Ibr the Gazette.
Massns.Enrrons : The following extract
of a letter-received by a gentlemen of South
Norwalk'from his son residing, at Nevada
City, California, shows the Summary man-
ner of disposing of thieves and robber s, which
if followd up here, would soon rid us of bur—
glars and villains : _
We have had quite an excitement here in
the way of catching robbers. This county.
has been infested for along time with high-
waymeu who have robbed travelers and
Stages. Some ten days ago three men stop-
ped the Stage from San Juan when within a
couple of miles of the city. There were only
two passengers—Chiuamen—one bad noth-
iug,the other $400 being on his way to Ida-
ho. Having taken this the plunderers tried
the iron box of Welles, Fargo & Co. Express
but failed to open it. They said to ' the dri-
ver.that if they had known how strong it
was they would have come better prepared.
On Tuesday morning last about 4 o’clock
. the same stage was stopped again some three
miles from the city, by three men with mask-
ed fsces-the same persons no doubt. There
were six passengers. The robbers took
charge of them, but did not rob them. They
coolly went to work at,the iron box of the
Express company, spending half an hour in
opening it, finally succeeding in breaking the
bolt with powder and then smashing the box
open with a blacksmith's sledge. It contain-
ed about 88,000 which they took and then
let the stage and passengers proceed.
Sherlfi' Gentry at once started with a force
of five others after these robbers The Sher-
iff’s party separated and scoured the region
where they expeected to find the villains-
One of the law party was Stephen Verrard
armed with a 16 repeating Henry rifle. He
came upon the robbers, saw a man drawing
a pistol on him, brought his rifle to hear when
he saw another robber taking aim at him.
He fired, shot the first robber through the
head. The other then slipped down the rocks
to hide himself bringing his pistol over the
rookie shoot. Verrsrd soon saw the rcbber's
head rise to take aim,.when his rifle instant-
lysbot him through the head. Verrard, all
alone, then took away the pistols from these
two bodies and hid the Money and then went
after the remaining robber. He saw him
running along the side hill, fired and wound-
ed him. The robber went on his hands and
knees looking over his shoulder at his pur-
suer. Verrard shot again when he dropped
dead. 80 the three desperate fellows were
killed by on an with four shots and all
the money obt . I have been very near
the ground, a wild region, near the Yuba
river. The express Co. rew urded Vernird
with $3,000. '
W
WT“ ATLANTIC Tswana—The
first attempt to stretch a telegraphic wire
across the bed of the Atlantic was made in
the Summer of 1857. The cable was coiled
halfon board the United States steamship
fingers, and l'ilglllf Olllnélale Brlitish steamer
amemnon. yto a it in mid
oceap on the 26th 3' June, the Niagara pro-
ceeding toward the American coast, the
Agamemnon towards Ireland... After the
w re had three times broken, the attempt
was given up. The following Au us: it was
renewed on a different plan. he shore
end was made fast at Valentia Bay, and the
Niagara be an paying out on the 7th, the
urpose be g that the Agamemuon should
gin operations when the Niagara had ex-
hausted her half of the cable. 0n the 11th,
afier 386 miles had been laid, the wire broke
again. The third attempt was made with
the same vessels in 1858. The ends of the
cable were joined in mid ocean on. the 29th
of J uly, and on the 6th of August the two
ships arrived simultaneously at their respec-
tive destinations. For a few days it was
possible to talk across the ocean. Mr. Bu-
chanan and Queen Victoria exchanged
friendly greeting; the people went wild
with rejoicings ; the mysterious DeSauty is-
sued his brief bulletins - then the electric
current grew weak and uncertain; a few-
faint quiverings were felt and all was still
Some unknown cause at the bottom of the
sea had destroyed the insulation, and the
wire was useless. But Mr. Cyrus W. Field,
who had fathered all these enterprises, was
not a man easily daunted. He had proved
that a cable could be laid between Great
Britain and America, and he believed that it
was possible to make one which would
work when it was laid. Certain defect in
the paying out machinery, and more serious
faults in the construction of the cable itself
were avoided the next time, and on the 2lst
of July, 1865, he sailed again from Valentin
Bay, paying out the costly rope over the
stern of the Great Eastern. We all remem-
ber how an accident to the machinery caused
tbe‘loss of the cable when the voyage was
more than half over; how they grappled it
three time, in 2 1-2 miles of water, but had
no rope strong enough to lift it on board,snd
how the enterprise was then abandoned for
the year.
