Jarnngin and His Sister.

John NJ. Jarnagin, of the Trinity Bar, and son
of United States Senator Jarnagin, of Tennessee
died in Weaverville last Friday night, from
wound received in Walkers expedition to Lower
California in 1854 He was an attorney OF
great professional ability in his twenty-frst
year he was admitted to practice in the Supreme
Court of Alabama, and came from Mobile to this
State, we believe in 1853, and in 1854 went with
Walker on the Sonora expedition, where he was
Secretary of State, and in battle, received the
wound which for long time has incapacitated him
for business, and, at length, killed him. Returning
to San Francisco he was tried, with Col. Watkins,
for violation of neutrality laws, and was acquit-
ted. Thence went to Humboldt, and was there
candidate for District Judge, failing to get the
nomination by the American party by one vote,
only. In 1855 he came to Weaverville, and died
at the age of sc.
This is the brief fe-history of highly endow-
ed Tennessean, whose genius aud requirements
fitted him for place in national councils or cab
inets On one occasion, in the Supreme Court at
San Francisco, be made an argument which is yet
spoken of as one of the abest and most brilliant
ever made before that tribunal. OF late he has
been unable to attend to professional business,
and slowly wasted down to death. Proceedings
of the Trinity Bar and District Court in respect
of his memory, are printed in another place in
this paper. During his illness and at his death,
Mr. Jarnagin was cared for and attended as be
came good-hearted strangers.
lie had sister living in New Orleans, Mrs, W.
II. Brown, who, during his long hclplessness sent
him the means of living comfortably and indie
pendenty of all but her. She was often spoken
of to his friends, and in his last hours, when his
spiritual adviser would have spoken Of after life,
Jarnagin waived the subject and talked of the
sister who forgot him not as he halted down the
hopeless avenues of life. We tell you, Margaret
Brown, that your thousand dollars were q thous
and times a thousand blessed, for the hallOwed
presence of sisters love fingered and dwelt
with him among the shadows of death and
strangers tell of it, and we proclaim it from the
snowy hills which now at evening throw their
solemn shadows down on the soTowful city which
Death has built in the wilderness

CITIZENS LIBRARY,-Jo!m II. Ridge, editor OF
the Marysvilie Express, is gentleman for whom
we entertain great respect and esteem personally
and professionally. lie writes on politics from
duty, and writes well; but in more refined con-
position he shows inclination to write, and a true
genius for its beautiful execution. Tsiling Of
the Marysvlle Merchants Library, he says;
"There may you go to the earliest founta of
truth and wisdom, at the which the elder genera
tions Of men drank before you, in the dim twilight
Of long ago There may you sit and listen to
the sweet voices of the old time poets, still living
in the vivid leaves that you turn, though they,
themselves those old time poets-are dust; yet
their spirits seem to fit through the atmosphere
of the silent room, aud whisper in your ear: we
know you love us, though we are dead There
may you start and wander back, II you will, to the
days when this great government Of sovereign
States was founded. You may be present, as il
were, at the laying of each stone, and the uprear-
ing of each pillar, in the mighty fabric. With
Washington, and Jefferson, and Adams, aud
Hamilton, you may watch the glorious structure
rise, till, fronting the nations and crowned with
the stars, Immortality descends from Heaven aud
writes her name upon its bread and consolidated
brow. Following the crcling years al they
downward roll, you may there see, rs in Agrip-
pas glass the storms OF contending factions
beating In vain against the solid base Of that
eternal tower, while some mighty statesman, born
to be his country's savior in her hour Of need
some Clay or Jackson-walks the mad and raging
waters and, with potential voice, proclaims;
: Peace, be still ="

OF ONE THING we wish to speak, in time in
regard to interfering in party discussions. We
make solemn pledge that we will in no way par
ticipate in party discussions, will we write to
the prejudice of any one individual because of
his political opinions. We might have written
on the Kansas question with proprety, because
it is national one, and as such within the range
of an independent paper but having so written
would have done no good, and might have engen
dered bitterness. We mention this to show how
careful we have been not to tread on forbidden
ground, or to needlessly respass on the political
prejudices of any one. There may be questions
of political nature that come within our terri
tory, but they must he of common interest before
we meddle with them--everytbing of partisan
nature is cast ont, and left for partisan journals
to nibble at. We have other things to do, and of
infinitely more moment; and with this positive
declaration we hope no one will misinterpret the
freedom of an independent journal.

ALLAN MOORE.

On lonely Humboldt's desert shore,
A narrow grave they made him,
And traced the name Of Allan Moore,
To mark where they had laid him.
No flowers bloom upon bis grave
To deck his lonely pillow;
The wild-sage branches DER it wave
Beneath fading willow.
Along Lake Eres beeting shore,
In silent hemlock bowers,
A maiden mourns for Allan Moore
And gathers faded flowers;
Poor Nell Monroe is crazy now
Her hair is lett unbraided;
The rose that bloomed upon her brow,
The lily white has faded,
She wept not when tidings came.
That Allan Moore had perished-
She sighed not when she heard his name
That name so fondly cherished
Too rudely came the shock Of woe,
1t made the lifechord sever;
Her spirit fell beneath the blow
To rise no more forever!
In vain with gifts they WOO poor Nell
Bright jewels are rejected
The spotted fawn she loved 80 we'll
Is left to die neglected
Her love-toued voice is never heard
Her star of hope has fallen;
She whispers only one fond word
The cherished name of Allan
When round his grave the moonbeams play
When stars are vigila keeping,
The Indian maidans love to stray
Where Allan Moore is sleeping;
But one heart only feels the woe
For him 40 lowly lying;
That one alone hath felt the blow
Poor, crazy Nell is dying

FICTITIoUs REPENTANCE.-CertainS Sacramento
ministers, hearing of the eastern revvals, have
instituted day-prayer meetings in order to bring
about furious state of God-fearing and devil
abandoning in that city. They desire to make
if possible, religious ado corresponding with
the Importance of this commonwealth Now this
is all wrong, and WILL in its results bring con
tempt on the eigion which we venerate too much
to see it made spectacle Of These spasmodic
and multitudnous hell-heeng excitements never
of hyserical StrepetuS in which men and women
repent in clamorous herds and after the excite
ment is over, 60 farther back in the valley of
Sin. We have no faith in these gregarious refor-
these laborious prayer-meetings, than where the
eart-stricken one knees under a hedge and
wrestles with the angel alone. Men grow alike
ferocous or tender hearted in crowds they hunt
the poor fugitive relenlessly, until growing pitt
full they build him monument and call him
martyr, They are sympathetic in wrath or ten
derness. From revival meetings they start to
Heaven with exulant songs but are scattered by
the way
The most ridiculous part of the performance
in Sacramento is that the Union newspaper is en-
gagged in religious exhortation We have heard
of a thief who robbed the poor box, consumed
the Sacraments, and then kneeled at the altar and
made the sign Of the cross

SAN FRANCIsCo IIERALD.-This week we have
the San Francisco Daily Herald in exchange, 1t
is the most complete newspaper on this coast,
and always has been. 1t has lived through an
ordeal which no other has endured, and though
we did not agree with its sentiments we always
considered the Herald the best model of a news
paper in the country. In estimating the value
of a newspaper we never take in consideration
its political opinions or the peculiar crotchet Of
its editors.
We will send no exchange to any daily paper
whose publishers do not exchange daity. We
don't care whether they get our paper or MOTT
will find readers enough and will make its own
way.

WEAyERyILTE CALIFORNIA, SATURDAY, APRIL "a, 1853.
The Island Builder.

The morning came the clouds cleared away,
and the tears shed in the storm hung trembllngly
on weed and willow The sea monster, which,
affrighted, had gone to burrow In the sepulchre
of proud ships and human bones, came up and
freyed the waterfowl from the bosom of the ocean
The sunbeams that had been broken by the cha
fng waters, Glove together again and stole down,
fathom on fathom, until they revealed little
builder struggling with a grain of sand she
was laying the foundation of an island which her
genius was to raise above the waves-where hui
man beings were to be born and die, where the
sea-bird would make her nest, where the Angel
of the resurrection would come to re animate the
dust of q thousand generations, after he had
sworn the oath of Times annihilaton! The
heart of the little builder swelled with gladness
in its cold chamber as the pyramid rose slowly,
slowly. But the great levathan troubled the
waters; the pyramid fell and the builder hid un-
der stone; then her heart grew strong again
and she crept out and worked on, Once more
the structure began to rise, higher than before.
Others of her kind came, each one laying up a
sand grain, until hundred million builders
wrought upon the work founded by an atom of
the wave
The roaring of cannon, the waving of banners
and the elevation of the cross, proclaimed the
conservation of a new found island, and the sea-
men, looking at the unfolding ensign of their
native land, strobe proudly in it's shadow and
shouted defiance to its enemies and the waves.
Then an old man stood forth, with sceptre in
his hand and exclaimed, reverently: Kneel, and
bow low the head; this is new land, designed
by Heaven part of the boundless possessions
of its devoted servants, defenders of the Faith,
our most gracious sovereigns; to them it is con
secrated in the name Of the Holy Church, amen !
Again the cannon thundercd and the banners
waved, but no one thought of the atom insect
who, a thousand years before, had founded the
island with a grain of sand And often, in the
midnight OF the soul, when the heart beat heavy
and slow, when the bow Of promise had turned to
iron bars and hid behind the trailing drapery OF
despair, when the stars that shone so cheerily on
the gay hearted glared on him like the eyehalla
of angry deities, has ambition mused on the fate
of the island builder, whose deeds aud memory
are left in the unknown histories of the sea.
