e Shooting Affair.—
We puplished yesterday an item from the Fol

Cobb had been shot and dangerously injured
by amah named O'Neil, near Clnrksvill, El
Dorado county. From parties in Sacramento
conversant with the facts, we obtaiu the fol
lowing particulars of the affair: Christina
Cobb is an unmarried woman, aged thirty
four years, who has for a number of years
managed the affairs of her own ranch near
Clarksville, hiring two men the most of the
time to take care of her ranch aud stock.
Hugh O'Neal, a minor in the neighborhood,

Thursday evening last she desired to visit
Clarksville, and was about to walk to that
point at dusk with one of her hired meu,
when O'Neal made his appearance with a
doublo-barreled shotgun- He requested that
she would not have him arrested, to which
proposition she assented. He then expressed
n desire to go to Clarksville with her and
the hired man. She assented to this
proposition, but asked him to leave his gun
behind. Taking a favorable opportunity

he leveled his pistol. The cap on tho guu

O'Neal renewed his cap and the other man
bruught his revolver into working order.—
Both fired simultaneously, but neither was
hurt. O'Neal then ran and has not yet been
arrested. The charge of the first shot struck
Miss Cobb about the upper part of tho left
hip, producing a terrible wound, It was at
first supposed that she could not possibly
recover, but on Sunday last her condition
had greatly improved.—[Sacramento Union

Home, Sweet Home.— One fine eve
ning in the month of July, 1864, says an
exchange, while the Union array under
Grant and the confederate army under
Lee were lying in and around Petersburg
and the bands of both armies were play
ing their favorite airs, Hail Columbia and
the Star Spangled Banner wonld be
wered by cheers from the Unions and
shouts of derision from the Confederates.
Dixie and the Bonnie Blue Flag would
raise the enthusiasm of the Southerners
and the derision of the Yankees. Sud
denly one of the bands stationed at the
Federal Corps Headquarters commenced
playing Home, Sweet Home. In an in
stant all discord was hushed; band after
band of both armies took up the strain,
Cheer after cheer rang out along the
whole line. All party animosity was for
the moment duried, and friend and foe
joined in applauding that beautiful and
truthlul air, showing that the sentiment,
breathed in that song found an eoho in I
every heart—Home, Sweet Home. I

From the Cairo Democrat.
The people of Cape Girardeau, Mo.,
invited Gen. Frank P. Blair to Adress
them. The General accepted the invi
tat i on an( j luo k p asS ago on the Belle
Memphis, which was due at the Cape
early iu the morning, but unfortunately
the boat grounded on a bar, and was de
tained several hours, aud did not reach
there uutil eight o'clock that night. An
immense number of people from the
country had come into town early in the
day, an d had patiently waited uutil night,
i 0 order to hear the views of the distin
guished soldier on the topics of the day,
but their hopes were doomed to disap
pointaient, and the crowds left for their
homes.
Tho Radicals being largely in the rna
jority at Cape Girardeau, were overjoyed
at the disappointment of Gen. Blair's
friends, and when the General arrived
they determined to take the advantage
of the absence of his friends, and mob
and kill him if they could in case he at
tempted to speak. What a few decent
people there are iu that town, when they
heard the General was at the St. Charles
Hotel, prooceded together in front of the
building and loud calls being made for
him, he appeared upon the balcony of the
hotel and commenced to speak, when the
organized band of murderous cowards
commenced to hoot and yell at him,
calling him a liar, and, although many
ladies were present, shouting in the most
obscene language they could lay their
foul tongues to.
Gen Blair stood unmoved and un
daunted, and looked quietly at the furi
ous rabble. He then told them they
were a set of contemptible ruffians—
ihe stripe that garroted men in dark al
leys, and that mobbed unarmed men for
daring to defend the Union and Consti
tution. He told them that he had seen
traitors before—armed traitors, who dared
take up armes and fight for their treason,
and he would not be intimidated by cow
ardly stay-at-home ruffians.
When the murderous crew found they
could scare the old soldier, they gathered
in a close mob and commenced singing
{'John Brown." so as to drown the speak
er's voice. The General and his friends
then retired to a hall nearby, and then
the rioters, when they could sneak
around without facing the old seldier,com
menced stoning the building, breaking
the windows, and attempting to set the
buildiDg on fire.
Many of the stones and bricks that
were thrown into the windows, fell witt
great force among the audience, one cf
them hitting General Blair and another
strikiug one of the most estimable ladies
of the town on the temple, inflicting a
serious and probably a fatal wound.
A lad about fourteen years old, the
only support of a widowed and sick moth
er, had been attracted by curiosity to en
ter the building, when he was struck by
a missile and his arm broken.
This is the free speech that is offered
by the "loyal" Radicals to veteran sol
diers who daro to stand up and defend
the Constitution and the union of the
States.
