ARRIVAL OF THE poNY ESpRE

~
FoRT KEAREEY, Dec. 5..By the arrival Of the
Overland Pony Express at this point to-day, we
have San Francisco dates to the Oath ult
AT San Francisco the trade with the country was
dull. Attempts to force sales of Cuba Sugars at
auction were unsuccessfully met with. a decline
of l3c. is reported. The turn is in favor Of the
buyer.
The news Of the Eastern secession demonstra-
tions was received with much regret.
The Pony Express brings the announcement of
the deaths Of Major Scott and Delagon Smith
One hundred and fifteen thousand dollars of gold
from Frazers river have been received at Victoria
since the 4th of November.
A serious riot had taken place at the Victoria
theater. The negroes who had been assigned to
separate seats, demurred and drove the white
people out of the theater. The principal rioters
were afterwards arrested.

From the Hcunla Ceres Of Saturday last we exs
tract the following:
The weather the past week has been yerv a, as9ss
apie, VITA one or Two very warm days. an one
very heavy rain. 1t is at present, very cold.
The same old complaint that the WELD ~ znga-
is poor and of an inferior quality is st|l fhs sz
among the planters. - -
Many Of them are now wind-rowfng their canes.
while others did it sometime past. In many ;rs
stances the canes are badly sDrouted. ana Il l.
feared that the cold has not been sufficient 10 tiI
the sprouts. The seed canes are falling very fart
but Te were informed by q hitherto very sacceas~
inl planter that the canes were not injured that
more seed could not be put down. and that he In
tended TO do so. ~
II appears that IL IL the genersi impression among
ne people that the design Of the meeting Of the
cltlzens OF this parissy to be held on Monday fhe
Sd December, is to procure immediate aubseriu-
tons for the construction Of railroad and ths i
provement of the navigation ana drainage OF the
sWamps. sneh is not the case. The works can
probably be proceeded with and not one dollar Be-
expended by any person interested.
The Winn Parish Sentinel of the 18th ult. SAYS
On last Friday night we had real touch of win
ser. ice nearly quarter Of an inch thfsk was
formed, and frost that made the earth look az f
" was covered with a light Snow. Saturday night
was also very cold, with nearly as heavy a freeze
as on the night previous.
The Rapides Constitutional % Saturday last has
the following paragraphs "a
M We were visited during the first three days Of
the week with torrents of rain. Since that time
we have had very pleasant weather. s
The river has risen about twelve feet since our
last issue, and we may expect, ID few days that
our river will be crowded with boats both LARGE
and small we hope that they may all have
profitable season. We think from presens appear-
ances that it will be o short one. s''5 n.
We learn that the Clubhouse belonging to the
estate Of the late Capt. Vim. Waters was destroy
ed by ire on Thursday morning last together with
about one hundred and forty bales of cotton. we
are informed that the loss is covered by insurance.
Ihe cause OF the FIRE, as stated to us WAS by the
explosion of the boiler, which threw tie burning
embers into the loft Of the gin. whore was con-
siderable quantity OF loose cotton, which Sglited
and act the roof on fire in q very few minutes
Every effort was made to save the building, but to
no purpose. The loss by the fire Is estimated 81
about 1000. This is the third lot of cotton
winch has been destroyed in that neighborhood
within the last two weeks.
The Union Parish Democrat says the acorn crop
Is heavy there and that the hogs have all got rat On
it. Corn was scarce and the cotton crop very poor.

AN INCIDENT OF THE CHINESE WAR.-A letter
from China says When the French troops entered
the fortified village of Pohtangho, they found that
its Inhabitants and defenders had evacuated it. In
several houses were found large earthenware jars,
nearly five feet high, placed in out of the way
corners and filled with water. But on the surface
Of the water i'll one was seen human foot, and on
the jars being broken, the dead body Of woman
was found in each! From the appearance of the
bodies, the women could only have been dead a
short time, and death must have been caused by
being plunged head-foremost into the water. It
was afterwards ascertained that the inhabitants of
the town had killed in this strange way such of
their women as were not strong enough to support
long march, and might, in consequence, have
fallen into the hands of the conquerors. Altogether
about one hundred dead bodies were found. The
same letter says When the French, after severe
struggle, had possessed themselves of the large
fort, they found in corner mandarin, surrounded
by detachment of Chinese infantry. He was
greatly excited, and endeavored, both by language
and gestures to induce his soldiers to return to the
combat Not succeeding. he declared that he
would not survive such disgrace, and then he cut
his throat with his sword. He had to make three
gashes before he succeeded in his purpose. As a
general rule the Chinese do not seem to fear death.

letter from Waila Walla, Washington Terri
tory, to the Portland toregon) News, and dated
November 3, says that an express had just arrived
in the valley from the command of Capt. Dent,
who was ordered out upon the emgraht road, in
the vicinity Of Fort Boee, to investigate the repert
of the massacre of the enligrants.
Capt. Dent found some ten or twelve emigrants
still alive and subsisting npon the dead bodies Of
their associates. The details are most horrible
The messenger reports some ten OF twelve dead
bodies had been found, and that ten were still
alive, seereted in parties of three or four for the
distance of twelve miles in the vicinity of the at
tack. Some had died from actual starvation. Mr..
Myers, his brother and wife, Mrs. Myers, with Eve
children, and Miss Trumbull, were among the
living. This party was subsisting upon the dead
body Of Mr.. Myers, the father and husband Of the
family, Capt. Dent was expected to ratarn in a
few days, when fall report will be forwarded to

DEMoLrsHING A LIGHTHOUSE Toronto &C.
W.) Leader states that on the morning of the 18th
ult. the propeller 0shawa, approaching the head
OF the canal at Dickson's Landing, was running at
the rate of twelve miles per hour aud when within
few yards of the guard lock, the Captain discov-
cred that two barges obstrueted the entrance. To
stop his vessel was impossible and he had either
to run into the barges and sink them at the ex-
pense of human life, down the frightful boiling
rapid near, or run into the lighthouse. Choosing
the least danger he steered into the lighthouse
which was completely demolished, so great was
the coneussion. No lives lost, and very little
damage done the vessel.

threw the lamp from her at random. and it fell
into the lap of her sister. The clothing OF both
women was saturated with the infiammable fluid

guished they were SO badly burnt that they died
the next day.

MARRYING WITHOUT HIS CoNsENr.-Burtis Skid
more, of New York, worth nearly half million
dollars, recently deceased, left a will bequeathing
one hundred dollars to his daughter, and the re-
mainder of his property to his son. In 1856, the
family of Mr.. skidmore consisted of wife, son
and daughter. The daughter, Marian L., was
wooed and won by Simon Camancho, at that time
VENEZUELAN Consul, and now Secretary of Legation
of Venezuela, under Gen. Paez. Mr.. Skidmore
was opposed to the match, and the daughter mar
ried without his consent. During his lifetime the
parties were not reconciled. Mrs. Skidmore, how
ever, who has since died, reented and became
friendly 10 her daughter, bat the hostile feeling of
the father was unchangeable. The will is to be

ExtradItlon of slaves In Canada.
- - ~ 78la 8
tFrorn the Toronto Leader OF NOV. 2s.l


A novel case Of extradfton has lust arisen. a
slave from Missouri, who Is accused of murdsriiR
his master and then escaping to Canada ID claimed
for surrender and trial by the United States au-
lhorl1les. @ rms slave, whose name is Jones, ap-
pears to have been in the act Of running away,
when, hnding he was pursued by his MASTER he
turned upon and killed him the master having, in
his turn, ran for his life. Under these creum-
stances, the exfradition of the fugitive slave and
accused murderer is demanded. There is nothing
to take the of Jones out of the ordinary cata
CORY, except that he was slave, and that he was
u the act Of attempting TO escape from servitude
when the alleged murder was committed.
slave is not authorized to commit murder and if
Jones be guilty of the crime charged against him.
we can see nothing in the Ashburton treaty to ex-
empt him from extradition. The treaty. in dealing
with cases of murder does not exempt slaves from
the penalties due to the crime; and il it can be
shown that he was guilty of murder, we can see
no reason why Jones should mot be sent back for
trial The case is d novel one; and 1t is just as
we'll that II be crcumspeetIy dealt with. While
showing every desire to give the extradition clauses
Of the Ashburton treaty due effect, in case of
this kind, the Canadian authorities felt that the
prisoner ought to have every chance that the law
affords shown him. The Government, instead Of
allowing the case to be disposed of by q magis-s
trate, has referred it to the judges, and provided
for the due defence of the prisoner. The oppo.
sition party have, as usual, attempted to condemn
the Government for the course it has taken. I'M
less they intend to lay il down as maxim that a
slave is entitled to commit murder without beinr
called on to expiate his crime, it Is difficult 10
understand the drift of their objection. Although
It was known that the Government was to provide
for the defence Of the prisoner, subscription has
been gotten up by opposition patriots for that
purpose. g5F lJ
dispatch from Toronto states that the case
was argued at length the Gath, before the Court
of Queens Bench, at Toronto. The decision
whether the slave be given up to the Unied
States authorities not was to be rendered on the
following Thursday.
