Trinity Centcr-New Diggings Discovered
Other Matters.

We have been woiting patiently long time
for some one tell us what was going on at the
north east corner of the county. and have finally
received letter from Oscar" at which we are
very much gratfed. He writes under date
October 29tb the following;
"Tbnking you would like to bear from US
north end.ers, take the privilege of sending a
few items. The mines in this neigbborhood are
paying well, and promise lucrative harvest to
claim owners during the coming winter. Inc
claims of Foust & HUI, Whitmore Boynion,
C. N. Fox & Co., and many Others which cam
not now mention are paying beyond Tue most
ardent expectations Of the owners
Prospects, which indicate the existence OF a
rich and extensive mining section, bave recently
been discovered four miles south Of this place
Quite extensive preparations are being made by
Comstock & Kimba to test The richness of this
new discovery as soon as everything Is IN order.
The claim they have located is situated about
one hundred wards west OF Trinity river, but the
ground rises abruptly from the waters edge,
Consequently they are obliged to bring on water
before they can 90 anything. In few days
mers ,h4ir ditch win be finished and they VIII be
prepared to-well, Mr., Editor, will not posi-
lively state what but the whole country may be
astoniyhpd when it hears the result. AT all
events things look favorable, now,
In nv opinion our township cannot be excelled
in the State either in the richness Of its mines or
the general good disposition OF its citizens
Everybody is decidedly son it," During the
mast week have had the inexpressbc pleasure
Of seeing a couple joined in the holy bonds of
matrimony, notice of which send herewith.
God bless them and multiply their happiness, Is
my earnest wish
The usual quiet of our village has been dis
turbed by three regular knock-downs within the
past week, Luckily no one was badly hurt. To-
morrow understand an opposition hotel is to be
opened Considerable eXeiiem prevails and
the impression seems to be that there is fun
ahead
A great many persons daily pass here return
inc from the new EIdorado of the North" "
many Of them looking as though their fondest
anticpatons had not been realized"
Write again, Oscar"

WHAT HUMBOLDT IS DoING.-The citizens of

any other in the State in liberal donations to the
Patriotic Fund. Last week we mentioned that
the town of Eureka alone had given some $500,

Relief Fund.

The people of this county are far behind. as
vet. the citizens of other counties In the State,
II the amount contributed to the Relief Fund for
the benefit of the sick and wounded soldiers
The residents of Weavervile have done consd
erable in the way of collecting for the Fund
The county has already sent to the Sanitary
Committee the sum of S2,40s This amount will
be doubled if the outside precincts contribute in
proportion to their means and numbers
We do not apprehend the necessity of remind
ing the true and loyal citizens of the duty they
owe to themselves and to the brave men who
have left their homes and families to fight the
battles in defense of constitutional liberty. and
who have pered their lives to resist treason
which is active in its efforts to destroy our Gov
ernment
1t is known that there are few mschievous
and Shiny politicians at work, whose business it
is TO pander TO the smiles OF secessonists by
choking the patriotic sentiment, and suppress
ing the beralty of those who feel desirous OF
contributing 10 the Fund. We have heard OF
instances in which political aspirants in thi,
county have given to the Fund, as blind. in
order TO make their influence the stronger and
more effeetual, yet to prevent others from aiding
the Fund they make insinuations against the hon
esty of those into whose hands the money is en-
trusted. Notwithstanding the hypocrisy OF this
class of petty, ignorant lalsfers, every dollar
which is given TO the Fund goes to alleviate the
suferings of some brave fellow who has been
wounded in the cause of his country, eliotting III
return the grateful prayers of the recipient
Let the citizens in the twenty precincts not yet
heard from rally in the cause Of the sick and
wounded volunteers, and by so doing have the
qualification of knowing that they have in an
important particular served country which has
so long afforded them the greatest blessings Of
GOOD government.

THE M1NryG IXrEREsr-Wc have not devoted
the usual space in our paper to this interest for
some months past. The foods Of last winter
made sad havoc with mining improvements not
only on Trinity river, but every stream in the
county. The gold product Of the present year
has consequently not been as large by at least
one third as it otherwise would have been, al
though the falling off has not been visby felt.
But the mining interest Of Trinity has in
great measure recovered from the severe blow Of
last winter. From every section Of the county
we hear that the old mining appliances have
been replaced, or are approaching compile tion.-
Wheels, fumes, dams, reservoirs and bitches
have been rebuilt and repaired, aud everything
promises well for lucrative season to miners
aud those engaged in mining enterprises. The
terrible feshet Of last winter resulted in the dis
coyery Of new diggings in different portions of
the county which will be opened and worked as
room as water comes. We prophecy an immense
gold yield for Trinity during the next twelve
months, and hope that our friends in the differ
ent mining oeaities will not forget to furnish US
occasionally with report Of what is going on,
that proper note may be made Of the yield OF our
mines.

PERsONAL.--Judge j. S. Pitzer and OaE. Will
liams, Esq. have formed copartnership in the
practice Of law, and decided to locate at Virgin
ia City, Nevada Territory. We regret to have
them leave Trinity, but hope their new location
will secure to them the success their merit and
ability deserves. The eminent ability of those
gentlemen as lawyers, added to their industry
aud skill in the discharge of professional duties,
will no doubt place them at once amongst the
most distinguished of the Virginia City bar-a
position they have both held for many years in
the northern portion Of this State
Gentlemen, possessing as they do, undopbtcd
integrity and reliability OF character cannot fail
to obtain an ample share Of the business to be
done IN the courts where they may practice. We
understand that other members of the Weaver
vile bar intend leaving in the spring.

EFFECTS OF AMALGAMATIoN IN THE SoUTH.-
The Marysvile Express is horrifed at the evident
disposition of "aboltjonists " 10 amal lgamate
with negroes, all to result from the President's
late emancipation proclamation. The Sacra-
mentO Union thinks it is merely matter Of con
lecture what aboltionism may yet accomplish,
but that it is already manifest what slavery has
done in the swarms of mulattos, quadroons and
octoroons away down South in Dixie"
AS an Instance of the result in at least some
portions of the South, the Chaplain Of the 5lst
Indiana Regiment writes from Stevenson, Ala
bama, in regard to the color of the slaves in that
region
"Amoug them end the black the copper the yellow
aud the pure white. is subject of much converse
ton the very few old fashioned black slaves in the south
suppose there are not five in hundred Your read
ers have not heard of Northern analgamat ton On this
much has been written and more has been said than on
almost any other subject and yet with the intelligent
and unpre udccd, save in the cay of the demagogue it

best inturmation-but drives his grandchildren if
not his children by the crack of the ersees whip

style, to deliver lectures to the true patriots of
