AN ExcHANGE.-When Gov. Weller arrived in
town on Monday, he discovered that he had ex-
changed carpet sacks with some "honest miner"
at Red Bluffs. The carpet sack which was in
his possession contained several grey shirts, and
several pairs of not overly clean socks, while the
carpet sack in possession of the miner contained
all of the Governors documents. Two years
ago, when the Governor was canvassing this
portion of the State, somewhat similar mishap
befel him. Then he left his carpet sack and
documents at Red Bluffs, and was compelled to
send man post-haste back for them, at an ex-
pense of half hundred dollars.

BoLTING EDITORS Mr.. Shannon editor of the
Calaveras Chronicle, recently refused to hoist the
full Democratic county ticket, because it con-
tanned some names to which he objected. In
consequence the outside pressure was so great
that he was compelled to withdraw from the pa
per, and Col Rust, formerly editor of the Marys-
vile Express, a veteran Democrat, was placed in
his stead. On assuming editorship, he said:
The only question we deemed it necessary
to ask, in reference to the nominations above
l1,,1o IL Al r
the nominating Convention. Having ascertain
ed that it was called regularity By the proper
authority, and that an its conduction the only strife
,cas betaoeen rival candidates, we were unable to
discover reason for refusing the ticket its ap-
propriate place in our journal Our duty as
democratic journalist seemed plain, and We
could not hesitate to perform it.
Having promised thus much, we tender to the
ticket and the entire ticket, such advocacy as
we shall be able to YIELD" &c.
We respectfully refer Mr. Street, who is yet
but novice in the business of conducting
Democratic organ, to the course which veteran
Democratic editor deems it his duty TO pursue
The recent Democratic County Convention "was
called regularly, by the proper authority" and
in it ss the only strife was between rival candi-
dates" True, unlike Mr.. Shannon, Mr.. Street
hoists the full ticket, but, unlike Col. Rust, he
virtually recommends Democrats to bolt such
portions oft as they do not like Now which
is right, Col Rust or Mr.. Street? We will per-
init the S. F. National to answer In speaking
Of Col. Rust, that paper says:
ave congratulate the genaine democracy of
Calayeras upon the presence of such q cham
pion of political truth in their midst, as Col.
Rust"

Navigating the Upper Sacramento.

During the week the steamer Anna, Captain
Trueworthy, with barge in tow, loaded with
forty town of freight, came up the river as far
as Patona. One of our citizens who was aboard,
D. Callaghan, Esq, informs US that she passed
through the dreaded Iron Canon with the great
est ease. Indeed through the first canon, dis
tance of some two miles, she made the trip in
fourteen minutes, or at the rate of eight miles an
hour, and did not receive scratch The barge
also passed through with perfect safety Indeed,
from Red Bluffs to Patona, the boat did not meet
snag or boulder orreceive the slightest scratch,
although she drew twenty inches Of water The
very worst obstacle in the whole route was met
at the turn of the river Immediately this side of
the Bluffs.
This last experiment is full of Importance 1t
was trial trip. 1t was believed that while
steamers might pass through the Iron Canon
with safety, barges could not be towed through
This experiment has proved the fallacy OF that
idea.
We therefore, in the name of the people of
Shasta, Trinity and Siskiyou, call upon the CAL
ifornia Steam Navigation Company to commence
navigating the upper Sacramento, to the highest
navigable point, which is the mouth of Middle
Greek, or thereabouts. That company must see
that it is to their interest to do so The freight
of flour, barley, oats, hay, and other produce
shipped to this place from the county of Colusa
alone averages at least fifteen tons per day du-
ring eight months in the year-to say nothing at
all of the immense amount of freight which the
companys boats now bring to the Bluffs, and
which, of course, they will then, at increased
rates, be permitted to carry all the way to the
permanent head of navigation. Let our mer-
chants enter into some sort of agreement with
the company, by which the great desideratum
will be attained. At present the regular rates
paid the company for bringing freight to the
Bluffs, is S25 per ton. Let our merchants agree
to give all their freight, for several years to
come, to the company at, say $50 per ton. This
would remunerate the company, and at the same
time save to the consumers SIS on each ton of
freight-the cost of bringing goods from the
Bluffs to Shasta being now $40 per ton.
