" Edited by the Devils.

The last issue OF the Nevada J0nrHdL con-
tains the announcement, under its inside IT,
tle-head, that it is now edited by the dew
lis Itappears that the human editors went
to Sacramento to attend the American Con
vention, and left their paper in charge of the
impS, who Immediately commenced circum-
venting the absent digntarieS by largely adj
ding spice to the columns Of the paper, and
trying to convince people that the departed
are of no account The rascals begin thus {:
The devil upon a certain occasion-during
severe spell Of sickncss-signifed to his
friends his entire willingness to assume, for
the time being, the character of monk, but
to expect him to descend to the position of
editor, is a most mgracious imposition upon
good nature Considering, however, that
high character will dignity any occupation,
and considering that the community has been
most shamefully deserted by those whose du-
ty it was to do the dirty work of this Office,
and that a part of the odium of Il failure
might fall upon the aforesaid devil, owing
to his connection with the aforesaid desert
ers-and for the purpose also of showing the
versatility and universally of his genius
he has agreed to squat for once upon the ed
itorial tripod and show the country what the
"press" might be, if conducted by able
hands. We hope that the brilliancy of this
issue will not render our patrons dissatisfied
hereafter, if the paper should again be char
actcrized by the prosaism of its regular
editors"
In another article, it is stated that
"Both the Editors of this paper, on or
about the 3lst day Of August, A. ID. 1856,
suddenly took into their heads to let the pa
per 90 the devil without their assistance,
and hurriedIy decampcd for parts unknown
Whether they have gone to walow in the
filthy pool of politics at Sacramento, or
whether matters of personal delicate ma
ture here have produced this sudden exit, it
is impossible for us to determine. Some de
velopmcnts have certainly been made since
their departure which have caused consider
able uncasiness among their most trusting
friends. 1t is undoubtedly true that they
have LETT many outstanding bills unsettled
insnuatons have been made about leaving
the State intent to defraud crcditors,' &c.
and lawyers have been consulted in relation
to the doctrine of arrests in civil actions,
and as to what constitutes the crime of
swindlng. Their families are in the most
distressed condition--not willing to believe
the rumorS aiIoat in the community, and yet
unable to satisfy themselves of their false
hood AS to the creditors of the missing
gentlemen, they may relieve themselves of
all uncasinesS, for we confidently assure them
that if they will go to the devil, they will
get their Gucs."
That the fugtivcs may be arrested, they
are described
" The one is thick, hcavy-sct, 'wolfsR
looking hombre, with heavy whiskers about
the color Of yellow paint and II tremendous
hole between the nose and chin. lie pow
crlul from the shoulder, and if he makes
any resistance, you had better be very eau
tious. 1t would be hard for him to disguise
himself, unless he docs it with clean shirt.
" The other is a clean-limbed, slick look
ing individual, with heap of backbone,
and rather purity In appearance, he is an
excellent embodiment of the idea generally
entertained Of nice young man. Owing
to his good looks, if he takes to any dis
guise, he will probably adopt pockets, in
which costume he might easily pass for a
strong-mindcd woman"
