Cj n |nhpmhnt. SAN ANDREAS: Saturday, October 25,1856. Mr. Thos. Boyce 13 our authorized Agent in San Francisco, and lg empowered to collect and receipt for moneys due this office. To the Patron* 'of the “ San Andreas independent.” We, the undersigned, selected by the subscri bers and friends of the above paper beg leave to report, as follows: Acting under the powers delegated to us, we resolved to establish ft newspaper in the town of San Andreas, to be devoted to the true interests of the public; one, through which the people of onr county could be heard, and tme issues impartially advocated ;~and With the aid of Mr. George Armor, who selected the materials, we have established the San Andreas Independent , the second No. of which, we pre sent for your approval. Mr. George Armor has been selected to conduct the paper upon an in dependent basis; how well he may fulfill his mission, it is for the public to judge. To the people, therefore, we say continue your friendly aid ; promptly meet your engagements, and we guarantee the Independent to be, what wc claim for it, the friend of the miner, the farmer and the mechanic, and the honest advocate of every interest tending to the benefit of the people of Calaveras county in general. Respectfully, yours. JOHN D. SULLIVAN,) A. P. HUMPHREY, V True tees. D. D. FOX, j San Andreas, October 4th, 1856. Every one has something to say of pol itics, —why may not we ? and yet our pen is so unused to laud or decry any party or partizans that, like Mrs. Partington, we do not know but that ‘-when we open our mouth we may put our foot in it,” —not that we have not our personal and political predilections; not that we do not intend to speak manfully, freely and fully our own sentiments, —for we do ; and intend to boldly hold those who oppose or attempt to subvert the interests of the working class, up to the indignation of their peers ; nor will we withhold our hearty approval of all who in the history, past or future, of our State, have made or will make efforts for the advancement of such interests. To us the struggle of our County and State officers is one that wakens our strong-- eet feelings. Nor do we lose sight of the interest here involved in the mighty strug gle that agitates the whole Union. Our National Institutions are as dear to us as any man. Our hearts yearn as warmly, and truly, for the settlement of questions of National policy, that are breeding such discontent and bitter feeling in our midst, as any one. A thrill of horror reaches our very inmost spirit, as we read the tales of Kansas warfare, outrage and suffering, and know that civil war rears its awful head in our midst—and as sincere a prayer for its cessation rises to our lips as from any one, and no one holds the causes of this state of feeling—we care not to what party they belong—in more utter abhorrence than do we; yet with it all, we are not forgetful of the interests of our State and County, and at the same time do we re member that in the approaching contest we engage in a warfare that is not only to have its bearing and influence on the in terest of this State alone, but upon the whole Union. In the next Legislature we send to the U. S. Senate, two men. — These are to be selected from one of the three great parties that are now at work in our Union, and it becomes us to look well to whom we entrust such great interests. We know not whom may be sent. No personal attachments should influence us in the contest. Principle, and principle alone, should guide us, and the principles as developed by the parties themselves, should determine us in our votes. As we look at this triangular contest it stands thus: The Democratic party recognises, upholds and supports the Kansas Nebras ka bill, as the policy of the country, and the final settlement of our troubles. With this the Republicans are at open war, and demand its utter abolishment. Not con tent with the restoration of the compro mises of ’2O and ’SO, they wish the fugi tive slave law abolished, or changed. The American party, discarding in toto both of these propositions, struggle for a restoration of the compromise measures, and each of these conflicting measures, it ia confidently asserted by the partisans of each, will restore quiet, order, harmony, and peace in our borders. What say the people? It is to them they all look! It is to the great mass, — those who are to feel the effects of one of these principles being predominant, that each party depends. You hold, Working men of all kinds, the power in your hands; but will you use it? Like a horse guided by a child, a mere turn of the rein sub dues us too often into obedience. Upon our shoulders, and by us, have men rid den into office, who in their lust for power have forgotten our interests; and we have quietly seen the principles of such men disseminated, which have caused war, bloodshed, carnage, aye, civil war, to stalk with high hand, in onr borders. Will we unite on those in the coming canvass whose every endeavor will be to quell the surges of distraction that now roll over our land ? or will we, with a blind adherence to party, still tamely submit to our total ruin ? Men do not seem to consider in this con test for the minor offices of Senators and Legislators, that they vote for great princi ples, instead of men. They do not seem to think that perhaps upon each vote de pends the election of one whose every act will be in direct opposition to the very principles he believes will save our glorious Union. They do not seem to consider that as they deposit their votes, they may do it for Union or Disunion, for quiet, peace and harmony, or for discord, anar chy and confusion. And yet it may be that these things are involved as deep ly as if printed upon the tickets they deposit in the ballot boxes. To the Workingmen we then say, consider, pause, reflect, ere you vote for any man for htate Senator, or the Legislature, that you do not feel and know, has your interests and the interests of the great masses, at heart. Who is not a Union loving man, —and loving the Union, loves you and your rights. Upon the tickets, our County nomina tions present men of high sentiments, no bly feelings, and generous hearts. The three parties are able represented, but let no personal consideration weigh with us in this contest with them, but determine to vote for principle, and principle alone. For County officers we have nothing to say. Each one will be governed by his personal friendship,—nor would the elec tion of any of them injure us, for in all parties we find men of standing, and Cal veras boasts many such aspirants for office. The Overland Travel. —-Through O the enterprise of our frontier population of the W estern States, who are now pouring into California by the Big Tree and other routes, our wealth is increasing. Slowly, but surely, does our growth mature as train alter train of hardy emigrants arrive at this haven of their rest, bringing with them their wives and little ones, their flocks and their herds, from a far off land to en joy the pure air and continual sunshine of our heaven-blessed land. Every train brings thousands of dollars’ worth of De vonshire and Durham improved cattle; their horses are the strongest and fleetest to be found in the Western Prairies, and are brought here with a view of improv ing the mustang stock of this State. One train of such emigration, is worth a whole steam-ship load, of kid-gloved ballot-box stuffers and sweet-scented office-seekers, by the ocean route. The blessings of emigra tion come over-land—the curses, that en tailed the formation of a Vigilance Com mittee, ( the only plan by which murder and ballot-box stuffing could be justlv punished,) come by the ocean routes. By sea came the prostitute, the female charla tan, and their men, who are now scattered broad-cast over our fair land ; renegades from the just vengeance of an outraged people, or the edicts of the Vigilance Com mittee. In our highways and by-ways is presented the brazen effrontery of the broken-down gambler, glaring with demon eyes on the unsuspecting traveller, as “stand and deliver!” is called out; yet that same out-lawed ruffian, was once a gentleman emigrant, —by the steamer. How different a class are these honest overland emigrants ? Their coarse, heavy shoes and home-spun clothes seems to in dicate want, or privation. But not so, al though coarsely they are comfortably clad. We look upon these arrivals, as the har binger of a better day for California.— Those girls, have, two-thirds of the dis tance for two thousand miles, footed it into this State, yet they arc our cherished hope! their pride and destiny is to fulfill a natural obligation, —to be the wives of honest miners, farmers and mechanics; and the mothers of noble, god-like men; their daughters,—good well-behaved hon est-hearted country girls,—the brightest gem of the social circle, and Keystone of a happy and prosperous home. Patriotic. —On our first page will be found some appropriate poetry, written by a lover of “Our Union.” We advise all sectional men to read it, —then read over “ Washington’s Last Moments,” and if it does not stir up their patriotism, and love for our “ Land of the free and the home of the Brave,” they can commence at the head of the column and read “The fate of the Desperado” from which they will, no doubt, derive a useful lesson. Gambling. The Grand Jury have found the law against gambling imperfect and would therefore respectfully recom mend a revision of the laws on this sub ject by the next Legislature. —Stockton Argus . We hope the first Law the next Legisla ture may pass, will be an Act to suppress gambling, so strict in its nature, as to do away with the evil. The crime should be punishable with heavy fine or long im prisonment. Emigrants. —The past week has been one of activity in the emigrant line. On each day several trains passed through this place. We noticed more than an ordina ry number of women and children, in the crowd. Accompanying one train were near a dozen bouncing girls, full of fun, frollicking along as if the fatigue of travel and the alkali of the desert had all been left behind. Three-fourths of the men were old Californians, returning with their families bringing back to this country the gold they carried home with them to the “States,” in the shape of blooded-stock and house-hold treasures. Most of them in their former visit to California, had came the Placerville route, and this time bv the Big Tree road; they unhesitatingly confirm the well understood fact, that the Big Tree road is more than one-half better to travel than any other route. They ex pressed much astonishment when informed that San Andreas was within forty miles of Stockton Their destination is for Russian river, and the vicinity of Clear Lake. Some few were bound for Monterey county, or the Salinas, St. Johns and Santa Clara Valleys. It was amusing to see the emigrants, as they reviewed the Chinese, who were equally amused at the close scrutiny with which they were quizzed by the young la dies. The emigrants seemed to think they had lauded in the middle of Asia instead of California, so numerous w r ere the Chi nese, male and female, around the wagons. The “ Misses Johns,” from their improved style of Bloomer dress, loose habits and garrulous gybes and jeers were soon point ed out, as of the female persuasion; and woman’s curiosity, of course, made the discovery much to the chagrin of a Pike county teamster, who was in a quandary about the sex of the “blasted critters.” The Ball. —As we to go press every thing “goes merry as a marriage bell."— The decorations of the ball room are ele gant, gotten up in tasteful wreaths of ever green and bay, with initial decorations em blematic of the designs of the Order. The Committee of Arrangements have been unremitting in their efforts to perfect the details of the fete , so as to give satisfaction to all, —and we are happy to chronicle their success. But time and space is too limited for us, in this issue, to say more. We understand that about two hundred turned out in procession at Mokelumne Hill, held in honor of the Anniversary of the institution of Mokelumne Lodge, No. j 44. Full particulars next week. Found Guilty. —Wm. 11. Werth, who some time since committed an assault on a Mr. Kingsburry, editor of a newspa per, has been found guilty. The Judge in his sentence, says : Both parties were wrong, but Werth was wrong first, and by that first wrong, wrong also last. If it were for me to inflict the punishment, it would be very different. The judgment and sentence of the Court is, that you pay a fine of 6250, and stand committed until it be paid. Editorial Difficulties —Mr. James O’Sullivan, the editor of the Sonora Her ald, having been nominated as the Repub lican candidate for State Senator in that section, was assailed by a man named Ma lone, who attempted to take his life by shooting Fortunately for Mr. O’S. the authorities were on hand to rescue him from trouble. Malone has been committed, to await his trial for an assultwith a deadly weapon. In Circulation. —The people of San Jose estimite that over 660,000 were ex pended by visitors in that City during the continuance of the late State Agricultural Fair. Since then the money market is said to be considerably easier there, and we doubt not some sharp speculations in town lots have been going on. End of the Chinese Feud. —We learn that the heads of the two great Chi nese companies, the Cantons and See Yups have met in Sacramento, and settled all the difficulties heretofore existing be tween these two classes. So ends the Chinese War with ‘‘gentle peace return • yy ln g- Messrs. I. S. Rosenbaum & Co., pre sented us with some of their new supply of the famous “ Buffalo Chips” Tobacco. The sample is certainly a treasure for quid nuncs. Those who relish the best To bacco, only, will do well to always have a “pocket full of chips,” so that we can go “huncs” by exchanging a quid pro quo! John Bigler Coming. —A gentleman just returned from the Atlantic, states John Bigler is coming, having secured passage in the Nicaragua steamer Ten nesse, to leave New York on the 6th inst. Cattle. —Yesterday, near two hundred head of young cattle, passed through this place en route for the San Joaquin. The. .stock was in fine condition. But one im migrant wagon was in the company. Confession op Bill Gristy, alias Bill White.— The San Joaquin Re publican, contains a lengthy confession of Bill White, who was one of Tom Bell’s gang; after confirming most of the ac counts heretofore published, and implica ting some roadside taverns (stage houses,) in their robberies, he proceeds to confess the murder of Rosenthal, detailing inci dents, so as to convey the idea that, Bell clandestinely murdered Rosenthal af ter the party had tied their victim to a tree. He continues: “We then went back to the Mountain eer House, owned by Jack Phillips, a Syd ney man, seven miles from Auburn, on the Sacramento road, and gave Jack Phil lips about one hundred and fifty dollars.— This house is a stage house, and all the hostlers, and every person around it knew us and our business. We made 31,200, by the operation.” W hite “proceeds to state how things, arc managed by ‘Gen. Estell, at the State Pris on, who was responsible for the safe keep ing of the convicts, at the time of his es cape : “I was sent from Placer county to-the State prison in the year 1855, for ten years, for stealing three horses from the Girard House. 1 remained until May, 1855; at that time there were six or seven others be side myself escaped; I can only recollect the names of Tom Bell, Ned Connor and Jim Smith. The manner of our escape was this: I was told by one of our guard that his captain wanted to see me at the office; I went, he told me he wanted to get rid of a portion of the prisoners then in prison. His plan was, for me to take the party composed as stated above, on the next day, (and the guard with us w'ould be posted as to his part in the matter,) out ostensibly to chop wood, and when the first tree fell, we w r ere then to break and run. I was to expose myself more than the rest. The guard were to shoot blank cartridges at me. I accordingly spoke to Bell and told him my plans; he did not approve them at first, but when I told him the par ty could run one way, and 1 would expose myself to be shot at, he seemed to admire my courage, and agreed to my plans (as he thought) for our escape. Bell, ever af ter this overrated my courage; I told him that they might shoot at me; I did not care to live. It was a good chance for me to convince him of my bravery, as there was really no danger. At the time the tree fell, i run down in front of the guard and they fired at me. The other party did as directed, and we made good our escape. There re lly was no danger. A further account of this affair was published in the newspapers at that time. Although the officers of the prison were very kind to me during the whole of my confinement, I have thought there was something behind the scenes more than this, to lead to our escape. It is generally known that Gen. Estell made a bad contract with the State to keep all her convicts, and he was very anxious t j be relieved of said contract, but could not do so. My opinion always has been that he adopted this course to make the contract system odious with the people so he could be relieved of a bad bargain. The following is, a description of indi viduals composing Tom Bell’s party ; “Tom Bell.—About six feet high; has long auburn hair, thick light colored beard all over his face, blue eyes, flat nose which had been broken when a boy; complexion light, slender made, weight 145 pounds, and age 33 years. Fred. Farnsworth—Stays with the family at the mouth of the slough : age 35 years, 5 feet 9 inches high, weight 175 pounds, blue eyes, black hair and black whiskers. The family is composed of an old woman named Elizabeth Hood, and her three daughters; she is a large fat woman, has red hair and red face, and was born in St. Louis county, Mo. The three daughters are 9, 11, and 14 3 T earsold; the oldest, Sarah, is kept by Tom Bell as his mistress. Warren Farnsworth —Escaped from jail at Nevada, during the time of the late tire. Age 30, weight 140 pounds, round shoulders, long black hair, heavy goatee, and dark blue eyes. English Bob—Formerly hostler at the Mountaineer House; weight 140 pounds, light hair, complexion the same, age 32 years. Ned Connor —Escaped convict; weight 150 pounds, dark brown hair, red whis kers all over his face; he is 5 feet 8 in ches high, blue eyes, and of Irish descent. He is shot on the inside of the little finger on the right hand.and through the second finger. This was done in . the attack on the Camptonville stagehand is not well yet. Jim Smith —ls a German; he run away several times from the State Prison, but finally served his time out; weight 175 pounds, is 5 feet 10 inches high, has light hair, gray eyes, and looks wild out of them. On the back of one of his hands is painted in Indian ink the initials of his name, with a star between; a crucifix is also on one of his arms. Montague Lyon served 12 months in the State Prison, is 6 feet high, age 25 years, cross eyed, with auburn hair and light whiskers. This confession is made with the prom ise that you will do all in your power to have me pardoned out of the State Prison. If all I have not told you is not true, you are hereby released from your promise. I think what I have done and said will be of great advantage to the people of this State, and it is my intention to leave it, if par doned.” r The Orizaba—We learn—.that the new steamer Orizaba is expected to arrive at'San Francisco from New York via. Vir gin Bay } in the course of $ few days, when the regular semi-monthly line to-Nicaragua will be resumed without interruption. ARRIVAL of the SIERRRA NEVADA. o FOUR DAYS LATER FROM THE STATES I Interesting from Nicaragua! Mr. Corwine, the Commissioner appoint ed by our Government to investigate the circumstances connected with the Panama massacre in April last, has made his re port. Mr. C. throws the whole responsi bility of that affair upon the Granadian authorities, and demands that the Grana dian Government shall make reparation to the amount of a half million of dollars. He also recommends that our Government should take military possession of the Isthmus in case our demands are not com plied with. The Suffolk Steam Flouring Mills, at East Boston, were totally destroyed by fire. The resignation of Judge Mason as Commissioner of Patents has been tender ed to the President, but it is not believed that he will vacate the office. According to a decision of the Attorney General, the additional per centage given to navy agents, under the act of March 1, 1855, commences that day, but is to be apportioned over the whole official year, and not credited to any part of the year, in case of death or resignation. Two gentlemen, named C» C. McClure and John Lay, were recently appointed a committee by a mass mating of the citi zens of St. Louis, to visit Kansas and in quire into the actual condition of things in that territory. The committee have re turned and published their report. By it it appears that their inquiries did not extend beyond the movements of Gen. Lane and the operations of the free State party. Nicaragua News. —The report of the battle of San Jacinto, received by the Panama steamer, is confirmed. A party of thirty of Walker’s men, under Col. Mc- Donald, attacked and drove behind their barricades a large number of rebels, num bering 150, or perhaps more. In the en counter one American was killed and sev eral wounded. When the news of the oc currence reached Granada, a strong feeling manifested itself among the citizens and soldiers to avenge the death of their coun trymen, and both officers and soldiers re quested Gen. Walker, to be allowed to vol unteer and form a party for this purpose. As the General would not consent to allow any of the officers or soldiers attached to regiments to go, the citizens, over whom he had no control, volunteered, to the number of 42, to fight the rebels upon their own responsibility. Some men were also raised in Masgaya and Tipitapa, mak ing in all 65 men. These men, divided into three bodies, attacked the enemy at the San Jancinto Ranch and were repulsed. Hamilton J. Bowie, of San Francisco, died in Granada of the fever. Nicarague Transit Company. —The issue of the Nicaraguense of the 27th September contains a leader congratulatory of the revival of the Nicaragua Transit; Company. It says: By a decree published three weeks since,! the Government of Nicaragua ceded all its I rights to the Transit route, and all the | property used on the line, embracing ware-1 houses, &c., together with whatever lands j the Company may need to carry on its bus iness, and also the macadamized road from Virgin to San Juan delSud. The consider ation paid for this property and the grant, was four hundred and fifty thousand dol lars ; and the Company bound itself to es tablish ocean steamers on both sides of the continent. It is also bound to transport government mails, troops, Ac., free of charge, and to pay into the Treasury of the State a certain price for every passen ger, and so much per centage on its profits. The grant extends for twenty-one years, and is given to perfectly responsible par ties, who are willing to make the Nicara gua route, from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean, better than any other. The Nicaragua steamer Sierra Nevada, Capt. Blethen, arrived in San Francisco, on Sunday morning last, bringing four days later news from New York, a week later from Europe and Nicaragua. By her the Nicaragua news, received via Pan ama, with the exception of the shooting of deserters, is confirmed. President Walker’s army is in fine dis cipline and spirits, and is continually re ceiving reinforcements of men and arms. The steamship Texas brought three hun dred stand ot Minnie rifles, four mountain howitsers, besides mortars, shells, ammuni tion and men, and no doubt need exist among his friends but that the next cam paign will be entirely successful, and prob ably terminate the long existing troubles in that country. Many families are already immigrating to Nicaragua to be come permanent settlers in her rich val leys, and the whole aspect of affairs in that beautiful country is materially brightening under the new regime. Jennings Estelle was publicly executed on the 19th for the murder of Lt. Chas. Gordon, Both parties were from San Irancisco, the latter having been a mem ber of Engine Co. No. 13, and the former recently a guard at the State Prison. He was a wild, reckless youth, and killed Gordon in cold blood and without provi cation. The Nicaraguense contains a long list of sequestered haciendas for sale, at prices varying from 54,000 to 20,000. Massaya has been abandoned, and Walker was concentrating his whole force at Granada. Maj. Heiss goes out by this steamer as the Envoy of this Republic, empowered to ratify the treaty entered into between Nicaragua and the United States. Under the auspices of Israel S. Diehl, G. W. Patriarch of California, a move ment on the subject of temperance has been commenced in Granada, which prom ises to work great good. San Juan del Norte.—There are eight British steam war vessels. at San Juan del Norte, and there are, also, one Italian merchant vessel, one United States, and one vessel belonging to Nicaragua. The flag of the Republic has been changed. It consists of two blue stripes with a white stripe between them, the lat ter twice as wide as the former. • In the middle of the white stripe is to be a red star with five points. We are thus rid of the eruptive device which has hitherto so appropriately represented the state. “Startling," but not Probable. Under this caption the Alta gets up a special pleading, to prove something that facts do not substantiate. The conclusions of that paper may be all correct, but the implication of others, on the most flimay pretenses, to make out a case of personal \idicatiou of somebody else, is blamable, to say the least, —not even sparing the dead. In speaking of the discovery of .human* remains, as published in the Stockton At gus, the Alta says: “W e do not give much credence to this report, however, because we know of our own knowledge, that there is no mining shaft upon, nor within several mileslof the place occupied by Oolebrook.'* This is a mistake, we are credibly in formed, as mining shafts are numerous in that vicinity. The Alta continues : J oa< l u iii Republican, in' speaking ot the same discovery, says, the bones were found while digging out a well and that there were parts of no less than twenty-seven different skeletons. Thev were at first thought to be the remains oV Indians, but a closer examination proved them to be those of white men; and it was supposed that Capt. Colebrook, brother to the one above mentioned, and who had oc cupied this ranch for nearly eight years, had been in some way concerned in pla cing them there. But there exists the same objection to this version of the affair, viz : there is no well, or at least was not, a short time ago, upon the place; (he wa ter having been supplied by springs near the house, thus superseding the necessity of digging any well. Hence, the bones found, if any, must have been in some place different from those described; and if they were those of human beings, they w- • ■•, without doubt, the remains of Indian.' as the, are fro quently met with, esj .llyinth vicinity of springs; for near such spots the aborig ines were in the habit of locating their rancherias; and near these their dead were often deposited, their remains being disposed of sometimes by burning, some times by burial. This, we think, will prove to be x proper solution of the mystery, if any such quantity of human bones have been found, as is above mentioned. Or oven if they should turn out to be those of white men, it does not follow that either Captain Cole-- brook or his brother had any agency in causing them to be placed there. During the early history of the country? —that is, the gold-digging history, there* were a great many desperate characters in the neighborhood of Captain ColcbrookV Texas Jack and Johnny Makin had their headquarters at Collier’s, afterwards known as the Antelope llaneh, one of the mast notorious dens of thieves in all that, region of country. This place was near Cole brook’s; and it was well known that u deadly hostility existed between him and | these outlaws. Capt. Colcbrook often i beaded attacks upon those desperadoes, | and assisted on more than one occasion, in , hanging some of their number; and, al though a man of quick temper and reck less courage, he was never considered a dangerous or dishonorable man by the in- I habitants in that section of country. What he did, was generally done above board, and in open daylight. It is possible that he might have been engaged in some con flict with these men, in which some of their number were killed and disposed of. without much regard to the rights of sep ulture. We feel confldent it would onj * be in some such manner that Captain Cs lh brook could have had an agency, if had, in causing these bones to be placed where they purport to have been discov ered. So lar as we know, after lading near him tor th e years, he never was known to have killed a man outright, nsr by taking any undue advantage. In the difficult? with a Chileno, at the Calaveras, he not kill the man, as the papers leave public to infer. The same remarks, in regard to g. al character, will apply, though per with less force, to his brother; fo know him, ha having come i recently into the neighborhood. We ; sumc, however, from the accounts, g ; n in the papers, thair he deserved the that overtook him. at Angels. Yet, w c lieve there is little in the lives of either these men to justify the.extravagant - position of wholesale murder, indulge,; , our up-river coi«mporaries. In fact* tj ; absurdity of the hypothesis upon wlui Tj' they axe founded becomes apparent whcoJ it is remembered that there are not, arm/ never have beeai, any mining, shafts Colebrook’s Ranch; and also, that a well, from which water could-be taken for daily i use, would furnish.the least probable r' . in the world where a man would be hV to deposit human, remains.
