TIE INDIANS IN THE SoUTH-We have fire.
quently called the attention of the authori.
ties to the necessity cf making provisions for
the large body of Indians located in the
southern country and again repeat our re.
quest for aid for the poor Indian. Latterly,
from week to week, we have heard complaints
of the inroads of Indians on the people of
our adjoining counties they have made in
cursions into tue settlements, carrying off
such stock as they could lay hand on; and it
is feared they may come into collision with
the citizens, who are determined to give
them warm reception on the first opportu-
nty and thus, perhaps, precipitate a war,
which must result in great loss of life, and
expenditure of treasure. Warfare is any,
thing but desirable condition, as the iniu-
ries necessarily inficts on a whole neigebor-
hood are not easily repaired or forgotten
1t would be great calamity for this section
of country to have an Indian war raging in
an adjoining county; we want an increased
population, and this we certainly cannot ex-
pect if the Indians adjoining us are in hos
tile condition. But, apart from this rather
narrow view of the case, the great injustice
of the course of the authorities towards the
Southern Indians, calls loudly for redress
They have been left without assistance, and
the adverse seasons have deprived them OF
their usual crops. They are now in state
of starvation, and the kna wings of hunger
drive them to seize upon the animals of the
citizens, to maintain life If caught and pun
ished for thefts, may they not muster in their
strength and wreak u bloody revenge on the
whites indiscriminately.-Los AngeLes Star.

DoNr LIKE PorTER.-It would appear from
the following in the Nevada Democrat, of
yesterday, that that paper does not esteem
one j. S. Potter quite as highly as it might
Our new theater has been in operation
about one week, and fully demonstrates that
any institution which charges one dollar ad
mission, to witness the burlesque of tragedy
and butchery of comedy, can be supported
here. 1t is needless TO mention that j. S.
Potter, better known as "Old Potter" is the
Tamerane who leads the present troupe of
Histrionic Tartars to the desccration of the
Drama. 1t is only for the purpose of incu-
baton that Potter occasionally relieves Ne
vada with his presence. When landlords and
printers become clamorous, and actors fran
tic for their pay this astute manager frees
himself from the one by dismissal, and the
other by flight, and in the region of San An
dreas, or some such favored locality, brings
forth a new brood of dramatic artists for the
special benefit of Nevada. To this regular
advent we are becoming resigned it is all
we can be. We would as soon think of
changing the course of the comet as of this
stage manager. Finances cannot get low
enough 10 stop him. Curses are the meat on
which he feeds, and the only meat which is
not given grudgingly. AT each return those
who will pay dollar can see him represent
upon the stage the new way to pay old debts
while those who credit him get parting re-
hearsal Of his old way Of paying new debts
AS would be expected, such manager can
never command the service of sufficient tai
ent to prevent tragedy becoming farce and
farce tragedy The little of ability connec-
ted with this troupe is stutifed 10y the stu
pidity of the supes, and from the drop of the
curtain to the fall of king, some ridiculous
blunder characterizes the entire performance

RECEIVING INDIANS ON THE RESERVATIONS
The Humboldt Times says; 1t will be seen
from the correspondence between VIM. l.
Reed, x-Sheriff ofthis county, and Col Buel
of the Klamath Reservation, that the latter
will receive outside Indians on said Reserva
ton, and will protect and subsist them the
same as those who are now living on the
same This is but right and proper, as il
would naturally occur to any one that the
object of establishing the Reservations was
not simply TO subsist the Indians already on
the ground, but also to provide homes fol
those outside We have further supposed
that it was the duty of the Indian Depart
ment to collect in the other Indians scattered
about everywhere in the country through
which the white people are obliged to travel
and in which the hardy pioneers are entitled
to settle and build up homes for themselves
and families The policy cfthe government
founded upon long experience, is to with
draw the Indians from such parts of the eoun
fryNs.would necessarily expose them to con
tact with the white settlers, as the only
means of averting frequent difficulties and
bloody wars If we are correct in this view
then whose duty is it to carry out this policy
Is it not the duty Of the Indian Departments
and If so, what particular agents of that de.
partikent ?--the Superintendent, or the local
agents, or both If such duties do not de
volve upon these officers, for what are they
appointed, and why spend money in keeping

GRoss BLuNDER-We would like to know
whom the Commissioner of the General Land
Office consulted, or whether he consulted
any one, when he established the office for
this District at the torn of Humboldt We.
who are supposed to be in the vicinity of the
Land Office, know no such town. In 1850,
when there were paper towns built up all
over the State, there were "IIumboldt City" ."
"West Humboldt and perhaps various other
Humboldts located in this region, but it
would now puzzle the antiquarian much
more to find their locality than that of Troy
of old-that is generally supposed to have
had a real existence at one time, which can
not be said of the numerous cities hereabouts
which have made such wonderful attempts at
notorety by stealing the name of greatness.
1t would be just as sensible to take "New
York of the Pacific" to be the great com
mercial city of this coast, as to be governed
by the old maps of 1850, in reference to the
prominent town in this section.
The officers of the Land Office, on their
arrival here sent on representation of the
true condition of things, backed up by pc
tition of our citizens, and no doubt the next
mail win bring an order for the removal of
the Office from the town of Humboldt.-Hu0t-

a W AnRIoR QUEEN KILLED IN INDIA-An
Indian letter in the London Times announces
the death Of the Rance (Queen) of Jhansi, at
the hands of the British, before G walior.-
Though but twenty-three years of age, she is
sad to have resembled the great Russian

But the spark had touched the train-Bengal

time to regain that Independence from the
British yoke her ancestors had lost. We
know what her first steps were-the blood of

and though well meaning men have endeav-
cred To show, and 1 sincerely hope with
truth, that the atrocities attributed to her
were greatly overrated, they still admit, re-
luctaRtly, that these poor creatures were on
ly cut to pieces
Henceforth, of course, it was war to the
knife. She became the very soul of the
movement in those parts. Her forts were
strengthened, her IRen gathered together in
masses, stores laid in, and every preparation
made for seige or fight. For herself, she

for mana soldier--in his situation. Six
fine looking mules his own animal exhausted.
and his Journey not half lfaccomplished? What
must he do? Demand a new animal, and if
refused, kill the owner2 No That would
be both robbery and murder. Riding up to
the teamster who was moving comfortably
along, Harney commanded halt, and fixing
his eyes upon the finest of the mules. said:

"P'raps you must, and then agin. pr'aps
you mustn't, stranger" was the prompt reply
of wild, rough looking individual, standing

The proposition to fight being considered
entirely correct, the couple pitched in, and
