WooD AND THE RED SKINs.-By amazing
energy and unaccountable perseverance the
Pi- Utes, supported by the Washoes, their cola
borers, have kept "poor white trash" in fuel for
several months past. They monopolize the
market. The Caucasian race, Of Anglo-Saxon
and Celtic and Sclavonic origin, couldnot COM
pete. None except swarthy, tawny aboriginees
will haul wood to town at such ruinous low prl-
ces as $50 per cord. John Chinaman and Mex
leans undertook it in the fall. 1t was failure.
While China and Mexico employed donkey
power, the Indians relied on squaw power and
carried the day. One small donkey is eqviva-
lent to three squaw team; yet the difference
in the price and quantity of feed gives advant-
age to the Indian, and he has improved it. The
only flush humans about town are red skins.
They are too shrewd to drink or go on,sprees,
because spreeing is too expensive. The most
temperate Indians in the United States are in
this valley. A good square meal, coupled with
a piece Of cast-of clothing, satifes every crav-
ing of appetite, pride and ambition. Happy
Pi-Utes! Happy Washoes! No artificial wants
to make them wretched. There is sufficient in
dustry in these native Americans to be turned
to profit, il well directed.-[Territorial Enter

Was JOHNSTON KILLED There seems to
be some doubt as TO whether the report that
Gen. A. S. Johnston was kiledin the late
great battle, iscorrect. A Mr.. Hepburn, Of
San Francisco has receiveda dispatch from
Louisville, dated the 18th, which reads as
follows: "Tell Eliza her husband is all
right" Johnston's family, 1t seems, reside
at Los Angeles, and the dispatch is sup
posed to have been intended to inform them
that be was not killed as reported. On the
other hand we have dispatches from Cairo
TO the T1th, which reafirm the report Of
Johnston's death. The dispatch 10 Hepburn
probably had reference to some other mat
ter.

BALE PEYToN.-A correspondent of the n.
Y Herald, writing from GallAtin, Tenn, says
that place is the residence Of the Hon. Bale
Peyton, late a member Of Congress from that
State, and father of Lieut. Bale Peyton, kill
ed at Mill Springs. The father is Union man
but, overpowered by the mob, has been silent.
This place is also the residence of Hon. Joseph
G. Guild, Judge Of the Confederate States SUI
preme Court for the District including Tennes-
see. The Judge was one of the first of the
Democrats who went over to the enemy. Balie
PeytOn was John. Bell man, and Old Line
Whig and UniOnist. 1t was to save his faith
er's property from cOnfscation that Lieut.. Pey-
ton reluctantly Joined the rebel army.

DESTRUCTION OF TRREs.-The Stockton
Republican continues to hear of the destruction
of peach trees by the water standing about
them during the food. Mr.. Whitmore, in that
neighborhood, has lost five acres Of peach trees.
Mr.. Salter, on the Tuolumne, on Dickinson's
ranch, has lost ten acres Of them. The slum is
so high about them that their trunks cannot be
seen. Apricot trees have Jared no better. The
splendid orchard of Mr.. Briggs, near Marysyille
valued at $4,000, has been abandoned. The
slum is from four to ten feet deep upon it. Mr..
Briggs intends to cultivate nuts this year at
some other point.

ONO TRoOPs.-The State of Ohio has fur.
nished upwards of 100000 volunteers for
the war, of whom forty.six regiments of in-
fantry, two Of cavalry, and twelve batteries
of artillery, are in active service. Some of
the Ohio regiments have fought as bravely
as the Illinois troops, but If accounts are
true, two of the Buckeye regiments at Pitts-
burg Landing fled without firing a gun.

DIssATIsFIED.-There is considerable dis
satisfaction among the more liberal Repub-
licans, with the late manifesto Of Governor
Stanford, in advising rigid adherence to
party organization. We hear some talk Of
organizing an independent party on the
basis of the Constitution, aud it is not i'm.
possible that such movement may be
inaugurated.

PoPULATION.-The arrivals in California,
by water, during the first quarter OF the
present year, were $3.50; departures, L.
266. The passenger statistics, therefore,
show an increase of population, in the three
months, of 1924. In this estimate, no ac-
count is made Of the large number who
have left this State for the northern mines,
the most of whom will of course return.

COMMUNICATION WITH THE HUMBOLDT
MINEs.-There is now, according to the Car
son City Age, regular communication by means
Of A. Fargo 4 Cos express, with the Hum
boldt river mines. Thus persons in this State,
by sending their letters to Virginia or Carson
City, thence by A. Fargo & Cos express, can
communicate weekly with their friends among
the isolated and dismal regions Of the Hum
bOldt mountains.

ATTEMPTED ESCAPE The prisoners in
Tuolumne county Jail, at Sonora, made an un-
successful attempt to effect general Jail de-
livery" last Monday. The plot, at the head OF
which was the notorious Hernandez, was to
surprise the keeper when he visited them, gag
him, and lock him up in one of the cells, and
then to make rush to escape. One of the
prisoners betrayed the contemplated movement
to the keeper, and the plot consequently failed
Hernandez was at once put in irons.

The motion to reconsider the vote passing the
bill prevailed.
Mr.. llun;on then moved to reconsider the vote
striking out the provision of the bill which allows
animals to run as large in the highway under
certain restrictions.
Mr.. Page, OF Wateryillc, favored the. mo-
ton Ia reconsider.
Nh Reed opposed the motion. lie believed
the eStion was, whether it was allowable for
one mans cattle to pasture upon another mans
lands. It had again and again been decided by
the courts that such was the rendering that should
be gwen to questions OF this description.
MIR Shaw could not agree with the gentleman
from Montpelier Reedl in an objection which be
de4med no more tnan technical 1T least. There
was really no foundation III the spirit Of law
understood rightly, against this provision.
Nh Fletcher of Cavendsh, thought the Office
tons to a measure intended for the benefit Of the
poor man, were not OF character that should
prevail. He hoped that gentlemen would kindly
remember the poor man.
The House reconsidered the vote by which the
provision WIS stricken out, by vote o! 10 TO Y t.;
and the question then came upon striking out or
reirscTtng it in the chapter.
Mr. Ilubbel doubted the propriety Of deega-
TIM to the se!ectmen, the right to lay out pas
lures.
Mr. James thought it clear that if the Legisla-
ture had the riIht to restrain animals they had
also the the right to allow them to run at large.
Mr.. Henry thought the question was simply
whether the law was founded on right. The ar
guments advanced in favor of it, were not such as
to show that this was sound Legislation but
rather tended to another point, viz: 20 show that
this was one way Of assisting the poor. That OBJ
iect he believed should be accomplished in an APP
propria!e way, as it was provided for by towns
and not by sacrificing The principles Of sound Leg
is!atve action in Their favor.
Mr.. Torrey CT Jamaica, thought that there were
times when it would be great hardship for the
poor to be deprived of the privilege contemplated
in that portion Of the bill under consideration
and he could not perceive the force of the objection
urged against it.
On the question of striking out the provision
the yeas aud nays were called on demand Of Mr.
| Dyer of Salisbury yeas &c, nays 1l3, and the
provision, having been reinserted, remaius in the
chapter, and said chapter was again and final!
