TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST %, 1861.


as- "a ccrresp0 0ndent requests our opinion as to
the number of troops contemplated by the 1 act 70
provide for thepnblic defence Y lately passed by
the Confederate Congress. He wishes to know if
the law means that four hundred thousand yolun-
teers are to be employed in addition to the militia,
or is it intended that four hundred thousand are all
that the President i authorized 70 accept.
Our construction Of the law is, that fonr hundred
Thousand ID the maximum number which the Presi-
dent may call for, and it makes no difference
whether they are called volunteers or militia. The
net merely authorizes the President to increase
volunteer force until il reaches faar hundred
theusand,if il he should think proper to do so. We
have already in the field about one hundred and
ninety thousand men; 30 that the President has
the power to accept tho services of two hundred
and ten thousand more, if theirserpices should be
needed. The law does not require him to put into
the field four hundred thousand men.--it only
authorizes him to ao,st there should be any ne
cessity for it. s
We have no idea that the four hundred thousand
will be needed, as we believe we have enoagh now
to whip the enemy everywhere on our soil. Still,
If the President should call for them they can be
easily had and as many more, as the e1igencies Of
1 thesoase may require. 4 @ 5s 4

THE SETTLERS PEsT-There has been a sus-
pension of Indian hostilties in Trinity, for ten
days past. Still there is no safety for those who
live in remote sections, and in several instances
farmers have sent their families either to this
place, or to more thickly populated districts. All
along Trinity river and on the southwestern
border of the county, families are living-some-
times miles distant from any protection or aid in
case of any attack.
1t is certainly a sad, shameful state of affairs
at this late day. After years of toll have been
spent in preparing home for his family, in the
fond hope that in doing his duty TO the Govern
mcnt in aiding its support as a good and indus
trious citizen, the property owner who lives
remote from the thickly populated districts has
no security either for life or property for a single
dav. Even when the Governor of the State is
appealed to in case of actual outbreak (as at Biz
Bar few weeks snce,) there comes no response,
aud the settler must either protect his homestead
at his own expense, or leave it to the mercy
Of these savage, barbarous pests. This state OF
things in the year 1861, is disgrace to the home
Government, and should call forth speedy re-
medy in some shape
The people of Humboldt county are more dan
safe, and from week to week we are constantly
receiving information Of savage depredations
throughout its borders Large bands of cattle
heretofore subssted in the fertile mountain rang
cs have been driven to the valleys where feed is
exhausted, and they must be either sold at a sac
rifce or starve.
In Closing a stirring appeal for protection
against this great and crying evil, the last Hum
boldt Times says:
8" No section of the State presents so many in
ducements to settlers as Humboldt county. With
a soil naturally rich beyond all calculation is
added a climate which varies but few degrees
in temperature throughout the year. And above
all, we are not cursed with that bane OF Calitor-
MIA, "Spanlsh Grants' Once having reduced
the warike Indians, this county will rapidly in
crease in population and wealth and we believe
in "manifest destiny" so far that HUMBOLDT
county is destined to be one of the richest and
most enterprsing in the State"
