Chapter XXIV - Journalism
CALIFORNIA EXPRESS
For more than a year but one paper was issued in the city, and that of an independent cast, when a full-fledged Democratic paper - The California Express - appeared upon the scene.  The first number was issued November 3, 1851, by George Giles & Co., and edited by Colonel Richard Rust.   January 12, 1852, W.T. Giles & Co. became proprietors of the paper, Colonel Rust continuing in the editorial chair.  July 26, 1852, J. McElroy and Andrew Brady purchased the paper, under the name of J. McElroy & Co., retaining Colonel Rust in his editorial capacity.  June 22, 1854, Luther Laird, George W. Bloor and M.D. Carr, became proprietors of the Express, with the firm name of L. Laird & Co.   Colonel Rust still continued to wield the editorial shears and pen, assisted by George W. Bloor.  Upon the death of Luther Laird in 1856, Lloyd Magruder became one of the proprietors of the paper.  The same year M.D. Carr went East, and Stephen Addington, now of the Colusa Sun, purchased his interest in the Express, and became the assistant editor.  July 26, 1857, Colonel Rust resigned the editorial chair to John R. Ridge.  November 6, 1857, W.F. Hicks & Co. became proprietors of the paper, and John R. Ridge retained the editorial control.  August 4, 1858, Mr. Ridge resigned his charge, and A.C. Russell succeeded him, acting in that capacity until March 26, 1859, when the editorial duties were assumed by J.F. Linthicum.  In 1861, the paper was issued by the Express Printing Company.  The California Express was from the first, a warm exponent of pure, unadulterated States Rights Democracy, and during the long civil war, was an earnest advocate of the "Lost Cause" and the right of the Southern States to secede from the Union.  So distasteful did its course become to the loyal citizens of Marysville, that it was several times threatened with destruction at their hands.  The Express was ably edited, and had for the contributors some of the most talented men on the coast.  It was very successful and influential until it adopted its unfortunate policy of defense of the South.  From this time it began to decline, and in 1866, was compelled to succumb.  Like the Herald in the early days, the Express issued a "steamer" edition for the circulation in the East.  It also published a weekly in connection with its daily issue.

MARYSVILLE DAILY AND WEEKLY APPEAL
The first number of the Daily Appeal appeared January 23, 1860, with H.B. Mighels as editor. It was issued by G.W. Bloor & Co., and was independent in politics. B.P. Avery & Co. purchased the Appeal, June 5, 1860, and began issuing a thorough Republican paper, Mr. Avery managing the editorial department.........
