By a letter received here u day or two since, says the Albany linji'ter, we learn that Thos. E. Westlake, oldest son of Cyrus estlake, Esq., lato a resident of this city, was hung by a mob at Cottonwood, Shsta Co., Cal., a short time since, under the following circum stances ; Thomas Westlake had an alterca tion with a young man named John McCool, aged 25, who had come tn California some four years previously. Westlake and McCool met at fosters notel, esuaise ueing on ins nap from Modoc county to Hollister, where his mother lives. They drank together soveral times, and soon had a disagreement, McCool being reported as saj ing ; " I don't know whether they arc any re ation to the West lakes who live in Cottonwood or not, but they are regular d d scoundrels, " etc., etc., using strong language, indicating that they were a terrible set. At last Westlake told McCool to leave him, and he didn't want to hear any more talk about the Westlakei; not to como near him or take a step toward him McCool answered that he was a mail as well as West lake.and that he would go toward him (West lake) twenty-five feet, and proceeded to go toward Wctl.iko. When he had taken a couple of steps toward him, Westlake pulled nut his revolver ami-shot him. tho ball strik ing at the lower part of the breast-bone, taking, a downward course after leaving the breast bone. Westlake was arrested, as it was at first supposed that the wound would not prove fatal, Westlake was released ou SfoOO bonds, after a preliminary examination, when he pro ceeded on Ins journey. Shortly afte1- McCoole died. Westlake was rearrested, tried aud fouad guilty in thn second degree. A new trial was applied for and granted, when he was acquitted. The citiens then took the matter in hand, and before Westlako could get away they caught and hung him. This is, in substance, the facts as c gather them from tho Journal and from the private letter above alluded to.

Co,, ar rived in this city yesterday morning, says the Walla Walla Journal, ou business connected with the company, ami during his stay paid a visit to this otlioe. Wo found Mr. Muir to be a gentleman of pleasing address and quick perception, and, although apparently rather a young man to hold the responsible position which ho occupies, ho is untiring in his efforts in the company's behalf and gives general sat isfaction. Mr. Muir haid that if the people would only give the matter a thought they could easily see that their interests and those of the company were identical. By lending aid to the settlement of the country and the encouragement of the growing of cereals he O. R. & N. Company expect to reap a benefit in coniunctmn with the settler, ana to tins end Mr. Muir has made the price of freight on gr.iiu from Waitsburg and Dayton the same as from this city, and as soon as tho mad is completed to Grange City the same rates will bo maintained from this point. By this policy the company hope to encourage settlement in this section," enrich the country, place tho ter ritory on the high road of becoming n State and make the O. R. iV N. roids profitable by having their carrying capacity fully utiiucd. Found lliitlmuil. ' About a week ago, says the Walla Walla Journal, there arrived in this city from San Francisco a handsome looking German girl of 20 years, who registered at tho St. Louis Ho tel under tlie name oi isearu. one nau trav eled all the way from Iowa in search of a rec ream. ltel, wllu, mtci crr&viiiig 111. iiiih, n.i fled to tho country. Arriving at San Francis co she heard that the one so anxiously sought had left for Walla Walla. Again sho started on her voyage, and on reaching this city, with only $5 in her possession, discouraged and sick at heart with maternal labors fast coming on, she endeavored to obtain a position as ser vant and in this way get licrwlf a home, at least until tho birth of her child. Applying at Hull's boarding boarding houw she was questioned sharply ami told Mrs. Hull the story ot her ruin. Tho fact of the casu being noised about at the house, tho sad narrative mill interestinor condition aroused tho sympa thies of an old man by the name of Biker, who is fast approachiug the winter of 'life.

KumiHia un llonrl the 11IIihIiiI After the Mississippi was made fast to her dock on Sunday evening a number of tli crew went ashore and visited a saloon, where considerable liquor was imbibed in the celc bration of their safe arrival. Becoming rither noisy they were conveyed on board by Officer Mott. but a runner of a siilors hnardimr house, on Dretense of being a steve doi-e in the employ of the company to whom the steamer belongs, succeeded in getting ou board with a quantity of whisky. This was soon disposed of by the already intoxicated sailors and yesterday morning they were in such a state of insubordination that the po lice were sent for. Chief Lapwm and Capt. Gritzmaker proceeded on board, accompanied by a couple of officers and eight of the crew were fired ashore bag and baggage, while two of the most iusuhor.iinate were arrested, ar raigned in the police court and fined 210 each.

A Portland drum mer desired to go fishing bright and early, passed through the room, rod in hand, about 4 o'clock Sunday morning. The crazy man being awakened by the noise of footsteps, and tha light at that early hour, being uncertain, be took it into his head that the commercial gentleman was about to murder bun, he picked up a club and went for tho drummer with telling effect. The cries of the latter soon brought the sheriff and inmates of the hotel to his relief, who speedily rescued him from his unpleasant predicament. He vows that he will never start out fishing agaiu on a Sunday, New Mine on toe Santiam. Dr. Trow bridge and T. B. Maxwell left yesterday morning for the north fork of the Sanliam to thoroughly pro.pect a new silver mine lately discovered in that auction.

The Dassengersou the Lebanon express train for this city Monday morning were witnesses of quite an exciting littlo incident. When the train stopped at Aurora a young gentleman and lady came on board, who had no sooner entered a car than the young lady was seized by a passenger, who proved to be her mother, who hurled a number of epithets at her escort.calling htm a contemptible puppy, a miserable hound, etc., until he turned and fled up the track. It stems thit the girl is a daughter of Mr. Ben 'Brown, a well-to-do farmer, who resides near Woodburn Station, and that tho young man is an engineer who has been employed in a saw mill near by. He had fallen in love with her and the love had been reciprocated, but their union had been forbidden by tho stern parents,and he induced her to elope with him. They left Woodburn on Sunday evening and came to Aurora, where they were taking passage for the Gretna Green of the Northwest, Vancouver, when all their hopes of bliss were dissipated by the unsus pected arrival of the girl's mother, who, hav ing obtained an inkling of their intentions, had taken passage on the train in search ot the fugitives. Mrs. Brown stated that the girl was the only one she had left and that she was only 14 years old; that sho would not have cared so much if she bad been older and the young man had been of any account, but she said he was a worthless, useless, crack brained fellow, who could ncvor call her mother-in-law by her consent. Sho took her daughter off tho train to await the arrival ot the south bound train, by which they would return home. AKUIV.tl. OF TIIK MISISIITI. Thesteamcr Mississippi, E. W.
