Lockhart's ferry, after a two weeks march In
the evening the company was divided into two
scouting detaehments-one starting for Hot
Spring Valley, distance of twenty miles the
other left for Big Valley, on Pit River, where il
is supposed there are large number of warlike
Indians. portion of the Pit River Volunteer:
accompanied the Pine Grove Rangers
On the return of these companies, should they
not be successful in finding Indians, they will all
centre at Lockharts ferry, on Pit River, and
proceed down the north side of Pit River to
Squaw Valley where they are almost certain Of
finding large number of Indians.
The volunteers are all robust and fearless men
and appear to be fully determined upon subdu-
ing the Indians. All the citizens of Pit River
valley appear to be of one mind in regard to the
propriety of shooting down the Indians like wild
beasts-each and every one of them being in al
most constant fear of their lives from the treach-
erous rascals.

A Mean Robbery.

On Wednesday night the 18th inst a man by
the name of Sam Johnson-formerly a deserter
from Fort Crook-went to the house of Mr.
Painton, some four miles from Fort Crook, and
being well acquainted with Mr. P, stated that
he was hungry. Mr.. P. requested his wife to
get some supper, which request she com piled
with. About the time he had finished supper,
Tom Bell and Ben. Gordon entered the house
and soon after Tom Bell presented pistol at
the breast of Mr.. Painton Mr.. P. asked johnson
what this meant. johnson replied that it was
the intention of the party to rob him of his mo-
ney Tom Bell was the principal spokesman,
and told Mr.. Painton if he did not come out, and
tell where his money was, lie would shoot him
and throw him in the river. Painton being much
frightened, gave him what money he had in the
house-amounting to some eighty dollars. They
then tied Mr.. and Mrs. Painton, and commenced
ransacking the house, but did not succeed in
hnding anything Of much value. They took
some blankets and cooking utensils also what
ever provisions they could find They then
made Mr.. Painton tell where his stock was run
ming, and Tom Bel stood guard over Mr.. and
Mrs. r, with cooked pistol, while johnson and
Ben. Gordon went out, caught his best mule
and saddled and bridled him. They then re-
turned to the house and packed up their plunder.
They bid Mr. and Mrs. Painton good night, leav
ing them both tied. Mrs P. succeeding in get
ting loose first, but neither of them dared yen-
ture out until long after daylight. when the
neighbors were stirring.

COUNTY TICKET.
Treasurer-Haybu received 1903 votes no
opposition.
Coroner-Dr. DeShields receiyed 1853 votes
Jenkins, $40 scattering, 2.
Surveyor-Quait received 1874 votes no op-
position.
Superintendent of Common Schools-Godfrey
received 1916 votes; no opposition.
Total number of votes cast for Governor, Is sc
being an increase of 524 votes over onr vote
of last year, and decrease of 337 as compared
with the Gubernatorial election of 1857.
1t will be seen, however, that while the entire
vote cast at the recent election is less, by 337
that the vote of 1857, when Weller was elected
yet the Democratic majority for the State ticket
is greatly increased. Weller's majority over
Bowie was 726-over Bowie and Stanley, 577
Latham's majority over Currey is 1924 over
Currey and Stanford, lol6. Thus, while our ag-
gregate vote has fallen off since 1857, our DEM
ocratic majority has doubled
In 1857, Stanley, the Republican candidate
for Governor, received 100 votes in this county.
This year Stanford, Republican, received but 8
votes-being decrease of lol votes in two
years. AT this rate of decrease, if it continues
two months longer, there will not be Republi-
can in the county.
There should have been two thousand votes
cast in the county. They are here. Business,
or indifference, prevented the polling of the en-
tire vote

The Herald's Editor.

Week before last we arraigned Mr.. Street as a
endeavors to hide the evidence with which we
sustained the charge, by making charges against
US. In another article, however, he appears to
have forgotten this denial for therein we find
virtual pleading of "guity" to the indictment
found by ourself. In that article he says:
1T is true, we have endeavored to maintain a
neutral position on the candidates for Tax Col
lector, we have not, nor could not, under the
circumstances, work for Skilman, and aside
from party discipline our sympathies have been
for Mr.. Spatz, &c. E2f
Now this, from the editor of a Democratic or
gan, is certainly rich. We understood that,
when the Herald was converted into a Democrat
ic sheet, its former editors Democracy was not
considered sufficiently immaculate, and that
" Charles Rufus" was therefore placed in his
stead. Charles Rufus's democracy was consid-
cred to be above reproach. 1t was thought that
he would go to the ID if his party bid him do
it. How awfully have his friends and admirers
been sold. For we find that at the very first
temptation, like the gal in Wisconsin, he weak
eued.
Now, will the reader just read the foregoing
extract again, and then look at this, which we
copy from the Herald of the 9th July, before Mr..
Streets friend, Dreibelbis, had been defeated in
Convention
"We have no patience with men whe,Iuyough
incidence or indifference, stay away from the
primary organizations and conventions and then
because men are not nominated who entirely
suit them, bolt the party, and fly off in the sup
port of Independent or opposition candidates.
<
Let every candidate before the Convention be
required to come forward and define his posi-
ton; aed declare his determination to support
the nominations, and if on his own defeat for
nomination, he UiolateS his ,cord, and bolts the
ticket, bdsely and treacherously betraying his
friends, and the great party he is pledged as man
! ofhonor TO stand By; let him carry about hiE ev-
er afterward, stamped on his forehead, the brand
of political ddmndtion"
We commend these several paragraphs from
the Herald to Mr.. Streets careful and prayerful
perusa.

The Contest In this County.

The Democracy Of Shasta county have just
cause to feel proud of the result of the recent
election. The Democracy of the State have just
cause to feel proud of the Democracy of Shasta.
The eve of Milton S. Latham, when scanning the
official vote of the State, may well linger with
pride upon the returns from Shasta. One thou
sand and twenty y-four majority, out of a vote of
eighteen hundred and ninety-six, is SO far above
what he or his friends had a right to expect, is
a result so astounding and magnificent, that all
he can say, all any Democrat can say is
Thrice Glorious old Shastah
The hottest of the fight however, centered
about the Collectorship. Here the battle ragged
with bitterness and neyer-say-die spirit unpar-
alleled in our county election annals. No hon
orabe means were spared to accomplish the
defeat of the regular nominee, by the friends of
the Anti-Lecompton candidate And the most
dishonorable means were resorted to, TO bring
about the same result, by men calling them
selves Democrats. They did not even hesitate
to sacrifice their own honor to secure this end.
The man whom Mr.. Skiilman beat in Convention
iOi iuc hpfiihAutiOul anu hAO hetN
pledged bis :" word of honor" to support every
nominee on the ticket, trampled and spit upon
that pledge-went into the Sierra precinct and
worked against Mr.. Skillman, and for boiling
Democrat. We are informed he admitted that
he was pledged to vote tor the nominee, but that
he could consistently work against him-and
yet he permitted the polls to close without vot-
ing for him What idea OF honor such men
have? But Notwithstanding all this treachery,
the whole county ticket was triumphantly elect
ed. True Mr.. Spatz came very near electing Mr..
Andrews, by drawing some 476 Democratic votes
from the regular Democratic nominec-but he
failed by over p " Bakers Dozen" and SkAman
succeeded by majority of fourteen: and the
traitors were beaten, "horse, foot and Dragons"
The Democracy have thus administered re-
buke to boilers and traitors which we trust will
long be remembered in Shasta county. And
those Democratic leaders who sought to defeat
Mr.. Skilman simply to crafty personal malice,
have the qualification (?) of knowing that, in
stead of defeating him, they have contributed to
make his success the greatest personal victory
ever obtained by candidate in Shasta county
As to those Democrats who permitted them
selves to be cheated by dishonest defeated can
didates for nominations, we say " let by-gones
be by cones " They had perfect right to cast
their votes they pleased. They, however,
should never forget the men who cheated them
into abandoning nominee of their party. And
when those men again seek nominations for of
6ce-as they most certainly will, if they live for
they are inveterate office-seekers, standing
candidates" before Shasta County Conventions
they should spurn them with indignation; TOR
men who will violate their pledged word of ho-
nor once, will do it again, if they can make few
dollars thereby.

N65- The Herald editor, in reply to our init
nation that he was never heard of since his re-
sidence in this county, outside Of his precinct.
says he would refer US " to any gentleman well
posted in Michigan affairs" and concludes by
informing Us that he estumped that State for Gen.
Cassl Wonderful Il is little singular, if this
be so, that Gen. Cass wasn't elected. 1t is also
singular, if Charles Rufus is such a very old
stunper, that be did not raise his eloquent voice
in this county, during the canvas just closed, IN
behalf of single man on the ticket, State or
county. He pretended to be the ardent friend of
Milton S. Latham and yet he never made one
speech, that we have heard of, in behalf of the
ticket which his name headed The Heralds
assertion that we never made speeches in this
county, unless Mr. Dosh or Mr.. Skilman were
on the ticket, is simply untrue. This great
Michigan stumper however, never did stump
Shasta county unless his name was on the ticket.
In the Know Nothing times of 1855, where was
this old Michigan stumper? Why did he not
raise his pracriced voice for the Democracy then,
when it was in need
