MILLVlLLB, Lee. . lcOo.
Ed. CouxIER: - The late rains have given
our farmers a chance to plow. and. conse-
quently, every body 'is busy at cropping
From all appearances we are likely to have
a dry winter, and "alrquiet on Cow Creek''
will be~the wasehwofd ON the many branches
of the great bovine rivulet.
The town is improving on the slow and
sure principle: We have; now three black
smith shops, one hotel, three stores, one
saddler's shop, one son Of St. Crispin, and
two disciples of Esculapius. A stove and
tinware shop would do well here, as most
Of the people in this section are obliged to
order such goods either from Shasta or Red
Bluff. The carpenters are all hard at wofk,
and no less than Eve comfortable dwellings
have been erected in the past two months.
The district school goes along admirably,
there being about seventy scholars on the
roll. Certainly MillviIle has the best school
house in the northern part Of the State. The
Rollsof Honor for the school month ending

TRIAL OF JEFF. DAvIs.-Argument in the
trial of JEFF. Davis, for treason, commenced
in the U. s. District Court, at Richmond, on
the 5tH, ,SAbefore Chief Justice Chase and
Judge, Underwood. Robert Ould and Chas.
O'Connor appeared as counsel for Davis, and
r. R. Dana for the Government. After the
reading of the Indictment, Ould made mo-
ton to qaash the indictment, and argued
that the Fourteenth Amendment to the Con-
stitatien, punished the accused by disfran-
chisement; but this punishment, chosen by
the people, was merciful substitute for the
penalty of death and confscation that the
punishment of Davis commenced on the date
ofthe adoption of the Amendment; that he
cannot now be punished in any other way
that the will of the people, rs expressed in
the Constitution, is above all former provi-
sions made for those who engage in rebellion:
and that no man can be punished twice for
the same offense. Dana argued against the
motion, and held that the Fourteenth Amend
ment, pleaded in bar Of punishment by de-
fendant, was not a penal statute. but merely
a change in our political system, to procure
trustworthiness in Office, and preserve purity
in the administration of the Government. 1t
was a measure of protection to secure the
country against the filling of Offices with per-
sons who once filled them and broke their
oaths. If it had been intended to inflict
punishment it would have the utmost folly of
legislation, seeing that while it would, if
viewed as defendants counsel viewed it,
tighten the punishment of the leaders who
had, held Office and broken their oaths, it
would leave the people who had never held
Office exposed TO the penalty of death and i'm
prisonment, as provided in the Constitution
before the adoption of the Amendment.
Judges Chase and Underwood disagreed
upon the motion, Chase being in favor of
quaahing the indictment and Underwood op-
posing Il. The case was tbereupon certified
to the 1Sapreme Court of the United States.

TERRIBLE STEAMBOAT COLLISION. A fear
full collision occurred on the Ohio river at
half past IL o'clock on the 4th inst, two
miles above Warsaw, on the Indiana side.
The steamer America was ascending the
river and struck the steamer United States,
which was descending. just forward of the
steps, cutting into her side and sinking the
United States to the main deck in two min
utes. The collision is said to have occurred
from a mistake in the signals. The United
States had quantity Of petroleum oil on
board, which took fire, and within thirty
seconds the boat was macs of flames. 1t is
supposed that seventy-fve or eighty persons
lost their lives. Both boats were the finest
and largest afoat on the Ohio, and worth
three hundred thousand dollars The Amer
lea was also entirely consumed, having taken
fire while endeavoring to rescue the passen-
gers from the United States. Those saved
owe their lives to the courage and coolness of
the officers and crew of the America, whose
engines were kept moving until the engineers
were driven away by the flames. There were
several bridal parties aboard the America,
and she had IS lady passengers in all.

+ Too GREAT HAsTE.-We have heard com.
plants from several sources about the man.
ner in which the body of John Clark was
brought from Horsetown here for burial on
Sunday last 1t is alleged that the under.
taker drove so rapidly that the attendants
who followed in buggies and wagons could
scarcely keep up with the hearse without
driving at rate of speed wholly unbecoming
a funeral cortege. This is not the first in
stance in which we have heard complaints
about the unseemly haste in which corpses
have been hurried to burial. AS the funeral
is the last testimonial OF respect which the
living are called upon to pay to the remains
of the dead, humanity and. decency require
that the ceremony be conducted with some
thing like propriety.

PREsIDENT's MEssAGE.-The Presidents
message to Congress is described as being a

the repeal of the Tenure of Office Act, and
the curtailment of Government expenses.
The Alabama claims and Nicaragua affairs
are briefly alluded to. He also declares that
gigantic system of revenue frauds threaten to
bankrupt the Government, but fails to state
that he is in a great measure responsible for
the retention in Office of the defrauders. -

that it could be found by the persons hiding
it, but as it has been fshed out, they will
probably not call for it. There were eight
men on board and each one took one hundred

More Causes of Blood Poison.

Excessive labor or undue excitement sometimes
occasion serious sickness by causing accelerated
motion to the blood. Grief, fear and anxiety hurt
by making the blood to circulate slower Both
causes may produce serious evils to the health.
unless prevented by timely aid. Here we are ad-
monished of the superior advantages of BRASn-
RETH's PILLS For if the blood goes too fast, from
nervous or other causes, they al4y the turmoil and
are healing balm to the brain, While should the
blood circulate t'o slowly, tinting the skin with a
dark hue they at once relieve the blood of its ex
cess OF carbon; thus they relieve the mind and re-
store the health. Should an organ be weaker than
the rest these impure matters from the blood will
be deposited This is the way Jumps, boils, tumors,
carbuncies, are produced. All are cured, often
prevented, by the use of BRASpRETH's PILLS.
