HUMBOLDT TiMBER.--We met q man q
few days ago who visited Humboldt during
the Gold Bluff excitement, who was desert
bing the size of the trees in that REGION
They are. he says, mostly redwood and
spruce. To give an idea of the size of the
trees, he said a friend of his who lives on
the Humboldt, cut down a redwood tree
from which he built house twenty four by
thirty feet on the ground and two stories
high. The frame, siding, floors, doors, win
dows and roof were made of lumber split
from the tree; also, lumber to build a garden
fence and the necessary out houses; sold lam
Der enough to brother-in-law to build him
a one story house; had between five and six
cords of bolts left, and then used only sixty
feet of the body of the redwood. From this
description our readers can cypher out the
size of this prolific tree.-Sac Union.
The stump Of the tree spoken Of stands
within two hundred yards of our office-the
house is the one now occupied by Mr.. Stokes.
The tree, however, is small compared with
others adjacent to it, Mr.. Alex. Underwood,

w K " K RViL LIE:
What Shall Be Done With the
Indiansl

As we announced in our paper Of last
week and the week before, the Indians on
the South Fork Of Trinity River have recent.
ly become very troublesome to the settlers ia
that section Of the county. We understand
that the depredations which have been com
mitted were The acts Of Indians who have
recently returned from the reservation at Co
usa. The friendly Indians say that they
were driven away from the reservation by the
agent at that place. 1t is more probable, in
our opinion, that they left Of their own &C
cord.
Three months ago, when the Sub Indian
Agent was endeavorng TO induce the In
dians Of this county TO 20 to the Reserva-
ton, we expressed the opinion, that the at
tempt 10 remove them from their native hills
would be useless. We said, that even il they
were to go to the Reservation, they would
not remain there any length Of time, but
would soon be back again. more ready than
before for murder, theft, and petty depr eda-
tions-and the sequel has proved the cor
rectness of our remarks.
The question now is, what shall be done
with theml Can anything be done TO pro-
tect the settlers from their depredationsi--
Can anything be done towards the cviliza-
ton Of the Indiansl The only way, in our
opinion, both to protect our citizens aud at
the same time promote the civilization Of the
Indians, is to establish n reservation some
where in this county. There is large
scope Of country in tho neighborhood Of the
South Fork Of Trinity well adapted for this
purpose, and the Indians can easily be per-
suaded to locate there. Once settled there
with suitable person in charge Of the res
ervation they would soon become sufficiently
skilled in agriculture TO raise everything nee
efsary for their maintenance; and, instead
of our continually hearing Of instances Of am
noying depredations on the part Of the In
dians, and cruel retaliation on the part of the
whites we would receive the agreeable intel
ligence Of our citizens pursuing their avoca-
tions in undisiurbed security, and Of the wild
ravnqes becoming sensible Of the advantages
of civilization and satisfied with their new
mode Of life.

RIDGEvILLE.-This is the name of new
mining town, situated about sixteen miles
north east Of this place, near Stewards Fork
Of the Trinity River. 1t is situated in the
heart OF one of the richest and most extern
sive mining sections of this county; and, al
though it s but a few weeks since the town
was laid out, it contains already, as we un
derstand, some five or six hundred inhabl-
tants. From all we can learn in regard to
the place, we are inclined to the opinion that
it is destined to be n point Of considerable
importance, as the diggings in the neighbor
hood are represented TO be Of sufficient ex-
ent and richness TO afford remunerative EN-
poyment to thousands. The facilities for
tprocuring water are said to be unsurpassed
by any mining locality, as there is scarcely
point within range of several miles that
cannot be easily and abundantly supplied
from the different tributaries Of Trinity Riv'
er. The gold found here is of coarse char
acter-many pieces having been taken out
weighing from four to six ounces.
We understand that Messrs. Wheeler *
Co and Messrs. Tolley & Co. have com
pleted their races, which bring the water
from the East Fork Of the North Fork oi
Trinity river on to these diggings. The races
are six mile, in length, and will furnish about
three hundred sluce heads Of water. They
were both finished in five weeks from the
commencement of the work. The water
was introduced into them on Thursday, the
5th inst.

The Supervisor Bill.

Our readers will find the "Act TO create a
Board Of Supervisors in the counties Of this
State and TO define their duties and powers"
on the first page of our paper this week.
The Shasta Courier, in speaking Of the bill,
calls attention to the conflicting character Of
Sections l6 and "a, and says.
No one will fail to observe the chaste and
Addison. like style in which Sec. 9th is com
posed The Legislator from whose pen EN-
enated this brilliant piece Of composition
doubtless was impeled thereto by patriotic
desire to prevent the possibility Of any Board
running its county in debt. No doubt he is
now resting under the pleasant deluson that
he has successfully "made the rifle" Some
willy lawyer, however, who introduced the
"a section, is now doubtless laying back in
his chair, laughing IN his sleeve at the unso-
phiticatedness Of Legislator No. |. No. l.,
in section i6, says that in certain event the
Board shall make no allowance Of any ac-
count. To get around this, No. 2, in sec
ton "a, says that in the event the Board fails
or refuses TO allow such claim or demand, al
ter being presented, the claimant feeling ag-
pfieVed may sue lhe county lIere theh VIC
have sections Is and "a at loggerheads.-
This naturally starts again the question that
has long occupied the mind of the philoso-
pher, viz: "when doctors disagree, who shall
decide1n And what a magnificent field for
litigation does not this conflict Of sections
present.
What, with the claimants on one hand law
ing with the county, and the Supervisors on
the other refusing to allow just claims, sim
ply because the revenue Of the county for the
current expenses is not sufficient to cover
them, we expect the poor county treasures
will be horribly depleted.
The bill appears to have been framed with
but little care. and there are numerous OBJ
iectionable features in it. But, we suppose
it will be of no avail to object TO it now
Ii has become a law, and will probably re-
main so for the ensuing year. We trust,
however, that the next Legislature will be
able to give us bill which will be better
adapted to the wants Of the community.

REDUCTION OF FARE TO AND FROM THE

REDUCTION OF FARE TO AND FROM THE
ATLANTIC STATEs-Mr. Garrison, agent of
the Nicaragua line of Steamers, has an
nounced in card issued by him tn the pub
lie, that on and after the 9th inst. the fare by
the Nicaragua line of steamers will be redu-
ced. 1t is to be presumed that the Mail line
will also reduce their rates. 1t is said that
the Nicaragua Company were the parties
that receded from the recent arrangements
existing between them and the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company, and that the latter COM
pany claim forfeit of 100000. If there is a
feud between the two companies California
will reap rich benefit from the quarrel in
the increased immigration to our shores.

SUPERVISOR DIsTRIcTs.-The gentlemen
constituting the special board for districtlng
the county for the election of Supervisors,
,binL that we were unnecessarily harsh in the
expression of our opinion of tho manner in
which they performed their duty. We do
not wish to question the motives of the gen
tlemen, or impute to them an iatsntion to in
fiict wrong on the people Of the Second
District but we do think they have shown
themselves to be unacquainted with the coun-
" and its population. The election returns
Of last September would, ifthey had consulted
them, made manifest the injustice they were
doing TO this District. 1t is true that Dis
trict No. I includes the new dggings in the
neighborhood of Ridgeville-an we suppose
that the board has listened to the representa-
tons Of some sanguine property holder in
that region, and given eredence to a story
hat represents the population as being OF the
number wished for, rather than the number
actually resident there. The vote will show
tha, we are correct, and that District No.
is not entitled to the prominence given to II
by tho Board.

Later from China,

The arrival Of the bark Eirira Harbeck,
Capt. Marshall, in seventy-four days from
Hong Kong, brings news to the llth Jan.
The Chinese pirates have continued their
enterprises with increased rapacity. Tbev
had captured a bark and two iorchas sailing
under British colors, whose crews, it is be-
lleved, were indiscriminately murdered The
British war steamer Rather had been dis
patched in search of the outlaws. Fourteen
pirates had been captured by the steamer
Ganges between Shanghae and Hong Kong,
and handed over to the authorities of the lat 3.
ter place.
The British Consul at Canton, in view of
the critical condition of affairs at that port,
has notified his counirymen, resident there,
who desire or expect protection, to register
their names at the Consulate. The Ameri-
cans in Canton have held an Indignation
Meeting to denounce the unconcern of their
Naval Commander.
The rebel forces are still making headway,
Assisted by number Of Americans and
English, they were successful in capturing a
number of chop boats at Whampoa, TAX ing
l35 prisoners, whom they put to slaughter on
the succeeding day. The chop boats were
re-captured by the U. s. frigate Macedonia,
together with three Of the Americans and
three Of the Englishmen who participated in
/ the attack.
A severe naval engagement resulted in the
discontinue of the Rebels by the Imperial
lists. Forty junks and large number of
prisoners were taken. Over two hundred
and fifty boats were engaged in the battle.
and some 20 900 men.

A PLEASANT INCIDENTAL letter writer
from New York relates the following.
About fifteen years ago merchant of this
city was in England. One morning as he
was preparing to return home, he had by his
side on his table ten or fifteen bank notes, Of
one thousand pounds each; as he opened the
window for some purpose, a pufss e wind blew
the notes from the table, and or was blown
into the fire and consumed. The merchant
made known his loss to the bank--a note was
made of the transaction, but he was told that
no relief could be afforded him by the bank.
He bore his loss as well as he could. The
affair passed from his mind A few weeks
ago, this gentleman, now in business in this
city, received thousand pounds from the
bank whose note was burnt. lie was inform
ed that the bank had waited the allotted
time, fifteen years, to see if the note would
come back to the bank-no presentation had
been made, and the bank had now legal proof
that the note was destroyed as the merchant
had stated, and that he was entitled to the
money. In these tight times such lift
was quite timely.

PAsE, BAcoS & Co.--According to pre-
vious announcement, this house resumed
business in San Francisco and Sacramento
on Thursday, the 2eth ult A large amount
OF business was done by them on that day in

Of ninety thousand dollars; and in Saeramen-

by respectable persons in San Francisco.
He says that if one half of the charges stated
in the papers, have really been made against
him, there are some in San Francisco not as
honest ss he thought them to be, and that he
would return and abide the chances, only
that his family are ignorant of anything
wrong being charged against him. lie pro-
