FROM PORTUGUE FLAT.

Our occasional correspondent, "John-
son." furnishes us the following items
under date of January 3rd:
Our miners, who have been wishing for
water so long have at last got their fill.
The bitches are all broken, dams generally
washed out, and now the cry is "too much
water, and we will have to lay off until the
rain stops and gives us chance to repair
The wagon road is in better condition
now than [ ever saw it before at this time
of year.
Uncle Phillips had "balP at his Slate
Creek store on New Years night. Of
course everybody went to the New Years
ball, and no party was ever more enjoyed
than this. think some of the dancers
are dancing yet.
George Burt, who had been laying over
here two days waiting for the streams to fall,
81 he could cross tie ferry, left yesterday
for home. l learn that in crossing the
Little Dog Greek bridge, his team got the
advantage of him and run the. wagon off
the bridge. In going off the loaded
wagon capsized and pulled the team into
the creek after it. One of the mules, a
valuable animal, was so badly injured
that Burtt shot it in order to end its
misery. The total damage by the accident
will amount to $780, Burt and two other
men were on the wagon when it started to
turn over, but all escaped without injury.
Luck has certainly been against George SO
far, but his friends hope it will hereafter
run in his favor

FROM SODA SPRINGS.

Friend Washington Baily, of Lower
Soda Spings, sends the following items
under date of January 4th.
Rain commenced falling at this Station
on the 18th of December and has continued
almost without intermission until within
the last few days, when snow set in. At
this time the snow is six inches deep at
my place, and is two feet or more in depth
on the summit between here and Yreka
The road is in pretty rough condition,
but is better than one would suppose, con-
sidering the amount of rain and snow that
has fallen.
About all we can do here at present is
to build fires, and occasionally 60 out and
bring in a fat "venison" We have brought
in two since the storm set in, and my hired
man is now out after one that he wounded
yesterday. Deer are far more scarce this
year than they were last year at this time.
The water courses have all been higher
than for years past but have not yet reach
ed the high water mark Of 1862. The
stages and mails have been detained some,
but make pretty regular trips.
(We hope to hear from our friend often }

TRINITY COUNTY.

From the Journal of the 9th we learn
that the miners are all at work with plenty
of water, and that the prospects of large
gold yield and good times in Trinity are
excellent.
A petition praying the Postal Depart
ment to establish daily mail between
Weavervlle and Shasta has been circulated
and generally signed. Sucha Inailis great
ly needed.
Charley Williams, driver of the Weaver
and Shasta stage encountered fifteen inches
of snow on Trinity mountain last week.
He has probably struck it deeper than that
since
The Journal has at last got rid of that
Seward and Morton Presidential ticket
By remodeling and reconstructing its pages
Let "Uncle Snort" and "Jaciuto" jubi-
late.
The opinion is freely expressed that the
Sacramento river road is inferior to the
SCOTS Mountain road as winter mail
route
The boys of eaverville, or some of them
at least, are rough set, and annoy busi-
ness men and others by their yells and noise
on the street to such an extent that the
forcible abatement of the nuisance is con-
templated. (Remarks-The merchants
and citizens of Red Bluff have had to ap-
peal for protection against the juvenile
roughs of that town, and Shasta is often
disgraced by the yells, curses, and obsceni-
ty of a lot Of young hoodlums. The man.
ner in which some of the boys in Shasta
are allowed to run the streets day and
night, as free range vagabonds, would JUS
tify the conclusion that certain parents
entertain serious doubts as to the legitima-
cy of the hopefuls bearing their names, and
were consequently Indifferent as to their
future)
"Jacinto" the partner of "ijommodore'
or "Uncle Snort" has been running coal
pit for some time, near Douglas City, but
the following hit which be makes on Gree
ley shows that his mind was not idle while
the manufacture Of charcoal was going on
"The Old Philosopher may understand
the science of farming thoroughly, but l
can discount him on raising savage watch
dogs. The following is my plan: Toraise
savage watch-dogs plant your sausage deep,
manure with decomposed dog-wood bark,
and when fairly in blossom cut their tails
off and chain them up, (not the tails but
the pups and stick the tails in the ground
for seed"

sIsKIYoU COUNTY.

We collate the following from the Yreka
papers
The journal learns that Big Valley on
Pit River "promises to be very important
businesspoint during the coming Summer" !"
and thinks Yreka can secure the bulk of
the trade.
The eipeople are universally signing pc
tition against the repeal of the fence law.
H. G. Ticknor has almost completed his
wagon road from Yreka to Hot Springs Val
ley, and will soon start an express line
over the route to Alden in Big Valley.
Captain Myers, Of Butteville, who start
ed for San Francisco with 800 head OF fat
cattle, was caught in the heavy storm be-
tween the Sacramento and Pit River ferries,
where feed is very scarce, and at last ac-
counts was iosking for good place below
Eaton's to swim his cattle across Pit, the
ferry boat not being considered safe at "high
tide"
In attempting to crossSbe mail at the
upper Sacramento ferry few days ago, the
swiftness of the current swamped the boat,
and if Superintendent Smith had not
promptly cut one of the ropes, allowing the
boat to swing around to the bank, boat and
all would have been swept away.
District Attorney Shearer has resigned
his office, and the Supervisors censure him
on account of his failure to enforce the law
against delinquent taxpayers for the past
four years in direct violation of law. The
Board appointed Thos.7A Bantz to fill
Shearer's unexpired term, and ordered him
to proceed at once to collect the delinouent
tax or the appointment will be revoked
The Journal says:
"This matter of several thousand dollars
delinquent every year, has aroused the in
dignation of several taxpayers, who openly
threaten to refuse to pay any more taxes if
certain parties are to be considered privi-
legged characters"
Superintendent Godfrey receives from
$1,000 to Sl400 per annum, all but $500
Of which is for travelling expenses.

THE PROPERTY OF THE STATE
SHOULD BE TAXED TO EDUCATE

We fully senderse the following senti-
ments. the Amador Ledger, in advocacy
of the principles laid down in Senator
Larkin's School Bill:
Intelligence is not local, nor should the
means that produces intelligence be locallz-
ed. The boy receiving the crude rudimerts
of knowledge in some obscure corner, is
nevertheless one of the general mass and
equally entitled to the States solicitude as
the more fortunate of the metropolis, where
from an aggregation of property in liml-
ted area, local tax is produced, giving
him advantages of education denied his
brother in the obscure corner. Yet, should
the obscure boy possess genius, that would
elevate him above his surroundings, what
ever talent he may possess, does not belong
to the obscure spot where circumstances
placed him, but his genius and intelligence
becomes part of the mental wealth of thu
State. Therefore, we repeat, the children
of the commonwealth should not be
dependent upon the financial condition of
the localities wherein they reside for means
of education, they are children of the State
and in time must bear It's burdens, and
hence, the State should prepare them for
it. Would any injustice be done to any
part of the State, or to any class of citizens,
should the property in the State, be taxed
for the purpose of general education? The
greater the intelligence the more secure
the title and protection of property, to say
nothing of the greater security Of life.
Millions of dollars have been granted to
corporations, for the construction of works
claimed to be of public benefit, and yet
these subsidies were part and parcel of
the heritage of communities living remote,
and deriving no benefit from the works
they were subsidized to erect Can public
interest, be more properly or beni6cially
advanced than by general education of the
eople?

RAIN.-It has rained, day and night
since our last issue, and the cry is, Sand
still it rains" All the creeks and 7rivers
booming, and as nobody comes in or leaves
town, local news is scarce We expect to
chronicle some good strikes in the mines
shortly, however, as the boys have splen-
did show to put in big licks.
DR.. Shurtleff infoms us that the total
rainfall in Shasta for the season up to noon
on the 18th instant, is 65.76 inches. Can
Oregon beat this. We claim that Shasta
is the champion rainfall County of the
State.
The Shasta courier., 1872-01-13

TAxEs.-The Auditor gives notice to
delinquent taxpayers in this weeks issue.
District Attorney Taylor also assures us
that he will enforce the law in con-
formity with the duties of his Office. The
interests of the County, and justice to
prompt taxpayers, demands that in case
delinquents neglect or refuse to pay their
proportion of taxes, their property should
be sold under execution to satisfy the
claim.
The Shasta courier., 1872-01-13

FIsK.-On the 9th instant, one Stokes
shot and mortally wounded the notorious
James Fisk, at the Grand Central Hotel,
New York Fisk died the following day.
The manner in which he was shot down,
without warning or opportunity for defense,
was cowardly, and is severely condemned
by even those who regarded deceased as a
bad and unprincipled man. The affair is
said to have been caused by lawsuits and
rivalry between Fisk and Stokes for the
smiles of that handsome but tickle freelov-
er, Josephine Mansfield. Stokes has been
arrested, consigned to the Tombs, and has
already been indicted for the murder

HER ExPERIENcE.-At the Urbana,
Ohio, camp-meeting, young woman in
relating her experience" said she
never enjoyed religion properly until
she got acquainted with a minister on the

her for long walks in the woods. Rev.
Mr.. Inskip remarked that he was glad to
know the young lady was so happy, but
advised her to look out that the devil had
no part in the arrangement.
