[From the Alta California, April 15.] We have followed the Cag set us at the East by dec! a “slave case.” The boy claimed as @ slave was set at liberty. There was no evidence further than that he was Mr. Calloway’s slave in Missouri. He was discharged. Judge Morrisson, of the Court of Sessions, has > his office, although three years of his term remain. Some of our streets have been lighted by the sub- scriptions of individuals residing or doing business upon them. Montgomery Merchant streets are thus made passable, sate, and pleasant at night. The examination of Slater, accused of the as- sassination of bet oy Jarvis, at the Mission Do- lores, caused no little excitement, and a rush was made to take him from the hands of the police, but with no effect. The prisoner was committed to await the action of the Grand Jury. : Lat oy were iene in Smeg feta attempt- ing a burglary, by Captain who was expect- ing and matelfan tor ¢ em. One was killed w tho spot; his name was Joe Ogden; the other, Geo. Morton, was shot in his leg, had his leg amputated, but died subsequently. Captain Ward was cleared ofall blame. Some effort has heen made by a citizen, Mr A. D. Merrifield, to obtain the. palvalage of supplying the city with water, by introducing it in pipes from a lake about three mi'es distant. Nothing particularly new respecting the Indian commissioners, and their progress in treaties with the savages. Gon.

But the majority of the committee re- ported against it. The mail steamer Oregon arrived on the after- noon of the 2d inst., brin, ‘3 the news from the States to as late a dato as Feb. 28th. The report of probable Lge nm by Congress for the bene- fit of California, had a great efect in momentarily rupnirg up State serip. But it run down again | very soon. General Persifer F. Smith has been ordered to Texas, and goes home in the steamer to-day. A great deal of dissatisfaction has been felt and exhibited respecting the issue and circulation of private coins, below their faco 'valuo of real value, and which the coiners refuse to redeem. It is looked upon as an infamous swindle, by the com- ALD AAA te ly ay @ SUNDAY MORNING, MAY 18, 1851. was a slave of Mr. Calloway. The admission of the boy that he is a slave, is entirely inadmissable ; forif his testimony cannot be taken in his favor, it should not be st him. Upon these considera- tions, his Honor came to the cobclusion that the prisoner was illegally detained, and arcordingly ordered his discharge. News from Sacramento Valley. We learn that a lynching affair came off at Brown’s bar, on Weber creek. A man named An- drew Scott, from St. Genevieve, Mo., murdered his partner, Mr. Baker, by inflicting five severe stabs with a knife, cither of which would have caused death. The act was committed without the least provocation. Scott was tried by a jury of twelve nen, who decided that he should be hung, which was immediately carried into execution. Charles H. Blackmer died very suddenly at Beni- cia, on last Thursday morning. The Times, in its news from Nevada, has an ac- count of tho lynching of three men, Miller, Al- Jen, and Rigley, who were concerned in robbing pa ir 8f $3,000 some time since. They con- fessed t robbing, and stated that they had lost about half the amount at monte. Risley received thirty-nine lashes, and Allen and Miller twenty each, well laid on. They were required to imme- diately leave the country. ‘The mining operations in that vicinity are prose- cuted witn great success. The mg Loaf Tunnel, after having been prosecuted for feet, encoun- tered a lead that does not prove very rich. A cold- blooded murder has been committed near Port Adams, in Calaveras county. The body of Mr. 'W. C. Babbitt, late of Morgan county, Ill., was found in jail canyon, near that . The ceased was shot in the left breast and the temples; one of bis hands was also badly cut. On Friday last, snow fell to the depth of eight feet in Onion Valley, on Feather river, about one hundred miles above Marysville. ‘The.tributaries of Feather river have been greatly swollen by the late rains. Considerable snow has fallen recently at Toll’s Diggings, and all along the south fork of Foather river, but not enough to im) mining. " Transcrij ron the following account of a murder by the In — We learn by a gentleman who came down yesterday, that the Indians have grown ex troublesome in the region (f Wyandotte City, which is situated in the Honcut country, near one of the tributaries of Feather river. About two years since, a miner who was out pros- peeting, was shot’ by some Indians. His body was found pierced with « number of arrows. and the impres- sion seemed to be general that he had been killed by the Indians for his money. As soon as the dead body of the white man was found, a number of the miners armed themselves and proceeded to a rancherie some eight or ten miles dista nt. for the p 4 yurpose of vengeance. Having been discovered, the Indians took to the hills, leaving only ® few squaws behind. The whites set fire to their huts, and bi and tore them down. Not be- munity; the bankers have refused to receive it at its assmned value, and the merchants have taken somewhat similar action. The Legislature has a | bill before it, introduced by Mr. Miller, to oblige | coiners to redeem, and to make their refusal a mis- | demeanor, punishable with fine andimprisonment. | Our felons wie ie taney to work in ~ chain j ang, are occu pied in bui @ county jail. vi 14 robbers and highwaymen in whi this State abounds, have been making the valleys in the vici- nity of Monterey their theatre of operations of late, having tion of the whole country there, steal- ing horses and cattle, and creating a fear that Monte- | rey itself may be sacked by them in the absence of | the men, who are mostly at the mines. | The Logislature having refused to authorize the | Attorney General to enter a nolle prosegui in the | case of the squatters, their trial wou!d have come off on the 7th inst., but no judge being present, it did not occur.

Accounts are coming in, of new diseove riferous mines in various parts of the countr recent rains have also had their effect upon placer- digging, holping the gulch diggings and for a timo driving those engaged upon the rivers, from their positions. : In connection with the above we have to notice the dircovery near Benicia of « coal bed, said to be of « superior quality.

News from the San Joaquin Valley. ‘The Stockton T¥mes has been shown a letter re- coived in that city, dated “ incamp, on the Cow- chilla, March 25, 1851,” from which the following extract is made:— Wehave been among several of the Indian tribes. and mace treaties with eight different chiefs.

Murders and bes pear ac One of the most lamentable of the bloody tra dies that daily race the State, occurred at We- ber creek, near Coloma. Two Big men, named | Andrew R. Scott, and Charles O. Taker, friendsand messmates, became embroiled, from some trivial cause, when Scott assaulted Baker with a knife, and stabbed him so severely that no hope was enter- tained of his recovery. Scott was immediatel: taken into custody by the pegeines, tried, convicted, and bung on the same day. When sentence of death was pronounced, he begged to be shot, as it would break his father’s hear that his son had been hung. His prayer was not heard, and he re- ceived the ignominious fate ef a felon. Scott was intoxicated at the tims he asswulted his friend. He was from St. Genevieve, Mo. Three men, recently arrested for robbery at Ne vada, were taken from the hands of the legal au- thorities by the lace, on Friday last, and, after an informa} trial, were tied up and severely flogged. One of the mea had been discharged for want of evidence, and it was thought the others would get off likewise; and the people determined to take fhe law into their own bands, upon the principle that it was better that three innocent men should suffer than that no one should pay the penalty of crime. While undergoing flagitation one of the men con- fessed his own guilt, and implicated the others. A man named James Burns, better known as Flash Jim, about town, was arrested April 12th, charged with the murder of James Calligan. It is known that Burns had threatened the life of Calli- an several times, and they were seen together on he nee of Calligan’s death, at the PI Iphia and Baltimore Restaurant, on street. It. appears, however, that they were at that time upon very good terms, and drank together several times in the course of the evening, and there is no proof that they left the house together. On the morning following, the body of Calligan was found floating in the water near the foot of Jaskson street, and but a few rods from the house in which he boarded. ‘The house, which is kept by a man named Edwards, is built upon piles, and there being no house adjoining, it may easily be supposed that mountains. equal moda (hons.
