and munitions of war.
The Government has received a message
from the Governor of Tennessee in reply to
demand for quota of troops. He en-
phatically says be will NOT comply, but
would rather furnish $4,000 men against
the north.

boat that will insult the city by flying a Sc

other day. Such boats should go to a more

Iowa Banks.

The effect of the general sus,
pension of specie payments by the
Banks of neighboring States, is
to bring about a steady drain
upon the Banks Of Iowa, which
continue to redeem their paper in
specie at their counters. Turned
away from the counters Of Banks
outside of the State, the brokers
have abundant leisure to turn
their attention to those within
the State. A refusal on the part
of the branch of the State Bank,
to redeem its notes with specie, is
declared an act of finsolveny, and
the Bank is closed forthwith by
the State Board. 1t cannot but
be source of peculiar gratifca-
ton to the people Of Iowa. that
their own banks are able to con
tinue operations as usual, enjoy
ing the confidence Of all classes,
while so many have bowed before
the blast. The only source ofre-
gret is that owing to the demand
for specie, thoy are obliged to con
tract their issues and keep very
near the shore.-Des Moines Reg

This was strange proposal, made in
good faith, of wild and darA superst;r-
lon of olden times. For a moment the
tory, pale as ashes, was wrapped in
deep thought then in faint1ng voice
he signiied his consent. .
Raising her darh' eyes to heaven, tie
mother prayed to the Great Father t.,
direct the finger of her son. She close
the book She handed it to that boy
whose chech; redeemed with loathing as
he gazed upon his fathers murderer
He took the Bible, opened its holy pa.
ges at random, and placed his finger
upon verse. f....H" a..... ..~
There was a sssilencc. The continen.
tai soldier, who had sworn to avenge his
brothers death, stood with dilating eyes
aud parted lips The culprit kneeliny
upon the floor, with his face like disc j
ored clay, felt his heart leap to bis
throat. .H0.
Then in clear, bold voice the widow
read this line from the Old Testiment.
1t was short, yet terrible: . ....-.

LOOK! the brother springs forward to
plunge knife into the murderer's heart
but the tory, pinioned as he is clings
to the widows knees. He begs that
one more trial may be made by the lit
tie girl, that child of five years old, with
the golden hair and laughing eyes.
The widow consents. There is an
awful pause. With smile in her eve,
without knowing what she was doinr,
the little girl opens the Bible as it lay
on her mothers knee; she turned her
face away and placed her finger upon
line. ..- -.
The awful silence grows deeper. The
deep drawn breaths of the brother, and
broken grasp Of the murderer, alone
disturb the stiffness, the widow and
dark-halred boy were breathless. The
little girl, as she caught feeling fave
from those about her, stood breathless
her face turned aside, and her finger
resting on the lines of life and death.
At length gathering courage, the wild
'w bent her eye upon the page and
read. 1t was a line in the new Testa-
hent:
"Love yoar enemies.!' ..

The Union sentiment In Vvashoe.

A corresponding of the Union, writing
from Virginia City, May 3Otb, stated that
an organization was being formed there to
revolutonize the Territory, and pass it
over to the Southern CoDfederacy. The
writer gave the names Of number Of per-
sons alleged to be at the head of the con-
spracy, and detailed what by some might
be considered very feasible scheme for
carrying out their purpose. Among other
parties mentioned as being engaged in the
conspiracy, was Mr.. John L. Blackburn,
the Sheriff of Carson county, who, the
writer asserts, is an avowed disuniouist.
We received, yesterday. printed circular
from Mr.. Blackburn, in which he pronounces
the charge false, so far as he is concerned,
and asserts that it was made without any
authority on his part, or any Of bis friends.
In addition to this, we have received
note from Mr.. Lammon, now at Carson
City, who informs that be has conVersed
with Mr.. Blackburn on the subject, and re-
CARDS him as good Union man as there is
in Nevada Territory, or even in Nevada
county, which is saying considerable. He
further Informs u.s. that the article in the
Union, in connection with the raising Of a
Palmetto flag, at Virginia City, some days
ago. has caused much bad feeling in the
Territory but as the flag was taken down
by the parties hosting it. and the article in
the Union has been shown to be false, it is
believed that all will be quiet and peaceable
again.
The citizens of Nevada Territory are
nearly all Union men, and do not hesitate
on any and every occasion to express their
sentiments. There are, however, some
secession sympathisers, but their numbers
are so few that they are not regarded as at
all dangerous. and are powerlcss for evil,
even if they were disposed to create dis
turbance.

GRAssuoPPERs.-From our exchanges we
learn that the grassboppers are committing
great depredations in different parts of the
State The Visalia Delta says that they are
CO their way to that place as fast as legs,
wings, and an occasional fair wind can
carry them. They eat every green thing,
and are capable Of doing immense damage.
Ia the vicinity of King S river and Miller
ton they have nearly ruined the crops, and
one man declares that they have eaten all
his vegetables above ground, and COM
menoed digging bis potatoes.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-06-13

WAsHOE ITEMs.-We extract the follow
ing intelligence from the Virginia City EG-
lerDrise. of June 8th:
The Cole Company, on the Downs lead, have
struck their lead after running tunnel hye
hundred and twenty-five feet. The ledge is
perforated 333 feet below the surface of the
ground. It is supposed to be from 20 to 30 feet
in width excellent rock is obtained from it.
We learn that mining ground near Clear
creek, below Carson city, bas been recently To-
Gated by some fifteen companies. COL Henry
S. Fitch is said to have contracted with respon-
sible parties for the running of three large tun-
nels, one $500, one 1000, and one 200 feet in
length, which will prospect and open the mines
located thereat to depth of from 200 to 800
feet. These works are to be carried forward
night and day until completed.
Kempton Carnes and Pierson were injured
by the premature discharge of blast, near
Silver city, on Tuesday last. The left hand of
the former was considerably torn by the dis
charge, and the bones of the small finger badly
fractured. The eyes of both were somewhat,
but not seriously, injured
The progress of our city is truly wonderful.
The very judicious order made by our Board OF
Trustees, requiring property-holders to grade
their lots, has had tendency to infuse spirit
of confidence in those holding them.
On Thursday last, man named Spangle was
accidentally caught in a portion of the machin-
cry of the Spanish mill, and his arm broken in
two places and terribly smashed.
Alfred Heating shot himself through the calf
of the leg with a derringer, in drunken row, in
Shaw & Stedman's saloon, on Tuesday night
last. The wound is terrible one, but it is
thought he will recover.
We had light touch of snow-storm yes
terday morning, which had tendency to make
some of our new comers, who are not acquain-
ted with the delightful peculiarities Of our eli
mate, swear prodigiously.

THE FIRST BATTLE.-Army officers on
this coast are Of the opinion that the first
great battle between the Federal troops
and the secessionists will he fought at or
hear Richmond. 1t is probable that one or
more serious engagements may occur at
Harper's Ferry and Norfolk, during the
fore part of June, but no decisive battle is
likely to be fought before the middle of
July. The rebel troops in Virginia cannot
be concentrated in less time than six weeks,
and Gen. Scott is evidently not yet pre-
pared to offer battle to the main body of
the enemy.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-06-13

it stated that when the Federal troops reached
Alexandria, the Virginia troops fred at them
and fled This may be so, but that is no evil
dence that they win not fight. The Federal
troops may have oumumbered them, five to one;
and in that case it was right that they should
retreat and wait for reinforcementS. We ex-
pect to hear of outposts from the New York
Seventh and Sixty-ninth, from the Zouaves,
Rhode Islanders and Massachusetts, regiments
turned back upon the main body for support
not only once but many times before they reach
Richmond, but that will be no evidence Of cow
ardice; on the contrary, it will be evidence Of
military judgment and military wisdom. So
with the Virginians. They only exhibited their
wisdom. in netreating. ~ Bee.
