WRDIKXDAY MORNING MAY 37. Lfttof Ii ihii iMinymiix l-'in llm pßlih nln •- ol Ihe tavoira MMMNncrr. By the arrival of the Brig Monterey at San Francisco on Thursday afternoon, from Quay mas, the Evening Ledger received the follow ing additional facts, ami confirmation of the massacre of Crabb and his party at Cavorca : It now appears that the sudden termination of the enterprise was owing to an accident which no foresight could prevent. The pur port of Crabb’s letter to the Prefect of Altar was no sooner made known to the inhabitants of that place than they commenced operations to exterminate the expedition. The most in tense excitement was created throughout the country, and a large force was soon ready to commence hostilities. The Americans were fully aware of the fate intended for them, and resolved upon the most desperate means to gain at least an apparent advantage in the outset; they commenced the engagement, and fell back upon the house which they had fortified, and from which they continued to fire upon the enemy with great effect and with but little danger to themselves. The Mexicans had fifteen killed and twenty-six wounded, before the Americans had lost a man, and it is doubtful what might have been the result even with the great odds on the Mexican side, had no accident occurred to decide the fate of the little band inside the building. Notwithstanding (hat every precaution was used to preserve the building from taking fire, the roof caught in several places at once, and the flames spread rapidly. There was no alter native but to blow off the roof, and General Crabb gave orders accordingly. To effect this quantities of gunpowder w ere thrown into the (lames. But the work could not be accom plished in time to prevent the disaster which was apprehended. Red hot cinders were fall ing in every direction, and although the men worked w ith the energy of despair to preserve the magazine, it took fire and blew up, tw enty five men losing their lives by the explosion. Quite a number were disabled by the explo sion, and without ammunition or the hope of succor, there was nothing left for them but to surrender. Of the fifty-nine who escaped the explosion, the life of but one, a boy of four teen years of age, was spared. The rest were shot, together with twelve others who had been taken prisoners while coming to the assistance of Crabb’s party. The execution took place on the 7th of April. Capt Walsh stales that the greatest excite ment prevailed in and about Guay mas. in an ticipation of (filibuster visitations. There are between 500 and 600 troops at Guay mas, ready to operate against any expe dition for the invasion of the country. The inhabitants look upon all Americans and American vessels with suspicion, and Capt. Walsh had some difficulty in obtaining bis bal last. But for his acquaintance with the Cap tain of the port, bis vessel would undoubtedly have been seized. Dbmockatic State Central Committee. —At a meeting of the Democratic State Central Committee, held at the city of San Francisco, on Wednesday, the 20th day of May, 1857, pursuant to call, it was Item.Jvnl. That the next Democratic State Conven tion Ik? hoi !en at th* city of Sacramento, on TnemlHy. the 1 tlh day of July next; and that the l»a*l* of re presentation uh follow*, vione delegate from every county, at large, and one delegate for every two hundred Democratic vote* ••«*!. and one delegate for every fraction over one hundred Democratic vole* ca*t for any Democratic State officer at the last general election the Presidential Elector* la ing considered, for the purpose* of thin resolution, a* State Offi< er*.— It was further Krnolvnl, That a committee of three be selected to canvas* the official return* in the office of the Secreta ry of State, and make up and pnhli*h the apportion ment of the delegate* according to the hu*i« of repre aentation adopted. ' Messrs. Thomas, Moore and Kedington were selected ns the committee. The Committee then adjourned, to meet at the call of the Chairman. A. KEDINGTON, Chairman Dcm. State Central Committee. P. K. WooiiMiiiF., Secretary. Naval. —We learn, says the Alta Califor nia, that Captain Farragut, the senior com manding officer at the Navy Yard, Mare Island, received orders last mail, from Commodore Mervin of the Pacific squadron, to fit out the U. S. steamer Massachusets, with all possible despatch. Her destination is supposed to be Panama, to join the frigate Independence, the flag-ship of the squadron, at present looking after our interest there. The Massachusetts lately returned from a fourteen month’s cruise on the coast of Oregon and Washington Terri tories, where she bus been employed in opera ting against (be Indians in that quarter. The sloop of war Decatcr, 16 guns, at last accounts, was at Callao; and the St. Marys, 22 guns, at San Juan. These vessels, together with the sloopof-war John Adams, also carrying 22 guns, arc shortly expected to rendezvous at Panama. The squadron will remain there un til the settlement of our complex affairs with the New Granadian Government, and be on hand in case an emergency should arise re quiring their services. Siiootino by a Woman. — Chas. Frizel, a veterinary surgeon, who keeps his office on Market street, near Third, San Francisco, as we learn from one of our exchanges, was shot by a woman a few days ago, in that vicinity, with a double barrelled pistol. The ball, or wadding, struck and carried away a piece of his coat sleeve, near the right shoulder, hut did no other damage. The woman was immediate ly taken into custody. She gave her name as Hostile Espinosa. There was was no quarrel immediately preceding the explosion. The Collectorsiiip.— The resignation of Mr. Latham, as Collector of the Port of San Francisco, takes place on the 30th of June, the end of the fiscal year, and not upon the Ist as has been stated. Drowned. —On the 6th inst, Mr. Henry Sam mis, in attempting lo cross the Sacramento river, near Portuguese Flat, in a canoe, rtas drowned. Mr. S. was from Ohio, where he leaves a wife and family A Wail from Columbia.— Many of the ill fated gentlemen who perished at Cavorca re sided in the town of Columbia, in Tuolumne county. The Columbian thus speaks of the massacre: “ With a sad heart we arc railed upon to record the untimely fate of the brave and noble men who a short time since left our State to try and better their fortunes in Sonora. The scene of men dying on the field of battle, when the hot blood is rushing through the veins and they expecting the fate of warriors, can be looked at calmly and with resignation; but to see them butchered in cold blood like dogs, and to have indignity heaped upon the remains of what was once high-spirited hu manity, stirs up feelings of revenge in friends, and excites pity for the object and disgust to wards the perpetrators, even in enemies. Mex j ico is noted for brutality, but no act that she j has ever committed can compare in cruelty with this last fiendish atrocity. Fifty-eight men, after surrendering and laying down their arms, with the white flag flying at the front of I their column, were seized, bound and shot.— j This may be in accordance with the law of na tions, but the last act of the drama would give a South Sea Islander eclat in his own country, * and supersedes all our former ideas of the hor rible. The leader of the unfortunate party —a man beloved by all who knew him—was tor tured and brutally murdered by these Mexican wolves, amid bowlings that w ould have been a feature in Pandemonium ; and some of his poor wounded companions, unable lo help them selves, were slain on American soil, and their bodies left to feed the better portion of Mexi can creatures. With some of the ill starred party we were acquainted, and our eyes moisten as we call to mind the parting with the Oxleys, Taylor, Hoyt, Gillion, Watts, Carter, Wilson, Coates and Allen, for they were men to be respected and beloved. Buoyant with hope and expectation, they pledged their lives to the enterprise, and the pledge has been required. The soil of an infamous country has drank their blood, and relatives and friends 4 mourn and refuse to be comforted because they are not.’ Columbia has lost some of her jewels and the State some of her brightest stars.— May the penalty required of the ruffianly cow ards who consummated the deed be fearful I” I.a ikk from Utah. -By the arrival of Mr. Thomp son, exprewman, at .Sacramento, we have dates from Salt Lake to the 25 th of April, twenty-four days later than last advance*. We copy from the Sacramento Uniim : On Saturday, the filth May, just before Mr. Thomj»- ■on left the Mormon Station, a parly of ten men arrived there from (irent Salt Like City, which [dace they left on the 25th of April twenty-four days later than our former advices. The party consisted of Kcmpton and brother, from Hear River in this State ; Merkiey and Maker, of Canon Valley; Price, of Washoe Valley, and Missionaries on their way to the Sandwich bland.-. Mr. Kcmpton had with him three wagons and nineteen hornet in fine condition, which he was biking to his rancho on Hear River. They passed, on the Hiinibdt, a party with fifteen wagon, from (Jreat Halt Lake, on their way to <'arson Valley, and three droves of rattle designed for this Stale. Thev intended to move in n few days. By this arrival we have additional news from Salt lake. The dissensions among the Mormons had come to an issue. Three hundred of those who had l»ccome disgusted with the rule of Brigham Young, who go ' there by the appellation of “ Apostates," bad left for the Atlantie States. Two of the Apostates hail also arrived in Carson Valley, having run away from Salt Like on the Oth of April, and swam Rear River, near by, to make good their escape. They t* II some hard stories about the condition of the Saints. According to their accounts there are six thousand Apostates at • Irent Salt Like, who are in constant fear of n hand of bravadoes, employed by Hrigham Voun f, known as the “ Destroying Angela." They say that dead bodies are constantly found about that place, and that while the Mormons attribute their murder to the Indians, the Apostates believe they are murdered by the “ De stroying Angels." They also represent that the lead ing M ormons preach openly against permitting any women or children to leave there. Kempton's party was accompanied the first day as far out us Hear River, by President Hrigham Young. On the 26th of April he left them for the North, In tending to go by Port Hall to Salmon River, In Oregon Territory. His object was to look out for a now *tu tion in that country. Whether he was preparing to remove there himself or not, was not known. At < Jreal Salt Like there had l>ecn little or no money I during the winter. Wheat was wiling at $1 per bushel, and g'K»d cattle were very cheap for cash. Provisions were plentiful. A train of forty hand-carts, with three | missionaries to each cart, had left for the Suites, and President had sent on forty t ms of Hour to sup ply his statifes between that place and the Missouri River. Tiik Trial of Ned McGowan.— We copy the following telegraphic despatch, dated Napa City, May 19th, from the Sacramento Union : The case of The People rg. Edward McGow an, was called this morning at eleven o’clock, Judge McKinstry presiding. The indictment was read, and Mr. Coffroth (McGowan’s attor ney) waived all objection to the same on ac count of some slight errors contained therein. The accused pleaded 44 Not Guilty.” District Attorney Edgcrton agreeing, Mr. Coffroth (on account of the absence of his associates, Messrs. Bales and McDougall,) moved that the trial he deferred until Friday next. It was so or- I dered. McGowan was remanded to the cus ! tody of the officers, and he is now locked up in his cell. The case will bo vigorously prosc- I cuted. Witnesses for prosecution—General I James Estell, George 11. Parker, Henry C. ! Lyon, Dr. 11. 11. Toland, Andrew M. Hepburn, Robert Sotnmervillc. Witnesses for defence— j Jamds M. Estell, John Nugent, L. B. Mizncr, Dr. U. B. Cole, Dr. Win. Hammond,* Dr. 11. 11. Toland, Dr. Bertody, T. W. Sutherland, 0. jA. Grant E. B. McGroily, H. L. Dodge, Far ley, Samuel Stevenson. j I Mysterious Death. —The San Andreas cor ' respondent of the San Joaquin Republican gives an account of the sudden death of Mr. George Leonard, proprietor of a lager beer sa loon in that place. The doctor says he died of apoplexy, but many think he poisoned him self. lie and his wife lived unhappily together; j ! a separation was agreed upon, but they could ! not arrange about the children, of whom there were several. Finally the woman started out with her boy ; the husband followed, but soon I dropped, and in a few’ minutes expired. Mr. L. was a German, and was formerly from Up per Calaveritas. Greasy Profits. —One house in Louisville has cleared no less than $300,000 during the last season in the pork trade; another, $208,000; another, $150,000; and several SIOO,OOO each. The Steam Wagon. —The Sacramento Item gives an interesting description of the Overton Steam Wagon, now being constructed in that city. The machine, when completed, will he nominally of ten and a half horse power, but practically of much greater capacity. The en tire length of the wagon bed wilt be 23 feet, and the width 7| feet. It w ill be run upon four w heels of 6 feet in diameter, 18 feet apart from centre to centre, and nine feet apart in width. The frame work is supported by leather and steel springs. This frame supports a boiler of 11 feet in length and 3 feet in diame ter, in front of which is a w ater tank, to con tain 500 gallons of water. The station of the “ pilot” is in front of thcijoiler, and his duty is to steer the wagon. The position of the engi neer is at the hind end of the boiler, at which the fuel is carried, and the fires are kindled.— On each side of the boiler is a cylinder which by their action through crank and cog-wheels, turn an eccentric shaft beneath the bed, by which eight substantial “ legs” are made to “ walk.” They raise and descend alternately, four of them nlw’ays being on the ground at once. They are set at the proper angle, so that with each revolution of the shaft the en tire power of the steam is applied to pushing the wagon forward. These legs are hollow, and contain india rubber cushions, for the pur pose of preventing jarring. It is firmly be lieved by Mr. Overton, that these wagons can be made available even in our mountains, for hauling heavy loads. Gentlemen of ample mcMMi are engaged In the enterprise. Assaulting the Chinese. —Last week some robbers entered a Chinese store in Dutch Ra vine, Placer county, lied the occupants togeth cr by their tails, and proceeded to rifle the premises. They succeeded in finding and car rying away about $2,500 in money. The Chi nese know the rascals, but their evidence being invalid, no steps can be taken for arresting the robbers. Rates of Passage. —The rates of passage by the P. M. Steamship Sonora, which sailed from San Francisco on the 20th inst, were:— Frst cabin $275 ; second do., $225 ; and steer age, $l5O. We understand that a charge of one per cent, is added to meet the State capi tation charge upon emigrants. No Pay.—The Supervisors of El Dorado county have determined that jurors and wit nesses in criminal cases can receive no pay for their services, time or travelling expenses, in that county.
