being aware that a. sum of 2000~ thalers

thrown into the soup, assuring her that it
was merely a narcotic, which would not
fail to plunge the family into a deep sleep.
A curious circumstance saved them all.
On the edge of the lamp suspended .;over

German Paper..
The Rumor from California.-The
Washington correspondent of the New
York Journal of Commerce thus refers a
second time to this matter : "The rumor
received here from the Vest, that the
Mormons in California had mutined, &c.,
is unfounded, and was suggested by some
distrust of, and enmity to the Mormons,
which have followed that persecuted sect
to the shores of the Pacific.
Sufferings of California Emigrants.
Horrible Story.
The St. Louis Republican in noticing
the arrival in California, of the emigrants
from Missouri, under Colonel Russell,
says:
About the24th of February, five women
and two men arrived at Capt. Johnson's
the first house of the California settlement
entirely naked, and their feet frost bitten.
They stated that their company had 'ar
rived at Truckey's Lake, on the east side
of the mountains, and- found the snow so
deep that they could not travel. Fearing.
starvation, sixteen of the strongest, {(elev
en males and five females,) agreed to
start for the settlement on foot. After
wandering about a number of days, be
wildered, their provisions gave opt.- Long
hunger made it ,necessary to cast lots to
see who should be sacrificed to make food

-"Capi.Bragg's Battery, to which be

Six Days Later from the Rio Grande
Successful Attack upon a Train.
The schooner Sarah Churchman, Capt.
Erricksoni, arrived at New Orleans on the
29th ult., having left the Brazos on' the
23d. The Matamnoras Flag, of tho 21st
July. contains the following important
intelligence in relation t'o an attack upon
a train, w hich was partially successful:
"The last arrival from tamargo brings
an account ol a recent attack by the Mex
icans, supposed to be a detached party of
Urrea's troops, upon a train, on its way to
Monterey. The wagon train'was attended
by a small escort, and following in the
rear were some sixty or eighty pack mules
freighted with ''goods- belonging to the
merhants of'Matamoros. The' traim w~as
attacked near Marin, and the assault wvas
directed against the rear, with a view of
cutting off the pack mules, in which the
Mexcans were completely successful
all the mules with their packs wvero, cap
tured by them. A considerable s.hooty
has thus fallen into their hatnds-some say
about $30,000 worth of dry goods and a
quantity of tobacco. The principal~ loss
sustained by Mr. Tarniver,.one of' the
moat respectable merchants of Matamoros
who loses upwards of $25,000 in' dry
goods; Mr. Kingsbury was the owner of
the tobacco."
