The very virtuous and truthful individual
who is at present controlling the destlnieS oi
mankind through the columns of the Marys-
Vile Express 'takes on" fearfnlly at our per
sistency in stating facts about Col Iompkins
and the Folsom Railroad He tears his hair
and rends his clothes, and in his blind rage
wanders out upon sea of uncertainty to
6r5 If no can. some wretch who has dared
to assault the private character, or impeach
the integrity of his candidate for Mayor. He
defends where the is no attack In his de


rium, he fancies himself standing over the
slaughtered corse of Tompkins, and plays
Mark Antony to our Brutus. He holds up
the mantle of the illustrous dead, and ex-
claims: Through this the well beloved
Brutus stabbed lie would fain devour
the Tompkins-opposing world He is very

and diet this errant Knight No good will
come of this pother-we. shall have blood,
letting in good earnest, and many among us
may be slain, if this chivalric defender Of pri.
vate character does not have his digestion
regulated.


The fact that we called Col. Tompkins a
Folsom Railroad man, and argued that the
building of the other road was much more
desirable, and would be more advantageous
to the. city, is no reason for all this out
cry. Does the crusher of worlds who scrib.
bles for the Express think it a crime to be a
Folsom Railroad man? We do not 1t is a
question of policy, and not of morality-this
railroad matter. Col. Tompkins may really
think that the Folsom road will be more ad-
yantageous to Marysyille, than would the
other route. lie has an undoubted right to
his opinion. We cannot be prevented from
differing with him, simply because he is
running for office, for if it were otherwise,
we should be almost all tile time of Col.
Tompkins' opinion on everything


Any assertions to the effect that We have
assailed Col Tompkins' private character, or
questioned his integrity, or charged him with
anything which we thought would do him
injustice, come from what source they may,
are stupidity false, and grotesquely absurd.
We sincerely hope that if such assertions are
made hereafter we may be able to attribute
them either to drunkenness or insanity, rnth-
er than to a deliberate intention to grossly
and malieiously distort courteous and proper
language

CURIosITY-The head horns and teeth of
n full grown elk and stone Of an oblong
shape about one pound in weight, was found
on Mr.. Munselps ranch, at Princeton, Colusi
county, on the Sth inst, imbedded in a large
oak tree about four feet in diameter, all in
perfect share and in sound timber. This dis
covery was made by opening the tree with a
blast of powder. The horns and skull can
be seen on the ranch; the teeth have been

The Mourn VERNON PuRcuAsE-The st.
Louis correspondent of the Bulletin says that
the Legislature of Missouri has appropriated,
by resolution, two thousand dollars to the
purchase of Mount Vernon-the amount,
doubtless, to be remitted to the Lady Presi,
dent of the Association. This is the first in
stance in which the aid of a State Legislature
has been extended to the ladies who are so
nobly eXerting themselves to rescue the home
and tomb Of the Father Of his country from
threatening desecration; and the precedent,
now that it is established, will be followed,
doubtless, in the capitals of other States-
What is the California Legislature doing in
this matter If each one should follow the
example of Missouri and appropriate an
equal amount, the sum thus acquired will be
sufficient to pey off what is still outstanding
on the price asked by the present occupant
of Mount Vernon.

CoNsIsrENT-The Bolter organ is very
careful to remind its readers every day that
the G Gwinites favored, by resolution, the San
Francisco and Marysville road, Why is this
if the Folsom road, of which Col. Tompkins
is Director, is equally as desirable as the
other. 1t is really laughable to think of run
ming Col. Tompkins upon those resolutions
He is for any and all railroads, particularly
the San Francisco and Marysville Railroad,
but is Director and large stockholder in the
Folsom road. His own party Convention say,
by resolution, that our road is the most feast
bic and desirable but still they nominate
Col. Tompkins for Mayor. 1t may be very
wrong to speak of this, but We shall continue
to do So frequently, for fear that some may
have faile to observe what IS going on.

The STAR SHINES UPON Us.-The Sacramen
to Star, administration which object still
fliekers notwithstanding the uprising of tho
Standard, alludes to an appellation made by
us to the party with which we are working
and becomes sarcastieally funny at our ex-
pense. The wag who edits the Star thus
speaks of us:


1T is the fact of its styling its party the
Peoples Anti-Lecompton Democratic Par
ty." This is what we call getting right"
for their side of the house, or rather a step
towards it. Heretofore, the Marysville Ma
TIoNAL Democrat has been want to call its
friends the Democrats and the Douglas Dem
ocrats now it has tackled on the former cog
nomen that we see above Eventually, how
easy it will be to drop off the Democratic
and then the Anti-Lecompton and thus be
nicely settled down into the Peoples Party
a naire which is equivalent to Anti-Dem
ocratic"


We are happy to think that "the PEOPLE
are antagonistic to such democracy" as the
Star and all its genus do and shall advocate

WAR TALK.-The newspapers of England
and the United States have INDUCED in a
great deal Of furious yaporing over the San
Juan Island dispute, but there is really no
sound reason to believe that such trfle
will cause war between the two nations
If the ranch in question was claimed by
two individuals, instead of by two great
governments, the ownership would speedily
be decided by peaceful litigation and shall
the two most progressive and closest allied
peoples on earth act less nationally? We
believe that they will proceed calmly and
temperately to an equitable adjustment of
the difficulty, and have no respect for that
class of journals, on both sides of the At
lantic, which is ever ready to blow the
smouldering GOALS of national antipathy
The mere idea that war is possible between
the two nations should not be tolerated.
Every patriot and lover Of humanity must
contemplate such possibility with sicken-
ing horror, for besides the immediate slaugh-
ter and ruin, and wide spread misery that
must inevitably attend struggle between
England and America, it would retard civ
ilization and the cause of earths suffering
masses at least century, and add new vi
tality to that fell military Spirit whose sus-
tenance is blood and anguish.

The CENTRAL RoUTE.-Col. Lander, the

1t has been customary for romance, as well
as other writers, to accompany their works
with preface. This is generally tedious
affair. To write even page that would not
be read wonld be labor for nothing. To avoid
being tedious, when commenced this work, !
made up my mind to throw enough magne-
tism into it to make every chapter profitable
and entertaining.


The Story, from beginning to end, is based
upon facts CLEANED from the memory OF per-
sons yet residing in the vecinity where the
events narrated transpired and who vsill re-
eognize some of theirown language very close

That Mrs. Bachelor and her tribe of plum
derers anil gamblers did keep the citizens Of
Wilmington in continual dread and that she

suffered from their depredations.


With this brief alluson, TO the matter con-
tanned in the following pages, throw this
little work upon the sea of literature, TO sink

TERRIBLE SCENE-Among the prisoners
who recently escaped from the Columbus (O.)
Jail, were two men imprisoned for the murder
of Henry Korrel, in June last, named Conrad
Seibold and John Fronenberger. On Saturday
last, the officers got on the track of Seibold,
who was running across a field, and after a
, chase OF hours, the pursued occasionally stop
ping to threaten his pursuers with his pistols,
the scene closed as follows, as we find it in the
Ohio Statesman of the Sd inst:


"Seibold finally got on the track of the Cen
tral Ohio Railroad, and took refuge in the first
bridge over Alum Creek about three miles
east of this city. Seibold went over to the
east side of the bridge, stopped and swore he
would Kill the first man who attempted to cross
the bridge, at the same time pointing his cooked
pistols at the officers, who attempted to per-
suade him to lay down his arms and submit,
promising to treat him kindly, and using every
possible argument. Seibold told them he
would give them twice the amount of the re-
ward If they would let him go, and that he
would never be taken alive. Half an hour
was thus spent i'll parleying, when the officers
sent to neighboring farm house and procured
loaded rifle, with which they hoped to intm-
date him. But the desperate man was not to
be intimidated Officer White toek the rifle
and called upon him to surrender saying that
they were determined to arrest him, dead or
alive. To this Sebold made no reply, but
stepped to the end of the bridge, where the
stone embankment is about twenty feet high.
As the officer was about to raise the gun to his
shoulder, Seibold turned his back to the crowd,
placed the muzzle of his single barrel pistol be-
ween his teeth, fired, and fell headIong down
