am happy to say that the financial system already
adopted las worked Well SO far, and promises
good results for the f1ture To the extent that
Treasury notes may be issued, the Government
Is enabled to borrow money without interest, and
thus facilitate the conduct oil the war; This ex-

sion, imposing such rate of taxation as must

Is Indispensable that the means of Transporting

as possible, iu such manner as not to interrupt
the commercial intercourse between our peonle
nor place check On their productive energies.
10 this end the means of transportation from
one section of our country to the other must be
carefully guarded ard improved. And this
should be the object OF anxious care on the part
OF State and Confederate Governments, as far as
they may have power over the subject

evidence to be collected which proves complete
ly the utter inefficiency Of the proclaimed block
ade of our coast, and shall direct it to be laid
before such Governments as shall afford us the
means of being heard. But, although we should
be benefited by the enforcement of this law SO
solemnly declared by the great powers of Eu-
rope, we are not dependent on that enforcement
for the successful prosecution of the war. AS
long as hostlities continue the. Confederate
States will exhibit steadily increasing Capacity
to furnish their troops with food, clothing and
arms. If they should be forced to undergo many
of the luxuries and some Of the comforts of life,
they will, at least, have the consolation of know
ing that they are thus daily becoming more and
more independent of the rest of the world. If.
in this process, labor in the Confederate States
should be gradually diverted from those great
Southern staples which have given life to so much
of the commerce of mankind into other channels.
so as to make them rival producers instead of
profitable customers, they will not be the only
or even the chief losers by this change in the d-
rection of their industry. Although it is true
that the cotton supply from the Southern States
could only be totally cut off by the subversion
of our social system, yet it is plain that long
continuance of this blockade might, by diver
sion of labor and an investment Of capital in 9th
er empoyments, so diminish the supply as to
bring ruin upon all those interests of foreign
countries which are dependent on that staple.-
For every laborer who is diverted from the cul-
ture of cotton in the South, perhaps four times
as many elsewhere, who have found subsistence
in the various employments growing out of it's
use, will be forced, also, to change their occupa-
ton.
While the war which is waged to take from us
the right of self-government can never attain that
end it remains to be seen how far it may work a
revolution in the industrial system of the world,
which may carry suffering to otter lands well
as to onr own In the meantime, we shall con-
tinue this struggle in humble dependence upon
Providence, from whose searching scrutiny we
cannot conceal the secrets Of our hearts, and to
whose rule we confidently submit our destinies
For the rest, we shall depend upon ourselves

Hoopa Valley.

Most of the residents of Trinity are aware that
on our extreme west border (although in Klam-
nth county,) is beautiful valley, bearing the
above name. In fact, we have heard it time and
again asserted, by those who have Travelled much,
that they have never found a more delightful
spot than Hoopa Valley is in early summer. In
dian difficulties in Humboldt and Klamath have
much retarded its growth, until within the past
two years The new mail contract between
Healdsburg, Sonoma county, and Weavervile,
passes that way, now, through which we have
better facilities for obtaining intelligence than
ever before. AS yet there is no post office there,
but move will be made to establish one the
present summer
Mr. B. L. Warriner, an old resident of Trinity,
has been living in the valley for year past, and
on q recent visit 10 Weaverville, furnished us
with the following information relative to that
thriving little settlement
Fort CASTOR is located in the valley, in close
proximity to the settlement, and is now occupied
by company "B," 4th Infantry under command
of Capt. Ed. Underwood Since troops have
been stationed there, the Indians of which there
nre over one thousand in the valley, have been
comparatively friendly. and in many instances
have turned their attention to agriculture as a
means of providing for their families. From
What we can learn they are a much superior race
to the Diggers farmers employ them, and many
have accumulated considerable amount of mon
cv. the proceeds of their labors.
Mr. Warriner has completed a saw-mill, which
is already at work, and which will supply the
valley and surrounding country with all the um-
ber required. Mr.. Ii. w. Lake, one of the oldest
residents, and most enterprising citizens of the
valley, has recently contracted with Mr.. Warri
ncr for the building of bridge over the Trinity
at that place, which will be 800 feet long, and
cost $4,000. This will be convenience which
las long been required as much of the lower
Trinity, Klamath and Salmon travel passes that
way, and in time of freshet the Trinity can be
crossed in no other way at that point. Mr.. Lake
also intends building q new and commodous
hotel the present summer, tO accommodate the
Increasing travel
Large quantities Of wheat-more than is re-
qnired for home consumpuon-is raised in the
valley. There is good grist-mill, built by Stone
Lake, and now owned by Mr. Newkrk, where
excellent -four is manufactured. Altogether, it
is a thriving little community, and one which
will continue to prosper as the surrounding coun-
try is settled up
To give some idea Of the size of Trinity river
in time of food Mr.. Warriner tells us that during
the reshet of last month it rose nearly forty feet
down there. OF this there is no doubt, as the
fact was asceraned by actual measurement, with
II view to building the bridge above high wafer
mark
