Az UYroRTUxArE CAsE.-The San Andreas
Independent, of January 26th, relates the
following incident:
Two strangers one day this week came
cautiously picking their way down Main
street, observant of nothing passing around
them but both seemingly oppressed 10y some
great sorrow. We saw them enter a public
house and shortly after followed them thilher.
One, who received attentions from the other,
was man of athletic mould, with a color in
dicative of robust health. He was stone
blind. BY one of those accidents SO frequent
among the mining districts of this State,
about a year ago, in the midst of prosperity,
he met with this overwelming misfortune,
which has placed him for the rest of life,
then so promising, in a state of utter help

TIE OPINION OF PIERRE SoULE on THE
SrATEsMANsHIP OF THE SE0EDERs--In letter,
written few days ago. Soule says; "If this
Government is to be ogerthrown, and the
South is to organize itself into a distinct and
separate confederacy, it were hardly an act
of discretion, on our part, to commit the trust
of erecting the latter to the very men who,
with all the Federal power at their bidding,
with the purse and sword in their hands to
sustain themselves, have, in less than four
years, not only destroyed the most powerful
party that was ever organized in any gov
ernment, but subverted that noble structure,
of which John O. Calhoun has said that it
exceeded, in sublimity, any work that had
ever emanated from the mind of man These
are however the men who now urge the
expediency of separate State acuon, on the
part of the States, and who openly advocate
the policy of precipitating Louisiana. of her
self, and without seeking concert with other
States, into the vortex of revolution"

RAISING THE BEAR FLAG.-Butte Mills, gen
verally known as Dogtown, in this county, has
long been known as a sort of an Independent
republic in the county-a "wheel within
wheel as it were. 1t was reported, short
time since that, fired by the secession move
ment, the residents of that burgh had raised
the Bear flag" and declared themselves in
dependent The report was not entirely
without foundation, although the act of Sc
cassion was not consummated. Secession was
not exactly approved by all the worthy
burghers of the aforementioned town. The
act of raising the flag was denounced as trea-
son by some, and it was rumored that one
iresoute person had announced his determi
nation to save the Union by shooting the
first and every person who attemptep to raise
the secession flag This alarming state of
affairs was talked over by the boys and the
programme of action arranged, and we'll un-
'derstood by all but two Of the conspirators
Preparations for raising the flag were then
made, and the crowd grasped the halyards
ready to thrown bruin and cactus to the
breeze, when-bangl went a revolver One
ofthe conspirators clapped his hand to his
breast, fell over and "died without sign"
Crack again went the revolver, and the
crowd fed precipitately, seeking shelter in
the bar-icade room of hotel, where coun-
sci was held, and two persons were found as
ready to treat as they were to retreat few
minutes before Thus is "the winter OF our
discomfort made glorious summer by the sons

FINDING BURIED MoNEY.-The san joaquin

lowing particulars:
On Saturday last, while Henry Britton
was plowing in a field near Lovinp's Ferry
on the Stanislaus, his pillow turned up a bar
winch was found to contain one hundred and
fifteen Mexican dollars. We received this
piece OF information yesterday. Our inform
ant mentioned the circumstance of Sc 600 of
Government money having been stolen from
an army officer in that Vicinity, some ten
years since Learning that Dr.. w. NJ RIVER
OF tins city, was connected with the army at
that time, and was with the troops canned
at the point where the money was found. we
applied to him for information. He informs
us that the troops were two companies of the
Second lnfautry. in command of Major Miller.
One company was under the command of
Lieut.. Steele, aud the other under Lieut..
Moore. While located there. living in tents.

specie, which was in charge of Liet. Steele,

taken from under the canvas, the specie re-
moved out and the box returned Sergeant
was strongly suspected of having committed
the robbery and of burying the money. lie
was discharged from the service a short time
after the robbery, and after the troops left
that locality, was seen prowling about the
old camp ground. Every effort was used by
officers and men to recover the money. The
ground was carefully examined in every di-
rection, but no success attended the search
If the money found on Saturday should be
portion of the missing sum, there will be
some good digging in that vicinity 1t is
possible, however, that the sum may be the
wages of some soldier who had been paid off
at the camp, and who buried it for safety
and afterwards died without leaving infor,

posted.

MILLING BoUT-Like the people of all
other large cities, our citizens are occasion
ally treated with display of "the manly art"
of knocking human countenances into more
agreeable shape. A few mornings since two
OF our miners, who had had some difficulty
over their cups the evening previous, in
which ones eye was painted a sky-blue and
nearly buttoned up, repaired to a favorable
spot in the suburbs ofthe town for the double
purpose of settling the difficulty and of de-
Gliding as to the ownership of $50, which
were staked on the occasion. They were ac-
companied by their seconds, bottle-holders,
and quite large number of spectators. On
the eighth round, the fves of one of the par
ties having come into rather too close CON

eye aforesaid, completely excluding the light
of day, the sponge was thrown up" the
combat ceased, and the fancy separated, de-
claring it was a most "il!igant fight intirely."

HORSE DISEASE "A correspondent of the
Santa Cruz Sentinel. writing from San Anto-
nio, Monterey county under date of the 9th
inst, says: Now, everything looks prospe-
rous, for farmers and stockholders, except the
appearance, in this vicinity, of a disease in
horses which has been raging in Salinas Val
ley for nearly two years. 1t has al last made
its appearance here. Its ravages have been
chiefly on one band of brood mares-about
thirty in number, large and small-owned bv
Frank Sylvester. Out of the whole number
lthan which, no later than two months ago
there was not better looking band of mares
in San Antonio,) there is not more than eirht
left, but what have died or are now crazy.
When the horses are first attacked with this
ravlng disease, they appear to 90 crazy
suppose the reason is that it is disease ofthe
brain. 1t has more lately made its appear
ance in a horse of Jose Gomez. which win at
last die in spite of bleeding, which is the only
way of curing they have there Sometimes
the animals recover, but not to their former
spirit"
The San Joaquin Republican says the Sa-
linas horse disease has reached that county.
1t adds 1--WE have only heard from the di-
rection of the Mokelumne district We are
informed that one gentleman has lost not less
than forty horses The disease is among his
neighbors' animals, and they have last four,
six and ten horses each, and there are a very
large number sick or crazy"

There is a little knot of Seeessionists in this
