Weekly Trinity journal. [volume] (Weaverville, Calif.) 1857-1972, 1864-01-16
NINTH YEAR.

NINTH YEAR.
With this number the JOURNAL commences the
Ninth Year of its existence, announcement
which we feel no little pride in sending forth to
the reading world. And it affords us pleasure
to say that at no period of its existence has the
paper been in a more prosperous condition than at
the present time, Notwithstanding the fiery ordeal
through which the Office passed few months
since, destroying every particle of material on
which the JOURNAL was formerly printed. 1t is
proper for US to acknowledge here that we were
only enabled to recover from the disaster through
the kind interposition of friends who came for
ward in the moment of greatest need and cheer
fully aided with means to re-establish the
JOURNAL. OF those who so aided us we shall
not be forgetfal, but shall labor to the end that
they may not have cause to regret that their as
sistAnce has been unworthily bestowed.
We commence the Ninth Year full of hope for
the future. Our list of subscribers is increasing
week by week, Notwithstanding the population
of the county is less to-day than at any time
since printed the first Number of the first
volume of the JOURNAL. We shall labor to make
it worthy of'this increased patronage-to make
it faithful and reliable medium of news to our
people.
Our friends will excuse us for reminding them
that the commencement of volume is fit time
for an exhibition of that substantial generosity
which serves to lubricate the wheels of intellec-
tual and moral, as well as physical, machinery.
For the very liberal patronage of the past we
renew our thanks, and pledge our patrons that
no effort shall be spared to merit its continuance
LAST lssUE.-With the present issue the Trim
ity National ceases to exist, and with its demise
ends the last attempt that will ever be made to
establish Democratic organ in Trinity county
Undertaking the publication
In good faith we have struggled for almost a
year, under the most discouraging circums tances,
and have exhausted every honorable expedient
known to the practical printer, to establish the
paper, and 1t is only when we find ourself stand
ing almost alone, and our resources have dwin-
died down until they might appropriately be
compared to the " little end of nothing whitfield
down to a point that we strike our colors and
" give up the ship. Carter's Fare,ceH TO the
Democracy.
That calls to mind the following extract from
the obituary notice of the Trinity Times, penned
by our friend Oonmy, now of the Shasta Courier,
after that paper had been purchased by the pro-
prietors Of the JOURNAL, in March, 1857 He
said
The Democratic party have not supported
me (; nay, some Of the most prominent members
Of that party threw every obstacle in their power
In my way to success. And these are the very
men who now say that have 81 sold :" the Demo-
cratic party. But instead of having sold the
party, those who like to be considered the lead
ers of that party have sold me. | have gained

CoRREcTIoN-We stated two weeks ago that
Henry H. Wells, an old citizen of this place had

Douglas City, has permitted us to read a letter
from old friend Jesse Failing, proprietor of
the Orleans Hotel, Umatilla City, the Column
bia, in which he writes that Wells died in the
Grand Ronde Valley, Oregon, where he had en-
gagged to teach school for the winter. Failing
writes that he believes one-half the old popula-
tion of Trinity passed that way Boise-ward, last
simmer, and invites those who are coming to
give him call.

into effect, on the first of the present month
