THE CRANMER GUN.-The inventor OF this
gun. gave an exhibition of its powers at
Stockton last Saturday, which is thus alluded
TO nv the Independent of that city;
1t is capable of throwing Ct tons OF halt
ounce bullets in twenty four hours, with the
force of an ordinary rifle. The machinery,
although wonderfully ingenious, is not com
plicated or easily put out OF working order,
and after the powder, balls, and percussion
caps are placed in their respective hoppers,
all that is necessary to belch forth hre ana
shot continually is simply to turn handle
OF one side of the machines work when a
child can perform. Supposing that an ele
phant grizzly bear, or any animal OF ex-
traordinary strength, were standing twenty
yards from the battery, and would make
rush for it at full speed, they would be liter
ally shattered to pieces before 1t would be
possible for them to reach the machine. In
fact, there is nothing in the shape OF physl-
cal strength that could stand for five seconds
before it. Heavy guns constructed on the
same principle and driven by steam or horse
power, would produce a revolution in war
fare a hundred fold greater than was pro-
duced by the construction of monitors or the
manufacture of needle guns. All who de-
sire 70 witness the Opera'I'l al "He OF the
greatest inventions of the age, should not
fail to see aud carefully examine Cranmer' IS
machine gnG, with which an nctive tillibus-
ter could almost slay the entire population
of the Chinese Empire before breakfast
Were few of these guns rugged up in con-
nection with extensive powder works and a
shot foundry, a day of terror would be like
ly to dawn on John Bull, if the machines
were in Britain and a Fenian placed at each
wheel

FENIAN ExcITEMENT.-The Fenian excite
ment is again running high both in America
and Europe. The English Government has
stationed troops in all the principal towns
and villages in Ireland, in anticipation of a
revolt. Canada is swarming with red coats,
sent thither to guard that dependency from
falling into the hands of the FenIans, VINO
are anxious for another fight with thelr
ancient enemy. 1t is evident that the fenian
leaders intend to make an effort to strike
down the tyranny and oppression of England
in some quarter before long. Nations, like
individuals, must suffer for crimes committed
against the laws of justice and humanity, and
England's day of reckoning will eventually
come. May that day bring liberty to Ire.
land, and reveal Right triumphant over
Wrong, and behold the emblematic Green
floating in glory above the dishonored Cross
of St. George.

SHASTA COURIER H.
SATURDAY MORNING, DEC. 8, 1866.

FLAT CREEK-Energetic and inuus'i'o''
miners are directed to this mining uisti'e''
as a locality presenting an inviting hela l0f
enterprise and investment. Many Oh '"'
bars and fats along the stream nave never
been disturbed by the prospector' ana others
have been only partially prospected oy some
of the early miners, who were genera'iy TOO 20
impatient to stop long anywhere Nearly al,
the claims that have been thoroughly worked
paid we'll. and the few claims beng worked
at nresent weld fair return for the time and
labor expended upon them. The brulnheid
brothers are working bar claim that pays
from six to eight dollars day to the hand'
-shoveling into sluices-and they nave
ground enough to keep them employed for
wears to come. George Mexican owns a
claim in which he averages from four to five
dollars every day he works, and he says
there are plenty of places above and below
him that will pay equally as we'll. Miners
in search of employment should try their
luck on Flat Creek.

SURRATT.-John III. Surratt, one of the
assassins of President Lincoln, was recently
discovered and arrested at Rome, but after
wards made his escape. He then fled tc
Egypt, where he has been recaptured, and i:
now held by the American Consul. Con
gresham Boutwell,. of Massachusetts, asserts
that Seward and johnson knew the where
abouts of Surratt for the last six months
Why did they not cause his arrest? Il
johnson afraid that his testimony might i'm
plicate him in the assassination.

To WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN Persons in
different parts of the county are constantly
sending us specimens of quartz rock taken
from the numerous lodges which they are
discovering or prospecting, with a request to
notice the same in the COURIER. Now, we
are always willing to help any mining en-
terprise along. and while doing so it seems
to US to be no more than fair for those who
expect to be benefited thereby to return the
compliment by at least subscribing for the
paper in which notices of their mines ap-
pear. These parties should remember that a
newspaper cannot subsist upon rock-even
if it is quartz-whether obtained at distance
of five feet or one hundred feet from the
surface

CONGRESSIONAL CAUCUs--The Union mem.
bers of Congress have held an important
caucus at Washington. 1t was determined
that Boutwell,, of Massachusetts, should in
troduce a resolution at the earliest opportu
nifty for the appointment of joint committee
to investigate The conduct and course of the
President, and report what action it will be
necessary for Congress to take. Schenck

STAGE UPSET. The Red Bluff stage was
upset near the Canon House, on Monday
morning last, while passing a bad place in
the road. There were ten passengers on
board at the time, and several of them re-
ceived bruises and contusions. A. P. Ladd,
who was going down as messenger for
Wells, Fargo & Co., was severely hurt BY
striking upon his shoulder, and another pas
senger had his wrist dislocated. No blame
is attached to the driver, as the accident was
unavoidable

TRANsFERRED.-The heavy mails for Ore
gon and Washington and Idaho Territories
heretofore passing through this city by the
Oregon stages, have been transferred to the

the Oregon stages, and aid them in making

WHO MURDERED THE OFFICER d?

Who murdered the Policeman? was the
next question The Coroner's inquest was
in great doubt Witnesses came forward
but they could prove little or nothing They
had all heard two shots. They had all seen
a man run. One had witnessed struggle,
and another had heard something said about
burglar A lady, however. declared that,
hearing noise in the street. she had looked
from her chamber window. saw a man leap
from balcony saw him in contest with the
deceased saw him fire and run past her
window, his clothes all in disorder. as if un-
fastened saw him fire again and disappear.
The result was, poor devil who had once
threatened to whip the Policeman was ar
rested as his murderer Luckily for him,
alter he had been in prison day or two. he
was able to prove an alibi clearly, and was
discharged on bail. Justice was foiled.

OHIo.-Peck & Ellsworth have leased the
Ohio lode for a number of months, for the
purpose of prospecting, and have the privi-
lege of purchasing it at the expiration of the
lease, at a fixed price, should they desire to
do SO. They are now sinking a shaft upon
the claim, and have already struck rock of
great richness, much of it containing native
silver,

A ROMANTIC WIND-UP.

Our Don Juan got home safely after the
murder, entered his house unobserved, as he
thought, and went to bed. Of course be
read with profound interest the details of the
Coroner's inquest. CT course he laughed in
his sleeve when the crowner's quest"
went off on a wrong scent and popped the
wrong man into durance vile. But he felt
uneasy for Il few DAYS nevertheless This
feeling, however, wore away, and lovemak-
ing again became uppermost in his thoughts.
He dared not visit the house whence he had
escaped by such bloody means, for he sus-
pected that another watch had been set upon
it; but g cold soup is easily rewarmed, and
so he revived an old love affair with another
married lady. and as he could not, without
sus picion, visit her house, he met her by ap-
pointment out of doors, and they walked the
streets, after night, lovingly together. By
this time, though, the Coroner had been put
upon another scent. Detectives bad follow
ed it up. Witnesses had been examined
Circumstances had been compared, facts
elected, and certain conclusions arrived at.
The description given by the woman who
saw the murderer, Tailed with the appear
ance of Don Juan. He had been seen to
enter that house about eleven P. NJ. He was
found not to be in it just after the murder
He ,cas seen to enter his own house about
four A. NJ. His pistol had been secretely
examined, and two barrels found recently
discharged. And so with other facts. The
result was, that Don Juan was arrested IN
the street. while out walking with the other
married lady, she was sent home in fright
full state of trepidation to her husband, and
the Don was conveyed to prison. He is in
sad position, therefore. He stands exposed.
His wife and family know all. He is be-
lieved to be guilty. 1t is feared be will even
be hanged.

GET AN INTEREsT.-Copper City proved an
nrroftable field for the investment of cap
ital, and many of our citizens feel backward
about investing in quartz in consequence of
former unlucky speculations. This fact has
to some extent retarded the prospects and
operated prejudicial to the interests of the
South Fork mines. But the unmistakable
evidences which this new district everywhere
presents admit of no doubts as to the value
and richness of its lodges, and their impor-
tance is destined to attract general attention
at no distant day, in spite of all disadvan-
tages. Therefore every one should secure an
interest while it is within their power to do
so without causing heavy drain upon their
purses. South Fork is bound to be success.

MURDER AND DISSATISFACTION a long time
time the citizens of Allegheny, Chips Flat,
and Minnesota, mining camps in Sierra
county, have had various articles stolen from
them, but were unable to find any clue to the
thieves. Finally, man named Newhouse
was employed to look out for the stolen pro
perty. Suddenly Newhouse disappeared,
and no tidings of him could be obtained. A
liens of Allegheny arrested Chinaman
whom they suspected knew something about
the stolen property. After his arrest the
Chinaman manifested a desire to escape,
which led his captors to believe that they had
caught the right one. One of them then told
the Chinaman that if he would tell what had
become of Newhouse they would let him go.
To their surprise the ChinamaD told them
that he had killed Newhouse, and if they
would go with him he would show them
where he was buried. On reaching the place
indicated they found the body of Newhonse,
cut in two, and SCARED by twenty three knife
wounds The Chinaman stated that New
house came to his cabin and commenced
abusing him, that he bore it for awhile and
then stabbed him. After killing him he
found that he could not carry the body away.
so he cut it in two, and carried half at a
time and buried it, After making this con-
fession the Chinaman was taken out and
beaten nearly to death, and then hung by
the exasperated citizens. They then went to
work and demolished all the Chinese cabins
in that locality, and drove off the occupants.
