RESOLUTIONS or distraction.

The resolutions instructing our Senators and
admission of Kansas with the Lecompton Con-
stitution, passed the Senate on the 10th inst
by the following vote:
AYEs-Anderson, Baker, Berry, Burch, Coul-
ter, Dickinson, Ferguson of Sierra, Garter,
Gregory, Hamm, Holden, Johnson of FL Doraix
do, Ketchum, Lewis, Merritt, Meioney, Parher6,
Rogers, Taliaferro Thom-2O.
NoEs-Allen, Burton, Bell, Carpenter, Chase
Ferguson of Sacramento, Goodwin, Grant,
Griffith, Hart, johnson of Sacramento, Mesick
Phelps, Soule, Sullivan-15.
4 We presume Senator Broderick and Rep4e-
sentative McKibben viii look upon these red
lutiens as but the opinions of the members
individuals. To permit them to shape their 3
tion on the Kansas question different from that
which they have heretofore taken, would sub
ject them to the contempt of all men. We
doubt if a single member Tho voted for the
resolutions thought for moment that they
would exert any influence over the action of
either Broderick or McKibben. That maiori-s
ty of the people of this State are opposed to
these instructions, we entertain but little doubt
Indeed, some of the Senators who spoke and
voted in their favor, do not appear to doubt that
they spoke and voted in favor of that which
was not approved BY the people. Mr. Mexritk
Ilin his speech of the 10th, said
sThey Esenators on jlie sac Jul
dealt in glitterfng generalities, and it ~, q
that they can capture portion of the Democ-
tracy by such speeches as these. But he (the
| spcaker) believed the people would come round
right in the end"
Now, we submit, if the people bave to come
round" to the genslemaas positi n, the only
fair Inference is that they are not with him
now. Hence he, representative of the people,
places himself in the position of one assuming
to instruct Senators and Representatives in
Congress to do that to which the people are op-
posed

Nor KIILED.-We learn from the Nevada
Democrat that Ridgely, who is said 10 have been
killed at Gold Hill by one Tyree, whom the form
had gone cunning after, was only badly
wounded. He is rapidly recovering. 1t is stated
shat when Ridgly fred, he drew up his left arm,
as a rest for his pistol. His carpet bag was in
his left hand and covered his vital parts; 9TH
ervise he would probably have been killed on
the SPOT Hidgely is known IN this portion OF
the country by the soubriquette of q Emigrant. ?
He is rather desperate character. Our read
ers will remember that some time last winter,
we chronicled the fact that two sporting gentle
men went cunning after each other over at
Buckeye. "Emgrant' was one of the parties.

MORE New GooDs-We observed in our streets
in the early part of the week, large number of
huge wagons, heavily loaded with goods. 1t Is
safe to say that the stock of goods now ou hand
in this place, so far as quantity is concerned is
unprecedented in the history of our town.
If packers and traders from the neighboring
towns, and from the counties of Trinity and Sis
kiyou, cannot purchase goods to great advan-
tage in Shasta now, we are very much mistaken.
The most of the immense stock at present on
on hand, was brought to Red Bluffs during the
time the California Steam Navigation Company
was charging but $40 per ton for freight. Now,
however, the price of freight from San Francisco
10 Red Bluffs is again restored to figure which
abe Company deem g paying" the temporary re-
u3action having been made for the purpose OF
resisting opposition. Hence, many of the goods
now on hand, and brought here when the low
freightage rates ruled, can now be sold for the
same figures that they would cost to get here
under the present advanced rates, and yet yield
handsome profits to our merchants. Therefore
we again repeat that our merchants are at pres
ent in position to supply their customers with
extraordinarily cheap goods.

Cunning NEAR BUcKEYE.-A friend of ours
last week took to wife an interesting young la
dy, without the consent of her father Where
nPon the old gentleman loaded himself with a
full charge of lightning whisky, and his rifle
with the proper allowance of lead and powder,
and repaired to the vicinity Of the residence of
the man who robbed him of his daughter and
not finding him at home, went cunning after
one OF his partners at whom he tried his skill
at distance of about rs yards. The ball just
messed the ca5asa Of the unoffending partaer.-
We trust the old gentleman has since been mol
Lifted. He should remember that he was once
young HIMSELF and make all due allowance for
the hot-headedness of youth. Young folks, es-
pecially girls, will rush their precious necks into

The Kansas Question.

Upon our first page will be found the news
brought by the steamer Sonora. The most in
teresting portion, of course is that touching the
Kansas question. As will be observed, the
friends of the Lecompton Constitution were
beaten in the House in the first contest We think
1t probable, however, that the Lecompton Con-
stitution will nevertheless be received The
Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press says:
proposition, In the form of resolution,
will be offered from the Lecompton side, to the
effect that the people of Kansas. under the Le-
compton Constitution, every provision in that
instrument to the contrary notwithstanding, will
have the right to change it at any time after its
acceptance, if it be accepted by Congress"
The adoption of this proposition Will certainly
be violation of the doctrine of non-interfe-
renee, for If Congress can change one part of the
Constitution it can change the whole, and
send back to the people of Kansas an entirely
new Constitution. Nevertheless we think the
indications are, that there are among the Anti
Lecomptonites a sufficient number who, for the
sake OF present peace. will vote for the recep-
tion of the Lecompton Constitution with this
provision attached.
There iy one feature about this fight that is
wholly anomalous. 1t will be observed that the
southern members in a body are fighting for the
nlimission of Kansas, while the northern men,-
bers are in opposition, and yet the chances are
two to one that SO soon as she is admitted into
the Union, she will be represented in the United
States Senate by two Black Republicansl The
wonder with US is, to see Southerners fighting
for, and Republicans fighting against an increase
of Black Republican Representations in the Ma
tional Senate

ATTEMPTED AssAssISATIoN.--We learn through
a private letter received in town, that a few
nights since an effort was made, in one Of the
streets of Yreka, to assassirate Sheriff Fair
freka seems to be infested with a gang of the
worst sort of villains. Several attempts have
been made to fire the town-one man, Everet..
was arrested almost in the very act-quitc a
number of highway robbcres, just outside of
the suberbs, have been perpetrated and now, in
addition to the recent shocking murder of a
courtezan, we hear of ar attempt to assaasinate
the sheriff of the county.
The citizens have organized large body of
secret police, composed entirely of responsible
men and property holders. Henceforth the
bummers and thieves will be watched in every
move that they make, and wo be to them if they
are caught violating the law.

Wagon Road to WeaveryilIe.

Ever since 1850 the road from this place to
Weaverville, like the famous one to Jordan. has
been deemed q a hard road to traveln By the
enterprise of certain citizens of Trinity. among
whom Mr.. Vim. Lowden stands prominent. the
word hard, has, in parliamentary phrase. been
stricken from the bill and the word easyn sub
stituted.
On Saturday last, Sam. Hanson, of the Cali
fornia Stage Co., Mr.. Carr, President of the
Shasta and Yreka Wagon Road Co., Richard
Bentley, of the Centre Stables, Messrs. Tower
and Francis of the Tower House, and Mr.. Low
den left this place in buggies for Weaver
vile over the new road just completed BY
Mr.. L. They made the trip with perfect ease.
Indeed they inform us that BY sar the wcr st por-
ton Of the road from this place TO Teaverville,
is the Divide" between here and Whisky
Creek If this is SO, there is no reason why
heavily loaded wagons should not be seen en-
tering Weayerville from Shasta and Red B1na;u
in few weeks.
Mr.. Hanson informs that the California Stage
Company will have daily line of stages run
ming into Weaveryile from this place about the

Progress of Free Sentiment in North
Carolina.
From letter just received from a
friend in North Carolina.-says the Chi
cago Press d Tri5uns--we take the fol-
lowing interesting passage:
was down in Randolph county last
week where ! was born. There are few
slaves in that county, and the sentiment
against the " institution is becoming
stronger and stronger. The Wesleyan
Methodists are quite numerous. and are
gaining strength. Several years ago,
two Of their preachers were compelled to
leave the country, and was told by a
gentleman well acquainted with all the
facts and feelings of the people. that the
driving out of those men had caused at
least hundred families to leave the
county; and like number have left
this Guilford) county, fer the same
cause. John A. Gilmer, our Congress
man, took part in the affair, and lost
hundreds Of votes thereby; but his
course in Congress = especially his
speeches on the Kansas question--has
won them all back. His motives in act
ing the part he did were misunderstood
by the people. His intimate friends
know that he accompanied the mob for
the sole purpose of preventing personal
violence TO the men, which no other man
in tho country could have done. These
things are interesting to me they show
that things " is workin' in /" Old Rip"
If the Republicans will nominate the
right man for President, and some good
conservative Southern man for Vice,
they will get strong vote in this State.
Slavery or no Slavery. there would
be large vote against it. Ny brother
owns about So, 900 worth Of " niggers -
don't want to sell them can't set them
free without special act of the Legisla-
ture isn't able to send them to free
State. and they are dead expense to

are in the same 9 fx.''
