GENERAL. GRANTS NARROW ESCAPE.
The Washington correspondent Of the
Sacramento Union, writing under date
of February Goth, says:
Do you know we came near losing
our President that day? While cross.
ing Thirteenth street. something or
somebody so attracted his attention to
the right, that he failed to see or hear
the rapid approach OH his left of n
cranky, creaky wagon, drawn by q
pair of ugly scrubs, and driven by two
dilapidated little darkles, who were
~quafreling for the reins. They were
too much taken up with their squabble
to care about running over a man,
even though that man were the ruler
Of a mighty nation, and he was too
much ehgrossed to hear the clatter,
until the wagon shaft was passing al
most within an inch of his breast A
slight start, % quick backward step,
and tho wheels Just cleared him! The
President continued his walk quite UNI
rutfied, while the two little darkey
ragamuf1ns drove on In blissful uI-
consciousness of the magnitude of their
exploit-for had they not driven back
and nearly driven over that great mil
itary ehieltain whom Lee with all his
Generals and all his legions could
neither drive over nor drive back? 1t
was the momentary repulse Of Caesar
at Thepsus, by the two young POM
pegs! But Joking apart, this was a
most narrow escape from serious dam
ser.

A "CoNFIpEScR" MAN.-The Co
lusa Sun tells this story: "Asis pretty
we'll known, quite a number Of our
citizens Of Southern birth have . strong
sympathy for the Southern people.
This Is all right-we feel 1t ourselves,
and we would encourage 1t rather than
otherwise-but q confidence chap
came clong a few days ago and used
this feeling rs capital to commence
operations. He was, he said, the
brother of the Confederate General
John Morgan, and so we'll did he play
his hand that he got In with all the
boys, and by making each his particu-
lar and bosom friend he managed to
tap each for twenty to fifty dollars,
He would say to each one-sNow, my
dear fellow. / am a little short Just
now-will have plenty In a day OF so
and ! would not have anybody In
the world except you to know ! am
out of change, and II you could only

Ing OBLIGATIONS Some Of the boys
did not have the money, but he would
place so much confidence In them that
they would 60 out and try their credit
on the borroY for him, saying nothing,
of course, about what 1t was Tor, n
this way he collected several hundred
dollars and departed, leaving his bill
at the Eureka unpaid. After he was
gone there wasa general coincidence
among the victlmS-th0se, at least
who were willing to acknowledge the
corn. Look out for him-we don't
know whose brother no will be at tho

WRECK oPTHR GOLDEN CITY.

The following statement is made by
one Of the passengers Of the late ILL
fated vessel:
From the time of our departure from
San Francisco everything went along
we'll, the weather was delightful and
the sen calm. Nothing occurred to
mar the happiness Of all on board until
Z A. N. on the morning Of the 22d OF
February. AT that hour l was dress
ing, and felt n shock which l imagined
was produced by the ship striking on q
sand bank. / Immediately rushed on
deck and found the ship In q dense fog,
and observed the Captain and first off,
Ger forward directing the engineer. At
this juncture, some of the passengers
wanted to lower the life boats. The
Captain ordered them to leave the
boats alone until he gave orders for
them to be lowered. The ship was
still getting deeper into the sand.
After some time consumed in ineffect-
ual efforts to get the ship of, the Cap
tain gave orders to lower the boats ;
and then gave orders that all the wO-
men and children should first be put
ashore. As soon rs the ladies and chill
dren were ashore, the male passengers
went ashore, except some who volun-
teered to assist in getting ashore water,
provisions, specie and baggage. While
this was being done both Capt. Com
stock and first officer Gerrick, behaved
with much GOODNESS and gallantry.
Everything likely to contribute to
the comfort of the passengers, such rs
blankets, sails to make tents, were
sent ashore by the Captain and First
officer. Neither Of whom left the
wreck while 1t was possible to do any
further good there. After al had been
got ashore that could be saved, the
Captain, his officers and crew were
unremitting in their efforts TO promote
the comfort of the passengers.
In order to allay the fears Of any
persons who may have had, or sup
posed they had, friends on board the
Golden City, 1t is stated that there has
not been any person lost. Seven peo-
pie In all were left behind-four Of
these were left to guard the specie, the
others were unable to perform the
overland journey to the ship. The
party left are amply provided with
food, water, bedding and everything
they require, and no fears need be en-
tertained OIL their account.
1t Is but fair to add that our inform
ant gives the Captain, officers and men
of the ship the greatest credit for their
kindness under the circumstances and
he thinks a great injustice has been
done to the Captain by the many
aspersions thrown upon him.-S. +.

New YoRK, March IA Havana
letter gives the details of the arrest and
execution by the Spanish of alleged
members OF the Cuban Junta at Santi-
ago. The arrests numbered 40 to 90,
and lS were executed, including two
Americans. The victims were ar
raigned before the Commission and
| condemned, and then admitted the ex-
istence Of the association to which they
belonged, but they denied Its being u
political Junta, and said it was only a
masonic Lodge" and that they met
as Masons for Masonic purposes. This
defense appeared to have angered in
stead Of satisfying the Spaniards.
A C~atalonian priest who has been
noted for the ultraism of his loyalty
and for his violent denunciations OF
Cubans, pronounced Free Masons no
better than insurgents. He said that
the rising Of the Yarra was plotted
and planned In a Masonic Lodge, and
that Cespedes Is a Mason, and wherever
Masons c~ongregate, there Spanish 10y
atty dies.
The American Consul, Phillips, ably
seconded by Ramsden, the British Con-
sui, endeavored hard to ave the lives
Of his two countrymen, but was un-
successful. The volunteers insisted
upon their life-blood being shed, rs
well as that Of their Cuban associates,
and thwarted all appeals intended to
prevail on the Governor Of the district
to spare them.
The Americans were Free Masons,
and one of the Cubans was Senior An
dres La Puente, Of the Grand Orient
Of Nfasons of the Island.
Phillips reports that the remaining
prisoners are to be executed, hut the
statements from other sources are that
the Lieutenant Governor Is opposed to
any mans execution, and has written
for instructions.
The volunteers, headed by Colonel
Boet, were furious at the delay, and
clamored loudly for the execution of
all the arrested parties. and the event
may have happened already, since 1t Is
likely that the Lieutenant Governor
had to succumb to their demand.
Some Americans were also included
In this lot, and Phillips has asked the
American Government for a man-of-
war. The British Consul has also
written to his Government that q
British war vessel should be kept con-
stantly ut his disposal.
On the 18th a British subject, Fred
erick Jordan, was murdered by a
Spanish volunteer. The murderer was
arrested. His act was said to have
