But Bigier was nominated by a dec! majority on the first mont exrcest in opporing him came forward aud pieiged themeclees to support the nomination.

Bat very few females leave, so that at least one-third of the net increase during the past half year hes been of the gentler fex: a circumstance greatly conducive to the perma meuce and amelioration of society in the State.

A yong, and bean- tifal woman Jay on the floor, in white night clothes, flgating almost in her own blood. Her throat was severed from ear to ear, cut with a razor, and her head almost divided in twain, from the blow of a sharp axe—the”weapon lay across her bare limbs, and the razor was on the floor. The bed and wall, floor, chairs and every thing were bespattered with blood. In Bxpam vets to a tgs a en mseebs bend nearly split open. This to enry E.

Strible, a brother of the other parties with his throat, as it first appeared, cut from ear to ear. The truth of the matter appears ‘to be, that, for some little thme, there has been an unkind fecling existing between the brothers, end the night in question Joseph went to his brother's house for the sole pi of murdering him. He went into the room where peg and his wife were asleep, and in so doing awoke Mrs. Strible. I appears ke did not intend w kill her, but awakening, she screamed and aroused her husband, when Joseph struck her with the axe, and then attacked ‘his orother. After, as he supposed, he had killed Henry, kerreturned to Mrs. 8.,and made sure of kis hellish work by cut- ting her throat. He then, to finish the whole thing, went out and laid down en a pile of shavings, and, as he supposed, cut his ewn throat,so asto cause his death; but in this he was mistaken, as he now lives at the time of writing this; and there is a chance of his recovery Henry wes alive at twelve o'clock on Tuesday, bet no hopes ‘are entertained of his recovery. While Joseph supposed he was dying, he called fora pencil and paper, and wrote-—“I struck her first, and him after; I wert to Kill him; he has not used me well; was A ph tempted to examine him, when he pu ea and in ne to the question—*Do you want to d he bowed his head.

The lump has since been melted, and 35 pounds 5 ounces of gold, worth $17 oe ounce, taken from it—giving a value of $7,021. This great pe was taken from Hopkins’ creek, six feet below the surface, by ohn B. Knapp, of the Vermont Ocgppany, numbering four men.

The election for Delegate to Congress, members of the Legislature and county officers, took place on the 6th of June. Although the returns from al parts of the Territory are not complete, they are suf- ficient to.snow that General Lane has been chosen Delegate over Skinner by from 1,500 to 2,000 ma- jority. The following is the vote as far as heard it orted Majorities for Lane.—In Marin county, 450; Polk county, 150; \enton county, 100; Linn county, 300; Lane county, 200; Ciackarmas county, 236; Clatsop, 20.

The Oregonian of June 11 says:—'We have relia- ble information from the Upper Willamette valley, that the inhabitants have been recently taken wit a perfect stampede, and are leaving night and day for the new placers. It is said that men are making from fifteen to one hundred dollars per day. The mines are said to be within forty miles of Salem, on the head waters of the Santiam.” The Portiand Commercial of June 16 adds:—‘Some little excite- ment was produced in the part of this week, by the sudden appearance of several of the principal merchants from the vicinity of the El Dorado of Oregon, who became liberal purchasers of provis- ions, &c. As hear as we can learn, the head waters of the Santiam, about forty miles east of Siem, is the place assigned for the new mines. Quite a num- ber left Portland yesterday for that place.

The Legislative Dificulties—Formation @& a New Chamber of Commerce—Yellow Faber—The Government of the Colony—Rumored Change of Governors, §e., §c. T avail myself of the departure of the Northern Light, to string together a few lines for the perusal of the readers of the Hzraxp. I wish I could report a more ‘tory state of things than existed at the date of fry last advices, but unfortunately I cannot; for there appears as lit- tle probability as when last I wrote of differences being adjusted. The opinions of the London press 80 strongly expressed in favor of the Assembly, with perhaps the solitary exception of the Morning Chronicle, have animated the supporters of the As- | sembly with new vigor. The Governor is supposed te have received despatches, but their contents have not transpired, and if I am correctly informed, up to this moment they have not been submitted to the Privy Council. A prorogation is momentarily ex- pected, that the instructions of the government may be laid before the Assembly; for, having come to a resolution to do no farther business with the council, that resolution must be got rid of before anything in the shape of legislation can be entertained. It occurs to me there are but two courses left the Governor, either to prorogue or dissolve; but from the present tone of public feeling, it is certain to my mind nothing will be accepted as satisfactory but the yieldmg of the Council. Meanwhile, of course, we remain with- outa revenue. Since the 30th April Kingston has, | aceidentally, become a free port. I shall not fail to keep you well informed on this important topic. There are few other matters of importance on | which to write. The leading merchants of Kingston have formed an Exchange and Jamaica Chamber of Commerce, the object of which is to settle disputes by arbitration, to collect statistics, and to watch over the mercantile and general interests of the country. The Mayor of Kingston, the Hon, Philip Lawrence, has been elected President; Jeremiah Daycroft Esq., Vice-President; and Benjamin A. Franklin, Esq., Treasurer. full operation, promises to do well. The yellow fever, I am pleased to say, has very considerably abated. There have, unfortunately, been many deaths, and I trust the malady will soon disap- ear. u ‘The weather is oppressively hot in Kingston and other sea port towns, but in some of the higher mountain districts it is as usual pleasant. Excepting the yellow fever, which is principally confined to Europeans, the Island is pretty healthy. There are a few cases of ordinary fever quite natural in this ener, but nothing at all calculated to create alann. ‘There is a rumor very the last steamer from Cordor interest is tah In copper pecimens of ore have been proe’ nue to 7 for the "4 on held fora high- g io a ratio consider ary consumptiop. f cayendish have chynged han opsration in leaf took place e, but wo bave beon unable he cost of one railway passenger carsis, on an a ge, 0.

Wholevale loss of life, either by railroad massacres or steamboat explosions and collisions, are of late so common, that Iam fully aware the recent melan-* choly accident at this place has ceased to exeite any attention or consideration elsewhere; yet, te ® per- son here on the spot, standing on the bridge, within a few yards of the log where for twenty hours a fel- low creature clung, in the vain hope that be might be rescued from the foaming abyss down which the water was madly rushing, an interest attaches tothe affair which the few days which have intervened cannot permit me to pass over without alluding to it It seems incredible that the man could not have been saved. Although the rapids between the log on which he sat and the bridge are perhaps the worst in the river, still, between the log and the smali idland parallel to it, the water is comparatively calm, and as the space is not more, at the furthest, than two hundred yards, it would have been apparently no very difficult task to have attached a rope to the man from the bridge, and then had another repe from that to the island, and the force of the current would have swang him to it. Tobe sure, it is easy now to suggest a plan, and the public may naturally take it for granted tbat the best means were adopted . But the people residing here do not think 90. It ap- pears some wealthy gentleman, and I wish Teould give his name, for condact like his proves that hu- man nature is not all depraved—left here on the morning of the occurrence, a thousand dollars for the rescue of the unfortunate man, the gentleman himself not being ab'e to await the issue. Some par- | ties here, anxious to obtain the reward, at onee took. the direction of the whole affair, and would neither permit any interference, or listen to any advice. The result proved that their cupidity was only exceeded. by their bungling. The cool courage and bearing of the unhappy man is spoken of in the highest terms by all who | witnessed his terrible trial. He is represented to have worked as coolly when clinging to the log, ag if he had been ashore; taking off his coat and boots, and using every exertion to get the raft properly se- cured. On the raft he stood up, breasting the water; and even when the boat, stupidly sent down to him after he had fixed himself on the raft, knocked him into the water, he continued to swim to the very brink of the precipice, when, almost standing up, and with a last frantic effort to cling to some sup- port, he was burried into eternity. His courage de T have conversed with a great many who witnessed the whole drama. They say that when he was knocked by the boat off the raft ly scream, transiixing the hun: he gave one unca dreds of spect. ments, he w on as if triumph victim was not by birth.
