the several parties to the Paris Peace Conference,

general confidence in the establishment of peace.

The Weather.

The weather has been quite ehsngeable during
tbe past week. 1t commenced raining on Tues
Gay morning about daylight, and continued to
rain steadily during the day and night and at in
ter walls on Wednesday. As the heavens wept, it
brought joy to the men of earth, and many
bright and hopeful eye glanced from the chink Of
the miners cabin with wishful gaze for its con-
tinuance, while there were others who supposed
themselves eating for the last time this season. the
dish Of pork and beans in idleness. But the clouds
have again dispersed, and we are once more bask
ing in the hot. dry sunshine, with nothing to re
mind us of the past change but the high noun
tains around us it'll their white and pure robe
of winter.
We learn that Trinity River raised about II in
'ches, but ii is believed not enough to cause tn,
Isniners TO suspend operations.

Letter from Hay Fork.
GooD's RANCH, HAY Fork OF TRINITY

GoOD's RANCH, Hay FORK OF TRINITY, !
Oct 9Th, 1856.
MEssRs EDIToRs :--Believing that line or two
from this portion of the County would be acccp-
table to you, have ventured to forward this note
by gentleman just on his way to Weaverville.
This is the most pleasant spot during the sum-
mcr season that have been able to discover in
the State. Situated at q great elevation amongst
mountains covered with snow, the air is at all
times pure and invigorating; while the water in
the stream which flows by the house is very little
below freezing temperature. Frost has been
visible at an early hour in the morning during ev-
cry month of the season. An excellent range for
stock may be found in this neighborhood, in the
summer season. The grass is still growing in ma
ny places along the stream, and in open plats of
ground through the timber.
But little mining has been done as yet in this
section of the County, for the reason that it has
not been prospectcd There is good reason to be-
lieve that good diggings will be discovered at an
early day on the South Fork of Trinity Imlne-
diatcly on the other side of the Trinity mountain
from this place there are some rich mining local
tiles but the difficulty heretofore experienced in
obtaining water, has prevented extensive mining
operations. 1t is said that the diggings at Naub
Gulch made larger returns to the miners there
last winter, than any other spot in Northern Cal
iiornia A ditch seven miles in length was com
pleted last June near the head waters of the Cot
tonwood, which is expected to open up new min
ing locality of great richness as soon as sufficient
rain falls to supply it. Many years will probably
elapsc before the resources of this portion of the
State are fully developed. There are large de-
posites of gold in these mountains, which will re-
quire however appropriations or outlay of capi-
tai and labor to bring them to light
Yours, respectfully, CoRYDoN.

Trinity County Canal.

The first act for the cOnsummation ofths grand
work is at last put upon the system and basis
which will inevitably secure its completion. The
meeting Of the property holders and miners at
Clifford Hall, on Monday night, was one of the
most spirited and respectable gatherings we have
ever seen assembled on such an occasion After
years Of delay, after seasons of doubtful hesita-
tion, this glorious work is now being commenced
in reality. The plan of organization is plain,
simple, and effectual. The rg ght sort of men have
at last taken hold with the determination to fin
sh it. Its benefits must be felt throughout the
whole community. The completion of this Canal
will give employment to hundreds, who have
heretofore been compelled to seek other diggings
in the dry season.-the only time the miner could
work with comfort and convenience. 1t will
bring prosperous trade to Weaver-and it will
do more-it will open a WIDE and prosperous field
for the industrious operative in the mines; and
recolleet, it is field which will be open and
profitable for years to come.
We like the plan proposed to conduct this i'm
pOrtant business upon, because it puts it into the
hands Of the right class of citizens, who can have
no other object than the public and private good
of the community in finishing the work. There
are but few men in the county who cannot pay
the 40 per cent. on the proposed share of $780,
This company of stockholders will stand exactly
in the light of mutual copartnership-the very
system upon which hundreds of miners are at
present working the various mining claims
throughout the county. BY this system, difficult
ty is avoided, law is avoided every species of iti-
CATION is avoided, and cOnseq uently success made
certain. When the stock is all disposed of to good
and responsible men, the stockholders elect a
Trustworthy Board Of Directors, whose business
it will be to manage and conduct the affairs of the
company with prudence, judgment and economy,
and report at every step and progress the state
and situation Of matters.
We do not apprchend opposition to this enter
prise from any quarter except from that source
which looks to the fsh-hook speculation of the
hour, and from those who never contributed to
any public and beneficial project The men who
produces least for the benefit of mankind, are al
ways those who grOwl most. We say in all hon
esty and confidence, let the glorious work 90

Rowe Co.'s Express having been disposed of
to F. W. Blake, ESD Agent of Wells, Fargo &
Co., this gentleman is now bringing the business
of the Office to close in order to take his depart
ure for home.
Mr.. Henderson came to Trinity Co. in the win
ter of 81, and is therefore one eff the carly pio-
neers of Northern California. He followed min
ing until the 81 ring of '52 at which time he en-
gagged in the Express business, where he has re-
mained up to the present time. In his public and
private character, and in every walk Of life which
has marked his course in Trinity Co., he has won
friends and distinguished himself as trustwor-
thy gentleman and useful citizen. He leaves be-
hind him wide circle of friends who will feel
reluctant to part with him. We are glad to learn
that his friends intend giving him token of their
high esteem previous to his departure We shall
miss your weekly favors, Jimmy, but ion those
who have known you long and well in wishing
you a share Of tavors from the friends of your

WTHDRAwN.-Mr. Tom Cox, who was
nominated as one of the Republican candi
dates for Congress, has withdrawn, and the
Republican State Committee have substi.
tuted the name of j. n Turner, of Nevada
Their ticket now stands for Congress, Ira p
Rankin and j. n. Turner
In his card of withdrawal, Mr.. Cox, in
referring to the charges published against
him, says
| pronounce these charges false in the
main, which shall take occasion to prove ;
but not being able to get the testimony from
Tennessee in time to put myself in true
light before the people of this State previous
to the election, l have determined that no
personal considerations shall cause me to be-
come stumbling block to the advancement
of our cherished principles. Our State is
cursed with venal press, which, with n
"vicious desire for assault on private char
acter, make it their unceasing occupation
to famliarize the public ear with the harsh
dissonance of base slander and disgusting
detraction,"

Robbery.

The Store of Mr. James Drake, at Tay ylOr's Flat,
war broken into on the morning of the 2nd inst
by party Of Cinnamon. They entered the store
by removing two boards from the side of the house
near the ground. The articles stolen were one
gold watch one silver watch, two gold rings six
ty-ive dollars in coin and dust, and about one
hundred dollars worth Of clothing and boots
One of the Cinnamon was arrested and some of
the articles being found in his possession, he con
fessed himself guilty one of the ringleaders in
the theft. His head was shaved it is said, as pun
shment, and sentenced to leave the neghbor-
hood, never to return, under a severe penalty.
