a. The Presidents Messages a plain

p@The Presidents Messageis plain,
statesman-like document, clear in its
statements and dignifed in its tome
While it shows that the President is firm
ia his convictions, it is entirely free from
that asperity which strongly marked his
public speeches. -.
The Democratic and Conservative press
speak of it in terms Of commendation,
while the Radical papers and politicians
employ less invective against it than
might have been expected. tisl4
1t is gratifying to observe that the
President exhibits the same inhexible de-
termination in our foreign policy that he
does toward the enemies of the country
at home. Louis Napoleon as we'll as
Thad, Steyens--Joh4 Bull as we'll as
Beast Butler-are made to feel that the
honor sand welfare Of our country have

The Rump Congress has commenced a
furious attack ON tho privileges and pre-
rogatives of the President. Bills are in
trsduced for repeating all the laws passed
during Lincoln's term comforting extra
ordinary powers on the President; and
many Of his prerogatiyes (which have
been unquestioned since the foundation
of the Government, are to. be taken from
the President and monopolized by Con-
gress or conferred upon its pots.
Our country will soon present to the
world the pitiable spectacle eff a dissev-
cred Union. governed exclusively by a
rabia, frantic, ranting, rump Congress.

RoBBERY-ALMosT.-O Tuesday last Mr..
James Carr, proprietor of the Trinity and
Scott Mountain Turnpike, was riding on
horseback from the foot of Scott Mountain to
the New York House, at about nine O'Clock
P. NJ, and when half a mile from his destina
ton a couple of men stepped out and told him
to stop. Carr was riding with his hands in
his pockets to keep them warm, and says
that though he was rather inclined to obey
orders under the circumstances, his horse
took different view of the case, and bounded
away before the rider could reach the reins
As the horse run the "agent" fired three
shots after him, thereby considerably accel-
Grating the speed of his horse. After riding
little way he locked around to see if he was
pursued, and as be did so his horse made an
unusual plnnge that dismounted him. Getting
to his feet uninjured, he was grati6ed to find
that he had remained in the saddle long
enough to save his coin, if not his bacon. One
of the men was tall and had white hand
kerchief over his face. The other man was

Struck it Again.

Shasta played out" is an old story, and
this week we are glad to give convincing
evidence of the untruth of such croakings.
Rector 4 Wright last week went into the
north bank of Ross Gulch, on the east side
Of the Sacramento river, little south east Of
Shasta. and after stripping six feet Of dirt,
took sout with rocker, in three days. a
triHe over 500. They strip six feet and
wash four. using the drainage water for
their rocker.
On the divide between Mad Mule and
Studhorse canyons Banghart and partner
have been to work during the winter. work
ing the surface dirt with rocker. catching
water in small reservoir, and making good
wages. Just down in the head of Mule they
finally discovered a narrow strata Of decom
posed quartz, and commenced panning and
rocking it. 1t paid. They are still at work.
The ledge ranges from one to six inches, and
they have taken from it pieces that will
weigh two and three ounces. Since the rains
have abated, a mortar, pan, pick and shovel
are all the tools they use, and they are max.
ing large wages.
Between Oregon and Olney gulches, near
Middetown, on the divide between the :wo,
prospecting has been done that warrants the
Clear Creek Ditch Company putting up
dume half mile in length, and forty feet
high at the highest place, for the purpose OF
carrying water on the new discovery.
There is no doubt but Shasta county to-day
presents greater inducements to the intelll
gent and enterprising prospector than any
locality out of California. Soon the Horse
shoe Bend Tunnel Company will furnish
another link in the testimony that substanti
ates the superiority of Shasta county over all
competitors yes, all competitors. We say
it and mean it. We believe we are ahead in
placer mines, and in gold and silver lodges,
and are prepared to meet investigation.

EXPRESSION OF THEIR FAcEs.-When Steve

Of concealment, on Tuesday last, says the
Grass Valley National. they were evidently
about dividing their plunder, which was in
coin and bullion. amounting to 81 1000. A
coal ,chisel. hammer and other articles were
afterwards found, with which the robbers, it
is surmised were going to cut up the bar for
a division. Two of the robbers. at the time
they were shot. were smiling, as the expires
sion of their faces afterward would indicate
while the face of the third one expressed
