THE RETURNED SOLDIERS.

The conditions Of the Northern and
Southern States, now, at the close Of the
war, are not more different than those OF
the returned soldiers of the Union and
rebel armies. The Shareholders, by SOW
ing the wind, have reaped a whirlwind
that has pretty e~ffectually cleaned them
out" They have made battle-felds Of
their plantations, and courted q strife
which has left their country, cities and
towns. in a most pi,able and d~ilapidated
condition. The rebel soldiers. TOO, placed
their faith on Confederate scrip, and sud-
denly awoke 10 a realizing sense OF the
fact that their faith was not well founded;
and now while the planter surveys his
fenceless fields and rickety buildings, and
calls the roll Of his slaves in vain, the
paroled or released "reb" brings up at
some town near Mason & Dixon's line.
out at the elbows, through at the knees,
and none so poor to do him reverence.
But how different it is at the North "when
Johnny comes marching home" with
plenty Of Uncle Sans g~reenbacks in his
pocket, and clad in the glorious suit Of
blue, to greet the folks at home made
happier by his return, TO find the barns
well filed, the fields well titled, and the
towns and cities more thriving, richer and
more beautiful than he had ever seen them
before. 4 correspondent writing to the
Alta, from ST. Louis, gives the following
sketch, which is applicable to all places
along Mason s. Dixon's line. He says
that the only sensation in that city now is
caused BY the returned soldiers Of both
armies, "the boys in blue" swarthy,
strong, athletic, well-dressed and we'll
conditioned and the late rebels clad in
garments impossible to describe, but Of
assorted colors and styles, cadaverous and
yellow, with hair unkempt, and as long,
if not as beautiful, as that Of Absalom.
They swarm upon our streets by the hun
dred and thousand. The former being
possessed Of money, are, Of course, objects
of attention on the part Of enterprising
dealers in clothing and wearing apparel
in general. 1t is somewha. noticeable,
however, that these dealers have never a
word or look for the wandering ex-rebels,
than which no more striking commentary
upon the utter failure Of the rebellion, and
the ruin Of those who have linked their
fortunes with it, need be written. Un-
cared for, looked upon askance as they
stray through our streets, or gaZed at
with curious eyes, without money, and
almost without clothes, they are at last
dependant upon the Government which
they have tried to destroy, for bread to
keep them alive and for transportation to
then homes. II they be not wiser and
better men in the future, adversely must
be a poor teacher or they are dull pupils.

PLAYING IT Down FINE.-Formerly.
"stuffed" ten and twenty dollar pieces
were quite common, but a filled or stuffed
81 so piece is, we believe, something Of
very recent appearance. We have been
shown a quarter eagle, Of the date Of 1858,
which had been sawn apart, followed out,
and filled with q hard, heavy composition,
and the halves reunited, and the edges
re-milled SO skilfully that the fraud could
hardly be discovered by the most careful
observation. The piece is Of full weight,
but has no ring whatever, and can be best
detected by this test. It is made a triae
thicker by the process, but not so much as
to be noticed on a cursory examination

A QrERY.-A man marries and has
children by his FIRST wife; the wife dies
and the children get married, their chill
dren making him a grandfather he again
marries and has issue by the second wife.
Legally and technically, what relation
does the issue Of the second wife bear to
his grandchildren? Who will answer a.
Virginia Union.
If that issue was born in Washoe, you
had better let him or her find out who the
daddy or the grandaddy is. Blackstone's
lineal line of descent never reached this
latitude. But. suppose you submit that
matter to Walter Bray. Walter is good
on problems.

The problem Of the Washoe mines is not
vet solved. There seems to be no doubt
but that the first body, or vein, or zone of
ore has been nearly worked out, and
whether there is another one at the depths
towards which shafts are now tending, is
a query. The big hollows in the noun
tains whence the ore has been taken give
back dreary echoes when questioned.
They have a singular influence upon
speculative visitors. They have been
known to produce terrible collie very sud
denly. As the depth becomes greater, the
expense increases in a rapid ratio. The
first cost of timber for inclines is $1,000
every thirty feet, to say nothing of decay
ing old ones, caving walls, etc. To
prospect" under such circumstances re-
quires condolences. F. Alto Of Monday.

LIVELY TINES IN SAcRAMENTo.-I In
another column of our paper will be read
a truly lively description OF the scenes
which were enacted in the County Con-
v~en,ion, held in that city on Monday.
We recollecs but one scene like it, and
tina, was in the Democratic State Conven-
ton held in that city in the year 1861
when John McDousall and Ned McGowan
were both acting as Presidents at the same
time. We fear that the Union patty is
getting too many smart men into its ranks.
and that there are not Offices enough to
be filed. Let the Union party Of this
State endeavor to avoid the rocks and
breakers over which our ~neighbors in
California are now wrecking themselves
and their party.

CAMP ON low CRERk,
July IL, 1865.
Ed. SrATEsMAN-SIR: An express has
Just reached camp, bringing news Of a
fight of Lieut.. Hobart's command with a
large number of Snake Indians, at the
head Of the Malhour river. The soldiers
killed four Indians, wounding others, and
captured fifteen horses. The troops had
two men wounded and lost two animals.
The Indians have complete possession Of
many of the roads. They attacked q train
in Pueblo Valley, killing two men and
wounding one. One of the men had his
head cut off and a stake driven through
his mouth and pinned to the ground his
legs and arms were cut of, his body cut
into shreds and hung on the bushes /; an
other is said to have been burned. The
news reached us tonight that a train was
attacked neal the Owyhee, killing the wo-
men and capturing two children.
Pierce & Francis saddle train asked
Yesterday for five men to aid them in get.
ting through, and it was denied them, for
the troops are not here to spare. Hill
Beachy mas Oeen ullFen Oh tue Eouu, MY
seven horses stolen, and with the remain
der he was compelled to leave the line.
The Indians, in fact, from here to the
Humboldt, are inarms, and active and i'm
mediate measures should be taken to
check them, and give protection to the
road, to travel, and to the mines. Freight
and passenger trains are on the road and
at the mercy of these wretches. If there
be not troops enough in the district to
protect the people, the Governor of Idaho
should, by all means, take some steps to
urge more troops TO this quarter. A large
post Of three hundred men is needed in
the Pueblo Valleys central point in a
difficult Indian country. The disaster to
the mining and farming interests in
Owyhee county must be serious, this sea-
son at least. Lieut.. Hobart deserves
great credit for having made the Indians
learn that the troops are at their heels.
But a handful of troops is not enough to
protect a region Of country five hundred
miles long, and extending from the Hum
boldt to the Malheur. JOHN MuLLAN.

A PREVENTIVE MEASURE. Smallpox
does not exist here as an epidemic, but it
is undeniable that it is now quite prevalent
in some quarters Of the city, and every
means should and will be taken to prevent
its spreading more generally. An order
has gone forth for the vaccination of all
pupils in the public schools. All pupils
who have been v~accinated within seven
years must have a certificate to that effect
from the physician who performed the
operation, If he resides in the city other
wise, from the parents.-S. F. Alta.
