the speaker
and an honor to the State. In genius, in states
manship, in all those qualities which Calfor-
nian interests demand of her Representative at
Washiogton, he stands above competition, and
with bis rivals above comparison. And we
doubt not that this days votes will select for
new tolls at the Federal Capital the adopted
citizen of the nation, the soldier Of the Mexican
war, the orator Of the Pacific coast, the nomi-
nee Of the people, Col. E. d. BAKER.

PoLITIcAL MEETING AT SAN JUAN.-Col. E.
D. Baker addressed the citizens of North San
Juan last Wednesday evening. From the Press
we learn that it was the largest political assem-
blage held in that place this year; persons came
all the way from Woosey's Flat to hear the
distinguished orator. He was listened to with
almost breathless attention, and warmly ap-
plauded throughout the delivery and at the
close of his speech. After Col. Baker had clos
ed, resolu tion was read by the Secretary,
pledging the opposition to the Administration
The resolution was unanimously adopted, and
fro m appearances gave general satisfaction.
