TIE UNFORTUNATE IMMIGGANrs. The Port
land (Oregon) News of the 18th, has the fol
lowing:
We yesterday afternoon had a brief con-
versaton with j. W Myers, the leader of the
unfortunate train of immigrants. lie informs
us that there were forty four in the train at
the time of the attack, all, with the exeep-
ton of one Illinois family, from the State OF
Wisconsin. Eleven persons were killed out
right 10y the Indians, and only fifteen are
known to be survivors Of the privations that
followed. Myers is firmly Of the opinion that
if six men had not cowardly deserted them in
the first hour of danger, the train would
have been able to have driven back the Indi-
ans and defended itself through to the settle
ments The foremost of the weak-kneed six
was the man Snyder, of whose arrival at the
Dallas we gave an account some three weeks
ago. Only three of these despicable wretches
got through to the settlements, and two of
them are so ashamed of their conduct that
they keep iJicognao. With The exception of
brother, Joseph Myers, who leaves wife
and eight children in Geneva, Wisconsin, to
mourn his loss, Myers lost no relatives, tho
he brought large family through with him.
Two girls-aged, respectively, IL and n
Myers believes to be alive and held in cap
tivity 10y the Indians, and thinks that proper
eXertions might lead to their recovery. Still
suffering exhaustion, and unable to speak
with ease, We received but few particulars
from him.

JoHX SnANNoN.-T Folsom Telegraph
referring to the death of John Shannon, edi-
tor of the Visalia Delta, who was killed there
few days since by Wm. G. Morris, says -
I'VE were associated with Mr.. Shannon for a
long time-frst in the Calageras Chronicle
and subsequently, in the Visalia Delta. We
found him a gentleman of great personal re
gard, not willing to brook an insult, always
hrst in the attack, and could he but have
controlled bis impetuous disposition, would
have been successful writer. We have oft
times cautioned him to this effect, knowing
while in Visalia, that no kindred feelings ex-
listed between himself and several parties
then residents there. The same at Mokel
umne Hill, but all to no purpose. He has
paid the last debt-peace to his ashes"

RETURNS or ELECTION. We learn, by a7pi-
cation to the Secretary of States Office
that the County Clerks of only nineteen
counties have forwarded returps which have
reached that office up to yesterday The
counties from which returns have been re-
ceived are: Tuolumne, Stanisaus, Santa
Barbara, Los Angeles, Contra Costa, Mendo-
cino, Solano, Siskiyou, San Mateo, Alameda,
Sacramento, Monterey, San Joaquin, Santa
Clara, Sonoma, Napa, San Francisco Shasta
and one county which has not its name indi-
Gated on the envelope. Twenty-iour coun-
ties are behind The Act providing foI
choosing electors of President and Vice
President of the United States makes it nee
essary that the returns of the election in each
county shall be transmitted by the County
Clerk thereof to the Secretary of State Oh
the tenth day after the day of election, or as
soon as he has received the returns from each
precinct of his county, if received within ten
days. BY the law, also, the votes for electors
are to be compared and estimated on the
Monday before the first Wednesday Of De-
cember, or so soon as the returns have been
received from all the counties of the State
if received before that day. 1t will be thus
seen that is essential that the returns should
be all in before December 3d.-Sdc. Union
Thursday.

MEN OF GENUS AND COMMON HONESTY -
Blackwoods Magazine has the following sen.
sible observations
Genius may prevent a man from becoming
rich; it does not prevent his being scrupu-
lousy honest. Absorption in ideas, the bur
suit of objects not in themselves marketable
must of course limit the income of anv man
who earns his income by labor of brain but
1t does not screen from him the plain facts of
his position. If he is so absorbed as not TO
be perfectly aware that he has not earned
the money to pay for the sherry and mutton
on his table, he ought to be shut up in an
| asylum and il he is aware of it. but disre-
CARDS it, either because it vexes him. or be
cause his sanguine disposition leads him to
believe that the money will be forthcoming
somehow" then we must lay the blame on
his feeble conscientiousness, not on his intense
intellectual absorption. 1t is true that CON
centration of the intellect on any subject in
disposes, if it does not unfit, man for at
tending closely to many other matters tho
one may note in passing, that mathematicians
and poets who could find no time to look
after the small matters of finance in their
own families, found ample time to look after
the finance Of India, and the means of defray-
ing the National Debt.
But granting that genius incapacitatcs a
man from attending to domestic matters, we
must still assert that it by no means absolyes
him from taking care that those matters are
properly seen to; he may resign them into
other hands and only be careful that no So
phistcation misleads his agent. Ghirlandaio
bade his brother manage the house for him
self he would do his utmost to find the money
for it by painting. The same principle APP
plies even to men too poor "to live like gem
tlemen." 1t is not imperative on a man to
live like gentleman only imperative on
him to live honestly If his genius will not
procure him the "common necessaries." !"
(which too often include host of superhui-
ties, and sacrifices to mere show,) let him
earn those necessaries by some other labor
like other men. Spinoza lived by polishing
glasses: and small as the pittance was which
this secured him, it was enough for his neces-
sites, and it preserved his Independence
When a pension was offered to him if he
would dedicate his work to Louis XIV, he
declined, "Eaving no intention of dedicating
anything to that monarch 1t was ascertain.
ed after his death that he had sometimes
lived on two-pence half penny day This
was interpreting the necessities very rigidly
and although it is highly probable that, had
he been an Englshman, his position in So
ciety" would not have been very brilliant on
those terms, it is certain that he would have
troubled himself little about his position in
society, finding in philosophy enough to
satisfy his soul

For the North CarolinIap

The Democratic Party is ruined if the Baltimore
convention does not recede from the position took
when in Charleston-C Charlotte Bulletin.
How prophetic. How kind to warn u.s. Demo-
Gratis of North Carolina, unless you go for Yancy,
the disunionist the Bulletin will bolt !! Gewhil-
likens y!
The Democratic party cannot be led by Yancy or
his mad and frutless attempt to ''percpitate the
cotton states into a revolution" The Democratic
party will act at Baltimore irrespective of Yancy,
and possibly may not even be frightened into an
abandonment of principle for fear of losing the
vices of the Bulletin, whose whole aim and work
seems to be bent division of the party. It is
well for that the people of North Carolina think
nationally, for time they compelled to read
little squbs that they doubles laugh at. For our
part we look to Baltimore as to the only Democrat
ic national Convention. Richmond is nothing more
than talkey clustering assembly. We will abide
by the decision of Baltimore and nail to our mast
head its nominee
