THArs WHAT'S TIE MATTER. THE Marys-
Vile Express in reply to recent query of the
JOURNAL. true to its dirty instincts, re-ramps a
nasty squib which originated with the black
guard editor of the dead and damned old Pime,
and then lies in asserting that it directed to
the editor of this paper. 1t all in regard to
typographical error - which the editor OF
the Express, who, by the way, spells God with a
little ''g' says the printers were guilty of. We
don't believe a word of it have seen too many
such bulls " in the Express columns to believe
that the printers are all blockheads. Printers
generally follow copy. But in the face of this
= typographical error comes another, only
worse. The San Francisco Flag says that in
quoting the beautiful poem of 'The Snow the
Marysville Express assassnates the poet in a
particularly atrocious manner. When the poet
spoke of the snow as - dancing, flirting, skim
ming along the Express has it {" dancing,
skirmshing alone !" Alas for the poor poet !
When the editor of the Express read "proof,' a
vision of the termination of his disloyal career
probable passed before his mind and he thought
that - dancing, skirmishing all alone y with the
atmosphere was the correct reading. That 8

TRINITY s REPRESENTATIVES, on THE BATTLE
FIELD-Californa has earned for herself proud
place in the sisterhood of States by the I'M
swerving loyalty of her sons, and the noble gen
crosity with which her people have always re-
sponded to each call that has been made in the
name of patriotism or humanity. Not alone,
however, through the medium of the ballot-box
or through contributions to the Sanitary and
Christian Commissions, has this loyalty been
manifested. The muster-rol of every one of our
grand armies will show the names of men who,
when the red hand of treason was raised against
the Flag of our country, rallied to its defence
Not alone has every call of the War Department
been promptly met by the required number OF
troops but thousands who doubted the DISPOSE
ton which might be made of the troops enlisted
on this coast. FASTENED to the East, and after a
few brief words of farewell to the friends from
whom they had been separated for years, joined
the quotas of other States, and took their places
in the battles van. Many were of indie
pendent means others had toled year after wear
with disappointment as their only reward; the
prospect of better fortune was bright before
them. but all was lost sight of in the danger
which menaccd the country the golden promises
of the future were cast aside they enrolled
themselves in the lists of their country de-
Tenders.
Trinity stands high in the list of counties
which have given their best and bravcst. Not
only has she sent forth two companies of her
own, but nearly every other Company in the
seven California Regiments has its representa-
tives from Trinity county Scattered along this
coast from Vancouver's Island to the boundary
of California; we find the names of former citi-
zens of Trinity. Utah New Mexico and Arizona
have each and all within their borders those
whose thoughts will often turn to their mountain
homes in - Old Trinity. SO too among the
battlc-staned lcgions of Grant and Sheridan. of
Sherman and Thomas Some have died Il SOL
diers death upon the battlefield, others persisted
under the inhuman treatment of 'chivalry " ut
Belle Isle and Libby. Others again are now
prisoners in rebel hands, but none have left a
record of which. as Trintarians, We cannot well
be proud.
Actuatcd by such motives they were, they
could not fail to become the best of soldiers
Let us for Il moment look ut the record of those
we can at this moment recall to mind. Wood
ward, discharged for promotion ; Ely, promoted
Morris, who suffered everything but death at
Libby; Passage, promoted Marsh, promoted,
and now n prisoner; Small, wounded George

whom he used PAINFULLY to denominatc @ John
mics, it was, for FIVE of them fell under his
sabre before he taken. Wherever there is
need for soldiers in the Union cause to-day,
Trinity has her representatives. God be with
them.

GRACE STATIONS LEcruRE.-The lecture an
nounced for last Sunday evening went by default
on account of the unf;lyorable weather, and was
announced for Wednesday evening. But the
weather was nearly unproptious on that eve
ning. and the attendance slim for this place, on

room and comparatively small number of listen
ers. somewhat disconnected Miss Stanton, we
think Yet the lecture is generally spoken OF
by those who listened to it in the most applau-
siye and satisfactory terms. The speaker COM
menced with glowing tribute to California and
the Pacific coast for the liberal manner in which
they had shared their substance with the suffer
ing heroes of the Union armies proceeded to de-
lineate the terrible suteringS and priyations ex-
perienced by loyal men and women of the South
in their endeayors to escape the reign OF rebel
terror. Scenes Of hospital experience were por-
trayed, and vivid description given of the
two days battle at Pittsburg Landing, up to the
very moment when victory rested upon our STAN
dards, and the sangunary conflict closed. She
closed with eloquent appeal to remain stead
fast in the good cause, believing the end to be
near. The lecture, throughout, was listened to
with the most profound attention.
Miss Stanton had an appointment for Douglas

| HOOPS RETREAT AND Loss.-The following dis
patch, dated New York, Dec. 23d, is the last
Eastern news received up to the time of going TO
press:
The Times special dispatch dated Franklin,
Tenn, 22d, says: The rebel retreat from Frank
lin to Duck river beggars all description. Hood
told his corps commanders to get off the best
way could with their commands. The rebel ar
my is now beyond Columbia. The railroad is
but little impaired. Trains to Spring Hill.
| Telegraphic communication is all right i'll all
directions. Johnsonville is not destroyed. The
rebel loss during the campaign amounts to seven
teen thousand men, fiftyone cannon and eighteen
General officers. The number killed at Franklin
was 400 the wounded $500 and 900 were
| taken prisoners. Before Nashville and in retreat
| to Columbia, the rebels had 5000 killed and
wounded and s, 900 were made prisoners. The
| Union loss at Franklin 1000, and before
Nashville less than 1000. The total Union loss
will not exceed 1000 with two Generals slightly
wounded. Hood has pontoons above the shoals
| on the Tennessee river, where our gunbOats
cannot reach them. Hood marched on Franklin
with 40, 900 men and sixty-fve pieces of artil-
lery. He will have lost half his men.
