THE NORTHERN SrAMPEDE.-We have lately
conversed with several persons who are bent ON
following the northern excitements as soon as
the necessary preliminaries can be arranged, and
from most of them we have the assurance that
in their belief Trinity is one of the best mining
counties in the State; and perhaps on the whole
Pacific coast But they must go somewhere
have lived here long enough-and 60 they will.
1t seems useless to talk with men in regard to
this notion of following every new excitement,
but we shall simply ask the attention of those
who proprose to emigrate this season to the fol-
lowing item from the Sierra Democrat of two or
three weeks ago.
Benz. Meredith formerly a resident of this
county, who followed mining in this vicinity for
SIX years prior to So, returned to Downieville
few days since. In the year mentioned, he left
here for the Atlantic States, and in SO emigra-
ted to Pixies Peak, where he put in three years
mining to little or no purpose. From those
mines he made his way North, spending eighteen
months at Powder river, Placervle and Bannock
City, meeting with about the same success that
attended his efforts ut the Peak. He pronounces
the diggings he visited since leaving alifcrnia
comparatively worthless, excepting few claims
IN the Boise mines, which are owned almost ex-
clusively by capitalists. Saw in his rounds
thousands of who could neither obtain
labor nor procure more than pitiful subsist-
ence delving f, gold, and who would gladly re-
turn to this State could they raise the means.
Mr.. NJ. appears like straightforward, sensible
man, whose word can be relied on.s Returning
after the absence of nearly six years, he is firmly
convinced that mining region California has
no equal on this coast nor elsewhere. Those of
our mining population who place reliance in
every big story they hear of rich mines in the
distance and who prone to give them trial,
might learn wisdom from the experience of an
other by treasuring up the facts above set forth.
The money which one hundred men will re-
quire to make the trip to Boise and the labor Of
that number for season, judiciously expended
at home, would make Trinity one of the most
prosperous counties in the State.

sells of the navy, who have been captured at
different times, who reported at the Navy Yard
this morning. Among these officers are Eugi.
neers s. B. Ellis, A. Renshaw, and H. K
Steever, of this city, and Lieut.. R. L. Meade, of
the Marine Corps. They have been in various
prisons at the South, and for the most of the
time the officers were confined at Macon, GA.
From this place they were sent to Savannah,
and from thence to Richmond.
The en- listed men were kept at Anderson Vile
s. g., where they describe their suffarings to
have been perfectly horrible-not having enough
to eat, little or no medicines, and treated with
rudeness. In no place is the rebel ration
enough for the men. and even this Inadequate
ration for large portion OF the time was totally
unfit for use. They were closely guarded at
selves at a window on penalty Of being shot
Some OF them state that they have reason to
believe the Union has friends in Macon and
SavannHh, but they are satisfied that South
Carolina has but few Union lovers In it. The
officers Of the prisons gave them seven dollars
Confederate monev for one greenback, bat
they ascertaDed that on the street the ruling
price was twenty for one.
The day the prisoners left Richmond, tues
day TASTY about one thousand prisoners in that
city who had taken the oath to the Southern
Confederacy were sent South. These men,
1t Is stated, were absolutely driven to this
course, being almost starved and destitute OF
clothing.
The officers reported to Commodore Mont.
gomery at the Yard this morning, and preb-
ably to day or to. morrow, they will receive a
furlough.
