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, visited Jhe ranch ten or twelve days ago, and getting into a puarrel with the men, fired several pistol shots, which, however, did no Miss Cobb had threatened to enter injury. a complaint and have him arrested. On 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 that O'Neal was in liquor and she felt afraid of him and desired him to she told the take a pistol along. On the way to Clarks ville, in crossing a stream, both m :u stopped back to permit Miss Cobb to cross, when a few feet in advance O'Neal leveled his gun and tired at her and instantly wheeled aud attempted to fire at the man. Simultaneously he leveled his pistol. The cap on tho guu snapped and the pistol failed to revolve.— 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 Dinner Bbaurhuard.—G en.

Express, Oct. 4th. are happy so many 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.

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. Gen. John E.
