DR. A n Reed, Medical Director Of the

The Judicial Convention. held at Platte
vile on the 23d, was well attended and
nassed off with the best of feeling. With
one exception, every assembly district
was represented, and nearly all OF them
~ fuu delegations In most of the mass
meetinrs for selecting delegates, express
sions were taken upon the choice between
the candidates likely tn be brought before
the Convention, and the delegates acted
In accordance herewith.
The delegates from Lafayette County
were instructed 10 vote in convention for
Henry s. Magoon, Esq, Notwithstanding
that gentleman had publicly declined be
coming a candidate Mr.. Magoon was in
Platteviile at the time Of the conventions
aud from him we learned personally tnat
ne was not a candidate and did not desire
the nomination, and to correct misrepre-
sentations in regard to Mr.. MagOons po-
sition, we would here state that we have
the best of reasons for believing that he
would not have accepted the nomination,
if rendered him by the convention
The choice Of the convention fell upon
J T Mills, Esq, Of Lancaster, and we
have no doubt the people will ratify the
nomination at the ballot box in April
Mr.. Mills is Acknowledged by all to be
an honest man, a sound lawyer, and al able
jurist qualities which render him peeul-
iarlv fitted for the Bench. We believe Mr..
Mills will be the next Judg Of the 5th Ju-
dicial District, and that the people will
never regret the selection of his name by
the Convention as the candidate for their

SCANDAL.

The proverbial fountain head Of back-blt-
ing and Islander has been in all other coun-
tries than this, by common consent admitted
TO lie in tea drinking conclaveS OF misanthro-
pic women. Our residence in this Territory
has convinced US Of the error Of the theory
that scandalmonging is not matter Of sex.
There is probably smaller proportion of
women in the population OF Nevada Territory
than in any other civilized region on the
globe; vet we doubt whether there is to be
found another community on the face Of the
footstool of the Almighty, more accused
with a set of back-biting defamers. A news
paper started for the express purpose Of
black mail could do a business in this town
or Virginia that would lay the San Fran
cisco Varieties out colder than wedge. II
the publishers of the established press would
only De accommodating enough to publish
ibels gratis, and take the responsibility and
liability Of having their heads in perpetual
bandage, they could dispense with their edi-
torial and reportorial corps, and fill their Co.
lumns daily with communications of 4 SLAM
derous and Gbellous nature. The most nu-
merous and not the least annoying class Of
scandalmongers are those who are careful
not to put their SANDER in black and white,
and in shape and form that it can be readi-
" traced TO its author, and due satisfaction
taken out of his Ibellous hide. They pre-
fer sneaking style of inuendO, which start
ing as mere hint or surmise, speedily grows
into a grand general report Of horrible
"fact," actually demanding public notice
and contradiction. We are impelled to these
remarks, from having been twice called upon
during II week to publish refutacions Of
reports injurious to the character anu stand
ing of two of our fellow-citizens. \ good
strong example in the shape of a raw-hide or
a pick-handle, would have wholesome effect
upon the class of defamers to whom we have
alluded.

REPORT FROM THE INDIAN HUSTERS.-Par-
ties returned from Boise, via Jordan Greek, in
form US that the company which started from
here some weeks since found party of Bannocks
and had a skirmish-but failed to get them into i
general fight They put the light out for two
Bannocks and received no injury in return. Tho
only serious hurt to any of the party was the
natural result of getting raw soldiers into gen
eral fire: Frank Wheeler, Commissary, received
several buckshot in one arm, and is ambulancing
home for repairs. Another man was slightly shot.
Frank = wound is said 10 be by accident, but we
recollect that when we were Indian hunting we
had not eaten much sour bacon before our mind
was firmly made up to shoot the Commissary
the first opportunity that occurred during an
engagement. 1t is reported that ut the Upper
Humboldt our boys fell in with Il large party of
Government soldiers from Oregon. George w.
Rutherford, who came in Of the guard TO escort
the disabled members of the party, informs us
that the party continuing on the hunt were daily
nnding suddenly vacated camps of the Ban
nocks, and expected to have good fight soon.
They had provisions for about Is days longer
Had fallen in with no Government soldiers
Found the bodies Of the four men killed last
month, and buried them. The bodies had been
much mutilated, and pick driven into one. One
of the Indians killed in last weeks fight had a
shirt on with bullet hole in the breast CORES

THE NOMINATIONS.

The intelligence is flashed abroad through
all the land that the Baltimore Convention OF
the National Union Party have responded 10
the unmistakeable expression OF the choice
of the People Of the United States, and have
re-nominated ABRAHAM LINCOLN for
the Presidency. In their choice Of candi-
date for the Vice Presidency, we believe that
thew have done equally as well. Abraham
Lincoln and candy" JOHNSON are at this
day too well known to all the people to need
one word of eulogium. They have spoken to
the world BY acts, louder than mere words
could have done. their solemn determination
that "rHE FEDERAL UNION MUST AND
SHALL BE PRESERVED" In placing in their
hands the control of the Executive Depart
nlent Of the Government the people will be
trying no experiment. Their platform"
has been published TO the world these three
bloody years. It is the only platform upon
which patriots can stand with unanimity and
hope and confidence. Nevada is yet but a
Territory, and may have no voice in the
Presidential election, but all her hopes, her
heart, and her words of cheer, will be for the
success Of the nominees, whose names we
joyfuliy display at the head Of our columns.

RAILROAD ENGISEs.-There exists in this
country a race of men whose life is perfec. para
dox. They pass their existence in whirl of the
widest excitement and danger, which is, at the
same time TO them, but weariSome monotOny.
They have homes and wives and children, yet
they are ever wandering to and fro dashing along
by cities and villages, quiet country fields and
dark forests, as if they had no resting place.
Although seen daily BY thousands of their fell
low beings yet they are personally known to but
very few. Though holding responsibilities, the
very contemplation OF which is fearful, they are
scarcely thought of by those who place them
selves within their power Until the present
season of war there were none within this coun'
try who had the lives of others so utterly in
their power. Day by day, though they never
see or speak TO the procession in their wake, they
Vet have that procession in their power. With
the spirit of " Manfred" they can almost say
"Our hands contain the hearts of men, our
footsteps are their graves" The anomalous
beings are they who run " the railroad trains
the engineers, conductors and brakemen.-
They have been too long looked upon as the
roughest kind of humanity, have been the sub
jects of severe condemnation and reproach upon
the occurrence of every disaster; while their SKILL
bravery and presence of mind have scarcely ever
found chronicle. Yet if the records of their
noble deeds were all gathered and presented in
their true light, it would be found that those
rough weather-wOrn men are entitled to as high
a place and as lofty q fame as has been allotted TO
any other class who cope with disaster.-ScieRtlfc
