SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH II, 1860.
Destructive Fire.

On Saturday evening last, between eight and
nine o'clock, the terrible cry of fire startled our
people The fire is supposed to have caught in
the rear of the Miners Inn or Hughson's Tin
Shop, and when discovered had made consider
able progress. At first efforts were made to ex-
tinguish the flames, but that was soon found 10
be impossible. Then the citizens turned their
whole attention to the preservation of furniture.
clothing, &c. We are glad to know that the
greater portfon of this sort of property was
saved from every house except the Miners Inn
and the French Hotel. Nearly every article of
furniture in>the former, as well as all the cloth
ing of Mr.. Leschinsky and wife, was consumed
Much of the furniture, bedding, &c, of the lat
ter building was also consumed.
1t was with the greatest exertion that the
Eagle Hotel was saved. Had that caught the
entire lower part of the town would have been
consumed. The buildings above the Excelsior
Hall were saved from burning also by the hard
est fighting. Had they caught, the north side
of the street would have been swept clean to
Loag's brick block. We have never seen men
work harder than did many of our citizens on
this occasion.
The following is list of the losses:
Elliott, CIough L Tozer, wagon mandatory
two houses, stock, &c.-$3, 600.
VIM E. Hughson, TN shop, house, &c.-SsO0.
Happy Jack, building-livery stable-Sl 500.

Shall shasta County Have Court House.

We have before suggested the economy of
buying or erecting suitable building for
Court House and Jail. We believe building
with Jail in the basement, and the upper part
laid off into one large Court Room, and half a
dozen side rooms for county officials, could be
procured for $50 Ooo, or less. The interest on
this sum at ten per cent. per annum amounts to
much less than the amount which the county is
now paying for office rent and for keeping the
County Jail. If this is so-and we challenge a
denial of its truth-then it is clearly to the in
terests of the taxpayers of the county to have a
building suitable for a Court House and Jail and
for offices for county officials built.
We mention this matter now, tor the purpose
of setting our citizens to talking upon the sub
ject. We believe when they come to know that
the county will save money every year by erect
ing such building that they will unanimously
favor it. Furnish the Sheriff with secure
Jail, give him room in the front part of it
restore to the Sheriff office the duty Of collect
ing Foreign Miners Licenses-and be will not
object, be he whom he may, to the repeal of the
law which now authorizes the Board of Super
visors to pay him S. per day for keeping the
County Jail Here, it will be Observed is saw
ing of over eighteen hundred dollars at one lick.
To this add the rent for offices, and other ex-
penses resulting from our not owning suitable
county buildings, and we have a sum reaching
at least $4,000. Now this is about $500 per
year more than the interest upon a sufficient
sum of money to build Court House and Jail,
such as we need

The PoPE.-The chances of foreign support in
aid of the Pope do not seem very bright. Aus
tria is well occupied with Magyar discontents
and Venetian outcries She has very little means
Of succor to share for the Pope. She is under
bonds to Napoleon. Portugal could do nothing
any way, with all her dislike to Napoleon and
does not manifest any keen sense of the Pope's
trbulations. From the side of the large powers,
there is nothing to indicate the least intention
to move in the only way which can help the
Pope. There is no encouragement to such a
movement on the part of the continental mag
mates in the further tightening of the cords
which unite France to England.

4 A COUPLE OF INDUSTRIOUS LIEs.-A while ago
it was published among the overland news, that
the vote of Winter Davis, member of Congress
from Baltimore, for Pennington, had been ap-
proved by the Legislature of Maryland; and
shat the Governor of that State had sent his
Secretary of State to Washington to congratulate
Pennington upon his election. Both of these
statements are monstrous falsehoods. Gov.
Hicks sent his Secretary on no such FOOLS errand,
and the resolutions, denouncing Winter Davis
for voting for Republican Speaker, were pass
American party, of which Davis is a member,
approving them.

Abolitionists and Negroes.

Of all the men in the world the slaves of the
Southern States despise and abhor and Aboli-
zionist the most Indeed, for one to pronounce
another liar or thief is not deemed half so
insulting as is the appellation of a" Abolition
nigger.D That is a term that will arouse any
of them into a fighting mood There is good
reason for this. The negroes have learned the
fact that Abclitionists are their deadliest enc
mies-that they have no love for them, but
simply desire to use them for their own base and
selfish purposes. The negroes know that the
action of Aboitionists increases their hardships,
and causes their masters to restrict them in their
privileges. They have learned by bitter expe-
rience, that whenever the Abolitionists rave the
loudest, the bonds of the slaves are drawn the
tightest. Hence it is natural that of all men the
Abolitionist should be most hated by the negro
slave. And not only by the slave, but by the
free negro in the South. Until the John Brown
rail the free negroes in the South we're compar-
atively happy Many of them were wealthy,
and if they had desired, could have removed at
any time into the free States with their wealth.
They, however, preferred remaining in the homes
Of their fathers. But since the Harper's Ferry
affair they have been expelled from several of
the Southern States Many of the wealthy from
Louisiana have gone to. Hayt rather than risk
their property among hypocrites in the free
States, who, under pretence of being their
friends, would rob them. Others, however have
been compelled to turn their steps northward.
These hare published appeal to the Chris
tian world. They say Indiana shuts her doors
upol them; Illinois denies prairie homes to
them; Oregon will not receive them, and Min
nesota is debating whether or not she shall ad-
nit them. They complain of being forced into
a cold climate suddenly from warm one"-and
they will be lucky, indeed, if they do not find
their Abolition friends possessed of hearts cold
er than the climate which they so much dread.

BSI5@ AT last dates arrangement was about
being consummated, by which the Vanderbilt
boats on this side were to be purchased by the
Pacific Nail Co., and the two lines consolidated
the Vanderbilt and Roberts steamers to do
the Atlantic service and the Pacific Nail Co.'S
steamers to do the Pacific service. This will
effectually kill all future opposition. OF course
this is bad news for California. Rates of fare

SIERRA SCHOOL DISTRICT No. 7-G. K. God
frey, Superintendent of Public Schools, has fur
nshed copy of report of the condition of this
school, accompanied by some very appropriate
remarks touching schools, teachers, &C., in gem
eral. The fact that they have nearly all been
embodied in two or three previous reports from
the same source, and published in the Courier,
is our apology for emitting them here. We quote
the Superintendent's report proper, as follows
Mr.. John Alexander, teacher. Number of
children in the district, So
This school was commenced Nov. IA, and was
kept in session four months.
Number of children in attendance, o.; some
less than six-nnths E! j of the whole school
district census.
Sierra district is without school house, and
no measures have been taken to secure a build
ing for school purposes.
The trustees design erecting school house
at Shingletown this coming spring.
This school was taught at the residence of G..
W. McCumber. The children in this district
being so scattered, is the reason o. no larger
attendance. Mr.. Alexander exhibits a good de-
gree of capability teacher in education, in
talent for teaching and kindness of disposition.

KASsAs-The Republicans will insist upon
the admission of Kansas with the Wyandotte
Constitution. As the population, estimated
by the assessors, only reaches 10000, and the
English Bill which the citizens accepted and
endorsed, requires the Territory, previous to ad-
mission, to have population sufficient to en-
title it to member of Congress, to wit: over
5000, the chances are that Kansas will not be
made State this year.
