Vengeance.

After the capture of Port Royal and Beau
fort by the Federal feet, the demoniac spirit
of revenge seized upon the traitors at Charles
ton, and they threw to the breeze the black
flag, the emblem of mu.der, punder, and trea-
son, and notified the world that they expected
no quarter for themselves and would give none
to the -" Yankee invaders" 1t appears that
they afterwards communicated their diabolical
intentions to their Chief Bandit, who, no doubt
would like to see the prisoners Of Castle
Pinckney summarily disposed of, but being
posted as to what might be expected from the
other side, be advised them to stay their mur-
derous determination, and TO treat the fated
subjects as prisoners Of war. No doubt they
will do as they please, under their sovereign
capacity as the State of South Carolina,
thereby following out their old doctrine and
Ishmaelitish proclivities. Of course these
Sodomites predicate their action upon the
result Of the Federal Courts in regard to the
event of the trials of certain renegade Yankees
who joined the Cotton privateer fleet, in hopes
to make money faster by plumber than by hon
est mackerel catching If the Federal Courts
condemn them, or any of them, whether they
are ever executed or not, then, say these ven-
geance seekers we will hang Col. Cochran and
others we have at our prison to appease our
maddening thirst for Northern blood. As
Davis and his parliament have had notice of
the intentions, and warm incinations of the
Charlestonians towards the persons placed at
their hands by his order, although he may
advise different measures still he must be held
to acquiesce in their inclinations, unless he acts
in the matter so as to remove all doubts. If
he leaves the persons in their hands, and the
Federal Courts should condemn, then he sane
tions the black flag and its consequences. We
make no boasts, nor threats to vengeance upon
the Union prisoners in the hands Of the trail
tors but we would call the Seccssionists
! attention TO certain facts of history and proph-
ecy; read Romans, II and l9,-(we wonder

as to newspapers? He said there was only
one newspaper in the district and he thanked
God there was not more than one man in ten
who could read it." In former times there was
a battle fought on the plains of Chalons III
Europe, aud such another may be fought on
the plains of South Carolina, near Charleston
with the battle cry of" the blood of our mur-
dered brothers has called US here to visit the
fate of Babylon upon your people, and your
towns and cities" Remember the battle oil
Angora, by the Mogul, and the fate of the
Turkish Sultan, Bajazet. These things may
all happen again. in our own country, should
the barbarism of the haunted chivalay warrant
the application of the power, and justify the
act, by their carrying out their black flag
doctrine.

FEATHER RIVER BRIDGE-The severe storm
of last Tuesday night stopped all travel and
transportation across Feather River at this
point and for miles up and down, except with
small boats, which is dangerous mode Of con-
veyance across streams as turbulent as the
Feather is, when swollen by heavy rains and
melting snow. While ferries are depended
upon as a means of crossing, these interruptions
of communication will continue, during the late
Fall, Winter and Spring months, or for nearly
one>half the year causing vexatious delays
and serious damage to the travelling public and
the business men of our county, besides pre-
venting access to the county seat, for several
days at a time, of one>half the tax payers Of
the county. The necessities of the public, de-
mand the removal of this obstacle to communi-
cation at the earliest possible moment, by the
building of a substantial bridge across the
river, at some point sufficiently near the town
to insure convenience.
Notwithstanding all that has been said and
done for years past, the petitions circulated,
charters granted and promises made, we ap,
pear to. be no nearer realizing the desired OBJ
ject than when the matter was first talked of,
years ago. There are those interested in the
building of bridge who have acted thus far,
no doubt, with pure motives, and have done all
in their power to accomplish it, but have, un-
fortunately, had those associated with them
who are so narrow minded, selfish and penu-
rous, not to say meanspirited, that they would
neither aid in furthering the enterprise or give
place for those who would Such men should
now be compelled to stand one side by the
voice of public opinion, and enterprising men,
with capital, enlisted aud encouraged in prose
cutting the work. The building of bridge is
an absolute necessity, and any further excuses
or delays will impair the confidence reposed in
those who have control of the enterprise.

RTcH DIGGINGs.-R Recent prospecting has
demonstrated the long supposed fact that rich
deposits OF gold are contained within the bo-
som of Table mountain, near Cherokee Flat
and very Short time will now, beyond a
doubt, open one of the richest mining districts
ever discovered in California. The great basin
will be tapped IN few months, by the Table
Mountain Mining Co., when its immense rich
ness will be fully known The district thus
opened is very extensive and will consume
years Of toll before it can be worked out We
are not disposed to be over joyous or enter tntc

that Butte county will very soon take the lead
IN extensive and rich~paying mining operations
UNIFoRM.-The Oroville Guards have made
arrangements for the manufacture of their uni
form in San Francisco, and expect to have
them delivered by the middle of December.
We understand that it is the intention of the
company to have grand military ball after
the arrival of their uniform.

REBEL Speaking Of the cap
ture of Mason and Slidell, and the decrease oi
the chances Of the recognition of the rebel Con
federacy by European Powers, the Shasta
Courier says quite sensibly:
While on this subject, it may as well be re
marked, that there has apparently been toe
much importance attached to the fact of recog
milton by European Powers of that bastard
Confederacy. The fact of recognition only
says this: We recognize you as a nation of the
earth That is all. 1t does not disturb or in
any way affect the position of that people SC
recognized as nation, toward any other Pow
er, and particularly power engaged in prose
cutting an energetic war against it, Indeed,
we can see reasons why Davis government
should be the last to demand recognition from
the European Powers, and especially from
France and England. The two Governments
are bitterly aud deeply opposed to the nstitu-
ton of slavery. 1t is safe to say that all
Engshmen and Frenchmen are abolltionists.
Slavery, as Vice President" Stephens has
Informed US, being E" the chief corner stone of
the Confederate constitutional is not easy to
see how these nations could do very great
deal 10 the way of sympathy for thing they
abhor. 1t might be mentioned that Mississippi
owes to the citizens of these Powers near
thirty millions of dollars This they would
have to pay, and it would materially modify
the chivalric zeal of that most honorable State
if it knew that it had to come down" with
that little balance, once repudiated by the
advice of this same Davis. The truth is thew
have everything to dread from this recognition.
while to the United States it is really matter
of indifference
