Hon. A. A. SARGEYT-The Solapo Herald, re-
ferring to the departure Of Hon. A. A. Sargent
for the scene of his Congressional abors, indul-
ges in the hope that through his influence, COM
bined with that of Senator Cole and Hon. Geo.
e. Gorham, there may be complete and total
reformation in the management of the Mare ISL
and Navy Yard. 1t attributes, and correctly,
too, the defeat of Mr.. Harrison to the {" malarious
influence of that sink-hole of Johnsonian cop
perheadism as at present conducted" We sim
cerely hope that the suggested cleaning-out may
quickly follow the Inauguration of Grant, and
that not single appointee of Johnsons will be
permitted to retain position there. The dom-
nant party in California, as in duty bound, want
to DEMO, the old Master Mason who made
such thorough and effective canvass of the
State last Fall, returned to the place from which
he was dismissed because he dared to openly
express his opposition to the policy of treach-
American-born citizens from employment to
make room for copperheads of foreign BIRTH
And these servile tools reelected johnson to
Congress from the Third District. 1t is crafty
ing to hope that the day of retributon is near
at hand, and that the political influences emana-
ting from the California Navy Yard will be in ia
vor of instead of against the friends of the Ma
tional Administration. Mr.. Sargent is fully
aware of the condition of things at that Gov
ernmcnt institution.

PARTING WORDS.

win THIS number my connection with the
TRINITY Journal, and my editorial association
with its readers will cease
have been with the paper from its first issue
January 26th, ls56-without interruption, to
the present, through all the space of thirteen
years. 1t is not possible for me to withdraw
from long and pleasant association with old
neighbors and steadfast friends without emo
tons of regret and expressions of sincere thank
fulness. My enterprise, started with boyish en-
thusiasm, and no capital save industry and
love of the profession, has been most literally
sustained by the people of Weavervile and Trim
ity county, and in seyering the ties which have
so long existed, can have no hope or expccta-
ton of finding friends more faithful, devoted
and munifcent. Looking back through the past
thirteen years, the space is peopled with pleas
ant recollectons - scarcely memory that l
would have blotted out, unless it be that of fail
ure to discharge the whole duties of journalist
to people who have manifested so much of
kindness, forbearance and devotion. The aus
tere winters have come and gone the beautiful
spring has unfolded the gentle summer has
passed into mournful autumn, yet the friendship
and goodness of the people among whom cast
my lot so early have endured like the evergreens
of our mountains, unchanged by season, I'M
bleached by frost, unseared by summer heat.
Many have departed: some to the voiceless sane
tuary of the grave others to their old homes
and still others to new abodes but from all the
living have returned the kindlest remembrance
of old times and full appreciation of the open
hearted generosity of the people of Trinity
county.
AS private enterprise, the JOURNAL has been
measuraby successful. 1t has always main
tanned a creditable place among its cotempora-
ries and will here take occasion to express nv
obligations and gratitude to the press OF the
State for the uniform kindness and courtesy ex-
tended the journal which am now about to sur
render to other hands, with the full belief that
it will be no less worthy of their consideration
and friendship.
1t seems unnecessary to prolong article
which to myself is productive of only regretful
emotions. Let it suffice that my own business
interests appear to lead in another direction and
having discharged my duty to the best of my
ability, with an honest purpose and good will to
all, now bid a kind and grateful farewell to my
old friends and neighbors. And as often as the
New Year shall return, may peace, prosperity
and happiness gather about and abide by all the
homes of Trinity, and may Friendship, Love and
Truth linger by every hearth-stone forever
DAVID E. GORDON.

THE RELIGION OF CHRIsT.-In his Christ

THE RELIGION CHRIsT.-In his Christmas
article the editor of the Oakland Transcript made
use of the following wise and commendable sug-
gestons &c If the Christian religion be an i'm
posture, it has been the most wonderful fanati-
csm that ever overcame the minds of men, and
contrary to the general rule of other supersti-
tious creations, its course has been followed by
civilization, enlightenment, science, refinement,
freedom and national greatness. The Kingdom
of Christ endureth forever, extends with the
progress of civilization and builds its altar hard
by the most luminous shrine of learning. For
centuries there has not been an hour when its
prayers and praises did not arise to Heaven from
every quarter of the globe, or when its faithful
missionaries laden with the burden of saliva
ton, were not exploring their way into the dark
ATTITUDES of paganism. The Star of Bethlehem
which first appeared to the astronomy of the
humble shepherds, will be the last to fall from
the zodiac. and will remain steadfast and clori-
Gus in the desert heavens from which expiring
suns shall have departed"

of smallpox have been made by the Health Off
Ger and other physicians, showing most malig-

upon the internal organs and membranes, and
even upon the brain and its integuments. This
particular type of the plague is known '' black

A NEW YEAR.-New-Year's day has come
again, and the falling snow-fakes which ushered
It in, clothing the earth with its wintry mantle
of white, calls wildly tomnd the scenes of an
other cline, when joyous youth We'd with matu-
rity and age, to welcome the advent of the New
Year. Years have passed since we looked upon
those scenes-fourteen annual returns of the day
have passed amid the mountains of old Trim
ity, and now that we are soon to leave them,
messed during that time.
Comparatively few of those who welcomed the
New Year of 1856 in Weavervile are with us to-
day. Some have returned to Eastern homes,
others have sought a permanent home in the
rich valleys of the Southern counties, while ma
ny, alas, too many, dwell in their silent homes
in the city of the dead yonder hillside
And some that we wot of laid down their
lives that our country might live. All hon.
or to their names and memories. The little
children that played in the streets have grown
to mans and woman's estate, and as happy
wives and husbands now, look on in quiet joy to
see the childish sports of their own little ones.

MANHOOD NINDICATED. - Chicago is funny
city, and funny things occur in it. The latest
is thus gravey told by the Tribune of that city
'"Tbere lives in of pretty little streets a
handsome little widow, who shall be nameless
in this story, though exploits similar to those
recently enacted by her have given many wo-
man extensive newspaper reputation. She
was courted by gentleman living in the same
neighborhood a.; a tradesman well to do in the
world; but, for some unknown reason, mar
rage between them did not follow. The gentle
man, in due time, married another lady, and to
this day, though three long years have elapsed,
the result of that marriage has been frutless.
Each did not hold the other biameless. Not
quite a year ago. the lady visited some friends in
another city, remaining away from home about
two weeks. The sparkling, vivacious widow
living in the vicinity, and so well acquainted
with the family, you know was selected to look
into the house occasionally, and see that every
thing was kept in order. She did so. The re-
suit of her attention to her neighbours house
hold affairs was not, as in her neighbours case,
fruitless. The tradesman is father, and, re-
markable it may appear, happy father.
When his wife upbraided him for neglect, cru
eltv, and called him brute, he smiled kindly at
her tears, and pleaded guilty to portion of the
indictment only, alleging that he was not in
clined 10 run after strange gods, but that he
simply wanted to demonstrate beyond the shadow
of a doubt that it was possible for him to vind-
cate manhood She dried up her tears, thought
the matter over, and finally admitted what she
had hitherto denied-that it was her falkland
that she would freely forgive him, and adopt the
child MS her own, if he would never attempt a
second yindcaton. And she will keep her
word

TO OUR PATRONS.

Having sold our entire interest in the Jour-
NAL to Edward P. Lovejoy and Julius Andrews,
we leave the paper with the hope and assurance
that the liberal patronage and good will which
has so long been extended it will be continued.
Mr.. Andrews has been connected with the office
for nearly two years is an experienced and
thorough printer, and in every respect qualified
to take charge Of the mechanical department
of the paper. In the ready and fearless pen
of Mr.. Lovejoy the people of Trinity will ever
find an able auxiliary In every emergency where
her vital interests may be affected. With them
we leave the JOURNAL in the hope thst the great
est prosperity may result from their newly-at-
tempted enterprise.
Those who have paid for the paper in advance
will continue to receive it as if no change had
taken place Those indebted for year or more
to the present date win settle with the retiring
publisher, while those owing for portions Of a
year can arrange with the new proprietors. All
advertising accounts are made to the present
date. Again hoping that the paper will be lib
orally sustained, we bid adieu to our old friends
and patrons.

TRANSFER or THE INDIAN BUREAU TO THE Wan
DEpARrMEST.-The Humboldt Times congratu-
lates the people of Northern California on the
probable tran sfers as speedy, certain and final
settlement of the vexed question. The PROPOSE
ton has already passed the lower House of Con-
gress by the decisive majority Of one hundred
and sixteen to thirty-three. With the Times. we
consider this action as meaning nothing more
nor less than that the opinions of reasoning
thinking and observing men are at last shaping
themselves to meet and provide for necessity
that the events of late years, if not of many gen.
erations, have pointed to as acknowledgements
nation That the Indian and white races cannot
live together does not admit of doubt EyerS
DAYS experience and observation for the last two
hundred years demonstrates the fact, and the
simple question of to-day is, which of the two
shall yield. The great commission of extending
civilization has been placed in the hands of the
white race. In this mission they can neither
pause or turn aside. If race with whom they
come in contact will not yield to influences of
civilization, it must abide its fate and perish
Such we believe to be the position of the In
dams with reference to the whites. We hail this
action of one branch of Congress with pleasure,
aud hope like result may follow in the other.
1t gives promise that the tomahawk, the scalp
ing-knife and the flaming torch will some day be
forever buried, and that our hardy frontiersmen
and pioneers will enjoy perfect immunity from
the depredatons of their red-handed and blood
thirsty foe.
