her richest deposits. They find them. too,

SOUTHERN chivalry is well illustrated by
the fact of their starving their prisoners into
helplessness, and then offering the white ones
in exchange for ours, that are well fed and
able bodied. This the chyalric South does,
while the mercenary Northerncrs tolerates
sach chivalry without retaliation, and that.
too, under the stigma of Coppcrheads that
the conduct of the war by Uncle Abe is un-
constitutional. On this one point we are half
inclined to agree with them. Our Govern
ment should starve or hang every rebel of
them until the good treatment of their pris-
oners was assured The chivairic scounGrels
recently paroled some twelve hundred of
their prisoners. to save them the trouble of
burying them. Who now doubts that there
is hell for such barbarians?

Something about Roads.

The road through this town to Yreka was
travelled the past season to a much greater
extent than any previous season. The rea-
son Of this is q very simple aud very pal
pable one, viz this was the best road. Was
the town and county benefited rhereby7 II
yes, then the attention of the proper author
tiles, and all interested, is called to the fact
that much improvement is necessary to retain
this travel The road between French Gulch
and the foot Of Trinity Mountain is in very
bad condition--so bad as to be a terror to the
initiated. and matter of most uncomfortable
surprise to the traveller, who finds the road
elsewhere on the route in such splendid con
dition. Another reason why this A1nd has
had the preference the past season is Because
of the Sacramento road having fallen into
the hands of the lawyers, and consequently
into dilapidation. This trouble is now over
come by the settlement of litigation, and the
road will be put in repair; so that without
extra efforts on the part of all interested on
this road, the travel will fall back on to that
one On the Sacramento road they claim an
advantage in distance, between the present
head of navigation and Yreka, of some twen-
ty miles or more but it is conceded by all
that the mohntain grades on this road, ALI
things else equal, are moro than sufficient to
balance the difference they claim in the
shortness of their road From the Canon
House to this town the road, thanks to our
efficient road overseer, is IN first rate repair,
and from here to French Gulch there is no
great impediment except at Whiskytown, on
Mr.. Camden's toll road. at that point
bridge is necessary. With this amendment,
and a little more work on the road between
Trinity and Scott mountains, there is no fear
but what the travel of the Fast year could
not only be retained, but large additions
made thereto. Every business man and
every citizen on the route is more or less in
terestcd in this matter, AMI should give ear
nest attention not only to the :. mending of
their WAYS" but to provide ample and COM
Portable stopping places, where man and
beast can be well accommodated, along the
whole route, at reasonable prices. This done
the travel is secured, and as consequence a
market for the produce of farms on the road
is at their own doors. Such q thing as
prosperous community with bad roads was
never known but when roads are good,
prosperity is palpable to the most careless
observer.

THE RAIN.-Two weeks ago last Wednes

hold in upper air, at others, and generally,
falling gently so that mother earth could
drink it as fast as it fell on her thirsty bo-
som. The gentleness of the fall has been
such that the streams have not been over

ties. Nothing like flood has transpired

SPRISG CREEK MILL-Last week this mill
cleaned up, after run Of FIVE days with
eight stamps, sixteen pounds of amalgum,
worth S96 per pound. and amounting in the
aggregate to Sl536-a little over $500 per
day. This clearly proves that enterprise and
energy alone are necessary to the development
of the wealth of this county. There are hun
dreds Of just as good lodes as those belonging
to this mill, that might be worked with the
same good success if men ofmeans would but
wake'up to the fact that their money would
be better invested in producing wealth to the
community, as well as to themselves, than In
the old way of bond and mortgage at 2 per
cent. per month, which impoverishes the bor-
rover, and renders the lender sordid and
miserly.
