FROM FOLSOM - A correspondent, writing from Folsom under date of yesterday, says: "In the Union and the Record of this morning appears an article in reference to the ferreting out and arrest of a gang of desperados, recently in this locality. The principal actors in the whole move are ignored, and as they are officers of this town, it is no more than a simple act of justice that they should have due credit. The clue for the arrest of MARTIN was given to BAILEY, Constable of Shingle Springs, by J.T. HILL of Folsom, the first mover in the whole proceedings. RILEY, Constable of Folsom., who took a very active Part is not mentioned. Had it not been for the shrewdness of HILL and BAILEY in tracing out the matter, nothing would have been known to lead to the arrest of the gang." LECTURE - Pro. GILLIARDS lecture, at the colored church on Fifth street, was well attended last night ,the subject of his discourse being ," the Future of the Colored race in America." This lecture is a fine literary production, and was well delivered - better in fact, than a majority of Caucasian speakers are in the habit of acquitting themselves, on such occasions. The audience in addition to being large, was enthusiastic. The Professor will soon lecture again in this city, but on another subject. MYSTERY EXPLAINED - As we flatter ourself that we write at least a moderately legible hand, we were at a loss, last evening, to imagine how it was that the BEE in stating the apportionment of money received for poll taxes, said "Funeral Fund" when it should have said "General Fund." The copy was all right - why then such a blunder? The mystery was explained this morning. The compositor who set up the item is one of the State Capital Reporter's "subs." Satisfactory! TURNER HALL - Last evening, the Trustees of the Turn Verein Hall Association met and opened bids submitted for constructing the proposed addition to the Hall - the addition to have a frontage of 54 feet, a depth of 115 feet and a hight (sic)of 27 feet. The proposals were: J.C. GIBSON, $16,979; P.A. MILLER, $17,200; B.F. ALEXANDER, $14,500; J.W. WHITMORE, $15 ,975. A selection from among the proposals has not yet been made. SUPREME COURT - People vs. CHAMBERS: ordered that respondent have thirty days further time to file brief. Inimitable Copper Mining Company vs. Union Copper Mining Company; on motion and filing satisfaction, ordered that appellant have fifteen days from May 15th to file brief. MOULTRIE vs. BROPHY; on motion and filing stipulation, ordered that appellant have twenty days further time to file brief. UNION PICNIC - The first picnic of the Congregational and Presbyterian Sunday Schools is coming off, to-day, in a grove near Folsom. The train which started soon after nine o'clock, consisted of three passenger cars, as many flat cars and a baggage car. They are having a delightful day for their excursion. VERDICT - In the Sixth District Court yesterday, in the suit of NORRIS vs .ELLIOTT, brought for the recovery of $20,000 as damages for alleged slander, the jury, after consulting half an hour, brought in a verdict for plaintiff for one thousand dollars. A stay of proceedings was granted for thirty days. DEPARTED THIS LIFE - At ten minutes before 5 o'clock, this morning, Commodore Newton WOODWARD expired on board the hulk Antelope, which lies against the Yolo bank in Washington. Deceased was well known in this community, having for years been in the employ of the California Steam Navigation Company - his special place being that of watchman on board the hulk on which he died. For several years past, WOODWARD has suffered severely from rheumatism, but his complaint did not assume a very serious form till about a week ago. Yesterday, on being visited by General REDINGTON, he got up and remarked, "I feel much better. I think I will be all right to-morrow." To -morrow found his spirit in the other world. Many friends here and hereabouts will regret and mourn poor Newt's departure. No more will his skillful hand grasp the tiller of his pride, the yacht "Pride of the Capital," nor will it ever again apply the match to the gun which has so often loudly spoken in honor of Union victories, etc. The gun is silent to-day - and the boat, tied to the bank, sways idly to and fro in the current of the Sacramento. Newton WOODWARD was a native of Augusta, Maine, and 55 years of age at the time of his death. He came to California in the ship J.D. Thompson, which sailed from Bath, Maine, in 1849 or ë50. Out of respect to the memory of Newt, the flag at the Olive Branch in Washington is flying at half-mast.
