30 JANUARY 25, 26, 27, 1865 NEVADA TRANSCRIPT
find competent men who will be willing to accept the offices. We have no doubt that some changes will be
made when the next Legislature meets.
AMONG the list of passengers by the last steamer we notice the names of A. E. Head and lady, C. E.
Filkins and family and Jos. Clark, all well and favorably known in this part of the country.
THE Marysville Express don’t like our urging the repair of the colored people’s church. No wonder.
Copperheads are constitutionally opposed to churches and school houses.
THE old steamer Washoe has been converted into a ferry boat and will commence running between
Oakland and San Francisco in a few days.
THURSDAY, JANUARY 26, 1865
BIRTHS. In this city, yesterday, to [Emma A. Ward] the wife of M. L. Marsh a son [Sherman Ward].
In this city, yesterday, to the wife of A. Rosenthal a son.
FROM DRUM BARRACKS.—A letter received from one of the citizens of this place, enlisted
with Lieut. Scoby, states that the Company for which Scoby was recruiting has been consolidated with
Company E of the 4th regiment. All those who went from this county to join Company A, will probably
be sent to Fort Yuma at an early day to join Company E which is stationed at that place. In speaking of the
condition of Santa Barbara county the writer says: “The rains have made this portion of the county look
like a Paradise, the clover has decked the valley with verdure and the cattle, which were starving a few
months ago, are now in splendid condition.” The letter gave a glowing account of a soldier’s life, and says
Uncle Sam feeds his boys well. From his account we should judge that the Nevada recruits of Company
A fully sustain the reputation so well earned by soldiers of this county at Camp Kibbe—they are expert
foragers.
THIEVING CHINAMAN.—We doubt if any people in the world can beat the Chinese as thieves.
Stealing seems to be a second nature with them. They steal anything from a chicken to the gold from a
mining claim, sometimes venturing to enter a store and rob it of its contents. Numbers of these people
may be seen prowling around the outskirts of the town any night, and throughout the entire county they
may be met at any hour of the night. Their speciality seems to be chicken-stealing. No roost is too high or
too well protected when the Celestial appetite craves chicken meat. Numerous petty robberies have been
committed in this vicinity recently, and we have no doubt that the Chinese are the perpetrators.
FRIDAY, JANUARY 27, 1865
BIRTH. At Freeman’s ranch, near Marysville, on the 23d inst., to the wife of J. F. Freeman, a son.
MILITARY COMPANY.—The new Company at Moore’s Flat, under the command of Capt.
Atwater, has been filled up to the requisite number, and will soon receive the arms and accoutrements
allowed by the State. The Company drills regularly each Friday evening, and much interest is manifested
in its welfare. It is attached to Major Knowlton’s Battalion.
