LETTER FROM DorLAs CrrY.-Our friend - ia
einto - writes as follows under date of the 18th
inst. ;-Deae Gqjor: If this place was on the
Rapidan think it would dry the mud sufficient
ny for Meade to q on to Richmond. At present
dl is quiet the Trinity. The mining army is
hasily engaged recognizing the suiee boxes
Some are already suicing. | have heard Of but
or two clean ups-they from drift dirt. The
Stuart brothers took out about S., 900.
All the talk down this way is Boise-in fact I'll
trho do not talk Boise and vote Boise, are con-
sidered sap-heads. Nobody but myself talks
Humboldt. and mean Humboldt in two three
months, provided Father Abraham doesn't need
my services. If he does @ I'm down to hire
out" as the Yanks say. I'm doing little
horse mining myself When clean up will post
YOU as to the assay. expect to take out in the
meantime about thousand in gold FIVE hundred
in greenbacks, and not little in % fiat your
back The last am exceedingly partial to.
Our Temperance Society is quite an institution.
Don't belong TO it myself because, be because
don't care to q sign away my liberties. That
not what's the matter, either it's be because
love whiskey | might as well make a clean
breast Of it. Went last Sabbath day to hear Mr.,
Vinton, and pronounce him able and talented
lecturer-one calculated to give general satisfac-
tion wherever he goes. His head is pretty level,
and as the people say down IN - Rackensac,
T. ascertain right smart
In Il few weeks more the miners will be clean
ing up; then shall be able to give you some mi
ming items of interest. Send our Squire home
quick, will you? Esquire says he won't go /; has
such a surfeit of business on his docket that lac
couldn't if he would is just coming money!
Projection NREDED.-Therei is every indication
that the Humboldt Indian campaign will be Wig
lie, al In adj tn 40 hat +
tallon Of Mountaineers, two companies of in
fantry and Capt. Pico's company of native Cal
ifornian cavalry, have been ordered thither-
The season has arrived when the Indians must
leave their mountain resorts, and it seems to us
entirely possible with the force now there to rid
Humboldt county of the red enemy within the
next three months.
As soon as active operations commence it is
entirely probable that many Indians will seek
refuge in their old resorts along the Trinity and
New River, and in Hay Fork and Ilyampom val
lies Bands of Indians known to be prow-
ing in the mountains between Big Flat and South
Fork Measures should be Immediately taken
for the protection of the remaining settlers in
exposed localities. This can be most effectually
done by stationing company mt Burnt Ranch
from whence it can operate along the Trinity and
across to the settlements on the southern border.
We call attention to this matter now because we
are satisfied that the Indians are pushed this way
they can lust as easily destroy the settlements
referred to, or the towns of North Fork and Big
Flat MS they did those on the lower river. We
suggest that the military authorities he petition
ed in regard to this necessity.
MALFEAsANCE IN 0FFICE.-Under the new Act
relating to Roads and Highways in Trinity coun-
w. road receipts ordered printed by the Board
of Supervisors. and furnished to the respective
overseers by the county Clerk, which oficeris re-
qurcd to sign every receipt SO issued We pub
lished an item to this effect two weeks ago for
the benefit of those interested. We are informed
that Mr.. p Cullen, of Sturdevant district, IN MT
Ter disregard of the provisions of that Act, has
had two separate lots of receipts printed-one al
the Trinity National, the other at the Shasta Con-
ri,r office. We have seen several of the first
named receipts, bearing the signature of Mr.. Gull
10, az road oyerseer but not that of the county
Clerk as required by law. Every one of thesi
rcceipts are worthless, and the persons holding
them can demand the overseer to refund the
amount paid.
came TO the JOURNAL office two or three weeks
AGO and applied Cor road reco. pts. We informed
him in the presence of foreman OF the office, anC
Richard Clifford, Esq, that we had no authorit,
TO furnish them, and referred him to the Clerk
Mr. Clifford also explained the proper course tt

DEAN! DEAp!! Dead! The Trinity Nation
~ was commenced less than a year ago with
flourish of trumpets. and with the avowed pur
pose of - dousing the glim of the JOURNAL
We don't give the late publisher credit for hav
ing ever dreamed of accomplishing such purpose
but il was the boast of those who urged him on
But they did not succeed, even with the aid of {
destructive fire, which stripped us of everything
hut which left the National unframed. Fol
those who originated the enterprise we have nj
svnrstbv-we are only sorry that they were moi
compelled to support it, and undergo what thu
victimized publisher has. Yet it is just as We
predicted-just as We told Mr.. Carter month;
before the paper ever saw the light, when he
told us his in.entions. The clique which wa:
orincipaliy instrumental in starting the paper new
or haze and never will furnish any considerable
support to a newspaper We wish Carter better
luck in his next undertaking.
On. EDWARD TRAsK-The family of this ole
and esteemed citizen left for San Francisco las
