bridge was fully supplied by some 300 heado
Western, many of which were cows and iG-
young cattle, which come directly in comp.

1t is understood in we'll informed

- The Second Annual German
schutzenfest at Washington commenced
on Monday, and will continue until Fri
day. Delegations were present from the
schutzen corps Of Philadelphia, Newark,
Lynchburg, Baltimore and other cities,

The forthcoming statement of the
public debt will show considerable re-
duction, as compared with the last
monthly exhibit. Since the 3lst of May
more than 100000 OF interest has
been paid out of the treasury-$20, 900,
600 in coin and two installments of $l0,-
600 900 each In currency. The reduc-
tion, which will be shown for July, is
principally owing to the receipts of in
ternal revenue having been heavier than
usual, and increased by the payment of
the income tax. There will be compar.
atively little interest paid by the gov
eminent until the first of November,
VIII en- the annual interest will fall due
on the five-twenties. 1t will amount to
about $24 100000 in coin.

The INDIAN TRouBLEs.-The Indian
attacks OF Saturday last upon Fort Hsr-
ker and Big Greek stage station, by
which seven men were killed and twenty
animals stolen, is properly called the
boldest dash yet. The reason assigned,
however, for its being bold, namely, that
The redskln raiders on Big Greek were
Exposed to the fire OF the Fifth Infantry
and dozen stage employees, at dis
lance of 300 yards" is hardly good one
since not single Indian seems to have
been scathed, even by a chance shot,
from these sixty.two fine msrksmen. If
that is the way the Indian war is waged,
with our improved firearms, in the hands
irregular troops, near post, massacres
of small squads in distant ambushes are
not so surprising. Sioux, riding at top
speed on feet ponies, and emptying their
quivers, Parthian-like, in flying, could
do better than the infantry seem to have
done. Next time, perhaps our troops
would do we'll to reduce the 1900 yards"
in the course of the skirmish.

TIT UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD OPEN
AIS M1LEs.-A few weeks since we no.
ticed the opening of the Union Pacific
Railroad TO Julesburg, 81 miles west of
Omaha, and sometime this week we ex-
pect to report its completion TO Grow
Greek, point AZ miles farther west,
making a total of 425 miles. Fifty miles
of track in addition are graded ready for
the iron, and there is no doubt of the
completion of the road to the base of the
Rocky Mountains early in the Fall. The
Company are confident that the whole
line to the Pacific will be open for bust
ness in 1870. The Indians have annoyed
the surveying parties and tie cutters,
who are many hundred miles Ia advance
of the work but they have wholesome
fear of the population that railroad
carries with it, and all trains run with
out interruption.
The business of the Company has been
most hattering. The earnings for the
quarter ending August LIST, were about
100000; but as the report for the last
week in July has not been received, the
exact fraction cannot be given. These
earnings accrued from operating on an
average of not more than $50 miles Of

Congress, at its coming session, in pla'

executive powers Of the President dur

TEEBF CAUGHT.-One David G. Ubar
was arrested in Lincoln, July q charged
with stealing clothing, joiner's tools,
&C., from J. A. Vinton, A. G.. Allen, L.
@. Hyde, Henry Royce and others, Of
Granville. On Monday he was brought
before justice R. NJ. Hubbard of Gran
vile, and bound up in the sum of $3.50,
and in default Of bail be was committed
to Middlebury Jail. The pursuit OF the
thief was an exciting one. One man
was arrested in Waitsfeld, but soon re-
leased, as none Of the missing property
was fognd in his possession. A suspi-
cious person, who finally proved to be
the one they were looking for, passed
the house of Mr.. Samuel Austin one
night with heavy pack on his back.
Mr.. Austin pursued him so closely that
he threw down his bundle and ran away
in the darkness. The bundle contained
the missing property. He was then fol-
lowed by J. NJ. Hyde, VIM. F. Allen, and
others, in vigorous pursuit, and was
finally taken at the French settlement in
Lincoln.

SHOCKING DEATH.-Last Sunday even
ing, few minutes before eight o'clock,
says Walton's Journal, Mr.. John
McGuin started from Silver's livery
stable, Montpelier, in wagon, the fills
of which were too short for the horse, so
that the whiffie-tree struck the horses
legs and frightened him into run up
Main street. Mr.. McGuin seems to
have directed the horse purpesely to a
pile Of rocks opposite to the site of the
new Congregational church, but first en-
counEered the crossing in the side ditch
opposite MIR. Fishers shop, and then
struck a rock, the collision throwing
out Mr.. McGuin, whose head struck
upon the sharp edge of rock, causing
instant death by the conclusion and
crushing OF the skull. He was a stone
mason, aged about so years, 8 brother
of the master workman on the church
opposite to which he was killed. At the
same time girl was struck by the
horse and slightly injured. Mr.. McGuin
was a single man residing with his
brother, an excellent workman, and en-
ployed mainly in church building from

CASTE IN GOD's "ACRE. We have re-
ceived the following interesting and
touching note:
Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1867-11-04

ern roads surpass the "big cuts" and
"tunnels" Of the Central Pacific Rail-
road. What renders it a formidaoie
route is the " snow line" and the con-
sequent necessity for long roofings' He
says with the exception Of one mile ana
a half on the Beckworth Pass the route
is exceedingly f~avorablei and he mas q
large package of afidaVits tes'ifying
that the greatest depth of snow ever
known on any part of the route is less
than four feet, and that over three teet
has not fallen in any season since 'o4,
on any part of the route, except a
distance of about Ave miles. In re-
Spouse to our inquiry as to the quality
NJ the Dutch Flat Railroad, he replied
that a wider bed, larger culverts and
stone yiaducts were needed in many
places to make the road what, in his
opinion, i. should be. And upon this
poiut he made other remarks, which we
are not at liberty to repeat.
He has been the Placcrville route
once; but not having obtained full data
as to Bishops survey before he started,
he did not mako as full an examination
as he intends doing before he returns
East. He saw enough, however, to
convince him that it was a far prefer
able route to that ria Dutch Flat.
He remarked that people on this coast
very inadequately appreciated the difi'
culties on the "other end" Of the line
thinking i. all "plain sailing" there so
far; and expressed q hope that tho pa
pers on this coast would copy a letter
in the New York Tribune for October
10th, on railroad building On the Plains,
kansas Branch as that would furnish
some idea of their trouble by the side OF
the shifting Platte. Many items receiv'
ed from tho source indicated, we defer
to another date of publication; and from
the veteran we hope and expect farther
details Of review. He starts for q look
at the Humboldt line Tomorrow.
