From the Sacramento Record.l
A few days since a Chlnaman went
to a hack-driver IN this city and asked
him how much he would take to carry
n Chinawoman to Dutch Flat. The
driver said that to run the chances OF
being caught he should have to ask q
good price, and he demanded $3.50. It
was promised him and q time set.
When the time came 80 did the China
man, who told the driver that he
should have 70 keep the woman here
two or three days before carrying her
away, and wanted the driver to get a
room In which to stow her away. He
hustled around and got a room, for
which he was to pay six dollars a day.
Meantime another hickman, who had
seen the first one talking to the China
man, suspected something was up, and
went and compared notes with him,
when 1t transpired that driver number
two had been employed by the same
Chinaman, who was to pay him $500
for the same work. They waited until
the Chlnaman came, and when they
saw him asked why this was thus.
John told them that he was going to
carry off two women, and wanted
them both, and that they must meet
him ut q certain place at half past s
o'clock Tuesday night. Everything
was serene. Driver number two, who
drives an open barouche around town,
wont home and had his top placed on
his carriage, and at the time appointed
the two went to the rendezvous to walt
for the Chinaman and his victims.
They waited. In fact they kept on
waiting all the evening, until at q late
hour 1t dawned on them TINT they Ind
been sold by the Celestial. They sub:
seauently a~soertained that a third
hackman had been employed at $500
to do the job, but whether he did 1t OF

ACCIDENT IN FoLsoN.-A fearful &C.
cident occurred In Folsom on the attn
inst. Two white and three colored
men were engaged in firing a salute In
honor of the day, and while loading
for the second shot the gun was pre-
maturely discharged, whereby all the
colored men and one Of the white men
were more or less injured, the latter
having only received a cut over the
eye. One Of the colored mon, known
as 'eOld Uncle Billy" was so badly,
hurt that he Il not expected to survive
his injuries, which consist OF burns and
internal and external injuries beside.
Milton Rose was badly burned about
the face, but It Is not yet known how
seriously. The third, Henry Gibson,
lost one eye and was badly burned
about the hand, which was otherwise
hurt also. These accidents rarely oc.
cur save by carelessness on the part OF
the man who tends vent, and probably
such carelessness caused this terrible
mishap.-Sdc. Record. 100 ,'

from present appearances is likely to
lead to a war of no small magnitude.
The treacherous attack which was
made on the 10th instant on the naVai

and European ships, has led Admiral
Rodgers, commanding our squadron IN
those waters, to make another expedi-

with a spirit of retaliation for the out
rage inflicted on him and his men. hs

have been destroyed, together with a
considerable amount of ordnance, and
over two hundred oftheir people killed
n Admiral Rodgers repeats this pun
ishment a few more times the natives

pean and American ships will be ena'
bled to make their expeditions without

which may retard the nations pros

guarantees of the Corean government
that there will be no repetition OF TN
