and will notice their dates, subject matter,
meaning and purpose, bearing in mind that
the defendants are not on trial for those publi-
cations, and that they can only be used to
show the dnimus with which the defendant
published the article in suit Ii the plaintiff
has been aggrieved by those articles, he must
try that question in another suit; he cannot
do il in this.


The opportunity the defendants had and
employed to damage the plaintiff by the OBJ
noXious publication-such as the extent of
the circulation of the "Daily Times" the To-
calities in which it was read, and the standing
OF the paper-are proper for you to consider
in estimating the damages plaintiff sustained !;
so also are the plaintiffs standing in the COM
munity-his official position, if he has one, his
probable future damages, and especially the
injury 10 his feelings, and the peace aud har-
mony of his family. IL you find that the de-
PENDANTS manifested a wanton and malicious
spirit, you are authorized to give the plaintiff
exemplary or punitory damages.


The case is now with you, and doubt not
you will render such a verdict as the law and
evidence require.

We have been requested to give notice that
there will be meeting of the loyal and pat
riotic citizens held in Shasta, on the evening
Of Tuesday, May 5th, at u o'clock, for
the purpose of forming Union League. The
utility of this movement must be apparent to
every lover of his country. The important
results which have attended the formation of
similar Leagues in the Eastern States, turn
ing the footsteps of thousands of deluded par
tizans of former political organizations, to
renew their devotion to the cause of their
bleeding country, and by keeping step to
the music Of the Union" have come boldly
forward and solemnly pledged themselves to
stand by the Government in its troubles, and
lend / their moral and physical force, if
necessary, to crush and subdue class Of
traitors who, by their wanton assaults upon
the flag of our country, have shown that they
have forgotten the patriotism bequeathed to
them by their fathers. Let every one who
is willing to stand by his country until this
rebellion is crushed out, no matter what may
have been his former political opinions, join
ia this movement, and let it be said of Shasta
that if there be those among us who only
await an opportunity to rise and endeavor to
subvert the laws of the State, that we are
prepared for them, and that we will deal
with them as only traitors should be dealt
with.


1t is expected that eminent speakers from
abroad will be in attendance, who will ad-
dress the meeting on the important questions
of the day. The patriotic leven is already
dif'using itself throughout all classes in the
principal cities below, and Leagus have
been formed in Sacramento, San Francisco,
and Marysville, where thousands are coming
forward and taking the pledge of fidelity to
the Constitution and the cause for which so
many thousands of our soldiers are battling
and sacrificing their lives.

PITTsBURG MINEs.-Owing to the severe
storms for the past two weeks, but little work
has been done in these mines bat we con-
tinue to hear of some fattering tests, made by
the best assayers in ths State. An assay of
rock taken from one of the Bully Hill claims
was recently made, which induced the parties
to offer S25 per foot for all that could be pur
chased, but the owners were unwilling to sell
at any price. Another assay has been made
sfmineral taken from the Original Twenty six
claim, which gave the owners entire salts

way, and if the weather continues good dur
ing the coming week, we shall undoubtedly
be able to give some good news in our next
issue.


Since the explosionof the Cottonwood Well
humbug, scores of the Red Bluff people are
rushing to these mines, to try and get even
by securing claims where they are sure of
getting their moneys worth.

A letter from General Fremont has
been published, giving some of his opin-
ions concerning the Pacific Railroad. He
says there are no insuperable difficulties
to any route which commercial consider
tions might indicate as the best. No
such difficulties as were overcome by the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad would be
encountered by a well located line on any
part of the route. As general fact the
mountains are well adapted to stock rails
ing and dairy farms. Water and grasse
are good and abundant, and the noun
tain winters are short and mild. Salt
iron and the precious metals are found
in great abundance, so that great induce
ments for settling along the line. The
way travel already secured to the road
by the growing States of New Mexico,
Colorado, Utah and Washoe would be
rapidly increased by busy population
stretched over its entire length. The i'm
portance of the following suggestion
should secure for it the careful consider
alton of the government and the people.
Gen Fremont says:


sit would be a measure fruitful in good
results to occupy Immediately upon the
work of the road large bodies of the men
who are freed by the Presidents Procla-
nation. The fact that so large a num-
Der of our able bodied citizens are under
arms, and the consequent economy, and
the great rapidity with which the road
could be driven forward by the employ
ment of these people, make this subject
worthy of the most liberal discussion
The road is national, and it is sufficiently
obvious that considerations of great pub
lie utility are involved in this suggestion.


Many of these people will soon require
some provision to be made for them
Stretching Indefinitely south of this pro-
jected road are great regions of available
country, partly unoccupied, and partly
inhabited sparsely by whites, or mixed
races, or Indians more or less civilized
Already as far north as the Gila river the
Indians regularly cultivate cotton the
country is generally well adapted
to stock, and fabulously rich in silver
and other metals. In this region there
is abundant room. The character of the
populations, the extent of the country,
and its undeyeloped resources seem to
me very suggestive in the connection with
the employment of freed men on the Pa
ciic Railroad"

The importance of physical training to
him who goes into battle, whether officer
or soldier, can have no better illustration


than the achievements during the late
battle of Charlottesville of the captain
of the color company of the lO2d Regi-
ment, n. Wv, a man thoroughly trained
in the use of his muscles and his sword.
After desperate hand-to-hand conflict
with captain and color sergeant of the
18th Georgia, he finally wrenched away
the sword of the captain, a stalwart six
footer, and disarmed the color sergeant,
tearing his colors from the flag staff, when
he found two butternuts upon him.
Seizing his musket from one by sheer
strength, he sent him spinning on his back,
and then seized the other, an ambulance
sergeant-in three minutes having taken,
without assistance, one captain, two SER
geants and one private. The name of
this hero is WILLIAM NELSON GREEN. He
retains the sword by leave of his Brig
adler General, and the flag was sent to
General HooKRR by his order.

The letter from which the following extracts
are copied by permission, was not intended
for publication; it was addressed to his friends
in this city by a Portland boy, writing from
Baton Rouge last month:
Here we are, part OF the Maine 18th, en-
camped on a beautiful spot near the city, while
the rest are at Plaquimine below, on the other
side OF the river, where we shall probably soon
be, as our forces are fast concentrating at DIFF
ferent points for work somewhere. Our boys
will not be sorry to leave the company of Will
sons brigade, an unprincipled, cowardly set,
appropriatlng TO themselves, or destroying,
whatever they can find belonging to others.
On the whole we have passed a pleasant win
ter, with plenty to make us comfortable, TAX
ing all things INTO consideration. When we
first arrived in New Orleans, we thought 1t a
hardship to use the muddy waters of the Mis-
sissippi, but now should consider it a luxury,
compared with what We have to use here.


notice by the papers, that the discussion of
slavery is waxing warm at the North. When
the liberation Of the poor, crushed slave, is
made the issue of this war, then can fight
with will, and die with pleasure, If need be;
for no sacrifice can be too great to bring about
such a result,-yea, had l a thousand lives and
a thousand fortunes, would not count them
too dear to give, could we see that abomina-
bly, wicked and corrupt system of oppression
and wrong obliterated from this fair land. You
may think me wild, but come here and remain
one year, beholding, and hearing what have,
and you will wonder no longer. When my
mind dwells upon the subject, comfort, ease,
and all pleasing fancies of home and dear
friends vanish; feel like spending my whole
life for suffering humanity.


Our officers have altogether too much re-
gard for the feelings OF the rebels here, and
believe too readily their stories of loyalty TO
the government. The consequence is that
spies and nformers easily obtain passes to go
in and out Of our lines, whenever they choose.
