CHANGE REUoRED--It is every day becoming
more evident that change in the Cabinet OF
President Lincoln is required. The public vel
fare seems to call for such change. Generally,
we do not approve of public Interference in such
matters, for the reason that if in instance the
President acccdes to such demand, he may even
tually be required to dismiss his entire Cabinet,
for perhaps imaginary reasons. But the monied
and otherwise influential interest East, ask that
a man better itted for the responsible position
of Secretary of War, be placed in Cameron's seat.
If be is untitled for the position be should be re-
moved. 1t is case in which personal or political
preference should be set aside, And there are
men-Wool or Holt, and dozen others-who
would be a credit to the nation in its present en-
ergency An experienced naval officer should
also occupy the position Of Gideon Wells, as Sec
Tetary OF the Navy.

ATMOSPHERIC Delightful weather we have

ATMOSPHERIC Delightful weather we have
enjoyed for week past The melancholy
days" are coming, Judging from the atmosphere
between the setting and rising of the sun. Our
friend Dodge, who has been keeping Weaver and
Shasta principally Shasta coppers" cool with
ice fom the summit of Z" old Bally" for the last
three months, was noticed the other morning
vending that article with an overcoat on. Saloon
keepers looked appreciated the joke
spoke of the weather asked if the ice froze last
night, etc, until be of the mountain took the
hint. We need not say that the ice wagon has
disappeared. However if the citizens Of Red
Bluff need cooling there is any amount of ice
here yet. Furthermore, it is warranted not TO
melt this side of Trinity mountain if the present
weather holds.

MPROvfNG RIVER NAYIGATTON.-Th Red Bluff
Iadependent mentions that the steamer Sam Soue
Capt. Pierce is engaged in removing snags and
otherwise improving the Sacramento river be-
tween Red Bluff and Tehama At the Tehama
Bar a wing dam has been constructed which,
throwing the warter into one channel, will mate
rally expedite transit at that heretofore trouble
some point
This cleaning out of the river channel is no
new thing. Every year the California Steam
Navigation Company expend from $4,000 to
1000 in the same manner. Still the Company
is denounced as prodigious monopoly, and op-
position boats are patroniaed because they carry
passengers at low rates, But they have never
invested dollar in improving the river, and but
for the enterprise of the old company would not
be enabled to run th cir boats. Looking at this
thing fairly, we think the old company deserve
more eoppers and fewer kicks than they get

TmERALfTY OF THE NtYIG tTI0N CoMPANT.-
We have often heard the Cal. 5. n. Company de-
nounced and reviled as a grasping selfish mono
polv: but it is clear that those who used such
language did not well know what they were
talking about, or else were gratifying personal
spite The ibcrality of this Company has always
been great but now it is magnificent Their
boats on the lower waters are crowded daily with
volunteers eh route for Headquarters, and whom
they are carrying free Of charge and all volunteers
dcsrous of proceeding to their regimental quar-
ters from this town, will find tree passage
awaiting them on the boats, whenever they apply
for it. We hope that our business men, and other
citizens will show that they can appreciate the
generosity of spirit displayed by the Navigation
Company.
The above remarks from the Red Bluff hide
pendent do the California Steam Navigation
Company but simple justice. 1t is no small item
to the Company, this transportation Of the voun-
teers to headquarters, when it is remembered that
great majority of the five regiments lately
called for come from counties where they must
necessarily pass down the Sacramento, Feather,
Yuba or San joaquin rivers.
AS going still further to show the gener-
osity of this Company, Jno. Martin, Esq, of this
place, has handed us letter from Mr.. J. Com
stock, at Red Bluff, announcing that Capt. John
ston, the gentlemany agent of the Steam Navi-
CATION Company at that place has rendered to
the company now being raised in WeaverVille, II
free passage from that point to San Francisco
In common with the independent, we trust the
people Of Trinity will " show that they can APP
preciate the generosity Of spirit displayed by the
Navigation Company"
