(Correspondence.) THE TRAGEDY ON THE PAYETTE. Payette Ferry, May 11th, 1864. Messrs. Editors : As yon have requested in your journal, that parties throughout the country would communicate with you upon any matters of. local interest transpiring in their respective vicinities I seat myself to scrawl down for the columns of the News the exact particulars, as I received them from all witnessing the affair, of an altercation which occurred here last Monday, resulting in the death of Martin Partin, oi the " Cen tral Ferry," Snake River, and the serious, though not dangerous, wounding of T. J. Favorite, one of the proprietors of this es tablishment, that is of Bluff Station and Pay ette Ferry, below the Basin, on the main line of travel to Grand Ronde and points on. the Upper Columbia. Last Winter, Mr. Favorite bought a half interest in this ranch, stage station and ferry, and immediately started below to see about the transportation of a stock of merchandise In his absence,—the Payette being fordable, as most of your readers are aware, from the middle of Summer until the melting of the mountain snows in the Spring,—-his partner obtained of the Central Ferry Company a ferry boat and rope to suspend over the river for crossing the Spring travel, entering into a contract with the Central Company to pay for the same by crossing, for a stipulated length of time, their patrons. A rival Snake river ferry company, the Olds' company, up on Mr. Favorite's return from below, also made general arrangements for the crossing of their patrons by Favorite & Co. Favorite badjpetitioned for and obtained a regular char ter, giving himself and partners the exclusive privilege of ferrying at and about Jhe " Pay ette crossing"; and certainly under it, so long as its conditions were not violated, they had a right to manage their business without outside dictation. • But the Central company seemed to think, as the first arrangement had been made by themselves, and the boat and rope had come from their establishment, that in a rush of ferrying business their customers should be crossed first. Here, then, was the origin of the fatal altercation. The deceased came to Favorite, when the river bank was lined with teams and packtrains from the rival ferries, and unconditionally demanded that his customers should be crossed first. Favor ite substantially replied, that he would man age his cwn business in his own way; that the travel should be crossed in order as it arrived, regardless of what ferry it came from. One word brought ou another, until Partin called Favorite " a liar,'* simultaneous left our and and ever was or my, ten court ient has on a olis, Boise Neros Job ©ffice B ook , c ard , and job printing office —East Hill, Idaho City. The proprietors beg leave to announce to the people of Idaho City and vicinity, that they have a varied and complete assortment of PLAIN and ORNAMENTAL JOB AND CARD TYPES , which make their facilities for executing all kinds of plain and ornamental printing unsurpassed by any office in the upper country. All orders for jobs will be executed with neatness and dispatch pg r Job Work must be paid'for before it ista^ ken from the office. ly with the utterance drawing his revolver and firing. Deceased fired the first, if not the second shot. Several shots were ex changed. At the third discharge of his re volver, Favorite shot his antagonist near the right nipple, the ball ranging in the direction of the body of the chest. Partin fell, and died shortly afterwards. Favorite received but one bullet himself, which passed through the muscle of the right arm, and lodged in the right side, inflicting only flesh wounds. This ball would undoubtedly have been fatal, had its force not been broken by passing through a heavy cloth vest and the arm be fore reaching the chest. Favorite immediate ly sent for a surgeon for Partin, and directed the following note to Justice Stringham, of Placerville: Monday, May 9th, 1864. T. J. Stringham—Honorable Sjk : Through an amanuensis, I wish to notify you of an alterca tion in which I had the misfortune to he one of the principals, resulting in the death of Martin Partin, of the Central Ferry, and the wounding of myself, and which 1 wish to have investigated in your court. My injuries are such that I am not able to report to you in person. Respectfully, T. J. Favorite, Ol Favorite & Calhoun's Ferry. But this note did not reach his Honor, as early the next morning, in company with the brother of the deceased—who was doing business in Placerville, and had received in telligence of the sad occurrence thus soon by a courier riding all of Monday night—he was hastening down here to the scene of the tragedy. His Honor convened some kind of a court at the Central Ferry on Wednesday morning, and two or three witnesses were sworn and examined, although the affair was witnessed by perhaps over a dozen spectators. As Mr. Favorite seems anxious that the case should be sifted to the bottom legally, it is thought the following interrogatories may not be out of place: 1st, Is there any precedent for a court becoming a portable institution, and moving after causes, instead of causes coming to it ? 2d, Is there any authority in our stat utes for a justice of the Peace acting, ex offi cio, as a Coroner ? 3d, If such is not the case, how did his Honor do so in this case ? (It must have been in the character of an inquest that witnesses were sworn and jury men duly impaneled, as Mr. Favorite was not cited to appear and answer any charge.) 4th, If there is such authority, how can an inquest be held on a body after its burial ? (This was done in this instance.) Mr. Edi tor, it is simply to promote justice that I ask these questions, and not to show any disre spect to his Honor. Let the law befully vin dicated. VlNDEX. LATEST FROM THE EAST. In addition to the dispatch published else where, with dates up to the 9th, we are in debted to J. L. Smith, Esq., of Wells, Fargo 'z Co., for the Mountaineer of the 14th, con ining dates to the 12tb. The dispatches are much confused, and appear to be a sequel to former reports. The Herald has the fol lowing under date of the 12th, which is the very latest and appears to be an account of a battle fought on the 10th or 11th: General orders annpuncing the success of S-herman in the West, and Butler on the James river was made to the troops which produced the wildest excitement; as the hour approached for the attack, the enthusi* asm of the troops became almost ungoverna ble. J. Grant, accompanied by his staff; Meade, Han cock and Warren, all started foi the eminence, within sight of each other, while vast.columns of 6 hr army slowly gathered together for the great struggle. Just as the attack was about to be made,the enemy advanced our right, threatening to press back that portion of the line, disconcert ing for the time, the plan of assault, Trcopa were hurried to the right, and succeded in check ing the rebels. Half past six was then fixed upon for the assault*. Watches were compared by the corps commanders.. They finally separated with orders that at an appointed hour, simultaneously, with the fire of 12 guns, the whole line should ad vance with cheers. The movement was indescri bably grand. A portion of the army moved in a solid column, while others advanced in the usual order of battle; the whole army moving together, and yet each command fightiug its own battles, when the rebel army opened a most galling and murderous fire, against which our lines marched on, and driving the enemy steadily back from tin* position, capturing nearly 3,000 prisoners and 10 pieces of artillery; the latter were however, Ire captured by the rebels. Night closed with our forces occupying the field. Our loss is heavy, but judging from the number of killed and wounded left on our hands, it is much less than that of the enemy, who fought to the last with desperation, our troops bayoneting their men iu the rific'-pits and forcing them hy a hand to hand conflict to retreat. Gen. Warren is reported to have been killed. New York, May 12.—II a. in—Gold 175. San Francisco, May 12—Legal Tenders, 59 and 60.

But it did though. When Charley Mason was Justice of the Peace in Yreka, some 12 or 13 years ago, he was betrayed into blasphe my, while holding court, and fined himself ten dollars for contempt, and aujourned tha court to drink out the amount at a conven ient bar.— Nevada Gazette.
