FIRE AT TEHAMA.
Loss 100000.

About II o'clock, P. NJ, on Thursday night
last, a fire broke out under the lower floor of
the Tehama FIGURING Mills, opposite Tehama,
and in less than two hours the entire structure.
with its contents, were destroyed.
The mills were built in 1854, four stories high.
with four run of stone, and were said to be the
finest water mills in the State and were of sniff
cient capacity to turn out FIVE hundred barrels
OF Hour every twenty-four hours.
The fire, when first discovered, was under the
platform or lower floor, on the east side of the
building. Could those who first arrived on the
ground have reached the fire underneath, the
building might have been saved.
About 3 900 bushels of wheat were consumed,
and about 500 sacks of -four and meal. The
principal portion of the -four having been stored
in warehouse adjoining, was saved.
The mills were owned by Messrs Knetzer &
Crosby, of Tehama, AMI were insured for only
$4,000, in the Etna Insurance Office

COURIER.
SATURDAY MORNING. MARCH 10, 1860.
A New Vol ame.

To-day we commence the Ninth Volume of the
COURIER For eight years we have, as its con-
ductors. endeavored to advance the interests Of
the county and State, and to amuse, instruct
and improve the public. That our efforts have
been appreciated is evidenced by the fact that
we enter upon our Ninth Volume in full and
vigorous health.
The COURIER is with one or two exceptions,
the oldest country paper in the State We pre-
sumo it is the oldest Democratic paper in Cali
fornia. 1t has never faltered in the support of
the Democracy Its editor has never bolted-
although men who have time and time again
boIted Democratic nominees, and some who are
now loud-mouthed Republicans, tried to make
IL appear, when we would not denounce the
great Douglas as Black Republican, that we
were opposing the Democracy. Some of this
sort of Democrats yet use this charge as stig-
ma upon our Democracy. However, if Douglas,
or one of his friends happens to be nominated
at Charleston-one of which events is certain
we presume the charge will be dropped as un-
tenable.

THE FIRST DoUGLAs MEETING IN CALIFoRNIA.
The very first Democratic meeting ever held
in California which urged the claims of Judge
Douglas for the Presidency, was held in the
town of Shasta in 1851 or 1852. 1t was presided
over by Judge Daingerfeld, and the resolutions
in favor of Douglas were offered by Vincent E.
Geiger. Now Geiger thinks Douglas is the last
choice of the California Democracy. Just think
offiit-tnne last one OF the million and half
or more Democrats in this Union, Douglas is
the least worthy in the estimation Of Geger -
What change in eight or nine years.
