parties engaged were Justice A. Gorham and
Dr. J. W. Hunter. They fought at ten paces,

Judge Gorham, not injuring him seriously,
however.
By the upsetting of a boat, fcur lives were
lost in the bay at San Louis Obisco, and atr.ong

Tefft, of San laruis District.
lion. H. A. Crabb, a member of the Assembly
from the county of San Joaquin, introduced into
that body, a bill " respecting fugitives from
labor and slaves brought to this State prior to
her admission into the Union,'' which, after
debate and amendment, finally passed that
body. It is, in brief, the application of the
Fugitive Slave 1-aw of the last Congress to
the officers of the State Government.
A daring robbery was committed on the
night of February 12th, in the office of the
I'acific Mail {Steamship Company. The robber
entered by the door on Liedersiiorfl street.
He entered the apartments where ten or
twelve gentlemen were sleeping, carried their
clothes into a passage and rifled their pockets
of money, getting little however. One of the
sleepers was aroused by his entrance and gave
the alarm, but the robber escaped.
A man named J. L. Biscoe, from Sidney,

By the steamer El Dorado, we have San
Francisco dates of February 14th. We subjoin
such news as the papers contain, not already
reported by the Daniel Webster.
The steamer Warren was lost on the night
of the 31st of January, inside the bar at As
toria, on a sand drift known as Glatsop Split,
where she was beached as the only means of
saving thp lives of the passengers. A boat
was despatched to the shore for succor, but be
fore assistance could reach the doomed vessel,
she had broken up and gone to pieces, carrying
down forty-two officers, passengers and crew,
among whom was Captain Thompson. The
ten who manned the boat to procure assistance
from siiore were the only persons saved.
Immediately following the news fit the wreck
of the Warren, we have an account of the loss
of the steam propeller tSea Gull, Captain Tich
enor. This vessel was also engaged in the
Oregon and Nortli California trade, and was
lost on the bar at Humboldt Bay. She, like
the Warren, was beached in order to save the
passengers and crew, utid fortunately with
more success. All were landed in safety.
The cargo and machinery were saved, although
the vessel is a complete wreck.
The Quartermaster's schooner, Captain
Lincoln, with a detacimient of U. S. troops,
and supplies for the post at Port Oxford, was
cast away on the 2d ult_, near the uioulh of the
Lowes river. No lives lost.
Although the winter is nearly over, very
littie rain has fallen, and the weather continues
very delightful. In this respect there is hut
little difference between this season and last.
The mine? are continuing to give a steady
yield, and new discoveries are being made daily
—although there are loud complaints of the
want of ram. Owing to the defective ma
chinery employed in extracting gold from
quartz, neraly all the companies organized
lor that purpose have failed to realize their
expectations.
Agriculture has received a large share of
attention during the last fortnight. Immense
crops of barley, onions, potatoes, and ali kinds
of vegetables, will be raised this year in all
parts of the State. Indeed, it is expected that
we shall he able to produce as much as will be
required for home consumption.
Another attempt is being made to have a
convention called lo revise the constitution,
and it is thoHght that the object of the sup
porters of this movement is to make California
a slave State. The movemcn*. has been gener
ally condemned.
The country is quiet. Considerable appre
hension is felt, in all the mining and farming
districts, that the winter rains are over.
Water was never more required in the mines
than now. Appearances indicate that we shall
yet have many days of wet weather before the
iong dry summer fairly sets in.
In Oregon ail is quiet. The squabble be
tween the Legislative body arid the Judiciary,
about the location of the seat of government,
continues. Our dates are to the 7th instant.
DIABOLICAL Arnr. —On Monday night of last
week a dwelling in Petersburg, Perry county,
occupied by the heirs of Jacob Ivriser and
partly by Messrs. Kinter & Sponsler, mer
chants, was blown up. A large quantity ol
powder bad been placed under the building by
some wicked wretch and a slow match placed
to it. The explosion was heard two miles
distance, and although the house and store
goods were completely ruined, the widow o'
the deceased anil three young females asleep
m the house escaped uninjured. The house
was made a perfect wreck, and hv the timely
arrival of the citizens the fire was put out.
The powder used for the purpose had been
stolen from the warehouse some days previous.
Geo. Kmter, one of the firm, offered S2OO for
the arrest and conviction of the person or per
sons who were instrumental in blowing up the
building—and soon after the reward wasoffered,
said Kmter wan arrested as the perpetrator of
the act, and is now under hail fur his appear
"nee to answer at the next court.—Ferry

SUSPECTED MURDER AT READING. — The
Reading Democrat, of Saturday, eays On
Wednesday, the 3d instant, the dead body ot
a German pedler, who suddenly disappeared
from the neighborhood of Bern township, some
time last Fall, was found in the Schuylkill
river, at Felix's Dam. The body was consider
ably decayed, and had apparently lain in the
water a long lime. It appears that during the
Fall, a dog which was known to have belonged
to the deceased, was observed for weeks wan
dering about in the woods near where the body
was discovered, howling pitieously, although
repeated attempts were made to shoot him, and
drive him away, still haunting the spot with a
pertinacity which excited the curiosity of the
neighbors and gave rise to suspicion that foul
play had befallen his master. After the body
was found, l)r. John Spartz mads an examin
ation, and discovered unmistakeable marks of
a ritle bail. All the circumstances of this sad
case lead to the belief that plunder was the
cause of the murder. The villain who com
mitted the bloody deed could have no other
object than the possession of the valuable watch
es, rings, and other jewelry that the pedler
was known to carry with him. He was prob
ably shot near the spot where the dog already
alluded to remained, and his body, after having
been stripped of all Ins valuables, dragged to
the dam, a mile distant, and thrown into the
water, to obhteraate all traces of the horrible
crime.
SHOCKING TRAGEDY. —An atrocious murder
was committed at Stewarts Town, York county,
Pennsylvania, 011 the 10th instant. The vic
tim was a little girl, named Eliza Ann Busier,
daughter of Jacob Busier, a poor laborer.
The particulars are briefly these:—The family
residing ot home, consists of the parents and
four children. The father, in company with
the eldest boy, aged about 10 years, left home
early in tfie rnoining for the scene of their
daily labor. The mother left home about 7or
8 o'clock, A M., to procure some necessaries
at the store of Mr. Joel Metzel. The children
left at home during this time, were Catharine
8., a girl aged about I*2 years, the little girl
(the victim) and a child aged 1 year. Mrs. B.
had just reached her husband 011 her way home,
about 1 o'clock, P. M., ben the news was
brought that their little girl was murdered by
having her throat cut. Such proved to be the
case. The statement of Catharine B , aged
I*2, was, that she in company with the others,
were outside the door, when an old man small
in size, with grey beard, wearing a yellowish
or brown suit, somewhat ragged, a white slouch
bat. torn, came to them, seized her sister bytha
arm and led her into the house; C. heard her
sister scream twice, when she made her
escape with the babe ; she afterwards saw the
man come out and go oft". She then returned
to the house, and found her sister dead, and the
butcher kuite, with which the deed bad been
committed, laying near her, covered with blood.
She then took the child and ran off to Mr.
James Johnston, about a half mile distant, and
gave the alarm. A knife found was covered
nearly to the back with blood, and is supposed
to be the instrument used —The throat was
cut back until the knife was stopped by the
bone, both main arteries being completely
severed. The person killed was a little girl,
scarcely 10 years of age; and suspicions are
strong that site was murdered by her sister,
Catharine B. Busier, aged only I*2 years, be
cause the deceased threatened to tell her
mother that Catharine had stolen some trifling
article from the closet.

FOR RATS.— The Springfield (Ohio) Journal,
suggests the use of sulphate of lime for the de
struction of rats, for while it is a perfectly safe
article, it is much better than arsenic.
ESQUIRF..— The question is often asked, who
is entitled to the title of Esquire, in the United
States, according to usage: The answer is
plain—every man who has taken to himself a
wife!
AN OVERSEER WHIPPED BY SLAVES.— Mr.
Richard Porter, an overseer of William JJ.
Gaines, Esq., of Warrentown, Va., was severe
ly whipped on the Ist inst., near Brentsville, by
four slaves, belonging to the latter gentleman-
It appears they stripped him, tied him to a tree,
and inflicted upon him such a whipping with hick
ory rods, as it is thought may result in his death.
From the Rio Grande.
ANOTHER PIGHT. —By the arrival of the
steamship Fanny, Capt. Talbot, from the
Brazos, we have papers front Brownsville
to the 28th nit. It appears from the fol
lowing, which wc take from the American
Flag of the 28th, that another fight had
taken place between Carvajal anil the
Government troops, and that the efforts of
the revolutionists have been again defeated.
On Friday, the 20th, Carvajal crossed
the river a few miles below the Kio Gran
de City, and marched slowly up tow ards
( amargo. On Saturday, they were met
by the forces under the ".Mexican leaders ;
at that time the forces under Carvajal
amounted to an indefinite number, ranging
between 200 and 500—-reports differ so
widely—sixteen of whom were Indians ;
also a 12-pound gun and a good supply of
ammunition. Jhe Mexican forces charged
on Carvajal with uncommon impetuosity,
with 250 cavalry. On receiving the first
charge, a large body of CarvajaTs troops
broke and fled in great disorder. The
men who first commenced the stampede
are said to have composed the command of
('apt. Nunez, and were mostly if not all
Mexicans ; but in their progress tliev took
with them many Americans. These lied
the field and never returned. Those few,
not over eighty men, who stood the onset,
repulsed the charging party by the discharge
of their gun. double loaded with cannister,
making great slaughter in their ranks.
The charge was repeated three different
times with the like result. After this the
Mexican forces retired, and crossed the
San Juan river ; also, about this time the
remaining forces of Carvajal left in small
parties, it now being between 11 and 12
o'clock at night, and quite dark. In a few
hours front that time the battle field was
deserted by both contending parlies.—
When it became known lo the Mexicans
that Carvajal had left, they returned and
took possession of the ground, their oppo
nents having left their only gun, ammunition
wagon, The Mexican general also
reports one hundred and twenty stand of
arms taken at the same lime.
