RanRrAD.-Congress has passed the bill
granting lands to the Oregon branch of the
Central Pacific Railroad This branch road
rs surveyed from Winncmucca, on the Hum
boldt river. to Eugene City, Oregon, and
from thence to Salem. where it will connect
with the Portland..roa The passage of this
bill is regarded by many as killing the Cali
fornia and Oregon railroad enterprise through
Shasta, Rogue River and Uwpqua valleys
1t is the general impression that road will
be built from Orovllle to point somewhere
in this county, and then branch off through
the Pitt river country and intersect the Ore
gon line from Winnemucca to Portland
somewhere in the vicinity of Goose Lake.

PRoPHETIc IREAM.-A friend of ours, says
the Gold Hill News, who, by the way, is a
strong disbeliever in dreams, informs us of
the following singular circumstance in that
line, of the truth of which he has personal
knowledge. Timothy Griffin, boarding at the
Vesey House. Gold Hill, who had been a
miner in the Yellow Jacket mine for the last
SIX or seven months, had dream on Monday
night, in which some underlined presence
seemed to tell him that if he went down into
the mine again something terrible would
happen to him. So strongly was this war
ming impressed upon his mind that he con-
cluded to quit work altogether, and left for
San Francisco Tuesday night only few
hours previous to the appalling disaster of
Wednesday morning, so fatal to human life.

town, Wash Thompson, Jake Bdrdell. and a
man named Cisn captured Indian Tom, who
killed Charley Lennon last year. At the
time of bis capture Tom was looking at the
dancers. not apprehending any danger from
those around him. As soon as it became
known that be was captured, crowd OF in-
dignans squaws assailed the captors with
sticks, but one of the assaulting party was
Knocked down with a revolver, when the bal
ance retreated precipitately. Tom was
wounded by the shot fred at him by Under
Sheriff jackson several months ago. One
buck shot struck him in the back of the head
but glanced of without penetrating the skull;
another passed through his shoulder, inaict
ing a flesh wound. The desperate was
brought into town on Tuesday night and
lodged in his old quarters in the Jail. Safety
to the community deman Is the prompt hang
ing of this scoundrel. The fact that he has
repeatedly threatened the lives of number
Of citizens. and declared his intention Of
firing the town, should secure him speedy
passage across the river Styx without ex-

SURVEY THE LANDs.-The great necessity
of Shasta county is the want of legal survey
of the public lands lying within its borders
II the U. S. Surveyor Of this State would only
authorize a survey of the public lands of this
county. hundreds Of acres would be entered
Immediately thereafter, and the county would
receive much additional revenue from taxes
derived from lands so entered. Give men
titles to the lands they occupy, and they Will
become permanent settlers, will erect more
substantial improvements, and become better
and more industrious citizens. There are
many men in this county who have held
lands by presumption titles for years, waiting
for survey so that they might enter their
claims and receive Government titles. The
interests of these men, and the interests of
the Government and the county. demand
that survey of our public lands be made
We hope the U. S. Surveyor will give the
matter his attention.

DESPERATE FIGHT WITH CATAMoUNTs.-The
Elmira New York; Gazette, of March 9th,
has this:
Brooks. Nmrod living in the Neversink
region. Sullivan county, surprised two old
wildcats with four kittens in a cavern in the
woods one day recently and attacked them
with only club for weapon. A desperate
conflict ensued, in which the daring woods
man came out victorious. although his whole
body and limbs were frighttully lacerated,
and the blood fairly ran from his wounds.
An inventory of his wardrobe, taken after
the fight, exhibited one suspender, about
halfa vest, one leg Of pantaloon, no shirt
to speak of and pair of boots that wouldn't
" shed heavy dew" as Brooks expressed it.
Brooks tied the tails of the six wildcats to-
gether, and swinging them around his neck
he walked home with his trophies.

DEcoMPosING RAPIDLY.-The Gold Hill

DEcoMPosING RAPIDLY.-The Gold Hill
News says:
The rapid decomposition of the bodies of
those who were lost in the great mining ac-
cident at Gold Hill, is quite as strange and
hard to be understood as anything connected
with the sad afFlir The smell of the bodies
which were last brought up is said to have
been almost intolerable, and the flesh of some
of them seemed as much decayed as though
they bad been dead for month. This is
supposed to have been caused by the great
heat to which the bodies were exposed, and
to the effects of the bad air and poisonous
gases, filling the lower parts of the mines. 1t
is suid that the flesh of some of those last
brought up was so decayed that the fingers of
those handling the bodies would penetrate it
upon the%sl'ghtest pressure. Those who
assisted in taking out the bodies say they
will never, to the latest day of their lives,
furget the peculiar smell which they gave out
1t will be an awful task to bring out the bod
les of those still remaining in the mines
The filing of the mines with steam will
doubtless add greatly to the heat, and must
hasten the decomposition of all the bodies
remaining below.

Shameful Isarbarity.

Every few days we read accounts in the
San Francisco papers of the most shameful
and atrocious barbarities having been inflict
ed upon sailors while at sea- They are shot and
killed outright, are cut and stabbed and
knocked down with bludgeons by the officers
of our ships with the most perfect impunity.
These outrages, we are sorry to say, are gen.
orally perpetrated on board American ships
commanded and offcered by American citi
zens. Many of these officers appear-to leave
all feelings of humanity behind them when
they leave port, and are no sooner launches
on blue water than they commence perpe-
trating such abuses upon the men under
them as would bring the blush of shame to
the cheeks of heathens. We sometimes boast
of our superiority over the English, but
the fact is sailors receive far better treatment
and enjoy more protection on board English
than they do in American ships. If an Eng
lish officer infficts outrages on a seaman he
can be convicted for the offense, and if con-
victed, is not only punished for the ofense
severely, but suffers disgrace ever afterwards.
American commanders and officers abuse,
cripple and often kill seamen at sea, and are
very seldom punished therefor. ifindeed they
are arrested. This shameful brutality has
become so notorious that an American ship
can scarcely secure q crew at the port of San
Francisco, and are compelled to resort to the
% shanghaeing" process to obtain their men.
American seamen will sail in foreign vessels
in preference to those commanded by their
own countrymen.
These facts call for consideration. anc
unless some stringent regulation is adopted
and enforced for the protection of seamen,
the American merchant service will further
deteriorate for want of respectable seamen to
man our ships.
To see one of these rascally commanders
on shore, person not posted would imagine
them to be very pious and inoffensive gentle
men. No intoxicating liquors are allowed
about them. and they never partake of food
without saying very long grace but this
assumed santliness no longer deceives Amer
lean seamen, who cannot be induced to trust
their lives and limbs on the same vessel with
one of these human sharks.

BAcK-BoNE.--A few days ago, when mo

The Clerk complied. and solitary and alone

son, who died of hydrophobia at Saddle

men. and during his lucid intervals begged
to kiss his wife, who was very i'll in another

dreadful fit he pleaded so piteously to kiss
her once more before he died that, risking
the consequences, they took her to his he'd.
The dying man carefully wiped the froth
from bis face, and compresslug his teeth
tightly, to prevent any of the poisonous saliva

The bill for the Reconstruction of Virginia.
Texas and Mississippi, which has just passed

is versatility enough in Congress to devise
some harder condition still. 1t was possible
for those States to resume the management
of their own affairs by the adoption of the
Fourteenth Amendment. They sullenly re-
fused TO do so, and now the Fifteenth is
added. If they should again hesitate, a
