Interesting Correspondence from Yrekn.
Our fellow citizens of Siskiyou, are most GER
tainly laboring under very great hardship, rela-
tive to the subject matter of the ensuing cores
pondence. We trust. however, that the present
Legislature, ere it adjoarns, will by special act
attach that County to the 9th Judicial District,
and thus remove all doubts in the mind of Judge
Smith as to the propriety Of his holding regular
terms of his court therein.
However. even though the Legislature does
not see fit to take action on this matter think
Judge Smith should hold his Court in that Coun-
ty. Sustained by the opinion of the Attorney
General, he would be perfectly justifiable in SO
doing while at the same time he would be favor
ing the citizens of Siskiyon-hs constituents
in matter of very great importance to them.
YREKA CRY, April 25. 1853.
Editors Shasta Courier You will confer a
special favor upon the people of this county. by
publishing the enclosed copy of the opinion Of
the Attorney General of this State. in regard to
whether this county is within the Ninth Judicial
District. Also a copy OF a letter addressed to
Judge Smith, by our fellow citizen E. Steele,
Esq.
This written opinion of the Attorney General
was shown to Judge Sherwood last summer, and
he consented to hold a4erm of the court here
and actually forwarded an order to the Clerk of
county, appointing particular time at which
he would attend and hold his court. But he did
not come.
The letter of Esq. Steele is in answer to one
which he received from Judge Smith, in which
His Honor declares it to be his opinion. that this
county is not within the Ninth Judicial District.
Now this comes with an i'll grace from Judge
Smith, as it can be proven by some of the most
worthy of our fellow citizens that Judge Smith,
when he was here last fall, soliciting votes for
the position he now occupies, said he considered
this county within the Ninth Judicial District,
and if elected, he should have no hesitation in
holding courts IN Siskiyou, in other counties
of the District.
We are very DESTROYS that the fncts set forth
in the opinion of the attorney General and Esq.
Steeles letter should 60 before the people. There
is very great necessity that there shonld be a
District Court held in this county, but God only
knows when we will be thus favored.
Respectfully Yours,
II. q. FERRIS.

The moon in boosy gances blinked,
The fierce Cayote howied:
But unappalled by sight sound
They armed them for the fight,

The boys themselves were tight.
They fought all night, at break of day
The Rangers thirsty grew,
And thought thei, bloody hands they'd stay
And take some mouutaiu dew
John dropped his cheese knife on the plain,
Sam wiped his bloody axe,
And on the CORY heaps of slain
The rangers turned their backs.
How many In Gins fell that night,
Has never yet been told,

Were laid all stiff and cold.
Beneath each head we placed chunk,
And laid 'em out to dry,
They ware not dead but only drunk,
So loaters don't Won cry.

MARRIED AND GIVEN IN MARRIAGE
An Australian correspondent of the Alta Califor
ma gives quite an interesting account of the Brit
ish convict system in Van Dieman's Land. and
thus describes the marrying mania which exists
among the convicts who are out Of service, and
the reasons thereof. He writes:
"But the only case of the Government seems
to be TO get these people of their hands as fast as
possible, and another method has now been hit
upon in finding ready market for thousands of
