~We again call the attention Of our
friends TO the appearance and progress Of
the Telegraph. Examine it in comparison
with any other paper you may have, and
then show it to your ncighbors. All it
wants is to become known. Subscribers
are coming in every day. At least a
thousand copies ought to be taken in
Meigs County, and they aoi1 be. But they
might as we'll be sent in at once. With
that number the office would pay, and we
are satisfied the friends of the paper will
not let it stop short of that number. Ain't
it worth the money it costs? Amt the
influence OF good paper worth more than
money Are you not satisfied that the
Telegraph, if widely circulated, would
exert good influence II it does not
you ought not to read it yourself, but j
it does, why not extend its circulation
If each subscriber will show it to hi
neighbors with friendly word he will have
the satisfaction of seeing its sphere of u.s.

would be well perhaps il all persons and com

two hundred and twenty-eight years ago, /. e.
on the 18th Of September, 1880, the name OF
Boston was given to 1.-THE Trmountalne" on
which the noble city now stands, with little ex-

ALI SWEET AwAY.--Among the many sad
incidents, says the New Orleans DeLtd. Of the
present epidemic, which have come 10 our
knowledge. and which we have generally alb
stained from publishing, is the following, per
haps unsurpassed in affective interest: A Ger
man, who came to this city many years since,
had acquired large property, and last spring
he sent over to "faderland' and removed to
this city all the members Of his mm ate fam
lily. some seven or eight in number--falher,
mother. brothers and sisters. Not long after
their arrival the pestilence entered his house,
hold, and ceased not its work of death until
every one of the newly arrived relatives were
carried forth to their graves. in a strange land,
which they had come SO far to Gil.

EXCAVATIONS NEAR RoME.-Sir Chas. Eastlake
writes to the Builder an account Of some impor-
tant excavations which have been recently made
in the neighborhood OF Rome. Several inter
esting fragments have been thrown up por-
ton of the old Roman road (Via Latina) uD-
covered and a most interesting tomb consisting
of several chambers highly ornamented, con-
tanning sarcophagi, etc. has been discovered
The remains of an early Christian basilica have
also been disclosed. and the general impression
seems to be that what has heretofore been dis
covered only forms a small portion Of a "paga"
or village, of which the most part still remains
to be dlsinterred.

PARTISAN PLEADISo.-T National. a paper
owned. edited and published by Federal ON
cials, for the purpose OF defending the Admin
istration, is strongly in favor of the recent
course of action pursued by the Government
agents concerning the New Almaden niue, and
II treats the question in truly partisan style.
Those who do not approve OF the action Of the
Court are denounced as enemies Of the Admin.
istratiOn the policy inaugurated by the ma,
ehiuatiOus of Stanton and his colleagues is an
nounced as Administration policy and we ex-
pect soon to see that paper endeavOring to
make the decision of the Court a test Of party
tealty. We object to this style Of treating the
subject The line of policy recently inaugura-
ted in relation to the New Almaden mine is one
which will seriously affect The interests of the
people of this State for good or evil, and consc-
quently the matter has received much atten.
ton. A subject of such vast Importance should
be discussed OH its own merits. independent Of
party feeling and free from the influence ol
party drill. We do not believe 10 bolstcrng
up or deerying the action of the Court in The
New Almaden case by the use OF political clap
trap and senseless partisan defamation, after
the manner of paid adv COATES Of the pretensioni
of political aspirants. Those who disapprov'
of the action of and the policy pursued by the
Court and the Government agents have dis
cussed the subjects solely on its own merits
aud according to the manner in which il will
probably affect the interests of the people at
large. They have not attempted to give par
tisan tinge to the discussion /; what occasion is
there for pensioned organ Of the Adninistra-

The MoHAvE MAssAcRE.--The Indians on the

Of Oct, that the Eye-ats (Mohave Indans),
some of whom (thirtcenl were in their village,
had attacked and defeated party of Ameri-
cans on the Colorado, killing large number
Of the party aud taking nearly all their stock
and property. One Eye.at was killed. one bad
ly wounded, and eight slightly. They report
ed, that the cause of this attack was, that when
Lieut.. Beale came through there, be gave Or
ders that no Indians should be permitted to
come within certain lines-that the Indians
went over these lines and we're fired upon, and

LATER FROM Los ANoELEs.--We copy the fol-
lowing from telegraphc dispatch to the Sac.
ramento Bee, dated San Jose Dec. lst:
The Los Angeles stage of the 2sth ultimo,
arrived here at half past III o'clock, this fore
noon.
In regard to the Gia mines, the Los Angeles
Star says: "They are represented by some rs
yielding as low as two dollars, aud others put
il as high as twenty dollars, per day to the
man" 1t further says that gold is there, but
whether in such abundance as to warrant the
influx of a large number of people, is yet some
what doubtful.
The trial of Paneho Daniel for the murder
of the late Sheriff Barton, in February, 1857,
is attracting a large share of attention in Los
Angeles. Various proceedings were had in
Court aud great difficulty found in getting a
jury. Twentysx jurors were excused out of
ffIy-six summoned, and bias was alleged on
the part of the Sheriff in summoning the jury
Triors were appointed hy The Court, and the
Coroner was called and the triOrs given into
his care. They gave their verdict that the
challenge was true. The Coroner was also
challenged for bias. and bias found to exist
The Coroner resigned and the Court appointed
another. The case was finally transferred to
Santa Barbara county.
Mr.. Stevens of the overland mail company,
who came from Fort Yuma, says the news frCm
the mines is not Of an exciting character. He
thinks a few men might do very well on the
Gila. bat does not speak as to the extent oil
