SouArTER TROUBLES IN WAsHoE.-

Sor.rrER TROUBLES IN WAsHoE-The
Virginia Union gives the following account OF
a murder committed last week at Steamboat
Springs, n. T., growing out of squatter
difficulties:
A young Frenchman, named Eugene Aine,
was shot on Sunday night at Steamboat
Springs, The following statement of the
transaction is made by an eyewitness -
Eugene Aine, aged nineteen years, was,
with his father, engaged as n carpenter,
working by the day, to construct certain
house near the Springs. ".he father was in.
side the cabin, and the unfortunate young
man outside, mailing board above the door,
and for that purpose he was standing ON a
short stool about two feet in height, when a
party of fifteen or twenty men came, armed,
and asked him What he was doing there p
He answered, in broken English, that he was
engaged by the day as carpenter to con-
struct the house he was working on One of
the party told him to stop. He said he had
a few more nails to put in and then he would
leave the job for the night Without another
word, or any provocation whatever. one of
the party shot him, not in the back as has
been stated, but in the side At the time. he
was driving nail, and turned round to see
who it was when another shot came from the
same party. which took effect in his head
lie fell dying in the arms of his father, who
came out of the house to see what was the
matter. 1t was half past six r. NJ. when it
happened, and the young man died at two
O'Clock the same night. The shooting party
was but a few feet from the young man when
the shot was fired. Two other Frenchmep
who were close by. came to the rescue of fa
ther and son. Some fifteen or twenty shots
were fred at them and strange to saw none
took effect. They had to run for their lives
not being armed. Then the shooting party
| set fire to the house and reduced it to ashes
and went away"

EAalr P.u,1rv.s.ss :, FK..,..-The i

EARLr FRuITFuLSxss IN FKxALEs.-The
astonishing revelation of the age of Rosa
Bingham. at the inquest on Monday night,
was the subject of very general remark yes
terday. 1t was considered out ofthe natural
order OF things that child aged twelve wears,
nine months and three days could become a
mother. But the books are full of instances
equally and still more astonishing. In DR..
Guy g Medical Jurisprudence, we find cases
of premature fruitfulness related by high au-
thorities. DR.. Montgomery. for instance, de-
livered a female of twins before her fifteenth
year; La Motto and Sir f. Hunter instances
Of pregnancy in the thirteenth: the last NAM
ed author one in the twelfth year; and Bruce
in Abyssinia, and Dunlap in Bengal, met
with mothers of eleven years The limit in
this country is set at twelve years. and preg-
nancy at an earlier period is looked on by
medical jurists as highly improbable But
to show how fallacious the establishment of
rules in matters of this kind may be. we will
cite the example singular though it seem)
of lady who was seen at Ballston Springs,
about the year 1928, only twenty eight years
of age, and yet grandmother. The Tran
sylvania Journal (vol. VIII, p. 447) records
perhaps the most astonishing case in authen-
tic history-certainly the most astonish
ing one yet known to the Faculty.
either by tradition or verified annals 1t is a
case of mestruation at one year and pregnan-
cy at ninel The girl was delivered. on the
10th of April. 1884, of female child, weigh
ing seven and three-quarters pounds, while
the mother was aged only ten years and thir-
teen days. Here are instances that put to
the blush, on the score of early fruitfulness,
the case which has been the theme of conver-
sation in this city for several days past-S.

SATURDAY MORNING. APRIL %. 1861.

CoNGREssroSAL DIsTRIcTs--By law pass
ed last winter, this State was divided into
three Congressional districts. Our d'ssf'c''
the Third, is composed of the following coun-
ties: Marin, Sonoma, Napa, Lake, Solano,
Yolo, Sutter, Butte. Plumas, Tehama, Iolu'
"a. Mendocino, Humboldt, Trinity, Shasta,
Siskiyou. Klamath, Del Norte and Alturas
This important measure was passed for the
purpose of giving the people within the sew
eral distr cts power to select such Represent
atiyes to Congress as should be directly iden-
tilted with their interests. We hope to see
the Union party in the several districts
through their County Central Committees,
take early action for the purpose of holding
District Conventions to nominate one Repre-
sentative from each district We cannot see
what the next State Convection has to do
with those District Conventions, and we trust
they will be separate and held without refer
ence to the State Convention. We should
regret to see this matter still left to the man
ipulation of the State Convention, and if per-
mitted will ignore the very object of the law
creating districts. and the people will still be
compelled to accept such candidates as may
be placed before them by sch ming politicians
the entire State.

Superintendent who shall draw any warrant

CLEER CREEK CoPPER--We have been
shown some fine specimens of copper rock,
taken from the " Bon Tom and ''Nomucket"
claims, on Clear Creek, near Jollie & Co. IS
quartz mill. 1t shows yellow sulphurets,
and when tested with borax at a blacksmith IS
forge, shows metallic copper. About forty
six claims have been located, and the owners
have made up purse and set men to work
prospecting the lode. The lode is about eight
feet wide. Specimens have been sent to San
Francisco to havea thorough assay made, and
as soon as the result is known. we will give
it to the public.

SOUTHERN CHIvALRY.-The late massacre
of Fort Pillow is fair specimen Of the bas-
tard chiyalry which has grown up in the
South under the inhuman influence of slave
ry. The young bloods of the slave planta-
tions, who have been raised to manhood with
out any visible means of support except that
derived from the labor of their slaves, seeing
their cherished institution passing away. by
their own hellish acts, and finding that the
labor of the negro cannot longer be controll'
ed by them,-these braggarts, who claim to
be the chivalry of America, are .eizing every
opportunity to wreak their vengeance upon
unarmed blacks and their white officers
whenever the fortunes of war throw any Of
their number into rebel hands. History may
never recount the number of these victims
who have been murdered in cold blood after
having surrendered their arms but there is
probability of obtaining positive proof Of
the massacre at Fort Pillow We have the
promise from the President that if the fact is
authoritatively established that these iends
perpetrated the outrages reported, our army
will be required to retaliate; but we fear no
General in the Federal army can be found
who possesses the nerve to carry out SO dark
chapter in civilized warfare as that Of
slaughtering defenseless prisoners. Yet it
must be done. however cruel it may appear,
as the rebels have by this act virtually raised
the black flag, and in justice our armies must
fight under the same symbol Of death until
these desperadoes see the folly of their worse
than Sepoy acts.

HoMIcIDE.-On Tuesday last a man named
Edwards came to town and delivered himself
up to the Sheriff, stating that he had killed a
man named Fisher. near Churntown, in self

where he still remains, as no complaint has
been made against him, and no authentic
account has been made of the transaction to
the District Attorney, so that an investiga-
ton of the facts could be had.
