THE uL-sREATMENr EVIL.

1t is common expression on our streets,
that in no section of country, do teamsters
impose, and beasts of burden receive such
abusive treatment, as in Nevada Territory.
We say it with feelings of pity for the poor
animal, compelled, oftentimes, to exert it.
self beyond all powers of endurance, and
with contempt on the worse than brute who
would inAict such treatment. Measures
should be adopted, and that at once, to touch
the pockets, if not the feelings of some Of the
teamsters. It is an every day sight to see a
mule beaten over the head with crowbar,
butt end of big whip, in fact, anything that
hands can lay hold of, till the monster, in
fictins the punishment" is entirely ex-
hausted, because his animal cannot do SIM
ply an impossibility. In other instances,
the air becomes nauseating from the string
of oaths emanating from such quarters. All
other civilized communities have laws and
ordinances prohibiting il-treatment of ami
mails, and inficting heavy fine for its vio-
lation.

THE ANNIVERSARY IN SAN Francisco
The Bulletin, of Tuesday, gives the following
brief sketch of the celebration of Washing
toms birthday at the Bay.
The proceedings at the parade ground yester-
day afternoon were conducted handsomely. The
sham battle which was expected TO come off,
however, did not take place, much to the regret
of the spectators. The infantry went through
eYoluTions and drill. In the practice Of loading
and firing they were especially excellent. During
the afternoon the trains from the city were crowd
ed with passengers until the hour of return from
the iield when the tide of travel turned towards
the city. AT this time the accommodations of
the railroad were taxed TO the utmost. Long
trains Of every kind of cars available We're cUIn-
pletely crammed To bring the visitors and mill
tary into town, the trains had TO run ont 10 the
ground repeatedly, and Il was half past six o'clock
before the last ear started for this city. At the
Depot, at the corner of Brannan and Fouth streets
hundreds of people stood waiting for hours to see
the military return, the arrival of each train be-
ing greeted with cheers As a whole the review
was success and excepting the unavoidable
seanty accommodation which the great number
OF visitors going by the ears caused every one
seemed well pleased, In the evening the military
wound up the days proceedings with q ball Mt
Union Hail. given by the First Regiment of Ar
tillery, which was well attended, and perform
anee at the Metropolitan Theatre. given for the
benefit Of the second Regiment OF Infantry, QrislD
which drew u crowded house. Throughout the
city the stores and places of business were gene.

flagstaff and nearly all the shipping in port dis
played IA wealth of flags. In the harbor the Rus
sian AdmiraPs Flag ship was handsomely decora-
ted with flags aud at noon fired grand salute in
honor OF tho day. Salutes were fired from the
revenue cutter Shubriek, and from the different
Notifications.

The Best SPEcIAEN.-The best specimen
of style exhibited in the general orders Of
our commanding generals may be found in
the cOngratulating and sympathetic order Of
Gen. Phil. Sheridan, to his glorious Second
Division of the Fourth Army Corps at Chat
tanooga, after his capture of Mission Ridge.
This order was but recently promulgated and
is as follows:
The General Commanding desires to express to
the officers and men Of his Division his sincere
thanks for their gallant conduct in the battle of
the 25th.
The stormng Of Mission Ridge, anil the manner
in which it was done. has not parallel in this
war, nor in history. The bold ridge. which, for
months past, has been occupied and illuminated
by the camp fires Of an insolent foe, has by your
sallaotry, become a towering monument of your
glory to future generations
In exulting over our splendid success, we must
not forget that il was attended with the loss in
killed and wounded Of l22 heroic officers, and
l,lT6 brave men.
Let US offer to the wounded and to the families
Of the gallant dead our heartfelt sympathes.
BY command of Major General SHERIDAN.

LATER from EurOne.

New YORK, Feb. 2l.-The City of Wash
ington brings news one day later.
Russell and Palmerston both made cxpla-
nations relative to the Danish question, deny
ing the right of Austria and Russia to abro-
gate the treaty OF 80.
Both Houses of the ReichSroth had adopted
resolution exhorting the people to maintain
tranquility and order, and pledging itself to
energetic efforts. An address to the King
was voted.
The Austrian headquarters, on the 9th,
were at Brarup. The Prussians were at
Fleusburg. The Germans had decided to
seize Kimerwick. 1t was rumored that the
Prussians had attacked the Danes at Duppel
and lost 500 men. The Danes, in great num-
bers, had arrived at Olzen. Duke Frederick
was proclaimed at Fleusburg.
1t was reported that Denmark proposed 4
European Congress relative to Schleswig.
The Times says the Danes have lost every
thing in Schleswig except honor. The Post
says their situation is an informal Suspen-
sion OF hostilities, and the time has arrived
for the basis of an arrangement to be dis
cussed. The Herald contends that if Austria
and Prussia repudiate the treaty of London,
a general war can hardly be avoided. The
other continental news is unimportant.
LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE Florida left Brest
February 9Th. 1t was supposed the Kear-
saege would pursue. The Danish Reichar-
iath voted an address to the army, declaring
in favor of a rigorous prosecution Of the war.
Marshal Wrangel has issued proclamation
declaring the authority Of Denmark sus-
pended in Sehleswig. The Vienna Baths
ford says Denmark, by its anterior conduct
and armed resistance has abolished all trea-
ties. The treaty of Loudon no longer exists,
Austria and Prussia are masters of the policy
to be pursued towards Denmark.

NO EFFICACY IN CANCELLATION.

How vain was,the desire for peace, at the
commencement Of rebellion, through concili-
atory measures and how strange, that men
can be found at the present time hugging the
same fatal delusion, after the reported deelar-
atoms from rebel leaders to never again re-
sumo their place among the States OF the
Union. The Crittenden Compromise, through
which our Copperhead friends radiate with
agonizing tears. was a delusion and cheat
in reality, which would have put its fostering
care over the wrong which sllyery intiiets,
was rejected by Southern Senators, ana
spurned as asmeans to pacify their iil-con-
jured hate. Even as late as 1862, after
months of painful strife, Generals in the
field and councillors Of the nation urged con
ciliatory means as being the best calculated
to end war and restore tranquility to the
country. Mcclellan, who committed as
many plumbers, and got as little credit for it,
rs any General in the service, in letter to
the President, dated July eth, 1862, said that
a declaration Of radical views upon sla-
very will disintegrate our present armies and
render hopeless the effort TO obtain other
soldiers" This was written when Democrats
did all the fighting. The darkest hour of
the Republic, when Copperheads grew inso-
lent and spoke deiantly in opposition to the
Constitution and laws Of the land, was at
this time, when eoucihatory measures were
being tried to effect a reunion Of the States
1t was at this period Of our history that Off
GERS made use Of expressions that armies
must be kept in idleness, in order
to exhaust each other, and restore the
Union through peaceful means. Such seI,ti-
ments have proved abortive. Radical, vigor'
GUS measures only can preserve the Union.
What advances have our armies made
since the decree of freedom to the black has
been proclaimed, and the germ Of rebellion
crushed! Instead of Union officers being
compelled TO return negroes, to enforce sort
of fugitive slave law, in the army that class
of humanity are enlisted TO fight and perform
other fatigue duty, and save many of the
hardy sons of the North to provide in a more
effective way for the destruction of rebellion.
the best answer that can be given to those
who are determined to oppose all measures
of the Administration, is in the gratifying
results the last years fighting has brought
US, presaging the inevitable ruin that awaits
the Confederacy. The radical measures of
the President are Endorsed BY the people, or
rather the radical views of the people are
promulgated by our Chief Magistrate. We
cannot but repeat what John Adams wrote in
l775, in referring to the opinion that concili-
atory measures were best to settle the diff
Guilty with the mother country: "In my
opinion, powder and artillery are the most
eficacious, sure, and infallible conciliatory
measures we can adopt"

WHAT SHE WASTED.-A good story is
told of young woman who had recently
been converted at camp meeting. The
minister had told her that If she had faith
the Lord would give her whatever she would
ask in prayer. Believing implicitly in his
words, she one evening retired to grove and
feryently prayed the Lord to give her a man.
1t so happened that an old owl sat up in one
of the trees, and being disturbed, gave out a
hoo-o-o! She thought the Lord had heard
her, prayer and only wished to know her
choice. She was overjoyed, and with the
greatest thankfulness of spirit answered
back, Anybody, Lord, if it's only a man.
