has commenced running as a regular Packet to

The Sioux City, as her name implies, was
built expressly for n Sioux City Packet, under
the especial supervision Of Captain Baker, who,
in her construction, has spared neither trouble
nor expense to make her an A, No. l Missouri
River Steamer, and one in all respects most ad-
mirably adapted to the wants Of the River. She
will be found, as regards capacity for business,
as well as the superiority Of her passenger ac-
commodations, inferior to No boat in the trade;
and as such, Capt. Baker takes much pleasure
in presenting her to the favorable consideration
Of his old friends and acguaintances, and the
public generally, hoping to receive at their
hands continuance of that generous patronage
for which he is indebted during series of years,
while in command of different boats in the river.
Shippers may rely upon having their freight
handled with the greatest care and dispatch;
and passengers are assured, in travelling upon
the Sioux City, Of being made to feel always
quite at home. NAV 6, So.

What tho Miners DO.

EDIroR TRINITY JOURNAL The miners below
Taylor's Flat and in that vicinity, are looking
forward with bright hopes of realizing large
amounts Of gold from their claims the ceming
summer; and while there is room for hundreds
more, still many prefer hanging and loating
around towns, rum holes and gambling hells, u
curse to themselves and community, to taking Il
pick and shovel TO strike one lick towards gain
ing an honest and honorable livelihood. Their
say is-'we can't make anything Why can't they
make anything2 Echo answers for them IL by
chance you go to work one or two days and earn
three or four dollars, at night you will seat your
selves Mt the table and gamble it Off There is
large number who believe the world owes them
living at all events, So 1t does when it gets the
convict's chains on them it then owes them
living, the bitter fruits Of which they will then
reap, a more honorable one, perhaps, than the
honest, hard working miner can make.
BY the toiling miner our merchants and insti'
tutions are supported throw out the miners la
Dor and where will California find herselfY Yet
the day has now come when the majority think
il a disgrace to dig if they can possibly get ont
of it. Many say the mines are giving out,--so
are the heavens. | am sorry to see some people
foolish as to suppose such q thing; but to those
who think so let me sny, that not only our chill
drcn, but our chdrcn's children will dig the
shining ore from the grounds of California aud be
amply paid for their labors
We are fast becoming farming people There
are several farms a short distance below us,--T

Indian springs.--Shat " Carrie" Saw!

Ed Trinity JOURNAL People imagine that
this Quiet little place has nothing of beautiful
scenery to interest the Imagination and little Of
earths treasures to allure the gold-dggers, not
withstanding the many fine prospects which see
occasionally. But the great element, so requisite
in all mining localities is very scarce here,
sat down, however, to tell of the natural scenery
which surrounds our little town, and of the de-
lightful rambles we sometimes have.
One pleasant afternoon last week our precep-
tress invited all the scholars of her school to go
with her to the summit of Pilot Peak, steep,
cragged bluff short distance from town. We
set out and soon came to an eminence which has
long been the home of band of Indians about
two hundred. Half dozen springs gush out
from the hlllside-hence the name of the town,
al Indian Springs"
Then we commenced ascending Pilot Peak Of
ten stopping out of breath, but the cry was "Ex-
celsior," and we cambered on. Gaining the sum-
init we sat down under the rustling trees, and
looked about in silence. The senses, even, seem
ed enlarged, and vision seemed stronger, up in
that invigorating atmosphere. Not cloud was
visible it appeared as though /" Our Father who
is in Heaven" was there, identifying and making
grand the scenery with his sublime presence We
could trace the Sacramento many miles, winding
on its way to the ocean, and still farther off we
could see the Coast Range, rising in naughty
prominence A little stream gushed ont from
the rock below, and leapt over Il ledge, from
which, as the Indians tell, one of their tribe was
by an evil spirit. They say that
strange sounds are heard, at nightfall We stop
ped a WHILE not to wait for the disquietcd spirit
but to watch the last rays of the setting sun,
which looked so beautiful in their crimson and
gold. Then the evening bell and the gathering
shadows called us home. CARRIE L.

The Road that Lends HHomewnrd.

Some three years since, wGs away with par
ty Of friends npon the banks of one Of the far
northern tributaries of the Mississippi, miles and
miles above the Falls Of ST. Anthony All
around was Natures wild dominion it was one
Of the homes of her forest children, whom we had
travelled so far to meet in council.
On little hillside, sloping westward, with a
thin grove of pine behind, aud wide stretch Of
hazel-copse and open prairie before we sat as
the summer day drew near its close. The coun-
cil-circle was not yet broken. Foremost there in
the ring, were hoary chiefs. surrounded by their
grim, Scared warriors, listening with solemn at
tentien to the words OF their New Father aud,
in turn, rising in grave majesty to reply
Among the chiefs was one old man, whose ven
cradle appearance from the first had excited our
attention. His long hair was silyery white, con
trastng strangely with the clear, dark eyes aud
dusky brow, above which was Il rudely-braided
wreath of evergreens-a simple chaplet beside the
gsudy nllcts Of his brethren. The hands of the
old man were pasied with age ; and his feet
from weakness, had long since ceased to lead the
warriors on their trai or to follow in their paths
All the afternoon he sat leaning a little forward
upon the ielled councii-pine, listening with alb
sorbed interest to every word that fell from the
lips of the speakers but as the sun sank lower
and lower toward the far distant line OF the hori-
zon, his attention seemed diverted by the gor-
geous splendor OF that evening sky. The deep
fire of excitement slowly faded from his eyes, aud
in its place grew softer, mister light, as when
one gazes throgh dream medium on some pic
ture of tranquil beauty. We watched him closely,
wondering much what might be the dream of that
century old man whom the world called savage
Slowly sank the sun and as Ono.half the cir
Gle Of its rays disappeared beyond the boundary
line of vision, the old chief rose, and pointing
with trembling finger toward the track of the
departing orb, exclaimed Ke-wa- -ku-nah =
There was sudden silence in the ring and
while we knew not the meaning or force of the
sentence, gazed with reverential awe upon the
singular old man, the interpreter repeated after
him. in tone scarcely less impressive than his
own, 'Kc-wa-ku-nah = The road that leads home-
,card Oh how our hearts thrilled there in the
forest as that simple but beautiful figure Of
speech was interpreted to our understandings,
and we saw before us in the magnificent track Of
the summer sun, the red mans spirit-road-tbe
road that leads homewa1d
