T" Misrepresented.,

The Shasta Courier. with more brass than pru-
dence, takes us to task because we said Cox
Stevenson was not carrying out the wishes of
the people OF Tehama County when he gave no.
tice of bill to abolish the office of Adutant
General. Now if the Courier will attend to the
wants of Shasta County, and the member from
there, he will oblige u.s. aad we will try and
steer our own ship without his advice and give
our members, from time to time, our opinion of
the wants of the people of this county.-Beacon
Our neighbor is not the first editor who has
gotten the idea into his head that he was the
people of his county. 1t is a mistake that usu-
ally, as in this case, makes the victim of the
halucnation appear to disadvantage. We
doubt whether the people of Tehama county
wish to retain an unnecessary office simply be-
cause the incumbent thereof performed the du-
ties thereof satisfactorily. There is no sense in
such reasoning. The Secretary of State can
easily perform all the duties of Adjutant Gen.
eral, we think, and have thought and said for
several years. We have nothing against Gen
Kibbe. We esteem him as highly, perhaps as
the Beacon. But we think his Office is a useless
thing.
As to giving the Beacon advice, we meant no.
thing of the kind. We know the editor too well
for that. Nothing gives a man, big in his own
conceit," mortal offense so soon as advice-for
that implies, don't you observe, that such per-
son don't know it all''-and the "seven wise
men," concentrated into one, would be fool to
the editor of the Beacon-in his own estima-
ton. Nevertheless, he must get rid of the idea
that our friendship or editorial privileges are
circumscribed by county lines We are perhaps a
better friend to Col Stevenson than is the Bea-
con, and the editor can be assured, that We can
and will apply the pen-lash to his back every time
he attempts it unjustly upon the back of any man
we call friend. We may not possess SO much
ability as the editor of the Beacon thinks he
possesses, but we will make up for this def
cheney in earnestness.

"STRAws SHOW" &c.-The Washington Con-
sttutton has become more conciliatory in its tone
towards Douglas, which some think indicates an
early reconciliation between Douglas and the
Administration. Itrecently spoke thus
The friends OF Senator Douglas refuse to dis
grace themselves by becoming parties to the in
famous compact by which an apostate seeks to
be rewarded for his treachery The whole
Democratic delegation from Illinois, and Mr..
Montgomery, of Pennsylvania have voted in line
for Mr.. Bocock, and are true to their allegiance
They will not compromise their own character,
nor the standing of their chief by touching the
enemy or by countenancing the traitors who
have gone over to their camp.

THIS is simply the fermented juice, and dis
i titled juice of the California Grape judci-
ously medicated With Peruvian Bark, Turkey
Rhubarb, Juniper Berries, and other remedial
agents, skillfully combined, and in such minute
and exact quantities as to constitute small,
or Homeopathic, dose of each remedy, which,
when combined, form an innocent, harmless, yet
Active Tonic, Alternative, Anti i-Dyspeptic, Diu-
retic, Antifebre and Sedatiye Beverage, plea
SAINT to the taste.
The inventor, in calling the attention of the
public especially Californians, who know the
excellence of the California Grape) to these pre-
parations, does so with feelings of pride and
confidence; pride in proving the excellence OF
our native grape, and confidence in their RENE
dial virtues adapted for the following diseases
Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Loss of Appetite, Habit
ual Constipation, Acidity of, or Sour Stomach,
Disease of the Kidneys, Gravel Disorders of the
Urinary Organs, Remittent and Intermittent
Fevers, Fever and Aqua, Chils, Nervousness,
Weakness, Debility, Dryness of the Skin, or
want of perspiration, Pains in the Stomach or
Bowels, Collie, Dysentery, &c.
The Proprietor does not pretend that his
Medicated California Wine and Brandy is
"wonder or a miracle" in medical science, but
appeals to the common sense of the public, and
he does not hesitate to ayow that he knows from
experience, that the medicine in this, though
small in quantity, will often effecta cure in some
of the diseases enumerated, when more violent
and powerful remedies have failed in their OBJ
ject.
E1y- Those drinking liquor early in the NOR
ming, or before breakfast, would find the brandy
act delightfully."- upon the nerves and stomach,
keeping the bowels regular, &c.
As a general beverage it is pleasant TO the
taste, slightly exhilerating, perfectly harmless,
and gives the weak and feeble feeling of health
and strength.

Mr.. WHITES BILL.-If any one supposes the
bill introduced by Mr.. White in the Assembly,
is intended to give the Chinese additional privi-
leges, they are mistaken. The acts heretofore
passed for the purpose of imposing taxes upon
foreigners and encouraging the Chinese to
leave, are entitled Acts to Provide for the pro-
lection of foreigners" &C., or words of similar
import. Mr.. White of course will offer no bill
which would tend to encourage the Chinese to
remain with us. We imagine, however, that
few persons have drawn erroneous conclusions
from our allusion, in our last weeks paper, to
the title of his BILL

The Pit River w ar.

We think it has, for several months past, been
a foregone conclusion with certain newspapers,
to oppose an appropriation for defraying the ex-
penses of the Pit River War expedition. The
course of the Sacramento Union especially has
thus impressed our mind. Unless we are wholly
in the dark upon the matter-and perhaps we
are-it bas steadily exhibited desire to exag-
crate the expenses of the expedition, and to de-
preciate, in the public mind the extent OF the
evils which called it into existence, and the
salutary results accomplished by its labors
On Tuesday last it made the statement that
the bills to be rendered for expenses incurred by
this expedition will exceed $500, 900, and may
reach quarter of million. This may be SO,
bat as yet we do not believe one word of it.
But suppose the statement proves true, what OF
it? Would the Union have the State of Califor-
mia stop and count the cost before she entered
upon a war with savages who were daily shoot
ing her citizens, running off their stock, destroy
i5g their crops, and burning their houses, and,
in some instances, their wives and little ones
These are the evils which called the Pit River
expedition into existence. No one knows this
fact better than the Union. Therefore, even If
tie expenses OF the expedition do amount to the
sum of quarter of a million, the State Is in
honor bound to pay them.
We are satisfied from our knowledge of Gen.
Kibbe-from the rigid economy which has char
acterized his proceedings in conducting other
expeditions against the lndians-that he Will
not swindle the State. Let the Legislature
carefully scrutinze the bills arising out OF this
expedition. Let them be cut down when deem
ed excessive. But let this action be taken speed
ily-aud then, when the proper figures are set
tied upon let the claimants be paid promptly
Nearly the whole expenses of the expedition
were borne by Messrs, Doll, Cosby, W W. Smith
and other citizens of Tehama and Shasta coun-
ties Justice demands that these persons shall be
speedily remunerated-not for their patriotism
in nobly coming to the assistance of the State
and the people, but for the money absolutely ex-
pended by them.
In viewing this question, we beg the Onion,
and such Legislators as think with it, to exam
inc it from our standpoint Suppose thous-
and savages were to commence Staying, and de-
stroying the property of the citizens Of portion
OF Sacramento county, would not that paper
expect Gov. Downey to organize an expedition
to chastse them and protect the lives and pro-
perty of the citizens Undoubtedly. And would
it not then deem it absolutely dishonest, or, at
least, exceedingly unpatriotic on the part of the
Shasta Legislator to oppose the payment by the
State of the necessary expenses of such expe-
dition?
p S. The Union of the 18th, received last
night, is informed, probably by Gen. Kibbe him
self, that the Pit River expedition did not cost
more than $4,000. Quite difference that
from S250,OO0.

THE TEsT.-Under the Telegraph head will be
found the test adopted by the regular Demo-
cratic State Central Committee. As will be
seen the Committee refused to form an alliance
with the Committee of the irregulars We pre-
sumo they will now see how powerless they have
rendered themselves to be heard in the National
Convention. The test is very singular one,
not to say absurd. Under it, if man voted for
six of our candidates at the last election, he
not vote in our primary meetings. If, however
he voted for seven of them, he is 90 Simon
Pure" Democrat. Here is a distinction without
q difference. Wise men, that Committee They

4 SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLAR CHUNK.-0n Fri
day last, two Frenchmen, Lacour Co., found n
piece of solid gold at Centreville, weighing 49,
ounces, and worth over seven hundred dollars
The largest Jumps of gold ever found in this
county, with one exception, were discovered in
the Middletown and Centreyille region. These
diggings are quite shallow-scarcely ever reach
iug more than six feet in depth-the greater
portion being not half that depth Some of the
largest pieces of gold found in them were in
claims where the bed rock was scarcely foot
beneath the surface.

rible discovery. They say he has ruined him
SELF Ruined" himself by accepting an cleo
to the United States Senate Good Lord, what
host of men there are who would like to be
ruined" in the same mannerl The editor OF
the Placer Herdld, among others who have
given given expression to fears that Latham has
mortally hurt himself by dolfing the cloak CUB
ernatorial and donning the Senatorial toga,-
thus, in one short paragraph, gives expression to
prophecy and commisseraton:
Mr.. Latham has committed a great error ;
one that will be fruitful in trouble to him in his
future political career, or else we mistake hu-
man nature"
If we could really believe that these gentle
men had any sort of kindly feeling for the sue
cess of Mr.. Latham in 81 his future political ca
reer, we might not laugh. Being satisfied, how
ever, that they wish the ID had Latham and
his future political career" we must be ex-
cused if we laugh little. Ha, ha, hah Poor

and yet happy Latham-unhappy in his ruin,
