New PAPER IN TRiNITY,-Mr. 7. E. Jones, a
resident of this county for the last six years. Is
about to publish weekly paper at Douglas City,
on Trinity river. He tells us that it will be dub
bed The Mountain Express and will be indepen'
dent in politics The material used is that on
which the Trinity Times was formerly printed
the paper will be about one third less in size than
the JOURNAL.
We wish the Commodore success in his en-
terprise. Have no idea that he will ever become
rich at the business, but being practical printer.
NAV at least make good living, and be of much
service if he proceeds with care and economy.
The citizens of that fourisbing town have aid
ed Mr. Jones to buy his material by advance sub
scription, and he will doubtless reciprocate 10y
using every honorable means to advance the in
terests and prosperity of his adopted home
Again we say, success to the Commodore" and
his enterprise.

RATES OF FREIGHT FROM RED BLuFF.-The
Packers and Transfers Mutual Protection Soci-
ETY. have published throughout the northern
counties their schedule of rates for carrying
freight between Red Bluff and the points north.
We are informed that many persons owning
teams and pack trains refuse to sign the required
bond, which subjects them to a penalty of S 1000
If they transport freight at less than the schedule
rates. Several residents of Weaverville are run
ming teams to the Bluffs, and not one of them has
yet bound himself to charge the prices agreed on
by the Society. Inc teamster or packer, on his
arrival at Weavervile, will receive orders from
business men for his next load at whatever freight
they may agree on, and all the Protec ton Socie-
ties ever organized cannot prevent him from
loading such freight when be returns to Red
Bluff We are of opinion that the new freight
tariff will not govern.

EAsTERS lNTELLIGENCE.-Mr Block, telegraph
agent here, informs US that another Pony had
arrived, bnt the operator at Marysville thought
the news not worth sending, as none of impor-
tance came by it.
The same may be said of the news by the Pony
which reached Sacramento last Saturday. One
item is, that Inconsistencies in the dispatches of
Major Anderson, before and after Lincoln's inau-
guraton, excite suspicious that be has been in
completely with the sccessionists. Tom. COrwin
is confirmed Minister to Mexico. 1t is reall Y
stated in Washington that plot to revOlutonize
California and Oregon has been discovered. Gen
johnson aud other officers are implicated Non
sense RumOr also says that Fort Sumter will
not be evacuated, but rumor is not believed in
this instance. Lieut.. Slemmer sent word to the
President that Fort Pickens must be Immediately
provisioned or he should abandon it, The Brook
lyn, st. Louis, Sabine and Wyandotte were off
Fort Pickens.
The Charleston Courier notices the arrival of
ex-Congressman Holmes, who says Seward de-
sired him to say to the people of Charleston that
he was for peaceful settlement. aud would do
everything in his power for an amicable arrange
ment; also, that Scott gave similar assurances,
and the President favors such ii policy, and a
majority OF the Cabinet desire the evacuation of
Pickens well as Sumter.

WE have before mentioned the fact that the
Sacramento Union has entered upon its eleventh
year, and that it is one of the most admirably
conducted newspapers in the United States. To
give some idea of the estimation it is held in
here, we are informed, and positively know that
between three and four hundred Weekiy Unions
are disposed of by Greenhood NewbaGer every
week, TO say nothing OF the daily circulation.

Tue REAsON.-Only portion of the Atlantic
mail by the last steamer came on Tuesday night.
The balance reached here on Thursday. Stage
agent Mayhem says the missing bag went to
Trinity Center through mistake. 1t very often
occurs that the tag bearing the name of the
Office for which the mail is nteuded, gets lost in
changing stages, and the mistake cannot be dis
covered until it is done at the next office
Weekly Trinity journal., 1861-04-13

GREAT PLANKs.-The Oregon Sentinel states
that the Port Townsend folks have done the big
thing in the way of planks. Four three-inch
planks were lately shipped to San Fracisco, each
one hundred and three feet and six inches in
length The widest measured forty inches across
at the butt and eighteen inches at the bead
containing in the single cut, about 75O feet OF
lumber.

THE NoRTH FORK RATTLEsNAKE AND New RIv-
Err TRAII.-Expressma Hudson, who is now sup
plying the New River people with newspapers
and attends punotually to all business transao-
tions entrusted to him, came in on Thursday
night. He reports general prosperity in that
region, and the arrival of new comers daily.
Mr.. Hudson has determined to open, or have
opened, as soon as possible, a trail from New
River to intersect the present route from North
Fork to Rattesnake. The distance is only about
twelve miles, and the expense OF opening good
trail will not exceed $500
This is a ina tier in which business men Of Wea-
yeryille and North Fork should evincc some in
terest. Establish the fact Immediately that from
these two points New River should be supplied
every article of consumption. Mr.. Hudson has
already satisfied himself that he can carry his
Express from Weavervile to Pony Greek, by
the proposed route, in twenty hours, whereas by
the route now Travelled it takes nearly three days.
Those who have been longest on New River ac-
knowledge all these facts and assert that supplies
can be delivered there as cheap from Weacsr@iIts as
from Humboldt Bay. The amount to be raised is
trifng, and as subscriptions have been opened
at both Weaverville and North Fork, we hope 1t
will be Immediately subscribed. The trail will
be commenced forthwith.

glance, pretty correct view Of the insect.
Every worm, bug, and butterfly, With,
which we come. in daily contact, has
similar history worthy of our investiga-
ton. 1t would not take very large cab-
met to make US familiar with those which
prey most upon our labors. Specimens
Of insects are much more easily preserved,
than those of birds aud the larger animals;
and the expense for the meterial of pre-
serving them, would be within the reach
of most farmers sons. The habits Of
careful observation fostered by such a
study, would be invaluable to the boy,
whatever might be his future calling.
One of the best methods of keeping iu-
.sects in check upon the meadow, and
which is appropriate to the season, is lib
eral top dressing with compost or stable
manure. As soon after the moving as Is
convenient, compost IS spread at the ratio
Of twenty loads or more to the acre. Those
who adopt this course, give as their rea.
sons, that ammonia is offensive to insects,
aud they are much less liable to deposit
their eggs in recently manured meadow
than in clean stubble and that the ma
nure makes stouter plants and more OF
them, so that the traces of tho eating Of,
worms are seldom seen in rich meadows.
Facts generally prove the theory.
Others have great faith in the plow as,
Ia destroyer of grubs. All their lands
destined for hoed crops arc plowed late in :,
the Fall and the burrows of a multitude
Of insects and their eggs, are thus turned
up to the Winter frosts. But the most
efficient helpers in this warfare are the,
birds Some Of them Gud their principal
food in bugs and worms, and were they
protected by the farmer, and allowed to
multiply, they would guard his crops eff
Ifectually from insect ravages. They
should be welcomed to his orchards and
meadows, and copses of evergrecus be
planted to shelter them, where they have,
not sufficient protection. They soon,
learn their friends, and congregate in the,
places where no robber molests, and no,
gun makes them afraid.-American Ag-
ricuIturiSt.
