IL ERRoR.-In last weeks JOURNAL we stated
that Bishop O'Connell was to bring with him a
pastor for the Weavervile parish. 1t was an
error on our part, occasoned by misunderstand-
ing in receiving information as to the probable
time the Bishop would arrive. We make the
correction with pleasure, knowing that no ar
rangement could occasion greater dissatisfaction,
not alone to Catholics, but to citizens OF this
county generally, than the removal of Father
O'Reiley, who. by his zeal in the cause of reli-
gion, his ability to perform its functions, his
gentlemanly bearing aud genial disposition, has
become so firmly seated in the affections of our
people as to render his presence necessity.

Prospects Of the Year.

They were never better in the mOuntains-all
agree April, so far, has been accompanied by
copious and continued showers, whose grateful
freshness is destined to pour wealth over our COM
munity and county. The mining interest has
been well sustained by old mother Nature the
present season, and that good old lady seems de-
termined to crown her generosity this month
"Bally" luxuriates in mantle of snow unequal
ed in former years, and the accumulation of that
desired article which is daily going on will ex-
tend the season of labor in the mines many weeks
beyond the usual period. We don't hesitate to
say that this will be the best mining season since
gold was discovered in Weaverville basin.
Agriculture too, looks up with cheerful coun-
tenance, and in every part of Trinity farmers be-
sneak plentiful harvest The lateness of spring
will check the fruit crop from that precocious
growth which proved fatal to tender kinds last
year, and growers look hopefully for large
yield.
The warm weather Of February and March
the continued rains from that period to the pres
ent, all contribute to render the season singular
" auspicious to the development of our mineral
and agricultural wealth, and those who for years
have waited patiently for the "gOod time" to
come, will find their hopes realized, and not re-
gret the time which delayed the maturity OF their
well-oTdered plans.
In view of the prospects which so generally
cheer us, the mercantile interest is looking up.
aud business is steadily on the increase. The in
fux of large invoices of goods is an index OF the
confidence with which our merchants are inspr-
ed. Everything gives promise OF prosperity, and
we repeat that this will be the best year ever
known in our county.

Arrival or the Pony Express.

sAN FRANCISCO, April 3, 1861.
The Pony arrived at II o'clock, with New
York dates to March 22d, Only the most impor.
tant news is given
The Cabinet and Gen. Scott had a protracted
conference on the 22d ult. The evacuation of
Fort Sumter, and the distribution of the spoils
was under consideration.
The announcement in Charleston, March 2lst,
that Fort Sumter would probably be evacuated,
created immense excitement, and work was sus-
pended for time. Gov. Pickens and General
Beauregard had decided on fortifying all the ap-
proaches to Charleston harbor.
Business was improving on account of the
prospect of a settlement OF the existing national
troubles.
An angry debate took place between Senators
Douglas aud Fessenden. on the 2lst ult., in re-
gard to the policy of the Administration, which
degenerated into a personal quarrel.
1t is feared the tariff OF the Southern COnfede-
racy will impair the reimporting and jobbing
business of the North.
Considerable feeling exists among Californians
at Washington at the attempt of Senator Baker
to control the appointments in this State. Suli-
van and Stanford are considered the proper au-
thorties to consult in the distribution of Federal
patronage in the Golden State.
Jaynes, of Illinois, is put forward for Governor
of Colorado Territory.

OPPOSITION ON THE SACRAMENTo.--A Tehama
correspondent of the Shasta Courier appeals to
the merchants of Northern California in behalf
of the opposition to the California Steam Navi-
CATION Company, lately put on the upper Sacra'
mento. Remarking on the subject of "opposi'
tion boats" the Courier says,
ave look upon all projects of steamboat op-
position prima facis evidence of chicanery on
the part Of the projectors. In every instance
heretofore, all oppositions, hoth to the G. S. N.
Co. and the Pacific NJ. S. Co.. have been estab-
lisbed for the sole purpose of compelling those
companies to buy them off. Spectators abso-
lutely built the boats with that sole object in
view They have thus entaied an extraordinary
expense upon the California S. N. Co., which thus
compelled it to keep prices of freight and pass
age at figures sufficiently high to cover the extra
ordinary expenses forced upon it by the specula-
ting opposition rascals."
That, the editor says, is frozen truth, in which
we heartily concur. 1t is the sequel to the ex-
hOrbitant rates spoken of by the correspondent
Year after year the old company have been
obliged to buy off these speculating OppostioDs,
put on the river, as opposition steamers have been
on the ocean, for the sole purpose of being bought
off.
The California Steam Navigation Company
announce that after April lst, the rate of freight
by their steamers between San Francisco and
Sacramento will be 81 a ton, and between San
Francisco and Red Bluff, ST per ton, measure
ment, and 50 per ton, weight-a reduction OF
over 100 per cent. We are in favor of patronz-
ing the company who run boats the year round.
in preference to these opposition upstarts. who
annually reduce the price of freight few weeks,
for the sole purpose of being bought after the
eYniratiOn of that time.

packers convention will not rule. Horse flesh
