Misunderstanding to the Militia Law
passed by the last Legislature, the counties Of
Butte, Plumas, Colasa, Shasta, Siskiyou, Trim
ity, Humboldt, Del Norte and Klamath, form
the Sixth Division Of California Militia, and
the counties of Butte Plumas, Cousa and
Shasta, form the First Brigade of the Sixth
Division. Mr.. DeShelds, we believe, of Shas-
ia, has been appointed Brigadier General, and
fixed bis headquarters at Shasta; and has also
as we are informed, appointed his staff entirely
from citizens of Shasta county Considerable
dissatisfaction is manifested by some of our
military men, not only regarding the classifca-
ton of counties composing this division, but
against the establishment of the headquarters
Of the brigade at Shasta point upon the ex-
treme northern border of the Territory embra-
ced within the Brigade Division, and difficult
of access. instead of its being located, as it
should have been, in some more central posi-
ton; also, against the honor conferred upon
Shasta county, to the exclusion of all others,
in the selection Of officers. The law regarding
Division and Brigade parades is rendered al
most a nullity, so far as this district is con
cerned, as it is preposterous to think of com
pelling military company to travel one hun
dFed and twenty miles By stage coaches, at
their own expense, to engage in a holiday pa
rade. We have heard it stated that the 9th
of December has been fixed upon by the com
mauding officer as the day for a grand parade
and review of this brigade at Shasta, but we
are inclined 10 the belief that it will amount 10
nothing more than miserably played farce.
Since writing the above, We are informed
that the Oroville Guards have been ordered
out for parade and review on the Goth of De
cember in this place, by Brigadier General
DeShields

MINING-The recent rain storm started an
ample supply of water for drifters, and by next
week we expect to hear of some heavy yields
from the enormous piles of pay dirt which have
prospected so well in our neighboring towns.
If the weather continues favorable for six or
seven days in succession, sum Of not less than
100000 will be washed out in Northern
Sierra. Besides the benefit to be derived from
the circulation of so large an amount of money
in our midst, the miners will be able to contin-
ue their drifting through the winter months,
while they otherwise would have had to sus-
pend operations for want of space to dump
their dirt. This opportune season of water
will ada materially to the prosperity Of the
coming year, in this community.

The CAMEL-IIIs Uses AND HABITs.-We
have heretofore noticed the fact that herd of
camels were employed in packing salt from the
Springs beyond Walkers Lake to Virginia
not the Old Dominion-for salt can't save her
but to the mining hamlet, so called, where
it is largely used in the reduction of ores. For
the business. Of bringing in this article over the
wide eXpanse OF intervening desert, the ungainly
beast is found most convenient since their feed
costs almost Gotbing, and each one is capable
Of carrying about six hundred pounds. The
salt is worth seven cents Il pound, delivered in
Virginia, and as it costs nothing at the Springs
a very fair profit results to the packer. The
habits Of the camel are so unlike these of all
other domestic animals as to excite our curios-
fy. They are the least vicious and most doce
and patient of all creatures. They kneel for
their load, and are willing to carry all they can
bear, but protest against being overburdened
with great outcry. They will travel over
the arid plains FOR days with a single drink
and want nothing better than few thiStles or
coarse shrubs to feed upon. They care moth
ing about hay or barley in fact, will not eat
them if there is a cump Of willows or grease
wood within reach. They forsake the green
grass, loving to browse among th0rns or pluck
the twigs of trees. They are a solitary ANIMAL
aud when left to themselves go away into
lonely and desert places, seemingly fond of
solitude and sterility. Hence they fud delight
in this country, the sage planes being place
altogether to their minds One old patriarch
in this herd has been known, it is said to live
week on single clump Of greasewood,
which he came across, and considered too good
a thing to leave until it was wholly consumed.
The camel certainly cannot be called an epcu-
rean beast Silver Age.

Execution AT RED BLuFF-On Friday
last, Nov. 29th, says the Red Bluff Indepen-
dent, at about o'clock P NJ, the extreme
penalty Of the law was visited upon Jesus
Beraza, for the murder of another Mexican. in
that place last Spring. Sheriff Johns had
made every preparation in most admirable
manner, to carry out the sentence of Judge
Sexton, and at precisely o'clock. the prisoner
was brought out of his cell to the gallows,
which had been erected inside the jail The
execution was not public, and no one was ad-
mitted but those who had been furnished note
of invitation. After religious services by Rev
Mr.. Mclaughlin, the fatal trap fell, and the
prisoner was launched into eternity. Every
thing had been SO well arranged, that his death
must have been almost instantaneous.
