ARREsrEDThe prOprietOrs Of the Norning
CdH, for libel on several Of the officers 0t the
Mint. Ifit is libel fcarlesslv tO expose wrong
and corruption, although H be in high places,
the mission Of fearless conductor 0f the press,
is at end. FIrenIGM'S Journal (& ~
1t is net "a libel fearleSSIy to expose
wrong and corruption" no one could
contend for anything so glaringly absurd.
The press in California have enjoyed the
''largcSt liberty" and the press of San
Francisco have more frequently defended
"wrong and corruption than Exposed"
it Major Snyder is an old, upright citi-
zcn-has always been regarded as gen.
tlemen Of irreproachable character, Of
.Stainless reputation. The Morning Call
made some serious charges against him.
The citizens of San Francisco believe
these charges to be false and malicious
that they were started by interested par
ties for sinister purposes. The Grand
Jury took the matter in hand. and have
indicted the publishers of the Morning
Gil for libel. This is not an attempt to
"rcstrain the liberty Of the press" but an
"attcinpt" to protect the reputation Of the
good citizen from the assaults Of ealumny.
1t is not the Emission Of fearless con-
ductor of the press" to attack private
character, to accuse faithful and honest
officer Of "wrong and corruption" When
an editor does SO, he abuses the privilege
Of his position and should be heldfespon-
siblc for it. No man in San Francisco, in
California, has more cnviable character
for honesty and integrity than Maj. Sny-
der, and no one, we are confident, ismorc
justly entitled to it. That he is obnox-
ious to certain parties, who want his place
and have tried every means to remove
him, VIC happen to know and that they
are prosecuting him we believe. The
Call and the Journal, probably unwit-
tingly, are playing into the hands of his
unscrupulous enemies.

PLACERVILLE.
SATURDAY. SEPT. 96. 1857.

The inhabitants of Honey Lake Valley, as
we'll 40 hundreds Of the immigrants, declare
that the whole efforts Of Mr.. Kirk are directed
towards influencing the immigrants crossing
the Plains, to take the Carson Valley route, and
thence ga his possessions, and discouraging
them fFom going upon the Honey Lake road.
.Sh0stG Courier.
Ifthc "inhAbitants Of Honey Lake Val
lev, az well as hundreds Of the immi-
grants" declare anything Of tho kind,
which is questionable, they declare what
is untrut. We have cOnvcrscd with a
number Of immigrants, somO Of whom
have crossed the Plains several times, and
not one Of them was influenced by Mr..
Kirk to take the Carson Valley routO."-
He strictly attends to his duty, and rarely
mCddles with immigrants.
Men who are familiar with both routes,
who have travelled over both, who have
NO possessions" on either, certainly i'm
partial judges, give the preference to the
Carson Valley route. They say, and their
assertions are entitled to q little more
weight than the prejudiccd and interested
statements Of the "inhabitants Of Honey
Lake Valley" that the "CarsOn Valley
route" Is the shortest, easiest, safest and
the best for grass and water. Immigrants
who have passed over both routes surely
would not be sofnSanc as to prefer the
longest and roughOSt to tho shortest and
easiest route.
1t is the height Of folly to give publici-
ty to such prepOsterOus statements as we
have quoted above, and the editors Of the
Courier and tho Republican have either
been imposed upon, or they allow their
prejudiccs to warp their judgment. We
have not deemed it necessary. to reply to
the many groundlCss and absurd charges
brought against Mr. Kirk by interested
parties. They arc known to be untrue
and grAtuitous, il not malicious, and can.
not, therefore, injurc him.
The Carson Valley route requires nc
putting to induce travel over it. The
great bulk Of tho immigration, since the
discovery Of gold in California, have pass.
cd over it, and it will continue to be I'll.
road for all time to come.
