The PapaI &c RuII.v

SIR In one of your late papers you published
the Pope's accommodation of the King of Sar-
dinin, which think you must have have known
to be a forgery. Now in justice to the Catholics
Of this county you should publish the correct one
Respectfully yours,
A CATHOLIC.
The PAPAL BULL OF ExcoaMDNICATIoN.--We
took occasion few days ago to expose hoax
WHICH was practiced by some wag in Paris on the
Steele. in anticipation of the Papal Bull. eXcom-
municatng the King of Sardinia-namely, send
ing TO it the grotesque maledlction in |" IFisfrGm
Shandy" which DR.. Slop reads while tMy Uncle
Toby" whistles =" Liebullero." Some other Par
is papers, as well as many in this country fell in
to the trap, and republshed the Sieele's version,
unconscious of the deception. The Roman Cath
oic Bishop of Mobile has addressed to the TFi-
6une an indignant letter concerning the publica-
tion of this counterfeit bull. in which he gives
the following as literal translation of the gen
nnine formula of Major Ercommunication, as u.s.
ed by the Church, and found in the Roman Pom
tifcial:
Whereas, (the name Of the person aoho ercom.
naunicdtes.) have lawfully admonshed the first,
the second, third and fourth time, to be turned
from his malicious way, and desist from-(he
crime is here inserted } and whereas, he contempt
uously refused, or neglected, to fulfil or obey
this command and whereas, obedience Will ap-
pear to be of no avail to the humble if their
contempt produce no evil to the contumaceous
therefore, by the authority of the Almighty God,
Father, Son and Holy Ghost, and of the blessed
Apostles Peter and Paul, and of all saints, COM
PEELED by his contumacy, excommuncate him,
(in writing, if 1t be sori1ea,) and l denounce him
one TO be avoided, SO long as be shall not have
fulfilled that which is commanded, that bis spirit
may be saved in the day of judgment"
Entertaining the same respect for Catholics
that we do for any other religious denomination,
we pronounce the assertion of "a Catholic"
that we probably knew the accommodation pub
ished to be forgery, false. 1t matters little to
us what he thinks we published the ARTICLE in
good faith, but were led into error as numbers Of
other prints are shown to have been by the above
extract

TRINITY CENTER.-Some one cautioned US the
other day not to be surprised to hear that Trinity
Center and Minersville would give notice of in
tention to "qut" next winter, and form repub-
lie of thier own to be called the " North East
Corner.v We had heard that the county seat
would probably be moved to Digger Creek, but
we were not prepared for that. The alarm must
be false, for like Mr.. Solomon, in the Stranger"
we have received a letter from that isolated cor
ner, and "it don't say anything about it," The
fact is we shall never be on good terms With
Trinity Center until the wagon road is compile
ted. Then the folks up there will come to Wea-
verville to buy their tobacco and check shirts,
instead Of going to Shasta (or Yreka) as they do
now. But to the letter:
TRINITY CENTER, June 25, 1860.
EDITOR JoURNAL You have published no in
telligence from this place for long time, and
our pretty village songstress has ceased her war:
bling entirely. positively shouldn't take the
liberty to write you now, if it was not to an
nounce the return of that good citizen and hon
est man, Fred. B. Smonds. He has come back
to the home of his choice, bringing with him a
life companion and another lady, who intends to
locate permanently, satisfied that there is no
place like California. Society here is improving

will soon number as many females as males

doing well. The crops beFeabouts look finely,

DANGEROUS LIyING.-We hear of funny affair
which happened at Hay Fork, last Tuesday, and
which came near terminating seriously. A man
named Rogers lives with squaw, some say con-
trary to her will. On Tuesday morning while
attending to his cattle, and she preparing break.

ing anything. BY some means, though, an ounce
phial of strychnine was emptied into the dish
con ntaining the meat. Rogers and the squaw, on

ing his breakfast Rogers was taken terribly SICK
and vomited up what be had eaten, which hog
Immediately devoured, and died in ten minutes
Rogers took two pounds of butter and bottle of
mustard, as antidote, which probably saved bis
life. He is said to have been frigbtful sight
swollen entirely out of shape. He is believed
to be out of danger, and is ten times more affec
ti0nate than ever. An examination was had by
the citizens, who decided the poisoning was done
by the squaw and Indians, to which Rogers de-
murred on the part of the squaw. The scene
closed by one of the neighbors moving that she be
released and furnished with two bottles of strych-
nine, with instructions to administer in smaller
quantities hereafter.

THE SHASTA CELEBRATIoN.-Some twenty five
citizens Of this county attended the Masonic cell
ebration and ball at Shasta on Monday last.
Those with whom we have conversed pronounce
it happy affair, throughout, and speak highly
of the efforts Of Shastans to entertain guests
from abroad. Our friend Stuart, who is believed
TO be capital judge of properly compounded

THE NEW RIVER NINEs.-We seldom get any
certain intelligence relating to the mines of that
remote section of the county, although frequently
informed that some of the claims pay sufficiently
well to induce miners to remain there the year
round. New river has been but little explored
1t heads in the rugged chain of mountains sepa-
rating Trinity and klamath counties, and within
a year good diggings have been discovered along
several streams heading in the same locality. II
there are good mines at the head waters of New
river, they must be worked in summer, the win
ters being so severe, and the snow falling so
deep in that section that We presume no one
could be induced to winter there. A friend
writes the following account of mining on New
river, UNDER date June 22d
About fifty miners are working on New river,
now, most Of them doing well. New discoveries
are being all the while made in the high benches,
WHICH until this season were never prospected.
Noble & Co. have opened diggings which pay So
and $40 day Geo. Coffin q Co. are making IS
to 81 in bench fifty feet above the bed of the
river. Several other companies are drifting in
the BENCHES, and making S4 and SIS day. Dyer
& Co. have struck new diggings on stream
called Pony Creek, which has caused much ex-
citement. Two companies have been making
SIS and $40 day on it for the past fortnight.
1t empties into New river twenty-five miles from
the mouth. Most of the miners now on the river
have fair prospects to realize good wages during
the summer-better at all events than ever be-
fore. Any man who will work seven hours a day
here can make fair wages. The river is always
low enough to work the bed from July to Octo-
ber Send down some of your idle men we
have an extensive mining section, most of which
is unprospected MINER.

SUSPICIoUs.-Ho Holmes of the Mariposa GQzeue,
was seen to pass through Columbia, on his way
to the Calaveras big trees, week Or two ago, in
charge of two or three ladies. If those ladies
have lords Or parients, they had better be looked
after, as Holmes is powerful fascinating in his
way. Meanwhile the junior of the Gazette an
nounces the arrival of large quantities Of elegant
fxin's, which inclines him to suspect that the
absent one intends appropriating live female
and her appurtenances. Rather suspicious.

SEND PAPER TO THE SrATEs.-The Sierra
Democrat says; "A plenty of good fellows in
California who write often to their friends and
think the world of them send papers only once
in long while. That is thou ghtlessness. A
paper subscribed for and mailed at the Office of
publication, is valued present to the people in
the States. 1t goes with regularity and without
any after trouble to the subscriber, who pays the
small sum Of five dollars. They somehow have
fancy that California papers are better
readable than the old home sheets. Reader, do
you send paper home If you do not, give us
the address of your best friend, pay five dollars,
and the paper goes for year. How else can
you get as much for five dollars ?"

AN INTENSELY PATRIOTIC CoMMUNITY.-Our
citizens must either have forgotten that next
Wednesday is Independence Day, or else their
patriotism is on the wane In other portions of
the State preparations are being made to remem-
ber the day that gave us independence liberty
from the oppressors' yoke, while our citizens
propose TO let the day pass without any demon
stratior. We think that no community in free
America should allow the 4th day of July to
pass without proper Observance Recollection Of
The patriotism Of our forefathers in " the times
chat tried mems SOULS" should stimulate all to
due observance of the day. We are now enjoy
ing the fruits and privileges of their suferngs and
bravery, and patriotism demands that we should
not permit The day to pass without offering up a
tribute of respect in memory OF those who fought
and bled that we might be free.
If there is NOT sufficient patriotism remaining
with those upon whom the proper celebration of
the day devolves, we hope the youngsters will
not forget when 4th of July comes. Get out
your mimic guns and strips of bunting, boys
and invest your last two bits in Chinese crackers
Let's have racket, if nothing more.

NEY YORK, Nov. 5, 1854.


To THE Hon. WM. II. SEwARD-Sir: desire
to say to you that the firm of Seward, Weed &
Greeley is from this day dissolved, by the with
drawal OF the junior member of the firm. When
| edited the JeferS0niqa, at Albany, you and
your friends acknowledged the effect Of my labor
in your cause, in elevating you to the Office of
Governor and United States Senator. For my
labor in sustaining you l only received ten
dollars weeh TO support my wife, self and child.
when you were Governor of this State, with
great patronage in your hands, no offer of any
poruon to assist me was ever made. When
General Harrison was elected President, you
had iull control of the Federal patronage in this
state, and ! received no consideration at your
hands. When General Taylor was elected
PRESIDENT, you also had the principal distribution
OF tDe Federal patronage, and in connection with
Mr.. Weed you made Hugh Maxwell Collector of
thls port, man who was never entitled to the
confidence OF the Whig party. Instead of re-
wardlng men who had faithfully adhered to
henry Clay and to you, such men as Zebedee
King, an outcast from Nova Scotia, was ap-
pointed Surveyor Of the port; David A. Bokee
was made Naval Officer ; William V. Brady,
Postmaster William H. Leroy, Navy Agent /;
Hiram Fuller, Naval StOrekeeper ; John Young,
Snb-Ireasurer and man selected for United
States Marshal, whom you know | cannot name.
AND yet, while you knew ! had lost every
dollar possessed in starting the Galway line Of
steam packets to benefit Ireland and YOURSELF no
offer was made me of assistance or place. Sab
sequently it was understood by my friends that
should be the candidate of our party for Govern
or, and your consent was given but instead of
supporting me, you and your friends nominated
that trimmer and little villain, Raymond, for
Lieutenant Governor, who was of no advantage
to our party, and man whom to know is to de-
test. In all the positions have abored to place
you, the emOluments and the honors have been
divided between yourself and Weed. | have now
to say that any support you may hereafter receive
from me will be because it is necessary for the
party, but not from personal consideration.
Yours, etc.,
