\ ours most respectfully,

1t will be observed that Mr. Sterling very
frankly acknowledges the truth of every allega-
ton contained in the paragraph quoted. He
pleads guilty to the charge of having headed
party of miners ''who drove, and in driving
whipped some Cinnamon worse than any had
ever been whipped before in this county" He
frankly acknowledges that he then thought it
right so to do, but now thinks it wrong
He then becomes indignant, and asserts that
if any one makes a charge that no one has ever
made against him, to wit if any one charges
him with having " laid the weight of his hand
upon Chnaman in anger" he asserts an aune-
quiyocal lie." Poh, poh, Mr.. Sterling, this is
endeavoring to dodge the question, notwith-
standing in subsequent paragraph you express
desire =" not to dodge single issue" No one,
at least our informant has not charged you with
having laid the weight of your hand upon a
Chinaman, in anger" or otherwise. He only in
formed US, and we SO stated, that you, some
months ago, helped to run Chiramen out of
certain localities" and sled party that "whip-
ped them worse than any Cinnamon were ever
whipped IN this county before'-all OF which
you confess. We cannot perceive Mr.. Sterling's
object in pleading guilty to charges contained in
our paragraph, and denying charges that no one
has ever made against him.
In conclusion we submit that, inasmuch as
Mr. s. has changed his views on this question,
he should exercise little more charity toward
those who adhere to their original opinions, than
he exhibited in his communication in the last
Republican, dated at Townsends Flat. The in
tilnaton therein, that " the miners cabins in
habited by natiye-born American miners" are
e reeking with the noxious odors of an aborigi-
nal concubinage," we cannot but think does
great injustice to hundreds of men who are in
habiting miners cabins, besides being wholly
foreign to the subject in hand.

Whipping Chinese.

In our article of last week upon the Chinese
question occurs the following language:
We are informed that the very gentleman who,
the Convention, spoke so feeingly of the
oor suffering, non-combatant Chinaman, and
the inhumanity of treating them so cruelty as
b force them out of the mines, has helped to run
Fhinamen out of certain localities. We are in
.ormed by a man who was with him that, only
Pne year ago, he led party Of between twenty
fnd thirty men to where a number of Cinnamon
we're working on forbidden ground, somewhere
pack of the Four Mile House, and that they
whipped them worse than any Cinnamon were
ever whipped in this county before.

ing letter has been addressed US:

Roads.

The roads leading out of this place are in a
horrible condition. We trust the new Road Su-
pervisors will demonstrate the truthfulness of
the old saw that " A new broom sweeps clean'
1t is the duty of all of US to mend our ways, and
especially is it incumbent upon the Road Over
seers to mend the highways
What say the citizens of Shasta to the project
of building turnpike road from Horsetown
around Shasta to Whiskytown? Will they per-
NIT this without making some sort of effort to
counteract the injury which such road will
nflict upon our town? Will they not make
such road over the Divide as will forever keep
the travel through this place? Let them see to
it. Be assured that this is no light matter. This
is fast age, and if our citizens go to Sleep they
viii find that the wide-awake folks have taken
advantage of it. The roads between this place
and Yreka and Wcaverville must be improved
or Shasta will lose all the benefit which she now
enjoys from the travel through the town.
DIVIDING THE SrArE.-Propostion for divid-
ing the State come from both ends thereof. We
observe by the last Yreka Union bill, to be in
troduced into the Assembly, for cutting off the
Northern portion and uniting it with portion
of Oregon From the South comes the propo-
siton of Senator Pico, providing for the organi-
cation of San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara Los
Angeles, San Diego and San Bernardino into
Territory. The S. F. Herald opposes the latter
proposition for the reason that many of the ma
tive Californians are very black now, and if they
are brought in social connection with negroes
they will unite, and all of them become negroes !
Horrible We are opposed the Northern divis-
ion for the reason that, if Northern Californians
ARE brought in social connection with Orego-
mans, they will probably amalgamate and all
become Oregonisns A consummation awful
to contemplate

A BACHELORS WOES

What painful thing an old bachelor is,
with his chccrIcss house and rueful phiz. on
b'tter cold night, when the fierce winds
blow, and tho earth is covered will, q foot
OF snow. When the fire is out and in
sh'ver"g dread he slips meath the sheets
OF his lonely bed how lie draws NJ his
toes' st'l' encased in yarn hose, and burrics
his nose meath the chilly bed clothes, that
his nose and his toes, still encased in yarn
hose' may not be frozc. Then he pufrs and
blows, and sweafs that he knows no NOR
tai on earth ever suffered such woes. and
with abs and oli's and with limbs nearly
froze, to his slumber in silence he goes. In
the morn when the coch crows. and the
sun just rose, from meath the bed clothes
pokes the bachelors nose, and as you NAV
suppose he hears the wind blows, and he
sees the window all froze, why back meath
the clothes pops the poor fellows nose, for
if from the bed ho rose, to put on his
clothes, he'd surely froze.

Never hear thy winning voice again
When the spring time comes, gentle Annie,
When the wild flowers are scattered Ger the

We have roamcd and loved mil tlc bowcrs,
When thy d"wny checks were i'll their bloom,
Now stand alone mid the flowers
While they minglc their perfumes DER thy tomb.
FnoRrs.-Shall we never more. &c.

Near the silent spot where thou art laid:
And my heart bows down when wander
by the streams AMI the meadows where we
straycd.
