KOOSER] [transcriber -- very lengthy article; I transcribed portions having to do with his personal and family history] With the close of the past volume, we (the editor) retired from the control of the editorial columns of the San Andreas Independent. the enterprise which we started 2 years agoOver 12 years ago, in the flush of youthful expectation and adventure, we left the home of our boyhood for this, then unknown and almost fabled country. It was in times of war, when our country demanded the services of the young and the patriotic. We responded to the exigency, freely surrendering 5 years -- the best years of our life -- to that service. If those 5 years produced but little pecuniary gain, or tended still less to advance our plan of life, it is at least a subject of pride to know that we have faithfully served on the tented field, under the most glorious banner of nations. During the 6 or 7 years that have intervened since our quitting the army, our lot has been cast in the midst of the exciting scenes that stirred the men of California and roused into thrilling life the sleeping atoms of a new world. We have mined, printed and edited, with varied success; but still with a constant eye upon the unpretending goal of our earlier hopes. Many a phantom that rose to lure us for a moment with ignis-fatuus light, we have had the bad luck to pursue; visions of wealth we have had -- empty as ephemeral, but they never seduced us from straight path of honest industry. One of the earliest pioneers, we have seen this now beautiful country in the palmy days of her blissful ignorance and sluggish reposeAnd now, with health impaired and the fire of youth considerably abated, we begin to turn our eye towards the home of our childhoodAway, in the spruce-environed glades of the Alleghanies, over 12 years ago, we left an aged father, and relatives dear to us. Once more, eer we pass the mid way of this our mortal life, we long to see them, and renew in memory the haunts of boyhoodTo this end it has been necessary that we retire from the editorial duties of the Independent and in doing so we bid all our readers a long and final editorial adieu. It also affords us pleasure to assure the reader that one of the ablest and best of these contributors is to be the future editor of this paper -- Mr. Samuel SEABOUGH. Mr. S. is a practical printer and well calculated to fill the important and responsible position he has assumed In conclusion, we tender out thanks to the contemporary press for the many courtesies and kind encouraging words received and may oblivion bury all differences and grievances, if any there be, which may have been called into existence by thoughtless words, heedlessly spoken. Benj. P. KOOSER ------------------------------------------------ >MRS. LUCY ANDERSON, wife of ex-Lieut. Gov. ANDERSON, recently died at Placerville of consumption. SHOOTING at MURPHYS -- A friend informs us that on Saturday last a Mexican woman was shot by a man who had for sometime past been living with her. The womans name is PATRITO. The wound is considered dangerous. Cause, jealousy. Perpetrator, escaped. MR. JOS. KNIGHT -- We desire to return our sincere thanks to this gentleman, the agent of Wells, Fargo & Co.s Express in this town. Since the establishment of the Independent, he has been its indefatigable friend, always favoring us with the fullest and earliest files of exchanges and befriending us by his liberality, in numberless attentions. Mr. K. is a prompt and energetic business man; and mingles in his associations with the business world that suavity and courtesy which indicate the man of genuine good heart. We owe him much, and feel that this is a most unsubstantial way of discharging the obligation. PERSONAL -- We are happy to announce that an old and esteemed resident of this county, Mr. W. CARLOW, has safely arrived from the Atlantic States, with his wife and children, all in good health. Mr. C. formerly resided at the town of Carsons, where he is very well known as an industrious citizen, and has hosts of friends. PARTICULARS of the LATE ROBBING Near LOTTMANs Ranch -- Mr. RUSSELL, the teamster who was robbed about a week ago, by 3 highwaymen near LOTTMANs Ranch, informs us that he drove away from LATIMERs store about sundown, and before he had proceeded far, a man with a bundle of blankets fastened to a stick, thrown across his shoulder, met him in the road and asked the privilege of riding. Mr. R. told him to get in. They had proceeded but a short distance from this point, when 2 men stepped out before his mules and commanded him to stop. Turning round to see in what spirit his foot-sore passenger took the matter, he found the ingrate standing close to him with a large knife drawn. Before Mr. R. could speak, the fellow in the wagon informed him that it was his money they wanted, and demanded that he should shell out with dispatch. They unbooted him and got $47.75. Afterwards they rummaged through his blankets and clothes to obtain more, and finally ripped open a sack of barley in the wagon, thinking it might possibly contain money. One of the robbers is described as a man over 6 feet in hight, rather slim and lank-visaged, sallow complexion, dark beard and hair, and going tolerably well dressed. RE-ESTABLISHMENT of the TELEGRAPH OFFICE -- Ever since the fire we have been without a telegraph office in this place, to the great dissatisfaction of merchants, printers and news-mongers. We are happy to announce that Mr. Robt. H. BROTHERTON will re-establish an office here on the 1st of October. Mr. B. is one of the best operators in the State. *ADVERTISEMENTS* *Hotels, Restaurants, &c. -Calaveras Restaurant and Bakery, Main Street, San Andreas; Eating EstablishmentMeals at all hoursattached to the Restaurant is a BarADAMS & GILBERT, Proprietors -Antelope Restaurant; Main street, opposite the Union House, Mokelumne HillThe Bar is stockedJohn FORD, Proprietor -Empire Bakery & Restaurant, Main street, next door to Odd Fellows Hall, San Andreas; B.
