The Nevada journal., 1851-10-16

How truthful are the following
sentiments of the eminent French au-
thor, M. Chastel =
SELF>MADE MEN, do not won
der that great men have been born
mechanics. For those who have been
brought up exclusively in drawing
rooms, intelligence is game, a recre-
alton for those who have held the
sword or the helm, who have driven
the plough or worked with the chisel,
intelligence becomes passion, force
beauty, a worship, love divine
1t is from the stall, the shop, the work
room, that the most powerful minds
have issued Molierc from the uphol-
ster's, Burns from the farmers, Shake
speare from the hosier's shop, Rous-
seau from the wheelwright's. Long
engaged in struggle with physical
nature, they all took refuge in the free
domain Of thought. Even an inferior
mind would become tempered 10
strength in these mechanical apprcn-
ticeships ; and if ever the spirit Of re-
form which is seizing on the world
should extend to the act of creating
citizens, l doubt not that good sense
will gain victory over custom, and
that one ofthe most important parts of
every education will be henceforth the
due admixture of the dcvcIopemcnt of
the mind and Of its action on nature.

himself to carry out the design; but
he fell dead at the crack Of the
unerring rife. Another attempt to
burn the house being attended with
like success, the Indians fed, with a
loss of fifteen killed and several woun-
dcd.
After the Indians had retreated,
young Blackburn and his wife went
down to the ferry boat, crossed to the
other side of the river, and were soon
relieved by the timely approach OF
three well armed Americans, to whom
they related their story Upon being
asked by them if his father was safe,
Blackburnin astonishment asked 'why
the question :" The Americans in
formed him that his father, who had
come up from San Diego to see him,
had the previous evening crossed the
river at the rancho three miles below,
and was on the road TO his sons house,
This was the first intimation he had
received Of his fathers intended visit
They re-crossed the river, and taking
the road which led from the house
down stream, on the hill within hun
dred yards of the house, they found
the lifcless body of Rlackburn's father
his throat cut, and weltering in his
blood. From that spot the house
could not be seen, for the thick under
growth intervening. He had been in
humanity murdered by the savages the
evening before. In the war which
followed, Blackburn had frequent OPP
portunities TO avenge his fathers
death. We may challenge the world
to produce an instance of more cool
and determined courage, than that dis
played in the foregoing narrative.

From the Los Angeles Star.
THRILLING INCIDENT.

California is forming her history Of
brilliant deeds. She, too, has among
her hardy pioneers, men Of as noble
daring as ever trod the soil Of other
climes. The energy that is upheaving
streams and scaling mountains in pur-
suit of the glittering ore, when called
forth, will stand out in bold relief in
the field of chivalry.
The following instance of heroic
valor characterizes her noble sons,
and is unsurpassed by any Of the nu-
merous cases of desperate rand sue
cessful encounter, recorded in the an
nails Of the past.
At the time that thousands were at
tractcd last spring, TO the region Of
Trinidad Bay, by the reports Of rich
placers there, young man by the
name of Blackburn, established a fer
ry on the klamath, forty miles from
the Bay. Here he lived on friendly
terms with large rancherie of Indians
near him. But under the guisc Of
friendship, these savages were concoc-
ting a scheme for his destruction; and
at day-break of a morning in June
last, they proceeded 10 its execution.
Young Blackburn and his wife were
aroused from sleep by the simultane>
Gus shout Of nearly an hundred Indi-
ans, the shricks of three ferrymen, in
canvass tent adjoining, who were in
stantly cut to pieces, and battering
at the door Of the little hnt occupied
by himself and wife. The yells of the
'savages were terrific, mad with the
slaughter they had just perpetrated.
Two rifles and two holster pistols were
in the corner of the room, loaded
Young Blackburn, seizing one, few to
the door, which had been barred, and
discharged it. His wife Immediately
delivered to him the other arms, which
he as soon discharged through the
door, and she reloaded them as fast
as they could be fired. Although this
was her first effort in charging a gun,
she made no mistakes. An incessant
firing soon drove the savages from the

OFT IN THE CHILLY NIGHT.

Oft in the chilly night,
When bed clothes seem too scanty,
Fond memory brings the light
Of days when we had plenty;
Each linen sheet,
So white and neat,
The quilts that | paraded
The blankets white,
Now thin and slight,
The comforts old and faded
Thus in the chilly night,
When bed clothes seem too soanty,
Fond memory brings the light
Of days when had plenty.
When remember all
The bed clothes brought from mother.
I've seen around me fall,
And couldn't purchase others;
feel like one
That had been "donen
By wedding in hurry,
Whose youth was flown,
Whose beaux were gone,
And she was left to worry;
Thus in the chilly night,
When bed clothes seem too scanty,
Fond memory brings the light
Of days when had plenty.
