Too BAD-A writer in the Bulletin re
Gently stated that Mrs. Duke Gwin formerly
kept boarding house, whereat the Exami-
ner grows wrathy, and denounces the asser-
ton as a vile eliminating slander, and
afirms that the lady in question belongs to
the F. T. v, and never followed any dis
graceful occupation. Boarding house keep
ers will doubtless feel bad about the Exami-
ner mans contemptuous allusion to their
occupation, but then he is such a perfect
pink of respectability that they will have to
accept his opinions on such questions as high
authority. Franknnl is evidently putting on
airs since his removal to g Frisco" and has
probably forgotten the time he succumbed
to the influence of tangle leg, and broke
down in the midst of speech, at Millville.
in this county, and was put to led in state
of blissful inebriety.

Hon. E. GARTER.-The last number of the
Solano Press contained list of gentlemen
who were spoken of as being candidates for
the nomination for Congress in the Third
District. Among those mentioned was Judge
Garter, of this place. whom we promptly
endorsed as our first choice for the position.
Since then the Judge has informed us that he
has no intention whatever of running for
Congress, and that tie mention of his name
in that connection was unauthorized by him.
He lie entirely satisfied with his present posi-
ton, and has no desire to change it for the
strife of the Congressional arena.

The Treasonable Spirit Still Lingers.

The bitter and unrelenting spirit exhibited
by the secessionists of the South, indicates
unmistakably that the conflict commenced
six year ago for the destruction of the Amer
lean Union is not over, but merely transferred
from the battle field to the political arena
Defeated in their purpose eff overthrowing the
Government by force of arms, they now hope,
by the aid of Andy johnson and his satellites,
to accomplish their designs by obstructing
the wheels legislation, preventing the en-
forcement of the laws of Congress, and
wearing out the patience of the loyal people
of the North.
1t is useless for any one to argue that the
Confederates contemplate submission to the
requirements of the Federal Government any
longer than necessity compells them. If
they felt any compunctions on account OF
their warfare against the Government, and
desired to accept the National authority in
good faith, and forever give up their ideas OF
separate independence, they would certainly
act in a very different manner from that
which has characterized them since the sur
render of Lee If they honestly intended to
live peaceably under the laws in future, they
would have been willing to remain quiet and
allow the loyal element among them to assert
its rightful prerogative, and lead off in the
work of pacifcation and reconstruction. If
they no longer cherished disloyal designs
they would forego their hostile threats, stop
prosecuting Union men, cease numbering
the United States. If they intended to per
manently abide by the decisions of the war,
they would gladly accept the liberal and
Just requirements of the Constitutional
Amendments, and strive to soothe the pas
sons and annimosities engendered by the
conflict. But the fact is, they do not desire
any permanent adjustment with the Ma
tional Government, and merely desire to gain
respite and strength for new appeal to arms
whenever a favorable opportunity occurs
The power and responsibility of thwarting
them in their traitorous schemes and pur-
poses, and rendering them forever powerless
for evil, devolves upon Congress, and if that
body fails to perform its duty. it will de-
serve and receive the scorn and execration of
all true friends of American liberty and law
for all time.

PORTUGUESE FLAT.-The claims on Portu
guese Flat, on the Sacramento river, are
nearly all paying well this winter. Several
heavy claims. owned by Robert Pitt and
others, are being worked to better advantage
thau usual, on account of the abundance OF
water, and are yielding the owners hand
some dividends A back channel has been
found, running almost the length of the Flat,
and parallel with the river, which prospects
very rich The gravel in this channel is
from twenty to fifty feet in depth, and expen-
sive bed rock bitches will have to be cut in
order to drain the claims.

CHuRNrowN.-The present season has
been propitious one for the miners around
Buckeye and Churntown, and most of them
have improved their chances. Hills and
ordinary season have been mined this winter
with the best results. If plentiful supply
of water could be brought into the Churn-
town diggings, thousand men could find
employment where not over sixty or seventy
can work at present.
The Shasta courier., 1867-02-09

REp WARRIoR.-We learn that the owners
of the second extension of the Red Warrior
lode, in the South Fork district, are making
preparations to commence work on their
claim, and are determined to find out some-
thing of its extent and value as soon as pos
sible. Kelton & Kellogg, of Douglas City,
are the principal owners, which fact alone is
a sure guarantee that something will be done
besides empty talk. They are men of enter
prise and action.

TERRIBLE MAssACRE-A few weeks ago
seventy-three soldiers were slaughtered by
the Indians near Fort Phil. Kearney. Not
satisfied with this savage atrocity, they laid
in wait for more victims, and on the night Of
the lst inst. surrounded a train near the
head of Smoky Hill river, and killed SO men.
The Sacramento Union sensbly suggests that
Sheridan be sent after the red devils. at the
head of ten thousand troops, composed of
infantry, flying artillery and cavalry.

One very singular fact, says the " Youth S
History of the War;" in connection with the
inquest was ever held on his body; no legal
evidence taken as to the manner of his death,
nor was single person accused of connection
with it ever brought into court of law, nor
is there to this day any legal testimony
whatever as to the manner of his death, the
cause Of it, or who killed him.

WHERE They Cor ARMs.-Johnson ap-
pointed Col. Bogy Superintendent of the

tions are not interfered with by storms
Quite heavy force of laborers are employed

A FR1GHrFuL FALL.-On Monday last a
man named Pat DAILY, miner, fell from the
high bank of Bibs' Diggngs, at Eureka,
breaking several of his ribs and receiving
severe internal injuries, from which his re-
covery is doubtful The bank is said to be
about sixty feet high. and the bottom of the
diggings on which he fell, we suppose, must
be either gravel boulders or bed rock. DAILY
