POPULAR PRoPHEcIEs.-We are persuaded
that, what more than anything else, accounts
for the dislike of the people to enter the mi
litia is, the now generally received belief in
an old prophecy attributed to st. Columbkille.
1t predicts that the present war is to end in
an invasion of England by AN uncrowned
monarch of France, that the militia raised is
to be called on to go over to assist in the de-
fence of England and that refusing the whole
force is to be brought to the Curragh of Kill
dare, and there finally refusing, are to be mas
sacred in cold blood. This general belief
may appear strange, yet it is generally re-
ceived by the peasantry, and now by many
others. We have heard more than one Cath
Ole clergyman insist upon motives of credi-
bility which indeed cannot be easily over
turned Various scraps Of it are told by per-
sons in different parts Of this county, which,
though for the most part handed down by
tradition, agree pretty we'll on the whole
These results are now almost universally ex-
pected by the peasantry of exford:-That
at the end of this war, England is to be in
vaded by Napoleon; that the Irish militia re-
fusing to go to defend England, is to be sh OF
down. That the most calling impressment
will be resorted to. That England is to be
subdued and revolutonized by France. That
Ireland, after much bloodshed is to be united
and be relieved by Spanish army under
Spanish Prince and General O'Donnell, and
by Sandman army under prince of Sar-
dinia.- Werford People.

FREsHET IN TRINITY RyER.-The rains of
the past week have swollen all the streams in
this neighborhood to an almost unprecedent-
ed extent. We understand that the freshet in
Trinity river exceeds every previous one
since the settlement of this section of the
State On Wednesday night, the river rose
four feet higher than it was ever known to
be before. The bridge known as Lewis's
bridge was swept away on that night, carry
ing with it the fume of Messsrs Feehly &
Co., which had just been completed at an
expense of three thousand five hundred dol
lars. We also understand that one of the
piers of Lowden & Co.'S bridge at Grass
Valley, settled nearly two feet: no fears how
ever, are entertained in regard to the safety
of the structure. The boat at Moneys
Ferry broke adrift on the same night, and
was carried down the stream several miles,
finally lodging a short distance above Lewis
crossing. Several mules and horses were al
so swept away by the freshet The water
invaded numerous miners cabins which lined
the banks of the river and many wheels,
suice boxes, toms and rockers, were carried
off to parts unknown.
The river fell three feet on Thursday, but
is still exceedingly high.
Since writing the above, we learn, that the
bridge across Trinity river at Sturdevants
ranch. near the mouth Of Canon creek,
was swept away by the freshet on Wednes-
dav night. This was new bridge, recently
completed at considerable expense, and con-
idered to be very substantial structure.

lief Of many, that they will be able to liqu-

may be the case, is most earnestly to be de-
sired. The people Of California have so long

Deputy sheriff Of Trinity County"

wr,vFRvlLLE, Feb 23, 1855.
Editor Tmay Times:
SR;-G notice in the S. +. Chronicle of
the 9Th Of this month, an article headed
"Alleged Robbery by the Deputy Sheriff of
Trinity County" The article purports to
be an extract from letter written at Wea-
vervile, and copied from the Me~oeer
The article needs some material eorree-
tons, and if you will publish this you will
but do justice to all parties.
The writer says, "there are three French
mining companies on Cox's Bar, Trinity
River two of them had a canal, valued at
$1,000" The truth is this there were five
Frenchmen mining on said bar-three in one
claim, and two in another; they owned five

sold to them for $3.50. "On the 2nd inst" I"
saws the article, about 3, r. NJ, the Deputy
sheriff came and demanded Of our compatriots
the foreign miners tax for fourteen months
past, amounting to $3.50. Unfortunately
none of the French could speak English
The truth Of this portion Of the statement is
the Deputy Sheriff, in his tour of collection
down the river, having been informed that a
number of Frenehmen were engaged in
mining on Cox's Bar, who had not paid a
foreign miners license in some time, and
that if he did not proceed to collect the same,
he should be prosecuted for neglect Of his

Owing to the suspension Of Adams & Co.
run was made upon the house of Cram,

in the depositors drawing out some s33, 900.
The claims that remain outstanding against
them, only amount to about $1,000, which
they have ample means to meet, and their is
no doubt of their pc riect solvency.
Mr.. Henderson the gentemanly agent OF
Messrs. Cram, Rogers q Co., deserves much
credit for the promptness with which he met
all demands that were presented to him.
In Yreka, run was made on Cram,
