The Yreka Union says that new and impor-
an road, from Yreka to Red Blnifs, has be en-
laid ont by way OF Pitt River A correspondent
writing from Red Bluffs to that paper, descan,s
upon it in a glowing manner. We are inclined to
suspect. however, that he is troubled with ght
hallucinaiion in regard to the feasibility of Il
u1xgon road upon the route proposed As to the
shlae of The Pitt River valley for agricultural
pNrposes, we believe that he is IN the main cor
rect. He says:
5ot,bt not that in one years time, wagon
road will be Travelled from here to Yreka, which
will compare favorably with any in the state;
shonld judge it not over one hundred and forty
miles i'll length. The advantages of this road
can scarcely be calculated. IL will throw open

The main fork of Pitt river bursts out at the

character of placid stream of chrystal, and
runs in this way through the best portion of the
valley to the canon, where it rushes fall
of twenty five feet, when it assumes the charac-
ter of the widest mountain stream. Thus is af-
forded the future settler one of the best natural
highways for floating timber and lumber of all
kinds, from mills at the head, where the supply
is inexhaustble, being most important consid-
Grafton to the settlers in the middle lie of the valley,
which like others, is sparsely wooded. / pre-
sume that in two years from this time this valley
will furnish houses for five hundred families. 1t
will furnish every citizen of Siskiyou with his
groceries and necessary importatons at from
two to six cents less per pound than formerly,
and save much labor and expense of opening
packages of merchandise which now has to be
done to make suitable packs for mules. 1t will
enable people to provide themselves with many
articles, both light and heavy, which they could
not before, from the great expense of taking in
pieces and putting together again.
This facility for the conveying of heavy arti
ces will be the means of opening up 10 our
county source of wealth which has long lain
dormant, but known to be certain by many :
some of whom have lost hundreds, and many
their all, in purchasing their knowledge. al

be excuse for not working them. Time has

The CASE or CoRA.-The editor of the Vide
IVea recommends rather a summary way of dis
posing of Cora, should he succeed in getting
clear by law. Hear him:
The people of this city had right to expect
that whe the new indictment was framed, it
and the accompanying proceedings would be
free from those technical errors which alone
the defence appear TO rely for clearing the pris-
uner. But already ten grounds have been as
signed as reasons for motion to set aside the
indictment. and demurrer presented based on
two informalities in the document And yet the
trial has not commenced! SO that may ex.
pect that with objections 10 the impanneling and
accepting OF jurors. objections to the ruling of
the judge. &c.. the case, even 1t the jury should
be compelled TO find verdict Of guilty, will go
10 The Supreme Court. this trial will be set aside,
the assinine plea that cannot be put in
peril OF his life twice for the crime, will
again be urged. and Cora will be free.
These proceedings will all take time, and
by the period when the events we have lore
slladowed occur, the murder of Gen. Richardson
may be so far cast in the shade by other matters.
that it will require an effort of memory the
part of many TO recall it. Be this it may, we
hope there is sense of Justice in this commuil-
ity which will not allow the murderer escape.
even though the law may declare hum free. II
he is prored gully the trial of the murder
with which he is charged. Cora should die. We
are no friend 10 Lynch Law, except as dernier
resort. But when guilt is unquestonabe, and
the law fails to punish after ample opportunity
has beeu given. the People who have sufficient
ly manifested their respect for The law by await
ing lis action, have the right TO make up for its
shortcomings. And in the event of Coras be-
ing proved guilty and fset free, such action be-
comes their duty.

MIMIC OPERArioNs.-During the last two
weeks, the cold weather and snow together,
have prevented the miners from operating to
any considerable extent in their Claims The
consequence is, tina, money still llcontinues scarce,
times are hard, and the assistance of the law is
frequently brought into requisition in cfleciing
the usual annual settlements. Now that the
weather has moderated. however, we have rea-
son to believe that different state of affairs will
soon be apparent. In fact, the renewed activity
observable in our mining population, already
bctokens better times.
