Homicide.

Mr.. Lcmucl Lane, of this district, was
brutally murdered last Friday night, by num-
i.ber of freedmen, together with one or two
white men, rs we arc informed The instru-
, ment used was an nxoo or achct, 1t appears
that he'was asleep under the shade Of large
tree near the door of bis dwelling, with little
son by his side. The party stealthily ap-
proachcd the sleeper, and with one fell blow
despatched the unfortunate man, who passed,
apparently withouta groan or niurmur, to the
eternal world, for his little sou slept calmly
on, unconscious of his fathers cruel fate Mi
Lane had IN his posscsson between eight aud
nine thousand dollars in gold, which was the
key to this atrocions design. Ills daughter,
eldest son and Mr.. Heller, guest, escaped
The two latter were carried some distance and
tied, but succeeded in lihcrating themselves
1t is believed that the party, after getting the
gold, made general distribution, then stealing
a quantity of meat, whisky and two mules
went in the direction of Columbia Before
daylight, Saturday morning, as soon as few
men could be got together, pursuit was made.
But strange a,c the ways of Providence. 1t
would seem that two OF the party arriving
near Columbia, met several little hnys at play.
aud accosting them asked if there was not
nigh cut across to the Charlotte llairqad,
which was answered in the affirmative; also il
there was not a spring near by. The boys
went with thcm to point out thc spring, when,
i'll STOPPING to drink, a bag of money fell from
one Of the party, which excited an cxcIama.
ton of surprise from the boys. They were
hushcd up with an oath and threat The
men then left the spring, and the boys. alarm,
cd, went home and informed. Pursuit was
then made by several citizens Of Columbia,
whcrcupon the party discovering their pursu
crs instantly ran in opposite dircctiops They
would not halt One was shot and the other.

Counts, alias John DawkinA the other was

had eighteen hundred dollars in specie about
his person. The other, who gave his name
as Cook, had small amount Of money and

MINING NEWS.
The weather for several days has
continued cold and disagreeable.-
Miners who ten days ago were doing
good work, with full sluices, are CONS
PEELED to knock off for the present both
on account of the scarcity of water
and the intensity of the cold.
Gold dust continues to offer very
sparingly, aud business of all kinds is
dull, though we anticipate ne,o dust
will soon begin to circulate, there be-
ing large amount of pay dirt out
ready itr sluicing as soon as the
weather will permit. 1t is estimated
that 100000 of gold dust will be
sluiced out within Is days after the
miners can get fairly at work in the
immediate neighborhood.
A stampede of some magnitude be-
gan on Monday last, in tho direction
OF Indian and Crow Crreks, where, it
is reported, in a shaft eighteen feet
deep, from five to fifty cents to the
pan had been obtained, with good in-
dications for large and rich camp
, We hopo the statements may prove
! true, as these discoveries near homo

community than those at a distance.

For THE MINES. ~ esterday large
number of men left here, bound for
Montana and the Big Bend mines,
the majority of whom had arrived
from below the evening previous.
These men have gone by the way OF
White Bluffs, crossing the Columbia
at this place. Another party of about
fourteen persons bought their outfits
at the store of Messrs. Baldwin Bros,
yesterday, and will start out over tho
samo route this morning. These men
found no difficulty in procuring ami
mails in this market at reasonable
prices, and in fact they were well
satisfied with the cost of their en-.
tire outfits. We noticed that while
tho party was engaged in packing
their animals, that the runners and
bummers for toll bridges and ferries
were busily engaged in praising up
the peculiar advantages to be derived
in travelling over their road, and cross
ing the various steams on their ferry
or bridge; but of course they had no
interest in either route-were only
advising the honest miner as to the
best and most practicable way to reach
the mines. 1t is we'll tor travellers to
the mines to know that these fel'
lows who busy themselves in fur
nisbing information about the routes
| up the Columbia, arc interested in some
tolIroad, ferry or bridge, and care
nothing about the miner except To
make him pay bis Irregular toll" fol
crossing on their privilege"
We have the authority of some o
our best citizens who have passec
over the road hence to White Bluff
on their way to Montana, that it is I
good road, with every convenience TO
camping purposes. Mr. NJ. Renig,
gentleman we'll known at the Dalles
writes to friend from White Bluffs
shat himself and party had arrive'
safely after five days travel from tn
} Dales." Mr.. r. pronounces the roa
good one with plenty of wood waite
and grass the whole distance.
