LETTER FROM NOvUs HOMO.

ATLANTA, l. T., May 2, 1871
J, ED. WoRLD:-During the past week.
the population has increased fully one
third.
Messrs. Sol. Newcomer and Joseph
Pfeifer were over from Rocky Bar on
business connected with the proposed
wagon road from here to the Bar. But
there appears to be some disagree
ment. The citizens of Atlanta pro-
pose building road via Junction Bar.
This route would leave Rocky Bar
about eight or ten miles west. There
will be another meeting on the 10Th
instant, at which time one or the
other of the routes will be chosen and
men put to work Immediately. Mr..
Chesebro, from Silver City, has been
here for several days examining Mines.
He appears to be well satisfied. Thinks
as all other mining experts do-that
this is one of the best camps on the
coast. Mr.. Algewahr, Vice President.
of the Buffalo company, came in one
day last week. He is just from San
Francisco. He brought an amalga-
mator and an engineer. Will start up
the mill soon He says there is con-
siderable excitement over this place
below. Thinks there will be Cali
fornia and Nevada capital here this
summer. There have been -four pack
trains in this spring They came up.

HOMICIDE AT QUARFzBURG.


On last Friday evening Mr.. Mclr-
win and a young man by the name Of
Halsey w. Chamberlin went to the
house of Mrs. Mosher, at Quartzburg.
Mr.. McIrwin staid but short time
and departed. Soon after he went
out noise outside of the door at
tracted the attention of Mrs. Mosher,
who went to the door and opened it.
1t was dark, but she saw man there
and said cts him." Mr.. Chamberlain
advanced toward the door and received
pistol shot in the breast, turning
round he received another in the back.
He then fed to the saloon of George
Bake, rested his elbows on the coun'
ter and said he was shot, and instant
lly sank to the floor. DR.. Rothwsll w as
sent for to Placerville, three miles off
but when he arrived Chamberlain was
breathing his last. Mr.. Mosher says
it was her husband, C.B. Mosher, that
she saw. After firing a third shot
which did not take effect, the homicide
fed.
Saturday morning James w. Davl
son, Esq. came over from Placervillt
with the news and Sheriff Stewar
started Immediately across the Basin
to see if he could get any trace of Mo
sher. The shooting occurred a LITTLE
after o'clock P. NJ.
In relation to the cause of the kill
ling we can offer nothing but surmises
i Mosher and his wife had not live'
happily together for sometime
), Some time ago she commence
suit for divorce. Mr.. Moshe
said he would not resis
: the application, and it seems that a
agreement was made between ther
: that he should have the custody
, the oldest child, boy about eigh
years old, and she retain the othe
two. Two weeks ago Mosher starte
away, saying he was going below
r taking the boy with him. We unde
stand that he left the boy in Bots
Y City, and that he had not been seen
r the vicinity of Quartzburg until h
h presented himself at the door and wa
$ seen by Mrs. Mosher.
b Chamberlain, who was member
the |. o. o. F., was buried by that o
der, on Sunday, at 2 O'Clock P. NJ,
y the cemetery at Placcrville.
i Mr.. Chamberlain was quiet youn
man, aged % or 26 years, came fro
: the State of New Jersey, and has +
sided three years in the vicinity
Placerville and Quartzburg.

A BRIGHT CAPlrALIsT.-A colored res
Eident of Detroit, who occasionally
lends few dollars on good security,
was the other day invited to lend a
heighboring cobbIer $50 on note Of
hand running thirty days.
Suppose dat note comes due and
you haven't de cash?" inquired the
capitalist.
"But will have"
but s'pose you haven't"
The cobbler couldn't get over that,
and he was looking very serious,
when the capitalist got bright idea
and said:
1--WE kin fix dat. You make de
note, you see. You may be good and
you may not be. Pm good and we
bot knows it, cause here's de cash
right here. You make: de note and
III back it. | knows myself, you see,
and de capitalist who won't lend mon
ely on his own 'dersement hain't no
business head on him."
And they fixed it that way.
This reminds me of the two honest
: Dutchmen. One borrowed hundred
dollars from the other, giving his note.
After the note was signed they were
at loss to know what to do with;
+. but finally it was agreed that the ma
ker of the note should hold it till ii
. fell due, so he would know that he
l owed the money, and after payment
r was made, it should be held by the
t lender of the money so that he would
n know it was paid.
n The business was arranged accord
Il ingly.

;, pulling away at sweet fern cigar.

G as the cigar hastily disappeared be

$ "Yes, you tell 'im," rctorted the

JESSE BRADFoRD, ESQ, returned last
Sunday from Atlanta He speaks EN-
coura singly and enthusiastically OF
the mines at that place. He went
through the Buffalo and Monarch COM
panies' mines, and can't find language
to express his establishment of the ex-
IRENE richness and abundance of ores
they contain. He says the 400 feet
on the Atlanta lode sold by Capt. Bled-
soc to a San Francisco company is
worth nearer six millions than sixty
thousand dollars, the price sold for,
and he is a good Judge of mines.
Mr.. Bradford says he met Messrs
Kempner and associates, who went
out as road viewers, at Middle Boise
and that they had found some pretty
rough country to construct a road
over but the viewers thought they
were going to find a feasible pass
through. we will not anticipate, bu
await their report.
He says the Buffalo company have
$500 tons of ore on their dump; tina
thew save none that will not worl
400 per ton. He also says that ON
davis work in that mine with ten mel
is all he would ask to get all the mon
!. ey he wants.

Indian Troubles.

The Passamaquoddy tribe of Indians are con.
siderably excited over two matters in dispute be
tween them. One is the ownership Of a silver
medal. This medal was given TO the grand father
Of the late Gov. Francis by the French govern
ment. 1t appears that he lad served on board
French man of-war eleven years, and at the clos,
of his service went to France, and in considera
ton Of bis faithful services the medal was given
and il has been kept in the Francis family. Al
the last election OF Governor of the PassamaQuod-
dies the son of Gov. Francis was defeated, and
now the friends of the governor claim that
the medal belongs to the acting governor, an in
sigma of his office.
The other matter is the house occupied by the
late Gov. Francis. 1t appears that aid TO some
extent was furnished by the State in bailding the
house, and the friends of the new governor claim
that it was the intention of the State, when it
aided in building the house, that it should be the
residence OF the governor, whoever he might be
and they demand that the house shall be deliv-
cred up by the Francis family to the present gov
ernor. The Francis family claim that the aid
furnished by the State in the construction Of the
house was general in its provisions, applying to
all of the tribe. That is, that the State offered to
furnish a certain amount OF materials to be used
such aid construct houses for themselves. They
show bills from men who worked on the house,
and from dealers in lumber showing that Gov.
Francis paid a considerable part of the cost of
the house out of his own means.

the parties and is endesvoring to harmonic mat
