PAYING INTERPRETERS.
From San Bernardino,

Or the II of October, meeting of the
Anti Mormons was held at Fort Regulator,
San Bernardino, at which preamble and
resolutions were adopted declaring the
officers of that county all Mormons, or their
firm supporters; that Mormons are the
sworn enemies OF our government; that
the county Offices and their sureties are
irresponsible men and most of them leav-
ing for Salt Lake and that the public
revenue being unsafe in their custody, they
(the Anti-Mormons) will pay no more
taxes to any person now in Office in the
county, and will assist and defend each
other against any proceedings on the part
OF those officers TO enforce payment,

IMPORTANT REVELATION. - The State
Journal, in recent article on the Mormons
and the surrounding country, says that a
recent revelation has been promulgated
that Brigham Young, the present head of
the Church, will not nor cannot die until
ne has been made by divine power the
President of the Upited- States, So firm
y are some of his followers in this belief,
that they do not hesitate to taunt the
Geptiles, by telling them that after few
more SHOWS and summers, they will have
no more flag and no more country, but
that which Joseph, the Prophet, will give
them.

amount OF revenue paid into the State
Treasury by the different counties of the
State this month"; amounts to $232,777 94.
Never has there been manifested SO much
aiacrity and promptness in the payment of
taxes IN California, as during the last few
weeks; and as consequence, the State
Treasury is in ample funds to cancel all
current Indebtedness. The attainment of
such financial basis, with its accompani-
ment of an improved and established credit
at home and abroad, is just cause for
public congratulation.

Thev Should have Ala.


War has broken out in Honey Lake Val
ley. The Indian tribes Of the ncghboshood
have combined to drive out or exterminate
all the whites who have settled there, and
hcstitiles have actually commenced The
people there naturally turn for aid and sym
pa;hy to their brethren in California, and
have sent messengers to Gov. johnson asking
for arms to defend their homes and families.
Because these people believe themselves with.
ont the bounds Of California, and have de-
determined not to pay taxes or elect officers
in connection With the citizens Of Plumas
county, some of the Sacramento papers think
it is with i'll grace they ask for assistance
from our Executive and people.
We view the matter differently, and think
the residents Of Honey Lake Valley, as
American citizens, united to us by the ties
OF friendship, blood and nationality, have a
right to demand Of us assistance and pro-.
lection. They are no doubt correct in think.
ing they are within Utah Territory, and were
iustifable in not accepting officers appointed
in Plumas county, but they are nevertheless
entitled to assistance to protect their wives
and little ones from murderous savages.
The Governor would not be authorized to
serd men at the expense Of the State, to
furnish the relief asked for; but humanity
would dictate that he should furnish arms to
men who would volunteer in behalf Of the
threatened people.
The citizens of Honey Lake ask for aid
from brethren, and it is no time to be run.

they are entitled to it. The suggestion that
the Governor ought not to furnish aid, un-
less the petitioners" for relief acknowledge
themselves citizens Of California and willing
to abide the laws Of the State, and the iuris.
dotion Of the officers of Plumas county,"
should cause the editor whc made it to blush
with shame In what estimation would the
Governor be held, if, acting upon this sugges-
ton Of the Ui,cu, be should communicate
with the beeagurei band at Honey Lake
and inform them that if they acknowledged
themselves in California, ho would extend
the protection asked, but if they refused he
could do nothing for tbem' He would re.
ceive and deserve the cxecrations of the
whole State
If this editorial suggestion, containing SO
little sagacity and philanthropy. was acted
upon by the Executive, the Pah Utes would
have ample :imo during the progress Of the

held by persons in the vicinity, who as
certained from testimony, that Green dis
appeared about month since, was OF in

far that removal Of the remains was not
attempted, but the earth was thrown upon
