HANDSOME PRESENT TO NEVADA "JEHU -
Everybody who has had much experience in stage
travel on this coast has heard of Hank Monk, a
driver who gained additional notoriety from
Horace Greeley's report of trip across the Ne
vadas with him when he visited this State. The
other night, at Carson City some friends, as
testimonial Of their appreciation of his skill and
carefulness as a Whip" presented him with
an elegant gold watch, buckle and chain valued
at $500. On the inside of the case is inscribed
the famous reply of Hank to Horace on the oc-
casion Of the trip referred to- " Keep your seat,
Mr.. Greeley, I'll have you there in time" To
properly understand " where the laugh comes
in " it may be well enough to relate the Incl
dent; On leaving Carson City, Mr.. Greeley re-
quested, if possible to be set down in Placer
vile at SIP. M, having engagement at that
hour. The allotted time was hardly sufficient to
accomplish this, but the agent nevertheless in
structed Hank to deposit Mr.. Greely in Placer
vile at 6 clock, and Hank said he ID do it if he
killed every horse on the route. The old drab
coat and its wearer were carefully slowed on
the box," and all went well until they COM
menced descending the mountains. Then Hank
applied the whip vigorously, the horses fairly
flew, and the stage swept round the short turns
in the road at a rate that seemed frghtful to the
man OF the Tribune, who endeavored by profuse
praise Of the driver to attact his attention,
hoping that in this manner the speed might be
slackened. But all to no avail, when finally the
affrighted passengerremarked Not q-u-i-t-e so
fast Mr.. Monk | don't care to reach Placer
Vile at g." to which the reply came" Keep
your seat, Mr.. Greeley, I'll have you there in
time, and to subsequent similar appeals by Mr..
Greeley, Monk would rcply-"Ny orders are to
be at Placerville at 6, and they must be obeyed."
Arriving at a station Mr.. Greeley improved the
opportunity of taking inside seat while the
team being changed Away they went
again, but Mr.. Greeley knocked from right to
left, soon grew to feel that seat ON the inside
was even worse than on the Z" box" He, reach
ing his head from the coach, again appealed to
the driver with "not q-u-i-t-e fast" when
away went his hat. % Hold on, Mr.. Monk, I've
lost my hat" peaed forth from the inside, and
back echoed the sharp reply" d-n your hat,
Mr.. Greeley keep your head inside" Mr.. Gree
ley was landed at Placerville at 6 o'clock, and
he always protested that Hank Monk a most
skillful driver

Christmas. s.

To-day is Christmas, and our sincere hope is
that every reader of the JOURNAL may enjoy it
right merrily. In memory we are carried back
to distant homes where childhood's happy days
were passed. and reminded that in them to-day
many silent prayers have gone up, many kind
thoughts been given, and many kind wishes
murmured in behalf of absent ones. How the
dear ones there will reckon back in years, and
weeks and days to the hour when the last good
bye was spoken, the last pressure of the hand
given, and the silent tear dropped for him who
had determined to brave the perils of sea and
land to seek fortune in distant cline.
Before the next issue of the JOURNAL another
wear will be botted from the Book of Time, and
from its mouldering ashes another will have
arisen to run its appointed race. Does not every
one who reads this silently hope that before an
other Christmas day shall have rolled round gen.
tie Peace may reign throughout the length and
breadth of this glorious Union of States2 that
cruel relentless war, with its accompanying
train of woe, and want, and desolation, shall
have ceased within our border? More than any
others should the people of glorious, happy,
peaceful California so hope.
We know of nothing more appropriate for this
occasion than little extract from Mr. Ollipod's
Christmas revere, which every reader of the
JOURNAL of seven years ago this day will readi-
iv recognize: q" Christmas, holy Christmas,
returning each year, commentaries the natal
day of the Emanuel. a little more than eighteen
centuries ago. STOPPING from the heavens and
from the right hand of the Creator of the Uni
verse, the Son of God deigned to assume the
form and likeness of apostate man. The polty
of redemption demanded a martyr Jesus. JOY
then on earth for there is hope for fallen man.
Let old age unwrinkle it's front, and uvenaity
become iocund on each Christmas day. Let
fearful eyes brighten, and sombrc hearts leap
tumultuously, and sorrowful lips move in joyful
accents. Let childhood be happy on each re-
turning natal day of our Savior who loved little
children so much but let the aged mingle solemn
"reminiscences with their joy. Christmas is for
the pure in heart
Weekly Trinity journal., 1863-12-26

war led him too long to tread the path of hope
less compromise in the fond endeavor to concil-
late those who were predetermined not to be
conciated" He is of the opinion that the
leaders of the rebellion whose lust of power has
brought this desolating war cannot ever be
admitted to the confidence of the loyal people of
America that they may skulk in security or fly
to the protection of European Governments,
where some of them are already groveling at the
feet of foreign despots, andbegging for assistance
to compass the ruin of their country.
In his touching and sublime peroration the
orator says: God bless the Union it is dearer
to us for the blood of those brave men shed in
its defense. The spots which they stood and
fell, these pleasant nights, the fetile plain be-
meath them, the fields beyond where the noble
Reynolds held the advancing foe at bay, and
where he gave up his own life, the little streams
which wind round the hills the Seminary ridge,
the peach orchard, Cemetery, Culp, and Wolf
Hill, Round Top, little Round Top, humble
names, henceforward dear and famous, no lapse
of time, no distance of space shall cause you to
be forgotten"
Who can read such noble sentiments, or hear
them fall from the lips of Americas S most finished
scholar and orator, and still sympathize with the
traitors to our beloved country?

TUE MCGEE MURDER.--The Coroner's Jury
summoned to hold an inquest over the body of
1oe McGee at Carson City, whose murder was
mentioned in our last, returned verdict on the
18th inst. that deceased was native OF Ken
tucly about 40 years old, and that his death was
caused by gunshot wounds inflicted at the hands
of some nerson unknown. A singular coinci-
dent connected with his death is that he was
shot. precisely to the hour, on the anniversary
of his killing Jack Williams, and it is surmised
that his life was taken by an avenging friend OF
that person. Still the evidence goes to show
that McGee, on the night of his arrival in Carson
from Virginia City, used serious threats in re-
gard to some person he was evidently in pursuit
of. Another theoryis overtures had been made
to McGee to enter the employ of the Real Del
Monte Mining Company, at Aurora, now involved
in a lawsuit with the Pond Company, and be-
tween which Companies bitter fued exists, and
that the former Company found it cheaper to
purchase McGee's death than his services. A
witness named Rcddy swore that Judge Hardy
had applied to McGee to take charge of the Del
Monte mine, to which he replied that he would
for money enough, and the night of McGee's
death was the time set for closing the bargain.-
a gun found in alley near by after McGee was
shot was produced and pronounced in the opin-
ion of some of the witnesses to be one of a
dozen double-barrelled guns sent by the Del
Monte Company from San Francisco for the pro-
lection of their interests. McGee was a brave
man his murder but adds another chapter to
the bloody history of Nevada.

TIE Marysville Express declares itself in favor
Of offering the rebels terms of peace. As the
rebel organs (congeners of the E1press) have
stated terms upon which they will accept peace,
we will copy them for the special benefit of this
sympathizing editor. They are from the Rich
mond Examiner, and as follows:
Our terms are Recognition by the enemy, of
the independence of the Confederate States.
Withdrawal Of the Yankee forces from every
foot of Confederate ground, including Kentucky
and Missouri.
Withdrawal of the Yankee soldiers from Ma
Hland, until that State shall decide by free
vote whether she will remain in the old Union or
ask admission into the Confederacy.
Consent ON the part of the Federal Govern
ment to give up to the Confederacy its proper
ton of the Navy as it stood at the time of seces-
sion, or to pay for the same.
Yielding up of all pretentions the part of
tne F. reoeral Government to that portion of the
Ola territories which lies west of the Confeder-
ate States.
An equitable settlcment on the basis of our
absolute independence and equal rights of all
accounts of the public debt and public lands.
and the advantages accrung from FOREIGN treat
les
Save on our own terms we can accept no peace
whatever, and must fight till doomsday rather
than yield an iota Of them.
And in case these terms are not acceptable
the Examiner says;
Cncc more we say il is all or nothing. This
Contederacy or the Yankee nation, one or the
other, goes down, down to perdition. That is to
say, one or the other must forfeit its national
existence and lie at the mercy of its mortal enc
my.
The conditions above laid down are we sup
pose, similar to those which would have been
suggested by Fernando Wood, had not the mo-
tion he made in Congress few days ago to send
a Commissioner to Richmond to sue for peace
been voted down.

THE COMMON School SYsTEM.-Had the system
of common school education that prevails in our
Northern States found an early entrance and
been nourshed into life in those States that are
now at war with the Union, the civilization of
the ninteenth century would never have been
shocked by rebellion that now disgraces its an
nails. At the North the principle of education is
the governing law that binds into a solid pha-
lanx that proud array of free communities. At
the South ignorance rears on every side its hid
front, until the masses stepped in the
degradation that has for years been preparing by
their unprincipled leaders. The North is united
in battling for principle which education has
taught them to be the very life of their insttu-
tions. The South will become assmilated to the
intelligence and loyalty of the Union soon as
the result of our victories shall have dispersed
the cloud of ignorance that has, with them,
overshadowed the causes and consequences Of
the unnatural contest.
Let us then, as Californians take these les
sons to ourselves, and, rather than allow our
schools to lauguish, take every legitimate means
to elevate their standard and insure their sue
cess.-Ertract from GOU. Stdnfords last Message
