AFFAIRS ~ LOUISIANA. Political af-
j fairs are in state of active fermenta-

by the army agent sent recently to as

State, aud represent that all the meas.
ures adopted by Governor Wells for the
organization OF the different parishes
recently brought within his control have
been fully approved by the highest mil
itary authority in the department. The
other calls attention to the threatening
condition of affairs in the State; statea
that, through Governor Wells' appoint

passed almost entirely into the hands of
! the very men who were prominent in
| bringing about and supporting the re-
bellion, and that all the power of the

certain to accomplish their design. Tho
memorial closes: "In view of these cir

gard of constitutional provisions and
statute laws constantly manifested by
Governor Wells, we respectfully request
the immediate appointment Of Provis-
ional or Military Governor, with full
powers to bring about the reorganization
of the State, through the agency OF her

SroppAog OF THE TELEGRAPH LINE
Through the politeness of G.. w. Carleton,
ESQ.,, we CLEAN the following particulars
of the recent interruption Of the telegraph
line.
Some time ago O repair train Of ten
wagon left Laramie aud repaired the line
up to the South Pass. After the repair
was fully effected, the Indians pulled
down 1--WE miles of the line between Sweet
water and Platte Bridge, carried off four
miles Of wire, and burned nearly all the
poles. The repair train was Immediately
ordered back from the South Pass to
make all good; they started, taking with
them all the local soldiers from South
Pass, St. Mary's and Sweeswater, and
were shortly after followed by q regular
cavalry escort.
The train reached the break Wednesday
morning about 6 o'clock. At o'clock
Harry Creighton "came in circuit" six
miles this side Of Platte Bridge, and re-
ported to Salt Lake City, to keep a sharp
lookout, as he would have the line re-
paired in a few hours. 3ir. Creighton
stated that the Indians were then all round
him, watching at a distance Of a few miles,
and that he had only about n hundred
soldiers with him.
Since the receipt Of the above informa-
ton from Mr.. Creighton, the operators in
this city have discovered that the line has
been cut again. Mr. Carleton supposes
either that the Indians followed the repair
train to within sight Of the fort, and then
attacked them to draw out the soldiers
and bring on q big fight, as they did some
two months back, or, that they followed
the repair train, stripping the line as they
went, as before. 1t is cut again anyway.
The ease with which these Interruptions
can be effected by the Indians is scarcely
conceivable. One determined man can
keep the line continually down, as he can
destroy in a day or two that which will
take months to repair.-SaH Lake Teie-

MINING SCHOOLS.

While we are co~ngratulating ourselves
on the steadily increased influx of New
York Capital "a generic title for Eastern
investments in our mines-we should be
reminded that a large body of students
are being expressly prepared for business
immigration to the mining regions, and
permanent settlement in control of such
claims Us have been and may be pur-
chased by parties in the Atlantic States.
Columbia College, New York City, and
Yale College, New Haven, have attached
a thinning course" 10 their educational
system, and numerous independent "min-
ing academies" are springing up all over
the old country. At these institutions Of
special learning, geology, mincralogy, and
mine surveying are taught with practical
precision. In looking over the prospec-
,us Of several Of these mining academies,
we find that Prof. Silliman IS engaged for
a course Of lectures at all Of them ; q fact
Of very appreciablc importance and adj
vantage to Nevadans, rs Silliman has de-
clarcd his belief and conviction to be that
Nevada is the finest, most promising, pre-
cious ore region in the United States. The
fac. of this favorable and mature judg-
mcnt on this point, and the certainty that
" =
IA majority Of his illustrations will be
taken from the developments he observed
here, will contribute TO the resolution Of
the pupils to make this their destination
when they graduate. But the very fact
Of the ownership of a majority of Nevada
mines passing to the hands Of Eastern
men will insure their ultimate superin-
tendency to the book-lads from the mining
schools. The foremanships will doubtless
remain with the practical miners-the
men who have only graduated. so far as
mining knowledge is concerned. from the
shaft and tunnel. They can never be re-
placed by less literally schooled workers
on leads and around horses.

REvIvING BY Observation-Disclosures in
that thriving end of the State known as
Austin has been somewhat depressed late
ly, owing to the persistent downfall Of the
telegraph. The parties engaged in mill
erections, etc., for New York owners have
not been able to procure their usual tele-
graphed remittances, so as to enable them
to pursue their works. Now things are
raising again. Not less than $3,o00,000
of currency has been invested in Reese
ard Immediately round about. Purchases
of an extensive character are being made
in Esmeralda county, and no doubt there
will be a favorable reaction there soon;

proportion of brick houses 10 n white

READ TO Poor ADVANTAGE. - The
Reese River RereiRe says that that paper
is read more extensively in England than
any paper on this coast. Perhaps that ac-
counts for several Reese River wildcats
being Matched in London lately. The Re-
reiRe must certainly be a wild piece Of
saSc-brush reading. whcD the Londoners
suppose that Austin has q population Of
eigh. thousand, and that Reese River is
in Nevada, California" 4 few more
copies OF the RereiNe read in England
might possible sandwich the Reese River
country between Fraser and Thompson
rivers, in British Columbia.

PURCHASE OF THE SACRAMENTO VAL
LEY RAILROAD. The people of SacrR-
mento city nrc very jubilant over the pur-
chase of the Sacramento Valley Railroad
by the Central Pacific Company. Here
after, they say, no visions Of rival Free
port will in future haunt their dreams,
and too, will cease the oft recurring col
lision between the City Council and the
San Francisco Railroad managers. Itap-
pears to have been q strategical net OIL the
part of the Central Pacific, and secures to
that company q monopoly Of the business
for their transmontane road. AS they did
not purchase the Placeryille road, and as
that road has no connection with tide
water but by the Sacramento Valley Rail-
road, and no rolling stock Of its own, the
purchase must be n very damaging blow
to it. II, however, the Placerville Road
Company is really in earnest in its pre-
tentions to build O railroad over the noun
tains, the easy section Of twenty or twenty
five miles from the foothills to Freeport
will not prevent its construction, and then
not only will Freeport be still more formi-
dable rival to Sacramento, but the Placer
vile road would then possess advantages
over the Central Pacific that would make
it q very successful competitor. The peo-
pie Of Nevada would like, Of course, to
see two roads crossing the mountains, as
competition would secure cheap freights.
and however ruinous their rivalry would
DO to the companies, it would be all the
same to the people, as ones loss would
be the others gain. We have been assur-
cd by officers Of the Placervillc road that
with or without q subsidy from Govern
ment, they shall complete their road over
the Sierra and extend it directly to Austin.
How much was meant in tho assertion
can soon DO told by the course they pursue
in the present emergency.-Rsese R,rer
