CoNTEMPTIBLE.-We observe, with feelings
of disgust, that little Bishop" OF the Chico
Courant, has bolted the Union ticket, after
moving in the State Convention to make
Gorham's nomination unanimous. Any del
egate to the Convention who acquiesced In
the proceedings without protesting at the
time, and afterwards returned home and
bolted, or opposed the nominees of the Con-
vention, is too contemplate to live among
decent men. and should not be trusted any
where. In fact, this brawling little fellow Is
not entitled>to seat in any Union Conven-
ton. Two years ago he bolted the regular
organization in Tehama county, and did his
best to throw the local election into the hands
of the Copperheads. This fact is well known
to the Union people of Tehama, who fought
manfully for the regular ticket, until success
crowned it at the polls. Such is the eharac
ter of little Bishop. The Union party has no
earthly use for him; let him skedaddle over
to the Copperhead enemy he has been labor
ing to encourage and assist for the past two
wears
The Shasta courier., 1867-06-29

ORcANIzED-The rebel papers of North
and South Carolina are greatly exercised on
account of having discovered that a strong
secret Union organization extends over these
two States. The members are white per-
sons. and pledged to oppose the return to
power of those who engaged in the rebellion.
The organization is acting in harmony with
the military, and in conjunction with the
loyal freedmen. 1t is said the organization
is strong enough to carry the coming elec-
tiOns in favor of the Union cause.

SOUTHERN RELIEF FUND.

| Mr.. EDITOR We are in receipt of
beautiful patchwork quit-an album quilt,
it is called-the workmanship of Mrs. Petty,
of Piety Hill, who desires the same to be
raffie0 for on the Fourth of July next, the
proceeds to go to the relief of destitute wild
ows and orphans of the Southern States
She fixes the price of tickets at one dollar,
the number of tickets to equal the demand.
She also desires that the undersigned take
charge of the whole affair. giving notice
through the Shasta COURIER of the time and
place of said rattle.
We therefore desire to state, through your
paper, that the rattle for said quilt will take
place at Knox's saloon, (where the quilt is
now exhibited for inspection), in Shasta, on
the 4th of July next, at o'clock P. NJ, and
that the sale of tickets will continue until
the rattle takes place. The names of persons
buying tickets will be listed and numbered
in the order in which they are reported, and
person will be selected to throw the dice for
all the numbers on the list, commencing with
No. l. and running regularly through the
same until it is completed. and the owner
ship of the quilt determined in favor of the
person for whom the highest dice has been
thrown, which shall be decided by a com
mittee selected on the evening of the rdffie.
This laudable effort of Mrs. Petty is COM
mended to the favorable consideration of the
people of Shasta, more especially as the quilt
is the result of many days. tedious labor, in
the hope that the plan adopted will result in
the relief of starving widows and orphans.
As appalling accounts of want and absolute
starvation continue to come from many dis
tricts of the South, it is hoped this effort of
Mrs Petty's for their relief will meet with
that degree of success which it deserves from
humane and Christian people.

PITIFUL.-When it was announced that
George C. Gorham had received the nomina-
ton for Governor by the Union State Cen
vention, the editor of the Yreka Journal
hosted the ticket, and opened the campaign
by an endorsement of the nominations of the
Convention. On the following week the paper
appeared without Gorf am S name in compli,
ance with the request of few sore heads of
Yreka, who desire to run Oulton for Cover
nor. The editor, in permitting himself to be
dictated to in this manner, shows that he is
lacking in personal independence, and un-
worthy to represent the Union cause in
Siskiyou. Such vassalage and indecision is
not characteristic of true hearted and genu-
inc Union soldiers when standing face to
face with the enemy. Be man or mouse,

An INcIDENT.-During the session of the
Democratic Convention, in San Francisco, a
curious delegate happened to peer under a
picture, the face of which had been turned
toward the wall, and found it to be a photo
graphic likeness of Robert E. Lee If a few
bottles of Kentucky corn juice had
been distributed among the delegates, the
." policy" which dictated the turning of that
picture would have been forgotten, and a
square vote on the proposition would have
resulted in a verdict in favor of placing the
portrait so as to reveal the features of the
rebel cbieftain to the admiring gaze of those
who formed the left wing of his army during
the late war.

THE FouRTH.-The Fourth of July will be
celebrated, in this place, by military pa
rade, target shooting, and ball at Armory
Hall in the evening. The list of floor man.
ayers, as announced in the published pro
gramme, is guarantee that the ball will be
conducted in style of perfection well
calculated to beget feelings OF envy in the
Aosoms Of those who have had no great
amount of experience in such matters.
Harry Burk, of French Gulch, also, is
determined that the day shall not be allowed
to pass without tribute, and is preparing tc
give grand ball. at his hotel. The affail
will doubtless be an agreeable one, and
numerously attended, as Harry has the
reputation of giving the best balls and sup
pers of any landlord in the county.

INCOME TAXA letter from the Commits
sioner Of Internal Revenue states that out of

RoUGH ELEcTIoNEERING.-Dave Gordon,
the handsome. gay, and festive editor of
the Trinity Journal, tried hard to carry
Trinity county for Bidwell. lie did not
succeed This is specimen of his style OF
electioueering: A day or two previous to the
late Union primaries in Trinity, Dave met
Charley NJ, who runs an express
between Weayervile and Hay Fork, and
addressed him thus:
IN r., how are the boys going to
vote at the Hay Fork?''
- think" said NJ, they are
nearly all going for bones"
clip rejoined Dave" that Won t do
Talk to the boys-talk to them. You are all
squaw men over there; the General is a
squaw man, too, and you should all go for
him I"
NJ says he never had his feelings SC
much outraged in his life. He says it's dis
graceful enough to be a squaw man, but to
be electoneered on it is piling it on little
too thick.
Is it any wonder Bidwell got beaten, with
such friends?'

Considerable activity has
prevailed of late among Dog Greek minersin
prospecting new ground. Many of the
gulches and raynes not heretofore molesled
have been prospected, and found to contain
gold in paying quantities. There is no rea
son why some of these gulches should not
prove as rich as the celebrated Mccall Gulch,
from which so much gold has been taken.

New VoLUME.-The Red Bluff Independ.
ent has just closed its seventh volume, and
enters upon another year with excellent
prospects. The independents is a sound Union
journal. Its editor was ~ delegate to the
State Convention, and although a strong
Bidwell man, we are pleased to note that he
possesses the good sense and decency to
accept the situation, and has not uttered
word about C. corruption, " " foul play, )" etc.,
because of the failure of his favorite to secure
a nomination. We commend his example in
this respect to others. His head is eminently
level on questions of party. discipline, and the
duty of sustaining the nominees of the Con
vention. Let the Union men of Tehama
county give the Independent hearty sup
port, and encourage its publisher in his
gallan. fight against the Copperheads of that
locality.
