DISCOVERY OF A MURDERER ELEyE,

DISCOVERY OF MURDERER ELEVEN
YEARS AFTER THE CRIME.-Eleven years
ago DR.. John Marsh, a native of South Dan
vers, Mass, and a graduate of Harvard
College, was murdered in Contra Costa
county, CAL, whittier he had emigrated,
after spending some years on the western
frontier. The murder took place in a
lonely locality while he was on his way to
San Francisco to be married. The muir
derers obtained several hundred dollars in
gold from his person, and one of them was
subsequently arrested, but for want Of
sufficient evidence the trial was deferred,
and in the mean time he escaped from jail
and fled the country. Within year a
man named Fosset, who had witnessed the
murder and shared the money, muttered,
while intoxicated, that he knew all about
the murder, and on being arrested made
full confession. 1t appears that he was
boy at the time Of the murder, and en-
ployed in the family of one Of the assas-
sins, who were three in number, Juan Gar
cia, Felipe Moreno, and Jose Antonio
Olivias. He was with them when they
committed the deed, but never lisped a
word of their guilt till his arrest. His
confession led to the arrest of Olivias, who
made clean breast of the affair and turn
ed States evidence. Moreno was put on
trial last November, and convicted by the
evidence of Fossett and Olivias, and SEN
fenced to the State prison for life. Thus
the old adage that jnstice, though slow, is
sure, is again verified.

From the New Orleans Crescent Januaryl.
Last evening there was considerable OK
element on the levee opposite Jackson
Square, in regard to the expected arrival
of Hon. Jefferson Davis. At o'clock
there was gathering of people on tho
levee, waiting for the arrival of the Cuba,
on which Mr.. Davis was a passenger, but
tho ship was delayed somewhat beyond the
expected time, and many who were anxious
to greet our distinguished visitor were
driven away by the keen, cold, raw air
which swept over the wharf. Nevertheless,
some two or three hundred people waited
for the arrival of the ship, and when Mr..
Davis came on shore, greeted him with
hearty and continuous cheers. Mr.. Davis,
accompanied by Mrs. Davis and another
lady, entered carriage, and was quickly
driven off to the St. Charles Hotel. The
reception given to him was very cordial,
though the extreme inclemency of the
weather made it much less enthusiastic
than would have boen the case under
other circumstances.

The cotton tax bill was passed to the

NEW YORK, January 6.-The following
cable dispatch was received here yester-
day:
NAPLES, January 4.-The eruption of
Mount Vesuvius, which was described
some few days since as becoming still more
intensely grand, is just now quite alarm
ing. The whole of the volcano is in vio-
lent action, and fame issues not only from
the old crater and many new openings to
the air, but it continues to blaze after its
election. A slight subsistence of the vol
canic motion had taken place, and on
Monday the 9th of December the noun
tain remained almost quiescent, its sides
being covered to great extent with snow.
A heavy colored smoke issued from what
the Sauans term the "smoke holes," old
and new.
Tuesday night, December 10, the erup-
tion was resumed with great force, and a
mass of lava, resembling a solid rock, was
shot from the crater to great height, and,
as seen from this city, rolled down the
sides Of the great cone after falling. A
loud roar, as if Of artillery, was heard
during the entire night. The mountain
was yelled in darkness long after the hour
Of daybreak next morning. As the fore
noon advanced strong wind sprung up
from the north, and dispelled the gloom,
and Vesuvius has been witnessed in its
fiery daily grandeur since.
To-day perfect river Of fire is seen to
flow from the mountain, running in a west
erly direction. The fiery flood is nearing
the town of Cercala. The upheaving Of the
volcano is attended with shocks resem-
bling those Of an earthquake, and loud
detonations, as of battery Of heavy guns
in full play, are heard. A perfect panic
prevails among the inhabitants Of all the
villages situated in the neighborbood OF
the foot of the mountain.
