DJ" We learn that our friend who
sent us in a few favors short time
since, in return for which we wished he
might "live thousand years." is con-
siderably offended with us because we
did not give him a more extended
"puff," thinking our wish rather an in
significant return. We do not know
how we shall make amends for our mis-
take, unless we do so by wishing he
may die as soon as possible Indeed
We are not sure but that would be much
the most benevolent wish for the com.

Ray" The Concert of the Citizens
Brass Band, on Thursday evening last
at the Union Meeting House, was well
attended-as much so as could be in
that house, for it was crowded. 1t was
repeated in the same place on Saturday
evening to house more Adenscly crowded
-packed-(th that's the word)-if posi-
bic than on the previous evening. Their
performance exceeded the expectation
Of the most sanguine-indeed, "their
praise was in the mouth of all the peo-
pie" Perhaps there can be no greater
evidence of the excellency Of. their per-
formance and the favor with which they
are received than the fact that their
second concert was better attended than
the first. We might here say few
words about tne necessity OF a ueceu
hall in this place for such performances
had we time and space but we vii

GoyERSNENT OF CARSON VALLEv,-T The gues-
ton will soon be mooted, says the Placerville
Herald, to what State or Territory does Carson
Valley, or the country Immediately east of the
Nevada mountains belong, including the valleys
of Walkers river and the Truckee. Not, howev-
err, to what Territory does it belong, but to what
it is to belong other than itself.
Situated greatly removed from the Salt Lake
Territory and government, though nominally at
tached to it, but with desert country of great
extent lying between, that can never be perma-
nently inhabited by man ; at the same time sep
arated from California by the Nevada mountains
"a portion of the year almost impossible from
the depths of the SHOWS, it becomes question
of interest well policy to inquire into the
expediency of establishing new territorial
government, that shall embrace the three great
valleys that lie along the eastern base of the ST.
Nevada. That their position, geographic
ally, and their peculiar resources and interests
require a government, or political organization,
differing from any other now extant within the
limits or jurisdiction of the United States, does
no, admit of doubt; and the now rapid peo-
plng OF the valleys, by permanent settlers. calls
imperatiyely for some action on the part of the
general government that shall give them the
protection that. as citizens of the United States
they are justly entitled to.
