LARGE HoGs.-The Red Bluff Indepen-
dent says:
On Saturday last, we saw some of the
largest hogs ever brought to this town, in
the corral of Mr.. Trick, Of the Washington
Market. They are eleven in number, stand
over three feet high, and weigh about 400
lbs. each. They were raised on Ide's Bottom,
four miles south of Red Bluff, and are only
about two years old. We are told that
with good feeding they could be made to
weigh 600 lbs in short time.

Bite of Rattlesnake Cured in two Hours

The Petersburg Express publishes the fol.
lowing from reliable correspondents:
A carpenter while engaged few days ago
in pulling down an old house, and removing
some of the rotten timbcrs near the ground
was bitten by rattlesnake. In a few mo.
mens his finger was swollen to four times its
natural sze and rel streak commenced
running up his hand and wrist. A deadly
langour came upon him and his Wis on grew
dim clearly indicating that the subtle poison
that WIS coursing through his veins was rap
idly approaching the citadel of life. But a
remedy was tried merely by way Of expert
mcnt, which, to the surprise of all present
acted like charm, the component parts of
which were onion, tobacco, and salt of
equal parts, made into a poutice and ap
piled to the wound, and at the same time Il
cord was bound tightly about the wrist. In
two hours afterwards lie had recovered so as
to te able to resume his work. | knew an

accounts of some Of our f.iends in the hands
of Constable Greene unless they come and
settle up. Do you suppose gentlemen, that
we can sit up of nights, board rse'ves,
furnish our own candles, wear out our type,
use up our paper, pay our hands and waste
our ink all for nothing? What if you did
get defeated? 1t is no more than we expec
ted, and just wha, you deserved; for a man
who won't pay the printer never ought to
have and never will get an office. We are
getting our Irish up now, and we will be
dropped into forty foot shaft and let all

on our head, if we don't keep dunning you

Of his Cabinet 10 assist him in any part OF It.

We are Ear from wishing to find fault with It,
Would that We could endorse its every sentence
But we feel ncl ned to forgive all his errors, even
that of claiming for the Executive the right to
do any thing that Congress is required to do' and
for failing, in this message, to denounce in ad'

proposed; but on the contrary, and as If he had a
lingering hope that our sore troubles might pos

We pity the poor creature, and suggest
that he had better not venture abroad

But the writer speaks of "our loyal cit

are citizens who are not "loyal." Now We
have only to say, that the editors, publish
ers and writer's connected with the Jom-
nal, if they possess the spirit OF men, will
either POINT OUT, NAME and PROVE
TO BE GUILTY, those Of our cit
izens who are not loyal; or else, by Their
silence, confess that they are the PUBLIC
SLANDERERS of the community from
whom they get their bread.

Yours truly,

other questions than that of slavery those
calling themselves americans or Union men

separation of Ireland from Great Britain,
and the uprooting of the infamous system

advocated resort to physical force for
that purpose, and for several weeks so in

that occasion the Government, without any
application to "grand jury" decided up

the Times failed to utter the first word of
disapproval against such high-handed
proceeding. If we are not mistaken, the

were started in the same interest after the
demise of Mr.. Mitehell's. But then it was

A Curious Funeral Procession.

On the anniversary of the bombardr1ent
of Fort McHenry, the following incident
occurred:
There was curious incident happened
that day about one and half miles from
camp. About the time the cannon were
fired there was funeral procession seen
to be crossing the bridge which crosses
the Patapsco river. The bridge is in plain
sight of our camp, and is guarded by a
company of men at each end and sentry
to each pier. The procession was headed
by preacher and hearse, and there were
about thirty men and women, apparently
monruers. They had advanced part way
across the bridge when one of the sentries
surprised them, and insisted on seeing the
corpse, but the priest refused, saying that
the person had been dead several days and
smelt very bad, but the guard was bound
to see, and also called for the corporal of
the guard. The coffin was opened, and
found to be fall of Colts revolvers, worth
about $40 each, and also lot of papers
concerning prominent men in Baltimore,
one of whom is Ross Winans, the invent.
or of the great steam gun. They were all
taken the same night TO the fort. The
preacher proved to be rebel captain, and
the women were men in disguise. They
are all confined here in brick barn, with
guards at every door. .ay tes

THE CRISIS.

Oh! was there e'er time like this,

In any nation, time or place
That has been heretofore? 7=T.
The universsl answer is, 2.
1t never was the case .--
In any nation, time or cline, .- ...t..r -.
Or any other place. t-......r.
Because It's not the war alone,
With north and south advanced,
That makes each patriotic soul
To stand in awe entranced;
But-strange to say-in midst of woes,
Like those which now surround.
The Politician cry is heard
Above each other sound. .eia- la
Our southern soil polluted is,
With treason and secession,
The "stars and stripes" have been torn down
Through spite and vile aggression.
The constitution is made void,
The Union is (s) dissolved,
And rebels with murderous hand
Have US, in war, involved.
And now that we are harrassed so,
With strife On every side,
The question is what should We do .f
To check the flowing tide.
Blind must he be who cannot see,
Without an explanation, t
The course which we should all pursue
If We would save the nation.
We must lay down our politics.
Like men ofsense and reason,
And hand in hand, like brothers stand
Against "secesh" and treason.
And when secession is "tuck in,
Upon the union plan,
And Davis dare not cross our lines
"Or any other man."
Then, all these matters We will right,
With due consideration.
Wen talk about our parties then;
But now let s save the nation.
