SIGNS OF PROSPERITY.

In the flush and prosperous times Of '55
and Sc no sight was more familiar to our
people OF promised more for the future Of
the Great West, than long emigrant trains
Of brave. hardy pioneers, seeking for them.
selveS and families competence anu a
home in this new and distant region. Sue
cess ia most instances aroused the natural
acquisitivenese Of our people, created ex-
element hurried them on 10 Madness
We -.pidly degenerated into nation OF
consumers. Production, which is the only
basis Of wealth and prosperity was in a
great measure neglected or abandoned,
until We found ourselves with every thing
to pay for and nothing to pay with. There
was no longer anything for credit to sub
sist on, and sudden paralysis smote every
branch Of industry. The reaction which
banished into the air" so many antici :
pa'ed fortunes and hopeful enterprises,
was not greater than would naturally fol
low. We had lost none Of our splendid
resources. but unwisely had ceased to de-
velope them. Instead Of studying and
practicing wholesome political economy
we had applied ourselves to political ex
travagsnse. A little consideration sug.
gestsd the remedy, which Is nothing more
than return to producing, the cultivation
Of more intimate acquaintance with the
soil, and thereby enlarge and sustain the
real basis Of q healthy and vigorous
growth. This lesson the people have
learned, and already are beginning to feel
sensibly its benefits. Confidence and
credit are being restored by healthy e1er-
else, markets are thronged with substan.
,ial products, and laburers are seeking
new and fertile fields for cultivation. As
evidence of this, scarcely day passes bu,
emigrant teams, with abundance of stock
and agricultural implements, are seen in
our streets, seeking homes in North west
ern Iowa, Nebraska, or the new Territory
Of Dakota. Transportation over Western
Roads has largely increased, their stocks
advanced, and with our prospects of an
abundant harvest, the resources and re-
turning prosperity Of the Grea. West are
gradually exciting the attention and ad-
mi"alion Of the country.
In this connection we clip the following
from the Boston Post:
The prospects Of the United States, rs
regards material prosperity, were never
better than at present. But this subject
has been fully discussed in previous ar,i-
cles, aud We on y mention it again to call
attention to tho large and continued re-
ceipts of the Western railroads, showing
the gradual recovery OF the great Vest

THE INDIAN w AR.


From the St. Joseph Gazette of Monday,
We gather the following further particu
lars Of the Indian massacre Oh the plains
The Gazette says:
A fortnight since we received by Pony
Express AN account of massacre o,
whites at Williams Station, by the In
dams, and suggested that other outra pes
| might be expected to follow. A company
was raised in Carson Valley to visit the
scene Of the outrage at Williams Station.
The fatal result is recorded below.
The news OF the affair created as will
be Observed, the widest excitement in
California. Gen. Clark, in command OF
the Pacific Division of the L. S. Army.
and Gov powney responded immediately
to the necessities Of the people Of Carson
Valley.
The following full particulars were fer.
warded to US by our special correspondent
at Carson City:
From the Carson City Enterprise of the l5th1
INDIAN FIGHT AT PYRAMID LAKE
The different parties who were sent out
to investigate the bur hing and murder "a,
Williams Station, finding signs of Indians,
organized and traced them to near Pyra-
mid Lake. The force sent out, consisting
Of the Carson City Rangers, Major Orms-
10y, Captain the Genoa Rangers, under
Capt. I. Condor; the Virginia Rangers,
Capt. Arehy Mcdonald; the Silver City
Guards, Capt r. &. Watkins the whole
force numbered l03 men, rank and file.
The entire force was under the command
Of Major Ormsby.
On the morning Of the 18th inst, the
party struck the B x Meadows. on Truckee
river three miles from the lake. There
they found a number Of Indian warriors
occupying a strong position on hill to
the right Of the meadows, about one hall
mile in advance Of the party. The COM
mand halted, and prepared for action an
order was given no, to fire on the Indians
until the word was given One man
while the company was forming, shot ar
Indian with telescope rifle. The Indian.
then commenced firing on the party. Tn.
order was then given to charge. Will
three cheers the men charged up the hill
dispensing the foes, the Indians retrea,ins
until they got the whites into u position
which suited 'hcT they then cemmt ncst
