the 24th of March we get the follows
ing items: Alfred Slocum, charged
with embezzling the Territorial funds,
has had his trial, which was very closei
ly argued and contested. The World
says: ., . ,
We understand that the jury failed
to agree on a verdict, and that, thore
is but litllo probability of their ever
doing so standing nine for acquittal.
Such is the result of all the flood of
misreprosentions anckfulsehoods which
have poured over the Country about
the facts in the case. Tho jury was
composed of fair, unprejudiced in or
many of whom knew nothing, pre
viously, of the case. If such u jury
failed to convict, no jury over will
find the defendant guilty. If there is
any money duo the Territory it will
undoubtedly soon be paid.
Miners are receiving six dollars per
day as wages. ' There is not a suffi
cient numner of men now in tho Busin
to work the claims that will rt quire
hands during the Spring. A number
of ditches are being cleared out and
water will soon be running in all di
rections, and more men will be wuat
ed than are to be obtained unless there
is a greitor immigration this spring
than is now anticipated. Such being
the case, it is folly for men who really
desire to work and make good wages,
to wander off to Blackfoot, or any
other country. -.
Thero is a great excitement con.

ISvThr Recovered Child. We have been
southern boundary of Mr. Logan's 'kindly furnished by Mr. Miller, of this city,
with (he following extract from the Qulncy,
(111.) Herald, giving the full particulars of
the recovery of the lost son of Mr. Sylvester,
of Albany, Oregon. Mr. Miller received with
it a photograph of the boy, taken since his
recovery, and be la truly an intelligent look
ing little le low.
Late yesterday evening Mr. J. A. Sylves
tcr, of this city, called at our uflicc, accom
panied by his fiephew, Qeo Henry Sylvester,
who was captured by the Indians in June,
18U1, on the Humboldt river, in Nevada Ter
ritory, at that time, while on his way to
Oregon. We will give the account of his life
with the Indians and bis escape from them
In his own words as near as possible. ' After
living with them about live years, and be
coming weary of the life he was leading,
concluded to make bis escape, if possible
and return to his Iriends, the pale faces.
lie speaks but little English, but enough to
enable us to understand bow be made his
escape, which is as follows I He was sen
out to watch a train of sixteen wagons, bu
before ttolnar told his captors that be would
not run away; and would be back in a short
time.- They took his bang (gun) away from
him. for fear the " pale faces " would get it.
lie then started and traveled over sleep
(night) and ki.Ied bis pony by bard riding
and after that was compelled to travel or
foot. The second night b built a fire for
the ourDOse of keeninit off the iirar wolves.
and tin the fifth sun, (day,) reached the big
warriors, (13th Mo. Cavalry, commandod by
Col. King.) On bis trip ho bad nothing lo
tat but dammie. ox and crow.' He reached
J ibe above regiment On the 27ih of $9X; 1805
of Mr. Sylves er, Ms uncle. The Democrat
slated that the regiment would lie in St.
Louis between the 1st and lath of January,
18G6. Mr. S. then forwarded a communica
tion to Col. King, who after airiving at St.
Louis, bad the lioy's likeness taken, which
he sent to Mr. S., who recognized it imme
diately as bis brother's son. -He also re-
kceived a letter from Capt. Hint, Asst. Q. M.,
s'ating that the boy was in charge ot Col.
King, and bad left St. Louis for Jefferson
City. Mr. S then left here for Jefferson and
anived there on Friday, Feb. 2d, and met
Col. King and his nephew at the depot, just
on the eve of leaving for North Missouri.
He recognized the boy as soon as he saw
him, and made b 8 bu-inecs known to the
Colonel, and showed him the likeness of the
boy and his little brother and two sisters,
who at once saw a fum ly resemblance. Mr.
S. and the Colonel then agreed to place the
likenesses in the hands of some five or six
representatives the legislature . being in
session at the time and let them form their
own judgment as to their family resemblance,
wben they agreed that they all belonued to
the same family. Mr. J. A. Sylvester was
recognized by Hon. Chas Uowlund, foi merly
of this city, and now Senator from St. Louis
county, as being the brother of II. Sylvester,
of Dal es City, Oregon. Col. King being
satisfied with the decision of the above
named gentlemen, placed tho boy in the
ands of Mr. a., acting in belinit of his bro
ther, and arrived with him here late yester
day afternoon.
The boy is about twelvo years old, well
ade, has black hair nnd very keen black
ves, and is very intelligent, nnd we think
it will be but a short time until be again be
comes familiar with bis native tongue.
