THE HUNBoIDT VOLUNTEER CAMPs-Messec
Company reached the head waters OF Mad river
on the goth of October: thence to Pardee's
ranch, where they expected shelter from the con-
tinued rain, but the Indians had been beforehand,
and burned all the buildings. Going up Mad
river eight miles, they discovered party OF In
dans. Many articles belonging to Mr. Pardee
were found in their raucheria. The Indians have
ammunition, and fifty or seventy-ive good guns,
and when not observed or frightened, can use
them very we'll but they can't shoot off hand
without aiming too high. In one instance they
headed the volunteers and fired at them from the
brush, but the men charged after them through
the chapparel, killing and woundng several
Since that occurrence they have not attempted
surprise. If they hadn't Jared SO roughly at
first they would have picked off many Of the men
before this time, since they shoot well from
rest
1t is hard to find them now they were pursued,
previous to the 18th, to the Forks Of Mad river,
where one of their wounded had been left. Thir-
ty-four were killed or captured before the storm
set in since that time about one hundred more
have been taken. They were left in care OF
Lieut. Prosser who has since added to the num-
Der. The Indians are believed now to be near
Klamath river, and about the head waters of Eel
river Not much can be done this winter, be-
cause of the unusually severe weather not much
can be expected by persons acquainted with the
rigorous climate, during the next three months.
Already the men have suffered much from cold
and wet, but they have made no complaint, nor
has there been quarrel in camp. One person
was discharged in dishonor, and another deserted
in modification at having let prisoner escape
without being able to tell how the Indian got
away-the poor fellow never came back to camp.
Messec we are informed, regretted the crcnm-
stance because the man was first rate soldier.
The men are in tOlerable health, though suffer
ing from colds contracted by exposure to SHOWS
and cold fords. Capt Underwood, of the Regu-
lars, is, we learn, at IIoopa Valley he was de-
sirous to CO operate with the volunteers, but was
prevented by superior order.
1t will require Il great part Of next summer 10
effect the complete removal Of the Indians
Though the expense will he considerable, it is
better to complete the business, otherwise the
condition of the settlers will be worse than be-
fore. Tha Humboldt people all commend the
energy aud solder-like conduct OF Messec and
his men. Thoy hope that the volunteers may not
he recalled until the country shall have been rid
OF Indians.

Import Of the Message.

The Presidents second annual message is long,
arpntpentatite and precise. Like every other
production of Mr. Buchanan's, it neither falls
below nor rises far above respectabiiity. AN
elaborate argument is made in support OF the
Presidents Lecompton policy, and the econclnsion
is arrived at that a Territory should not be ad-
mtted as a State without population OF 92'OOo'
and that general law, making that number
condition of admission, would prevent recurrence
of like confusion. His remarks on the Pacific
Railroad are brief and reasonable, declaring it
inexpedient for Government TO undertake con-
struction of such work, and assuming that its
construction should be committed to companies
chartered by States Immediately interested, which
companies may be assisted by conditional grants
of United States land and money or course,
parties who ride extensively on this phantom road
will be displeased with the summary manner OF
its disposal in the message. A modiflcatlon Of
the Tariff to increase revenue is advised; an In
crease of letter postage from three to five cents
is recommended, and that persons entitled to the
franking privilege be supplied with the rightfu
portion of stamps. The expediency of purchasing
the Island of Cuba for self protection and abol-
ishment of the slave trade, is argued and recon-
mended; also that the northern Mexican States
be taken under the protection of this Government
An equal privilege with other governments is
desired on the Isthmus-no more; general salts
faction is expressed at the manner of conducting
and the termination of the Mormon war, and, with
the exception of Spain, foreign relations are
pronounced in a satisfactory condition. In view
of increasing public debt and colapsing Treasu-
ry, Tariff is strongly advised, together with
retrenchment in several departments, while an
increase of war vessels is thought necessary to
protect our commerce.
The message has, evidently, been laborious
and careful production, and should be satisfactory
to the country, if we may except omission to
mention the fllibuster difficulty; this was pur-
posely omitted, we suppose, to conciliate the
southern friends of the troublesome little man
with gray eyes. The document, in no wise, alters
our estimate of Mr.. Buchanan's statesman ablll-
ties; there is nothing bold or Jacksonlan attemp-
ted but the cautious, non-committal diplomatic is
everywhere discoverable.

SANCTUARY OF HoME.--It is proposed TO amend
the Homestead Law so that unmarried men may
possess home which bailifs and creditors may
not enter uninvited. We believe the proposition
to be wise and just, presuming that exemption
will be proportional to individual necessity The
law enabling creditor to unhouse debtor is a
relic of barbarism; it is unnatural and inhuman
Little creatures of the earth have dens of shelter
from ravening beasts of prey, where their win
tcr's store is safe; birds Of the air have nests
beyond the reach OF predatory fox or purblind
owl, and the son of man, only, hath not where to
lay his head. We maintain that man, unstaned
by crime, should have some place on earth where
lie may turn and resist pursuit and assert that
the rights Of man entitle him to shelter from
winter s cold and summers heat. Even the ugly
spider who weaves drapery about his hole in the
wall, comes to the door and resists invasion OF
his homo, and will thrust his fangS through the
straw, by which he is forced to defensive battle;
and should not man, companionIess, unfortunate,
afraid 10 meet bis fellow on the highway OF busl-
ness. have some place of sanctuary where he may
arrest the remorseless hand Of the law when
would drag the fugitive from the last resting
place. save one? ~
It is no argument to assert that such privileges
might be abused by the depraved ana dishonest;
nearly every law devised by human wisdom, may,
for the same reason be condemned: the same Oh
iection NAV be Justly made TO the right of habeas
corpus, or the privilege Of appeal TO superior
tribunal But it is better that hundred Villains
escape punishment than that one innocent person
should wrongfully suffer.

MORE HISTORY The Sacramento Unions his
torian says that the Age newspaper only lasted
till the beginning of 1851" We think the editor
of the Union has very distinct recollection that
the .qge was in very active existence in April of
that year, at which time, another chronicler re-
lates, the Age reviewed the Unions literary pre-
tensions in six consecutive articles, the effects of
which were thus described bya cotemporary. Mr..
Sumner: "The editor of the Union, mounted
like Death on the Pale Horse, hair erect and
teeth chatterng, with all HI riding after !" We
are almost certain that the editor of the Union
does recolect having been several times flayed
alive during the year 1851.
The Age was published until February. 1858,
and during two years existence gained more
celebrity aud influence than any paper ever pub
lished in Sacramento aud was repeatedly pro-
nounced the best journal in the State by the most
influential of cotemporarieS

THE MOrNTAINEER.-r The mon most worthy Of
mention and yet the most neglected, are the he
rocs of the wood, the mountaineers, the pioneers
who lead the way of civilization. They make
paths through soliudes and multitudes follow:
they traverse the country in advance of States to
uncOnsciousy herald their coming, and to finally
disappear leaving no word except that they were
the miserable couriers of obscurity. Many of
them die from violence or wretchedness, and their
names die also; "a few have acted so sufficiently

JANUARY is said to have been added to the list
of months by the second Roman King C72 years
before Christ The name is derived from Janus,
TO whom the first day was sacred and which was
celebrated by riotous feasting ana giving of pres
ents. But the Roman workman did not spend
the day entirely in revclry; he wrought little
at his trade, for good luck.
Under The Christian dispensation the first Of
January has acquired additional observation as
the anniversary Of Christ's circumcison-that
being the eighth day from Christmas. 1t has
been a festival Of the Roman Catholic Church
from the year 4S7, and has been observed by the

THERE are no strains upon the mind, no trial'
upon the temper, like those which beset writers
for the press. Their work IS never done. There
is no covered walk Of acacias ne" " lake,
" mountaineering serene sky'--no "silVer orb
of the moon"-no "year of jubilee''-no period
of rest to the ditor.-RichmoHd South.
Purely nonsense. A newspaper editor, fitted
for his business, has just as much time to rest as
any other Industrious person. Such gable about
hard working editors is all moonshine; as a gen
ertl thing their labor does not compare with that
of day laborers or hard working artisans. These
porpetually woIked-todeath ones waste more
time in idle swell-tak in loafng places than is
required 10 perform their task.
