Fun AHEAD -DopaE AND HAYWARD ARE Con-
ISG.-As the rosy light of 4" old Sol I" heraldeth
the coming of day, so did the rosy countenance
of Frank Ball e. Lokalitems of the JOURNAL
seven years ago. betoken the coming of some
thing good, as he walked into our sanctum on
Wednesday morning. "What's up l'' we asked
" Ossian's coming p was Franks reply, and he
smiled. And we smiled in our gladness to hear
that Ossan g. Dodge, the inimitable comic vo-
calist and humorist to see and hear whom, in
our youthful days, we used to retrench candy
and gingerbread expenses, was about to give one
of his funny entertainments in this town. Next
Monday evening, at the Theater, we say under
standingly, there wiH be fun! No niger minstrel
vulgarity, but real, refined amusement, such as
ladies can 60 and witness, and wish to 60 again.
With him comes the sweetest ballad singer of the
age-Wm. Hayward-one of whose songs
Mother Dear, o Pray For Me-" is said by
those who have heard him, to be alone worth the
price of admission. We hope our citizens will
turn out en- masse, and show them that a worthy
entertainment is appreciated in Weaverville.
On Tuesday evening they will sing at Douglas
City and on Wednesday at Lewiston. Let the
houses be crowded.

LOOK OUT FOR THE RASCAL!

p6- JAMES c. MURPHY, lately one of the
proprietors of Brewery in this place, abscond-
ed last week, carrying with him several hundred
dollars which would have remained with his
creditors had said MURPHY been an honest
man. But having proved himself VILLAIN,
we desire to warn the people of Idaho, whittier
he has gone, to look out for him, having suffer-
ed in common with others, through his rascali-
ty. MURPHY is an Irishman, about feet 10
inches, fair complexion, light brown hair, blue
eyes, and rather smooth-tongued. Talks fast,
and may easily be mistaken (by his agitated
style of conversational for a man who has stolen
something recently.

The LADIES MovNG.-Next Wednesday even
ing the women of Weaverville will meet at Ar
mory Hall for the purpose of appointing neces-
sary committees and making arrangements for q
grand demonstration in behalf of the Sanitary
Fund, some time during the coming month
This is movement which meets our hearty ap-
probation and we would like to see as many
present as can attend. The object for which the
meeting will be convened is most laudable one
one which should at once enlist the sympathies
and cooperation of every loyal and patriotic
person. 1t is some time since direct appeal
has been made to our citizens for their aid in
this good work. They then responded nobly,
and we believe the present movement will meet
with similar response. In several places in this
State where Sanitary Balls and Fairs have been
held, the most complete success has resulted
and many Thousands of dollars have found their
way to the treasury of the Sanitary Commission.
California has done nobly from every part of
her rich domain a golden stream has flowed to
solace the dying hours and alleviate the suferngs
of wounded heroes, but our own county does not
occupy as high position as we could wish
This does not arise from any feeling of apathy
towards those who are fighting our battles, but
rather from the lack of systematic effort to that
end. .~t.
We say then God speed the women in their
good work, and whatever measures they may
conclude on will receive our cordial assent

TELEGRAPHIc.-We have come to the conclu-
sion that the Telegraph is an Internal nuisance.
Just when the news is important the line gives
out We were enabled to issue an extra ON Tues
day, and copied another on Wednesday morning
which was received in the Union of the day pre-
vious. The people berate US and in turn we
pass the compliments over to the telegraph. We
shall make arrangements to receive dispatches
from Shasta if the thing be done, as the stage
brings later news than the telegraph now -a-days.

CHRISTIAN PATRIOTIsM.

very interesting occurrence took place on
the last Sabbath in the Broadway Tabernacle
church, which seems TO touch with great dis
tinctness an important point in our national
condition. In discourse upon Christian Man.
hood, the pastor, the Rev. DIR. JOS. p. Thomp-
son, observed that the country was liable even
now to suffer from that want Of this character
in our leaders at Washington which delays tho
call for men till the great losses Of the move
ments at Richmond may possibly snatch the
victory at the last moment from our grasp.
There should BIO most vigorous movement Of
the people themselves TO supply the deficiency;
and TO send on, in advance of Government calls,
the men and the means which would supply the
prospective need, and insure favorable result.
In this movement, he called upon the church to
lead the way, and appealed to his own congre.
CATION to furnish means for securing volunteers.
The appeal Of the pastor was so cordially re.
sponded to that by Monday morning subscrp-
tons were sent to the amount of 90, 0OO-a sum
doomed equivalent to the enlistment Of some
fifteen men-and committee was appointed to
canvass the congregation for additional means
with the design Of representing that church in
the field before Richmond. by not less than
twenty-five men, What noble monument of
Christian patriotism ia s'.ei -, ,'a.. 1 t
Why should not every church do tho like'
Not many, indeed, could equal the generous
Iiborality Of the Broadway Tabernacle; but

aggregate of 10000 recruits might thus be fur

army-enough to make his advance upon Rich
mond steady and sure. r.f
The danger is. that the large losses to which
every offensive movement like his is liable, may
so reduce his force as to battle his utmost efforts;
or, If not this, to make his victory barren one,
in consequence of his not having men enough
to pursue it to its full result. If our churches
could thus supply the deficiency by a general
and decided movement at this critical juncture,
it nigh, be the means of ending the war.
Let our churches ponder it, A few public
spirited Christians in each church, thoroughly
impressed with tho obligation Of patriotism,
may, BY rapid and generous efort--callng for
subscriptions from Others, and heading the list

church. Why may we not have universal
