Herald of December 2d says: Within the last four days we have seen men who three years ago would not have looked at a negro but with a scowl take the same colored individuals by the hand, and with a broad smile on their countenances wish them all manner of good luck, being sure, however, to end with the inquiry whether he did not want to go as a substitute. These same men, many of them, were those who bitterly opposed the idea of arming the negroes; but as soon as it was settled that somebody must fight - white or black - the rebel causes were willing to pay the darkies for doing their share of it. San Francisco - A dispatch to the Bee yesterday has the following: D.S. WAMBOLD, balladist, was dangerously wounded last evening by being thrown from a buggy on Montgomery street. Joseph PINKNEY was arrested last night for grand larceny. Body Recovered - The body of one BONGEY, the stage passenger who was drowned at Rocky Point (Oregon), December 4th, has been recovered. When found, he was lying on his face in the field, about two hundred yards from where the accident occurred. He was not bruised, and apparently met his death by drowning alone. He had $940 in gold on his person. He was formerly a resident of Sacramento, and was on his way to visit a brother who is in Boise. Homicide In Stockton - On the morning of December 27th, in Stockton, a Mexican named Miguel MIDELAS was shot through the head and instantly killed at the National Saloon. The deceased and others had been gambling all night, and about five o'clock A.M. a dispute arose between the Mexican and one Squire HART, with the above result. Serious Accident - While on his way from Weaverville to Douglas City, Corporal KIENSAUL, of Company C, Mountaineers, had his right leg broken below the knee-joint, by a kick from a mule which he was driving. The disabled man was brought to the Trinity County Hospital, where the broken limb was set. Siskiyou - The Yreka Journal says the cold weather has frozen up all mining operations, and business is much better for ice than gold. When the thaw does come, however, mining will be livelier than it has been for a number of years. Scotland - A fearful storm raged in Scotland lately. An immense amount of damage was done. In some places there were floods, which carried off great quantities of property; in others there was a serious loss of life. Stockton Daily Record - This is the title of a paper which has come to hand and published by Edwin O. JUDD and George E. ROLLAND. It will be independent, but will sail under the Union flag, and do what it can to have our banner wave in triumph over foreign and domestic foes. It adds: We shall give the Administration a cordial support in all its constitutional efforts to secure the permanent Union, peace and prosperity of every State under the Constitution. We shall stand by the Administration, while it re-establishes a republican form of government upon the soil of Mexico, and sends Maximilian, the tool of Napoleon, back to his master. We shall never cease to urge the Administration to compel John BULL to pay every dollar of damage which the ships fitted out in his ports have done to our commerce. We shall be in favor of treating Louis NAPOLEON as he deserves; and as for the various questions that may arise, we shall discuss them freely and fearlessly, as far as our ability goes, and shall be for the affirmative or negative, as we believe they will or not be for the benefit of our whole country. A Desperado Shot - The Nevada Transcript of December 27th gives the following particulars in regard to the killing of a desperado, who affected to be exceedingly chivalrous: We learn from H. PLACE that a shooting affair took place at Washington, on Saturday, between Joseph COIN and Henry BURNS, resulting in the death of the latter. BURNS was a Chiv., noted for reckless disregard of human life, having killed one or more persons in affrays, and was the terror of the community. About twelve o'clock, Saturday, he picked up a fuss with COIN - who is a peaceable miner - in a saloon, and threatened him, when COIN procured a pistol. BURNS met COIN again in the street and commenced an attack upon him, when COIN fired twice, mortally wounding BURNS, who died at three o'clock on Monday morning. COIN was examined before Justice ROOT and discharged, his act being clearly in self-defense. Horse Stolen - Judge C. HARISON, of Napa, had a fine horse stolen from his stables lately. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ CA-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
