such murders could lie publicly committed.

lance when the fatal shot WAS fired, but he
has no notion of the appearance OF the muir
ccrer. The JetfcrlS boys, Charles and Ed
ward were confronted with him, but he
could only say that the former was nearer
the size of the murderer. yet he did not
think that he was the man. The daughter
of Mr.. Walton. an interesting girl, and his
AIRED mother, testified to threats made by
Charles JcterlS, that lie would blow MIR.

The Charlottesville Review states that on
Friday might week, in charlottesville, i
serennde was gotten up in honor OF Roger
i. PRYOR, esq, who had been so)onrnlns
,hare for several davs, in the discharge OF
his duties as Visitor of the University OF
Virginia. On being called out he made i
handsome address, in which he frankly anu
raudidly cave his views Of the present con
dition of the public affairs. lie said that the
National Democratic party had no longer an
existence: that it was perfectly impotent, and
50 enveloped by corruption that it absolutely
needed to be chasened by defeat and pr''a-
ton. He spoke in the highest terms OF the
cid Wing party and It's leaders, and said that
he would cordially vote for BELL AND EVER.
rrr ii he thought there was any prosper .!
their success: and concluded by drawing 4
most gloomy picture Of the future. In ms
oDin;On, Lincoln election was inevitable ana
nothing WAS lett the South but TO show an uh-
divided front to the aggressions oil the ioe---
Mr.. VIM F. Gordon, after repeated calls, 1ol-
lowed III the same strain, anticipating tue
same results. The crowd the adjourned 10
lion. Shelton f. Leakc's residence, who
made them short and pointed address,
lie paid Il high tribute to the patriotism Of
the Union party admitted that the dem
ocratic party was now purely sectional and
,,1werless. and concluded with the same
omnous predictions Mr.. P. II. Ay lett,
another member Of the Board Of Visitors,
was then called on and compelled to get cut
of bed aud address the crowd. He made Il
strong appeal to his party in Virginia to
harmonic, but gave them no encouragement
to hope for anything save temporary State
success. The general tenor of the speeches
of the night was the utter futlity Of relying
longer; that it was divided on sectional
Grounds and unable TO defeat Lincoln"

CHARACTER OF BYRON PoETRY-If the
finest poetry be that which leaveth the deep
est impression on the minds of its readers
and this is not the worst test of It's excellence
Lord Byron, we think, must he allowed to
take precedence of all his distinguished con-
temporaries He has not the variety of Scott,
nor the delicacy of Campbell, ror the
polished sparkling of Moore; but in force of
diction, and inexlinguishable energy of
sentiment he clearly surpasses them all.
Thoughts that breathe and words that burn,
are not merely the ornaments, but the com
mon staple of his poetry; and he is not in
spired or impressive only in some happy
passage, but through the whole body and
tissue of his compositions. 1t was an un-
avoidable condition, perhaps, of this higher
excellence, that his scenes should be narrow
and his persons few To compass such ends
as he had in view, it was necessary to reject
all ordinary agents and all trivial combina-
tions. He could not possibly be amusing, or
ingenious, or playful; or hope to maintain
the requisite pitch of interest by the rec
itaition of sprightly adventures, or the op-
position of common characters. To prodnce
great effects. in short, he felt it necessary to
deal only with the greater passions-with
the exaltation Of daring fancy, and the
errors OF lofty intellect-with the pride,
the terrors and the agonies of strong emo
tion-the fire and the air alone of human
elementS.-Lord Jeffrey.

lads weie indulging aquatic sports in scow on
the Middle Yuba Reservoir, Saturday last, which
they were unskillful enough to upset in deep wa
ter. After some effort spent endeayoring to right
the scow, three of the boys turned their faces
land-ward, and By heroic struggles managed to
reach shoa water before losing all their strength.
The fourth, young Craddock, would inevitably
have perished, but for the timely assistance rem
dered by MIR. Frank Clark. He happened to be
engaged not far off on his railroad, at the time,
and on hearing Craddock's cries ran down to the
reservoir, plunged in, and soon had hold of the
boy, whom he bore safely, but dripping, to the
shore. This should serve as a warning to other
youth, fond of like amusements.

srABB1se AT FRENCH ConRA1-The partic-

STABBING AT FRENCH CoRRAL.-The partic-
ulars, as we learn them, in relation to the stab
bing affair at French Corral, on Thanksgiving
evening, are as follows: Charles Miller, Swede,
had a grudge against George Phillips, the pro-
prietor of saloon at French Corral, because, on
one or more occasions, Phillips had elected him
from his premises, on account of drunkenness
and disorderly conduct. Phillips had just fin
ished eating his supper at a restaurant in base
ment story, and was ascending to the street;
when Miller, who was watching for him, made a
lunge at his throat with knife. Phillips drew
his head aside rapidly, and received the stab in
the shoulder. In few moments after, rumor
Of the attempted assassination spread, and a
crowd collected, which pursued Miller. He pre-
sented cooked pistol at thenh which so exas-
perated them, that they closed in upon him, and
inflicted such wounds upon his person, to
cause his death day or two after. He was bur-
led on Saturday.
Coroner Henry should investigate the facts
connected with this case.

Change of Mining Claims.

large number of mining claims have changed
owners within the past few weeks at this place,
and others are changing hands daily. Some mi
ming interests have been sold at what, in certain
localities, would be thought enormous prices !;
whilst here, among our miners, who are acquaint-
ed with the soil and its value, they are esteemed
merely nominal.
A short time since, Moore & Readshaw sold
their Mud Cut" ground for $4,000. The
Knickerbocker Company were the purchasers
The same gentlemen sold other interests to the
NJ. G. Canal and Water Company for about
$4,000. The Messrs. Belcher, of Marysvile, also
sold to the water company their interest in the
same ground for several thousand dollars.
RECENT CLEAN UPs.-Occasionally, from in
direct, yet reliable sources, we obtain informa-
ton of the amount of gold taken out by the va
rious companies, notwithstanding their studied
efforts at concealment. We are thus enabled to
state, that at their last clean up, the Eureka
Company, after eight days and a half run, took
out $500. The Britannia Company took out,
after an eight days run, little rising of $4,000
The Metropolitan Company, after run of eight
days, took out $4,000 Messrs. Moore & Read
shaw took ou. $4,000 in eight days run and
the Knickerbocker Company over $s4 900 in run
of eight and half days.

REVOLVING CLOTHES HoRsE.-N1r. J. A. See

pivot, eight feet from the ground. These arms
are about nine feet in length from the point of
radiation, and are each pierced with four holes,
at equal distances apart, through which the line
is passed, until complete series of lines present
themselves, on which the clothes are hung and
dried. The revolution gives the horse the advan-
'tage, during the prevalence of breeze, of pre-
senting all its sides to the wndward, which
greatly facilitates the desired process. We are
not informed as to who is the inventor of this
device, but can refer to Mr.. Seely as the agent.
