letter from New River.

P0NY CREEK, May 80, 1861.
Rattesnake to this place is about completed, and
all who have passed over it speak in the most
favorable terms of the road and route. George
Hudson, our enterprising and attentive express
man, lately made the trip from Weavervile to
Pony Creek in twelve hours. 1t makes great
difference TO people bere as by the old route the
trip occupied three days. The Sacramento Union
was delivered on Eagle Creek, eight miles beyond
this place, in JGffy hours from the time IL left
Sacramento.
Times are getting lively. We have two stores,
one saloon, and two more under way. In q few
weeks more we shall have quite "a town here. A
new hotel has just been opened by Patterson &
Marriott, which in point Of accommodation is
equal to the demand.
Most of the miners are doing well. Deasey *
Co--two men-toOk out $3.50 last week. The
unearthing OF six ounce pieces has got to be a
very common thing here. Duncan * Co. get S5
TO Sc day, to the man Flowers Co., So to
SO Titus x Co., SIG to $40. Jas. Carroll IL
Co have found good prospects-$8 to $40 day
in the bank of the creek.
Every day we hear of new discoveries on Eagle
Creek. At present, about sixty men are working,
and more are going daily. A friend who has
Just arrived from there showed me one half ounce,
which he took from three pans of dirt while pros
pecting. Mr.. J. N. Reid, most accommodating
gentleman and clever fellow, has opened Il store
from which the miners will be supplied this sum
mer
shall write again. LITTLE George.

WISE AND WITTY THINGs.-The following batch
Of clever sayings are clipped from the last Louis
vile Journal:
The Virginia disunionists have planted their
cannon upon the banks of the Potomac in the
immediate neigbborhood of Mount Vernon. We
should suppose, that, at the sound of those guns,
the awful ghost of Washington would stalk forth
and blast the disloyal troops as the angel OF death
blasted the hosts of Sennacherib.
IT is said that man in Virginia has given JEFF
Davis a 500, 600 check Gen. Scott may give
him bigger "check" than that.
A COPY of the Journal has been returned to us
in an envelop, upon the outside of which is writ
ten an insOlent note, signed by H. L. Turner, o
doctor it seems, who asks us to stop sending the
Journal TO him. II he will iufOrm us where his
copy of the Journal is sent, we may comply
with his wishes, but the man doesn't appear to
have sense enough to know, that without such
information, we might have to spend nearly a
whole day in hunting out bis name among many
thousands of others. We pity bis patients for
we very much doubt whether he has intelligence
enough to know at which end of man to ad-
minister his pills, aud at which his clysters.
We now see the first results of secession
BANKRUPTCY, ruin, want, hunger. These are but
the beginning. Next in order will come burning
houses sacked cities, and fields and streets wet
and red with blood of human victims.
THERE is terrible war feeling throughout the
whole country, Even the newborn Infants are
all in arms.
PRESIDENT LINCOLN Issued bis proclamation,
ordering the Southern combinations against the
Government to disperse in twenty days. We
have been constantly expecting President Davis
to reply with proclamation ordering the ad-
minstration to disperse in twenty minutes.
We have at present no stripes floating over
our Office, but the stars, thank God, are over it
every night-lookiDg down upon it and brighten
ing it and blessing it.

Organization of the -. Patrick socie'y'

On the second day of this month the st. Pat
rick Benevolent Society Of Trinity county com
pleted its organization by the election of the
following officers for the ensuing six months
President, James Morris Vice President, Mi
chael Hart Secretary, Joseph McMahon; Cor
responding Secretary, Peter Murphy Treasurer
Jno. McGinnis; Trustees, Dennis Leary VIM.
Mooney, JAS Murphy; Finance Committee Jno'
Murphy, Thos Slattcry, Jas Mcclure; Commit
tee on Membership, Martin Fennell, Jas. Cochran,
S. Carrigan.
The best evidence that can be offered of bow
much the want of such an organization has been
felt, is the roll book Of the Society, which exhib-
its list of thirty members, although it is no
more than two months since the conception of the
idea to organize. And the sentiments which ac-
tuate the members may be inferred from the fact
that on last Sunday, when Jas. O'Connor, Esq,
President, pro teaa., announced his intention OF
leaving here shortly, and his consequent inability
to perform the duties of President any longer, ii
was with the utmost difficulty that persons could
be prevailed upon to submit their names to the
meeting for the purpose of election to that or any
other Of The offices.
The advantages which a membership in this
society secures are, in part-attendance during
sickness, an allowance of ten dollars per week.
while sick, and the payment of burial expenses
in case Of death. Such society cannot fail tC
prove extremely beneficial in a community like
this, where serious accidents are Of such frequent
occurrence, and the feelings of the charitable
portion of our citizens are continually harrassed
by the appeals made TO them for relief; and
while the advantages are so very considerable
the cost of membership cannot be considered 9th
erwise than tiitiing. the initiation fee being only
five dollars, and monthly fee one dollar-certain
ly not enough to prevent any Irishman in the
county, who possesses good character, from

REV. T. STARR KNG.-This eloquent and dis
tnguishcd gentleman lecturcd at the new Thea
ter last Saturday evening. Subject" Washing
ton and Our Country" The attendance was
quite large, and marked for intelligence.
Mr.. King opened his discourse with the memo
rable words of the God-like Daniel, in the follow
ing sentence Daniel Webster said that amid
the difficulties and dangers that surround our
country we find consolation in referring to the
life and character of Washington" The subject
was one of the most appropriate that could be Sc
lected for the occasion, and every listener ac-
knowledged that Mr. King did it fan Justice, and
at the same time sustained his high reputation as
a man of profound thought, eloquence aud logic
As composition, the lecture will rank with
the most mastery productions of that class, and
the manner of its delivery was magnificent The
time occupied by the lecturer was about two
hours, and from the beginning to the end the au-
dence seemed wrapt in the discourse and the
style of the speaker There Is a volume and ro-
tundity in the manner Of The orator, which com
bines the highest grace and expansive power OF
elocution. All who heard Mr.. King must have
been struck with the accuracy and aptness Of his
illustrations, and the remarkable parallels drawn
by the Rev. gentleman between the earlier com
motions and reasonable rebellion in our coun-
try, and the rebellion and treason at present be-
ing carried on by Southern secessonists.
The sermon preached on Sunday by Mr.. King
was equal in point Of perspicuity Of thought and
dctlon to bis lecture the night previous We
trust the people of Weaverville may soon again
have opportunity to hear this eloquent divine.
