a dispatch from San Francisco dated Wed
nesdoy says.
The Supervisors this afternoon passed the
resolutions directing the City Attorney to
commence an injunction suit to restrain Mr.
Biedeman from selling his tract of land. The
Board declare that they do not intend to
molest the small actual settlers and are only
acting to protect the citys interest This ac
tion has nevertheless caused great excitement
and dissatisfaction among the settlers, who
naturally feel that claiming under the same
title with Biedman, they or he must stand or
fall together. An effort will be made on the
part of the city to make up an agreed case,
and obtain an early decision from the Su.
preme Court but Biedeman's friends declare
that he will hardly consent, preferring to sue
the city for any damages he may sustain
There are probably ten thousand people di-
rectly interested in the land outside of Lar
kin street, who will resist the settling up of
any claim on the part of the city.

LATE FROM MoNoyuLE.-A correspondent
OF the Union writing from Monoville, Sept
24th, thus speaks of the new silver mines in
that vicinity:
l arrived at this place yesterday, on my
way to the new found silver mines. some
twenty five or thirty miles to the northeast.
There seems to be no doubt but some very
rich silver ore has been found at that point,
as the following assays fully establish. These
assays were made by the State assayer, Benz.
B. Thayer, and being certified by him, are of
course authentic. Rock from Silver Hill
Ledge, one ton Of two thousand pounds con-
alns, 1904 60 silver, $S92 80 gold Real
Del Monte, 1896 90 silver, $77l 10 gold
Antelope, 1918 65 silver, S9l 60 gold; Es
meralda, the main lead, 1864 45 silver, 500 A
gold. There are many other lodges that it i:
thought will prove equally rich with the
above How extensive these ledges are | am
unable to say, but as l will be on the ground
before night, | will send you a letter from
the mines by the first opportunity. There is
a great rush for the new district, and every
thing looking like quartz for ten miles around

A SAMPLE OF WALKERS ARMY-A DEsPERA-
DO KHLED-Col Henry, who recently died
at Truxillo, from wound received ina per-
sonal difficulty with one of Walkers men, is
the same person who was so well known for
his combatativeness. He was man of re-
markable courage, but of a violent and tur-
buIent temper, and was frequently involved
in personal broils and duels Perhaps no
man ever lived to his age who had received
and survived so many dangerous wounds. In
every battle and nearly every duel in which
he was engaged, he was wounded. He be-
gan his career in the ranks Of the American
army in Mexico, and by his daring and his
dangerous wounds, attracted the attention of
his commander, and was selected as one of
the privates who were were promoted during
the war, to u commission. AT the battle of
Chopultepec, Henry was one Of the first of
the storming party to scale the walls of the
enemy, and, though dreadfully wounded,
never halted until he was within the fort.
After the war was over, Henry, a commis>
stoned officer. became involved in some broil
which resulted in his retirement from his
position. lie then went to Nicaragua joined
Walker, and was prominent in all the com
oats fought in that country, and invariably
received wounds in every action As if the
terrible and uninterrupted conflicts of Wal
ker were not enough to satisfy his combative
spirit llemy occupied his leisure moments in
personal combats with some of his own com
Panions in arms, and was frequently wound
ee. In one of his duels in Nicaragua his
thigh was broken, which lamed him for life.
Returning to New Orleans, after the ex-
pRlson of Walker, he became involved in q
Orol with one of his companions, and was
badly wounded by him in a duel fought in
the rear of the city. Not long after, he had
another difficulty with gentleman of New
Orleans, by whom also he was severely
wounded. These are by no means all the
oombats in which this remarkable man has
engaged. There were those who had favor
ableopinion of Col. Henry, and who gave
him credit for some good qualities. He was
undoubtedly a man of astonishing fortitude,

From GUAYMAs.-A correspondent of the
Alta writing from Guaymas August 2Sth
says;
Some three weeks ago, Mr.. Lathrop for
merly editor of the Buffalo Commercial Ad-
vertser but now Superintendent of Colts
silver mine near Tabac, visited the city for
the purpose Of completing arrangements for
opening stage rout between this and Tue
son, consummation devovtly to be hoped
for.
There are rumors of rich gold mines hav-
ing been discovered in the vicinity OF the line
but nothing certain is yet known concerning
them.

LIE FUTURE OF THE ITALIAN QUESTION, lie
Nord says:
The Italian question daily tends more and
more to become the pivot of the situation it
is more serious than is generally supposed, d
it would be strangely to deceive oneself to
imagine that it is limited to the dynastic
affairs of Naples, and even to the eyentuali-
ties of an attack by Garibaldi on Venetia.
The Italian movement symbolzes in some
sort the secret struggle that is going on be-
tween the past and the future, between the
old policy, which will not yield its place, and
policy more in accordance with the ideas
aud necessities of our epoch. Must one be
astonished after that, if on the solution that
movement shall receive certain alliances, and
consequently peace or war depend? 1t may
be said, then, without exaggeration, that the
Gordian knot of the situation is there. In d
month we shall know if that knot is to bC
united or cut.

PARIS, August let, 1860.
SIR R:-Nothing could better console and
strengthen me inmy heavy undertaking than
the remembrance Of me by my worthy and
industrious countrymen in far off San Fran~
cisco. They, like myself, consecrate the
sweat of their brow to make amends to
others rather than to themselves, for the dis
graces and faithlessness of fortune, which
discourage the timid and strengthen the
brave.
Be you, l entreat my public interpreter
among them. Tell them that their obolus
offered TO the work Of my life will fall from
their hearts into my hand, and from my hand
into the hard working hands of those to
whom | owe the bread and salt of their
humble homes l have already accomplished
the half of my task. [ hope that God will
not remove me from my work until it be
completed 1t will then be Acknowledged
that my disinterested undertaking was
worthy of the sympathy Of generous hearts
such as those of your French population.
Send me, as you receive them, the names
OF subscribers TO my complete works, in forty
large volumes, and will forward to you the
volumes in the order of their publication.
Accept, sir, for the wish as well as the
deed, the assurance of my gratefulness, which
will cross the seas to every one of these un-

n English view of John
Browns Execution.

The Liverpool Mercury, in an article en-
the probable effects of John Browns death,
draws this conclusion
"A man must be himself saye-owner to
think slavery safe, solid, legitimate and
and permanent basis of social existence
" 10 view it otherwise than as a chronic
Wovocati0n to the worst of anarchies -
The Virginian authorities have themselves

shere is anything conservative in the cause
which they SO furiously defend. The frenzied
rage and terror which seem 20 have taken
possession of the entire state from the dly of

scious weakness and rottennes of the peculiar
d,m ,stic institution" By carving into
execution the sentence against Brown, whom
polite magnaninity might have spared in
consideration of the atrociuus wrongs which
had unhipged the brave old man s reason the
slave-owning rulers of Virginia missed an
invaluable opportunity of conclliating SYM
pathy or disarming hostility. rhev have
committed the yet more damaging blundcr
OF making themselves, and their state, and
their cause contemplate by the exaggerated
military precautions they have taken against
imaginary foes. All things considered, we
do not anticipate that the southern party
will gain political strength by this IIarper's
Ferry affair, but rather the reverse. The
so-called aboitonist invasion of Virginia
has had the effect of disclosing the frightful
insecurity of social condition basel on
slavery; aud it has brought out the character
of save-owning community in a light at
once odious and ridiculous. In no point of
view does it appear calculated to Increase
either the numerical or the moral force of
the South and its adherents.

Interesting Testimony of Mr. Army,

New York, Jan. 49, (Herdld Washing

was examined at length before the Harper

mainly related to occurrances which took
place in Kansas during the border troubles
With regard to John Browns movements in

to locate somewhere and run off slaves from
the South, SO as to make that kind of prop

was to free the slave by the sword Army
wanted to know how he rcconcled that with

years ago. Brown said that the aggressons
of slavery, the murders and robberies perpe-
trated upon himself and members of his fam
lily, and violations of law by Atchins1n and
others in Kansas from 1858 to that time had
convinced him that peace was not an empty
word, and he repeated his dislike to the Re

they were eravens that they had refused to
assist him. Army testified that he declined
