whole races of negroes, who, from the entire
use of animal food present as fine carnation

brethren are still holding their levees in New
Music Hall, and are nightly visited by the
curious and scientific. One of them, he that
has his right arm free, is little taller, and
apparently stronger than the other, aud he is
also more youthful looking. This would
seem TO argue that his body is nourished, to
means of their singular link. This fact will
probably also elicit the attention of medical

FlLIBusTER MovEMENT.-A private letter
from resident at Ell Paso, Texas, was shown
to US Thursday, says the San Francisco Her
aid, confirm ing the statement of our Arizona
correspondent that a flibuster movement Of
formidable proportions was in progress in
that region for the conquest of Sonora. The
organization is secret one, but nearly all
the restless and adventurous spirits of Texas
New Mexico and Arizona are concerned in il
The flibusters, the letter says, are anxious for
Southern Confederacy, believing that they
would have greater license in their proposed
adventure than they can expect under the
government as at present organized. We are
further informed that Gen. Buckley, COM
mander Of the Knights of the Golden Circle,
who is now at Austin in Texas, has some
connection with the business, and that the
first aggressive movement will be made early
in the spring.
The reported failure of the K G. C.'s is
denied. A correspondent writing from Aus
tin to the Petersburg Express, under date Of
Oct. 10Th, says:
81 am confident that the only difficulty
now in the way is one arising from want of
water and provisions, and while Gen. Bick-
ley may be blamed, it was impossible for him
TO foresee this worst of circumstances to the
Order, yet am satisfied that the delay will
afford greater guaranty of success. If no one
else assists, Texas alone will furnish the men
to carry through the enterprise. The Tex
ans are X. G. C.'s almost to a man. and am
we'll persuaded that the Texans are the men
for the work, since they live almost in a state
of continued camp life"

On Thursday last Sheriff Paul, of Gala

and also Mr. Benbrooke, of Hornitos, went
to Princeton to arrest man named Williams,
who is said to have committed various crimes
in Calaveras. They found him engaged in
cutting wood near Princeton. On seeing the
officers, Williams made desperate effort to
gain some chaparal bushes, and when called
to stop ran the faster, whereupon, Deputy
Thorn fired at him, wounding him severely
