TIE TRAVELLING TRUNK.-The San Fran
cisco Chronicle of the 18th instant gives the
following information about trunk:
20. G. Wheeler, General Baggage Agent OF
the Central Pacific Railroad Company, yester
day had in his Office a small hand trunk which
had come through from Halifax on tho lnter-
colonial line, distance Of 4, l96 miles. 1t was
shipped by MIR. Clark, the baggage agent at
that point, and came by the way OF the Inter
colonial, Eastern, Boston and Alpaoy' ne"
York and Harlem, Hudson River, Pennsyy.a-
MIA Central, Pennsylvania. Fort wayne " a.
bash and Chicago, Burlington and Quincy,
Rnrl;noton and Missouri, Union Pacific and
Central Pacific roads-twelve roads 10 all: Inc
object in shipping it was to show the perfection
and efficiency of the arrangements recently per-
fected for the shipping of baggage. 1t has
way-bill in blank on one side, and each place OF
transfer from one road to another is marked
thereon, with the date of arrival and time OF
departure The arrangements are so perfect,
that if the baggage is detained or lost it can be
traced to any point on any road on the CONT
nent. The trunk contained bottle OF Halifax
brandy, and bottle of water, and some letters
and newspapers. The water was emptied into
the bay aud the bottle was filled with water
from the bay to be sent back, with bottle OF
California wine and another Of native brandy,
and some letters and newspapers. The trunk
will be shipped back to Halifax by the same
route it came. 1t will reach its point OF destl-
nation in eight days"
A PLUcKY EDITOR We had hoped to be
able to keep our readers, even during the prev
aence of the epidemic, posted Cd the news OF
the day, but, as We have before stated, nearly
all our attaches are sick, and We have been
forced to reduce reading matter to three col
umns; all the telegraph operators are down
with the fever, and We are consequently unable
to obtain the press dispatches; and, finally, the
mails from many localities have been stopped,
aud our exchange list thereby greatly reduced
Under these circumstances, We can do nothing
moro than furnish the local news Of this city,
and the Times of late has appeared more like a
neurological record than a newspaper. How
ever SO long as we can find a man in town who
can and will set type, and while single mem

Az AMrRICAN DIrFICULTY,

A very extraordinary case, remarks Tue
Pail Mall Gazette of July 10Th, was be-
fore Sir Thomas Henry, at Bow street,
yesterday. Col. Eugene Edward Fairfax
williamson. described as an American
citizen, and formerly OF the Confederate
Army, was charged with attempting to
extort $50 los. from Mr.. Adolph Rosen-
baum, OF No. Bloombury square, by
menaces, and by melting people to an
noy the prosecutor, by calling at his res
idence. The prisoner had been appre-
hended on a warrant, and was unde-
Tended. George Lewis, for the prosecu-
tion, said that for some time past the
prosecutor and his wife had been annoyed
by the receipt OF letters signed "Ven-
geance, and by the visits Of strangers
TO their house at all hours of the day
and night. to keep appointments which
they said the prosecutor had made with
them. Hundreds of people had so called,
many Of them having come up from the
country at great Inconvenience and ex-
pense, and his client and his wife had
been driven almost TO the verge OF mad
ness by this unceasing persecution.
Some OF them had come TO dine, or to
luncheon, or to evening gatherings; 9th
ers came to accept situations which had
been offered them in Mr.. Rosenbaum's 5
name. Concurrently there came repeated
letters from Vengeance demanding
sum Of fifty guineas as the price OF
peace, and threatening still greater an.
noyance il this demand was not acceded
to at once; the demand to be raised to
seventy guineas in week or two, If the
money was not paid. At length. susspi.
cion was aroused. On Sunday last, when
the usual streams Of people were calling
at his house, the prosecutor observed the
prisoner standing at the window OF the
next house, watching the arrivals. de
was at once recognised "a former iodgel
in Mr.. Rosenbaum's house, and tn
thought flashed upon the latter that tins
person was the writer Of all these anony
nous letters, and the cause OF all tn
annoyance to which he had been exposed
The police, acting upon this information
made inquiries. and found letter in tn
prisoners lodgings, evidently in the sam
handwriting as that OF the anonymou
productions. Some evidence was given
aud the prisoner, who altogether denie
the charge, was remanded to CUSTODY
He proved that he was in possession Q
ample means, and therefore could nav
no object in seeking to extort money.
