Cheyenne City.

This new metropolis at the eastern
base of the Rocky mountains, and at the
present terminus Of the great overland
Union Pacific Railroad, is fast growing
into a great city. By the mail which
arrived in Gold Hill this morning we
received the Leader, and the Argus, OF
November 2Oth-only about thirteen
days old-and from which we clip the

EpIaRAM HISTORY OF THE WORLD, IN
NINE AcTs.
Inspired on witnessing tho moor set
as the sun rose on the summit OF the
Rocky Mountains, November ID, 1867.
WESTWARD | EVER WESTWARD, for thou
sand generations,
Civilization marching onward, peopled
the ancient nations,
When n woman sold her jewels, twas
in Fourteen Ninety-two
That Columbus left the Old World, n
landed in the New.
Again in Sixteen Twenty, Miles Standish
on the Dock,
Founded our mighty Empire where he
anchored on a rock!
WESTWARD EVER WESTWARD, seven
score and sixteen years, u.
We worked and toiled, and grew beyond
the British House of Peers,
Oppressive taxes-wrath aroused-then
Charon crossed tho Styx.
Up with the fag-down with the Tea,
cried men of Seventy-six.
Westward EVER WESTWARD, in Eigh-
teen Si%xty.one.
Our people reused from lethargy at the
sound of Sumpter's gun.
And then our old arch enemy went tot
tering to the grave,
England loosed her grip Of death when
we set free the slave.
WESTWARD | EVER WESTWARD, in Decem-
Der S~ixty-three,
l broke the ground'at Omaha, half way
from sea to sea.
| WESTWARD EVER WESTWARD, in the fol-
lowing mouth Of May,
The Railroad King Durant pushed on,
two miles or more a day.
TITS morn | on Rocky Mountains top,
whose columns reach the skies.
We see the moon retire to rest ! the sun
in splendor rise
EASTWARD |! PRESTO ! EASTWARD, let my
Fenians share the praise
When asia visits Europe in less than thirty
days. GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN.
THE INDIAN CoUNcIL.-Col. Heine and
Prof. Simonin have just returned from
the Council at Laramie. Several chiefs,
of the Crows and Arapahoes were in at
tendance. The Sioux failed to come in,
but are expected at North Platte, with
or the Commissioners proceed to mako
another effort. The first named tribes
we're very friendly and were willing to
20 on to reservations, and the Crows
will sign a treaty rs soon rs the Sioux
shall open the way. An acquaintance
of ours, who was q witness to the pro-
ceedings at Laramie, characterizes the
whole affair as q miserable failure and
barren of beneficial results. There were
about three hundred Indians present, OF
the t.ibes above named with o few Chey-
enncs. General Harvey did not regard
them rs at all worthy of forming q treaty
with. The Commission virtually pro-
missed the Crows, and through them,
the Sioux, to abandon the northern forts
and roads, which seems to be their
fnality. He says that in almost every
lodge, and he was in them all, he found
q skulking white man.
THE SABBATH.-We were pleased to
observe some of the leading business
men, last Sabbath taking a decided
stand in favor of christian morality, by
closing their doors on that day. The
Sabbath, in this country, is q political
as we'll as religious institution and its
observance is not only imposed upon
protesting christians, but is a part Of
the obligation ola good citizen.
SOMEWHAT frequent occurrences Of
assault and robbery have happened
within the last few nights. 1t is OK.
tremely difficult to fastcn the guilt Of
the preparation of these outrages upon
the offenders with sufficient certainty
to warrant their punishment. Mean
time, let those Of our citizens who have
occasion to be out at night, take proper
precautions for personal safety.
The weather has been glorious fol
nearly a week, but keep your goggles
in order, for you know not the day mol
hour when ono of our gentle zephyr:
may render their use requisite.
FROM the reports which como to us
from the east, we are led to believe thai
the Black Crook and Menkcn are barely
tolerated.
WESTERN men are called progressive,
and Shyanners are no exception.
