DEAR JOURNAL Feeling that way inclined
drop myself to drop you few lines. Am happy
now as a Hoosier with section of gingerbread
under his arm. Yet, my neghbors say l am al
ways happy, but there is saying that every
heart has its own troubles. My greatest trouble
for the last few nights has been occasoned by
lot of pesky mice that seem disposed to dispute
my right to the cabin. So | went down to the
ranch and brought up cat which Nelly gave
me. Turned him loose and seated myself to
watch proceedings. 1t didn take him more than
ten minutes to get accimated. While was pen
ming the above he caught three. The cat is So
cial cuss, and think will stay without my re-
sorting to the superstitious Yitchery of greasing
her feet. Wouldn't mind investing pound of
fresh butter on some manageable lady's toes If
l thought it would make her stay her. l can't

The entire ditching McGillivray's enter
prise is completed to the lower end of this Bar,
and the fuming will be finished by April I'd, GER
tain. On the I'd water will be turned in at the
head but it generally takes some days to test
the banks of ditch it is hardly probable
that water will be let to miners before the 9th.
The same set of hands about eighty in number,
are now engaged in grading the lower portion,
aud have already finished nearly mile. At the
present rate the terminus will be reached by the
LIST of May. This is what ! call driving ditch
handsomely, and we will have to vote Nc the boss
ditch-builder OF Northern California.
1t is fortunate that in doing so much heavy
work, with so many hands employed, that no ac-
cdent of moment has happened thus far. True,
while in the tunnel a rock flew and struck my
nose, taking off little bark, but then il would
be hard for a rock to do much flying around in a
four foot tunnel and miss that proboscis Of mine
Don't laugh. for if there is anything in the world
l am proud Of it's my big and big feet

Your contributor L. A. K. leaves on a visit
to home and friends next Friday, taking with her
the well wishes of many warm admirers, and

TOM Good bye, perhaps forever. But then you
know fellow might have business below, say
having his dust Mint-ed, or something else. At
fractions are great and travel cheap, mind you
When we get fairly at work, | think you will
have good account from this Bar. The lower
end is known to be rich, and in the upper end
coarse gold has been found in considerable guam
titles. \ few weeks will test the matter.
Miners below are busy at work. The Red Hill
claims across the river said to be yielding |
better than ever. Snow firmly packed in the
mountains, which makes the prospect for long
mining season good. JAcIyTo.
Mastery STROKE By McMAsrER.-The Stock
ton Independent calls attention to the fact that
the New York Freemqas Jouynal, (McMaster,
editor organ of the Irish Catholic Democracy,
served notice upon August Belmont, chair
man of the Democratic National Committee
which was to assemble in Washington on the |
22d Of February, to fix a day for the national
meeting Of the Northern and Southern wings of |
the rebel army that n decided protest would be |
made against the participation in that consulta-

reconstructed States, aud clearly ntimated that
Irishmen would rot associate, politically, with a
party composed principally of condemned and
avowed rebels, ard that many lrishmen who
have heretofore worked with the Democratic
party would be found supporting at this election
the Union nominees for President and Vice Pres

SAN FRANcIsco DELEGATEs.--The list of dele
gates sent from San Francisco to the State Con-
vention of last Tuesday, is in striking contrast
with the delegation sent from that city to the
nominating Convention of June last Last years
delegation was sent to accomplish given pur
nose regardless of consequences this years to
labor solely for the party good. The Union
party in that city has shown its wisdom in send
inc such men as Alpheus Bull, Eugene l.. Suli-
van, Frank NJ. Pxey, C. L. Clayton, Ira P. Ran
kin, VIM. Sherman, Louis L. Lull, and others of
the same respectable stamp.
Coon PLATFORM Coffin, late of the So
nora Herald, has established new paper at Oak
land. Some idea of what it is to be, politically,
may be gathered from his announcement -

side of the Republican press of the country in
the maintenance of Union principles as opposed
TO the principle.of secession. | am with Con-

REFFRrING to the defeat of the proposition to
transfer one hundred convict Cinnamon to Sis
kiyou county, to build roads, the Yreka Journal
saws :-s We are decidedly in favor of good
roads. but there is not a particle of doubt as
matter of economy, that they could be built
cheaper by hiring Cinnamon or even free white
labor. Why the Democrats are so ANXIOUS to
force Chinese upon us, convic;s at that, anu then
memorabilia Congress against their employment
on China mail steamers, is more than we can
decipher."

existed in this State.
WILL He The Dramatic Chronicle predicts
that the President would resign on finding that
the time for trial could be longer postponed.
The trial was set for last Monday, and unless
continuance was granted, it is possible that
Andy slid gracefully out of the chair he has so
disgraced.
