Red Bluff vs.. Humboldt Bay.

Each of the above named places claims to afford
superior advantages to the merchants of our town
for shipping their supplies. We are friendly 10
both, and are willing to aid to the utmost in the
advancement of the interests of those who really
desire the prosperity Of our place but our mer-
chants will seek that route for transportation
which affords the greatest facility and the least
cost
The last issue of the Red Bluffs Beacon says
shipping by the way OF Humboldt Bay, and have
learned their folly, while the last issue of the
Humboldt Times rejoices in the prospect OF our
soon completing the road to the Valley, and ex-
presses hope that, after the completion of this
work, we will aid them in similar connection
with that point
These articles we believe breathe the spirit
which actuates the two places. We have long
labored 10 encourage our neighbors of Red
Bluffs to lend us more material aid in the con-
structon of wagon road to the Valley than
mere expressions Of sympathy. The only evil
dence of our success in this undertaking so far,
is that the citizens of Red Bluffs have subscribed
fuo share, and one half to the stock of the Wagon
Road Co.
On the other hand our friends at Humboldt
Bay have not only expressed willingness, but
we believe are ready to do one-half the work, and
render all other assistance in their power towards
connecting their town with ours
That the merchants Of Weaver. who have re-
ceived so little encouragement from the people
of Red Bluffs, should have tried Humboldt Bay, is
certainly not very strange, at least not so aston
ishing as the Beacon has attempted to make it,
When We consider that all the promises of aid
made by the " California Steam Navigation Co.. .
the " California Stage Co" and the citizens OF
Red Bluffs, thus far have ended in smoke, we
should not be surprised in the least if our mer-
chants were to adopt the route vie Humbolt Bay
entirely, and profit by it,
The mart of Weaver is becoming quite an OBJ
ject, and in self-defense it becomes us to avail
ourselves of its growing importance to command
that assistance which our entreates have hereto
fore failed to elicit. We are informed that
Humboldt Bay than to Red Bluffs. and equal
safe. while there is not a corresponding difference
in favor of the latter place made by packers.
The only reason we apprehend for goods re
naming at Humboldt Bay any great length o
time, is the scarcity of trains on this road. Let
Humboldt route and tho attention of sufficient
number of packers will be diverted to this trade
to afford transportation for our whole supplies.

Union Dramatic Company.

This Company, under the management of Har-
ry Brown and L. d. Campbell. are giving series
of very creditable entertainments at the Weaver
Vile Theatre.
All the members of the Company except Mr..
Brown and Miss Nelly Fowler, are old favorites
Of the Theater-going community here, and the
hearty welcome which greeted them upon their
re-appearance, certainly satisfied them tha, they
were not forgotten.
On last Saturday and Sunday evenings, altho
laboring under disadvantages, they played to full
houses better than are usually obtained in small
mountain towns. On Thursday night was pre-
sented the Drama of All that Glitters is not
Gold" with an excellent cast of characters All
having acted their parts creditably, and with an
evident desire to please, it would be invidious to
partcularze yet we will not refrain from ex
pressing our delight at the manner in which Mr.
Thoman, who is ever mrth- provoking, played
" Toby Twinkle" which although not a leading
character, is still one of the striking features oi
this Drama. AS " Stephen Plum" Harry Brown
made admirers, and did himself credit. displaying
thorough knowledge Of the simplicity Of the
character. As Martha Gibbs" we do not rec
olect to have seen Mrs. THoMAN appear to great
er advantage, or act better. She played the char
acter with the feeling necessary to render it ap-
preciable Messrs. Campbell and Mortimer, as
well as Miss ANNE SMITH and MISS NELLY Fow-
LER are all favoritcs-are well received, and rem
der their parts admirably. After song by MISS
ANNIE and dance by MISS NELLY, the perform
ance closed with " Mr.. and Mrs Peter White"
The care taken in getting up their plays, as well
as the taste displayed in the selections promises
good season, not only for the members of the
troupe, but also for our citizens. They are wor-
thy of patronage.
Tonight Saturday. will be presented the fa-
vorite Comedy of Sailors Ashore" and the
amusing Farce of the Ghost" In times past
Thoman, as " Dickory," has afforded us many a
hearty laugh, and we hope his lame arm will ra-
ther aid than retard his % weakening"
We trust this Company will abstain from the low
vulgarity and obscenity too often witnessed on
the stage, by actors who have no regard for them
selves or their audiences Thus far the Company
deserve credit, and we hope that no member of it
will be guilty OF any indscretIon which will have
a tendency to keep from the Theater those who
would otherwise attend.

Thanksgiving.

Next Thursday is appointed as day OF Thanks
giving, Fasting and Prayer. by proclamation of
She Governor. This time we hope that general
satisfaction in the selection of the day, will be
manifested by its strict observance. This annu-
al manifestation of our dependence upon an ALL
wise Providence for the many blessings we. as
citizens of the State, enjoy, is evidence Of that
gratitude which should ever be exhibited.
The Proclamation has been made public a sdf-
6cient length of time to be known to all even
our neighbors of Humboldt may not be excused
this year if they do not in a proper manner OBJ
serve the day. We hope the good people of Trim
ity will accord TO the day that respect which, in
their Atlantic homes, they would cheerfully have
given.

The BIormons Again.

Since our article of last week upon the subject
of Latter Day Saints. the news from Utah Terri
tory confirms MS in our views and opinions there
in expressed, that these outrages demanded the
determination of the perpetrators. Already has
a sufficient quantity Of innocent blood been split
through their Vaccinations to justify the hanging
of all those who rejoice in the appcllaton OF pro-
phets or teachers, in their despcable mockery of
religious sentiment.
We have in measure been dependent upon the
stock driven across the plains for our supplies of
meats, and onr citizens have suffered immense
losses in this character of property from these
depredations, and our national treasury win be
made to bleed for it. We must await with pain
ul anxiety for the result Of the expedition against
Salt Lake, sent out from the east, nor is it at all
probable that we shall derive any authentic in
formation from any other source than the mail
steamers Communication by land. from recent
accounts, has already become precarous, and will
soon be entirely cut of.
1t is impossible to predict the consequences
which shall follow the prospective rupture be-
tween the Mormons and the General Government.
We know that the former have already enlisted
numerous tribes of Indians in their behalf, and
how far this warlike spirit may extend itself TO
the various tribes intervening between the Pacific
and the Missouri river, can only conjecture.
If the troops sent out from the Missouri river
should be unsuccessful. we shall certainly have a
reqaisition upon California for two or three reg
iments in fact it may become absolutely nccessa
ry that troops should be raised here for our own
defence No one knows the conneXion that may
exist between the Utah, Carson Valley, Honey
Lake Valley and California Indians. and with q
few determined, desperate fanatics 10 lead them
these various hordes Of Indians would afford us
no little trouble. AS the originators of these diff
fculties, no punishment is too severe for the
leaders OF this fanatical people Fresh as most of
them are from the British Isles, they have lily
pro6ted by the advantages our free institutions
have guaranteed to them, and though the policy
of our Government toward them may appear 10
somewhat novel, hoping as they do to revel in
every excess under the speciOus preteXt of reli-
gious worship and the broad guarantee Of rel-
gious tolerance, when they shall be cut short in
their mad career. yet the action Of those in au-
thority should be decisive and effective, and
stand as a warning TO all who in future shall dare
to attempt similar outrages.
