crushed 225 pounds in twenty minutes. This
apparatus consists Of a series of hammers, re-
volving within a cast iron cylinder three feet
in diameter. A stream of water is introduced
into this cylinder, which carries through wire
screens the pulverized quartz. One Of these

Nor So AMIABLE.-It is q common, but
erroneous expression, among people who have
not suffered from Indian hostii,ies, to say In.
dians never murder and rob except 10 retaliation
for ou,rages perpetrated upon them BY whites.
In many instances, this is true, but il is not
always the case. The Indian is the natural
enemy Of the white man. and, as fixed law
OF nature. must yield to the encroachment Of
civilization. Governor Btoss, writing from
Fort Kearny to the Chicago Tribune, under
date Of May oath, gives his opinion of the
proper mode of treatment for Indians on the
plains, as follows:
And here l may add that il the stations
burned last Summer could be seen by your
readers. and the horrid murders then commit.
ted, and again committed last week, could be
known throughout the country, all sickeniug
sympathy for these detestsble enemies of man
kind would cease forever. Most extensive
blood letting aud large determination are the
only effective remedies to apply to their chronic
and iendish wickedness.

SPEAKER CoLFAx, Bross, Lieut.. Governor
Of Illinois, and Richardson, correspondent Of
the New York Tribune, passed through this
place on the evening of Thurday last. They
remained but half an hour and took their de-
parture north. But few of our citizens had
an opportunity of seeing them. Cofax made
. short speech which made favorable i'm
preston OF bis abilities as a man and repub-
lican. Ofcourse the opposition can see nothing
to praise unless our distinguished men surround
themselves with airs of aristocracy and as.
sump,ious of dignity and superiority to the
rest OF mankind. In our Revolutionary war it
was standing subject of remark in the British
Parliament that the leading spirits of the Rev.
olution we're blacksmiths, cobblers, talors and
tinkers, which was in good part true, but Dev-
ertheless these men whipped the Lords ard
gentlemen who conducted the war against
them. The Express, of Friday. in the same
spirit cri,lcises our visitors " as little men,"
but it must know that small as they may seem
to them, just such have subjugated the noble
Lords and diguitaries of the South, over which
the Express weeps. What meanness shall we
next see developed in that leading Democratic
sheet.

Ts1cK OF TIE OLD ExKxI.-Frou the 6rst
to the winding up Of the rebellion the 80
called Democracy spared no means to resder
al the aid and comfort to the rebelIio0s slave
holders in their power, aod at times succeeded
in breaking the ranks Of the Onion party
the true friends Of the old Flag. When Grant
dealt the 6nal blow at Petersburg and crushed
ont the traitors, it was also trampling out Of
the 30 called Democracy. The political power
of the party was destroyed as efectually as the
Confederate army. The organization Of the
party throughout the entire country is in q
manner entirely broken up, and the leaders
disowning and abandoning it. At present it
appears the whole time and attention of these
3efunet enemies OF our country are now en-
ployed in attempting to divide the Union
party throughout the whole Government. In
several counties in this State they have par
TALLY succeeded with the pocket patriots of the
Union party, and nothing short Of firm and
decided stand of Union men from principle
will defeat and demoralize them. Let Union
men be on guard. In the several counties
where Independent tickets are in the field, the
move is beaded by Copperheads. The disap
pointed aspirants-,he smallest and softest
Union pocket patriots are selected as tbe best
subjecls-are taken up and run in opposition
to the regular Union nominations. In this
county the so called Democracy are pursuing q
similar course They have already visited
every Union candidate for nomination who
they imagined would likely be defeated in the
coming Convention, and promised him their
united support, providing an Independent ticket
be formed also are they busy urging Union
men to become candidates, telling them they
have :" claims " on the party, and they should
be respected. This is but an old trick of the
so-caled Democracy, cuuuiugly devised to de-
stroy the organization Of the Union party.
They have no hope of success at present, but
are seeking division to become recipients in
the future. In view of this, it behooves every
honest Union man TO stand true to the organi
zation, fight in line in the party and success
will crown our efforts.

ONO CoNvENTIoN-We are informed By
telegraph that the Ohio Union State Conven.
tion assembled OF Columbus on the 2lst day
Of June, and put in nomination for Governor,
General j. D. Cox, BY acclamation. He was
the late commander Of the 23d Corps fought
gallantly in the early battles in West Virginia
under Pops, in Maryland and in the West.
The soldiers as we'll as the Generals of Ohio
have become distinguished in their noble eff.
forts to suppress the rebellion and as great
majority of them have now returned home, We
may expect a larger vote for General Cox
than was given for their present Governor,
John Brough. who was elected BY over one
bundled thousand majority.

BoLrERs.-The disappointed office seekers
10 the several counties who have bolted the
regular nominations appear to be meeting with
poor success ip getting supporters for their
Independent tickets. But a few personal
friends in the Union party, Of the various can
didstes, admire them. 1t is very evident their
patriotism extends no deeper than their pock-
cts, and we'll do the mass of the people know
it. Who ever heard of boilers coming out Of

THE following editorial article appeared in
the Humboldt Times, and is copied and en-
dorsed BY the Petaluma Journal and Argus:
II seems that Hon. Warren 4. Sexton, of
Butte county, the distinguished lawyer, and
who is now the presiding Judge of the 18th
Judicial District, is the choice Of the Union
men Of this part of the State, for the seat on
the Supreme Bench, soon to become vacant
by the expiration of the term of Hon. s. W.
Sanderson. This has been manifested by un-
equivocal expressions of the papers in northern
California, as well as BY other respectable in-
dications of the public feeling, and we take it
that if Judge Sexton desires to be candidate
before the Union Convention for the place
named, that he can receive the entire vote Of
the northern part of California, and enough
from the middle and lower portions to render
bis nomination and consequent election easy
and certain. As lawyer, citizen and mag
istrate, Judge Sexton has no superior in this
State. and the Union party could do 20 better
than to give him the position.

INDIAN AFFAIRS. The President has di
rected w. p. Dole, Commissioner OF Indian
Affairs, to proceed to the Indian country TO
effect important treaties with hostile and
peaceabe Indians. In his Instructions 10 Dole,
the President says be deems the present fit
ting time for the renewal of efforts to urge upon
the Indians the pressing necessity for aban-
douing their wild and rowing habits and adopt
OF civilized life. There is no longer any re-
gion of territory left within the United States
where their rough habits and mode of life can
prevail as formerly. They are being pressed
and hemmed in on every side by the advancing
settlements of an aggressive enterprising peo-
pie. They must, therefore, adapt themselves
to the new order Of things, live in peace among
themselves aud with their white ueighbors. or
must inevitably perish. The policy of settling
them upon suitable reservations where they
may, with the aid aud friendship of the Gov
eminent, be able to subsist themselves. by
agriculture and other industrious pursuits is
left without alteration. Your experience in
treating with Indians and familiarity with
their character seems to point you out as the
proper officer of the Indian Department to
visit the various Indian tribes 10 the Terrific
ries, and enter into such treaties with them as
will best secure the permanent tranquility of
our borders aud promote their future welfare
and prosperity. The commanders of various
military districts have been instructed to CO.
operate with Commissioner Dole and render
him all the assistance be may require. Dole
has been unwell for several days, but is now
dschargiug The duties of bis Office He will
soon be able to leave for the West.

Before the paroling was concluded, however,
