Another Soldier Dead.

IH- We were not aware, until day
or two ago, of the death of our friend,
w. H. MUNGER, Of Fairbank, in this
county, member of Company c., 9Th
Regiment He was taken sick on re
turning from the march to Mile Lac,
Minnesota, on the 30th of October, and
died at Anoka, on the 9th of November.
He received the kindest attention from
the people Of that place, who took him TO
a private house, nursel him ten Ter.
ly, and turned out en- nasse to do honor
to his remains He was an honest, up
right, truthful man, and no one has gone
into the army from purer motives Of pat
riolism, or a nobler sense of duty. When
we last saw him at Dubuque he was full
of life, energy. animation and good feel
ing, but now, alas ! he is in the silent
tomb. May the sod press lightly upon
his bosom.

secesh, red hot, as one woman said to-
day. Their slaves are all in favor OF
going with the Lincoln soldiers" as
they call all Union troops. Each Of the
regiments in this corps, have lots OF
black boys with them. They tote KNAPP
sacks and guns, and do all other kinds
Of labor willingly. The soldiers are not
allowed TO enlice them away. but if a
negro wishes to 60 with us, he is at lib
erly 10 go. Once with US he is as free
RS any one, and must be paid his regu-
lar wages. We see large fields of cotton
unpicked, and corn un.athered. The
teams Of all planters and farmers along
the line of our march are taken and add
ed to cur train. The Quartermasters
and Commssaries take corn, fodder,
(hay and oats don't EXIST beef, pork
and all other articles that are necessary
for the support of the soldiers, giving
memoranda receipts for the same, the
holder OF which can get voucher for
the receipt by taking the oath Of allegi-
ence prescribed by the acts Of Congress
We took to-day mule from Methodist
preacher. He complained TO the COM
mander of the brigade, who referred him
to Col. Gilbert. He told him the Col.
that it was all the mule he had to ride
his circuit with, and he wanted this one
left The Col. told him if be would
take the oath ofallegiance he would give
up the mule. The preacher refused,
so our regiment has one more mule, and
probably the cause OF religion, in this
part of the G. S. A., will suffer on that
account

occurs of interest. We have had lovely
weather since we left Cairo, and this is
a lovely country.

PLANT! PLANr!-This year promises to be
a golden one to the farmers of the State
More money will be made by that worthy
class of our citizens this season than they
have made in the last five years. Oregon,
which has always raised q large surplus, will
raise comparatively nothing this season
certainly not more than enough for immedi-
ate home consumption. Cariboo, Salmon
river, Humboldt and Washoe must look to
California for their food, and in these locali-
ties there will be one hundred thousand men
to feed. This fact alone is sufficient to prove
that farming will be the most remunerative
of all occupations this year. There can be
no danger of raising too much. The fear is
well grounded that with all our efforts enough
can not be produced to supply the demand
BY the provisions of Cranes bill, which will
become a law, our farmers need have no
difficulty in raising means to carry on their
farm ing operations. We therefore say,
plant as extensively as possible.
The Shasta courier., 1862-02-15

MORTGAGE on CRoPs.-The bill alloving
farmers to pledge their crops in expectah hcy,
for the purpose of raising money, now btfore
the Legislature will probably become a law.
By its provisions, a debt contracted under it
has precedence over any other, and through
its instrumentality our farmers will be ena-
bled to cary on their operations without diff
fculty. The law is a good one- Farming is
going to be a better paying business this year
than it has been in California for the lastten
years, and we have but little doubt but that
the agriculturalists of the State will sow as
extensively as possible. There are many
reasons why they should do so. 1t is impos-
sible to raise too much grain this year
The Shasta courier., 1862-02-15

SALT LAKE.-The Saints are apparently
determined to force themselves into the
Union. Meetings have been held at various
points, and the most fiery resolutions adopt
ed, shadowing forth that unless they are ad-
mitted inte the Union they will raise rum
pus. A mass meeting was held in Salt Lake
City on the 7th of January. at which dele
gates were appointed to a Convention called
to organize State Government. Governor
Dawson, one of Lincoln's appointments, has
fed the Territory, the cause for which is not
very clearly given. unless it is in the fact
that he mixed in some domestic arrangements
for which he got ''larruping," and being
promised another, he retrea:ed in good order
to Indiana.

Knocked into Eternal Smash.

For some time past we have been in trib-
ulation concerning the peace of mind of our
neighbor of the Beacon. We always sus-
pected that our cotem. was not special ad-
mirer of General Jim Lane, of Kansas.
This suspicion became certainty when the
news reached this coast that that parsonage
had been appointed to the "posish' of Major
General and was to have command of 80, ,OOO
jayhawkers. 1t was at that particular juno
ture that the Beacon and Mountain Demo-
crat, but especially the Beacon, became most
rabid. Itrefused all manner of consolation,
but smotc James hip and thigh, and pursued
him even unto far places. One good turn
deserving another, after it had skinned him
alive in one issue, it turned him over and
skinned him alive again in the rext. Any
thing perfect has points to be admired, and
therefore the way our neighbor lind, skin
ned and "jayhawked'' old Lane was abso-
lutely admirable. Prose was getting too
tame. In one or two weeks more our neigh
Dor would have assuredly taken to hexameter
verse to express himself. just, however, be-
fore it reached stage so alarming as this,
as if to illustrate the old adage that it is
long lane that has no turns, Lane was
switched off," and is not going to have
command of so, 600 men after all, is not 60
ing to be Major General, and is not q boda-
ciously" going to chaw up the women and
children in the South west, or make any more
rebel prisoners ''dig their own graves and
then shoot thcm" We feel easier. The
Mountain Democrat, too, has iivalled-no
one could excel-the Beacon over this ap-
pointment. Now Danyel come to judg
ment," and answer if you don't feel bad in
having lost SO much red hot indignation,
which might, if held in reserve, have done so
much good hereafter? Let's liquor.
The Shasta courier., 1862-02-15

EPIcRAM-We all remember the stinyine
epigram on the British flag, which went III,
rounds of the press few years ago. Moth
ing could be more bitter. 1t is as fullows
(quoted from memory):
England, whence came each brilliant hue,
That tints yon flag of meteor light,
The deeper red, the paler blue,
Crossed with the moonbeam's pearly white?
The blue and red-the blood and bruise-
Let Asia's groaning millions speak;
The white, it marks the color fed
From starving Erin's pallid cheek.

CowHIpED.-Senator Perkins, in a recent
speech in the State Senate, went out of his
way to call Col Bell a 6 one armed political
hummer Bell cowhided him him for doing
so, after politely asking him to retract it,
which Perkins refused to do. To twita a man
with his bodily misfortunes is bad enough,
but when it is remembered that Bell lost his
arm in hiscountry's war, the meaness of
Perkins remark is beyond parallel.

or forty thousand dollars a year might be
realized TO the State from this source.
