RoBBERY.-On Monday last, a man, whose

ROBBERY. Monday last, man, whose
name we failed to learn, came into town and
informed Sheriff Hopping that be had been
robbed of his horse, and four hundred dollars
in cash, some distance this side of Whisky
town. The man stated that he was coming
down from Trinity county. and fell in with a
footman somewhere on the road, and both
travelled along together. They drank con-
siderable liquor on the way, and after they
had passed Whiskytown some distance, the
horseman found himself too much intoxicated
to ride, and in this condition he says he led
his horse up gulch and lay down and went
TO sleep. When he awoke his horse and
travelling companion were gone. and he also
found that his pockets had been rifed of their
contents. He then made his way to town and
laid the matter before the Sheriff. A warrant
was issued for the arrest of the robber, and
Deputies Hoton and Lahnman were dis
patched to overhaul and bring him back. A
man answering his description had been seen
passing through town on horseback, and
At Middletown he ascertained that he was on
the right track. and pushed on to Horsetown,
where he learned that his man had Just
passed through, and was but short distance
ahead. Lahnman kept up his lick, and
overlook his man on the road this side of
Piety Hill, and informed him that he must
consider himself prisoner To this propo.
sition the gentleman emphatically refused
10 consent, and swore he would rather die
then and there than be brought back to town
under arrest. While parleying about the
matter, the robber made a sudden break for
tie brush, on foot, and succeeded in making
his escape unhurt. although Lahnman fred
a couple Of shots at him as he ran. The
Deputy returned with the stolen horse and
the robbers hat, and says be was in luck TO
recover that much property from thief who
could get over ground so rapidly as the one
in question.

An Appeal to Union Men by George {.

SAN Francisco, September 23d, 1867.
A. S. SMITH, ESQ.,, EDITOR MARYsvILLE
APPEAL. Dear Sir: 1t is not my nature.
as you know, to remain silent at time OF
such Importance as the present, and know
OF no other channel through which can
so appropriately speak few words of exhor-
tation and encouragement to Union men as
through the columns of your able and patri
otto journal which did such noble service in
the recent campaign.
L speak of the present as a time of impor
tance, because, high above the discussions of
local affairs in California, | hear the prepa
ratons of the two great parties of the nation
as they marshal their forces for the Presi
Dental election of next year. That contest

triumph of those who preserved the Republic
and who may safely be trusted with its
future de>tinies, or of those who sought its
obstruction. and who lie in wait to repeat the
ad experiment.
The defeat sustained by the loyal cause in
this State un the fourth instant must not be
allowed to paralyze the hopes of Union men.
nor to aba,e their zeal or energy in the fu.
ture. What single reverse of our arms
during the civil war would have justified an
abandonment of the struggle? | believe
that our la disaster would not have occurred
but for the seeming certainty during the last
two or three weeks Of the canvass. Our ad-
versaries we're as much surprised at the re
suit as were the members of our own party.
Had all who really desired our success labor.
ed for it as though defeat was sure to be the
penalty of neglect, should not in my
opinion, be remanded to political bondage
under our old Democratic task masters for
the next four years The lesson will not lie
lost upon the careless and Indifferent.
In less than month another State cleo
ton is to be held in California for the choos-
ing of a Justice of the Supreme Court and
Superintendent of Public Instruction Men
of undoubted loyalty and acknowledged fit
ness for these positions in which they have
been tried and found most faithfully have been
placed in nomination by the regular conven
tion of the loyal party. At this election we
may, by generous and hearty action revive
the confidence of our Eastern brethren in
Calfornia's loyalty; we may renew the
courage of the loyalsts of Nevada and Ore.
gon we may render more certain the elec-
toral votes of the Pacific States for the
patriotic candidate for the Presidency next
year, and by so doing save the cause of Lib
erty itself. 1t is because so much is at stake
that have addressed You this letter for pub
LEGATION, in order that | might appeal, as
now do, to all with whom my words and ex-
ample may be supposed to have any intlu
ence whatever, that they spare no efforts in
behalf Of the nominees of our party in Octo-
Der. Let us all remember that the support
of our principles must, in the nature Of
things, be measured by the support we yield
tn the men selected by our party to contend
with the enemies of our principles for the
civil control of the State.

Indian Affairs.

The permanent residents and most thought
ful portion of the people of this section of the
State, have long felt that the establishment
of an Indian Reservation. somewhere in this
county, was a matter Of great necessity, and
measure required, not only for the protec
tion Of the Indians, but for the security of
the lives and property of the white population.
In the section of country comprising
portion Of the counties Of Siskiyou, Shasta.
Lassen and Tehama-a territory embracing
many thousand square miles, are to be
found the following tribes of Indians -
Shastas, Pit Rivers, Hat Creeks, Pushus.
Piutes, Ante!opes, Nosers, Sacramentos,
Tonatons and McClouds, numbering, in the
aggregate, over two thousand men, women
and children. who have not Leen provided for
or taken in charge by the Indian Department
of the Government. The valleys and fisher
les from which these Indians formerly pro
cured their sustenance are now taken from
them and appropriated to the use Of white
settlers, and they are driven from their for
mer homes and hunting grounds, into the
mountains, where they can obtain but
scanty subsistence. The consequence is that
the InGians regard the white settlers as tres
passers and enemies, and steal, burn and
destroy their property, and murder women
and children when a safe and favorable
opportunity occurs and the whites, in order
to punish the authors of these outrages,
make counter raids upon the Indians, there
by keeping up constant and destructive
warfare.
This state of affairs renders it unsafe for
the settlers and their families, and frequently
many Indians who are not bad and vicious
have to suffer with those who commit depre.
dations and murders. Nothing is done for
these Indian tribes by the the Indian De
partment, and it is nothing more than right
and just that the Government should inter.
vene for their protection and that of the
settlers, and Reservation be provided for
the Indians as a home Such a measure
would be nothing more than simple justice,
and would serve as protection to the white
settlers.

WHAT THE FIGURES SAY.-Returns. mostly
official, from forty four counties, show that
the unobjectionable" Union nominees were
beaten by very small majority. Holden
beats Jones but 1869 CoroneI beats Pacheco
but 27l2; Hamilton beats Mccullough but
Bal; Bost beats Reed 2737 Seckel beats
Waite 1924; Cutter beats Clayton 2902. The
average Democratic majnrities for the Offices
enumerated is but little over 5000. When
we reflect that the Democrats polled their
full strength at the late election, and take
into consideration the apathy and disafection
which existed in the Union ranks, we are
fully impressed with the fact that the Union
party possesses clear majority in the State.

VINO FAVOR CHINESE LABoR.-The Mis-
souri, Republican, the oldest and most nflu
entail Democratic paper in the West. is now
advocating the introduction of Chinese or
Coolies into that State, and recommends the
farmers and manufacturers of other States to
act Oh its advice and procure their laborers
from China. The Democratic papers of the
South generally advocate the importation of
Chinese laborers, and oppose free labor as
degrading to white men. The Union party
has never, in any section of the country
favored the importation of Coolies, but, on
the contrary, has always declared in favor Of
free labor and the rights Of poor white men.
Democrats and Democratic newspapers have
the sole honor of advocating and favoring the
introduction of Coole labor into the United
States and with them alone rests the respon-
sibiity of introducing a degraded race of
heathens into the country. to compete with
poor white laborers who earn their bread by
honest toll.
