THE EVENING NEWS.

FROM THE INDIAN WAR.-A letter, II
ceived yesterday, from Capt. Warner by
friend in Virginia. dated at Camp No. 9!
gives the following additional interestin
particulars relative to the further progress
Of the pursuit Of the Indian marauder
and murderers. After leaving Camp Nc
l6, the several companies secured tn
country. north and east Of the Humboldt
river, for a lonS distance, and through on
OF the toughest countries white men eve
travelled, driving the Indians from placr
10 place, bit hardly obtaining sight o
them for several days. This kind of war
fare being found proftless, the troops
were separated into two divisions. Tit
one to which Capt. Warner was assigned
comprised about one hundred men, who
made a detour northward, and in travers,
ing the mountains, about one hundred
and Fifty miles northeast Of Star City, lost
their entire baggage and commissary train,
the mules tagging in the rear and being
run off by prowling redskins, thus leav-
ing the command destitute of provisions
and in an unparalleled desert region.
About forty-eight hours afterwards, how
ever, the advance scout discovered the
Indians, to the number Of one hundred
and fifty, congregated in q valley, and
with them the lost baggage, mules, sc.
They were evidently intent on making a
distribution OF the spoils. The force was
deployed in two sections, and a simultane-
Gus charge made upon the ~rascals, which
resulted in the capture of the entire stores
and animals and forty of the Indians-the
balance beating a hasty retreat pursued
by several squads of the soldiers. The
. captured Indians will doubtless be pun
ished, and if the chief is captured, which
is probable. it will, undoubtedly, bring
the matter TO a peaceful termination.
OPERA MELoDBoN.-The pre-eminently
successful engagement Of the Worrell Sis
tcrs terminated last evening. During
their stay the three stars have won warm
friends and showers of applause from all
our play-goerS, and an announcement of
their return 10 Nevada will auger q full
house at any time. Wherever they go we
wish these beautiful and amiable ladies an
equal success. Tomorrow evening the
brilliant comedian, Dan Setchell, makes
his first bow under an engagement Of six
nights, in which time he will appear in
his best characters, supported by Messrs.
Bray, Anderson. Thayer. Sinclair, and
Miss ALICIA Vaudeville. Belle Land, Mrs.
E. F. Stewart, Miss Flora Bray, Mrs.
Sam Wells, and the balance of the troupe.
The San Francisco press have been unani-
mousi in their encomiums of Setchell, and
we doubt not have done that gentleman
simple Justice. The box sheet is now
open, and Mr.. Setchell will make his first
appearance to q crowded house.
IMPROVEMENT. - The Crown Point
Company are making preparations to erect
a carpenter shop Of ample size, adjoining
their hosting works. Heretofore, they
have done oil their framing and heavy
carpenter work out Of doors, much to the
discomfort and inconvenience of the work
men. The company are now sinking, and
will soon require much framed timber for
use in the mine and are building the shop
70 frame il IN. II is something the COM
pany have long stood in need OF, and It
will enable their carpenters TO do their
work better. eaaier and more rapidly than
by Flooding away out OF doors IN the
dust, sun or storm.
The CIRcus.-The great circus which
we have all been impatiently waiting for
has come to town. The tent has been
put up opposite the News office, and the
first performance will be given this even
ing. Boys have been performing cir
Gus" around there all day, and members
of the Olympic Club, animated by the
sight, have been exercising in their hall
opposite since the tent first made its ap-
pearance. One of them was seen standing
on his head, and another is known TO
have turned a sommerSault. The circus
has a reputation Of being the best ever
on this coast. Every n who likes fun
should go and see it.
SrABBING AFFRAY.-Saturday night, q
Mexican stabbed Andrew Millattovich, in
Virginia. The knife penetrated the body
under the left scapula, inficting a very
dangerous wound. and at the time it was
supposed to have pierced the lungs. This
morning, we learn from his attending
physician, DR.. McMeans, that his condi-
ton is regarded as favorable, and his re-
covery very probable. The Mexican, 4
one-armed man, has been confined, since
the assault, in the county Jail. There ap-
pears to have been no cause whatever for
the assault.
INFORMATION WANrED.-It was an
nounced from the pulpits Of several
churches, in Virginia, yesterday, that the
wife of a Mr.. Emmons, Of Carson City,
was taken dangerously i'll, q day or two
since, and her physicians most earnestly
request her husbands presence. Mr..
Emmons left Carson for this place last
Wednesday, on business, since which
date all efforts TO discover his whereabouts
have been ~unavailing. Any n who
may be conversant with his present To-
cali,y will confer an esteemed favor upon
his distracted family by calling his assen-
ton TO this notice.
A RARE CHANcE.-MaX Levi offers to
the citizens of Gold Hill and Virginia a
rare opportunity to purchase the most ele-
CANT and fashionable jewelry at and below
cost prices. He has commenced to sell
of his large stock at such cheap rates for
the purpose of closing out his business as
quickly as possible. BY reference to his
advertisement, it will be seen that he also
has for sale an iron safe. Any one who
wishes such an article, or anything in the
line Of jewelry, will do well to give him a
call at No. u South c street, Virginia.
OFF PoR KgARsARoE.-S. 7. Gage, who
lately returned overland from the States,
and Chas. Tozer, the Superintendent OF
the Kearsarge Company, left Gold Hill for
that district yesterday. The latter goes
out TO superintend work on the Kearsarge
claim. We are told by one Of the mem
bers Of that company that they intend to
