But I am detaining you from more important matters. Your Satur day's paper reached here at 4 o'clock, Saturday, 13th May, and as it now ap pears from the evidence taken before the coroner, several persons left Au burn on the same errand, but without any previous conference. Two of these were named respectively Charles P. Oillson and Bartholomew Graham ; or, as he was usually called,"" Black Bart." Gillson kept a saloon at the corner of Prickley Ash street and the Old Spring road; and Black Bart was In the employ of Conrad ar, Co., keep ers of the Norfolk livery stable. Gill eon was a son in•law of Ex• Governor Roberts, of lowa, and leaves a wile and two children to mourn his untime ly end. As for Graham, nothing cer tain is knbvrn of his antecedents. It is said that be was engaged in the late robbery of Wells do Fargo's; express at Grizzly Bend, and that lie was an ha. bitual gambler. Only one thing of him is certainly well known. lie was lieutenant in the Confederate army, — and aefir'zithnder Qf. rite &WV the 'outlaw quantrell. He was originally of fine education, plausible manners and good lattiilyk hut strong drink! , seetitearly,in life to have overman tered him, and left him but a wreck of himself. But he was not incapable of generous, or rather romantic acts, for during the burring of the Putnam House in this town, last summer, he rescued two ladies from the flames.— In so doing, be scorched his left hand sowiously as to ootttract the tendons of two`,llagers, and this very scar may lead to hiti apEchanaion... Tb era is doubt about his utter tiesperation of character, and if taken at all, it will probably not be alive. So much for the persons concerned in the tragedy of the Flat.

Odeon, taken in urticulo mortis by George Sampson, Notary Public: On the morning of Sunday, the 14th day of May, 1871, I left Auburn alone in search of the body of the Into (ire• gory Summertleld, who was reported to have been pushed from the cars at Cape Horn, in this county, by one Leonidas Parker, since deceased. It was not fully light when I reached the truck of the Central Pacific Railroad, Having mined at an early day on Thompson's Flat at the foot of the rocky promontory, now called Cape Horn, I was familiar with the zigzag paths lending down the steep preci pice. One was generally used as a de scent, the other as an ascent from the canyon below. I chose the latter, as being the freest from the chance of observation. It required the greatest caution to thread the narrow gorge; but I finally reached the rocky bench, about 1,(0.1 feet below the grade of the railroad. It was now broad daylight and I commenced cautiously to search for Summerfleld's body. There is quite a dense undergrowth of shrubs thereabouts, lining the interstices of the granite rocks so as to obscure the vision even at a short distance.— Brushing aside a thick manzanita bush, I beheld the dead man, at the saute instant of time that another per son arrived liko an apparition upon the spot. It was Bartholomew Gra ham, known as 'Black Bart.' We suddenly confronted each other, the skeleton of Summer.ille lying exactly between us. Our recognition was m z r tual. Graham advanced and I did the same , he stretched out his band and we greeted one another across the limonite corpse. Before releasing my band, Bart ex claimed in a hoarse whisper, 'Swear Gilboa, in the presence of the dead, that on will forever be faithful, never betray me, and do exactly as I IA too as long as you live r I looped him full in the eye. Fate sat there cold and remorseless as stone. hesitated; with his left hand he slightly raised the lapels of his coat, and grasped the handle of a navy re volver. ',',wear l' Again lie cried.

Snow, and ice, and rain, had done their work effectually 1.11)01) the exposed surfaces of his cloth mg, and the eagles had feasted upon the entrails. But underneath, the thick bearer cloth had served to pro. test the flesh, and there were, some decaying shreds left of what had once been the terrible but accomplished firegory Surnmerfield. A glance told us all these things. But they did not interest. me so much as another spec tacle, that almost froze toy blood: f In the skeleton grip of the right hand, interlaced within the clenched bones, gleamed the wide mouthed vial which was the object of our mutual visit. tiraliarn fell on his knees and attempt ed to withdraw the prize from the grasp of its dead possessor. But the Ito tlCte:% ere limo, and when he filially succeeded in securing the bottle, by a sudden wrench, 1 heard the *skeleton fingers snap like pipe-stems, 'Hold this a moment, 1 search the pockets,' he commanded. I did as directed. Ile then turned over the cicirpse, and thrusting his hand into the inner breast pocket, dragged out a roll of MSS., matted closely together and stained by the winter's rains. A fur ther search eventuated in finding a roll of small gold coin, a set of derringer pistols,a rusted double edged dirk, and a pair of silver-mounted spectacles. Hastily covering over the body with leaves and branches cut from', embrny ering shrubs, we shudderingly felt the spot. We slowly descended the gorge to ward the banks of the American river, until we arrived at a emajl but segues ter,ed thicket, where we threw ourselves upon the ground. Neither had spoken a word since we had left the ecene Above described. Graham was the first to break the silence which to me had become oppressive. 'Let us examine the vial, and see if the contents are safe.' I drew it forth from my pocket and handed it to him. 'Sealed beremetically t and perfectly secure,' he added. Sayiug this he de liberately wrapped it up in a handker• chief and placed it in his bosom. 'What shall we do with our prise?' I inquired. 'Our prize I' As 'lie said this he laughed derisively, and cast a most scornful and threatening glance to ward me, 'Yes,' I rejoined firmly 'our prize I' 'Gillson,' retorted Graham, 'you must regard use as a consummate slat• pleton' or yourself a %Gab. This bottle is mine, and mine only. It is a great fortune for one, but of less valve than a toadstool for two. lam will ing to divide fairly. This secret would be of no service to a coward. He would not dare to use it, Your share of the robbery shall be these MSS. ; you can sell them to some poor devil of a printer, and pay yourself for your day's work.' • Saying this he threw the bundle of MSS., at my feet; but I disdained to touch them. Observing this, he gath• ered them up safely aid replaced them in his pocket. 'As you are unarmed,' he said, 'it would not be safe for you to be seen in this neigborbood during daylight. We will both spend the night here, and just before morning return to Auburn. I will accompany you part of the distance. With the sang (void of a perfect des perado he then stretched hitneelf out in the shadow of a small tree, drank deeply from a whisky flagon which he produced, and pulling his hat over his eyes, was soon asleep and snoring. It was a long time before I could believe the evidence of my own senses. Fi Daily, I approached the ruffian and placed my hand on his shoulder. Ile did not stir a muscle. I listened. I heard only the deep slow breathing of profound slumber. Resolved not to be baulked and defrauded by such a scoundrel,l stealthily withdrew the vial from his pocket, and sprang to my feet just in time to hear the click of a re volver behind me. I wan betrayed! I remember only a flash and an explo sion—a deathly sensation, a whirl of the rocks and trees about me, a hid eoue imprecation from the lips of my murderer, and I fell senseless -to the earth. When I awoke to conscious ness it was past midnight. I looked up at the stars, and recognized Lyra shining full in toy face. That constel lation I knew passed the meridian at this season of the year after 12 o'clock and its slow march told me that mar y weary hours would intervene before day light. My right arm was para lyzed, but I put forth my left and it rested in a pool of my own blood. 'oh, for one drop of water I ex claimed, faintly, but only the sighing of the night responded. Again I fain• ted. Shortly after daylight I revived and crawled to the spot where I was discovered on the next day by the kind mistress of this cabin. You know the rest.

A Horrible incident A woman was arrested in the Rue de la Moquette, accused of arson, and led off to execution; her child a little girl of three or lour, followed, clinging to her mother's petticoats. No soon er had tho unfortunate woman been takitn into a court—from a trindotv looking on to which my Informpt saw what lollowed- r • than she was placed against a wall and shot. The child, which had been dragged away from its mother when the latter was led,out to be shot, fled, screaming With fright, at the report of the muskets. An officer thereupon drew his revolver and shot the child thought the back tts itP ran, killing - it instantly. This seems almost incredible, but after what I have heard I do not doubt that it is true.

The former lost the paddle while in deep water, and in reaching to get it upset the boat and both were drowned. The alarm was given by some little Kirin, and assistance was soon at baud, but it did not save thew from death. Mrs. R. was in the water only five or ten minutes, we are told, and the little girl was in forty-two minutes. The 'husband of the lady was expected on the train that night, with his two daughters, but before lie arrived the dead body of his wife Was on the return trip to the city where she had but recently left a happy home, with the prospect of a long life before her, and it may be that he and the children, full of joyful anticipations of pleasure in their mountain retreat, un consciously passed upon the road the lifeless body of the wife and mother they were going to meet.
