A lady in Gold Hill caught a negro tampering with her child, aged nine years and gave the alarm; the neighbours caught him and were about to hang him, but finally took him to the mother, who gave him 200 lasheß and then tried to shoot him. Two fine locomotives have been sent across to Sierra by horse power, and are now being put together for use upon the Trackee River and eastern portion of the road, until the gap at Coburn's makes an unbroken rail to Sacramento, which will be about the 30th of June.
