STATE FAIR AND OuR MINEs.-In looking
over the proceedings of the State Fair nov
being held at Sacramento. we see that but
two entries Of mineral have been made from
the many valuable mines of this county
copper specimens from East Fork Clear Greek
and copper specimens from the Mammoth
Ledge. the location of which we are not ad
vised. II is truly marvellous that the owners
of the many valuable mines existing in this
county have thus far overlooked the many
advantages presented by the managers Of the
State Fair, for exhibiting the wealth Of
Shasta county. We can conceive of no pos
sible place where specimens of rich ore could
be exhibited to better advantage than at the
State Fair, where people from all parts Of the
State have assembled by thousands to exam
inc the wonderful products of the State, and
not among the least objects of attraction are
the mineral specimens fIom nearly ell parts
of this State, and Nevada and Colorado ter
ritories.
We know of scores of valuable claims, 10.
Gated in Pittsburg, Cow creek, French Gulch
and other mining districts, which should
have had place among the long list of min
erals now an exhibition at Sacramento. Do
the owners of these valuable mines wish to
keep the great richness of their claims from
being known by those persons who are seek
ing an opportunity to invest their capital in
mining property? or is it lack of interest
in the holders of our mines that makes the
showing from this county so meagre? 1t is
now too late to remedy the mistake at the
present Fair; but we hope our citizens will
awaken to the fact that State Fairs are the
best places to advertise their rich ores, be-
fore another annual Fair takes place, and
then let this county make such a showing as
we know her mines can make, and the re-
suit will prove that Shasta county, in min
eral wealth, is second to none in the State.

GOULD AND CURRY. OF all successful min.
ing enterprises the Gould and Curry carries
off the palm. The share holders are more
than satisfied. Money for investment can
not be better placed, excepting perhaps to
procure an outfit from the weh-klown firm
of Houston, Hastings L Co., clothiers and
tailors, of Montgomery ST., corner of Suffer,
San Francisco. One of their business suits
is something that will give satisfaction to
everybody.

EDITORIAL DuEL.-A duel took place on
Tuesday morning last at Stampede Valley,
N. T., between Thomas Fitch, of the Virgi-
mia Union. and Jos. I. Goodman, of the Ter
rtorial Enterprise. At the first fire Fitch
was shot through the right knee, badly shat
tering the bone. The ball was Immediately
extracted. Capts. Rowe and Fleeson were
Fitch's seconds, and Major Ferrand and Cy.
rus Brown were seconds for Goodman. The
weapons used were five shooters. Distance
FIVE paces-fre, advance and fire again.

ANOTHER CHINAMAN RoBBED.-We learn
that on Thursday night last Chinaman on
horseback was stopped on the road, near the
hospital, by two men, who demanded his
money. He handed over seven dollars and
half, all he had. The Chinaman then re-
presented that when he got to town he would
have no money to feed his horse, upon which
they returned him four bits. Generous

field as their candidate for District Judge.
The copperhead papers in the district have
been flying his name at the head of their col
umns in connection with that of Tod Robin
son, R. 7. Sprague, and other known poll
ticians of the same stripe, and yet we see
that Judge Daingerfeld publishes letter in
the Yreka Journal of the Goth of September,
in which he says:
II am now candidate for reelection to
fill the Judgship, which l have filled in the
9th Judicial District for the past nine years,
having been called upon to endorse no plat
form Of fprincigles italics our OWN and be-
ing at liberty to vote as please on all ques-
ton, ,"&c.
One peculiar fact of the matter attending
his being selected by tie copperheads of this
county as their choice, transpired in their
convention after they had elected all of their
delegates to the District convention one
enthusiastic cop. arose in the convention and
announced that they had chosen one delegate
that was a member of a g Union League"
and that he was afraid that he would not
vote for Judge Dangerfeld in the convention
to which he was elected a member A mo.
ton was then made to substitute simon pure
copperhead in the place ofthe Union Lacquer,
the motion was carried and the Judge had .
full delegation of his friends. Having never
declined their nomination, he will be held by
the loyal voters as one who would forsake his
country in her time of greatest need.

a CoNTRAcT-We understand that Messrs.
Jones & Co., of Lower Springs, have made a
contract with Mr.. James Loag for crushing
two hundred tons of quartz from their ledge
Mr.. Loag's mill is situated near Middletown,
is being put in thorough repair, and will be
in running order in few days. The rock
will have to be hauled about five miles to the
mill. We have no doubt but that other com.
panies will avail themselves of this opportu-
nity to obtain fair test of the value of their
lodges in this vicinity, as soon as the present
contract is completed

the residence of Mr.. W. W. Tracy was bro

most of the articles were keep sakes, and one
ring having been handed down through the
family of Mrs. Tracy for upwards of one
hundred years. The robbers effected an en-
trance through window, during the abb

Letter from Gen. Fitz John Porter.
From the n Y. journal of Commerce.
The following letter, from one of the
bravest and best of our soldiers, will be
read with interest, and is valuable for the
purposes of history:
MoRRIsrowN, N. j., Sept. ~, 1868.
My DEAR SIR: have read with great inter-
est your series OF articles publsht in the
.jonrnM of Commerce.. on General Mcclellan.
Having been with the Army OF the Potomac
during the whole of the Peninsular campaign,
| bear cheerful testimony to the accuracy of
your statements in reviewing The operations of
this campaign. and to the sOundneSS of your
conclusions. In the siege of Yorktown, in the
capture of Hanover Court House, in the battle
of Gainess Mill and in the battle of Malvern,
j. became my duty to bear part somewhat
conspicuous l have not the slightest hesita-
ton in the expression Of my OpiuiOn that the
course pursued in besieging Yorktown instead
of making an assault upon the cnrmys lines,
was not only Justified bat demanded by the
circumstances existing at the time our army
reached Yorktown, and l have not seen or
heard anything since the enemy evacuated that
post which would induce me TO alter that opin.
ion.
If had been joined by General McDowell's
force at Hanover Court House, ON the 9th of
May, 1852. or within Il week thereafter there is
very little doubt that our army. thus REIN
forced, could have made successful assault ON
the Notifications at Richmond
But what induces me to address this note to
you at this time, is your recent review Of the
battle of Gainess Mill. Our forces, which
amounted to 81. 900 men. were under my CON-
mand in that battle. The force of the enemy
brought against us was more than double our
numbers. If in this battle, l had been rein-
forced in time with ID, 600 fresh troops, the
enemy, who was repulsed three times, would
have been finally driven back, and the battle
won on our side
So, too. at Malvern, where commanded the
Fifth Army Corps; if at the termination Of that
fresh troops, l have little doubt that we could
have marched into Richn. ond but as it was,
we were too much exhausted to make an az
gressive movement after the enemy was re-
pulsed.
You are perfectly right ia stating that all we
wanted to insure success before Richmond was
the reinfOrcements which had been repeatedly
called for by General Mcclellan and which, by
vigorous and prompt effort, could have been
supplied. But one ihing was fully demonstrate
ed in the battles before Richmond. and that
was this brave and desperate as the soldiers
of the enemy proved themselves, they were.
over-matched by our loyal troops.
am sir, with high respect,
Your obedient servant, F. j. PORTER.
