Mr.. EDITOR: You are aware that the
packers and travellers from this place to
Humboldt Bay have been troubled BY In
dians ever since the discovery of gold Oh
Trinity River, and it is their wish td>lave
some disposition made of them that would
tend TO ciyilize them or prevent their lre-
! quent depredations. | do not think they
can be removed from their mountain homes
for several years in the way the agency has
commenced, rs the Indians in this locality
are all opposed to going to the reservation at
CoIusa. AS | understand, the agent pc rsua-
ded one of the most intelligent ones OF the
tribe to accompany him to the valley, some
time since, and on his return he iniorried
his tribe that he would never give his con-
sent to be removed; besides, they know that
the climate is not adapted to their constitu
tons, and that they would die off; conse-
quently, when the agent comes to see them
the most Oi tlcm Secrete themselves III INC
mountains and do not show their faces until
he is gone. Quite number of them have
been working Cor the whites for some time,
and in return receive provisions, 50 they
have neglected to lay in their usual supplies
for winter, and if they are driven back in
the mountains their depredatons will become
more frequent, and the only remedy will be
to exterminate them will suggest plan
which believe would be benihcial to the cit
izens and in which the object of the govern
ment would soon be effected, that is, procure
place that would be suitable for their resi-
dence on the Hay or South Fork OF Trinity
river, and let the agent locate himself per-
manently and instruct them il agricultural
pursuits, until they find out that there is no
deception on the part of the agent or gov
ernm,n,; by these means, and these only,
can they be pc rsuaded to reIinqush their
homes in the mountains. | believe have

A glorious sunset closed the lovely day;
And rising from her eastern height, the
moon
Beamed over heaven and earth with silver

When by her light, his gentle mother,

With age, aside the youthful wanderer
drew;
And bade him to his Heavenly Father

And keep the Saviour constantly in view;
"Do this, my SON." she said, and God will
guide you through
Turning aside his face, that would betrav
His throbbiug heart, in every rising sigh;
And brushing hastily, u tear away,
That forced passage from his mcistened

He seemed to hear his mothers words so
And rushing from their midst, he left the

Far o'er the rolling oeesn's restless wave,
He wander'd with a bold adventurous

Who sought no counsel. cared for nothing,
What their desires and selfish passion

And as their influence daily stronger

His better reason seemed TO quit her

But ere her teachings faded quite from

Where every nation mix and mate;
Who heed but little, save the golden ore,
Who care for nothing bu. their estate;
On such his scruples bore but little weight;
