ATTEMPT TO MURDER AND RoB.--A cor
respondent of the San Andreas Independent
writing from Murphy's, under date Of No
vember 20th, says:
Last night about twelve o'clock, as Mar
celn Roux, French gardener, was going
home, he was shot at while passing from the
garden gate to the house, by some person
or persons unknown. There were two shots
fired, both striking him in the right side,
lodging in book which he had in his pock-
ct. When the shots were fired, Mr.. Roux
called to his partner, and some one made
tracks for the hills. Mr.. r. alarmed the
neighborhood, and after examining the pre-
misses found that his dog had been poisoned,
his house broken open, and a carpet-bag
and watch taken.

were standing near the shaft and consult

thought they heard noise. One of them
finally descended aud found Moore in a
scarcely breathing condition. The Enter
prise says he had received severe contu-
sion on the head, but the skull had not been
fractured. He was unconscious most Of the
time while in the shaft, but is now doing

Tilton fell into shaft, on Monday follow

About week previously two men fell into

THE HUDSON BAY COMPANY once
powerful corporation is thus spoken of by
correspondent of the Alta, under date of
November 10th:
Last week there was sold about seventy
acres of land. chiefly in lots belonging to
tae Hudson Bay Company, and situated
about mile from Victoria harbor, the
amount realized being twenty seven thons-
and dollars. The prices obtained exceeded
the expectations of the most sanguine. aud
serve to show the confidence people have in
the future of this place. The Hudson Bay
Company seem TO be gradually retiring
from the scene. The fort is deserted aud
will be sold-probably next spring. The
flag (H b. C.l no longer floats above the
pickets, and was last seen "hali-mast' high,
and generally believed to be on account of
the death of Sir George Simpson, Governor
of Rupert Land, but others suppose it to
denote the decease of the company here.
AT all events but little is heard of the COM
pany now, save an occasional growl in the
newspapers, which cannot allow themselves
to be done out of such good "stock in
trade"

Obstacles to DisuniOn.

A writer in the Mobile (Alabama) adver-
tiser says:
Let us test the working of their project
in Alabama. Say Lincoln is electcd-is in
augurated, and instantly all Federal Off.
GERS in Alabama resign. None dare accept.
and the Offices remain vacant. This NAV
seem very spirited and patriotic, but ask
cm bono, what's the good to result from it?
Let us see. There are four kinds of Fede.
raj office-holders in Alabama, to-wit:
The officers of the Federal Courts. land
officers, Postmasters, and Collectors of Gus
toms. The Judges of the Supreme Court
hold Office for life, and therefore do not
hold Office under any administration. Sun.
pose that there be no Marshals or District
Attorneys in the Federal Courts. Suppose
even that the Courts be shut up, what good
will that accomplish? What would Lin.
coin care If the Courts were closed ?? How
would it interfere with his administration
Next come the land officers. Suppose the
land offices were closed, who would be in.
Jured or annoyed by it, Lincoln or our own
people? The Government derives paltry
pttance from the sale of its bit an acre
land, which it can spare without inconve-
nlence. Ii the Offices were closed, cur own
people who want the land could not get it.
Next the Postmasters. Suppose the mails
are stopped, who will be injured, Lincoln
or our people The mails are given to us
as boon at an expense to the Government,
and are an indispensable necessity to us.
What would Lincoln care if we stole the
mails? Not fig And last of all the Gus
tom House officers. From the receipts of
our Custom House, Government derives
about million of dollars per annum. This
is the only department of the Federal Gov
ernment. the obstruction of which would
inJure or annoy the administration. But
we have no means of obstructing the col
lection of customs. Suppose none of our
people dare accept Custom House Offices.
then Lincoln will find Northern men who
will accept them. Suppose they dare not
land upon our soil, then they can remain
on ship board, and collect customs on board
revenue cutter. And, if need be, Con-
gress can abolish Mobile as port of entry.
What good would that do the business and
commerce of Mobile?
think that have demonstrated the fol.
ly and futility Of the project proposed by
the party who would by terror or violence
or public odium, prevent persons from
holding office under Lincoln. They would
deprive us Of the mails, an indispensable
necessity; they would close the land Offices
and the courts, which would be a matter OF
Indifference to the Administration; and the
attempt to prevent the collection Of Gus
toms would be ridiculous failure. Away
then, with such trihing Let us take a
more manly course. If Lincoln should be
elected Convention of the people of Ala
bama is already provided for by law. That
Convention must determine whether the
election of Mr.. Lincoln justifes withdrawal
from the Union. If so very well. Let us
pack up aud go. If, however, the people
in Convention, determine that it does not
justify disunion, and they prefer to remain
in the Union, then let the legitimate opera
tions of the Government go on as before
