''THEY ARE NOT DEAD THAT pIE.u

THEY ARE NOT DEAD THAT DE-"
DIED-In Camptonville on Sunday morn
ing, Feb. 5th., after a long and painful i'll
ness, Mrs. NANCY A., wife of G. p. SAuN-
DERs, aged 80 years.
The deceased was a daughter of Hon.
Henry Dodge of Wisconsin, and in her
death our society has lost one of its bright
est ornaments. Intelligent and atfable. she
delighted in contributing to the happiness
of all with whom she associated, while her
deep sympathy was always extended to-
wards the unfortunate. And while we SYM
pathise with the family and frinds in their
sad bereavement, we also hope for her that
happy spiritual existence that never ceases
1T must be so: and we should never steep
Our souls in grief and sympathy for those
Upon whose face our weaker visions close.
Nor deem them lost to beings that o'ersweep
Our life unseen, with sympathies more deep.
More pure and holy for each tear that flows.
These ills of life are not the cold and stern
We oft times deem them when our ewes are
tears

Walkers Address to the Army.

SOLDIERS OF SoNoRA:-You are about
to undertake a most glorious enterprise
You are TO cross the Colorado in order to
defend a hopless people from the attacks Of
the merciless savages. For years the pop
ulation of Sonora has been the prey of the
Apache Indians. Their property has been
taken from thcm-their wives and children
have been massacred or consigned to cap
tivity worse than death by the torturing
fire of a ruthless foe. The men of Sonora
have been forced to see their wives and
daughters ravished and murdered before
the eyes of captive parents. All these out
RACES, at which the whole continent bushes.
to have been permitted by the Government
which pretends to control the pepole of So
nora. Mexico has stood by and her si-
lence and inactivity have so encouraged the
Apache that he now threatens to ride
into Guaymas, and render the whole country
from the mountains to the sea subject to his
savage will and tributary to his beastly
desires.
You, soldiers, are now called upon to
wrest the country from the rule of the
Apache and make it the abode of civiliza-
ton. 1t is possible in your chivalrous eff
forts you may be opposed by the Mexican
government. III you are, Wnen you meet
the enemy, let the holiness of your cause
more your arms strengthen your souls.
When you strike at Mexican foe, remem-
Der that you strike at an auxiliary of the
Apache-at an accessory to the murder of
innocent children, and the rape of helpless
women. Fill your minds with these ideas,
and victory will follow in the plains of So
nora. In such cause, failure is impossible
and victory certain. The God of battle is
with you, and you will be strong and pre-
vail against a host of enemies.
(Signed) WILLIAM WALKER.

tinued with but little intermission until the
night OF the 9th. The next two days were
of unsurpassable beauty, the sky clear and
the temperature delightful. The 9th was
cloudy and damp, presenting every indica-
ton of rain. Towards night it commenced
raining hard, which continued through the
night. The snow has all melted in the val

0. v. J.-In another column will be
found a letter from the Editor of the Oak
Valley Journal. This semi-occasional pa
per has recently been hauled up for repairs,
having collapsed fue. The editor SYM
pathises with us in our misfortune in hav-
ing incurred the censure of one of our CO.
temporaries by an impious allusion to the
use of spirits. This however is the mis-
fortune of being an editor. The O. V. j..
has often observed that on the arrival of
strange dog in town convention of the
canine residents is INN ediately called and
some warlike cur deputed to wait on the
new conner, requesting him "to define his
position" at the same time prescribing the
exact number Of kiny.ese. he worn in his
tail. Thus it is with oipeds. When a
boy, we once visited a neighboring village
and were met by a ragged urchin, the
young Astyanax of some belligerent race,
who politely enquired whether we would
fight? Hence we expect the same in ma
turer life.

ACCIDENT.-Patrick Carlin was killed
yesterday in Secret Canon, by the falling
of tree. A coroner's inquest was called
by Judge Pettybone. Verdict-death by
accident.
Mr.. Carlin was a native of Ireland, but
for some years a resident of Racine county,
Wisconsin. He came across the plains in
1852, and has been resident of Sierra
county since september of that year. He
was universally respected as one of our
best citizens. His brother, James Carlin,
was present at the-time of the accident.

that their sapient deliberations be pre-

go by in abstruse cases of steamboat explo-
sions. The parties have attained notoriety,
if not fame, though a fine opportunity for
the display of pathetic and indignant elo-
auence has been lost

prints, we intend to make the Citizen a
readable and reliable sheet; to make it a
correct vehicle of information on general
topics; to make it, in short, paper that
will be sought after by the miner when
smoking his pipe in camp, and by the
trader in leisure moments at his desk.
The course we intend to pursue, was
rather fully set forth in our Propectus,
and we refer our readers to that now. In
all matters of public interest we shall
take that position which to us shall seem
best calculated to promote the greatest
good Of the greatest number" and never
permit ourselves to be ruled by any clique
in social, county, or political questions
Nor can we be expected to herald the ap-
pearance upon the stage of every political
adventurer whom fermentation may throw
to the surface, for in this fast country
.'All would be great, zen from the cradle fit
To rule in politics as well as wit.
The grave, the gay, the fopling and the
Ounce,
Start up God bless usD statesmen all at
once.'
For this reason we could not array our
selves under any party banner. 1t would
be easy for US to fight under the flag of the
dominant party, and carry On sort q
guerrilla warfare round the border, at the
same time keeping at safe distance; and
by uniform system of toadyism, might
perhaps come in for share of the loaves
and fishes. But though we confess to a
weakness, in the shape of desire to ac-
cumulate wealth, still we cannot purchase
preferment at the expense of our indie
pendence.
One thing we desire to have expressly
understood-that is, we seriously deprecate
the system of abusing cotemporary papers;
we desire to live in peace and harmony
with all the world and wish to be on good
terms with our brother editors throughout
the State. We shall therefore never pro-
woke an attack, but should one be forced
upon us we are 'aboa"
In the mean time we hope our friends
will keep US advised Of occurrences in diff
ferent localities, while the Citizen trudges
quietly on "in the even tenor of his wav."

General Samuel Houston did US the honor the
other day TO send US word by couple oil our cit
izens who met the hero in Texas, that If he had
his way about it, he would hang up the editors oil

less the old traitor would like to hang all the ed
tors in the country ''lke dogs" except the beauty
of the New York Tribune, and other abolition ed
itors. W no bespater the old coward with the most
fuisome praise since he turned his back on the
South. The fact is, old Sam has been acting like
a'sfree nigger'' ever since his master, Gen. Jack
son, died. AS long as Old Hickory had his eye
over him, the sol disant hero OF San Jacinto was
kept straight; as straight n vicious man can be
kept by virtuous one. Since the melancholy

taxation,

On Wednesday last it came 10 the cars Of q
number Of our citizens That man by the name Of
HALE, from the wooden nutmeg State, had been
expressing himself in regard to our peculiar in.
siluions rather after the fashion of Seward. He
was politely waited upon and requested to leave
in an hour or take the pcnaty-whch was simply
a new dress made of old materals-one ingre-
dent of which enters largely into the list Of ex.
ports Of the State. The creature did not seem to
be nctuated by malice, a coat of tar and lea:h.
ers would have been administered without any
ceremony.
We cannot be too watchful of those inerans
who infest country under the pretence OF SELL
ing their articles Of merchandise when frequently
they abolition emissaries. We are opposed
10 their coming into the State any way, that we
cannot prevent, but We can keep close look out
and if We detect any misconduct treat them
they deserve, that is, TO coat Of tar and feath
ers and ride on rail, that's all.

Merchants Mill.

By reference to advertising columns, it will
be seen that the large Merchants Mill in process
Of construction by our enterprisIng and public.
spirited capitalist, LEROY SPRINGS, Esq. will be
completed by The LIST Of September, and ready to
commence operation.
This enterprise we hope and believe will prove
profitable investment to Its liberal proprietor and
while it greatly increases the growth and business
Of our town, will be of incalcuable benefit 10 the
agricultural community.
The main building is 100 feet long by SO wide,
stories high, with story addition the length
Of the factory by 25 feet wde-the machinery
will be put up in the lst story, the stones run in
the I'd, the -four be stored in The 3rd, and the
wheat in the 4,h. In the addition, on engine will!
be placed OF 60 horse power, which is Of suffi.
Gent capacity to Propel sets Of wheat stones,
2 corn sones saw mill a seti of stones to grind
corn ami cobs for the use OF stock, and a barrel
machine 10 manufacture all that will be used in
packing the flour. The mill will grind and pack
800 barrels OF -four IN "a hours, thus affording
market for five hundred thousand bushels OF heat
each year. The whole arrangements are com.
peie and systematic aad reflect credit upon all
parties engaged in the ccnsrucli"n.
This is a magnificent undertaking. one that the
farming interests OF this rich and valuable wheat
growing section have long needed To stimulate the
production Of this staple. The farmer now will
| no, have TO carry his wheat 20 mill and make @
return trip for the -four. lie has nothing to dc
now but TO sell his crop in bulk, deliver accord
ing to contract, receive the cash, and thus do il

whether this enterprise shall be encouraged. The

sion in regard 10 the position occupied by Capt
John Walker on the subject OF the Wilmington,
Charlotte & Jcnesboro' Rail Road, we are author
lied 10 state, that he views This project as being
as thoroughly North Caronan as any OF the
Roads already built or contemplated and that
he will not only exert himself TO secure the char
ter, but will urge the subscription on the part of
the Strte Of two-thirds of the capital stock As
that policy has already been pursued, and this
section taxed to make improvements in other por-
tons, it is nothing but right and just that there
should be reciprocity in this matter.
Upon the general subject OF Internal Improve.
ment, Captain Walker agrees exactly with Mr..
Bragg. They think it il safe to invest the funds
of the Sate where individuals are willing to risk
their own-that the expenditure of the people 5
money should be guided by prudence, economy,
and q due regard to the benefits likely to result
in improving The financial condition of The State
they opposed 10 the distribution OF the pro.
ceeds Of the public lands, and look to our own
means TO pay the debt incurred. Being States
Rights men, they believe the members Of the Lee
gisature should be responsible TO their constitu-
encI',s for The appropriations Of the public money,
and not 10 the Federal Government. This is the
only way 10 put check upon embarking in wild
and visionary schemes, recklessly squandering the
peoples money and involving the State, which
will result either in reputation burdensome

Charlotte Rail Road,

We hear good deal OF complaint in regard 10
the time The Charlotte trains arrive at and leave
Columbia. We think II would be 10 the interest
Of the Company SO to regulate i, as 10 prevent the
necessity of remaining there SO long. The train
now reaches Columbia at O'Clock where passen-
gers going North have TO remain until II o'clock
next day-the train then leaves there in The morn
ing at 7, and at II The Manchester come IN.
when passengers bound in this direction are de-
tanned 90 hours. Now, if the Charlotte train
could wait until after the arrival OF the Northe IN
cars, it would then have sufficient time 10 reach
this town 10y day light, and great public conve.
nience would be effected. This we understand is
the feeling all along the line, and we appIehend If
some snch arrangement is not made. as soon as
the Central Road is completed to Raleigh, travel
lers from this side Of Columbia will 60 that way.
Columbia is one of the most beautiful towns IN
the country-the H"teIs comfortable, and the
landlords obgng We do act so much object to
the tax that is levied on our pockets by the delay
as TO the loss Of time and hndrance.
This is matter well worthy OF the attention Of
those who have the control, and he SOONER The
alterations are made the better it will be for the
Company.
