A CHINANAN ON TDIE.-The other day, on
the railroad train from Sacramento to Folsom
a Chinaman dropped his hat overheard and
nothing daunted by the speed at which the
cars were going, jumped from the platform to
recover it. Ills sudden contact with terra
irma caused him to spin over the ground
like ball; but picking himself up without
hurt, seized his sombrero, and making after
the train actually caught up with it at the
next station. John is described as having
made excellent time, and is now considered a
formidable rival to either the Salaya, or
Swamp John as a runner.-P Placer Herald.

FROM MoNo-Mr. A. w. Luckett arrived
in Sonora last week from Mono, in company
with George McQuade. The latter brought
with him 300 ounces of Mono gold dust The
Sonora Age says they encountered n severe
snow storm after crossing the summit
Twelve inches fell at Bells Meadows on
Wednesday night. They report prosperous
times at Mono. Water from Walkers river,
was let into the new ditch on Monday last
The mines of Mono it is believed, will now
pay well until the claims are laid over,
which will be about the 10Th of November.
There is considerable excitement in regard
to the discovery of the Esnereda silver
mines. They are very extensive, and are
situated about 25 miles east of Monoville.-
About thirty or forty separate lodes have
been discovered, a number of which have
been assayed by the State Assayer, with II
result Of Sl75 to Sl,l00 per ton, and that this
is only from the groupings. There are thous-
ands of tons of rock in the Esmerclda dis
trict, above ground, that will yield at these
rates Although some will winter at the
mines, the larger portion of the inhabitants
will go south, towards Coso mines and
Owens Lake.

Found MURDERED.-At noon, yesterday
Coroner Murray received a note from one
Charles Burton who resides at Benton's Old
Ranch on the lower Stockton road, twenty
five miles from this city who states that two
men had been found murdered. Mr.. Burton
says that while passing througha by place in
his field he discovered the remains of the
two men. Two balls had passed through
the head of one of them. The bodies had
been put into a slough and tied to some
bushes, and the water having receded left
the remains exposed. The bodies had been
mutilated by animals. Their clothes and
other articles were found close by; also, let
ters and papers in the pocket of one of them
which showed his name, etc. Benton did not
mention in his letter the name of the mur-
dered man. The Coroner, in company with
Chief Watson, left in the afternoon for the
scene of the murder and had not a late hour
returned.-Sac. Democrat, Tuesday.

ANDREW LESTER GUILLoTNED The Presi-
dent has removed that faithful old Democrat,
Andrew Lester, from the Collectorsbp of
Stockton, and appointed in his stead, A. c..
Bainc, practicing attorney in this city.
Mr. Lester never voted any other thar the
Democratic ticket from the first election of
Andrew jackson to the present time.
Mr.. Baine was n somewhat new convert to
Democracy; but he now supports Breekin-
ridge and belongs to the sectional disunion
party.
MIR. Lester is removed for exercising the
right of an American citizen of free thought
and free speech for Democratic principles
subject to the Constitution and laws of the
country and believing in the right Of the
people to self-government lie has refused
to obey the mandate of James Buchanan.
1t is Gwin's work Let every foe to tyran
ny, every lover of liberty, every Democrat
remember this at the polls.-Stockton Argus

The PRESIDENT HAS NOT DENIED SENATOR
DOUGLASS CuARGE.-The following is from
the Atlas Washington letter:
Our venerable President has been induced
to violate one of his established rules, and to
contradict a charge made against him by Sen
ator Douglas, who said: "The President told
me if did not obey him, and vote to force
the Lecompton Constitution upon the people
against their will, he would take off the head
of every friend had in office"
Mr.. buchanan, in letter to the Hon. Vim.
Smith, of Virginia, positively denies this, and
adds: 81 have never held political CONVEX
sation with Judge Douglas on this or any
other subject, since the day of my first annual
message of the Sth of December, 1857, was
read in the Senate; and | did not transmit
the Kansas Constitution to Congress until the
2d Of february, 1858, the question of slavery
not having been decided by vote of the peo.
pie until the 2lst of December 1851"
Mr.. Douglas admits the truth of this para
graph, but charges that the conversation al
luded to was held Jetccen the sttinq of tie
Convention which framedHe Constitution and
the date Of Nr. Bachanal'S first annual mes -
sage. lie further charges that Mr. Buchanan
has, by special pleading, thus attempted to
deny what can be proved to be true by the
Hon. r. j. Walker.

VIVA correspondent of the Nation
says that at meeting of the Breckenridge
Democrats held in Stanslaus county, the fol
lowing resolution was unanimously adopted :
Resolred, That we are in favor of the re
election of VIM. NJ. Gwin to the Senate OF
the United States. First, because he voted
against the Homestead Bill that would have
given to every settlerin California 100 acres.
Second, because he is the pensioned agent OF
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, whose
tremendous power and influence have always
been used to crush out every effort that had
for its object the construction of Pacific
Railroad. Third, because he strangled the
Overland Mail Bill, that would have given
to California forty-six mails per MONTH
Fourth, because he is the father of the Lime
Point swindle. Fifth, and finally, because
he, with the Pah-Utes, Arrapahoes and Ma
vajos, tomahawked the Pony Express"

EocENTRIC SUIcIDE.-The London Times
says: "An instance of extraordinary eccen-
tricity was afforded on Monday last at Le-
cure, near Havre. A cap was seen in the
water with string of corks around it, and n
label, upon which was written pull the
string, am at the end of it," The string
was pulled, and sure enough there was the
late writer of the label, with paper detail
ing the cause of his having made away with
himself carefully corked up in bottle in
his pocket. with his name and address,
Francois Folot, of Vandrimare.'

SUProstNG A CAsE-"Suppose Mr. Buchan-
an and Dir. Breckenridge in 1856 had told
the people of the United States that there
doctrine was, that if they wanted slavery
they might have it, but if they did not want
it they should be forced to have it; how
many votes would they have got ?-.Stephen
A, Douglas at Rochy Point.

BRAVERY OF THE New ZEALANDEus. De
scribing a recent battle between the English
and natives of New Zealand, the Southern
Cross says: "Ofiiccrs and men fought with
a steadiness and energy under fire which
an Indian officer compared to that at Fero-
zeshah and Sobrano, and which a soldier of
the CrimeN states to have been hotter than
that in the Redan. The enemy, too, showed
unexpected resolution, and has proved
the first body of men able to meet the
British bayonet."

ATTACKED BY AN INDTAN.-A Mr.. English
resident of Red Bluff, while on his way from
Ireka, on the Sacramento road, about three
miles this side of John Hale's Ferry, was shot
at 10y an Indian quite a number of times, un-
til his arrows were exhausted, when Mr..
English returned the salute with rocks A
severe wound in the hand, and a few slight
wounds on the body, were all the injuries re-
ceived by Mr.. E., who has since been brought
to town and is doing WELL
The citizens in the vicinity Of the attlcly
turned out, about sixty in number, pursued
Mr.. Indian, caught him on McCloud river
and on being informed by him that he in
tended to kill Mr.. English, from bad heart
he was suspended to the limb of tree too
long for life to be visible. The perpetrator
gave information ofanother bad Indian, who
not long since committed murder, and when
our informant left, the citizens were in close
pursuit of him. He will probably if caught,
share the same fate. Shasta Courier, Satur.

TnE NEVADA NATIONAL ON GwN.-This
paper holds the following language in regard
10 Gwin:
Four years have rolled around and in their
flight have brought us once again to the eve
of another of our qurdrennial elections; and
with the Presidential struggle comes again
the redoubtable Daily Mail Killer" Not
that Mr.. Gwin aOants to be reelected. Oh!
no. Didn't he tell the people so, in Stockton
in that speech which was, in its publca-
tion, so literally garnished and bountifally
besprlnkled by its author, with the plaudits
of his admiring O. constituents? Certainly
he did. What was Mr.. Gwin's object in
stating that which everybody knows is not
true? Simply to throw the PEOPLE off their
guard. He wants TO steal a march on the
people as he did in 1856, and again sneak
into the Senate of the United States, for six
years more.
TO accomplish this end, he has, among
other devices obtained the mastery of that
antiquated political fossil-John B. Weller
In those counties where Weller has, or is
supposed TO have some little influence
and strength, the Gwinites all shout for
Weller-in those counties where they cannot
put the Ex-Governor to so disreputable an
uFC Will JucN arc lOI SOlHG uGW
mani" But Weller says he has "a right to
run against Gwin." Was it not the bargain,
made when Gwin and Weller "hitched hors-
es," and made up the political team of which
Weller is the off horse, that Gwin was to
help him go to the Senate last winter and
that he and his friends, in turn were to aid in
G wins reelection next winter? Such was
the bargain, and the action Of Weller's
friends show that they are adhering to it,
most religiously. Both Weller and Gwin
know that the boilers have not the ghost OF
chance of carrying this State. Their sole
object, as also that of the other leaders OF
their faction, is to re-elect G win and if it is
by taking advantage, as in 1856, of the tur
moil and confusion of Presidential election;
ofthe division of the party and by attempt
ing artfully to withdraw the attention Of the
people from the fact that by voting for the
Breckinridge legislative ticket. they are vir-
tually re.electing Gwin, and to lead them off
upon other, and to us las Californans) Tar less
important issues, that the venerable Doctor
hopes to be CALIFORNIA; family physician, at
Washington for the next six years.

MAN in the employ of Mr. James NJ.
Morse, of Belleville, Mass, while engaged in
slowing away some hay in barn, slipped
from a scatTod and fell several feet on to a
fork, one prong of which entered the right
check bone behind the eye, passed through
the brain, and came out on the top of the
head, projecting two inches. About eight
inches of the fork were in the head, and a
fellow-laborer had much difficulty drawing
it out. He retained his consciousness, rode
to his home, two miles distant, and walked
up two flights of stairs to his room without
assistance. Though so severely injured, at
last accounts his physician was not without
hopes of his ery.-Easterp paper

Doe FAcE-The term so commonly spelled
"dough face" by the New York Tribune and
other journals, which, from the frequent use
of the expression, would seem to have a pa
tent for its invention, was first uttered by
John Randolph, and applied by him to a
class of politicians who are like the doe, or
female deer, which is frightened by seeing its
own face reflected in a streamlet. As the
New York journals use it, there is no mean
ing attached to it at all.

Forty-nve Emigrants Murdered.

EREKA, October 9th.
The following is an Extra from the Van
oouver Chronicle:
| VANCOUVER, Oct Sd, 9 T. MI. Schneider
has just arrived at the Dalles with news of
the massacre by the Snake Indians of an en-
| tire immigrant train, consisting of4j persons
-l6 of whom were men, the balance women
and children. The party were first attacked
about so miles this side of Salmon Falls. on
the 9th of September This attack lasted
about one hour, when the Indians withdrew
and allowed the train to proceed five miles,
where they again attacked them. The fight
lasted two days and one night On the after
noon of the 10th the Indians had possession
of the whole train with the exception of six
men, who being mounted escaped After
travelling through the woods for nine days
they were again attacked and five of the
party killed-Schreder alone escaping bv
hiding in the bushes, and after travelling
seven days without food was found in an ex-
haIsted condition by some persons who took
him to the Dalles. OF the 10 males in the
party six were discharged soldiers from Fort
Hall. Mr.. Schrieder is the only one who
escaped, ard says the six men who left on
horse back did not leave until the Indians
had complete possession of the train, and from
the screams of the women and children is led
to believe the whole party was butchcred.

CALIFORNIA PoLTICs.-From an apparent
ly well informed correspondent of the New
ork Herald, we learn something of the state
OF parties in California He says that most
of the Federal office-holders 90 "for Breck.
lnridge, but from present appearances the
masses of the people favor Douglas" This
we have no doubt is the case; for it would
be strange if the people of California would
be different from their old neighbors and
friends in the East. The cry comes up to u:
from all quarters, "the politicians and office
holders are against, and the people are fol
stephen a. Douglas" The Herald's cores
pondent, after giving a detailed statement ol
his reasons for detaining them, sums up hi;
calculations in the following estimate of the
vote of California
Douglas. OOO
precklhrluSe. ..3l 900
LlIcoin' '.'.'.... IA 600
Thus giving the State to Douglas by A.
600 majority. This result is most encoura-
gng to Judge Douglas, coming as it does
from the Herald's correspondent. We had
not dared to hope for success in California
and Oregon, and had made our calculations
Of success on a basis which excluded these
States entirely. Every hour renders the
final success of Judge Douglas more certain.
Men may prate about this or that great name,
but it amounts to nothing against this stu
pendous and ever-increasing "ground swell
from the people. Politicians may chafe,
office holders may rage but their puny op-
position will be as chalf before the wind

THE RlCuMoND NoMINArIoN.-The press
are noticing the irregular manner in which
Mr. Breckinridge's acceptance of the Rich
mond nomination is made known Hereto
fore it has been customary to publish at the
same time the letter of acceptance of the
candidate with the letter from the President
Of the Convention, announcing to him his
nomination. But in this case Mr.. Breckin-
ridges answer is published, but Gen. Erwn's
letter is suppressed. Though it is reasona-
bic to conjecture that the Generals epistle
was not fit to be seen yet it is eagerly called
for. 1t will not come however.
Lane, who was also nominated by the dis
uniouists at Richmond for the Vice Presiden.
cy, has not yet accepted. lie probably
thinks that one such nomination is as much
as man of his years can support. If he
does not accept, the Riehmondites will have
to fill his vacancy, though we do not think
that his nomination did much towards pre-
venting vacancy on the regular Breckin-
ridge ticket of the Baltimore Convention
