HORACE GREELY.-Yesterday the "whte
coated philosopher of the New York Trib-
nne honored our town with flying visit
He was met in the suburbs by cavalcade
of citizens who escorted him through town,
and to the diggngs that are the objects of
our pride and the source of our prosperity.
He was surprised at their extent, and at the
skill, energy and enterprise with which our
mining operations are carried on. Return
ing to town he met, what must, for the time
being, have made him forget diggings, and
tunnels, and hydraulics-a number of our
1ades, who had collected at the Union Hotel
to meet and to greet him.
Meanwhile, quite respectable number of
scitfzshs had collected who desired to hear
him speak, and he was called on fora speech
lie answered to the call by a brief speech, in
which he highly complimented the intelli-
;gence and enterprise of our people; advert
ed to the fact that one great cause of the
rapidity of our advancement, as State, was
that here labor was free and honorable, and
he insisted that voluntary and rewarded la
Dor was always in the end cheaper and more
profitable than inyolantary and unrewarded
labor.
He then spoke briefly of the Ytlahtic and
Pacific railroad and telegraph, earnestly ad-
vocating their speedy constructions, and ex-
pressed hope that in another year the tel
'egraph would on its lightning wing, flash
the news of great results from the Atlantic
to the Pacific shores. He was listened to
with marked attention and respect, and left
us favorably impressed with our prospects
and our people. He left last evening for
Grass Valley, where, we hope, the people
will give him a chance of seeing things for
himself, without trying to make him look
at matters through the spectacles of preju-
dice. Horace Greeley is good man and a
rich man-accidents that seldom unite in the
same person-and we hope that the same
organ of benevolence that has made him
good man, will when united with his strong
intellectually, induce him to speak of us as
we are, and "naught extenuate nor set down
aught in malice"
'sFarewelli-but whenever you welcome the hour,
That awakens the ght song of mirth in your bower,
Then think of the friend who once welcomed it too,
And forgot his own griefs to be happy with you'

ROBBERS IN NEyADA-On Tuesday MORN
ing according to the Democrat a robber en-
tered the store of J. NJ. Hamilton Il Co., on
Main street, and took from desk two purses
containing S944. In one of the purses was
a draft for $500, Mr.. Hamilton had been
writing at the desk, which he unlocked and
opened, and at the same time saw the purses.
Being called to the front part of the store
by a customer, he left the desk 81 few MIN
utes, and on his return the money was
missing. The Democrat also gives an ac-
count of the robbery of the U. S. Hotel,
of a box OF jewelry, which was retrieved,
but the rebber permitted to escape.

TIE ELEPHANTS ARE CoMING.-Eyerybo body
has heard about the "Campbells are Coming,
until it has become an old song; but now
the Elephants arc coming, in all their ele-
phantine colossity. BY an attentive perusal
of our advertising columns it will become
apparent that The Circus and the wonderful
elephants will be here next Thursday. The
most " onderful thing, in the whole affair, is,
that Sam Lathrop, the best clown that ever
trod on sawdust, is alive and to the fore, and
will lend the aid of his genius to aid the
'marvcls of the elephants. We shall go to
laugh at Sam .Lathrop.; if they trot out the
horses and d,alephants, We can't help it. The
Elephant and Circus men, it seems, very
generously, give an afternoons performance
for the benefit of the little people, of which
ithe little people, we hope, in despite of our
social Gradgrinds, will bountifully avail
themselves. Speaking for ourselves, and
those most dear to us, we are bound to see
Sam Lathrop-elepfants or no elephants.
