“California Jon.”—The Shasta Courier,
under the caption, "Ibe beet soldier in the
Uuited States army/’ explains who “Cali
fornia Joe” is, of whom we have read so
much in the papers:
Shasta county, besides being the banner
county for loyalty in the State, as shown by
the efficient vole published elsewhere, has
had the honor of furnishing to the Grand
Army of the Republic one of its best, and
certaiuly the most effective private soldiers.
We allude to “California Joe,” of Berdan's
Sharpshooters, whose fame is now as fully
established as that of Daniel Boone or Davy
Crockett. The name of this rebel slayer is
Tinman Head. He lived until little more
than a year ago near the Tower House, uot
tar from this place, where he is remembered
for bis strict integrity, the simplicity of bis
manners, his iinperturable good humor and
equanimi ty of temper. Patriotism, which
with some men is only a feeling, with “Joe”
was a principle and a passion. A radiant
and unclouded love of bis country possessed
his genial heart all the time. 1 When he heard
of the organization of the corps of sharp
shooters, Joe saw that bis time had come.
He now bad an opportunity of proving
himself. He quietly made his arrangement,
went east with his trusty riffe, and after do
nating all his money to the Uuited States
Government, (of which he possessed quite
a large ninount,) he enlisted for the war
with Berdan's celebrated corps. Since then
his name is in charge of the nation. Across
the continent, and all its intervening plains
mountains and may these words
reach him and bo understood as coming
from his old friends and acquaintances of
Shasta.
The Tulare Election. —It seems that by
the secession bocus pocus of the-Board of
Supervisors of Tulare county, all of whom
are reported as Secessionists, the election
in that county is made to go against Baker
(Uuion), for the Assembly, by ten votes.
The way thoy do it is this: Oak precinct,
situate in Owens Vallley, in the northeast
ern part of the county, cast 95 votes, near
ly all for the Union party. This precinct
has always been considered in Tulare coun
ty. and from a gentleman well acquainted
with the country, we learn that it is so in
dubitably. The secession Supervisors, how
over, threw it out, alleging first that they
did not order an election there; and secondly
that it is uot in the county. Any prlciucl
having thirty voters may hold an election
whether the Supervisors order it or not,
and the only question to be determined is,
whether Oak precinct is iu Tulare or Fres
no.—[Stockton Independent.
California Tohacco.— Mr. Craig, of So
noma. who has this year rnised 20 acres of
choice tobacco, was in town last week with
samples of his crop, which promises to yield
a smull fortune. He planted a number of
varieties, but mainly the best Cuban which
offers to thrive the best and bring the larg
est prices. Before planting be calculated
that his crop would bring eight cents per
pound, a price which would remunerate him
for his labor and expense. He is now of
fered by a leading tobacconist of this city
eighty cents per pound for the entire crop
There are several other fields in the vicinity
and in the Sacramento Valley, all of which,
so far as we can learn, promise well; and
should the war continue, or the present tar
iff remain unchanged, we may expect that
much more will be planted the coming sea
son. and it is by no means impossible that
the plant may become at once one of nor
leading agricultural products.— [S. F. Gall.
Murder in Washoe.— The Silver'Age of
Sunday says:
A man by the name of James York mur
dered an old man by the name of John
Sharp at Wright’s Bridge, on the Esmeral
da road, last Sunday evening, in a most
cowardly and inhuman manner. They had
been drinking during the day. Late iu the
evening York said he must kill some one
before he went home, whereupon he turned
to Sharp with the remark, “I will shoot you
anyhow.” and fired. The ball passed di
rectiy through his breast. He lingered un
til 11 o’clock and died. * Sharp *an well
known there as a very hard working, inof
fensive man, while York is one of those
would-be desperadoes, and is well known in
that part of the country.
Croakers and Railroads.— Those croak
ers. says the Folsom Telegraph, who say
railroads won’t pay in this State, ought to
visit the Sacramento Valley, the California
i Central and the Sacramento. Placer , and
I Nevada railroads. They would even be con-
I vinced of their error if they only saw the
! business which is done on the Central road.
The freighting at Lincoln, the upper termi
hub of this road, is alone proof enough of
the incalculable advantage! of railroads in
i California.
llrlx'l Iron-Clad Steamer*
According to the following statement,
furnished by the London correspondent of
the Dublin Evening Mail, the new steamer
No. 290, which has just given the Tu curorn
the slip, is an Irou-clad and a very formid
able vessel:
She can steam from sixteen to eighteen
knots an hour; is perfectly seaworthy, for
all practical purposes iuvulnerable, and
will prove to any vessel the may encoun
ter ns formidable an antagonist as our own
Warrior, the boast or the British Navy.
This is the “No. 290” as to whose wherea
bouts Federal cruisers have with reason
betrayed such anxiety. It has been known
for tome time that a largo and powerful
iron vessel was constructing at the dock
yard of Messrs. Laifd, Birkenhead; but
monsters of the deep are so much the order
of the day at that establishment that no
ono troubled his head much about this new
production, or cared to remark the great
thickness of the plates which were being
used. At the very last moment the Feder
al authorities seem lo have bud their suspi
cion aroused, for the Tuscarora was dis
patched to keep watch iu the neighborhood
ot the dock where - she lay, and the south
ern cost of Ireland was also strictly watch
ed. “No. 290,” meanwhile, apprized of ail
that was going on dropped down the river
quietly one day, and stemmed out into tho
bay, nominally for her trial trip—with a
party of ladies and musicians on board.
Instead, however,of returning to her moor
ing at Birkenhead, where she would have
been k<*pt io durance;vile by the Tuscarora
she quietly lauded her passengers, avoiding
Cork, Waterford, etc., in neighborhood of
which she might have heard of something
not at all to her advantage, “No 290”
steamed round by Londonderry and Done
gal, and was joined off the west coast of
Ireland by the steamer which had previ
ously sailed, having on board the arma
ment intended for the Ironsides. Hud she
even met the Tuscarora while still unarm
ed, it was the intention #f her Captain to
try the fortune ef war by running steam on
at full speed into her antagonist. It needs
no exlraoi dinary discejument (o discover
what excitement must becausedttl the oth
er side of the Atluutic by the arrival ot'
“No 290.”
Tiik Membbku Clasmivud.— Of the forty
members who will compose the next Senate
thirty are Union men, six Union Demo
cratic, (the hold-overs ouly,) and four Se
cession. Of the eighty Assemblymen, we
estimate from the best information at baud
that sixty-three were chosen on the Union
party ticket: live on Independent Union
tickets; eight on “Reconstructive” semi-
Union tickets, and four Secession tickets.
Of the sixty three chosen on the Union
party ticket, thirty one were Republicans
and thirty-two Douglas Democrats, and five
Independent Unionists were all Douglasites
—so that the new members of the Assembly
may be classified as originally standing:
thirty-one Re ublicans, thirty-seven Doug
las Democrats, eight Reconstructive semi-
Unionists, and four Secessionists. The Sen
ators classified asjer their original policy,
stand: RepublicoM, twenty; Douglas Dem
ocrats, sixteen; Session, four. On joint
ballot the Legislature will stand: one hun
dred and four Unconditional Union, eight
Conditional Union, and eight Secession. Of
the Unconditional Unionists fifty-one were
Republicans and fifty-three Douglas Demo
crats.—[lice.
The Cask of Gem. Stone.— The mysterious
release of Brig. Gen. Stone from Fort Lafay
ette causes as much surprise here as did his ar
rest. This city being his residence, there is
naturally a little added to the general interest
felt in his case. There is a desire that Gen.
Stone ahould have a trial and it prevails among
friends and strangers alike. There can now be
no use in withholding the fact, quite patent in
some circles last winter, that the evidence be
fore the Committee on the conduct of the war
against Gen. Stone was very strong, though
circumstantial; but it is equally true that the
rebutting or negative proof was just as strong.
As there is a doubt, Gen. Stone should have
the benefit and a trial is due to him, us
well as to oplc and the Government, for
all have an abiding interest in the result—bis
prompt and honorable acquittal or his convic
tion.—[Washington Cor.
A CoHKKHpon dwt in the Portland Times
writing from I’JeaHunt City, Sept, loth, says
of the John Day niver mines:
At present, miners aro not very busy
digging, for the want of water. Granite
Creek still continues to pay well, though
there are so many working on the bead of
the creek that the miners below find it ve
ry difficult to save their gold, on account
of muddy water and tailing* from above.
From what information I can now gather.
I think the John Day country will afford
ample room for from 10,000 to 15,000 min
ers, who are williog to work for from $5 to
$20 per day, and some much more.
