Indian Disturbances in Texas.

We learn. from citizen of Belknnp that rar-
ty VI northern Indians came in below that rlace
last week and stole number Of horses and made
for Red river with them. A party of Reserve Ia
dams, forty in number started on the trail, and
Captain Ford. with his rangers, who was in the
vicinity ulsc started in pursuit. From tho signs
on the trail of the depredatorr, and proceed with
his command to Major Van Dorn's camp. and CO.
operate with him in campaign against the In
dian. ut their Villages and then engage them in a
decisive fight. 1t is rum0red however, that the
Reserve Indians, after pursuing the trail some
three days, and not being joined by Captain Ford,
gave up the pursuit,as the hostile Indians outnun-
hcred them, and returned 10 the Reserve. We
have not learned whether Capt. Ford proceeded to
Major Van Dorn's camp or not II is believed Ivy
some that there were white men connected with
the thieying party.

An exchange paper says: "ls 10 rather surpri'
sing that whilst ocean steamers built by private
enterprise make voyage after voyage without dam
age, there 10 scarcely Government steamer that
makes voyage without having to put In some
where 10 repair machinery"
1t is not "surprisins" at all Everybody knows
that the contracts for Government machinery are
given out to political avorites in reward for servi-
COS to 'tbe party" They charge extravagant pri-
ces for the machinery, and furnish m inferior
articlc-so that they may have the more money to
contribute to carry IN election. A contract for
machinery for Government vessel WINS given,
last year, to Merrick Il Sons, Of Philadelphia. on
the ground that they had Ave hundred mon in
their employment who would be driven up to the
polls, like many hogs, and made u vote for the
election to Congress of a popshop politician by
the name Of Florence. Other bidders offered to
furnish the machinery cheaper, and would pr"ba-
bly, have given n better article-but they would
not consent 10 abase their manhood by contribu-
ting portion of their profits To buy up votes for
"the great Democratic party" When those con
tracts arc given out solely in the interest Of party,
no wonder tho machinery is as worthless AZ the
"Iarty' which employs such disgraceful and dis
honest means to advance its interests.

observing the tattoocd arms, limbs and bodies Of

with his breast all BARE and big fellow. with no
compunction but with great energy, scarifying

paint1 dipped into India ink, and cnch wound in

have double hearts and love-arrows, and some in
close in wreath Of roses the initials of desert
cl vet hopcd-for sweet, heart. Then thee is the
patriotic TASTE with the Escutchcon Of the Union,
and a ship Of war ready for fight. 1t is estma-
ted that, at least, four thousand persons in the
United States Navy annually, are tattooed, with
figures costing from - cents to SIS, and showing

DIVISION OF THE STANDARDIZATION have
been introduced into the Assembly BY Don An
dreas Pico, Of Los Angeles, in relation to dvi-
ding the State. The resolutions give the con-
sent Of the State that the counties Of San Louis
Obispo, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, San Die
20 and San Bernsrdino, with the islands ada.
cent to those counties, be separated from Cali
fornia. and organized as Territory Of the Uni
ted States, under the name of the Territory Of
Colorado.
The State is proposed TO be divided by sim.
pie resolution Of the Legislature, provided the
consent of Congress is obtained. The bounda-
ries of the State are defined by the Constitution,
and We do not see how . number Of counties
can be set Of without q change Of that instru.
ment. II the people Of few southern counties
think they would gain any thing by having
. separate government, weare satisfied that
the people of the northern counties will make
no serious objection to the division. But those
favoring the division should begin right. Let
ihe question first be submitted to vote of the
people Of the counties which it is proposed to
set off; and if it is found that majority favor
the measure, steps can be taken to amend the
Constitution. The division would then be eff
fected legally, and the people at every stage of
the proceedings would be enabled TO vote in-
telligently.
The Nevada Democrat., 1859-02-09

NEW ALMADEN.-A letter from J. W. Denver,
in regard to the New Almsden case, has been
published In some of the papers OF this State.
He says that the Government has no Intention
Of interfering with the working Of the mines,
and that the reason why suit was commenced
against the New Almaden claimants, was be-
cause they had set up title adverse to that OF
the United States. This statement Of Mr.. Den
ver's is not sustained by the facta II the Gov.
ernment intended only to resist the claim to
The land, what necessity was there Of interfer-
ing with the working of the mine2 The ques-
tion as to the title to the land, has been pend
ing for some years in the U. s. District Court,
and the agents of the Government applied for,
and obtained, an injunction, to prevent the
working Of the mine, on the ground that the
mineral belonged to the government. The suit
was commenced to restrain parties from carry
ing off mineral from land claimed by the Uni
ted States, and the Government has the same
right to interfere with the working Of a quartz
lead, that 1t has to interfere with the working
Of the New Almaden mine.
The Nevada Democrat., 1859-02-09
NEVADA, WEDNESDAY, FEB. ., 1859.

THE IssUE.-Mr. Lansing, In speech upon
the Broderick resolutions. stated that the con-
test in this county, at the last election, was
squarely made upon the original Kansas policy
of the Administration. This statement Is not
true, as Mr.. Lansing well knows. The Lecomp-
ton wing Of the Democratic County Convention
never endorsed the Kansas policy Of the Ad-
ministration, and during the canvass their
speakers avoided that issue ss much as posi-
bic. The burden of their speeches was to the
eject that Lecompton was dead issue; that
the question could never again be brought be-
fore Congress; that Douglas had given in his
adhesion to the English bill, and was firm
supporter of the Administration. Mr.. Lansing
himself was an original LeeomptOn man, al-
though he frequently admitted that the Presi-
dent was wrong and that Douglas was right;
but he believed the Lecompton measure would
be forced through Congress, and that those
who opposed IL would fnd themselves outside Of
the Democratic party; shat he had got out OF
the party once, and be was determined not to
get out again even II he did have to advocate
o fraud in order to prove his party fealty.
Twc-thirds Of Mr.. Lansing's supporters In this
county, at first professed to be opposed to the
Kansas measure Of the Administration, but Of
forwards made the English bill an excuse for
coming into the Lecompton traces.

TRANSMISSION OF BLooD.-The New Orleans
correspondent of the Union writing Jan. 18th.
relates the following successful medical exper-
iment:
A very interesting case of the TRANSMISSION Of
blood from the veins of healthy person TO
those OF person in the last stages of collapse
after black vomit was recently reported to me
by the successful physician. aud as it is case
of exceeding rarity, | will, in a few words, give
you the particulars. The patient was young
lady who, after having the yellow fever aud
black vomt, was sinking rapidly, when it oc-
Cured to her father, who was physician. to
make the experiment of transfusng healthy
aud fresh blood into her system, according to
the mode said to have been practiced With sue
cess in Paris He accordingly procured a young
and healthy man, and, opening the vein of his
arm, placed in it tube. the other end of which
was placed in al open artery of the patients
arm. The blood flowed freely. and after trans
fusing nearly three ounces the veins were clos
ed and bandaged. The patient recovered with
extraordinary rapidity, aud is now alive. The
case establishes a new theory in the practice,
as regards yellow fever, and, it is to be hoped
Will be the 'means Of saving many a valuable
life.
The Nevada Democrat., 1859-02-09

HOLDEN ON FAcTs.-In the course of the de-
bate on the anti-BrOderick resolutions, in the
Senate, Mr.. Holden, of Stanisaus, stated that
Henry A. Wise and Hugh L. White had re-
signed their seats in the U. S. Senate, because
they had been instructed to vote for measures
they could not support, and that Gen. Cass
would have resigned in preference to disobey-
ing the instructions of the Legislature of his
State. This statement is untrue so far as Mr..
Wise or Gen. Cass is concerned The former
never was q member Of the U. S. Senate, and
Gen. Cass has dsregarded the instructions Of
the Legislature Of his State, and given his rea-
sons at length for go doing. The case of Hugh
L. White, we know nothing about, but the
statement that be resigned rather than disobey
instructions is probably as truthful as the state
ment in regard to Gen. Cass and Mr.. Wise.
