Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1865-05-30

The Chicago Times, which has eulogiz-
ed Mr.: Lincoln since his death, and de.
nounced his assassin in set terms, thus
expressed itself in its issue Of July LIST,
1864:
He president Lineoln( could not be more
worthless dead than he is living, but would
be infinitely less mischievous, and his corpse,
repulsive as it would be in its freshest state
and richest and most graceful habilimentsr
would yet be the most appropriate sacrihce
which the insulted nation could offer in
atonement for its submission to his imbecility
and despotism.
The 6endish atrocity of the above chills
the blood. And now the same paper pre-
tends to weep over the grave of the muir
dered President, and denounces the act Of
assassination it has invited!

GuERR1LIAs IN CALIFORNIA. - Late
news from Southern California speaks Of
an organization pretending to be Confed-
crate guerrillas who are committing dep
relations upon settlements distant from
large towns. The large military force
stationed in that country feel themselves
as capable of consuming their rations at
Drum Barracks as if on the march. The
consumption Of Quartermaster and COM
missary stores seems to be the chief OBJ
ject of the California Volunteers, par
ticularly since under the command Of
General Mcdowell and General Wright.
The influence of such tame characters
has certainly been very bad upon all the
Junior officers under their command.
With chief officer Of spirit and laudable
military ambition, there would at this
date have been no guerrillas in California
nor Indian war in Nevada; neither would
we recount the daily murders of the en-
terprising miners Of Arizona. General
Mcdowell would rather have the Indians
arrested and tried by the courts, which
our good christian Governor has attempted
to have done in the case of the two lndi-
ans taken at Walker river. These SYM
pathy-deserving sons Of the sage-brush
have escaped, and are now with band
of the same sort, doing little killing-to
show their appreciation Of good treatment
down on Owens river. This thing of
trying Indians is fine dodge for SOL
dier, and as the author Of it, Mcdowell
ought to be presented with a wig and
gown, and dubbed 'Squire.-Reese River
RereiIs. -..E l...-s....-

IMPORTANCE OF PROTECTION TO
THE OVERLAND ROUTE.

The injury resulting to our State by
the present Indian troubles is much greater
than most people seem to understand.
Last season 10000 persons passed Fort
Bridger on their way hither, or for Mon
tana, or Idaho. A considerable proper
ton of this immigration was not of the
class particularly desirable-many coming
from the East as practically eIiled rebels
from regenerated Missouri, and fleeing
hither to escape the draft. This season,
no doubt, there will be at least double the
westward march noted in 1864. Proba-
bly million souls will pass the counting
post above named. How many are to
settle here. or even to reach our borders,
it will now be perceived, depends greatly
upon the condition of the State in respect
to safety of hsbitation as against the at
tacks of savages. Families will not, in
many instances, run even a shadow of
risk in this direction if there is not quick
punishment for the past aggressionS on
the part of the Indians in this State, and
line of military guards, not less than
one hundred miles apart, at the farthest,
stablished-vedette stations at every fifth
or sixth Overland relays. By the provis-
ion suggested for their protection, the fact
of our forces having subdued and chas-
tised dozen tribes of Indians during the
spring and early summer would not ope-
rate to retard immigration hither, but
might work to the contrary. The exist
ence of this guard would be authoritatively
started at Fort Bridger, and even to the
eastward. The just apprehension is, that
the Indians may have become 90 much
encouraged and so formidable in numbers
that it will take some time, with the pres
emit force at disposal, to procure entire
quiet, and one item Of "depredations
within the boundaries Of the State Is sure
to be heralded in magniied form. And
Il there is not sufficient force to bring i'm
mediate retribution and peace, of course
we cannot calculate on the yedette and
patrol protection to the immigrant route.
We should have an accession Of $4,000
persons to our population this year; we
shall have 1t least that numbered valuable
citizens added to our poll lists for '66-d
the Indians don't prevent.

BE wAGoS.-The big wagon, built at
Dayton BY Mr.. C. Carpenter, went through
town after its first load of quartz to-day.
The whole of the equipments, team, har-
ness and wagon, are superior to anything
of the kind that has before passed through
Gold Hill. The wagon is christened the
"Silver Star" When it went through
town this morning, it stopped and weigh
ed on the Union scales. Its weight was
found to be Just 6,27O pounds. Its ordi-
nary load will be. ten tons, but it is capa-
bic of carrying more. At present it is
used in hauling quartz from the Yellow
Jacket mine to the Carson river.

CAN TAKE CARE OF HMsELF.-In a
recent speech, Ex-Governor Wright, of
Indiana, said:
As to the cant about the negro's ability
to take care of himself, he had these facts
to relate, and he would do so without
comment: In 1862. the rebel Legislature
of South Carolina raised committee to
inquire into the expediency Of enslaying
the 5000 free negroes of Charleston. The
committee reported against it, and stated
that those 5000 free negroes paid into the
treasury of Charleston, annually, $25, 900,
and that their property amounted to
81, 100000. Out of that amount of pro-
perty, $500, 900 of it was composed of
slaves. That the 5000 free negroes of
New Orleans, in 1860, were worth as
much, per capita, as the white population
of Louisiana that these free negroes had
their own schools, their own benevolent
societies, etc. These facts, he contended,
proved that the free negro was capable OF
taking care of himself. He also stated
that lady who owned 500 negroes in
1860 told him that she had lost them all
but 200 by the beginning Of 1864. That
year she made a contract with them to
cultivate her farm on shares, and that last
year, under such system, where the
negro was working for himself as well as
for his mistress, the 200 made her more
money than 500 had done in slavery.
