ton whereon all the Indians in this part of Cali
foria are to be congregated. Mr.. Bdwell, the
Representative in Congress from this district, or
] iginated the scheme, and we can but think that
if the. matter was properly and truly stated to
him, that he could not press a measure so
fraught with disaster to SO large and worthy a
class of his constituents. Perhaps mere sug-
gestion to him would prompt him not to act
further in that direction but if not, others of
of our delegation, and Congress itself should be
directly and earnestly appealed to by petition
Nothing need be said to demonstrate to our citi-
zens the impoicy and disastrous consequences
of the bill that wouid result to this section
All the people understand it, Almost certainly
this harraid region would again be scourged with
another Indian war, that would trample out all
reVivng enterprises that now beginning to
4 add to our wealth and comfort. The subject
should be agtated, and decided action taken
at once to prevent the passage of this bill.
Humboldt Times.
We are well satisfied that the proposition to
make Round Valley general Indian Reservation
for the Northern portion of the State, meets with
but little favor among the people of our neigh
boring county of Humboldt. Further, we have
heard it ridiculed by many of our own citizens,
chiefly for the following reason: Most, II not
all the Indians taken from this county during
the last campaign, were transferred to the Round
Velley Reservation, and the greater part of them
are now back again This may be, and undoubt-
edly is, the result of having bad or inefficient Of
fcers in charge, as is proven by the contrary
condition of things at the Hoopa Valley Reserve.
At the close of the campaign Mr.. Stockton was
placed in charge of the Indians there We are
informed that he has enforced the most scrupu-
nd he is that the
Indians have been kept under thorough subJec-
tion and have in a great measure maintained
themselves during the year. We have no rea-
son to believe that General Bidwell will urge a
measure which may work injustice to any por
ton of his constituents, and suggest that the
matter in all its bearings be laid before him over
the signatures of the people of these Indian
scourged counties. If the proposed change is
generally felt to be bad one, let that feeling be
made known in the proper way.
DETAINED ON THE IsTHMAs.-We have letter
from our late townsman and friend, Geo. H. Lord, :,
who sailed for the East the Opposition steamer,
Moses Taylor, September 25th with many other
Trinitarians The letter is dated Greytown, Oct.
goth, where they had arrived in safety, but after
much tribulaton. We take the liberty of pub
| fishing the following extract &c suppose that
before this you have heard something of the San
tago de Cuba. The vessel with which they were
to connect on the other side, but which was de-
tanned at New York by the terrible gale of the
first week in October-ED. 1t is the SUPPOSE
ton here that she has gone down, but we have
no means of obtaining information. The Agent
here has sent tug to Aspinwal to see if he can
ascertain anything. He is doing everything he
can for our comfort, but it is q rough" never
theless. The passengers are all disposed to make
the best of it, and take things patiently. There
is slight prospect Of a steamer coming in to-
morrow (Oct. 2lst). If it docs not arrive the
Agent says our show to remain here until Nov
l lth is good.
The following Trntarians detained here :
VIM Little and three children, Mrs. JOS. Spence
and five children, R. Maher and wife, s. Fogg,
John Alexander, Wm. H. Berber, JOS Wallace
and wife and your humble servant and family.
Quite number from Yreka with us, among
them Frank Merritt formerly of Weaverville) and
five children" There is little doubt but that
The detained passengers are all safely at their
| journeys end long before this.
"MARcHING ON.".Though John Browns
body lies moudering in the ground his soul goes
marching on y through New York, New Jersey,
Missouri, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Mime
sofa, Massachusetts,, Kansas and Nevada. Ma
ryland and Delaware, the petite States claiming
to be sovereign, the Rebels have re-captured.
Mr.. Johnson appealed to the people. and they
respond in favor of Congress. Is the President
deaf? In the 20 States the Republicans have
elected I3l straight-out Radicals, and the cop
| perheads 80, making a net gain of four Union
members. We lose three members in the sink
holes of New York, and offset them by gains
among the honest and patriotic yeomanry of the
interior. The Union men in Maryland are over
whelmed by returned rebel soldiers and Execu-
tive hirelngs, and we make the loss more than
good in New Jersey and Missouri. Glory enough
for l866-Aarysuille appeal.
Too much glory to properly appreciate, is
what's the matter.
THE New York World had a long editorial on
the Lost Glory of the Johnson Administra-
tion, " in which it said that the unfortunate re-
suit of the election deprves President johnson
of what ought to have been the chief glory of
his administration, viz; the pacifcation of the
country. He is powerless during the residue of
his term in all contested questions of domestic
politics. His only chance of acquiring prestige
is in vigorous foreign policy, where he would
/ be less subject to control by Congress. 1t
would be futile for him to contend longer with
Radicals in respect to the South. and he will
consult the dignity of his office by letting his
action cease with his responsibility.
HUMoRs OF THE CAMPAIGS.-In one building in
Pittsburgh Democratic newspaper occupies
the third story. and Republican paper the
fourth. On the occasion of the grand procession
there, the johnson paper hung from its window
strip of canvas labelled "Johnson and Cly-
mer.' The Union paper Immediately had an
other strip painted in the same style with the
words, Brave men detest" and hung the in
scription from its windows just above; and the
senteuce formed by the combination of the two
was highly edfying to the spectators of both
parties
