have q constantly increasing subscription list
ard our I'd dlcrt.sing columns well filed with ad
vcrtiscments, which are rcmunerat.ve to us. we
feel assured that our papor has met the approval
of our many friends in Trinity We are, how
ever conscious of our inability. to do full justice
TO our editorial columns. Having left our cas-
trn hone at an carly age and since served in al
most every capacity from ships boy through
sll the titiSstudcs Of = sailors life. aud then
seven years residence in the mines of California.
our opportunities for acquiring information have
been somewhat contracted and retarded We
have however, endeayored to make our paper
devoted to the interests of the county, and inter
soting 20 our patrons; and to them for their cor
dial support we tender our sincere thanks and
promise improvement in the future.
We have determined to reduce the price Of our

The Vigilance Committee.

Hopkins, it is said, has been pronounced
out Of danger by his physician, thus placing
Judge Terry's case in a position to be acted
upon by the Committee. 1t is believed all
their prisoners save two have been sent out
of the country, no arrests are being made.
and it is presumed they arc making final ar
rangements for a dissolution-a consumma-
ton deToutly to be wished for. They have
already done enough in their Vigilance ca
pacty to convince all who are opposed to
them that they have the power; let them
dissolve now, but in their individual capaci-
ties retain that power by guarding the bal
lo:-boX from corruption, placing those only
in power in whose fidelity they can reroSe,
and by cheeriulIy and willingly performing
the duties required of them by law in serving
upon juries, and assisting in promoting a Just
and honest administration of the law.
If they again allow their city government
to relapse into the old course they so bitter
ly complained of, they viii not deserve the
sympathics of the people throughout the
State, which during their recent troubles
has been so universally accorded them.
/ We earnestly hope we shall soon learn
that a satisfactory arrangement (f neces-
Sary,) has been entered into between the
Executive and the Committee.

Doings on the Fourth.

/ 0O1hE1o OAA tAN - NoA va
The manner of spending the Fourth Of
July throughout our county appears TO have
given general satisfaction in each locality
where PREPARATIONS were made for ceebra-
ting it.
In Weavervile, we had a variety Of
amusements. In the morning Our citizens,
headed by the Brass Band discoursing mar.
tial music, formed in procession and marched
to the Weayerville Theater, where the
Declaration of Independence was read by
the Hon. Il. T. Miller, and w S. Smart,
Esq, delivered very eloquent and talented
oration. Most Of those assembled then re-
paired to tho District school-house, where
ample preparations had been made for the
Sunday School children to celebrate the day
Addresses were made by the Rev. Mr. Shell
don of Shasta, and the Rev Mr. Anthony,
after Which tic guests and children partook
Of a bounteously spread table of refresh
ments. In the evening Il grand Ball came
off at DR.. Chauncey's new house at Chaun-
ccyyillc. Everybody had anticipated that
this would be a pleasant assemblage, but
We were all most agrceably surprised as it
far surpassed our most sanguine expecta-
tons. In no Old established settlement
could ar affair Of the KIND have been gotten
up and passed off more delightfully."-. All
enjoyed themselves. Our young bachelor
friends were particularly well pleased, from
the fact that large number of the ladies
present were without that death to all hope
rciiX, Mrs, TO their names All the
ladies, 10th married and single, cxerted
themselves to make il pleasant, and they did
most certainly succeed. A dinner, i'll per
feet keeping with the style of the Ball, was
partakcn Of At an carly hour in the morn
ing the company returned to their homes
well pleased with their entertainment. On
the cyening of the fifth. by invitation Of Dir
Ceaunccy, another dance was given at his
house, which also passed off pleasantly.
At Canon City the day was celebrated in
a patriotic manner as the letter Of our. cor
respondent fully sets forth. The address OF
w. j. Organ, Esq, is spoken ofin the high
est terms by those who heard it delivered -
We have read manuscript copy, and find
it well written, and we doubt not it was
well delivered. Had we room in our col
umns we would publish it,

been unable TO gather full particulars.
In Weaycryillc, notwithstanding oul
streets were crowded with people, not &;
single fight that we are aware Of occurred
during the day, and bu; few comparatively
speaking were under the influence of intoxi
eating liquors. Take it all in all, the day
was well and pleasantly spent
