EDITOR Butte RECORD =
Herewith send you few specimens
of silver ore from the Humboldt City country.
All is excitement here-our valley is nearly
depopulated. Nearly every man has left, or
is about leaving, for the Humboldt City mines.
Tomorrow Chas. Nixon and A. n. Sylvester
start, with lot of goods, groceries, liquors,
mining tools, etc.
l would advise all parties north Of Sacra-
mento City, who intend going to the Hum
bodt mines, to take the Oroville or Red Bluff
roads for Susanville, as those roads are the
most direct, shortest and best.
Humboldt City is on Humboldt River, one
hundred and forty miles due east from Susan
vile. These new mines, from what has already
been discovered, are supposed to equal, if not
surpass, the Washoe country, both in quality
and quantity New leads are being discovered
every day rich ores have also been discovered
this side of the Humboldt, in the Black Rock
country.
l would say to all those who come here
within the next four weeks, to bring along
with them plenty of eatables s-except flour-as
every thing else is very scarce here at present.
Thank you for your generous olfer-o blibe,
rather-that if we would not secede, but leave
Honey Lake Valley in California, you would
make us present of printing press, etc.
We would like to have the press, sure, but
would have to be pressed much harder than
your sheets, before we would throw off Nevada
Territory. Come, now, don't be selfish, but
say that you are glad that We have a new
Territory, and, to convince us that you are
really well pleased with our new organization,
just send along that press, or invite US over to
drink with you and take the type.
Yours truly,

has the following in relation to the produce
business
The past week has been devoid of any special
occurrences. Prices have not varied materi-
ally in any department since last mail. We
have to notice the charterlng of the following
ships to load breadstuffs for England: Romance
of the Sea, Talisman, Grace Darling and Spit
fire. The ship Golcouda has about completed
loading her cargo of grain for England. The
ship Syren for Boston is rapidly filing up with
an assorted cargo; while for New York we
have on the berth the Golden Eagle, Mary
Robinson Mary L. Sutton and Sierra Nevada
all of these vessels will carry considerable
barley, and some wheat. The ship Skyark
having sailed for New Y FORK, carries a full car
go of assorted merchandise consisting in part
cf S,647 sacks of barley 2,050 sacks of wheat,
1929 horns, $500 hides, 236 bales Of wool.
500 barrels of salmon etc.
In view of the recent ship charters made, it
may not be amiss for US to state that during
the past week a pretty thorough canvass has
been made here, with view to ascertain the
amount of flour and wheat yet remaining in
our city warehouses. The result approximates
very closely to $4,000 sacks of wheat. and the
bulk, in sacks, of 10000 barrels of -four

THE CRISIS HAS ARRIvED-Clvil war has
been inaugurated by Secession traitors The
blood of Americans, shed by fratrcida hards,
calls Jefferson Davis and his followers to a
reckoning. The Secession authorities, upon a
refusal by Major Anderson to surrender Fort
Sumpter into their hands, have taken the fort
by superior force. The flag of the Union is
displaced by the rattlesnake emblem of South
Carolina and her accomplices. Tired of wait
ing for hostile acts on the part Of the Admins
tration, the insane adherents of the Southern
Confederacy have themselves opened the war.
Where will it end p? Not in the humiliation
of the loyal citizens Of the United States The
hands that wantonly precipitated this country
into all the horrors of civil war can never SUBJ
due the friends of the American Union.
The article upon the subject Of civil war IN
another column, was written before the receipt
of the Pony news. Its tone need not be alter
ed. The true condition of things was, as it
were, felt by Union men every where before
this The destructives of the rebel States have
never wanted peace. They only sought to buy
the border States over to their cause by wait
ing for the Federal authorities to attempt their
subsection. Anti-coercion has been the bur-
den of their song. But peace regned too long
to please them. The thirst for blood could be
restrained no longer. War has been COM
menced against US by them, and it is stated
that formal declaration of war is to be made
by the Southern Conspirators' Congress. Now
how do men stand in California? There are
but two sides to this fight. Every man is
either for the Union or for the Southern Con
federacy.
We are a part of the great American Re
public. Who in our midst is an enemy to the
Government? Who will have the insolence
to proclaim himself traitor, by publicly de-
Tending the assaants of Fort Sumpter? If
any such there be in this vicinity. let the next
United States Grand Jury for the Northern
District of California be informed of the fact
The Federal laws including those against
treason. can be enforced here. Let this be
remembered.-Ma MarysuiHe Democrat.

JOIN R. RIDGE.-With last Sundays issue
of the National Democrat, of Marysville, we
received the valedictory of Mr.. Ridge, as editor
of that valuable paper, always true and staunch
to the country through all the controversies
preceding the present crisis. We part with
friend Ridge with unfeigned regret, and much
reluctance, for as an accomplished editor he
has few superiors, as true friend, and amiabe
gentleman, few equals as true and devoted
patriot, be stands in the front ranks ; and as
scholar and social companion he occupies a
conceded eminence He was a devotee to his
calling, and we hope the corps editorial will
not wholly lose him, and may there be in store
for him richer reward than he could reap
from the laborious calling he has just left, are
our earnest and sincere wishes. TO his sue
cesSor 10 the sanctum, we extend the hand Of
fellowship, and bid him God-speed in his glori-
Gus work. The tripod could not sustain a
better or truer successor than is to be found in

ANOTHER ROBBERY The Office and room
of Judge McRae was entered on Tuesday
evening last, late, by burglars, who gained en-
trance either by implements used for turning
keys in doors, or through the trarsom window
OF his sleeping-room. Chloroform was un-
doubtedly administered, from the feelings of
the Judge next morning. They succeeded in
getting his watch, which was a very valuable
one, although in plain gold case from under
his pillow, and seventy-ive dollars and half
in money 1t is time some of these robbers
were caught and dealt with by Judge Lynch
for we have no doubt but such will be the
programme if any of them are taken in the act.

Stephen A, Douglas.

Some of the secession organs appear to be
very anxious to know whether the friends OF
Mr. Douglas have deserted him? We believe
all will say most emphatically, No. and from
his present course, as indicated by the latest
news. we think they will not soon have any
cause These secessionists know that he is
great man, with power of intellect sufficient for
any crisis they can inaugurate in the Govern
ment or the country, and because he has the
selfsacrifce AMI moral courage to lay aside his
partisan political views, in an attempt to quel
rebellion, they think he has changed front, and
left those who know him best, as if fearful to
follow, but not so, they admire his efforts to
put down peaceaby, the garing treason that
stalks about through our country but feel at
the same time that his efforts are vain and will
be, for those very LADDERS Of him at present
would damn him tomorrow if be had to meet
them in the political arena. His political
opinions are not with the followers of Breckin-
ridge, the sympatbisers and excusers of TIE
secessionists.
To these anxious individuals we say, read
where he stands in this crisis, in the very news
published in your own columns, by last Pony.
And iu this connection we would suggest the
query, where stands the secession organ of this
County? How does it regard the Inaugural
tion of this horrifying, fratrcidal, civil war !?
Does it not still excuse the South and its trail
tors TO their country docs it not side with
them in this war begun by them? We ven-
ture an affirmative answer to these queries, and
do not deem it at all bold, for if it is not so,
that organ does not reflect the views of its
nominal editor nor its principal supporters.

BY his vaour. At the first inmaton that his native
