DoN'T LIKE HIS MAIL FACILITIES
Forbes, of the Humboldt Register, didn'
relish the proclamation for Thanksgiving,
and thus gives vent to his "pheelinks;"
Last week, anxious to bring the people to
recollection of their duty we anticipated the Gov
ernor,s concurrence to the Presidents motion for
a big SMELL of thankfulness on the 26th. Governor
Nye has done it. The proclamation came some
DAYS too late for publication. The day has pass
ed: but there are some things which may yet be
said. Things are working differently IN Washoe
from the way they are here. Inc governor
knows not of nor seems to care for, the anlctlons
put upon the people this side the desert 1t Is
well to be thankful, but James W. sets 1t too high
for the Humboldt region. God knows It, Nye
ought to know it. Better suspend Thanksgiving
along with the habeas corpus than to make dew
ilish burlesuue of it. The Governor would be in
better business to come out here, according to
promise, and see what's the matter, and write to
the Post Office Department, and have things
righted-than sit down in his big chair Ill Carson
and ask people TO thank God that everything Is
bully, and everybody glad of it. James W., it is
O continuation of the same 1t is the old thing.
The Creator of the heavens and the earth and
all that in them is didn't do anything in the way
of superficial beauties out this way, but left glo-
rious opportunities for the exercise OF art-and
among others, the art of good government we
have no mail, Governor, and are sorely grieved-
feel somewhat the disposition of the little boy
whose father was absent. Dinner was ready, and
the little shaver was told to say grace. He looked
over the layout and replied: well mol guess
can't don't like the looks of them taters"

REWARD FOR ROBBERS. 1t has been
urged, with much earnestness Of late, that Il
suitable reward should be offered for the
capture or killing of the highwaymen who
are swarming on the roads in this vicinity
There is no doubt that handsome purse
would be subscribed by our citizens were
there anything tangible to start upon. So
far as we have heard, none of the highway
men whose depredations we have been daily
recording for weeks past, have been recog-
nized, or any description given Of their per-
sons, to lead to a suspicion of their identity.
To offer reward for arrests, without speci-
fying whose arrest was desired or to be paid
for, would amount to nothing. 1t would not
do to allow the patrol to arrest every rough
looking customer they should happen to
meet on the road, bring him in, and make
him give an account of himself, trusting to
chance for his identification. We have not
yet heard of any single person upon whom
suspicion rests as being connected with these
brigands. If there be such, and there is any
probability of procuring evidence to substan-
tate their guilt, let them be named or de-
scribed, and liberal reward offered for their
arrest. But if there is no such probability,
we are at a loss to conceive Of anything being
thus accomplished.

THE Constitutional Conyention--or a portion
of it-met yesterday afternoon at o'clock
There was a"beggarly account Of empty boxes
only twenty-one members answering to the
roll call. 1t strikes Us that nothing save impe-
rious necessity should detain members from their
beats in the Convention. They should remem-
her that they owe, at present, paramount allie
glance" to the people who elected thenr and that
thep are under obligations to their constituents
to attend promptly and punctualy upon the de-
iberations of the body and bear share in franz
ng the Constitution. Nothing of importance was
transacted, and the cart begins to move heavily.
II is the opinion of some, however, that the Con
vention will finish its business this week.-Car-
son IRdspsRdsnt Of Tuesday.

on the Globe and Arhonia claims at Ameri-

What is the matter with the batteries at
Vicksburg2 It has generally been supposed
that thev were powerful and well served
that onl y by great good luck on the part Of the
enemy could they succeed in passing iron clad
gunboats by them but the tenor of the late
news from that point leads Us to infer either.
that they are not as strong as represented, or
else that they have been poorly served. That
one or two transports should pass by IN the
confusion incident to the attempt Of seven Or
eight gunboats to run the gauntlet, is not per-
hsos surprising, but it seems singular that out
of five transports and one gunboat which made
the last trial, only two should have been at all
disabled, and not one destroyed. At the pres
ent rate ofircrease Farraaut will soon have

Desperate Combat with Indians I'm

erly OF the New Orleans Pcay une, who now re
sides on his estate In Texas, writes to the Hous
ton Almanacof the murders being perpetrated
in G,llipse and neighborng Counties IN .tha.
State. Aulong those murdered was II. Anhel-
ger. who, while out hunting cattle with'a com :
psn1on, was surprised by the sasages. The let
ter says:
Anhelger. being mule, was compelled
to dismouut and take to q tree his companion
on a fast horse, made his escape into town.
We shall never learn the particulars of the
brave Anheget's fight, but we have the results
and they tell the story of a fearful conflict
The next morning party of rangers were con.
ducted TO the spot, ard on searching the tree
they found it stuck full of arrows, while pool
Of blood at the foot showed that the unfortunate
man had been desperately wounded. Follow.
ing the bloody track the distance Of some three
hundred yards, they found the body Of poor
AnheIger stiff and cold, lying with his stsce
downward, his right hand shattered and Grip
piee by arrows, and his1left elu,chng with on

have ever heard or read Of such conflict and
it would seem that the lone man in the end was
victorious. The trail of the sagsges was fol-
lowed until dark, but shower in the night un-
fortunately obliterated all traces Of it; yet, on
looking for it in the morning. they fell upon

GEN. HILL TO HIS COMMAND.
Gen. Hill has just issued the following con-
gratulat cry order:
HEA DaUARrERs. DEPARTMENT, N. c.,
Goidsborough, April a, 1868.
GENERAL ORDERS,
No. s.

The Department Commander returns his
heartfelt thanks to the troops under his COM
mand Tor their courage IN battle, patient end ur
ance on long fatigaing marches in the cold and
vet, for their vgal&uce on duty, ard uniform
good behavior eyeryw here. Unlike the rascaily
Yankees, you have protected private property,
ADD no deoredatIons have been committee ex
cept IN few instances by the 25th N. c. Regi.
ment. 1t is 10 be hoped that his brave Regi
ment will ea"e off this low Yankee practice and
will BEHAVE as well the march as it has al
ways done on the battle field
Some twenty cavalry men, under Lieut. Beard
behaved badly in presence Of the Yankees, and
the same is charged against Capt. Nichols
company OF cavalry. All ths rest OF the troops
behaved most handsomely.
Soldiersi with forces Inferior to the Yankees
You grove them 'nto their rat-hoies in Newbern
and Washington. You held the latter place in
close selge for sixteen days. With light field
guns, you whipped the four gun-boats in the
harbor at W Washington sabIiog two of them
and driving the poor poitroon, Reushaw, Z. S.
Navy, under shelter Of an Island Wi.h some
half dc zen field pieces, you kept back niue
gun-boats from coming to the relief of their at
ficted consoits. The relieving force of seven
thousand men, you whipped SO easily as TO think
the battle was but skrmsh, and were prepar
the foe bad slipped off in the darkness of the
night blockadng the road behind him, so that
q dog, or sneaking exempt could not crawl
through If you failed to accomplish greater
things, the fault not yours.
How auch better is it thus to deserve the
thanks of the country by your courage and pa
tlence, then to skulk at home as the cowardly
exempts DO. Some OF these poor dogs have
bred substitutes, as though money could pay
the service every man owes his country. 9th
ers cla'iu to own twenty negroes, and with JUS
tlce might claim to be masters OF an infinite
amount of cowardice. Others are stutfy squires,
bless their dignlfed souls Others are warIlke
mi'lcia officers, and their regiments cannot dis.
pense with such models of military skill and
yaior.
And such noble regiments they have t.
Thu field officers four staff officers, ten Cap
tains, thirty Lieutenanss and one private, with
misery in his bowels. Some are pill and
syringe gentleman, and have done their share
In killing at home. Some are kindly making
shoes tor the army, and generously give them
so the poor soldiers, only asking two months
pay. Sons are too sweet and delicate for any
thing but fancy duty the sight of blood is un-
pleasant, and the roar of cannon shocks their
sensibllities.
When our independence is won, the mos t
trh'ng soldier in the ranks, will be more re-
spected as he is how more, res pecLable, than an
army of these skulking exempts.
