CORX SONG.
uj" J. g. -wHrrriEit.
Heap high the farmer's wintery hoard r
Heap high the golden corn ;
Ub richer gift the autumn poured
From out her lavish horn.
Let other lnnds, exulting? glean
The apple from the pine:
The orange from its glossy green.
The cluster from the vine.
"We better love the hardy gift
Our rugged vales bestow.
To cheer us when the storm shall drift
Our harvest field with snow.
Through vales of grass and flowers
Our plows their farrows made.
While on the hill the sun and showers
Of changeful April played.
"We dropped the seed o'er hill and plaint
Beneath the sun of May,
And frightened from our sprouting grain
The robber crows away.
All through the long bright days of June
Its leaves grew bright and fair.
And waved in hot midsummer noon,
Its soft and snowy hair.
And now with autumn's moonlit eyes.
Its harvest time Is come,
"We pluck away Its frosty leaves.
And bear Its treasures home.
Then richer than the fabled gifts
Apollo showered of old,
Fair hands the broken grains shall sift,
And knead Its meal of gold.
Let vapid idlers roll In silk.
Around the costly board,
Give us the bowl of samp and milk,
By homespun beauty poured.
Then shame on all the proud and vain,
Whose folly laughs to scorn
The blessings of our hardy grain;
Our wealth of golden corn,
Let earth withhold her goodly root ;
Let mildewiblight Ihe rye;
Give to the worm the orchard fiult,
And wheat fields to the fly.
But let the good old crop adorn
The hills our fathers trod ;
Still let us for his golden corn
Send up our thanks to God.
THE MINER'S REVENGE.
A Sfcetcli of Early Times In California.
The sketch which I give you, dear
readers, is a true one, the main feat
ures of which will be recognized as
more than a "mere coinage of the
brain" by thousands of persons now
residing in California. Of the death
of Frederick Roe at the bands of the
populace of Sacramento in the spring
of 1851, the reasons of it, the reader is
still remindful, for it was one of the
most determined outbursts of popular
Indignation and vengeance which any
single individual had, by his crimes,
brought down upon himself, since
California had become an American
possession ; nor has it scarcely been
equaled since.
The first time I ever saw Roe was
In the fall of 1850. I was traveling
through Bidwell's Bar, a village of
considerable note on'the Feather riv
er, when I noticed a large crowd of
persons collected at the upper end of
the town, assembled for the purpose
of administering fifty lashes to an in
dividual in whose possession had been
found a couple of gold coins which
liad been identified as belonging to
another person. In addition to that
punishment, tho popular verdict was
that his head should be shaved, and
two hours given him to take his final
leave of that section of the country.
The man was a perfect stranger to the
village, having taken up his residence
at that place some two days previous,
and the fact that his accuser was a
gambler, and that it was at the insti
gation of that peculiar class that he
was being punished, aroused a suspi
cion in my mind of the justice of his
sentence, which wasmuch strength
ened by the honest and open bearing
of the man, and ;the earnest candor
with which he avowed his innocence.
His name was Wals worth, and from
different statements I soon became
convinced that thematterstood thus:
That morn lag Walsworth was stand
ing in a gambling house watching a
game of monte, when Roe, who was
engaged In betting against it with no
success, managed to take from the ta
ble, while In the act of "cutting" the
cards, two Bolivian ounce pieces, up
on which had been scratched, for some
reason, a peculiar mark. These he
handed to Walsworth, telling him to
bet them for him, merely to change
his luck. Knowing but little about
the game, he at first refused, but, up
on being pressed, he took the coins
and threw one upon the table. The
piece was recognized by the dealer,
who asked Walsworth how he came
by it. The victim informed him that
It had been given him to try his luck
with, and pointed to Roe, who was
standing at tho other side of the room,
ns the man from whom he had ob
tained them. Roe was called for, but
seeing how matters were, denied that
he had given It to the man, or that he
had ever seen him before. Walsworth
was instantly searched, and the other
piece was found in his pocket, which
he, of course, accounted for in the
same manner as the first, but which
Roe again denied. Circumstances
were against Walsworth, for it was
certainly considered a singular trans
action for a man to trust his money in
the hands of a stranger, and Roe was
well known on the Bar, and the oth
er was not ; the word of the former
was taken in preference, and the lat
ter, after a hasty trial, was sentenced
to the punishment he was receiving
on my arrival. Owing to the number
of persons surrounding him, I was
unable to get a sight of him until he
had received his sentence in full, and
was on his way down the river, after
making an unsuccessful search thro'
the town for Roe. He left an open
note for him, however, which was
read by myself and several others be
fore it reached its destination, which
read, as near as I can recollect, thus :
"Mr. Roe Sir: Through your vil
lainy I have suffered a humiliating
disgrace a dishonor whioh will ren
der my life one of misery to its latest
hour. I am innocent, as you well
know, and had not my time been lim
ited to. two short hours, y.our dyiug
breath should have acknowledged it
ere another hour. I shall now live
but for one thing revenge. Go where
you may, my eyes fchall be upon you ;
and, eo sure rs there is a God above,
ray satisfaction shall, in less than one
year, be complete and dreadful.
"Jacob Walsworth."
The next time I sat? Roe was tipon
the occasion and at the time mention
ed in the beginning of this sketch.
He was then a French monte-dealer,
and carried on his occupation as such
in a disreputable den on the corner of
Front and J streets in Sacremento
City.
On the morning of the day of his
death he drank pretty freely, and be
ing very irritable when under the in
fluence of liquor, he ordered from the
table a miner who had made remarks
to a bystander in relation to the hon
esty of the game. The miner refused
and a rough and tumble fight in front
of the house was the consequence. A
teamster attempted to separate them,
when Roe pulled a revolver from his
belt and shot him, causing a wound
which proved fatal two days after.
Roe was arrested and lodged in the
station house, then located In the
basement of a brick buildiug on the
corner of Second and J streets. Thimble-riggers
and French monte sharps
were getting into bad odor and as
soon as the circumstances of the mur
derous attempt became known or
rather as soon as it was noised about
the streets that such a deed had been
perpetrated by a gambler upon an
"honest, hard-working man," acrowd
commenced gathering in front of the
station-house, which in half an hour
swelled to the number of some two
hundred persons. TJp to this time but
little excitement had been manifest
ed by the assemblage, and I have no
reason to believe that the thought of
lynching him had been entertained
or even suggested by a single individ
ual present; they had collected from
motives of curiosity a desire "to
learn the particulars," and Hothing
more. At this moment the startling
cry of "Hang him ! hang the mur
derer!" burst from a single throat in
the crowd, but the tone in which it
was uttered was so loud, firm and de
cisive, that all eyes were instantly
turned upon the speaker, who was a
man of perhaps. forty years of age,
with a stout, well-formed person, and
a long, heavy beard which covered
his face to his eyes. He was a stran
ger to thosepresent, but his intelligent-looking
face and the garb of a
miner, in which he was dressed, enti
tled him to some respect, and as he
slowly mounted an empty merchan
dise box not a word escaped from the
crowd. He romoved his hat, and,
turning, pointed toward the prison,
and addressed the gathering:
"In that prison," ho said, '
murderer, a thief and gambler.
is a
He
has murdered a peaceable citizen be
fore your ej'es, and is now waiting for
his money to buy his release, and to
stalk forth again in your midst with
the blood of his victim upon his
hands! There is no such thitigas law
in California for the punishment of
such villains except it be administer-
ed directly by the people.
I say,
bring him out and hang him as high
aaHaman. "SYho says yes to it?"
The miner descended from his ros
trum, but not until he had fired the
train. His words had the desired ef
fect, and a hundred voices took up the
savage shout, and "Hang him! hang
him!" resounded through the assem
blage, which was rapidly increasing
in numbers as well as violence, until
the streets adjoining the prison were
densely packed. Shouts of vengeance
and defiance of law now went up
from every quarter, striking terror to
the heart of the ironed culprit as he
heard hi3 sentence pronounced by the
excited mob without. The whole po-
lice force of the city was stationed
around the door of the prison and the j
Mayor vainly resorted to aiteruate
threats and'promise3 to disperse the
crowd. The only answers v-ere groans
and hisses, mingled with cries of
"Break the door down:'' "Bring a
rope!-' "Haug the murderer!"
The miner who had Ignited the
flame, satisfied with his work, with
drew from the crowd, and with his
arms folded, silently awaited the re
sult. The streets near the prison now be
came a solid mass of human beings ;
saloons, hotels and restaurants were
deserted, and clerks, waiters and pro
prietors joined the excited mob and
lent their voices to the general cry.
At length a demonstration was made
toward the prison door. Upon a bal
cony overlooking it appeared the
Mayor of the city, who arrested the
movement by again asking to be
heard. He appealed to them as good
citizens to disperse pledging himself
that the murderer should not escape,
but be tried, and if found guilty,
hung. Citizens did the same, but
nothing chould shake the determina
tion of their auditors; the cry of
"Down with him," and groans and
hisses and Insults, now greeted all
who spoke in favor of the prisoner.
Five o'clock came; the crowd was
still congregated in threatening num
bers around the prison ; hour after
hour had been consumed in listening
to speeches and suggestions, which
had been received by groans, or shouts
of approval, according their charac
ter. The mob was getting impatieut
and in a few minutes more would
have forced the door of the prison,
when a proposal was made which re
ceived the almost unanimous approv
al of the assemblage.
It was, that a jury of twelve men
be selected, that witnesses should be
examined, and that the prisoner
should be tried and a verdict pro
nounced within two hours. The jury
was selected, who repaired to the Or
leans Hotel, and the trial was com
menced. The evidence was conclus
ive of the guilt of the prisoner there
could be but one opinion. Yet for
hour after hour the announcement of
the verdict was withheld by the jury,
in hope of the dispersion of the
crowd as the evening advanced. Elev
en o'clock drew near, and still no di
minution of the number could be
observed. A great portion of them
wero collected around the Orleans,
and the cry of "Verdict! Verdict!
Give us the verdict!'' now greeted
the ears of the jurors, who, seeing the
uselessness of longer deferring the an
nouncement of their decision, came
forward, and from the balcony of that
hotel pronounced the verdict of guil
ty upon the prisoner, which was re
ceived with a shout of triumph by the
crowd. t
A rush for the prison was made ;
long lines of armed police were sta-
tioned on each side of the door, as
well as inside the prison, who had or -
ders to shoot down the first man who
attempted to force an entrance. This,
for a moment, seemed to check the
infuriated mob a3 they gathered round
the door, apparently waiting for some
one to take the lead. But it was only
for a moment that they quailed before
the determined front of the police, for
the next, the bearded miner who had
first applied the match to the train
whose flames were now about to de
vour the prisoner, stepped boldly to
the door, and was followed by a score
of strong arms bearing a huge beam
to be used as a batteriug-ram in break
ing through the wall which divided
tbem from their victim. The hands
of the officers were on their weapons,
but the miner stood unterrified in
their midst, and calmly informed
them that to draw one drop of blood
at that moment would be to bring up
on themselves a punishment as dire as
that which no earthly power could
prevent the prisoner from receiving.
The crowd endorsed the speaker with
a most terrific yell the ponderous
beam was brought against the door
with a orash that shook the building
to its very centre theEpolice gave
way and the next moment tho fren
zied mob stood in the presence of
lheir victim, who, paralyzed with
fear, lay prostrate in his chains. The
irons were filed and broken from his
limbs, and an escort, followed by the
whole immense assemblage, bore him
In triumph to a large oak near the
corner of K and Seventh streets, be
neath a sturdy branch of which he
was guarded while the preparations
for his execution were progressing.
The night was intensely dark, not
a solitary star looking down upon the
prisoner to cheer him with a smilo for
the future, and the frown of Him who
has said, "Vengeance is mine, and I
II II 1 l. ? tUa

black and lowering clouds which hov
ered over that solemn scene. Torches
were lighted, which cast their dim
glare into the pale features of the pris
oner, disclosing to him the determin
ed faces of his executioners, and the
vast concourse of spectators which
surrounded him on every side. A rope
was at length procured, the knot ad
justed over the neok of the culprit,
the rope passed around the limb
above, when he was asked if he had
any requests to make or anything to
say. He replied in the negative and
when questioned concerning his na-
tivity and relatives, he had strength
only to answer that he was a native
of England, where his mother was
then residing.
"Now comes my "turn!" cried the
bearded miner.
The order to "haul away" was giv
en ; a dozen men gave a pull upon the
rope, and the corpse of Frederick Roe
hung dangliug between the heavens
and the earth.
I will not describe that scene, al
though it was the most solemn and
impressive I have ever beheld ; my
intention is to show whether Jacob
Walsworth fulfilledhis oath, which
I think he did, to the very letter, for
the miner and Jacob Walsworth were
one. Golden Era.
REMARKABLE CRIMINALS.
Arrest of n. Gang of Youthful Robbers
Depravity of the Lowest Type
Xiaatoolufr Victims on the
Highway.
Philadelphia Correspondence the New York
Herald, Dec. 10th.
For some time "past the police au
thorities of this city have been trou
bled with a series of complaints of
petty thefts, burgiarie3 and tho like,
the perpetrators of which have care
fully avoided all detection. Houses
would be robbed and no.one arrested.
Rooms would be entered, clothing,
jewelry and silverware be stolen, and
no one arraigned. Indeed, the thefts
would occur so often and under such
a strange complexity of circumstan
ces, that, for a long time past, the au
thorities have been bafiled. Last
evening, however, a young boy, John
Webster by name, entered a pawnbro
ker's shop in the city, and, upon pre
sentation of a letter purporting to have
been written by his father, secured an
an advance of $30 upon a gold watch
aud chain, with Masonic seal attach
ed. The character of the letter was
so peculiar that it aroused;somewhat
the pawnbroker's suspicions, which
were confirmed when, after watching
the lad, he saw him dividiug the
money with a companion. Webster
was arrested, and on his person was
found $10.85. Upon subsequent in
vestigation it was learned that the
other party was the thief and that
Webster had been simply disposing ,
or tne stolen property. &un later,
turougn Webster's talk, tnree otuer
juveniles were arrested, in the posses
sion of whom were found many Bto
Ien goods and pawn tickets calling for
various amounts. No sooner had the
actual condition of affairs been made
known than the Chief of the Poliee
ordered investigations to be contin
ued, while Webster himself gives to
your correspondent the following re
markable history of his life :
A REMARKABLE HISTORY.
I am fifteen years old, and ran away
from home about ten weeks ago. I
had read Claude Duval, Dick Turpin,
and other books of that kind, and
made up my mind to be a highway
man. As soon as I left home I tnnb
up quarters in a thieves' den in Bed
ford street. Had read a good deal
about lassoing in Mexico, and I got a
rope and made it into the shape of a
lasso. I then put up a stake in the
back yard and began to practice with
the rope. I very soon became an ex.-
pert, and could lasso the stake three
..,. - in i in ' "' ' "'"" """" ' "- ' " " ' ,
times out of five. My idea, as soon as
T hpnnmn nprfect. was to co on the road
j and lasso men. In my thieving 1 was
very lucky.
I MADE $200 A "WEEK.
I wanted to buy a horse one that
could run and jump, and lay over
anything on the road. I know a
young girl I won't tell her other
name, but her first name is Fannie
she is just as old as I am fifteen
years. She and I were to be married
j uext week ; butl've been pulled now,
1 an(j x suppose all that little business is
bursted up. I have been living with
a man named Fay. Fourteen other
j fellows, just like me, lived with Fay,
t00 Fav 3 a ric man, and owns a
Dg place in Camden. Fay charged
me and all the other boys fifteen cents
a night. We all used to take what we
stole to his place. He'd never let us
sleep with our clothes on ; we all
turned in naked. When business
was dull all Fay would give us to eat
was a bucketful of old crusts, scraps,
&c.t which he would throw into an
old box and leave -us alone to our
pickings.
You see, I could change my ap
pearance mighty quick. This shirt of
mine has three fronts a white one, a
blue one and a red one. I can change
my hat and coat and shirt front as
quick as lightning. If I could have
raised enough to get a horse I could
have gone out along the country
roads that run into the town; could
have lassoed plenty of people, and got
lots of "swag." I'm most bothered
because Fannie and me can't get mar
ried next week.
FAY ARRESTED.
The reader ha3 above, the boy's sto
rv iust as he narrated it. Little Web-
j ater is young, bright and intelligent,
while he delivered his biography in
the coolest, most nonchalant manner
imaginable. His history gave the po
lice a new wrinkle, and at three o'
clock this morning the Chief, along
with several of hisableat officers,
made a raid upon Fay's den. The
place was located on Water street, be
low Vine, and the appearance of the
police was entirely unexpected. The
place where the boys slept was a dir
ty cellar, dark, noisome and abomin
able, reeking with foul air, filled with
fumes of whisky, tobacco and decay
ing garbage, and overrun with every
species of vermin. Like Fagin of
"Oliver Twist," Fay was found with
fourteen of his "angels," and taken
to the station-house, He begged and
pleaded to be let go, remonstrating
and insisting that the police had no
right to intrude, but all his prayers
and remonstrances were in vain.
ANOTHER DENCLEANED OUT.
The police also made' another raid
upon a similar den on Water street,
above Arch, where five boys were
found under the guardianship of a
, mau narne(j Kelley. These were also
arre3ted. Buckets full of trinketsand
jewelry were found, along with many
, 8tolen goodSt a great parfc of whjch
hag beeu aJreadv identified. There
were found numerous cases of juven
ile depravity so startling as to seem
almost incredible.
Kelly and Fay had hearings before
the Alderman this afternoon, and
both were held under very heavy bail.
Since the arrest of the young thieves
many burglaries hitherto inexplica-
oable have been explained. Young
I Webster, from living around old Fay's
den, was covered with vermin, but
since his arrest has been cleaned and
has become quite penitent. Though
i only fifteen j-ears old, he is quite a
disciple to the "tender passion," aud
says that if "they'll only let him go"
he'll lead a new life with his girl wife
Fannie, for a guide. He also believes
in "Fate," and says that a fortune
teller a few days ago predicted to him
that he would soon get into trouble.
Altogether he is one of the most re
markable prisoners ever held In cus
tody, and at the same time one of the
most valuable, as he eaya.he can give
the history of many recent burglaries
which up to this time have escaped
the vigilance of the police.
SEE THAT AIR BUTE.
Julius Romburger, a small and a
good natured one, called on a shoe
maker on Gratiot street yesterday to
have achat, and he was asked to mind
the shop for a few minutes while Cris
pin ran down to get his dog licensed.
Juliu3 was sitting on his bench,
meditating, when a big fellow enter
ed and holding up a foot, exclaimed,
'See. that air bute, will yer!" Then he
held up the other and said, "And
that air one!" Then he jumped up
and down until the shop shook, and
added, "I kin lick the man who
makes butes that fall to pieces in two
weeks!"
Mr. Romburger took the matter
calmly and replied?" "What don't
I know aboud dem boods, eh !''
Then the strancer neeled his coat.
pitched it into a corner and replied :
I'm going to have my six dollars
back or hash ye up I"
"I say, vat you subbose I don'd
know aboud dem boods?" shouted
Julius, crawfishing into a corner.
Oh! won't you be purty when I
get through with ye!" roared the
stranger, pitching his vest after his
coat.
"I don'd know someding aboud
dem boods, I say !' called Mr. Rom
burger as he got behind a roll of sole
leather.
"Oh! no, Iknow yer don't," replied
the man ; "you didn't take my six
dollars oh! no you didn't warrant
these 'ere butes oh ! no you didn't
take me for a sucker and throw tar on
my coat-tails oh ! no! But." add
ed he, leaping up and coming down
with a jar, "come down with
them six dollars or I'll make
cow-meat of ye In iust fhrr.v-
nine seconds as the bird flies.'
Mr. Eomburger swore by his no3e
he wan't the man ; that be was only a
friend ; that he never saw the boots be
fore ; but the stranger was obstinate,
and finally Mr. Romburger handed
over six dollars to avoid being mash-
ea.
The wild-eyed bandit shoved the
money down in his pocket, got into
his coat and vest and walked out
with the remark:
"When a man wants to make butes
for me hewants to make butes!"
