NARROW EsCAPE.-We learn from the
passengers who came down en- the Shasta
stage, says the Butte Record that on We'd.
neSday, the 9th inst, when the passengers
wS'h the mail and express matter which came
d0~n from Shasta were crossing the Sacra>
shento river, at Tehama, the boat became un-
.D"n'gesoie and was carried by the current
4H'0 d cluster of trees and capsized The pas
Sehgers-of which there were ten men and
one woman--clung to the trees and were
compelled to remain in that uncomfortable
position about one hour, before relief could
feacn them. The MALE, with the exception
ol one bag, and all the express matter were
saved. Within half an hour after the pas
sengers were rescued from their periious po-
s'''on' the trees to which they had been cling
ing were undermined and carried away by
the current.

Fop or AGAINST THE UNIoN-Several mem
hers of the Legislature stated in Senatorial
Convention that they could not vote for John
Nugent, as in speech made on the night Of
his nomination he proclaimed secession or
.disunion doctrines This was denied by Mr.
Gallagher. Mr.. Munday and others of Nu-
gents supporters, and as there were no re-
porters present to make note of the speech
and publish it, the public has no means of
Judging between them. The Sacramento
correspondent of the San Francisco Call pro-
poses to enlighten the public on this subject,
and gives report of the remarks in question,
prelacng them thus:
81 do not pretend that the entire report is
given in the exact words used by Mr.. Nugent
on the occasion. as the report is written from
the memory of an attentive listener TO the
speech, but | do claim that it is the sub
stance of the speech, within-insteaa Of ex-
ceeding-the words and meaning expressed
by him on the occasion. To satisfy myself
on this peint beyond doubt, as would not
knowingly or willingly misrepresent Mr. Nu-
gent in the matter-I read the speech here
given to one of Mr.. Nugents strongest sup
porters, past and present, in the Legislature
and he failed to find a single misstatement
in word or meaning, himself being listner
to the speech.
Here is the report:
"IIe would say that he was no dsunicnist
that he was in favor of the L nion. and in
favor of its reconstruction He was opposed
to coercion, because he was in favor of the
Union He would not only resist by his
vote, by compromise aud Cancellation, coer-

SAD AND FArAL AFFRAx.-About G. o'clock
on Friday evening, a difficulty occurred one
mile from town, between w. Zboinski and
Edwin and George Pepper, aged respectively
II and IA years, sons of E. ). Pepper; aud
which resulted in the death Of Mr. Il. 1t
would appear from the evidence adduced OH
the exaniHation, that an i'll feeling had for
some time existed between the families of
Mr.. Pepper and Zboinski, growing mainly
out of the construction of line fence the
breaking into Ps enclosure hy rs COW, etc
That on the day of the stabbing Z. had dis
covered his COW in Peppers field and had
just driven her out. when the Pepper boys
came up and commenced calling him hard
names This eXasperated Lbonski and he
threatened chastisement, at the same time
stepping upon the fence between himself and
the boys with the evident intention of max
ing good his threat. Nc sooner was he upon
the fence than the elder of the boys, Edwin,
drew from his pocketa stone, which he hurl-
ed at T., striking his hat AS Il. approached,
young Pepper drew forth second stone
from his pocket and threw it, hitting L. in the
eye and binding him, when he turned to
run. At this stage of affairs his assailant
rushed upen him and, with bowie knife
inflicted fatal wound in the back, near the
left side. The wounded man survived his
injury some eight hours. He was native
of Pola d, and aged about thirty three years
His remains were followed to the grave, on
