TwIGG's TREAsoN.--No sooner is the hor-
ror consequent on one act of national dis
grace subsided, than another is quickly re-
vealed to the gaze of the nation.
Since Arnold the traitor, high in ranks Of
the Continental Army, enjoying the conf
dence Of Washington and his country, at
tempted the surrender of her struggling for
tunes into the hands of her oppressors.
bolder, more infamous, or more fragrant
act of treachery, never disgraced the an.
mails of this or any other country, than the
reasonable surrender of forts, army and
property belonging to the government to
the State of Texas by General Twiggs. He
too, stood high in the ranks Of the army, in
the confidence of the people, but actuated
by like pitiful pique that impelled Arnold
to betray his country, the name Of the two,
covered with obloquy and shame, as long
as honor and virtue shall be esteemed, will
be perpetuated TO the latest posterity as
the arch-plotters aud traitors of two trying
and momentous eras in their country's his
tory. This act has increased the, hopes Of
the secesionists and has placed within the
grasp OF the State of Texas all the muni-
tions necessary to make desperate stand
against the general governments. Had he
resigned his command to the proper author
ties and turned over to his successor intact
the Federal property, and then offered his
services TO his State, the act would not have
been so disgraceful ; as il is, it stands al.
most unparalleled in history. His name
has been stricken from the army roll. by
Secretary Holt, and when these unhappy
difficulties shall have been speedily settled,
which we earnestly believe they will be,
Twiggs will be surely and summarily called
to account for his treason. A quotation
from Shakespeare aptly illustrates his case:
''This was noble
But with his last attempt he wiped Il out,
Betrayed his country and his name remains
To the ensuing age abhorr'd."

Patty reports violent squalls, with heavy
breaking cross sea. which caused much
damage to bis vessel. In this connection
he says: "This is my ninety ninth passage
between California and the Sandwich

The HONEY LAKE TRAGEDY.-The Sierra
Democrat gives the following particulars of
the murder of Lawson, 10 the Honey Lake
Valley:
. On The night of the 18th inst, an old man
named Lawson. sixty-four years old, was
killed at Honey Lake Valley under the fol-
lowing circumstances: On The night in
question Lawson had occasion TO 60 outside
of the house of Mr.. Tyler, by whom he was
employed. On crossing the door he was
Immediately fred upon with revolvers by
some miscreants who had been lying in wait
and his body completely riddled. eleven
shots being fired, all of which took effect.
The suppOstion is that the assassins inten-
ded to kill Mr.. Tyler, as Lawson was of
harmless disposition, and there could have
been no motive for the murder. Much ex-
citement prevails, and residents of Honey
Lake are using every exertion for the ar
rest of the guilty parties
Three men, industrious and quiet there
tofore were suspected of the killing We
believe they crossed the plains last year,
and lived near Tyler's house. One of them
was persuaded that there was evidence to
convict them; but that he would be allowed
to clear himself by giving States evidence.
He confessed, aud the others were arrested,
and the three taken, bound, to Carson city
where they are now imprisoned.

The STAGE ACCIDENT AT TEHAMA.-A cor
respondent of the Courier, writing from Te-
hama, on the 4th inst. says:
perceive you mention the accident that
happened to the stage passengers the other
day, while crossing the river in skiff at
this place. 1t was indeed horrible scene
to gaze upon number of human beings
hanging TO the branches of tree, up to
their necks in water and relief at that
time impossible, owing to the scarcity of
boats. Mr.. John Simpson started with a
skiif for their rescue, but met with the same
fate. His boat split wide open and he
found himself at the mercy of the strong
current, and sought safety himself by cling
ing to tree. Another party then started
for their relief but were taken down some
distance by the strong current Had ii not
been for Mr.. Mode, who risked bis life to
save those Of others, the probabil ity is that
all OF them would have been drowned, for
no sooner had they LEFT the spot than the
tree was swept down by the current. Much
credit is due to Mr.. Mode. who proved bin.
self to be hero in the noblest sense of the
word.

Of the mumps. They were 80 low that
watchers were needed every night, and II

night, bis duty being to wake the nurse
whenever it became necessary to administer
medicine.
In the course of the night both watcher
and nurse fell asleep. The man with the
mumps lay watching the clock. and saw
that it was time to give the fever patient
