"oLp ROSY

loving soldiers are certain to adopt.
Rosy" is far from being " old )" nor has
he that character Of bloom in his counte-
nance that would have brought him the
familiar soubriquetif his surname had not
itself begat the aowery red title. Just in
his prime, a thoroughly sensible and I'M
affected man, coming right down to plain,
home talk on the first introduction, he
strikes one most agreeably on sight and
greeting.
A more formal and o~stentatious well
come might have been given Rosy
from the citizens of our towns; but a
cordial reception and one more profound
ly honoring he could not have had. And
we intended, in yesterdays issue, to ex-
press our admiration and pride in the
action of the members of the Fire Depart
ment Of Virginia, on Thursday night. up
to a late hour it was supposed or hoped
that the city authorities would programme
a 6t reception. and duly tender the hos
FATALITIES of the corporation. 1t was not
until nearly eight o'clock that it was
learned that there was to be no Official
salutation ; and it was then, at once, de-
termined by the Chief and Assistants and
and Foremen, whom Tom Peasley got to-
gether, to extend the Fireman's welcome
and cheer. If we had not a direct assur-
ance from Rosy that he considered the
gallant laddies march, in testimony Of re-
spect and gratitude for his services, as q
most touching exhibition Of esteem, we
could venture to say that such were his
feelings. There are very few men in the
United States who could receive any
where this kind of e~xtemporized meeting,
Enthusiastic in recollection Of a glorious
past,-which prefaced or attended Rosy's
advent into our mountain metropolis. He
could not refrain from ordinations Of
surprise and delight at the fine body Of
young men who represented the Fire De-
partment on this occasion.
We have the pleasure Of announcing
that General Rosecrans thinks seriously
of making his home on the Pacific coast ;
perhaps in our State. The army, in time
of peace, affords a not altogether pleasing
service to a person Of his active DISPOSE
ton and hitherto active habits. He has
. taste for mining pursuits; is somewhat
familiar with the assayer's art. He will
make a stay Of several weeks in Austin,
Lander county, and in explorations and
sojournings thereabouts. We sincerely
hope and trust that Nevada may be the
place of Rosy's residence and adoption.
Let him date his army resignation from
the Silver State, and we do not know Of
any honors in the gift of this people which
he may not receive from the hands of
cheerful givers. (This is submitted to our
own readers; for such a suggestion can
not be an inducement to the patriot
hero, as it certainly never entered his
mind. But we believe it's true, never
theless, as the declared wish to-day and
willingness in the future of our folks.)
We had occasion to remark, a day or
two since, on the beneficial effect Of a
residence in our midst Of a score, or more,
of worthy veterans from the rank and file.
Rosy's established presence among Us
will draw hundreds and, very probably,
thousands to our borders-young men,
men Of the right stamp, Of native character
and of discipline for our life and special
duties. 1t will be remembered that this
General was among the Arst to discour-
age the Mexican Emigration scheme, cor
rectly telling that it would end in disas-
ter and produce no good results. He is
for npeace if possible;" and has continu-
ally given his counsel for the encourage
ment Of devotion on the part Of disbanded
volunteers TO home industries. He says,
now that there are thousands of young
" soldiers" in the East who have been
uprooted-so to speak-in their former
business, who could, and he believes,
should, be induced 10 come hither. And,
again, with him, as with all Of US, the
Railroad forthwith appears the great thing
needful for u quick and magnificent
prosperity. Here, too. is another power
full. personal advocate, from our doors, for
measures that will hurry the laying Of the
Iron Horses road across the Plains.
Should he remain with US, he would I'M
doubtedly be one of our Railroad Com
m~issioners. Even from a trip by him
through u borders, We expect an urging,
forcible and effective representation on
our railroad behalf.
We hurrah for " Rosy" because no has
been a true and wise patriot citizen, as
well as brave and able officer; nor has he
been in any n or degree "demoral-
ized;" though Copperhead did extend
the principal speech-greetins' to him in
San Francisco. His talk Of Thursday
night from the international balcony to
the escort Of firemen, all in homsly phrase
as it was, possessed the essential assertion
of our unity as q Nation and our abSo-
Lutte. perfect freedom as = people.
For CoSoREss.-We judge by the tone
of the Reese River RspeiA that it does not
favor the reelection Of Mr.. Worthington ;
but that it. has some other candidate.
Well. the RspsiHs has q right to express
its sentiments on the question. as we'll as
we have. We favor Colonel Summers
nomination and election, because We con.
slider him e~minently fitted for the place
irrespective of locality. The RsvnAx,
however, is attempting to make locality
