A HEALrHY HEaIRA,

Two notorious secesh left Virginia City
on Sunday morning, never to return
They announced to remaining friends and
old-time associates that they were bound
for the savannahs of the South. We will
speculate on their ideas about that portion
of the Nation after paragraph or two.
We understand that they are to have many
followers. of the same political kith and
kin. May haste be IN their bones and
hurry in their nerves. 1t is getting little
unpleasant for creatures of wretched trea-
son sympathizing record to peregrinate
and palaver around these pioneer settle
ments. We would not discourage this
exodus, not for the world. And so
thoroughly set in their opinions are the
chivalry, from Virginia Lee down to a
Virginia City pettifogger, that we appre-
bend no danger of change in their plans
and expectations, inducing their going,
from what we shall suhjoin.
According to our view. the bevy Of
chivs about to favor US by an exit, are
mistaken in their calculations on the social
condition of the South, to which they turn
their beautiful countenances. Most Of
these gracious departures are taken and
subscribed for by secesh attorneys. They
conceive that they will strike the chosen
places as advocates at the Southern bar
which they may patronize and ennohle BY
their admitted or resumed presence. There
will be a great many cases arising in
Southern Courts, undoubtedly, in which
these will have probable chance to plead
ON behalf of defendants to suits for re-
clamation brought BY plundered UnioniNts
or the heirs of Union martyrs in the South
against the cruel and cowardly imps Of
the Rebellion. But this business, we I'M
dertake to say, will never be lucrative or
safe. All the wealthy and intelligent de-
PENDANTS and plaintiffs in Southern Courts,
hereafter, will naturally, in suits involv-
ing political antecedents, rather choose
lawyers Of known Unionism and a fair
amount of ability. Very few chiv. attor-
neys in Nevada or California have any
positive ability in their professions. They
have been studiously pulled up BY their
outside comrades and many of them have
regulations which, repeated in a journal
in the old, critical East, would prepare
the legal practitioners Of any locality to
laugh in derision at its fulsomeness, when
one of these shallow babblers opened his
first case at their bar. Then, the record
of these will 60 with them. 1t will stick
TO them like the shirt of Nessus. They
who for four years prayed for the assas-
sination of President Lincoln; they who
publicly gloated over the death Of Baker
they who subscribed money TO build the
pirate Semmes' vessels for ocean plumber
and waste they who joined under the
chieftainship of A. c. Bradford in the
Golden Circle, and strove, through that
and the cunning use of Laborers' League,
to revolutionize society here and make
this haven of riotous rest for the riff-ratf
Of the doomed Confederacy where, IN
the East, North or South, shall these find
respect, or q relief from the directly pieic-
ing scorn of loyal and honorable men
Contempt and infamy is their lot through
life in this country; and their hereafter
habitation is hell. Go, yevile dogs !! Ie
will not better your own condition greatly
by the moving, but you will purify the
atmosphere of these little hills and towns
by your leaving. Your biography here,
as traitors. will cleave to you; you will
be spurned in New Orlean~; the very
women who spat in Union soldiers face"
will despise you, who remained away
from while you cheered on battles for
slavery. But, go!
