True Nobility "A Momentous Decision

-" All work, even cotton-spnnng is noble
Work is " alone noble" BE that here said and
asserted once more" )" so Carlyle says. But we
must remember that there are degrees in nobility.
The highest nobility is the nobility of benehcence.
An honest man, says the poet is the noblest work
of God. We have no hesitation in extending the
apothegm. The nOblest work of God is the man
who is not only honest but who does the greatest
good. The greatest of all temporal blessings is
Health. And, as the mental condition is con-
trolled by the physical, the effects of Health can
hardly be regarded as terminating with mere
temporal benefit.
Then who is the greatest of all human benefac-
tors? He obviously who enables us to restore
health that has been detoriated and to preserve
Health has been the great aim of the modern phi
lanthropist as it was the philosophers stone of
the ancient achemist.
The secret has been discovered, its discoveror
proving himself thereby not only the greatest
philosopher but the greatest philanthropist the
world ever saw. The question, "Who is he ?"
has been asked by millions and answered to them;
and they have rejoiced. PROFESSOR HALLOwAY
has conferred more blessings on humanity than
have all the " sOi-dstant" social reformers and
pseudo-ph -philanthrOpists the world ever saw. The
fame of his Pills and Ointment has penetrated to
the remOtest confines of the earth, and their use
has diiused health and all the happiness that fol-
lows countless thousands From the ice bound

Mountains to the eastern shores of the Atlantic.

Tanning the Sernenf

Cox, long and favorably known in Weaverville,
is now travelling with his snake-tamer, Wirzen,
a native of Sweden, and giving exhibitions to
large and Mortified audiences. Wirzen has some
fifteen large sized rattlesnakes, and several 9TH
er equally poisonous reptiles, which he exhibits,
and which he has completely subdued by his very
singular and magical powers. He takes the most
fierce and vicious rattle-snake, and without des-
troying its fangs, or crippling it in any manner,
tames it in five minutes into perfect docility.
The snakes have been tanned into such gentle
ness, and become SO docile, that they will crawl
cheeks and sleep like good pets in his bo-
som. An exhibition was given at Shasta few
nights since.

TEMPERANCE LEcTURE-Dr. Hume, from
Humboldt Bay, delivered lecture on Tenn
perance on Thursday evening, to large ad-
dience at the Weavervile Theater. The DR..
is strikingly the sni generis, as well as 0micus
humani generis and fully sustains the excel
lent opinion given of him by the journals of
our State, both as an eloquent lecturer, and
sincere philanthrOpist.
Dr. Hume commenced q Course of Lee
lures on Cosmogenia in the Theater, last eve
ming, and according to his handbilS, he COM
mences with the origin of Matter, and pro-
ceeds with the Creation of the Heavens and
the Earth, through the Mineral, Vegetable
and Animal kingdoms, ultimating in man.
The Theory that he presents in his own
mastery style of delivery, differs from every
other that we have seen, heard or read
To use his own language, his system is
equally antagonistic to infdelity and
churchanity," and ripping up all other sys-
TENS of philosophy on Creation, presents
the subject according to the immutable and
eternal laws of Order. We hope these lee
lures will be patronized well by the citizens
of Weaverville.

SUMMARY WAY TO DISPOSE OF RoGUEs.-
The Sierra Citizen wants something done
with the villains who infest the mountains,
and on Saturday, the 9th inst, makes the
following suggestions
The Sierra Democrat suggests some active
measures to clear out the robbers that infest
every by-path. There seems to be no other
remedy than to raise a company of Rangers,
and shoot and hang the scoundrels wherever
they can be found, and clean out, raze to the
ground every headquarters where they are
known to harbor. A similar state of affairs
once existed in Illinois, and continued until
the people rose and executed dreadful ven
gence ; so it will be after while. All the
vagabondizing loafers and vagrants from
below have fed to the mountain, and here
they will remain until lead and hemp dis
lodge them. Before the Legislature meets
they will be frozen out of their lairs if a
goodly number of law-and-order men are
elected to that body, there will be nothing
done except the official reading of the riot
act, and next summer they will be worse
than ever. Had not the miners better take
the matter in hand, all over the country,
seize upon every suspicious vagabond, and
make him give an account of himself? AS
soon as you begin this, the scoundrels will
dry out.

Letter from Scott River.

FRENCH BAR, Sept. 5, 1856.
Messrs. Curtis g. Gordon Since my last letter
to the JOURNAL there has been quite number of
fortunate " strikes" made on the river.
Several companies have taken out as much as
almost every one on the river who is prac tcaly
engaged in mining, are making money.
The claims here are, as general thing hard to
open, and require the outlay of considerable cap
ital to open them. Miners who have surplus cap
ital can make a profitable business by investing a
reasonable amount of money to prospect mining
claims in this County as we'll as in Trinity Coun-
ty. Claims on the river sell for from one to four
thousand dollars, and hill claims are valued at a
much higher price, from the fact that the river
claims cannot be worked but few months in the
year. 1t takes from three to eighteen months to
open them. After the dry season sets in and the
ume is erected, the claims in the bed of the riv-
er can be worked but the claims on what is called
the " benches" require much longer time. There
are rich claims found, and some being worked at
an elevation of six hundred feet above the bed of
the river
Good drifters command high wages, and the fa-
ciities for living cheap and comfortable affords
man of good habits an opportunity of doing
well. Beef sells at from Is to 20 cts. per pound ,
flour cts. potatoes, cts, and all vegetables
equally low. The growth of the place may be in
ferred from the fact that there are four towns on
Scott river, within two miles of the junction of
the Klamath first, ScOtts Bar, which is the old
est. is two miles from the junction with the Klam-
ath river. Then comes French Bar, one-half mile
below Scott's Bar, and which place occupies the
most prominent position for business and trading.
ROckhouse Bar is situated about half way between
the Junction and Scott's Bar, and next comes
Johnstons Bar, one-half mile from the Junctiov.
Two miles below this on the Klamath, is situated
This last named place is bound to become point
of some Importance yet, as there is large and
rich mining country surrounding it, that has
scarcely been prOspected. should judge there
was population on this river of two thousand
people, mostly working men. The population is
of good character, generally speaking
There is Temperance Society, Temple of Hon.
or, and a Masonic Lodge established here. The
miners have Literary Association organized, in
which men are to be found of some literary rank

Trinity Ditch.

The survey for this ditch is progressing
finely. Mr.. Wheeler called at our office on
Thursday last, and informed us that there
arc but or miles yet to survey, which
will complete the survey for the whole ditch
to the point from which the water is to be
taken. A note from Mr. n Garland, who
is assisting Mr.. Wheeler in the survey,
states that the character of the country
could not be better for good and perma-
nent ditch Mr. Garland, enjoys the repu-
tation of being one of the best practical
water-ditch men in this State. lie also
states it as his opinion that the Trinty-Ditch,
will command richer scope of mines, than
any ditch in California and that the esti-
mate and cost will be much lower than he
anticipated. We think, the completion Of
this ditch must be the most profitable invest
ment in the State.
