Cmri'iT Coum. There has been con
siderable business before the Circuit Court
this week. It will probably adjourn to
day. David Winfield, who was injured o cou
pic of weeks since by being thrown from
liis horse nnd run over by his wagon, is
recovering, under the careful treatment of
Dr. Thompson.
Smokers nnd tobaccc-chcwcrs will do
well to remember that the most choice, va

R,t.N The heavy rains nnd lowering
clouds of this week nro calculated to make
our dry-gulch miner look hopeful. Not so,
however, with us poor denizens of town,
wIki are so unfortunate as to be without
lire wood.
Wiscly'a War Diorama and Dissolving
Views will be exhibited nt the- U. S. Ho
tel, on Monday and Tuesday evenings next.
If we may believe tho highly flattering
encomiums of the Press, it is nn opportun
ity for witnessing a splendid and rare ex
hibition. i ..
IIuor Si'i'iH. Messrs. Ray & Billipps,
who combiiiQ agricultural pursuits with
mining, on Jackass Creek, sent in a couple
of the largest pntntoes thut were ever
r.i'scd outside of Old Ireland, just by way
of letting us know that " honest miners "
cun thrive on that creek, even In the dry
est season.
(joi.d Fish. Tho first and only living
pold-Ji-.il ever Fecn in this country were
lirousht up lutcly from San Francisco by
Mr. K. 0. Sessions, and can bo seen, swim
ming in gla8 globes, filled with water, nt
the store of Uradbury & Wade. They at
tract considerable attention, especially
from the Indies.
i ii .ii
RliMOVlto AND CONSOMDATKI). Mr.
Henry Jtidgo nnd Mr. Zimmerman, har
ness makers nnd saddlers, have formed a
copartnership, Consolidated their business,
nnd moved their stocks into tho new store
in Ryan's new brick building, recently fit
ted up expressly for them. They havo a
largo lot of new saddlery nnd harness from
S.ui Francisco, to which, by their own
work, they are making additions. Ex
pressing their obligations for former pat
innage, they extend an invitation to the
public generally to call on them for any
thing that may be wanted in their line of
business. Give them a call.
A Man Stamikd. On Saturday lost nn
nlTrny occurred on Jackson creek, in which
Charles Rand was severely stabbed with a
knife, by Capt. Thomas Hallard. Captain
Hallard, immediately after tho occurrence,
came to town and delivered himself up to
the authorities. Ho was this week exam
ined before tho Grnnd Jury and discharged,
it being clear that the act was done in self
defonso nnd entirely justifiable. The
wounded man is in a very critical condi
tion. Dr. Thompson who is a-wnUiog up.
on him says tho wound, which is in tho
left side, immediately below tho ribs, may
prove futu'. $
Mr. Jacob Ish has rushed into print, in
T'Vault Confederate organ, to deny a
statement Incidentally published by us sev
eral weeks since, that Mnj. Glenn had held
a mortgage on the Ish farm. This state
ment was made in nn nrticle in which we
charged that the Ish Uro's, notorious se
cessionists, were favored by tho contractor
with the exclusive privilege of furnishing
hiy and oats for Co. C." 0. V. Abe
Lincoln's minions ; and that that privi
lege wus costing the Government nboul
one-third more than it would if tho usual
competition was ollowed. Wo hnd no in
tention of injuring tho credit of Ish Bro's
by saying that Mnj. Glenn held a mortgage
on their farm. It would have answered ns
well our purpose, as stntcd above, to have
said that Mr. Glenn had nn order (ns wo
have been informed ho had) on Ish DroV.
It is mere quibble ; the charge we have
mode still stands, undeniable.
Wo rc-nsscrt, what Mr. Jacob Ish has
not denied, that Horace Ish, understood to
have been interested in producing liny and
oats for Co., " 0," is generally believed by
the loyal peoplo in this community who best
know him, to hnvc gono to assist his friends
In " fighting for their rights." And there
is reasonable grounds for tho belief. He
is known as n generous, open-hearted man
of high-strung temper. His early associa
tions in the South, and his life-long preju
dices against the North, lends him to deep
ly sympathize with the South, in their
grievous snfTerings, and to desire to assist
them In their mnd designs. From our own
knowledge of Horace Ish, wo believe lie
would rather die in the front ranks of tho
Confederate army than livo in opnlcncc In
the Northern States. In that ho is to be
admired over the sneuking Copperheads
who, while fattening tfon tho bounty of our
Government, are covertly doing all they
can to embarrass it in its struggle fur na
tional unity, and pusillanlmonsly whining
of Abolition tyranny.
Mr. Ish, in his communication, uses the
language nnd style peculiar to the " chiv
alry." Denunciation and invective com
prises thrcc-fouths of it. While we nro
perfectly careless of hid personal opinion
of us, we always hope to deserve nnd re
ceive the fiercest anathemas from him and
his Confederate kind.
Corrun is Joskpiiink County. For n
number of years it has been known thai
there were good indications of rich copper
lends in certain portions of our neighbor
ing county of Josephine, but owing to the
foreseen difficulty and cost of transporting
the ore to Crescent City, very little atten
tion was given to searching for and devel
oping lead. A correspondent informs us
that tho peoplo of Josephine nto sanguine
that copper mining is destined to become
a lending interest with them. About three
mouths ago, Dr. F. d' Henry and Mr,
John Simms, oi San Francisco, well ac
quainted with the copper business, and
having full knowledge of the almost incred
ible wealth contained in a well defined
copper lead, went to Josephine to prospect.
Alter examination, they purchased a large
claim of this ininerul, near Waldo. They
went systematically to work to devclope
their claim, and havo been rewarded by
tho discovery of threo exceedingly rich
veins, bearing from 20 to 90 per cent, of
copper. The main vein is four ftct under
ground ; fourteen feet wide, of solid, com
pact nnd fine sulphurets of copper, well
walled. In tho opinion of competent men,
this mine will be tho rival, if not tho su
perior, of the famous Union mine, of Gal
verns county, Cal. Dr. d' Henry, the Su
perintendent, intends, next Spring, to erect
works to concentrate tho ore. Tho mine
will bo known under the title of the
" Queen of Uronze."
In consequence of this dicovery, there is
quite a copper mania, and a number have
expressed a desire to invest in the feet of
the Queen of Bronze, but tho proprietor
will not sell uny shares ; but it is confident
ly expected tho continuation of that nud
other leads will be found, offering induce
ments for tho investments of capital.
Undoubtedly the development of the
copper interest will greatly increase and
improve general business in Josephine, and
enhance the value of property.
Wo have fine specimens from tho Queen
of Bronze mint, which cun be seen at this
office.

The Jacksonville Turn Yerlen have
ichanged their regular night of meeting
in Monday and Thursday of each week.
Kxerciseo commenc? nt eight y, m.
ScHoof, Exhibition. -The Court Room
as crowded to overflowing on Saturday
right lust, to witness the exercises of the
fermile school exhibition. An exceedingly
pretty picture and pleasing to look upon
were the scho lars, ns they took their po
sition upon ihc stngc. Ages from tho
bright, mischievious little Miss of five sum
mers op to tho fnir, blushing mnid of
" sweet sixteen " were represented, and all
were bewitchingly pretty. Tho exercises
commenced after n prnyer by Rev. P. M.
Starr, by the scholars, with the appro
priate song of We're a Happy Band of
Children." Then followed addresses, com
positions, declamations, etc. Tito escrciscs
elicited n great deal of admiration nnd up-
plause. The young Indies exhibited marked
improvement In that elegant nnd most use
ful accomplishment, correct, fluent rending,
though nt times their voices were drowned
by the mmit of" crowing babies" in the
audience. The patriotic song of the ' Bat.
tic cry of Freedom," was well sung by the
school, nnd rnpturou9ly applauded by the
audience.
To add to the interest of tho exhibition
the parlor charade, "StngcStuck," "Bride
groom," nnil " Mad-Cap," had been stud
ied by tho Misses, assisted by young gen
tlemen of our town. These were introduc
ed, but with the exception of Mad-Cop,"
it was evidont that the players had not
iriven that attention they should have gW-
en, to render tho plnvs with credit to them
selves. However, tho nndiencc heartily
colored the blunders mnde, nnd possibly en
joyed them as well as if rendered in good
style.
Altogether tho rendering of the whole
programo of the school exercises were very
creditable to tho teacher and scholars,
nnd gave great satisfaction and pleasure to
the large audience.
-T
Wine. Mr. David Stearns, tliis week,
gave us n bottle of wine, manufactured
from grapes raised on his farm, looated
nenr Phanix. in tlilH county. Tho wine
was of fine flavor, nnd wo havo no doubt
it will so improve with time as to compare
favorably with the best of " Sparkling
Catawba" or "California Wine." It wns
made from tho following named varieties
of grapes Black llumburg, Black Prince,
Muscat and Fontnino Nang. Tho whole
prodrfet is about 2f0 gallons. Mr. Stearns
says ho does not know what the profits of
this first experiment will amount to, but
is satisfied that they will bo satisfactory,
and is confident that next yenr he can
mnko it pay handsomely. It is with pleas
ure we record the sflcwss of this first at
tempt to mnko wine from grapes in our
Valley. It has demonstrated that tho soil
and cllmnto of our valley nro admirably
adapted for the production of wine-making'
grapes. In no portion of California is the
grape-vine more productive, or tho quality
of tho fruit better.
Tub Railroad. Mr. Barry, Ass't En
gineer of O.il. and Columbia River Rail
road, and Mr. Geo. 1. Funk, of this place,
being duly authorized, will next week
canvass tho valley to collect and receipt
for subscriptions to the survey. Wo hope
they will be met with a generous liberality,
for it is of more vital importunes to our
valley that this road should bo built than
to any other section through which it is to
pass. Mr. Elliott started from this place,
Friday morning for Marysville, where he
will finish his map?, nuko out his report,
and then proceed without delay to the
East, to Iny his plans before those who can,
and we hopo wi'l, through influence nnd
money, build tho road. Lot each person
who intends making this valley his home,
give something.
c
Classes are being formed in Jacksonville
nnd Ashland for the study of the science
of Elocution, under tho tutelage of Rev.
E. Arnold, now residing at Fort Jones,
Cul. If the classes nro filled, which we
hopo will bo tho case, Mr. Arnold, in ad
dition to his instructions to tho class, will
deliver a course of fifteen public lectures,
which, from the well-known talents of the
lecturer, cannot fail to bo instructive and
entertaining.

Caiiiiaok IIkads. Mr. Applcgato pre
sented us witli some fine cabbages. One
of these, especially, in our estimation, is of
the very largest size, tho plant weighing
3(5 pounds, and the head measuring 13
inches in diameter. A hnlf dozen of theso
cabbage heads weigh as follows, flfi, 22, 27,
20, 20, 20 117. They were raied upon
his Ashland farm. Can any one do butler?
Mulish. Mules and facts are said to bo
stubborn things, nnd when taken collect
ively form one of the most unyoaldlojr com
binations possible. This has been cleariy
demonstrated in tho celebrated suit of
McWillls tw. Taylor, alias "Tho Mule
Cose," which has been in court near two
years. This else camo on to bo heard Inst
Tuesday, anil occupied nearly the whole
day. Tho jury wns out until Wednesday
night, when Judge Prim, being satisfied
that they could not agree, discharged them.
This id the third jury that has been dis
charged on tills case, withottt n verdict.
We publish In this paper an article
commenting on a cnmmtinication by Mr.
Channcey Nye, published two weeks since.
The writer is known to have traveled over
the Honey Lake route this summer, and
we understand, is well acquainted with the
Emigrant Road. As to tho location of
the Fort, wo think tho present winter will
determine whether it is o suitable one or
not. In the mcnntlmc, however, If our
friends think they can settle the matter
through newspupcr communications, our
