OVER THE SEA,

What has become of him-over the sea
Many a summer ago tossed he,
Waving and kissing his hand to me.

Would he forget memo, oh no;
Said not his handsome red lips so q?
All my joy went ofer the sea,
When, on that golden morn went be,
Jauntily kissing his hand to me.
was maiden, poor, and shy,
But nothing beneath all the summer sky,
Was as beautiful, half, he said, as L;
And l, with my dover of charms should be
His bride, when he came hack over the sea
The sea, with its great waves frightening me.
So am waiting, and watching for him;
Eagerly scanning the waters dim;
When will his light bark homeward skim
Watching and waiting oh can il be,
That never he dreams of me over the seal
Murmur it not, white wave to mel
Whisper it never, ye breezes low,
Could he forget me ?-no, oh no;
SAID not his handsome red lips so 2
So will wait me beside the sea,
Where many summer ago tossed he
Waving, and kissing his hand to me.

Come, gentle Muse. aud touch a strain,

On scenes that's passed we now must dwell,
When Old John Brown arrived in HI.
When Pluto heard Old Brown was hung,
All Tophet with hosanna rung
For we'll they knew The bloody thief,

All eager in the joy to share;
Old Satan from his throne came down,
And LETT his seat for Old John Brown.

For soon lie thundered at the gate;
"Come in ~ said Pluto, quickly come,
You're welcome to your fiery home"
Three cheers rolled forth in accent brief,
To hail the abolition chief
Ola John chimed in and thanked the Fate,
He'd safely passed the pearly gate
While Arnold held him by thd hand
Old Satan took lie Speakers stand

THE TRAGEDY ON THE PAYETTE.
PAYETTE FERRY, Nav 18th. 1854.

PAYETTE FERRY, May 18th, 1864.
! MEssRS. EDITORS: AS yon have requested
in your journal, that parties throughout the
country would communicate with you upon
any matters of local interest Transporting in
their respective vicinities / seat myself to
scraWl down for the, columns of the NEWS
the exact particulars, as received them from
all witnessing the affair, of an alteration
which occurred here last Monday, resulting
in the death of Martin Partin, Of the " Cen
trail Ferry" Snake River, and the serious.
though not dangerous, wounding of T. J.
Favorite, one Of the proprietors of this es-
| Establishment, that is of Bluff Station and Pay
cite Ferry, below the Basin, on the main line
of travel to Grand Ronde and points on. the
Upper Columbia.
Last Winter, Mr.. Favorite bought half
interest in this ranch, stage station and ferry, |
and Immediately started below to see about |
the transportation of stock of merchandise. |
In his absence,-the Payette being fordable, |
as most Of your readers are aware, from the
middle Of Summer until the melting of the
mountain SHOWS in the Spring,-his partner
obtained of the Central Ferry Company a
ferry boat and rope to suspend over the river
for crossing the Spring travel, entering into
a contract with the Central Company to pay
for the same by crossing, for stipulated t
length of time, their patrons. A rival Snake j
river ferry company, the Olds' company, up
on Mr.. Favorite's return from below, also 8
made general arrangements for the crossing a
of their patrons by Favorite & Co. Favorite r
for and obtained regular char
Ter, giving himself and partners the exclusive
privilege of ferrying at and about the /" Pay q
lite crossing y; and certainly under it, so
ong as its conditions were not violated, they
lad right to manage their business without 81
outside dictation. But the Central company b
seemed to think, as the first arrangement had a
,een made by themselves, and the boat and e
ope had come from their establishment, that
n a rush of ferrying business their customers W
hould be crossed first. Here, then, was the o.
rigin of the fatal alteration. The deceased m
anne to Favorite, when the river bank was te
med with teams and packtrains from the rival &C
srries, and Internationally demanded that lie
is customers should be crossed first. Favor
5e substantially replied, that he would man

rived, regardless Of what ferry it came

In addition to the dispatch published else
where, with dates up to the 9th, we are in
debted to J, L. Smith, Esq, of Wells, Fargo
w Co., for the Mountaineer of the 18th, con-
tanning dates to the 18th. The dispatches
are much confused, and appear to be SEQUEL
to former reports. The Herald has the fol-
lowing under date of the 18th, which is the
very latest and appears to be an account of a
battle fought on the 10th or 18th ..s ut f..

Sherman in the West, and Butler on the
j mes river was made to the troops which
produced the widest excitement; as the
hour approached for the attack, the enthusi.

BILE.
Grant, accompanied by his staff; Meade, Han
cock and Warren, all started foIathe eminence,
within sight of each other, while vast columns of
our army slowly gathered together for the great
struggle. Just as the attack was about to be
made, the enemy advanced our ri light, threatening
to press back that portion of the line, disconcer-
ing for the time, the plan of assault, Trcops
were hurried to the right, and succeeded in check
ing the rebels, Half past six was then fixed upon
for the assault. Watches were compared by the
corps commanders. They finally separated with
orders that at an appointed hour, simultaneously,
with the fire of IL guns the whole line should ad-
vance with cheers. The movement was indescri-
1ably grand. A portion of the army moved in a
olid column, while others advanced in the usual
rider of battle; the whole army moving together,
md yet each command fighting its own battles,

UNPRECEDENTED JUSTICE. The Boise .Ne1ga
says, " Justice Walker fined himself SIS for
becoming angry in court and swearing at an
attorney" We doubt if the like impartiality
ever occurred before.-Er.
But it did though. When Charley Mason
was Justice of the Peace in Yreka, some u
or 13 years ago, he was betrayed into blasphe

ten dollars for contempt, and adjourned the
court to drink out the amount at conyen-

Iy with the utterance drawing his revolver
and firing. Deceased fred the first, if not
the second shot. Several shots were ex-
changed. At the third discharge of his re-
volver, Favorite shot his antagonist near the
right nipple, the ball ranging in the direction
Of the body of the chest. Partin fell, and
died shortly afterwards. Favorite received
but one bullet himself, which passed through
the muscle of the right arm, and lodged in
the right side, inficting only flesh wounds.
This ball would undoubtedly have been fatal
had its force not been broken by passing
through heavy cloth vest and the arm be-
fore reaching the chest. Favorite immediate
ly sent for a surgeon for Partin, and directed
the following note to Justice Stringham, Of
Placerville:
MONDAY, May 9th, 1864.
T. J. STRINGHAM-HoNORABLE SIR: Through
an amanuensis, l wish to notify you of an aterca-
ton in which had the misfortune to be one of
the principals, resulting in the death of Martin
Partin, of the Central Ferry, and the wOunding
of myself, and which wish to have investigated
in your court. My injuries are such that l am not
able to report to you in person.
Respectfully T. j. FAvoRITE,
Of Favorite & Calhoun's Ferry.
But this note did not reach his Honor, as
early the next morning, in company with the
brother of the deceased-who was doing
business in PlaCeryille, and had received in
telligence of the sad occurrence thus soon by
courier riding all of Monday night-he was
Fastening down here to the scene of the
tragedy.
His Honor convened some kind of court
at the Central Ferry on Wednesday morning,
and two or three witnesses were sworn and
examined, although the affair was witnessed
by perhaps over dozen spectators. AS Mr..
Favorite seems anxious that the case should
be sifted to the bottom legally, it is thought
the following interrogatories may not be out.
of place: 1st, Is there any precedent for a
court becoming a portable institution, and
moving after causes, instead of causes coming
to it ? I'd, Is there any authority in our stat
utes for Justice of the Peace acting, er off,
Go. as a Coroner Sd, If such is not the
case, how did his Honor do so in this case?
1T must have been in the character of an
inquest that witnesses were sworn and jury
nen duly impaneled as Mr.. Favorite was
Tot cited to appear and answer any charge.)
Eth, If there is such authority, how can an
inquest be held on body after its burial
This was done in this instance.) Mr.. Edi-
or, it is simply to promote justice that ask
hese questions, and not to show any disre-
pect to his Honor. Let the law befully vim
