A GOLDEN BULLET. in 1851, when new gold fields were be ing discovered every day in the eastern portion of California, there was a number of persons who, tired of the uncertainties of mining, were looking around through the valley for some spot to settle down in to agricultural pursuits. Several families crossed the bay from. San Francisco, and pitched their tents on either side of' San Leandro Creek, about eight miles above Oakland, at a point less than one mile from the foot the mountains. Among these settlers was a carpenter, named Robert Gilmore, originally from Pennsylvania, where he had a family.— Deserting them for a woman named Elizabeth Miller, the two proceeded to the Golden State together; and after a lot of hard knocks, we find them keeping an inn at the foot of the mountains noir San Leandro. At this time, about the only frequenters of the house were the Spaniards and -greasers ;" and as money was very scarce with them, the Gilmores did a very poor business in the way of cash. Robert Gilmore was the most consum mate scoundrel the world ever produced. He was apparently about 45 years old, and carried a face that would deceive any one. He must have belonged to a good family; for, besides a thorough education, he was polished in his manner, clean in person, and careful in dress. At a tale of want, his fine, open countenance expressed commiseration in every feature, and he would be the first man to decry villainy of any sort. Ile enjoyed the confidence of a great many of the early settlers, and his tavern was sometimes frequented by cap italists and stock dealers from San Fran cisco. It was in the early part of April, and near the hour of midnight; black clouds had been scudding along the mountain tops, and the wind was howling against the swinging sign of the "Gilwore's Ranch," as the inn was called. Big drops had commenced to fall from the heavens, and all nature seemed convulsed in agony as thunderbolt after thunderbolt reverberated through the gorge. It was a night that was long remembred. Rain bad seldom fallen so late in the season, and a thunderbolt had never been wit nessed in that valley before. Soon the water was pouring down in torrents and the creek was sending an angry flood-of fering to the bay. A horseman, dripping with wet, dashed to the inn, threw himself from his steed, and dropped with the butt of' a heavy whip on the door. "What ho ? House, I say !" he cried. Lights were lit within, the bolts thrown back, and Gilmore threw open the door of welcome to the drenched stranger, "A fearful night, sir ! You are lucky to find a shelter so soon. Take something to drive out the damp." "Thank you; I don't care if' I do," answered the guest. "And I'll be obliged to you if I can get a bed. I don't s'pose there's any use in trying to do anything for my mare, is there ?" "It won't hurt her, my dear- sir. A California horse don't want anything to keep out the damp." And the glasses were filled with liquor and drank off, Gilmore taking an inven tory of the stranger's effects. "He carried a "blacksnake" heavily loaded at the butt, as could easily be seen by the swing of the whip, as the stranger caught it near the middle, and swayed it backward and forward like the pendulum of a clock. It was only an involuntary movement; yet its motions did not escape the quick eye of the landlord. "That's a heavy whip you carry," ob served he, as the stranger looked up and caught his eye on it. "Yes, I reckon it is," answered the man laughing. "It's pretty heavy," repeated he ; and unscrewing the flange poured out on the redwood counter a mass of gold pieces. The inkeeper's eyes sparkled at the welcome sight. lle turned the old day book that was used as a register toward the guest, and striking an attitude that would have done credit to a first-class actor, he laughingly exclaimed, A bed? Ay, ye shall have the best bed the house af fords ! This castle is at your service, sir —command me " The traveler took the proffered pen, and tracrd the entry in easy, flowing hand : Isaac Askew, Supt. Yellow Jack Mine, Virginia City, Nevada. "Ah, you're from the Comstock Lode 1 How are the reines working now, sir ?" "Beyond all expectation, the richest lode in the world. But the storm still rages, and that poor mare of mine needs some care. I've rode hard to-day, and, but for the storm, would have made San Francisco my stopping place. Let us drink and let the storm take care of itself." PRINTING The miner shivered as he looked out in to the night, and drew a long breath of satisfaction that he was so securely housed from the storm. Ills dress was the or dinary one of a miner in all its outward seeming ; but as he threw off an outer coat of pilot cloth, the white shirt, stylish cut waist-coat, and carefully tied cravat, be trayed his status at a glance. Isaac Askew was one of the best met allurgists on the coast ; and to his skill and energy the success of the new mines at Gold Hill and Virginia City were mainly due. Under his management the rich deposits of silver were brought to the surface in immense quantities, an his mine was becoming famous throughout the land. Ile was now on business re lating to the company, and carried a con siderable sum or money on his person. The cupidity of the innkeeper was immediately aroused on beholding the shining mass of gold in the possession of the miner ; and although he affected a hi larity in keeping with his open manner, he was busily concocting a plan t., relieve him of it. The inn fronted towards the north at Mission San Jose and the Castro Canon road, while the rear of the buildiLg over hung the creek, with a series of piles in support. Beneath this portion of the struetuin the turbulent waters were boil ing and bubbling io a fearful manner, and threatening to carry off the frail-looking support. The miner drank and grew merry with the avaricious landlord, arid told marvel lous stories of the mines in Australia, where lie had spent a considerable portion of his life. Ile had traveled in many lantL, and told his stories with great hu mor. Among the miners of Peru and Mexico he had witnessed exciting inci dents, which lie related in rapid success. In the meantime the innkeeper plied his victim with liquor, and at length lie began to succumb to its potent influence. " I think I'll go to bed, land!ord." he muttered, his head falling on his breast wearily. " Well, come along, then, old boy, we'll take care of you," rind assisting the miner to his feet, he led him to his apartment. a room over the bar or office. "A fitting night for a good job," he muttered, " the elements are at war with all the world. And I, too ! " The miner, overcome by the liquor he had drank, was buried in profound slum ber. He grasped the whi,p tightly in his hand, as though he was aware of the ef fort being wade to rob him. no bad merely laid aside his outer clothing, and on throwing himself on the bed. had car ried it along with him. The innkeeper disappeared from the apartment, but, in a few moments he re turned, accompanied by a woman forty or forty-five years of age. She was the oppo site cf her companion in every respect ; for where his features denoted intelligence, hers were almost idiotic, except when her eyes blazed out with fury and greed at the sight of the sleeping miner. She glared 'down on him as though she were filled with a hatred nothing but death could ap pease. His money is in the whip, Liz," he whispered ; " lots of it, too." " What are you going to do with him, Bob ? " asked the woman. " Take the money, hide it securely, and .cave the rest to chance," he answered. "Chance ! Fool, would you go to jail for chance ? " the woman sneered out. " Take him by the heels and throw him into the creek. It's a fearful night, and many a man has periShed since sundown." "That's the chance I intend fur him. Do you think I'd have a lot of fellows spying about here, as they would be if his money was lost in this house. No, I ain't such a fool as that," and added, "I go in for silence ! " Amid the raging of the storm the bloody deed was committed, and the body of Isaac Agnew, the miner, with the skull crushed in by a blow from the whip he he had carried through dangers in many lands, was thrown into the tor. rent below. Towards daylight the storm ceased, and when the sun shone out on the beautiful face of nature, all evidence of a dreadful deed having been committed at the cross road inn was obliterated. * * • • "Murder will out," at least in this ease, was brought about in so summary manner as ahunst to look like the work of an avenging spirit. The public mind was agitated over the discovery of gold in Alameda county, and San Francisco was in a ferment. A nug get weighing about an ounce and a half had been found on Sau Leandro creek, and was on exhibition in 'Montgomery street. The excitement was intense, and hun dreds were leaving for the new fields daily. It was so entirely unexpected, that it carried everything by storm. The whole valley had been prospected thoroughly as was thought, long before, and not a color was found. The office in which the nugget was on exhibition was thronged with an excited crowd daily ; and on satisfying themselves as to the reality of the drift, they would strap on their blankets and break for the prominent El Dorado. The mysterious absence of Isaac Askew from his post at Virginia City, excited much surprise among the directors of the mine ; and as he had never been seen by the officers after leaving the former place, it was surmised that he had fallen in with a party of robbers who then infested the State. It was a common event in the early days, and only lasted until a new ex citement arose. A friend who had accompanied him from Australia was the only one likely to be worried about the affair. This friend, named James Price, was als) in the em ploy of the same company ; and the two men were so often seen together that they were called "the Australian brothers." Price, becoming tired alone in the moun tains, wandered from camp to camp in search of tidings of his lost partner, until he reached San Francisco. All interest was centered in the hope of finding him.— He cared not for all the gold in the country, as long as his friend was missing. They bad often perilled their lives for each other, and lie would have willingly laid down his life for that of his comrade. The What Cheer house was the favor ite resort of the honest miner, and thither he repaired. An excited state of affairs existed here also, the all-absorbing topic of conversation being the new gold dis covery. It was contended by an old gray haired miner, that the nugget exhibited was a fraud—that there was no gold on the Pacific slope like that found, or said to be found at San Leandro. Price did not sleep much that night. He was in a feverish state of excitement, and tossed on hia bed until a daylight. He then settled his bill. and took the ftrst boat for Alameda Point. where he fell in with a party of five or six old acquaint ances, and together they proceeded to wards San Leandro. Gilmore's Ranch. - was the only house open at the time as a driukit►g place ; and here were congregated the prodpect ors as Price and his party came into view. "The fraud was played tly :iorne ‘ - ,ne make money out of it," cried a man with a pick and shovel across his Moulder ; "and who would or could slake anything out of it, except a man who Ills got whisky to sell. and who'• got whisky but Bob." Here he threw hi. impletn , •nts in the ground and proposed to 5 , ,:ht filo inn keeper. When Pr;ee looked in the face of Robert Gilmore, he shook bin head, and muttered to himself. '•I ain't on the right trick, after all. If he is the man that turned that up, I might just sa well go back. - Tbe pugnacious man would toot be Ap peased, and strutted and bellowed alaint until the hostess made her appearance upon the scene, armed with the identical whip that formerly beloaged to Isaac .la kew. Pike knew it as soon an be sew it, and he uttered an exclamation that broth„ ht the attention of all to him.

Thus the peace of society is marred. of ten disrupted confidence destroyed ; friends made foes ; discord and strife created, awl all the diabolical schemes of the father of lies, used to destroy all that is lovely and of good report, furthered by the tattler, who may well be campared to the viper in the fable, that, warmed and brought to life by the care of its kindhearted bene factor. turned and stung him to the heart.
