painting of the poets pen. And notwithstan.

as only equalling in sweetness ..tIIe breath of

heart Of the lover of the beautiful as he reads.
yearns most unmsiakably towards that "maideri

Fair was she to behold, that it,aider OF sewers

Black were her eyes as the berry that grows on
the thorn by the wayside,
Black, ye: how softly they cleaned beneath the
brown shade of her ,resses!
Sweet was her breath as the breath of kline that

When in the harvest heat she bore to the reap
ers at nooniide
Flagons of home-brewed ale, ah fair In sooih
The maiden.
Fairer was she. when, on Sunday morn, while

Sptnkled with holy sounds the air, as the priest
with his hissop
Sprinkles the congregation, and scatters bless
ings upon Them,
Dow The loug street she passed, with her chap

Wearing her Norman cap. and her kirlle Of blue,
and the ear rings
Brought. in the olden lime, from France and

Handed down from mother to child. through
long generations.
But a celestial brightness-a more ETHEREAL

Shone on her face, and encircled her form, when
after confession,
Homewafd serenely she walked, with Gods
benedic,ion upon her.
When she had passed. it seemed like the ceasing
Of exquisite music.''

PAr's SEcURITr.-We were highly amused at
the relation of incident which occurred at
segar store in town few days since. An Irish.
man stepped in, and called for plug of tobacco.
and requested the young man to . rimimber" it
till evening, when he wonld call in aud pay for
it. To this the young salesman demuired.
Faith thin, says Pat, cut it in two. il you r
afraid to behave me, and I'll lave one half wild
ye for security.
This seemed at first blush to strike the youth
as both fair and reasonable and he rolled il in
his mind for several moments, SO as to view it
in all its bearings. Still he had his doubts. and
failing to fully comprehend the idea of The '.son
of Erin" and not wishing to damage his EN-.
ployer. he thought he'd decline the proposition
till the boss came in. So Pat, who in the mean
time had filled his mouth with about one-eishtl,
of the plug, handed his purchase back, and left
in mock high dudgeon.

Mr. Skillman, of this paper. writing from
Yreka on the 2sth, gives the following hiest
advices in regard to the movements of the Unit

The Rogue River Indians
Maj. Fitzgerald and Capt. Smith are both ia

on the road which leads from Rogue River

able accounts Iiave been received. was ursde

mand. whiie exploring fof trail OF read from
some point on The Coast (perhaPs Port Orfurd)

When Mr.. X. fell the remaining eight men

two men with the train were killed, and about

captured by the Indians.
From the last Yreka Union have news of
startling interest in regard TO Major Haller. His

NEw wPAPkRs.-Ddring the past week we have
observed notices of the starting of some haIf-a-
dozen newspapers in various portions of the
State. There seems TO be sort of monomania
prevailing upon this subject, and the opinion
obtains generally among that class of individu-
ais named '' Legiun," who have failed in keep.
ing hotels. driving oxen. digging bitches, cut.
ting cord wood. and other occupations requiring
about the same amount Of brains to proseci,te
successfully. in entering into the newspa-
per business they have a, last ''siruck it big

which they were originally intended Well. go
ahead. gentleman, it you think there is no sucb
pcrsonage as the fool-kiIler. But if abnu, H..
first day of April next there is not weeping. and

we will be happy TO rejoice with you.

Nor So.-The State Journal names the Courier
among those mining Journals that have taken
grounds against the existing Foreign License
Law. The Journal is certainly laboring under
great mistake with regard to our position on
this question. The law now in force has our
hearty approval. 1t was passed in obedience to
the unanimous voice of the miners, and was in
tended to work gradual riddance of the Chi
nese. This was the object of the passage of the
law, and we are most happy to hear that it is
having this result.
The presence in our midst of a class of men
like the Chinese, whose persons, habits. man.
ners and customs are so repugnant TO our Peo-
ple,-who can neither be made slaves or free
men-a perfectly nondescript popula,ion-we
say the presence of such people in our midst is
a nuisance of no ordinary magnitude, and for
one we shall not take ground. for the sake of
lessenng our taxes, against law which is so
happily aba'ing the nuisance.

IMPRIsosISG STATE OFFIcERs.-Judge Shat
tuck has decided that Gov. Bigler, Comptrol-
ler Bell, and the Secretary of State, were guilty
of contempt, for disposing of the States interest
in certain real estate in San Francisco. in The
teeth of the Judgment Of the Court and its or
der ofperpetual injunction. The Court was ex-
pected TO pass Judgment Wednesday, and
consign these distinguished dignitaries TO po-
stion 'furnenst" the outside of the grating
Wouldn't that be ego" though! The Judge
contends that the State had no interest in the
lands disposed of by the Board of Commission
ers. If so then the Board could give no title to
those who purchased at the time the contempt
was alleged to have been committed, and no
sale occurred, for how could the State sell that
which was not hers. Then if no sale occurred
when was the contempt perpetratedl The
whole thing on the part of the Court looks con.
temptible.

THIEVES Asour.-We have been assured by
several gentlemen who were formerly connec-
ted with the Police Department of Sacramento,
that quite number of notorious thieves have
arrived in this place during the past two or
three weeks. Some of them have gone into the
mines, although few remain in town. They
have already given evidence of their presence
by robbing prostitute and an intoxicated man
OF about $1,000. Our citizens should therefore
be on their guard. All have firearms lying
about conveniently, and do yourselves and the
community service by shooting the first thief
that attempts 10 appropriate your property
Have no scruples about it, but shoot to kill, and
NOT merely to irighten. The county is already
too deeply in debt to be saddled with the ex.
pense Of giving these outlaws and scoundrels
trial. Therefore render the county a service
and shoot them as you would pusillanimous

INCREASE OF OUR Population On Monday
hcan, we tock ride through Middletown. Texas
Springs. Nebraska. Brggsville to Horseown.
Notwithstanding all we have heard of the rapid,
ity with which the population of that portion of
the county has been increased dnring the past
month, we must confess to considerable siirprise
at the actual evidences of the fact every where
presented. Middletown has grown in extent a:
least one-third since we last say it. and the new
buildings are really most creditable structures
The town already gives abundant evidence Of II
hourshing future. Texas Springs also has grown
rapidly. Briggsville and Horsetown have been
beautifed by number of new houses. Oar
astonshment was most excited, however, by The
numerous buildings lining the road from Middle.
town to Briggsvie AT distance about inter.
mediate between the two Places new town
has been laid out, which already contains about
dozen buildings. We believe it is proposed
to name it NewtowD. We would suggest, mas
much as there is already settlement of this
name in the county, that some other title be
selected. We observed that the ground all
around this vicinity was staked off to be work ed
SO soon as the water of the Clear Greek Ditch
reaches that point, and were informed that the
same thing has been done along the greater por-
tion of the Ditch to Midtown. This will doubt.
less hereafter be one of the most ourisliing por-
tions of the county.
