MEANT IT.-James Gallagher, once District At
torney for Trinity county and for years a Dem.
ocraiic leader of the Brecknridge.McC
faith, left here in July last Gallagher was an
openly avowed sympathzer with secession, yet
honest enough to acknowledge that he believed
secession to be rebellion, aud that if it failed it
must suffer the penalty. Many believed when
Gallag CHER left that he intended to enter the reb-
ell service at the first opportunity. A letter has
been lately received from him which, if we are
correctly Informed, proves such conjactures to
have been correct He was in Arkansas, and
was probably taken prisoner at the capture of
Arkansas Post. There are sneaking, contempti-
Bile rebel sympathizers left for whom Union peo-
pie entertain less respect than they do for Gal
lagher, and who we had much sooner see become
targets for Federal bullets Gallagher fights for
the cause he has espoused, they are only coward
ly bloWhards.
CoNTNGENr FUND.-The following is a copy
of Assemblyman Personette's Bill creating IA
Contingent Fund for Trinity county (referred to
in the letter of our Sacramento correspondent
published on the first page:

ExPLANAToRY.-M Muligan Co. say in a card
that we msrepresented their intentions in local
item published in last weeks paper. We had no
intention of doing so merely gave the state
ments of the parties whose names appeared in
connection with the matter. Mr.. Thomas author
ICES us to say that there was no misstatement so
far as he was concerned His proposition was To
extend the llume direct to Main street, on the
north side of the Theater, which would obviate
the necessity of any bend in it.

organization of his company, which is to be rails
ed in Trinity county We hear already of quite
a number who intend joining the company.
LARGE BlRD.-We saw at IIudspeh tailor
shop, few days ago, the head and claw of what
when living must have been a noble specimen of
the California Golden Eagle. The bird was kill
ed on Trinity mountain. and was probably the
largest ever shot in the county-measnring feet
4 inches from tip to tip OF wings We may be
supersttious, but positively we never could have
had the heart to shoot such bird.
STILL ANornER.-Geo Il. Small, member of
the " Ialleck Rifles" left on Thursday morning
for San Francisco intending TO join one OF the
cavalry companies now being raised there, and
which will be mustered into service for three
years or the war, under the Massachusetts, quota

he in active service. George knows what his du
ty is, and it's safe bet he u do it.
