The Spring season seems now to be fairly
opened. With the advent Of the budding
leaves aud the fragrant flowers, the jubilant
blood goes bounding through the veins, and
the soul Of woman and OF man leaps forth
in the gladness Of the sunshine. The bloom
Of the peach has given way to the embryo
fruit. and fed to the cheeks Of the laughing
fair ones Of the city. The rose in the garden
bushes in the warm kisses Of the vigorous
sun. like ful.blown beauty when she YIELDS
her maiden lips to the first kiss Of love From
the ENHANCEMENT Of vines thousand HOW
rets peep. as if they we're the bright eyes oil
fairies hidden in the leaves, Cheering is the
nromise of the fields. 50 clennly tended 10y the
busbandman. and the whole face of nature Is
beautiful, be, ond the power Of description.
With che opening Of the spring weather,
toe, we see business of every kind reviving
The roads to the mountains are beginning to
be thronged with teams and the mule trains
are more livelily on the move, Travel is in
creasing, and the stages come numbering down
the hills loaded with passengers. Our streets
begin to be enlivened 10y the presence Of new
faces, and the hotel keepers are doing good
business. Companies are passing through
our midst, bound for Washoe through the
Henness Pass, and pretty soon a regular
stream of adyenturers will pour through tina
channel. The SHOWS have disappeared from
the hills of the eastern slope, and SlvorlanC
will soon begin to tell the tale of her embos
omed secrets. Her true worth will be put &c
the test. for, like the ants upon their hills
will the busy hunters of wealth cover heI
plnins and ill her canyons, with biting picl
and delving spade. from the Steam6oa
'prings Of the North to the wild and wond
rous realm of the fshess, duck haunted
waters Of Mono Lake.
soon will it be time. now, for parties o
pleasure to start for the pine-chd mount'in'
to fish for perch in Gold Lake-to eli
honey-dew from the green leaves and bloom
on the margin of Honey Lake-to boil grouse

springs of Washoe, and eat them with relisl
and in fine. to roam at will. like the sylvan
gods of old, through the columned temples
of the woods reclining by the messy margins
Of streams. and luxuriating in the unbounded
freedom of nature. Oh, well do we know
what JOY it would be. but Fate, we fear,
still binds us to the Ixion wheel of duty, and
we shall only dream, through all the balmy
days of another season, of what we fain
would realize.

The Digger Indians.


We have just read the report OF the Com.
mittee appointed by the Senate and Assem-
bly to inquire into and report upon the con-
dition of Indian affairs in Mendocno county.
They say Tor we understand them to say) that
the Indians have been but poorly fed on the
Reservations on account of the small appro-
priations by the Government, and that some
of those who have left or were never upon
the Reservations have been reduced to the
brink of starvation and have stolen Stock
Retaliation for this has been visited upon the
innocent with the guilty. and women and
children have been murdered by certain
brutes in human form. organized into ''inde-
pendent companies" The Committee are Of
! opinion that the Indians would not commit
depredations if they were well treated and
properly cared for. The whites have settled
up their hunting and fishing grounds and
driven them from their old localities SO that
they are pushed to theft, frequently, as last
desperate resort The Committee recommend
the passage of a law for the better protection
Of the Indians. and strict enforcement of
penal statutes for any infringement Of their
rights.
All this iS vary well, but our own private
opinion is, that the reason that .hase Digger
Indians of California are unfortunately
slaughtered in this manner, without distinc
ton of age or sex, is that it is easy work to kill
them. They are poor, miserable, cowardly
race, and therefore the lower class of white
men treat them with the barbarity which
they do. The Indians rights have been the
beet respected, since the first settlement O
this continent, in those places where he hai
held his ground by bow and gun, tomahawk
and sealping knife where he has shown him
self warrior, and ready to mingle his blood
with the soil upon which he grew, rethe
than leave it; where he has met encroach-
ment upon his rights, or what he deemed hi
rights, by the torch of midnight confagra
tion and the death menacing war whoop an'
the death dealing tomahawk where he ho
made it unsafe to lie down at night or to &c
up in the morning or to journey forth b,
day-tAere has his title to land been recog
nized and there has he been negotiated witt
and there have mutual terms of peace bee
subscribed to and respected. There was n
need of penal statutes to enforce his goo'
treatment His own manhood enforced il
But. here, with these cowardly Diggers VIII
permit themselves to be slaughtered lik
sheep in the shambles, the case is very dif
ferent; and they viii be killed, driven On'
kicked in spite of all the laws for the bette
protection ofIndans and all the penal statute
that can be piled betwixt the surface of tn
earth and the center of the concave We d,
not say that they will thus be killed, driver
or kicked by the State or the Federal Gov
ernment but by that ignorant, lower class O
white men who do justice from fear, and VIII
respect a man according to his ability to Gu
their throats or knock out their brains

The OVERLAND Pony ExPREss-A letter
from ST. Louis says that if the Pony Express
enterprise proves to be successful, a new and
shorter route will be adopted for next season,
and built up with stations, namely a route
directly west from the Missouri to Pixies
Peak, thence through the South Park, near
y straight course to Salt Lake City. 1t is
thought there will be emigration enough
from Utah to the Pixies Peak mines this sea
son by that route to open it completely. The
New York associated press offered $4,000
per annum for the exclusive use of this ex-
press Tor the conveyance of news of a public
character, but the offer was declined.

So far as we are concerned, we have MT

anxious that we should, owing to the fact,
probably, that we borrowed that amount q

hours behind the cars. including a stoppage
for six drinks at REEDS Grocery.
