DROWNED MAN FUOND -- The body of a man was found on Tuesday in the Stanislaus river, a short distance below the wire suspension bridge at Knight’s Ferry. He is supposed to be a Mexican who was missing at Six-Mile Bar, some 2 months since. An inquest was held by Judge STONE, and the jury returned a verdict of accidental drowning. The body had become disfigured to such an extent as to be beyond recognition. ASSASSINATION of JOSPEH L. WHITE -- Joseph L. WHITE, formerly President of the Nicaragua Accessory Transit and Canal Company; and who endeavored 2 years since to reorganize the Nicaragua and California Steamship line, with the Hermann and Washington, on this coast; and who left New York on the 21st December, for the purpose of purchasing of the Government of Nicaragua the exclusive right of gathering India rubber; was murdered at Point Icaw, on the 5th of last month, by Jonathan GARRITT. As WHITE was passing to his hammock, suspecting no attack, GARRITT, who was reclining in another hammock in the same room, shot him with a revolver, the ball taking effect in the leg, shattering it a little below the knee. The limb was amputated; but mortification set in and on the 12th ult., 7 days after the occurrence, WHITE died. GARRITT formerly kept a crockery establishment in San Francisco, is about 40 years of age and has a wife and children in Boston. The cause of the murder was GARR! ITT had been in Nicaragua several months on the same business that WHITE was striving to attain and he feared the latter’s success. GARRIT [spelled 2 ways] is now in prison. >>Saturday, 16 Feb 1861
