LOWER TRINITY AND THE INDIANS-The resi-
dents along the lower Trinity, commencing at
Cox's Bar and running to the South Fork, a dis
tance Of thirty miles, are in constant dread of an
attack from the Indians. The volunteer forces
now in Humboldt are fast driving them from
that county into Trinity, and that portion of our
county adjacent to Humboldt being sparscly pop
ulated, offers fine field for their savage depre.
dations. The women and children are being fast
removed from the threatened district, aud the
farmers and miners along that portion of the rv-
er feel justly indignant at the bad management
of the State and Federal authorities that will
permit some four or five hundred troops now op.
Grating in Humboldt to drive these sayages into
II defenceless neghborhood to reenact the blood Y
county upon the citizens of southwestern Trini-
ty. Any one knowing the geography of the two
counties, and possessing four grains of sense,
would at once see that one Of the five companies
now operating in Humboldt, would be Of infinite
ly more service if stationed in or about the sec
tion of country lying between main Trinity aud
the South Fork. There they would act as guard
and protection to the citizens of the lower por-
tion of this county.
We understand that the officer in command in
Humboldt county says that in the event of In-
dian depredations, he will send a company Of
volunteers to Trinity. This will be but poor con-
ISOLATION to murdered people if the authorities
intend TO do us service, let them act immed
ately, aud send company to secure from desc

Some of the secession sympathizers,
who have been Illuminating their censures
against the government because of its
efforts to put down the rebellion have
very suddenly become Mortified at the
usurpation which they profess to have
discovered has been committed, because
they say reasonable Journals which have
been aiding and abetting the rebels in
arms, are not permitted to convey their
poison through the mails. These gentry
forget that under all the administrations
of the democracy" of which they would
make the world believe they are so much
ennmored, the power of discriminating
against the transmission through the
mails of any journal whose doctrines were
not supposed to be in accordance with the
wishes of the Southern oligarchs, in rela-
ton to their peculiar" institution, was
always exercised, and these professed
lovers Of democracy" never could see
the injustice or unconstitutiOnalitY of the
course pursued--it was all right then, to
discriminate, because of the supposed dan
ger to the negro interest involved although
the darkey hears more in a single day
from the lips of his master or his masters
associates, relative to the prospect and
doings of anti.slayery, than he would
have learned in lifetime from the circu-
lation of those Journals in which the
subject matter concerning their race was
discussed--butno now, when the rankesttrea-
son is daily sputtered forth by the seces-
sion sheets and their career is cut short by
the governmentthere is terrible to do a bout
the "tyTaRny'' in the case. 1t would seem
US if these pestiferous traitors eau see
nothing worthy Of consideration, or OF
good report, unless alteration of the divine
right of slavery is mixed up in it, and they
are loud in their denunciation Of all who
are not willing to go all lengths with them
in their worship, denouncing all such as
i'a6oEiGonists." The day has gone by for

From the Provideucs journal.


We commend to the special attention OF
our readers the extract which we give from
the message Of Gov. Peirpoint of Virginia.
1t contains n large part of his discussion OF
the emancipation proclamation. His Wig
orous, manly support of it is in striking
contrast with the wretched, dwelling,
pro. slavery balderdash Of some of the north.
eru opponents OF the proclamation. The
Governor, thoroughly acquainted with sla-
very and with southern character, perceive
clearly what source of strength in the
war thesrebels had in slavery, and that one
of the best ways OF striking at the rebel
lion is to strike at that. He does not at.
tach any Importance to the idea that
the proclamation has no effect beyond
our lines. He answers the various
objections which have been brought
against the proclamation, and most heartily
commends 1t. He recognizes, too, the fact
that this is contest in which we are vim
dicating the rights of free labor and work
ing men. Noble words be has spoken,
worthy in spirit of the great men who have
made the name of Virginia ilIustrious in
other days. II is encouraging to hear
such language on the soil Of that State

The N.wa.

We we're in hopes that later news than
we published yesterday in our extra, would
relieve the uncertainty which settles
around the report from the battle field at
fredericksburg. But up to this wfi.ing,
we lave 40 renewal of hostjlities to report.
Undoubtedly an engagement occurred yes
terday if the enemy did not erAcuate their
position. The battle of Saturday, although
but preliminary and .:indecfsive, seems, by
the loss of officers, to have been quite
bloody. The rebels have all the advantage
of position, having deliberately chosen
their points of defense on the hills bask of
fredericksburg aud fortified them. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether they can hold
their:works, and whether, if defeated there.
they can fall back on still stronger line
ofsdsfense. D ~
Unless news of yesterdays results arrives
before We go to press. we shall look for it
early this forenoon.
