The Prospects.

The prospects for good mining season never
looked better than at the present time A light
rain is carrying off the in a very propitious
manner for the miners. Every gulch is flowing
and the large streams are swollen considerably
The mining community are taking the advan-
tase of the opportunity thus afforded them
decided change has taken place in every
branch of business, and a change in the spirit and
feeling Of citizens indicate it for the better
While the people are thus enjoying the benefit Of
good times some attention should be given the
Trinity County Canal. Now is the time for those
who would secure to themselves an interest in
this best of all works for the interest of the coun
ty. The miners who could not n short time ago
afford to take stock will soon be able to do SO,
and pay the assessments without feeling it,
There only remains about hundred shares to be
Sold which we have no doubt will he disposed of
in the course of two or three weeks If the min
ors and business men but reflect soberly in this
matter and of the incalculable benefit which it
will be to the stockholders and the town, there
will be but one conclusion with regard to its i'm
portance.
Let us again urge upon the miner and mer-
chant to go and examine the plan of organization
and the books of the Company at the store of r.
Clifford, Esq, and secure stock in it.

Chow VINO, M1sNEsorA.-Mr. HERR
man son of Major D. B. Herman, Indian
Agent at the above place, called to see us
one day last week. The Major is an In
diana acquaintance of ours and if reports
may be relied on he is the best Agent the
upper Mississippi Tribes have ever had
among them. The young man informs
us that but 4 inches of snow had fallen at
the Agency up to Monday December 2ed,
the day on which he left, and that there
were only 8 inches at St. Paul as he came
through. He makes the universal state
ment that the dryness of the atmosphere
far north renders it moro agreeable. though
colder, than the climate of Indiana.

GIVE YouR CHILD PApER.-A child
beginning to read becomes delighted with
a newspaper, because he reads the names
Of familiar things, and will make progress
accordingly. A newspaper in one year is
worth quarters schooling to child, and
every father must consider that substantial
information is connected with advance
ment. The mother Of the family. being
one Of the heads and having more i'm
mediate charge of children, should herself
be instructed. A mind is thus fortified
against the ills Of life. and is braced for
emergency. Children amused by read
ing and study are of course more consid
crate and most easily governed. How

or articles of clothing will be gratefully
received from those who can more con-
veniently contribute in that way.
We publish the above by request and
we trust that the friends of morality, or
dev and Religion, will turn out en- masse
and show their appreciation Of the Minis
try by liberal bestowal Of the necessa-
ries Of life. A little money will not come
amiss, for Preachers require cash at times

ETHEREAL beings capable Of subsisting on
compliments and expectations notwith-
standing their devotion to spiritual mat
ters, their digestive organs are quite as
good and their susceptibility to freezing
quite as great. as any of the laity. We
like Preachers well, but we don't want to
see them tinkering with Politics. They
can not command respect if they indulge
in party warfare and there seems to be an
intention manifested by the Clergy to quit
it. We are glad of it. Every body is
glad of it. g.

many of them to admit of individual de-

The California Hotel was favored with a
very pleasant company. but owing to
the lateness of the day on which it was
concluded to have a party at all, many had
made arrangements to 60 to other places
and hence the company was not SO large
as it otherwise would have been.
At Frankville there were about 100
couples; the popularity Of Lathrop, and
the feast of "bear" meat undoubtedly had
q tendency to draw crowd. It is said
that Lathrop's receipts we're not less than
$500. Times are not very hard out that
way.

were engaged in the worship Of Terpsi-
schore, but we have no account of the

Slaves in the Southern City, and it predicts that
but few years will elapse before Missouri win be-

marks that Negro labor, bond or free, cannot com.

"And tomorrow, if Kansas were swarming with
slaves, if itwere profitable for free labor to 20
there, slavery would soon be banisl,ed. Slavery
has been driven out of st Louis; it has fallen
back into the country where it can yet find means
to support itself White labor is following it rap
idly. Missouri has her half million of farmers,
each owning his quarter, half or whole section Of
land. As these men raise families around them,
and free laborers can be procured slave labor will
cease to be profitable. Kansas, filing up with men
who cultivate their own farms, and men accustom.
ed to labor either for themselves or others, must
become free State. Whenever there is white
labor to be had, there slavery must cease to be
profitable, and there slavrey must die out. The
number of slaves in Missouri ut this time, does
not, we suppose, exceed Ion, 900. For State Of
such immense territorial extent, the number il

more rapidly than her black. Her slave popula.
