10! the Poor f1Aanf.

The following extracts are severe, bat tbsy
serve to show the views which some Of the East
stn people entertain upon Indian matters
'lu a recent article we advanced the idea that
We must cease treating the Indian tribes a. in-
dePendent nations, to be ooarted diplomatically,
or slaughtered ruthlessly, according 70 the moed
Of the moment, and adopt the policy Of Eoyern4 :
ing them as the paupers Of the eountry, treating
them as human beings entitled to justice and rp-
spOnsibe TO the law. We put this policy upon
the ground that the Wh ole military power Of fhA
country would be insufficient to bring them 10
terms-that their line Of retreat over boundless
and uninhabited plains eludes all pursuit, a6d
lheif lice Of advance ignores all mercy.
These views feceive q striking confirmation
by the intelligence which comes 10 us from Ford
Laramie, that General Connor has Eetusned
from his campaign against the Siou1, Cheyeunes
and ArrapahOes, having bad several battles With
them in which he has killed three OF foIr hun
dred AID lost three or four score Of his oEH men,
including some valuable officers. Il Is added
that the Arrap4hoes are believed to Be sufficient
ly punished, but the Sioux and CAeyennes are
as active and hostile as ever The gloomy cor
clusion is, that the overland rou1s will be ex-
posed to their depredations as much As before.
Here are the results of the most Considerable
campaign ever undertaken against the Indians
that ever marched against them-one who has
spent the better part of four years among theES
or in close proximity to them-gotten up at an
immense cost, as all campaigns must be at that
distance from the sources of supply. OF the
four hundred Indians said to have been killed,
probably two hundred are as lively and vindtS-
tive as possible while the remainder Of the tribe
have swaImed back to the routes of overland
travel, like mosquitoes, never near enough to -
crushed and never distant enough to cease from
troubling. 1t is all very web for the seiileEs Of
the Western Territories to call for the utter et-
termination of the Indians, and to pride them
selves on decoying a few hundred old men,
s4uaws and papoOses into an ambush, under q
fagpf truce and then slagghterng them like
wolves. That sort Of Indian policy does, not
pay. As well might we hope to exterminate the
flies and gnats. The mass of them cannot be
reached, and when we do succeed, by worse than
Indian treachery, in butchering a few score Of
them, we only e1asperste the remainder, who
will be unfortunate indeed if they cannothpd
some lonely cabin or defenceless train, -npon.

be adopted toward the Indian is exteTminatioR.
We are sorry some sensible plan cannot be adopt,
ed in reference to the poor Indian race. Just,
now, our policy seems to be to plunder, degrade
and destroy. 1t is unworthy of civilized Amer

THE PACIFIC Misunderstanding Of the i'm
portance of the early completion Of this road, +,
the San Francisco Bulletin says: The Central
Pacific Company who seem of late inspired with
greater diligence than heretofore, promise to
have their road completed to the eastern line of
the State inside of two years. a feat that with
their abundant means can easily be accomplish
ed. The two hundred miles of road between
that point and Reese River SHOULD meantime be
graded to which end our Representatives in
Congress should exert themselves to have the
General Government take hold Of this portion of
the work in common with the entire line through
to its eastern terminus. The plan of employing
a portion of the army, together with such OF the
freedmen and discharged soldiers would be
willing to engage in the public service, is good
one, and should be acted upon without delay.
Many of these men have had experience in this
sort of business, and would answer better pur-
pose than any other class To be found While in
the army they were accustomed to work on rail-
ways, earthworks, viaducts; canals, ETC., all of
which they constructed with wonderful skill and
rapdity. Experienced contractors and engineers
have pronounced in favor of this scheme, and
give it their opinion that With 200 men of this
class the track along the entire route could be
prepared for the rails in less than six mo nths,
and the cars be rdnning from one end to the other
inside of two years. The plan is looked upon
favorably at Washington and by the people eve
rywhere, and if urged by the entire Pacific dele
cation will be very likely to prevail, securing
the early completion of this work, so vital to
our interests, which otherwise may not be ac-
complished for many years. In view of this fact,
it might be well that some popular demOnstra-
ton were made on this side evincing the feelings
and opinions of bur citizens in the premises,
and encouraging our representatives at Wash
ington to make earnest efforts in -urgiug this
great measure updn the attention of Conpress
and securing their favorable action upon it.

Put Your Shoulder to the wheel.

There's voice that speaks within rs,

As we pass along LIES pathway
Taking our appointed part;
And It bids ne bear onr burden,
Heavy though 1t seem and feel,
And with strong and hopeful Vigor
Put our shoulder 70 the wheel
what though clouds are darkling Ger ~,
They but hide tranquil sky;
Or should storm drops fhll around US,
Soon the sunshine bids them dry.
Never doubt and faint and falter;
Heart, be stout and true IS steell
Fortune smiles on brave endeayOr-

Folded bands will never aid Us
To uplilt the load Of cure;

Meek TO suffer, strong TO bear,
IT'S not chance that guides our footsteps,
Or our destiny can seal;
With a will then, strong and ready,
Put your shoulder to the wheel.
Men Of worth have conn'd the lesson,
Men Of might have tried itstFuth,

And be sure throughout life's journey
Many a wounded heart would heal

THE RESULTS OF CIVIL WAR.-The New York
correspondent of the London Times writes as
follows "The destitutiOn produced by the war
so universally over the South has assumed
shape which cannot help forcing itself upon the
attention of the philanthrOpic. The social evil
Is greater along the Mississippi, and in the towns
Of Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama, that were
so long the headquarters of immense armies.
Besides the vast Cyprian host who have local
hsbiIations and clothes to wear, the forests sur
rounding these cities swarm with multltudes of
half-naked, homeless, squalid outcasts who have
not for months slept under a roof. Nearly all of
these degraded creatures, who have lost the little
w0thanhOod they once possessed in a life of vice,
are refugees from happier places desolated by
the Var. The vlest pnrlieus of iniquity in great
cities can show nothing like them for wretched-
ness They live in the woods near the camps,
and sleep in fence corners stables, or under hay
stacks, and derive precarlous subsistence from
stealing corn or chickens or perhaps loaf of
bread given them by male companions as degra-
ded as they are. Some Of them wear but a sim
gle garment, aud that so tbrn and tattered that,
it will scarcely hang together; Others rig them
selves out in cast-of soldiers clothes. They are
filthy, diseased, and almost idiotic, aud when
found within one mile Of the corporate limits
they are arrested and sent 10 Jail for vagrancy,
but are discharged from it, if possible, more de-
PRAYED than when they enter. This crying evil
demands some remedy, and the sight of these
homeless creatures wallowing in wretcheduess
and filth, is one of the most horrid results of the
war. 1t makes one think that wars should end
for ever"

MINES AND MILLS AT SoUTH BoIsB.-Mr. Green
White returned from South Boise last week, af-
ter an extended examination of mining interests
there We derive the following notes from him:
The Waddingham Company's machinery ar
rived on the 28th-amounting to los tons, and
as fine as have ever seen in the Territory. 1t is
intended to work the ore of the Ada Elmore
mine, which is looking fine and being worked
by twenty hands, under the s1perintendence of
Mr.. Wilson Waddingham. They have about 100
tons of ore ready for crushing. Their mill is 80
horse powerand forty stamps, and was manufac-
tured in New York. The Victor Company's Mill,
on Red Warrior, is running ten stamps and two
of MoofeJ grinders, working thirty tons per day
from Tie Richmond and New York mines. |
was shown the amalgam taken outin one week s
run, which was estimated at 81, 900. This COM
pany is doing well, and from the appearance of
their mines l think they will continue TO do
well, The whole is under the superintendence
of Capt. F. o. Nelson, who will omit nothing
that would be Of benefit to his company. The
mill was manufactured at the Union Foundry,
San Francisco. The New York mine is pros
pected to a depth of los feet Vide. The W. B.
Benson mill will be running in one week. 1t is
being substantially put up under the superin-
tendence of Mr.. Harris. They have some fine
looking ore from the Wide West mine Mr.. Hat-
ris has gone to considerable expense in pros
pecting his lead by running a tunnel some two
hundred feet, but has not yet struck the ledge.
The Red Warrior Tunnel Company have run id
about IO5 feet and are starting the finest tunnel
have seen in Idaho Territory-intending q
strike blind lodes. 7he Idaho and New Yofk
CompaDy's Mill has been standing still for the
past three weeks, Tnder attachment for debt
contracted in building, but the creditors have
met and raised the attachment, and appointed

AFsu HaH6i HdaiHifa IN Fftrt District.

Tuesday morning we dressed ourself in pair
Of spurs and six-shOoter, mounted a mule, and
went to Flint District In company with the
Court bar, portion of the coming Legislature,
a $500, 900 Capitalist, Superintendent and Agent
of the Lincoln mill, and citizens generally. The
trail there is not unlike most mountain ones
About four miles up Long Gulch-west of Sill
ver-it crosses the divide between the North
and South forks of Jordan Greek. On the south
side of the divide we find Flint District The
Rising Star ledge is near the centre of the dis,
trict, and is fully ten miles from here and about
FIVE from the South branch of Jordan. The
mountains from here to Flint are cut up with
canons and gorges, with little rills coursing
down them, and well supplied with timber. To
make the round trip in one day, but little more
than a superficial view of the lodges can be ac-
complished.
We made a cursory examination Of the follow
ing lodges: Peace Democrat, Harriet Newell,
Twilight, Pompey, Polar Star, Monitor, Morning
Star, U. S. Grant, Leviathan, Rising Star, EX-
celsior, Boyd 4 Keller, Chrysopolis, Great Mo-
gull Gem and Eclipse. Have the names and
short history of others we didn't see. These
lodges are all well defined and from two to
twelve feet in width. The course of ali near

dominates. The rock nearly resembles that of
the Gold Hill and Virginia mines of Nevada
The greater the depth the richer the rcck.
This district has many attractions, both as re-
CARDS homes and the working of ores. The wa
ter is not exceled for pHrity, timber is abund-
ant, the hills are covered with fine pasturage,
and the region generally romantic. Quarries Of

situated that a short tunnel will tap the most of
them at depth of two hundred and fifty to fonr
hundred feet below the soil. Only FIVE miles
distant on the South Jordan, excellent water
mill sites for almost any number of mills can be
selected. Roads of easy grade can be made st
comparatively small cost. Take it altogetheEI

SMART SAYING FOR BE1GHAN.-There's an on
dit that's most too good to let go, unpublished
into the tomb Of time. It is this: After the in
formation reached the ears of the prophe: Brig
liam that Waldron, our swell beloved and
"weIl behaved" tragedian of no mediocre tai
ents, had taken it into Ris head to sue for the
hand of Miss Alexsnder-an excellent young Ac-
tress of Brigham's raising, or rather guardian
ship-and the proposition was "laid upon the
table, for religious reasons, report runs thus
wise-that Brigham said in the presence OF by,
stahders, "Waldron is gentleman and gooG
actor; be can play Rchelieu, Richard three Is,
Romeo, and what not, finely; but (by this time
Brigham brought his best sarcastic eloeution
into lse) he ca-a-n't play Alexander.

MoPE Amour FREEDMEN IN CALIFoREIA.-The
San Jose. Courier says:
A short distance out of town, on the Monterey
road, we fond a company of twenty-three col
ored men with a lot Of teams, wagons and an
outfit for the mines. On enquiry we found they
were in the employ of Anew York company, who
have embarked in the enterprise of working a
quicksilver mine in the vicinity Of Lake Mono,
about 300 miles distant from San Jose. The
men were hired at Richmond, Virginia, and
with the outfit Came by steamer to San Francis
CO. One of them being asked about the appear
anee at Richmond, replied: .Dare wasn't, no
Richmond dare as use to was; cannon balls

RISING STAR BULLIoN.-Messrs. Moore Fo-
gus shipped, since our last issue, two bars of
bullion obtained from ten tons of Rising Star
rock. The rock was roasted but done imper-
fectly. Their furnace is small For thorough
work, its capacity is but fifty pounds, and that
should remain in for six hours, whereas these
ten tons were roasted in three hundred pound
lots and only three hours. With this imperfect
process, it yielded over two hundred dollats to
the ton. This is most gratifying result The
rock was average only, as We have seen the ex-
act place from whence the rock was obtained,
and know the rock to have been taken from a
pile of one hundred tons without selection, and
within ten feet of the surface of the ledge The
rock grows richer as it is found deeper About
two hundred feet north of the point where this
rock was procured, large surface is graded for
a shaft house, and shaft down thirty-ive feet
The ledge is twelve feet in width Workmen
are sinking the shaft deeper, and will continue
to work it all winter. The appearance of the
rock is perfectly satisfactory To the owners. The
discovery was made by Putdy, Flint and others,
but has recently been purchased by Col. FOCUS.
The discovery claims comprise one thousand
feet.-Oryhee ArdIdnehe.
