COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
SATURDAY MORXIXG, FEB. 3,
Not Very De.if.-XoI a lamped miles
away lives a fair widow who is the fortunate
owner of many productive acres, well fenced,
and provided with suitable buildups. It is
not reasonable to suppose that a charming
woman, with such comfortable surroundings,
should bo left unwooed or unsought. Nor is
she. One of the most persistent in his atten
tions is a worths, gentleman somewhat on the
shady side of forty, and considerably deaf,
whomjwc will call A. Another,and morenged,
called one day recently, for the first time,
sort o’ prospecting. We will call him 11.—
15 was somewhat acquainted with the fair
widow, haying known her in her husband’s
lifetime, but was a stranger to A. who was
sitting, quite at home, in the reception room.
The lady introduced them, when 15 opened
conversation with his rival in an ordinary
tone of voice, and so continued for some time,
when tips lady, observing the blank expres
sion of A’s countenance, remarked to 15 :
“You must speak louder; Mr. A is quite
deaf.” B responded, and bawled away to
the full power of his lungs, doing the agree
able while the lady was engaged superintend
ing the arrangements for dinner. The meal
over, B, feeling somewhat exhausted, took
early leave, and on doing so, took the fair
widow's hand in his right, and gracefully
placing the left on his heart, said, in a low
voice: “ Madam, in my native South I knew
a most beautiful and accomplished lady,
whom you much resemble.”
“So did I ! So did I 1” exclaimed A, in
the high key usual to deaf persons.
B left, a wiser man, nor believes there are
any so deaf that they cannot hear the lowest
tones of compliment to a fair widow.
Another New Discovery. — A few days ago
Mr. Root was prospecting in the edge of
town, and while engaged in clearing away a
patch of brush and loose dirt, discovered a
lode ns novel in its developments as it was
unexpected. He was hunting gold, but found
a Yankee clock of the spring kind, and of
the pattern sold here at eight and ten dollars.
He picked it up, shook the sand out of the
case, wound it, and away she went as if
nothing had happened, and has been keeping
good time ever since. Mr. Boot thinks that
with such croppings he is justified in going
down, with a show to find a permanent lode
of Yankee clocks, and may strike chronome
ter watches with gold bunting cases. Verily,
the mines are improving.
Sick. —Frank Millville, formerly a resi
dent of Shasta, but for the past five years
engaged in mining operations at Humboldt,
Nevada, left on the steamer Constitution,
November 20th, to visit his home in Europe.
He arrived at New York December 14th,
very sick with the Panama fever. Mr, Win.
Ludwig, of Cottonwood, is just in receipt of
a letter from one of his attendants, who says
there is barely a hope of his recovery. The
father has been written to, and is daily ex
pccted at New York to care for bis only re
maining son, two having been killed in light
ing the battles of their adopted country under
General Grant. The father has the warm
sympathy of the many friends of his son here
and in Ilumdoldt.
Picks. —Our quartz miners are interested
in being able to get good tools for their work,
and Charley Overmyer, having had consid
erable experience at French Gulch in the
manufacture of pole picks, concluded last
week to bring in a specimen of his handi
work, which he did, and left it at Coleman's
hardware store, where such things are kept
for sale. This fact coming to the knowledge
of Sam. Isaacks. one of our own blacksmiths,
lie soon placed alongside of Charley's a spec
imen of his own skill. Which is best?
is now the question. We have only to say
that both are a credit to their makers. Com
petition is now excited, and Charley is going
to send in another. Look out, Sam.
M ci-etowx. —The ladies of this place pro
pose to have the name of the town changed to
Potosi. The name is pretty enough, and
while wo admire the good taste of the ladies
in seeking a change, wo suggest that perhaps
thev would have too much Potosi by so nam
ing it. We favor original names for all
places and things, and would like to have one
in place of the old. Muletown is not eupho
nious, nor has it any very pleasing associa
tions. We suggest that hereafter the place
be called Sheridan.
Williams A Kellixoer. — This company,
only one now working at Copper City,
have been at work constantly driving tunnels.
Their main one is now in to where they have
struck mineral bearing quartz. The strike
in the fore part of this week, and
created quite an excitement. By next week
we hope to be able to chronicle that this com
pany have met with assured success. Their
persistent energy and industry deserve a rich
reward.
Baptized. —The Bed Bluff Observer says
Bishop, S. M., lias been dipping somebody
in a barrel in that town. We’ll bet two and
a half there was no whisky wasted in that
process, ’lliat barrel must have been pros
tituted from tbe noble purpose for which it
was constructed to the base use of bolding
water, and !Sam knew of no better use for
that element than to wash somebody ; hence
the immersion.
Struck It.—Messrs. Jones, Kennedy and
others have a claim on what is believed*to be
an extension of the Bunker Hill lead. This
week they got in and found the formation
very similar to the Bunker Hill pay ground,
—and the pay, too, for that matter—for they
took out several pans that yielded from five
to ten dollars each. So much for persevering
labor. The claim is worth thousands to dsv
Our Town and County’s Prosperity.
Nothing is more natural to a people “ set
tled down” tlian to inquire into the resources
of their locality from which a living may he
obtained, as well as a small margin thereon
to be laid by for a wet day. Evidently those
settling in this town and county made some
such caculation. It is further evident that
they calculated on the placer diggings, then
rich, to last eternally. It is further evident
that in making such calculations they placed
themselves in precisely the same fix as did
the man who reckoned without his host.—
There is proof enough on that point. It
presents itself in, the shape of unoccupied
brick buildings, and dilapidated awnings, in
town ; and in the country, in fallen fences,
abandoned ranches, and in buildings going
or gone to ruin. These are all before u«, and
if more is needed, we have hut to look along
our roadsides, and view the closed and falling,
buildings that were once occupied as hotels
and doing a flourishing business. All this
exists right under our noses, and none seem
to think it strange, or care to try tv find the
cause thereof or a remedy.
This sorted abandonment and destruction
has been slowly going on until there are none
left hut those who cannot go, who have in
vested so much here that to leave it appalls
them, ami hence they remain, gaping into
infinite space, ami wondering why it is so
dull, or if something won’t turn up. Once
in a while some scheme is introduced by an
outsider, by which we are all to be enriched,
ami then a little commotion is visible for a
brief moment, to be quieted by their arriving
at the knowledge that this grand scheme is
not going to be carried out entirely by Prov
idence.
The scheme for surveying and locating the
route for a railroad from Marysville to Port
land woke us up some, and many of our
citizens donated enough to secure a survey
through our town. We did not have to do
the work, and could afford to look on and see
the busy engineers and their employees lay
ing the route by whi«h our lost prosperity
was to return. Quit s a good time was had
over that; it must have lasted,'off md on,
j for about three months ; and during that
time we all dreamed of tenants for our
houses, farms, Ac., and twenties flying about
as thick as blackberries in their season.—
That was one oasis in the dreary desert of
monotonous dullness and decay.
We had another one, ton, quite a stunner;
but it was long years ago ; still it is worth
remembering, that history may not lose it.—
There came among us a man who believed
that the Sacr.imepto river was as easy of
navigation between Shasta and Red Bluff as
between the hitler place and Colusa. He had
articles written about it and had them pub
lishod in the Coirif.r, and actually excited
our community to such an extent that a com
pany of competent men were organized to
make an exploration of the stream. Strange
to say they actually done so, and reported
that the navigation to Middle Creek, two
miles from Shasta, was practicable, and that
a very little outlay would secure a channel
for boats better than that between Marysville
and Red Bluff. Now all was joy. Glory
enough ; Shasta will soon be the head of
navigation; but alas ! a man among us,
more shrewd than his fellows, bethought him
that if the boats landed two and a half miles
from town, Shasta would ho ruined, and a
flourishing town would be buiit at the land
ing ; hence the scheme died.
The next God-send to our torpid communi
ty was in the discovery of rich mines on the
Humboldt. There was a few left among us
who could move, and they went to the now
El Dorado. They struck it, reduced it to
feet, and let the stay-at-homes in, to the bot
toms of their pockets. They are in yet; hut
no longer do the sweet dreams of dividends,
equal to the Gould A Curry, visit them as
they quietly snore upon their couches. Not
a die.
And yet another sensation came among ns,
Copper had been struck at Pittsburg ! Hur
rah ! hooray ! A good thing right at our
doors; only twenty-five miles away; and
copper, too! None of your trashy gold dig
gings, that ate ever so spotted ; nobody wants
them. And they went it, and wo went it,
and have got some of them feet yet. Every
body’s last dollar found a resting place there,
and wo all fell back on the old system of
waiting, and since have held our own. Noth
ing disturbs us now. Talk quartz ledges
ever so much ; talk of anything you please,
the even heat of our pul.-e is not disturbed.
We arc all just going to wait till somebody
brings us a nice thing, tied up with silk cords,
and fastened with how knots, so that the
effort to untie may not weary us.
The people of Shasta are a happy people.
Thev toil not, neither do they worry much,
satisfied that it is all right, and if it is not,
why it is too much work to fix it; so I t her

Bunker Hill. — This claim is giving out.
we guess. From Monday morning until
Wednesday evening the company only took
out SCBC 70, though they try to keep up the
credit of tltf claim by saying they didn’t
clean the boxes very close. There arc four
men working in tho claim.
PoT'isi Co.—This company are progressing
rapidly in tho erection of their new mill, and
in another week they will probably be at
work. Their mine is opened sufficiently to
guarantee a three months’ run on rook that
heretofore has paid S6o per tun with very
imperfect machinery.

his health. Jenks didn't look well when he

Married. —The widow of the lamented
Stephen A. Douglas was recently married, at
her residence in Washington City, to Brevet
Brigadier General Williams.
Horrible Tragedy.
On Thursday morning last, between two
and three o’clock, the classic precincts of
Chi: atown were disturbed by brawling, tur
moil and the report of a gun in one of the
many little cabins at the upper end of the
district which they inhabit. The watchman
arrived on the ground a few minutes after
the noise had ceased, and found the body of
a man lying in the road near one of these
dens of iniquity, lifeless, covered with blood
and wounds, and his face blackened.
A Chinaman explained that the deceased,
all blackened, had gone into his house with
a double barreled shot gun, and stood in the
door of his bed room, with the gun in both
hands, partially presented at him as he lay;
that on seeing him he jumped from the bed,
seized the gun and wrenched it from him.—
The explanation then ceased. The Sheriff
was sent fir, and five of the Celestial reptiles
arrested and put in jail. The Coroner ap
peared, summoned a jury, and proceeded to
hold an inquest upon the dead body. The
following facts were elicited:
Deceased, a miner by the name of Freder
ick W. Caldwell, for some time past a resi
dent of Middletown, started, in company
with his mining partner, at a late hour of
the night, for their home. They had taken
a lunch at Green’s hotel, and the watchman
had lunched with them. It was about two
o’clock in the morning when they started. —
The watchman accompanied them as far as
the lower end of town, and stood conversing
with the partner of deceased, when deceased
loft them and went into a little China house
across the street. After the watchman left,
the partner rapped for deceased and called
him to go home, and then walked on. When
he had got a short distance on his way he
heard a noise like scuffling and returned to
the place where ho had left Caldwell, lie
again called him without getting an answer,
though there were many loud China voices
within. Opening the door, which was ajar,
he could see iu. lie called again, when
some Chinamen advanced towards him with
sticks and clubs and hit him over the head a
few times, cutting his scalp and knocking
him down. On getting up he left for home,
thinking his partner had got out and left.
An examination of the body showed a deep
cut on the back of the head, one on each side
of the forehead, as if made with a blunt in-'
strumenf. one deep cut with a knife on the
loft cheek, a deep cut under the left arm
pit, which had evidently reached the aorta,
and two others in the back and side, bulb
penetrating to the cavity of the body.
The face of deceased was blackened from
the top down Jo the neck, but a minute ex
amination coWinced all, we believe, that it i
had been put on after death with a brush or
feather, for the teeth were blackened with
the paint, the wounds on the face glazed
over with it, the hair was matted with it by
an upward stroke with the brush, making it
stand erect back from the forehead. There
was also paint plainly visible upon the oth
erwise naked eyeballs, even the tongue show
ed marks of the paint. A piece (if bar snap
that had seen some service was found in the
pocket of the dead man.
There is no doubt, in our opinion, but the
man was brutally murdered by these rascals.
That there was some provocation on the part
of deceased is most likely true, but probably
nothing to justify the result. They took the
method of blackening his face and putting
the soap in his pocket to carry the impression
that the man was there to rob them in dis
guise, and had the soap ready to cleanse
away the stain when ho should have got
away.
The Coroner’s jury, composed of some of
our best citizens, could give no other verdict
than they did, viz : that deceased came to
his death because of wounds inflicted with a
knife by some person to them unknown.
All parties under arrest have been dis
charged, and we suppose this will bo the last
of it, for there is little chance of the truth
ever coining out of such a hell. The body of
deceased was buried respectably on Thursday
evening.
From the best information we can obtain,
deceased livod in early life near Buffalo and
in the city of New York. AVc cannot learn
that he has ever corresponded with friends or
relatives. lie was about 5 feet 8 inches in
height, light complexion, blue eyes, light
hair and beard, and was 35 to 38 years of
nge-
New Discovery.— Mr. McCall, an enter
prising quartz miner at Lower Springs,
availing himself of a short break in the late
storm, walked out for exercise, taking with
him the inevitable pick, and coming upon
indications of a lode, immediately “went
down” for a prospect. After sinking a cou
pic of feet ho gathered his pockets full and
returned to camp. The hand mortar and
pan process, without quicksilver, showed
from SSOO to S7OO to the tun, by accurate
weights. That’s all, now. A simple fact,
recorded in a few simple words. But is there
not enough in this statement to stim
ulate our people to action—to the exhibition
of a little more energy in bringing this stuff
to the surface ? When we gathered the above
fa-ts, there were standing present many of
nur citizens who listened to the detail with
less interest than the history of a dog fight
would have created; and when the narrator
had ceased, a quiet, dry remark of “that’s
prettv good,” or “that will do,” was the
sum of feeling manifested. Well, maybe the
ravens will,fced us. They’ll have to if the
torpor under which we are laboring continues
much longer.
Hon. John Bipwell.— The thoughtful
kindness of this gentleman, in sending us
and many others of our citizens valuable
public documents, is appreciated. Our Rep
resentatives heretofore have not had Shasta
on their lists, except a« a place where a round
majority could be safely calculated upon. —
The change is ploatant.
Gen. Cutler— A Scrap from History.
There seems to be a disposition among
manv Union men to do injustice to General
Butler, says the Appeal, on account of bis
military failures. We regret to see it. It is
ungenerous and unjust. B.' F. Butler as a
General has done quite ns well as many oth
ers without military education and experi
ence, and better than some educated at West
Point, lie was among the first to rouse the
North to the herculean work it had to do.—
His talents, heart and hand were early en
listed on behalf of the Government, To him
wc are exclusively indebted for all the aid we
received in the South from slave spies, the
services of slaves on fortifications, and 200,-
000 negro troops. When our armies advanc
ed into Virginia, all our Generals were more
alert at catching and returning runaway
slaves than capturing rebels. To the sagacity
and independence of Gen. Butler we owe all
the benefits from a change of policy in this
respect. It was inaugurated in May, 1801,
when Gen. Butler was in command at For
tress Monroe. One morning our pickets
brought in three slaves belonging to Colonel
Mallory, who had escaped and sought pro
tection of our army. Col. Mallory, under a
flag of truce, went to the Fort to demand his
slaves, when the following terse colloquy is
reported to have passed between them ;
“You hold, Col. Mallory, do you not.”
said Gen. Butler, “ that the negro slaves are
property, and that Virginia is no longer a
part of the United States?” “I do, sir,”
was the reply. “ You arc a lawyer, sir,”
Gon. Butler added, “ and I ask you if you
claim that the Fugitive Slave Act of the
United States is binding in a foreign nation?”
And if a foreign nation uses this kind of pro
perty to destroy the lives and property of
citizens of the United States, if that species
of property ought not to he regarded as
contraband ,
The rebel Colonel withdrew speechless and
without his slaves. This decided and prompt
action of Gen. Butler was heralded through
the country by the press, and the lesson was
then inculcated which led first to the employ
ment on fortifications of all slaves captured,
and finally to the enlistment of 200,000 negro
troops, which force contributed so greatly to
a speedy termination of the war, and the tri
umph of the old flag.
There is a deep debt of gratitude duo Gen.
Butler from the American people. There is
a prejudice which withholds it, hot so sure
as time marks its cycle so sure tins or the
next generation will render justice to the
name of Benjamin F. Butler.
Horrible Tragedy is Mississippi.— One
of the most horrible tragedies that have oc
curred for many years was enacted lately in
M ississippi, near Brooksville. A man nam
ed James Thompson left his home about
eight or ten years ago. About a year since
he returned to the house of his father, since
which time some idea of becoming possessed
of the father’s property seems to have seized
possession of his mind. One morning, re
cently, he apj reached the house, and inquir
ed of the negroes if all were well. He then
entered the house, and, it appears, shot his
sister Margaret with a shotgun as she was in
the act of dressing.
A second report followed, and the mother
was found dead, shot iu the right shoulder
and side. The mother and this daughter
must have died instantly. The murderer
then entered the room of his brother. Clay,
whom he shot in the forehead, killing him
instantly. The two girls upstairs closed and
bolted their door; but the terrible man
ascended the stairs and forced it open. Jo
miina slipped by him, rushed down, and was
on the threshold of the door, when she was
seized by the shoulder and flung hack into
the room, and shot in the hack of the head
with a pistol. She must die.
The murderer then went upstairs and shot
the last and youngest sister, named Emma.
This young girl may recover. James now
left the house and proceeded towards the
river. He met his father and the Sheriff of
the county. Ho aimed deliberately at his
father, hut the cap snapped. He tired the
second barrel, but it was knocked up by a
bystander, and it passed harmlessly over his
father's head. He then drew his pistol and
fired twice, one shot taking effect in the body
of'the father, who now clenched the despeia
do, and after a tierce struggle he was hound.
The murderer is now in Macon jail.— X. O.
Picayune.
Who's hit ?—The Columbus (Ga.) Sun
says ;
All of our citizens who take the oath of
allegiance arc required to state their politi
cal opinions in 1860. On the books in the
commandant’s office the Union signers large
ly predominate. Oajit. Goble, so the story
runs, was looking over the list, when he
would see for a whole page the name of
secessionists as scarce almost as hen’s teeth.
“My God 1” exclaimed he. after reading
awhile, “if these few ‘secesh’ caused us all
this trouble for the past four years, what
couldn’t they have done if all these Union
men had joined them !’ ’ AA’e give the story
as we heard it.
