LrrERARY.-About month since, ws
published an account Of the battle oil
White Stone Hills. on the Upper Mis-.
souri. signed and sent to rs BY Thomas
Marion, Of the Cd Nsbrasks Cavalry.
We have just received letter from one
james Cameron. at Falls City. Nebrss-
ks. who says the account was written BY
himself, and was his property: bat that
Marion obtained the document surrepti-
tiously. added the last paragraph, signed
his own name to it, and sent it to us for
publication. We arc inclined to Sredit
Mr.. Cameron's story. Is . comparison of
his letter with the written account of the
fight, shows that they we're psaned BY the
same person. The last paragraph. sllu-
ded to. is . tolersbls imitation of the
main body of the article, and in the orr
giusl was added as q postscript. but
was evidently written BY another and .
heavier hand. This is not . very credit.
able transaction on the part of Mr.. Mari
on. if the charge against him be true.
We carefully preserve the original Of ev.
cry communication and advertisement
inserted in this paper. for future refer
ence, and frequently find them of great
service; we would therefore prefer not
to comply With Mr.. Csmsron's request
to return to him the original of the com
munisatIon In question, unless it is pos
sesssd Of some peculiar value to him.

~ There are three papers published
at Topska-tbs Tribune, the Record. and
the Kansas Farmer. We imagine that
. subscriber to al three, would have to
belong to five churches. to keep him from
swearing at his good fortune. The
Farmer is printed in the Tribune Office !:
after which the matter is transferred to
the columns of the Tribune then the
Record borrows it. and sends it forth in
its columns. To reciprocats the favor.
the Record loans its matter to the Trib.
1ns. A. there il . material difference in
the width of the columns and the size Of

LAKE TAHoE.-Lake Tahoe, which
signifies "high water" justifies its name
by lying in thus far fathomless rift in
the very summit ridge Of the Sierras--
an astonishing body OF water, so crystal
clear that on still days its huge pavement
blocks Of granite send up their distinct
white CLEAN and sbow their perfect form
from depth Of seventy fathoms fed
by the tricklings Of the eternal enow
which crowns its roseate circlng peaks
and ridges, without outlets save to Pyra-
mid Lake, another self-contaned noun
toin sea, still larger, thirty miles long,
from FIVE to fifteen wide, and as before
said, thus far unlathomed ia its central
part by the longest plumb-lines. lmag-
inc this vast fluid jewell, emerald along
its shores and over its debths the inten-
sest sapphire which the baman eye ever
rested on, lying close under the limit Of
perpetual snow, at distance of several
thousand feet above the sea, and you
will get some idea of the peerless vision
which broke upon our eyes after half a
day's stage coach climb up the zig gag
wrinkle on the Sierra's PERCEPTIONS face,
known as "the road over the mountains"
from Carson Valley to the golden land
of California. The wretclied suffering
the thirst, the ruts, the jouncing, the
starvation fare, the heat, the arid thou
sand miles Of potash, the desert mirage,
the vile, sienchful sage bush, the uni
versal savagery Of man and nature, the
ho,>eyed, week-long sleeplessness-all
the diSGgreemenS and the toriures of the
overland journey, seem washed out of the
soul Gas an ecstatic plunge will presently
wash them out Of the body) by that first
heavenly glimpse of lustrous sapphire,
wind-whipped into spray, Of diamond
beads, which the eye catches from the
stage window bursting suddenly out of
the giant pines upon Lake Tahoe. The
change that was made by the simple act
of crossing the summit, the passage of
that usually mere artificial line, state
boundary from Nevada into California,
was like coming into heaven out Of pur-
gatory. If ] desired any body to get first
impressions Of California which would
make him adore her forever, should
bring him to the golden land from Car
son City.--N y EDeniag Post.
