SAX Francisco, Sept. IL PM

LIVELY FIaHr AT ALTA. s. lam,
the expressman, gives us some particulars
of a remarkable and desperate fight which
occurred at Alta on Sunday afternoon.
It was o one-sided affair as far as numbers
were concerned. and the principal characI
ter exhibited feats of agility, endurance
and strength that astonished the residents
of that belligerent town. A man named
James Sexton got into a fight with another
man, and was likely to seriously hurt him,
when o constable interfered to stop the
fight. Sexton Immediately turned his at
tsntion to the constable, and was getting
the best of him, when the latter called for
help. Five or six persons came to his as
sistance, but Sexton, nothing daunted,
launched out right and left, knocking
down every one within his reach. Others
came to their assistance, and after q des-
perate struggle Sexton was thrown to the
ground, and it was supposed secured, the
officers leaving half q dozen men to hold
him while they went for handouts. Sex:
ton rested a few moments, when he raised
in spite of the efforts Of the parties hold
ing him, knocking several Of them down.
Another struggle, similar to the first, en-.
sued, and Sexton was finally again thrown
and handcuffed. He waited a second
time until he was fairly rested, when he
jumped up again, and with one wrench OF
his wrists broke the handouts with the
greatest apparent ease, and stood ready
for another encounter. After this he was
furnished with a revolver and deringer oy
some friend, and fred one shot, and was
fred at once by one of the c%onstables,
neither of the shots, however, taking eff.
feet. He then left the town, but camped
near by, and at last accounts he was de-
flying the whole town to take him. We
are informed that Sexton is rather under
| the medium size, but he must be we'll put
together and of extraordinary muscular
| power.-Nepada Gazette.

BULLY BuLLIoN.-The shipment Of bull
lion from Gold Hill, by Wells, Fargo \ Co.'S
express, during the month of August,
amounts TO 352 bars and Is sacks, valued at
1892, 1874 IS. To this should be added $780,
900 worth Of bullion sent to Virginia assay
ers BY the Yellow Jacket Company, and
shipped from the express Office in that city.
This aggregates S772,l34 IS as the Angus,
yield OF Gold Hill mines, so far as assays
indicate. This is the largest monthly ship
ment ever made; bu, it is confidently cx-
pec,ed i, will be the smallest Of the last FIVE
months Of 1866. The yearly average i,
ciphers exceeds nine millions Of dollars. Is
it necessary to call attention, in so many
words, to the fact that the Gold Hill mines
are giving out?

A JOHNSON MAN REJoIcEs.-Since the
removal Of Union men and the rumored
appointment of Bigler, the Democrats be-
gin to rejoice. A day or two since a
group of them got together and the subject
came up. "Well, boys" said one, "these
d-n niger worshippers is getting
cleaned out. Old John Bigler is got
Office, and Dimocrats begin to hold their
heads up again. Eyes" chimed in an
other, "and johnson will clean out this
ere Court House Of these Radicals, and
appoint county officers as is good Demo-
Gratis, too. Andy'll show these fellows
that's denouncin' him that the Democracy
amt dead yet" And so they proceeded,
discussing the chances for d~eputyships
and receiving the promise of Johnson for
a '.clean sweep" as q promise of county
as we'll as Federal offices; and rejoicing
at the prospect Of getting into the county
Court House.-Neuada Transcript.

AMERICAN MILITARY INVENTIONS. -
Russia takes a very great interest in the
improvements in military science lately
made in this country, and has sent an
officer of the Royal Russian Mining En-
gineers-Capt. Kholostoff by name-on a
tour of inspection throughout the United
States, with instructions to make monthly
reports to the Home Government. He
has visited the armory at Rock Island,
Illinois, and lately witnessed the casting
of the t~wenty-inch gun for the Puritan, at
Pit,sburg. At present he is in St. Louis,
and i. is said has arranged with the inven-
tor of the Rodman gun to furnish some of
that kind of artillery to the Russian Gov
eminent.

THE ROBBERS OF CAPTAIN TEAL.-We
learn from the Grass Valley Union addi-
tional particulars in relation to the rob
bers of Captain Teal, who were arrested a
few days since in Marysville and carried
to Grass Valley: 3D.
The parties are known as "Rondo Jim
and Dare Devil Dick" The real name OF
the latter is said to be Robert Mellon.
Rondo Jim is about thirty.fve years old,
about Ave feet nine inches in hight, weigh
ing about one hundred and sixty pounds,
and wearing a mustache. Mellon is a
mere boy about seventeen years old, OF q
slender frame, his face being quite pale.
Both parties were recognized here, on get
ting out Of the Marysville stage, by per.
o n from Washoe, who had seen both OF
them frequently IN Virginia City. Mel
lon was recognized by Captain Teal as the
man who shot him. The Captain was
not so positive about the other, but thinks
he is the man who stood at the horses
heads. . ....

A CANADIAN CRIsIs.-Mr. 4. I. Gait,
the Finance Minister Of Canada, having
resigned his position in the Cabinet on &C.
count Of a difference with his colleagues
upon a change in the Lower Canada school
law, there Is something like a crisis in
Canada. The general anxiety there, how
ever to retain Mr.. Gait in the Cabinet has
led to q pos.ponment of all the school law
questions, and it is thought he may be
prevailed upon to return to his seat.
British America, until the confederation
Of all the Provinces Is accomplished,
threatens to be in a sort Of an anarchic.l
condition. Rival parties in all the Prov
inces hope to gain advantages BY the con-
federation, aud are waging bitter conflict,
with each other upon what would be re-
garded in the United States as very small
points Of difference.

THE NEWS.

DISPATCHES to-day tell of the Presidents
advance so far as Albany, on his "tour."
I, is related that he is m~aneuvering to
draw Gen. Gran, into an endorsement of
his administration, but though a cores
pondent thinks he will succeed, he has not
as We, obtained the approving speech he
seeks. Gov. Fenton welcomed the "Chief
Magistrate" at Albany, in a neat and
cautiously worded speech. Maxy's case
is given up-in Paris. Crapeau don't
like the way the Russian Bear and Amer
lean Eagle wink at each other. a very
toothsome correspondence, between Mar
u Ward, of New Jersey, and Henry J..
Raymond. of New York, is selegraphed
to-day.

SEIZURE OF A SEAMAN ON AN AMERICAN
SKIP, BY PRussIA.-It appears that whilst
the steamer Baltic was lying at the port Of
Bremerhaven, Prussia, loading for New
York, the Prussians claimed one of the
sailors as a citizen Of that country.
Whether he bad been naturalized in the
United States or not, was not known, and
the United States Consular Agent surren-
dered him, but the Captain of the Baltic
protested against the seizure Us a violation
Of the rights of a canaan on an American
ship. The facts have been laid before the
Government at Washington, which will
no doubt investigate the matter.

One of them introduces a poem by the

has lain many years in the grave for his
own amusement" Another complains
indignantly at the manner in which the
body Of a suicide was treated: "She was

The NEW YORK DETECTIVES. The
Superintendent of the New York Police,
it is said, has discovered that many OF the
detectives of that city are in secret league
with extensive gangs Of counterfeiters.
The head of the detective force has been
removed on this account, and there is
great CONSERVATION among his subordi-
mates. When officers of justice, upon
whom people rely to detect villainy, be-
com secret confederates Of rogues, the
evil to society can scarcely be measured.

NIAGARA jokes, some good and some
bad, are announced every season, and the
latest is that of a rural gentleman and his
good wife, who watched the falls one day in
amazement' concluding certainly that
there was a great waste of water, but it
would no doubt soon run out. The
next morning, however, the gentleman
was up bright and early, and peeping out
of his chamber window, he announced,
with the greatest as~tonishment depicted
on his countenance, "Wife, I'll be derned
if the water amt still going over that

Sleep on, We glory-wrspt heroes
OF warm and sunny land,
Whose deeds of true valor compare
With that brave Spartan band.
Those heroes OF old neer fought and bled
For land that was fairer, which to love
In their hearts rich blood was glory and Joy.
Then rest in peace, ye gallant brave
The turf presses lightly on your broad breast,
The winter winds sing you lullaby song,
And cool summer zephyrs sigh thro' the trees,
While busy bees hum to you all the day long.
No care, pain, or sorrow belong to you now
No grim prison walls before you arise,
Nor sentinel dread on your slumber glares.
Then rest, for the brave man never dies.
Your memory, enshrined in fond hearts and true,
Grows fresher as day follows day;
And warmed by affections ray
Sleep undisturbed, tho thunders may roll,
And hghtning's red fash dart over your head :;
No battle cry will awake you again
Then rest in peace, ye honored dead.
The halo of glory which circles your brows
Was bought in a cause most holy and pure,
And has rendered immortal your sons OF the
South,
Who fought fora land from which naught could
allure.
Your slumber is sweet, your strife is now DER
The lark sings requiem above your green
graves,
And the soft summer breezes lull you to sleep.
Then rest IN peace, ye immortal braves.
