DIED-At the residence of his father. in
Shasta, on the 9th inst, JAMES w. DowNER.
formerly of Utica, n. Y. The subject of this
obituary was not only favorable known in
this large community, but was conspicuous
for his rare virtues and intelligence. Infir-
mites from early childhood had much to do
with the disease which closed his mortal ca
reer. His sufferings, though protracted and
intense, were borne without murmur until
the departure of his precious soul from its
frail tenement. Farewell, dear James The
lamentations and tears of kind and affec
tionate father, a tender and disconsolate mo-
ther, and loving and affectionate sister and
brothers follow you to the grave; bns from
the exemplary life for which you were con-
spicuous, the future to them should no doubt
be of infinite consolation. The Utica, n. Y,
papers will please copy. A. FRIEND.

En- COURIER Dear Sir-The Court OF
Sessions met here on the 4th inst. The Grand
Jury was empanneled on the 5th, and got
through with its labors on the Sth. They
found ''bill'' against Thomas Noll, who
was confined in the County Jail, for murder;
also against Charles West, for grand larceny.
The latter was convicted, and sent to San
Quentin for one year. The admonition of the
presiding Judge to the prisoner, before pro-
nouncing the Judgment of the Court, was
highly impressive and pathetic, so much so
that the audience, and even portion of the
bar, melted into tears. The prisoner was
sentenced for the shortest possible time pre-
scribed by statute, owing, it is said, to the
powerful appeal Of defendants counsel, Mr..
Burch.

ANOTHER FLEEr.-It is true that there is
another large fleet, consisting of about forty
vessels, most Of them men-of-war, now on
the point of sailing from New York for some
destination in the Southern waters. The
particSlars in regard to this feet are not yet
fully known. but well grounded supposition
points to New Orleans as its destination.-
Simultaneously with its descent on that
place, it IS expected that movement will be
made down the Mississippi river.

UNCLE GwIN.-We see it stated that this
distinguished statesman, when arrested, was
on his way to Russia, as the Minister of Da-

ONO AND PENNSYLVANIA ELECTIONS
Certain newspapers in this State are endeav-

to the contrary, is that in those States each
ticket run was committed with equal force
and distinctness to the maintainance of the
Federal Union as it was. The Peace

are talking about the number Of men furnish

willing to serve his country in the field, we
cannot see that it makes any difference as to
what his former political afinities may have

they love their country, and it will be soon

GREAT VIcToRY.-The Kentuckians have
gained great victory in Polk county, Ken
tucky, over the miscreants who have invaded
that noble old State from Davisdom. Gen.
Johnson commanded the Federal troops, and
one Wilson commanded the rebels. 400
rebels were killed, and over 1000 taken pris-
oners- The route was complete, the victory
perfect. Kentucky will yet more fully show
of what sort of mettle her people are made.

CLOSING PoRrs.-It is the intention of
Government to stop the entrance to the ports
of Charleston and Savannah, by sinking ves-
sells loaded with sand and stone in the chan
nels. This is very effective way of doing
it. If stone is needed in the vicinity of
Charleston, the buildings of that city would
furnish the article. 1t has been thought for
long time that the proper location for the
city of Charleston was about twenty miles
east of where it now stands

The CALIFORNIA VOLUNTEERS AT WALLA
WALLA.-The Walla Walla (Oregon) CORES
pondent of the Alta, writing about military
matters, says: We 1.-THE California volun-
teers lately arrived there) have been treated
courtcously by all the officers of the regular
army except by those at this place. Captain
Magruder did not come out to receive us as
we marched towards the fort, nor has he called
upon Major Curtis, who is in command of our
detachment. The rumor here is, that the
officers at this place are secessionists."
The Shasta courier., 1861-11-23

n TRAITOR CoERcED.-James Brown was
arrested in Boston, Nov 18th, as a secession
ist He had a letter in his possession from
VIM. L. Yancey, in England, to his son in
Alabama, in which he speaks discouraginsly
of Southern recognition by the Europeap
powers.
The Shasta courier., 1861-11-23

THREATS. 1t is threatened by the rebels
that if any of the crews captured by the Ma
Wy of the United States, attached to the Con-
federate service in privatcering, are execu-
ted, that they will retaliate by hanging Col.
Corcoran and other Federal prisoners in their
possession. This would be an act of murder,
cold -blooded. wilful murder, compared to
which poisoning a well, or saving the string
ers of railroad bridge, would be benevo-
lent act.
The Shasta courier., 1861-11-23
Mason and Slidell.

twill be seen by our telegraphic dispatch
es. that these persons have been captured by
the Government, when on the way to Europe
in the capacity of Commissioners from JEFF
Davis, Esq. Whether their papers, instruc-
tions, etc.. were seized or not has not trans
pired. The 1imsy hopes of being recognized
as a nation, INDUCED in heretofore by that
unfortunate people, must utterly disappear
before this disaster. A long time ago one of
their journals openly said that their cause
(the revolt) did not command the sympathy
or support of any people on earth. The truth
then stated will now begin to be realized.
While ON this subject, it may as well be
remarked, that there has apparently been too
much importance attached to the fact of re-
cognitien by European powers Of that bastard
Confeaeracy. ~he fact of recognition only
says. ssis We recognize you as nation of
the earth. That is all 1t does not disturb
or in Hany way affect the position of that peo-
pie so recognized as a nation, towards any
other power, and particularly a power en-
gagged in prosecuting an energetic war
against it.
Indeed we can see reasons why Davis
government should be the last to demand
recognition from the European powers, and
especially from France and England.
These two Governments are bitterly and
deeply opposed to the institution of slavery.
1t is safe to say that all Englishmen and
Frenchmen are Abolitionists Slavery, as
g Vice President" Stephens has informed us,
being g the chief corner stone' of the Con-
federate Constitution, lit is not easy to
see how these nations could do very great
deal in the way of sympathy for thing they
abhor.
1t might be mentioned that Mississippi
owes to the citizens of these powers near
thirty millions of dollars. This they would
have to pay, and it would materially modify
the chivalric zeal of that most honorable
State if it knew that it had to "come down"
with that little balance, once repudiated by
the advice of this same Davis The truth is
they I'VE everything to dread from this re-
cognition, while to the United States it is re-
ally matter of Indifference.
