FoRM UNION LEAGUEs.-We wish in as brief a
manner as possible to call on the loyal citizens
of every precinct in the county to form Union
Leagues at once In Ohio, Illinois, Iowa, Wis
consin, New York, and in fact every loyal State
in the Union leagues are being formed for the
purpose of more thorough organization of the
Union element Loyal citizens should not be de-
ceived by the falsehoods continually uttered by
the treason sympathizing leaders aud papers of
the State.
We speak knowingly in regard TO the ends
desired to be obtained by these organizations.
We know that the sympathiZers with treason lie
when they say that the objects of these Leagues
ate any other than pure and patriotic. The or
gunzaton proscribes nothing but treason, admits
none but uncompromisng Union men, and inter-
feres in no way with religious or political opinion.
1t is intended as league of loyal men-men who
will stand up for the preservation of this Gov
ernment to the last. What truly loyal man can
not do this A lourshing League has been or
ganzed at Douglas City, and if it has not already
that number will soon be one hundred strong.
1t is composed of loyal men from all former par
ties, although we are Informed that majority of
those already admitted members of the
Douglas Democratic organization. They are
Abolition traitors " in the eyes or dlsloyal
men. of course. Again say, organize Union
Leagues in every precinct, that the world may
know who are loyal and who sympathize with
treason. The Douglas City League will furnish
copies of the constitution and working ritual,
provided the application comes signed by parties
properly qualified by attestaton as to their 10y
atty and devotion to this Government
FILL UP THE RANKs.-We desire to call at
tention of Union citizens to the fact that there
are still few vacancies in the ranks of the Doug
las City and Halleck Rifles. 1t is desirable to
have the ranks filled speedily as possible, and
we feel quite certain there are patriotic citizens
enough who desire to aid and encourage military
organizations, to fill the vacancies. Both these
companies are established on permanent foot
ing, and we'll olfcered. Additional arms will be
furnished whenever an increase in membership
REQUIRES them. Lieut.. Neblett, of the llalleck
Rifles has received letter from Brgadier Gen.
Thomas j. Butler, Commanding 5th Brigade, say
ing that Trinity will probably be added to the
9th Brigade, now composed of the counties of
Shasta and Tehaina. Companies are being form
ed in those counties, and it is expected that a
grand Parade and Review Of the Brigade will
take place at Shasta early in the summer. Gen.
Butler further says Bill has been introduced III
the Legislature giving each Company of so men
81 900, to assist in unilorming and equipping
them, provided they report themselves as organ
lied militia within sixty days after its passage
Send in your names The Haleck's meet on
Friday evening, the Douglas City Rifles on Sat

QuARTz-Much attention is being turned to
quartz prospecting just now There is no room
for doubt but that rich leads exist in different
parts of the county, and we believe some of them
will be developed and worked within year. 1t
is hard to convince us that county which has
furnished its millions yearly for the past twelve
years, and in different portions of which rich
specimens of gold quartz have been from time to
time found in the course of placer mining, does
not contain rich hidden lodes. If the hundreds
who are leaving for Humboldt, Washoe, and 9th
er sections, would devote their time and money
to prospecting here they would be better off at
the years end.
