Trinity Mountain Robbers Again.

1t would seem from statements made to us by
some Of our citizens recently returned from Shas-
ia, that the authorities of that County contem-
plate sending the prisoners charged with that rob
berry over here fortrial. Several weeks ago the
Under Sheriff of our County went after them for
the purpose of having them tried in this County,
but it was thought advisable al that time to try
them in Shasta County The people and the off
GERS of Shasta contended that Notwithstanding
the robbery was committed in this County. the
money was was recovered in that County, which
gave jurisdiction of the offence to Shasta Co.
The Under Sheriff under these circumstances left
the prisoners and returned, and the Grand Jury
that was in session awaiting their arrival, was dis
charged.
The witnesses are are all in that County and the
principal one Mr. Carter, is held under an indict-
ment preferred against him by Grand Jury of
that County for another and different offence
from the one charged against him by the robbery.
We would ask our neighbors what new light has
cleaned upon their minds in this matter? What
new evidence has been brought to bear upon this
subject to convince you that they should be tried
in this County. Had you suffered our Sheriff to
have brought them over at the time he was there
for that purpose, the prisoners would have been
tried ere this, and probably the punishment been
meted out to to them. This looks to us as though
you wished to tri1e with us-it is childrens play.
The Court of your County having Jurisdiction
the witnesses all there-the parties injured resi-
dents of your town-the prisoners in your Jail.
and your former refusal to let us have them when
demanded and now talk of sending them to this
County for trial is such duplcity that we must
doubt the report until the truth of It's forced up
on us.

Court of Sessions.

The Court Of Sessions will meet on Monday
A Grand Jury has been ordered, and the drawing
takes place to-day. They will be cmpannellcd the
first Of the week. We have five prisoners now in
jall-two convicted of murder at the present term
Of the District Court, and two held to answer at
the Court Of Sessions, for the unlawful use of
deadly weapons, and one that is held by the force
of the walls of the Jail, for robbing miners cabins
in general. In consequence of the popularity of
this house of safe keeping, of late, the Sheriff has
had an additional cell built which is decided
improvement to it. If the information we have
received in relation to the Trinity Mountain rob
bers being brought from Shasta to this place for
trial, should prove incorrect as we hope it may.
the Grand Jury will have short session at this
term of Court.

Indian Troubles i'm Oregon.

We learn from Mr.. A. Solomon, Of this place,
who has just returned from jacksonville. O. t., |
that the Indians have been driven from the Mead
ows, Qllinois Nalley) and are now dispersed over
the country from the Coast to the Rouge River
Valley. About eight days since, as Mr.. Solomon,
in company with two other men, were crossing the
Siskiyou mountains. between jacksonville and
Yreka, they We're overtaken by party of six or
eight men who had started to cross the mountains
by a new road that had been recently built, when
they were attacked by party of Indians and
obliged to turn back, and take the old trail. For
tunatcly none of the men were killed or wounded
by the savages.
The farmers in the Rouge River Valley were
enjoying high hopes Of bountiul harvest this
season, but the recent change in the manmvcrng
of the Indians has blasted all their bright pros
poets, and nothing but confusion and consterna-
ton pervades their minds. All that is thought Of
is, how shall they escape the ayenging hand Of
the savage foe. The Volunteer forces have been
disbanded and the regular Army in service are
inadequate to the subduing Of the enemy, and
protecting the inhabitants. Governments as well
as lhulVIuualS may DC guIty OF negligence III tHe
performance Of a duty until it will rpen into
crime. A force, adequate both in numbers and
ability, should be sent Immediately to the scene
of action, that would efectually relieve and rid
that portion Of our country from this barbarous
foe, and still the cries and shreks of the defence
less women and children from the land
The General Government has the means and
the power to do it, and why not employ them ef
fectually.

The Humboldt Trail.

We are pleased to see by the last Humboldt
Times, that the citizens of Union have adopted
what we were long ago satisfied was the only true
course to be pursued with any degree of probable
success, namely they have themselves underta-
ken to make trail from this place to the Bay
Now, gentlemen of Union, we are with you, and
if after you find it practicable to make this trail,
you will come to Weaver, we doubt not you will
obtain assistance. The Times says:
The Committee, selected at the adjourned meet
ing on Monday evening to raise funds and con-
tract with parties to survey and locate the pro-
posed trail to Weaverville have entered into q
contract with Messrs. Barlow and Love to do the
same, for the sum Of four hundred and fifty dol
lars, and have also raised the necessary funds.
The parties are required to survey and locate
a route for good practicable trail from this town
to the settlements on Hay Fork, and ntersect the
trail leading from there to Weavervlle The trail
is to be in direct course as near as possible de-
Waiting from such course to secure better ground
or an easier grade only. They propose to follow
up the ridge-at the west end of which this town
is located-in Il south-easterly direction, through
the Red Woods to Long Prairie y thence east
erly to Mad river, at point where there is
prairie on this side crossing said river. and con-
tinuing in an eastery Notwithstanding little
South-heading Redwood and Willow creeks, and
striking the South Fork as nearly opposite the
mouth of Hay Fork as possible, for the purpose
of following up Hay Fork to the settlements, if
that can be done. The party will start out in a
bout week. If this route should be found to be
the proper one for a trail it is expected that
branch will lead off from the same, in the neigh
borhood Of the crossing of the South Fork so as
to accommodate the lower Trinity. The parties
employed are old citizens here and are quite well
acquainted with the country over which the trail
is proposed TO be located and they are very san
guine they can secure good route.

[From the Humboldt Times of May III

To WHOM DOES IT BELONG 2-Some weeks since
we clipped, from the leader column of the Trim
ity Journal, very sensible article uuder the head
ing Of Going Home" and designated it as such,
at the time, in some PREDATORY remarks accompa-
nying its publication in our columns.
We find the article, as it appeared in our col
umns, introduction and ALL in the Petaluma Jour-
nal Of May 3D., as though it had been copied by
that tpaper directly from the Trinity JourndI This
is, perhaps all right, for we have no doubt our
language suited the purpose according to the no.
ton of the Petaluma JoiyRqL Since publishing
the main article in our columns, however we
have noticed another going the rounds, under the
head of =" Home Again." which, with the eXcep-
ton of containing three lines more at the begin
ming, and the same number at the close comedies
with the article we copied. almost to a word.-
This last, is credited to the jackson Sentinel. We
have not seen a copy of that paper containing
said article, and do not know which is the Oldest
and therefore are at loss to know whether
it originated with the Sentinel or JoauRal-for it
may be considered one and the same. If one of
the papers referred to- furnishes editorials for the
other, we have no particular objection to raise
but inasmuch as we have copied the article in
question, we would like to know to whom it be-
longs.
The article alluded to by the Times first appear
ed in our editorial columns. We afterwards no.
ticed it copied by the Golden Era from the Anna
dor Sentinel, with very few alterations to make
ii suit the locality. We took occasion in our next
issue thereafter, to inform the Sentinel man that
if he desired it, we would furnish him editorial
matter, without putting him to the necessity of
from our columns We have not yet
however, heard from him. We do most certainly /
claim the article as our own.--EDs. JOURNAL

The News by the Golden Age.

This steamer brought but little news of a
general interest, except the signing Of the
Peace articles by the five negotiating Pow
ers Of Europe at Paris; and the Panama
Railroad accident. The latter will be found
in detail in another column, and of the for
mer no particulars were known when the
steamer left that connected with the Golden
Age. The action of the Democratic and
Republican conventions to assemble at Gin
cinnati next month being in future, Of course
was subject Of wild speculation among the
politicians of the day. Mr.. Fillmore had
not accepted the nomination of President
at the hands Of the American party at our
latest advces, and it was thought by many
of his opponents that he would not; but
this is speculation, and nothing definite will
be known until it appears over his own sig
nature. A. j. Donelson is out in a we'll
written and statesman-like paper accepting
the nomination for the Vice Presidency of
that party, with reasons assigned, &C.

The WEArHER-The weather has been
most extraordinary for the last five or six
days-cold, cloudy, rain, and mixture Of
sunshine. On last Thursday night the fork
ed lightning seemed to rend the Heavens
and the rain fell in torrents for short time.
Morning came with all the pleasantncss of q
summers day but soon the gathering clouds
began to lower over our heads with slight
sprinkling of rain In one short week we
have experienced every variety of climate
that heretofore has taken nearly whole
year to accomplish We have no COM
plants to offer, for whilst it has made is uns
pleasant for us, the miner has been benefit
ted and we hope to reap q portion of the
benefit in the end Let it rain and bluster
so long as the producing classes are bene-
fitted by it, and the printer is sure Of an
honest livelihood.
The growing crops appear much revived
since the change in the weather, and if we
are not mistaken, the diScouragement felt
by some of our farmers on account of the
drought will be removed soon and an abun-
dant harvest will yet be gathered.
