Rock CREEK, June 2, 1859.
EDITORS COURIER Il hear, since Mr.. Street
has purchased into the heretofore foreigner
hating and Chnese-loving Rpu6liean, that it is
to be made Democratic paper. That being the
case, what is to become Of the Opposition p
Two against I" nary one, is a little too much
odds. As one of the Opposition, let me beg of
you twain not to be too severe upon us. If you
have giants strength, do not use it as a giant.
Let us out as easy as possible.
With trembling,
Yours, &C. OPPOSITION.

WAR IN EURoPE.-It is altogether probable,
according to the advices last received from
Europe by the Overland Mail, that to-day hos
tile armies are in conflict in the beautiful land
of Italy As near as we can gather, the cause
of the difficulty is this: Piedmont, backed by
France, wished TO force Austria to relnquish
her acquisitions in Italy. Austria refused to do
so, and also refused to send representative to
the Peace Congress. At the latest dates an
immense Austrian army was upon the frontiers
of Piedmont, determined to fight unless Victor
Emanuel, King of Sardinia, would relnquish
his pretensions. Russia and France have formed
an alliance offensive and defensive The Ger
manic confederation will support Austria. Eng
land appears to be in very great stew, but as
yet has not indicated what part she will play
in the strife. The chances are that nearly all
Europe will be involved in this war. Bread
stuffs have already advanced considerably, and
let the struggle terminate as it may, the people
of the United States will doubtless be the great
est gamers.

Nor CANDIDATE.-Judge Miller, of Trinity,
came over to this place OIL Thursday, and be-
fore he had been here an hour the fact that he
was candidate for District Judge was "con-
fdentialiy" whispered around-much to his
surprise when it first reached his ears. The
Judge thinks if he travels a little farther down,
say to Red Bluffs, that the people will make him
Governor sure-and as that would interfere
with the Congressional chances of Burch, of
whom he is an ardent friend, he posted back
home rapidly.
P. S.-Some persons accuse Judge Pitzer of
starting this report, but the Judges well known
antipathy to playing jokes upon friends renders
the accusation highly improbable.

CoRREcTIoN.-Week before last we stated that
copy of the Jail Keepers bill was in the pos
session of the Republican before we published it,
and almost as soon as it was introduced into the
Assembly. The Republican of last week says
this is a mistake, and that no copy of the bill
ever reached us except Through the public prints"
Our assertion was predicated upon a portion of
a letter written to us by Mr.. Street, the present
editor of the Republican. He wrote us that he
had sent a copy of the bill to that paper soon
after its introduction into the Assembly. We
therefore had right to suppose that the bill
reached the Republican, as it is very seldom, We
presume, that packages, mailed at Sacramento
for Shasta, fail to reach their destination.
As to the amendments made to the bill in the
Senate, if we mistake not, they were merely
verbal-mere improvements in the language,
without changing in any particular the meaning
and intent of the original bill, SO far as it re-
ferred to this county.

The Red BlunHanging Affair.

The Beacon, of last Wednesday, says that the
Courier, after publishing Sheriff Dunn's Card,
repeated the charge that Col. Stevenson's Indian
boy was taken from the authorities and hung by
Vigilantes. The Beacon is mistaken There is
nothing of the kind in the remarks following the
Gard" By the way, the Beacon will perceive
by reading the introductory remarks to Sheriff
Dunn's Card, that that document was intended
to follow the article headed +" A Bad Affair"
which was in type before we received copy of
the Card. The little article headed Horrible"
had no sort of connection with Sheriff Dunn's
Card. II was a mistake made in making up"
the form-a mistake which the editor of the
Beacon, who is printer, will readily understand.
The mere taking the boy out of the hands of
the officers would have been q trivial affair, in
our estimation, compared with his execution,
and one scarcely worthy of mention one way or
the other.
The Beacon says it never would have obtained
its consent to assist in the execution of the In
dian child-nevertheless it asks, where can
these astute editors point to justification equal
to this ?" We reply, in the Southern States.
We have read again and again of negro children
setting fire to their masters houses, and burn
ing portions of the family--and in no instance
have they been hung for it.
We readily acknowledge that few years ago
the Courier endorsed the hanging and expatria-
tion of white men, not, however, for merely
stufing ballot-boxes, rowdying about the city,
&C." as the Beacon says, but for murder. Was
Casey hung for ballot-box stuffing? So oitwould
appear, if the Beacon's charge against is true.
We always thought he was hung for numbering
James King, of VIM. For the Courier's course at
that time we hold ourselves responsible, al
though as the editor of the Beacon knows, the
writer of this was then in the Atlantic States.
long time ago the Courier, as tar as it could,
befriended some of the leading citizens of Red
Bluffs, who were here on trial for hanging man
for stealing a mule. We then did not justify
their act, but would never have consented to see
them punished vile criminals are punished.
So too, at present, think it was a shocking
and most horrid thing to hang the Indian child,
although, taking all the circumstances under
consideration, we would raise our voice against
their punishment-excepts SO far as their own re-
grets may prove punishment.
