There had been a great battle before Sabas-
topol, in which sixty thousand Russians and
fifty thousand Anglo French were engaged. 1t
occurred on the 5th of November, and lasted
nearly the whole day. Eight thousand Russians
and FIVE thousand of the Allied troops We're
placed Aors de combat The allies claim the vic
tory
With every wish to do justice to the admra-
BILE bravery of the allies, and with no desire to
blacken news already too disastrous, it is impos-
sibe to escape the conviction that the army be-
fore Sebastopol is in position OF great peril.
The best that can be said for the news on the
part of the allies is that it is of chequered de-
scripiipn A succession of hard fights has been
fought and victories gained. each victory cost
ing as much as defeat. At the same time,
closely have these affairs been drawn, that the
Russians equally with the allies, claim the adj
vantage. Ii is now admitted that the deiences
of Sebastopol were underrated, the bravery OF
the enemy underrated, and the force of Men
schikoff in the field altogether unexpected
The intelligence of this battle, although con-
sidered great triumph TO the allies, caused
very depressed feeling i'll France and England.

Resoiced, That the Grand Jury recommend to
the Sheriff that he appoint Deputy to attend
especially to the collection of Foreign Miners
License and that would recommend to him
II. Boyer proper person, his giving
proper security and duly qualifying.
We would also state, that we think foreigners
whoare not Cinnamon have not paid the amount
of license due from them, and we recommend
more attention to them.
1t was also Resoircd, That the amount paid
into the Treasury from the proceeds OF the Poll
Tax, being $6lS "A, is about quarter of the
whole amount that ought to be received into the
County Treasury yearly from that source. and
they would rec, mmend TO the Assessor that he
attend closely to this portion of his duty.
1t was further ResoiUed, That from the evil
dence brought be sore The Grand Jury, they are
OF opinion that if the PAll Tax and Foreign Mi
ner's License were promptly collected, this
county uouid be free from debt within SIX

The GRAND JURY's REPoRT-The report OF
the Grand Jury ON the financial condition Of the
County, will be found in another column Ii
represents the finances of the county to be in
very healtbtu condition-more so than the facts
will warrant The statement that the county
debt, on the lst of January. 1854, was sl6,OO9,-
4s, that the present debt is but $9,549 76, aud
that therefore reduction of So 459 70 had been
effected, is not strictly correct. The county
debt on the 1st of Jan, 1854. was subject to
credit of abont $4,000, which was at that time
in the hands of the Treasurer, leaving balance
of about Sl2 900 of liabilities against the county
unprovided for, as the committee appointed to
investigate the matter at the time reported
The present debt. including 5000 interest on
outstanding scrip, is over $4,000. Besides no
bills against the county with the exception of
been allowed for four or five months past The
liabilities accumulated against the county DUR
ing this period, we are informed, will amount to
upwards Of $4,000. So that really the county
indebtedness, so far from having been reduced
more than $4,000 during the past year. has not
been reduced at all. II is proper to state, how
ever, that during this period a comfortable and
substantial courthouse and Jail have been erect
ed, at an expense of $4,000. We make this cor
reclon for the reason that it is always better for
the tax payers to know, as near as may be, the
precise debt of the county

From Yreka.

Cram, Rogers & Co. were the first on hand
with the Mountain Herald Of the 23rd.
Brown, charged with the murder of Mexi-
can had been convicted in the District court
A number of the citizens of Yreka had pre-
sented Capt W. Terry with gold watch and
chain, valued at $3.50, for his services during the
lire on the night of Nov. 9TH.
The editor of the Herald, in chronicling a
marriage, makes the following quotation: :,
Though fuols spurn Hyman's gentle powers,
We. who improve his golden hours,
BY sweet experience know
That marriage, rightly understood
Gives TO the tender and the good
Paradise below"
We admire the editors philosophy. Having
got hinlselfnto snap, he is determined to max e
the most of it, and tries to persuade folks that he
is enjoying little paradise below" Our Ju-
nior occasionally talks the same kind of stuff
But we always recollect that misery loves COM
pany," and hence give to their remarks the pro-
per allowance.
