LETTER FROM THE BATTLE
GROUND,

Our fellow townsman, George Swenson,
who has been for some time past operating
in the New Truckee District, sends US the
following letter from the scene of the late
Indian fight:
PYRAMID LAKE, March Is, 1865. 's
P. LYNCH, ESq.-Dear Sir Il arrived
here last night from the Truckee mines, in
order TO locate a mill site for our Com
pany' the Imperial. This place is about
fifteen miles from the mines, with an easy,
natural grade from the mines, so that a
road could be constructed very cheaply if
we should put up mill here, and our
mine looks so promising that think it is
very likely We will.
But, my object in writing to you, is
mainly to tell you about the big fight that
occurred here yesterday between the In
dams and Captain Wells Company D,
First Cavalry, who were sent down here
to punish the Indians for various depre-
dations committed here upon the settlers
and friendly Indians belonging to the
Reservation. The Indians, when the
SdpLdIIl QOmHt WIZ aOOul
Ave or six miles south of the Reservation,
and when he arrived in the evening of the
18th, he arrested all struggling Indians on
the Reservation, so as TO prevent any COM
manication with those intended to be at
tackled. The next morning, at the break
of day, he came down on them just as
they were packing up. The Indians fired
first, and shot an arrow through the Cap
tain's coat; and then the boys broke loose
on them, killing all but one or two. Only
one of the soldiers was hurt Corporal
Dolau, slightly wounded). The number
of Indians killed were twenty-nine. This
fight took place near Fort Defiance. or
abou, on the same ground where the fight
with Indians took pluce in 1860. Old
Winnemucca is very much pleased. and
he is calling in all the Indians to-day to
have Grand Talk with the Captain and
Indian Agent-when treaties are to be
made, and they will have big dinner, or
"pow-waw, etc.
The fight was most desperate. The In
dams were well armed. but were cut otfat
the commencement of the tight. from their
ammunition, which took fire during the
fight and blew up. The Captain says the
soldiers (mostly boys from Gold Hill and
Virginia) fought like devils, and had many
narrow escapes.
The Captain had bullet shot through
his coat. under his arm.
This. believe, is a summary Ut all OF
it, and you can make out what you can.
I send you this because one of the
Enterprise correspondents is here, and he
sends an account to that paper.
Yours, GEORGE SwENsoN.
P. ST. will be over in about eight or
ten days. This is considered a most adj
vantageous termination Of the trouble with
the Indians this time. They were thought
to be Smoke Creek Indians. G. 5.

PATENT OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES few weeks
since we published an article on the SUD-
lee, OF patent gunpowder. in which we re-
ferred 10 the extremely dangerous char,
ac,er of many OF the compounds onereo
for sale under this name. But we are
pleased TO learn that substance answer
ing all the requirements OF powder ioT
blasting. is made in tots State without the
use of saltpeIe, and is consequently
cheaper than any other powder at present
in use. and quite as free from danger IN
its use as ordinary gunpowder. AS this
new invention enables miners and quarry
men to manufacture this important article
for themselves, without any great outlay
for machinery and apparatus, and OF SUB.
stances readily available. we deem 1t OF
sufficient importance to call their attention
10 it, and recommend them to give it a fair
trial. II is the invention of celebrated
German chemist, DR.. Liebert, and is
highly recommended by many prominent
scientific and practical men in the Atlantic
States and Europe.-S. F. Flag.

The AUGUSTA GA POWDER MILLS
The importance OF the city of Augusta to
the Confederate cause may approximately
be estimated by the following facts: The
occupation of Augusta by our troops Is
an important step, as that city was the
source of the greater part Of the supplies
of munitions of wer for the rebels. Their
largest powder mills were located here,
having a capacity to turn out $500 pounds
in thirteen hours. These works were es-
,ablished in April, 1862. and since that
time over 2,OOO,O 900 pounds of powder
have been sent to Richmond alone.
The rebels had large stores of charcoal
sulphur and sal:petre at Augusta. The
powder magazines are built under ground,
and are, moreover, divided above ground
bv thick traverses. The roofs are of zinc
and very light, so that if one magazine
blows up it cannot set FIRE to its neigh,
bors. The rebels also manufactured
small arms at Augusta, and at the old U.
$, Arsenal small arm ammunition per-
cussion Caps, hand grenades, ETC., were
also made. Here, too, they had IN ord
nance factory and cannon foundry, where
they turned out Napoleon day.
made of Austrian metal-a composition
of copper. tin, wrought iron and zinc.
The capture of Augusta is another blow

THE Hartford Press says that when Mr..
Stanton was in Savannah, Gen. Sherman
invited to a conference twenty of the lead
ing men among the negroes, such as they
selected to represent them. They sent
their most intelligent men-thelr Gle
leaders and preachers. With this body
Sherman. in the presence of Stanton. en-
tered into a free conference regarding their
condition and wishes. They explained to
him their situation and desires. They told
him that their principal want was land
If they had the assured possession OF land
they would support themselves. They
were then asked whether they would pre-
fer TO live by themselves or with Wnlts
people. After consultation, they answer,
ed that. for the present, they would prefer
to be by themselves. The scheme wa;
therefore arranged in most of its details
exactly in accordance with the wishes o
the negroes, and with their practical sug
gestions.

The EXCITEMENT IN RIcHMoSD.-The
receipt of the intelligence that President
Lincoln wouldn't bite at the bait offered
bv the Peace Commissioners occasioned
great excitement. 1t was like the be-
ginning of new war, said the Examiner,
rs many persons remarked who visited the
Capitol, and walked through the streets,
hearing in every place serious and ener-
se,lc words of men who had now learned.
past dispute, the meaning OF the word
subiuga;ion.' If any man now talks OF
submission he should be hung to the near
est lamp-post,' was the expression fire.
quently expressed yesterday in the streets
Of Richmond. All day long at the Spots
wood House, the point Of congregation
for public men and army officers, and the
most interesting centre of life in Richmond
there are crowds engaged III the animated
discussion of Lincoln's proposition, and IN
the expression of opinions which could
leave no doubt of what was the spirit OF
the people and of the army in this new de-
velopment of Confederate affairs. Con-
gress would seem to take new life from
the events of the past few days, to judge
from the conversation of many of the mem
bers. several Of whom declared that this
BODY would now act with force and ex-
pedition which would astonish those who
had heretofore expected but little from it.

The quantity OF treasure that has gone
in that direction has considerably increas-
ed, particularly in silver, the production
of which has come now to be important,
amounting probably to 20 per cent. of the
receipts on this coast. Inasmuch as that
silver is by law legal tender only for IS,
it has more the character of merchandise
than gold, and should follow the course
of the markets directly. India has always
been the great absorber of silver. which
was derived in large amounts from China
up to the time that the influence OF the
California and Australia mines began TO
effect exchanges, so as by raising prices to
draw larger amounts of Chinese products
to Europe. At the same tin the Chinese
rebellion began to diminish the consump-
ton of imported goods in China, and thus
aid in making larger exports OF tea and
sllk-a cash business, to be paid for in
silver. This caused shipments OF silver
from England to China. The effect OF the
rebellion in the United States has been
marvellous in India. 1t has turned the
rice fields of Western India into cotton
plantations, the product of which has to
the extent of 800, 100000 per annum been
returned TO India in silver from Europe.
The effect of this in Bombay has been
nearly the same as that of legal tenders in
the United StateS-viz: an unexampled
rise in prices and wonderful speculation
in properly, while the diminished supply
of rice threatens famine TO the millions.
Such immense drains of silver bullion
from Europe, where gold is substituted
in circulation for it, are producing incon-
venience. At the same time the Pacific
slopes of the United States are almost
hourly developing their silver production.
This Silver has found its way across the
Isthmus for England, and thence taken
new departure for India and China, HIGH
for some reason has been found less ex-
pensive than to ship hence directly to Chi
ma. 1t is probably the case that this. like
all new business, has not yet found Its
proper channels.
The two points of shipment hitherto for
California silver are Honskong and
Shanghai. and these ports have absorbed
silver in the following proportions:
The silver exports to China have pro-
crossed us follows:

The Shanghai market is probably the
most favorable for silver shipments. The
bars purchased here at the stamped val
ue, with one per cent. premium added, Tor
sixty days bill on England at, say 493,
are refined at an average expense of a
per cent, say cents per ounce separating,
j cent tcug hening, cent bar making
charge, and per cent. coinage on the
gold contained in the bars they are then
shipped to Shanghai, where they are con
vprted into sterling exchange by being
converted into Shanghai taels, at the rate
of Ill per Canton tael. Thus: l,4SS.S4
ounces of 695 fine will give 1000 ounces
of 999.7@l. 900 fine; 1000 ounces 9s7
ine-S27,Sl Canton taels; 827.Sl Canton
taels, ut / prem 9lS.S7 Shanghai taels.
A six months bill on London, according
to the rate of exchange. may be purchased
at IS. Cd. per Shanghai tael; hence,
thousand ounces of pure silver in Shang.
hal will buy a bill for 1896 las. I'd, pay
able in London in six months. The time
required is about eight months, or six
months after the bill paid out here for the
silver falls due in London. The operation
apparently gives about fifty per cent. un-
less commissions are paid in Shanghai,
which are per cent. sale, and per cent.
purchase of bills.
The changes of business now going on
in India and China, where great results
must flow from the present dearth offood
and ripe speculations, which. having
sprung out of the existing war, are now
trembling in the balance as that war ap.
proaches an apparent close. The end OF
the war will bring not only terrible col
lapse at the East, but throughout India
and China.

Nor QUITE A CHRISTIAN BoY.-ln a
Sabbath School, the other day, lady
teacher was assiduously endeavoring to
instil into the minds of her pupils the SEN
timents and principles embodied in the
Christian religion. Said she: You must
love all your enemies, and pray for them,

the rebels:" quickly queried sharp boy
of six years. Yes" replied the teacher,
solemnly, "you must pray for them, too. 4"
