Tribute OF Respect to Henry Meredith.
At a meeting of the members of the Bar of

on motion of D. Belden, Esq, announcing
the death of Henry Meredith, late member of
the Nevada bar, His Honor, Niles Searls,
District Judge, was chosen Chairman, and
ThomasP. Hawley, ESQ., as Secretary of the

! On motion, A. B. Dibble, J. R. Mcconnell |
and D. Belden, were appointed committee
to draft resolutions expressive of the feelings
of sorrow, by the members of the Nevada
bar, upon the death of Henry Meredith.
j. R. Mcconnell, Esq, on behalf of said
committee, presented the following resolu-
tions, and moved their adoption:
Reso1red, That among the many affective
! dispensations with which it has pleased God
to visit us from time to time, we are espec-
ally called upon to deplore the death of
Henry Meredith, Esq., late member of the
Nevada bar, who lost his life on the 18th of
the present month, while engaged in the de-
fence of the people of Utah Territory against
the savages.
Resoloed, That his conduct as man, and
fio d law yer, WheH III our miuSl cOnclfldttu
| in the highest degree our friendship and es-
teem, and that his gallant and heroic death
on the field of battle, are III accordance with
the promise of his character and past life.
Resotred, That we, his brethren of the Ne
vada bar, deeply lament the death of Henry
Meredith, and that we will ever cherish a
grateful recollection of his manifold virtues
as man, citizen, and leading member
of the bar.
Resolred, That we deeply sympathize with
the relatives and friends of the deceased and
tender them our cordial coincidence, in their
sad bereavement.
Resolced, That these resolutions be pre-
sented in open Court with request to his
Honor the presiding Judge, that they be en-
tered upon the records of the District Court
of Nevada county, and that copies thereof
be transmitted to the relatives of deceased.
After appropriate remarks relative to the
good character of the deceased, by Messrs.
Mcconnell, Belden, Hill and Hawley, the
resolutions were unanimously adopted, and,
on motion, were ordered to be Signed by the
chairman and secretary and published in the

FRANK SoULE writes that the rifles used by the hos
tile Indians belong to California and have the initials
of Gen. Kibbe them. In the first place. he wants
to know what right Kbbe had to mark the arms of
the State and secondly how the Indians got possession
of the arms.
The following explanation of the above is
given by the Telegram:
About three years ago uncle Billy Rogers
made a requsition upon the Governor ofthis
State for arms to protect his party from the
Indians. One hundred rifles were furnished
him, and in order that they might be iden-
titled and reclaimed, the initials of General
Kibbe were stamped upon them. Nothing
has since been seen of the articles, and the
supposition is that the Indians obtained them
from Rogers company
The hydraulic press., 1860-05-19

CAN 1T BE TRUE ?-We are told by several
persons just returned from Virginia City,
that the Indians at Pyramid Lake sent mes
senger with flag of truce to meet the armed
party of whites that went to attack them,
and that this messenger was ruthlessly shot
down without parley, whereupon fight en-
sued at once. If this is true-though we
cannot so beleve-the act was most das-
tardly and disgraceful. Killing the bearer
OF flag of truce is crime of damnable in
fanny, and one that has seldom been com
nitted by civilized people. History records
such cowardly barbarism only to hold it up
to execration. The perpetrator of it in this
instance, if it really was perpetrated, must
have been some irresponsible bully acting
upon reckless and heated impulse, and he
should have been instantly shot down by his
companions. Such an example would have
conciliated the Indians, and might have led
to peaceful termination of the meeting, in
stead of to such bloody one as swiftly fol-
lowed. If we could credit the tale, it would
nearly deprive us of sympathy for the VIC
Tins of the red mans vengeance. 1t is COM
mon talk throughout Nevada and Sierra
counties, and our only object in giving it
the prominence of newspaper mention is to
afford an opportunity for its prompt refuta-
ton If false.

of the fact that he is holding himself in
readiness to go to Washoe to fight the Indi-
ans, has indited the following lines to his

THE BOULD VOLUNTEER TO HIS MISTRESS
Madame own my trade is war
And what should deny it fori
Wiener the trumpet sounds afar
long to hack and hew,
Yet Madam credit what say:
Were all the troops drawn in array
And this instant called away,
I'd rather stay with you.
Fen midst the battles horrid sound,
Whilst dying chargers bite the ground,
And bullets whistle all around,
And there's no hope in view;
Whilst the whole army's lost in smoke,
Were these the last words spoke,
swear-and darn me if l oke,
Id rather stay with you.

OvERTAKEN.-We learn from Mr. G. Schar-
din, who accompanied the San Juan COM
pany to Forest City and rode from thence
towards Jackson'S ranch in hopes of over
taking Mr.. Miller, that he caught up with
the latter at Milton. Mr. Miller expected to
overtake the Nevada company on Thursday,
and would induce them to wait for the San
Juan boys and others from La Porte Mr.
Schardin had hard jaunt from Forest City
through patches ofdeep snow, and returned
with swollen face and sore body He says
some Indians had really been in Long Valley,
where they left fag, which was understood
to mean that they claim the land and will
fight for it. This valley is about sixty miles
long, and leads to Honey Lake Valley It
is one vast meadow, set deep in the noun
tains, and quite level. The Indians might
be at the head of it and still far away from
any stations or trails of white men.

ATTEMPT TO MURDER.-Tuesday night
about o'clock as Mr.. Oague, of the Deer
Creek House, was setting by the stove, a
man opened the door and asked for some
water Mr.. 0ague raised up to get the wa
ter when another man laid a gun across the
arm of the man who opened the door, and
fired, missing Mr. O. and throwing fifteen
bxckshot into the wall Had Mr. O. remained
in the position in which he was when the
door was opened he would most certainly
have been shot The men, supposing they
had killed Mr. Oague, fed. They were
so near to him that the powder burned mis-
neck as well as that of another person who
sat near him.
This account is from the Marysville En-
press. The Appeal says the men were recog-
nised although their faces were blacked.
