CENTENNIAL "49 ERs."-We re-
ceived letter the other day from an
old friend, at present In Mendocino
county, CAL, in which he informs
us of a Centennial expedition that
seems unique in its conception.
"There is a company" he writes,
"being made up in this and Sonoma
county, of which your humble SER
want is a member and promoter, to
visit the Centennial at Philadelphia
in the approaching summer. 1t will
be composed solely of 49'ers. We
propose going the entire distance
from Sacramento or Reno to Phila-
delphia overland with pack train.
The following is a condensed pro-
gramme as arranged by o. C. and
myself: Each man of the company
will proportionately subscribe funds
sufficient to purchase 10 camels, 20
pack horses, a band of from 40 to go
Spanish and eayuse horses, besides
our rifles, pistols, etc. We also pro-
pose to take with us 80 or 40 Pitt
River, Modoc and Elk River In
dams, and six Spanish Vaqueros.
We will be amply provided with
tents, provisions, etc., and propose
to reach Philadelphia in 60 days
from Reno. After crossing the
Missouri and entering the States we
intend TO assume the miners garb OF
40. If a suitable place can be OBJ
tanned, o. C. will, with the Vaqueros,
give exhibitions of California horse
manship and the mode Of capturing,
branding and tanning the wild stock
OF this country. There will also be
war and other dances by the H.
dams and the primative method of
mining in 49," He ends his letter
by desiring to know If 10 camels can
be purchased in this country? In
answer we say yes, but cannot at
present tell what the cost would be.
Quite number are at present in
Walker River Valley, many OF them
having been bred in this country.
We should like to witness that caval-
cade's arrival at the Centennial. We
imagine it will create some little
sensation. We hardly think the
long hair and beard, gray shirts and
blue overalls, with ga conspicuous
self rising" patch on the front-when
you look behind you-would be ex
,clly in tho fashion. We wish them
III success In their enterprise.

WAR.

To have or not to have war, that's
the question which at present agi-
tates many minds. We do not say
the public mind, for we imagine the
d,ar public have SO far taken no
lively interest in this question except
as it may affect the quality and price
of Havana cigars. On a popular
vote we believe the decision would
be for Intervention in behalf of hui
mainly and peace, and infer from
the Washington dispatches that nego-
tiations with Spain are in danger Of
being of without hope Of peaceful
adjustment. From the tone of the
Spanish Government it was thought
they would make certain concessions
in the interest of reform acceptable
10 the United States; but the naughty
and obstinate clique of the Casino
are not willing to abate one jot from
its original demands They will listen
to no conditions but the immediate
surrender of all the insurgent forces
at discretion. Threats of foreign in
tervention or appeals of the Home
Government have no effect. For
over seven years they have main
tanned a rule of terror in Havana.
President Grant plainly showed In
his late message that he was tired of
this unnecessary bloodshed and the
fearful atrocities practiced by the
Spaniards. And were it to come to
an issue of war between the United
States and Spain, notwithstanding
her navy is superior to ours, it would
be but question Of time. In all
probability, not more than q year
would elapse before the grandees
would sue for peace. We think the
only question now 10 the opinion
which may exist in Congress on the
subject. The House being largely
Democratic, two reasons may deter
them from favoring war: one, that
in war its heroes being closer and
dearer to the popular heart, would
act against any man of their party |
securing the much-coveted Presiden-
tial chair; again, they feel THAT they
were slighted in not having their re-
quest scceded to and the entire for
eign correspondence laid before
them. They concluded from this
and the mysterious naval operations
that the President intended to plunge
The country into war before they

could have an opportunity of inter-
posing any efectual opposition. As
the whole matter now stands, the
least thing will turn the scale, and
any day or hour the wires may flash
the news and the cannon, in tones OF
thunder. announce war.

CENTENNIAL OBJECTS.

Senator C. G. Stevenson has re.
turned from Philadelphia and tells
US such fine accounts of what Is 60
ing on, what will be done and what
we must expect, that it fires our
patriotic heart. We consider this
Centennial the grandest project OF
the century. II it we're originated
only for the purpose Of an exhibit
ton Of beautiful and curious objects
we would say very little, but 1t has
a higher object, which had birth In
patriotic hearts and will be carried
to perfection by patriotic hands. The
value of the exhibition to all who
are interested in the study Of the
relative developments Of nations will
be incaloulable. Alter the Centen-
NAL any person who has visited and
noted carefully its different features,
will have q better idea of the nations
which are represented, than If they
were. to travel a year for every
month SO devoted. We do not in
tend to speak here Of the value OF
the Fair. A wise man said: "Show
me the books you read and will
describe your characters" show US
the articles q nation makes, the ma
chimes it invents, the pictures 1t
paints, the furniture and apparel it
uses, the food 1t prepares and we can
Judge Of its arts, its laws and its
domestic life. To the man OF science,
the artist, the mechanic, the farmer
and the miner it will be an illustra-
ted book of the worlds progress
such as no mortal ever before Pc
rused. Its pages will contain knowl-
edge not only wrought by a CEN
tury's labor, but those yellow and
dim with age. The lessons to be
taught will remain to guide and in
spire while life exists. This is not
all 1t will teach, for when we have
gathered the products of our country
and set them forth in orderly array
beside those of other nations OF the
earth, we shall better appreciate our
own resources. We are more boun-
tifully endowed by nature than auy
other land the sun shines upon. We
are young, strong, inventive and
ouick.witted. No oppressive Gov
eminent cripples our industries; no
hostile ueighbors threatens US; we
have not the burden of standing
army. In comparing our condition
with that Of other people, We shall
more plainly realize our own bless
ings and perceiving what we lack
We shall make a greater effort to
remedy Encouragement our power
and leave to our descendants such
heritage of prosperity, wealth and
glory as no other people ever be-
queathed, and only to be conceived
and perfected by nation blessed
with liberty and peace.

OUR CABINET.
Rich Specimens from Humboldt
County

We received through the kind
ness of Mr.. Duncan McLain, late OF
Unionville, Humboldt County, a
box of rare and elegant specimens
from some of the principal mines OF
that section of the State. We have
taken the trouble to have them
nicely labeled and they now occupy
honored places in our cabinet.
Among them is one from the Ala
Gran mine in Humboldt County. 1t
is black, rusty piece OF quartz
profusely studded with large pieces
of coarse gold. Another is from
the Liberty mine in the same coun-
ty, which is one of the richest and
most beautiful of the collection. 1t
is of white quartz, with wide
streaks of black sulphrets of silver
No. 3 is from the Arizona mine IN
the same county and very much re-
sembles. the specimen from the
Liberty, having like seams OF
black sulphrets with precious
metals. No. 4-small but rare-ls
from the Devon mine, Table Noun
tain District, of the same county,
and is one of the finest specimens OF
galena we ever saw. No. 5, from
the Inskep mine, looks like dry
pieces of yellow clay, but is exceed
ingly rich. No. 6, from the Luna
mine, formerly known as the Mil
lionaire, at that time owned by ..
K. Stampley, who has represented
Humboldt County in the State
Senate. 1t is copper-stained but
rich in silver. No. 7, from the
Mountain Queen mine, Table
Mountain District, is singular
looking specimen, being quartz,
with iron and copper stains, con-
tanning both minerals and probably
some baser metals, but very rich
in gold and silver. No. 8 from the
celebrated Sheba mine, Star Dis
trict, is surprising rich, being
thickly coated with crystalized
silver, and black sulphrets of the
same metal. Nos. 9 and 10 are
from the White Cloud mine-fne
specimens of copper ore. We also
have a mica specimen from the
Mica mine IN Humboldt County and
some fine fossils from the American
District, Humboldt County, from
the same place Professor Franz
Stewart obtained his. We have
also in our collection-fne specimens
of ore and minerals from the 1 Am,
Manitowoc, Tallulak, Gem mine

and several others, with magniti

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The following I dispatch from
Washington is worthy of more than
passing consideration "Informa-
ton has been received that Bear
Wolf, a Grow chief, has been at
Fort Pease at the mouth of Big
Horn; that he had battle with the
Sioux, killing six, and that forty or
fifty Sious are around Fort Pease.
killing the inhabitants at every op-
portunity, five persons having al
ready been wounded" So long as
Indians fight between themselves,
we have nothing to say, except 1t
be to urge them on. But when they
commence slaughtering white mon
we object. Wedon't pretend to say
that these people have suffered no
wrongs. In fact we feel certain
they have been in many instances
swindled in an atrocious manner,
an d in their ignorance, and follow
ing the natural instinct OF the wild
animal that never has, or never will
be civilized, they retaliate. They
are shrewd enough to known they
can make no stand against an or
ganized body, SO tiger-like they
attack the unguarded. A short
time ago we endeavored to show
the benefit of placing the Indians
under control of the War Depart
ment, and do away with Indian
agents, preachers and quakers, as
they had been tried and found want
ing. We believe the present Con-
gress can do nothing that will place
them in better light with the peo-
pie than to pass a bill to that effect.
At any rate it is worth trying as our
present system is deficient in so
many respects that it is really the
worst feature of our government.
What in the world IS to become OF
San Francisco That fair city sitting
on the golden sands Of California;
the reservoir of wealth for the Pa
cific Coast; the lap into which the
wide and deep streams of silver from
Nevada is constantly pouring. 1t
has been tor some time terribly per-
secuted by hoodlums-a specie OF
genus homo, apparently peculiar to
this Coast. True, many OF these
have been sent to the Industrial
School, but by Judge Wheeler's
decision in the case of the boy
O'Conor, there is fair prospect OF
one hundred and ninety-nine OF
these graceless scamps being lie
loose to garrote, prey and harfas'
her people. The records OF tina
school show that there are LA boy
and IS girls entitled to be released
We hope this decision may be re
versed. We hope SO for the futur
of the girls. In the school they will
be taught something better thai
hoodlumism, and while they ar
there, their teachings and the bette
thoughts and impulses which com
with time will impress them with
desire and determination to lead
better and purer life.

An adolescent cricket was picking
his teeth one day after dinner, and
meditating upon the Malthusian
theory, and how nice it was to enjoy
single blessedness instead of having
to skirmish around after wife's grub
when just then an acquisitive pullet
came along and gobbled him mp.
Moral Matrimony should not be
despised, for if that cricket had had
a wife the pullet might have gobbled
her instead. It's easy enough to get
another wife, but very difficult to get
out of a pullet's craw.

We think Gen. Ord should be al
lowed to follow his plan in regard to
the Texican and Mexican border
troubles. He says if the Govern
ment will give him larger force OF
cavalry to follow the cattle thieves
when they commit their raids and
punish them the thing will soon cease
He further says the National Govern
ment of Mexico is not responsible
for the actions Of these marauders,
as each State is expected to main
tain order and peace within their
respective boundaries. According
to that we cannot use this wrong as
q handle to declare war against that
country, and in justice to a strng-
Cling Republic we should do all
within our power to assist them, and
use every effort to squelch these
vagabonds who make living by
stealing from their neighbors.

Sir Rutherford Alcock, who has q
minute and comprehensive knowf-
edge OF his subject, is deeply im-
pressed with the power and the per-
manent character ofthe Chinese En-
pire. Adopting the largest estimate
Of the population, he justly holds
that a community Of 400, O0o, 900 men
under single government, and with
the same language and constitutions,
contains in itself sufficient guaran-
tee of vitality. 1t Is his deliberate
opinion that Russia is more liable
than China to permanent disruption.
