A SnENcER FROM GENERAL GRANTS FORMER
HoME.-The Humboldt Times closes an article on
political matters with the following handsome
tribute to the man who, Providence permitting,
is to preside over the destinies of this nation for
four years from the 4th of March next. 1t must
cause the cheeks of his villiiers to tingfe with
shame if they have spark of manhood left -
" Humboldt county will give good account Of
herself in November. Grant and Colfax are on
every tongue, and their names will appear on
nearly every ballot. The people may be misled
by words, but they have clean appreciation of
great and honorable deeds. AS no sophistry can
prove little Nc. to be great General and a true
patriot, while the record of his fruitless cam
paigns is open before US so no combination of
words can fasten the odium of treason or imbe-
cility on Grant. Success vindcates every sys-
tenn of strategy. Grant succeeded in crushing
the rebellion, and it follows the light the day,
that he was patriotic enough to aim to do it, and
had ability to accomplish the work. Here too
is the place-this very Humboldt county-where
the Copperhead press say General Grant passed
part of his time in idleness and vice. Most of
our people know him personally-knew him
when his enemies say he was a drunken, worth
less vagabond. And they will vote for him.
They remember him with pleasure. They have
followed his advancing fortunes with admiring
eyes, and will be delighted to crown his public
services by giving him the foremost place in the
nation. The true principles of republican liber-
ty have firm hold on the inhabitants of Hum
boldt, and the Union party is greatly in the as
cendant. Their personal knowledge of General
Grant will add to the strength of our ticket"

TERRIFIC EARrHQuAKE SHOCK IN SAN FRA

TERRIFIC EARTHQUAKE SHOCK IN SAN FRAN
cIsco.-We received at noon on Wednesday a
dispatch from E. A. Whittelsey, Esq, Superin-
tendent of the Northern Division of the Western
Union Telegraph Company, stating that San
Francisco was visited by terrific earthquake
shock at 81 o'clock that morning, which was
followed by about a dozen lighter ones, and
wound up with a very severe shock. A number
of buildings were reported in ruins, among them
a new block on California street, between San
some and Battery. The City Hall building was
SO badly damaged as to be deemed unsafe. A
number of lives reported lost, and many persons
injured by falling walls, runaway teams and fire.
The citizens were perfectly panic-stricken. The
long bridge from the ferry landing to Oakland
was so badly damaged that the cars could not
pass over it. Business was almost entirely sus-
pended during the remainder of the day.
A dispatch received from Charles w. Gordon,
at noon on the 22d, states, among other things,
that the building of Mccain, Flood & Mcclure,
on Pine street, was badly cracked. number
of dispatches have been received which lead to
the belief that the shock was the most severe one
ever experienced in San Francisco.

Election-Tuesday, November Sd.

The WATcH-FIREs BURN BRIeHrLY.-To-night
will be glorious occasion In Shasta Hon.
George G. Gorham, who has been a mighty
power throughout the present campaign, and
that earnest Southern loyalist, Hon. Charles
Westmoreland, with other speakers of note, will
be present. Music, powder and tOrchlights on
an extensive scale, will tend to render it one Of
the grandest demonstrations ever witnessed in
Northern California. The people of Shasta
county are in earnest this year; they realize tina,
the issue is whether loyalty or treason shall hold
the reins; whether patriots or traitors shall
guide the destinies of the nation /; whether the
rebellion which surrendered in 1865 shall tri.
umph in 1868; in word, whether republican
liberty, freighted with the hopes of thirty mil.
lions of people, shall be wrecked aad destroyed
by the piratical, murderous Democracy, headed
by Horatio Seymour and Frank P. Blair. We
hope Trinity will be well represented on the oc.
casion, and from present indications believe We
shall not hope in vain.

The INDIAN MURDERERs OvERTAKEN AND THEIR
PLUNDER CAPTURED.-By the arrival of the Hay
Fork express on Monday we received the follow
ing intelligence relative to the pursuit of the red
murderers of Burke. The pursuing party, num-
bering twelve white men and Indian guides took
the trail of the Indians Immediately after the
murder, and in the face of heavy rain kept it
until the red skins were overhauled in their
camp on the east side of South Fork mountain,
some forty miles from the scene of the murder.
At one time during the pursuit the Indian guides
came within rife-shot of an Indian and squaw
(the only one with them) belonging to the re-
treating party. One shot was fired, but without
effect. The camp of the murderers was on a
bluff of rocks, completely surrounded by dense
thicket. The pursuing party were as greatly
surprised as the pursued at coming so suddenly
upon them. AS fate would have it, every rife
leveled at the marauders missed FIRE, probably
from dampneSs, as the entire trip was made
through wet underground so dense that the
pursuers were often obliged tc creep on their
hands and knees. The Indians Immediately fed
in every direction, aud as the pursuing party
was nearly out of provisions, it was deemed un-
wise and useless to attempt to follow them fur
ther. One horse was found In the camp, and all
the plunder taken from Burkes house, together
with blankets, dried beef, etc. ALL that the
party could carry on the return trip was brought
away, and VIM. Ruch, who was with the party,
thinks at least two wagon loads of plunder,
which might have been Of value to the Indians,
but of no account to anybody else, was burned.
The party returned to Hay Fork on Sunday and
measures were Immediately taken to raise men
and means to fit out new company. Mr.. Ruch
believes, as do the balance of the party, that
with good guides and men of nerve, Injured to
hardship, that the red devils may yet be over
taken and disposed Of At Hay Fork, on Mon
day night, FIVE hundred dollars was subscribed
for this purpose. The enterprise is one to which
all citizens having the welfare of the county at
heart, should lend their aid, for with this ma
rauding band disposed of, there is good reason
to hope that Indian troubles will be at an end.

HER Doc SHOULDN'T WEAR Ir.-At the Ire
mont Hotel, Red Bluff, is a bright little female
eight-year-old who is intensely Radical, and
wears a Grant badge.-Not many days ago she,
accompanied by her pet dog, happened into a
place where Seymour badges were kept. She
was asked to wear one. No, she wouldn't J.
Being still importuned, she finally concluded to
take one and fasten it to the dogs neck. She
received the badge for that purpose, bnt paused,
and turning Indignantly, minded it to the donor
with the remark: mo he shan't wear it.

FEARFCL.-The Nashville Republican publishes
a tabular statement showing that one hundred

that only two of the murderers were held for tri-
al and not one convicted.

FURTHER INDIAN DEPREDATIoNs.-We neglect
ed to notice last week that the Indians had made
a raid at the st Old Corrall,' back of Cox's Bar,
killing q mule each for Wiltshire and Simonds,
and horse each for Sanburn and Olsen. They
also killed six head of cattle for Herman & Hen
messy, remaining long enough to dry the meat.
The mischief was done by the same party that
murdered Burke, as, when overhauled, they had
o large amount of dried beef in camp.

THE LAST DEMOCRATIC EFFoRT.-Luttrell and
Irwin, of Siskiyou, addressed audience con-
tanning less than hundred Democrats, last Sat-
urday night. Luttrell's speech was noted for its
bad English and slight departure from the usu-
al Democratic style. Instead of asking his hear
ers how they would like to have their daughters
marry nggers he put it, g How would you like
to have your daughter waltz with burly negro"
His proposition that the foreigner was better
citizen than the native born because he was
citizen from choice, and the native-born simply
from chance, sent several foreigners out of the
house, disgusted. Mr.. Irwin is good speaker,
but deals too much in facts to please Demo-
cratic audience. His proposition that those who
went into rebellion laid themselves liable to pun
ishment for so doing, was not relished by his
secession Democratic auditors. We have not
heard that any converts to Democracy were made
ON Saturday night. AS is usual on such occa-
sions, the mention of "nigger " always brought
down the Democratic portion of the audience.
WHEELBARRow BETs.-Two very sensible bets
have been made within the past week. The con-
ditions of the first are that if Grant carries CAL
iforna, s. Fl. Owens is to wheel r. Clifford from
Tinnn's residence, in Faggtown, to the Court
House. If the State goes for Seymour, Clifford
is to propel the wheelbarrow, with Owens aboard
The second bet is that if Grant is elected " Hap
py Jack " is to wheel a sack of -four from juno
tion City to Weaverviile-eight good, long miles.
If Seymour is elected, Jere'h Bennett wheels the
sack of -four from Weaverville to junction City
We guess Owens wheels Clifford, and are.certain
"Jack " will transport the -four, if the terms of
the contract are lived up to.

The DEFEAT OF VALLANDiGHAM.-Our election
reports give us the pleasing intelligence OF the
defeat of Vallandigham for Congress. There
could have been greater insult to the loyal
American people than the election of that cow
ardly traitor; man who, when sent from the
North into the Southern Confederacy which he
professed so ardently to love, was sent from that
government, as a useless incumberance, to the
island of New Providence, whence he escaped to
Canada, and finally ventured into the United
States more contemplate and wicked traitor
never lived Had his counsel prevailed, his ma
tive State would have been disgraced and bound
in chains to the tyrannical South. It astonishes
loyal men how such traitors can be nominated
for office, or receive single vote. Ohio dis
graced herself in the election of Thurman as
United States Senator, but far worse would the
disgrace have been had Vallandigham been sent
to Congress. Thank God that shame was not
inflicted on the Buckeye State. The election OF
JEFF. Davis would have been far more acceptable
to loyal men than his. He will trouble US no
more.-Oakland Neacs.
johnson, the Democratic candidate for Con-
gresham from this District, is a man of the same
stamp. He is of the class which to-day recog-
nizes Forrest, Vallandigham and Toombs, as
leaders of his party. They delight in talking
about dispensing State Governments and coerc-
ing Senate of loyal men at the point of the
bayonet when Seymour and Blair shall be ele-
waited to power. Many honest Democrats who
do not feel like knucklng to the old slavocracy
are beginning to view the situation in its proper
light, as johnson will ascertain after the elec-
ton.
