about half-past ten O'Clock, in charge of the

A VOLUNTEER CoMPANY-We understand an
effort, likely to prove successful, is being made
to organize rife company in this place. We
trust it will succeed. The arms now in town
belonging to the State, at least portion of them,
would doubtless be furnished the company by
the Governor, on lawful application being
made. The organization of such a company
would be followed by many pleasing effects. To
the members the exercises would afford source
OF healthful and pleasing recreation, and to the
whole community, especially the fair portion,
an attractive feature of our public celebrations
or gala days The organization of the company
need cost each member very little money Sup
pose the uniform were to consist of black caps,
black pants, blue, grey, or green shirts, and
boots. This would be cheap and at the same
time exceedingly tasteful, and especially nppro-
pirate for a mining town,

SUPREME COURT REPoRTs-For four wears past
the Sacramento Union, at great expense, has
published the opinions of the Supreme Court
the morning following their delivery. This SER
vice proved most valuable to the entire bar of
the State, and especially to such men as Judges
Field and Baldwin, each of whom enjoyed a
large practice before the Supreme Court. A few
days ago, however, the Union people were in
formed that they could no longer obtain copies
of these opinions in time for publication the
morning succeeding their delivery-that that
privilege would hereafter be enjoyed only by the
new paper, the Democratic Standard We con-
fess that we could scarcely credit the declaration
that our Supreme Court had descended so far as
to do an act of this kind. 1t would surely have
been beneath the dignity of Supreme Judges to
use their official position to fight newspaper.
We are glad, therefore, to perceive that the
Clerk of the Supreme Court assumes all the re-
sponsibility. He says that he is entitled to fees
for copies of the papers belonging to his office,
and that any paper can have copies thereof by
paying such fees. This Of course acquits the
Judges of blame.

To Be REGRETTED.-It is indeed to be much
regretted that them one hundred and thirteen
guns" did not arrive before the trial of the Rock
Creek " rioters" came off, Then it could have
been claimed by the prosecutors and prosecutors
of said rioters," that their peacable conduct
during the trial was the result of the presence
of said guns. 1nasmuch, however, as the guns
did not arrive until after that affair had been
concluded, that subject of boast has been kept
out of their mouths. We pity them for the loss
of such very good thing. However, some of
them are now trying to get even, ON this head,
by asserting that but for the fact that the Sheriff
sent for them " one hundred and thirteen guns y
terrible outrages would have been committed.

A FlourIshing Spring Trade.

From present appearances we are led to be-
heve that our merchants are just entering upon
what will prove most unusually flourishing
and remunerative spring trade. All the indica-
tions point to this conclusion. An immense
amount of rain has fallen in the mining sections
in this quarter of the State, while the mountains
are more deeply covered with snow than for
several years previous. Hence we are justified
in predicting that an abundant supply of water
Will be IN possession of the miners of the various
localities for several months longer than during
either of the past two or three years.
We perceive that our merchants-it would be
surprising if they did not-are acting upon these
unerring indications of prosperous trading
season, by repairing and enlarging their store
rooms, and filling their stores with immense
supplies ofgoods. During the past ten days we
have noticed quite an unusual number of huge
wagons unloading their huge cargoes. These,
again. are daily being taken up and carried into
the mountains by large pack trains.
There is evidently a good time coming. In
deed its shadow is already here. Ye that have
goods, wares, ETC., to sell, tell of it. Our COL
umns are gaping for the pleasant " narratives"
STEALING Fruit TREEs.-Some scamp has re-
Gently stolen several fruit trees, of very choice
kinds, from the garden of Robt Stevenson, Esq,
ofthis place. They were recently planted, and
could therefore be easily drawn, by strong
hand, from the grouud. This is certainly a most
pitful species of thieving Is not the fellow
afraid that the first fruit of the trees will choke
him? He is certainly an unwise thief, for if he
lives till he becomes an old man, and still re-
tains possession of those trees, he will daily hear
the winds whistle through their branches the
word thief" To man with even the poorest
sort ofa conscience this will surely be terrible
punishment Cut those trees down, Mr. Thief.
Don't raise living monument to speak in every
breeze of your infamy.

Correspondence.

MEssRs. EDIroRs.-I am eredibly informed
that an agent from Gov. Weller arrived in
this place on Wednesday evening, FOR the pur-
pose Of taking back to Sacramento the lib Min
ME Rifles, receatly sent here to assist the Sher-
if in quelling an insurrection of the miners that
never existed, and arresting men who constantly
refused to resist an officer of the law. At all
events, he stated in the stage on his way up that
he was on that business, and that Gov. Weller
was under the (very correct) impression that he
had acted too hastily in forwarding the guns.
The following morning he, in company with
Col. E. ]. Lewis, who brought up the arms as
far as Red Bluffs, started for Sacramento with
out said guns.
Now the question is, through whose represen-
tations was be induced to leave the guns here
where we all know they are not wanted From
the fact that COL Lewis asserted publicly "that
the guns were in his charge" &C., &C., it is the
general impression that it is to him that our
county is indebted for longer stay of the guns
hope you will send this article to Col. Lewis,
SO that, if | and others are in error, he may put
himself right. A MINER.
IS. Since sending you the foregoing learn
that an official has stated that the agent alluded
to above was the State Arm ,rer, who was to
have come up with the arms, to put them in
shooting order, make cartridges, &C., but that
he got intoxicated and the boat left without him.
don't believe this tale. He stated in the stage
to a citizen now in town that the Governor had
sent him for the arms. If he came up to fix the
arms, prepare cartridges &C., why did he not
perform that service? why did he leave the
following morning without touching gun? l
believe that he came for the guns, and that Col.
Lewis induced him to go back without them,
and accompanied him 10 make it all right with
the Governor

Trial Of the Rioters,

On Saturday last, the jury having been COM
pletedf ths case of the People vs.. Shin ct al,
went to trial. A number of witnesses were ex-
amined on both sides, which examination occu-
pied the Court until late hour In the afternoon,
when an adjournment until after supper was
had. Upon re-assembling the counsel made
their arguments and the case was submitted to
the jury, who promptly, without consultation,
and upon the first ballot, brought in verdict of
" not guilty"
1t appeared on trial that the Cinnamon were
run off claims that were owned by certain min
ers for months past.
Now, considering the fact that this effort of
white men to preserve their claims from being
worked by Cinnamon, gave rise to the horrible
fright under which our officials have been suf.
fering for some time, and which even extended
itself to the chair of the Chief Executive-and
called forth insanely sounding efforts from such
men as Bolts, of the Sacramento Standard, and
Ridge, of the Marysvile Democrat considering
the fact that this particular effort of these men
gave rise to the monstrous falsehood that Chi
namen had been beaten and killed by them,-
and considering the fact that their trial and pun
ishment, if convicted, had caused the Sheriff to
prepare for war on the most extensive scale, is
it not wonderful that a jury-composed in part
OF men who are bitterly opposed to the Chinese
movement-should have thus promptly acquit-
ted the rioters" " violaters of the law, " de-
hers of the officers of the law insurrection-
lists, or what ever else they may be called?
The Red Bluff Beacon is informed that Justice
keene favored the prsoners-that the trial "was
conducted in most disorderly manner"-that
the speeches of the counsel for the defence
Messrs. Sprague and Baggs, were repeatedly
cheered with loud and boisterous hazzas" We
are authorised to pronounce these statements
maliciousy false. The Justice showed no favor
one way or the other, and no cheers or huzzas
were heard until at the conclusion of the trial.
