JAMES p. BECKwORTH.

From the DenUer NeleS, we condense
the following sketch of Jim Beckworth,
whose name is familiar all over the
mountains, and who recently died some
where in the North Platte country, at
the advanced age Of seventy. According
TO his own account. he was born near
Alexandria, Virginia. His mother was
q slave and his father an Irish overseer.
At an early age, he conceived a dislike
for life of servitude, and journeyed
westward to Missouri-then the hunting
grounds of Boone, and kindred spirits.
AT that time, the great region of the
Platte had not yet been trodden by the
foot of the white man. About 1917, he
Joined one of the caravans which annually
made it's way out upon the Great Amer
lean Desert" and thenceforth was a
prominent actor in the great life-drama
enacted on the border. He was one of
Louis Vasquez's party, who discovered
and explored the South Platte. Subse-
quently he became an Indian by adoption,
and was for many years the principal chief
of the Crows and, by his skill and tact,
established tor them the prestige of
savage warfare which made them re-
nowned. In later years, he cut loose
from his Indian friends, and entered the
government service as guide and inter
prefer. After the discovery of California,
he made his home in the valley of the
Sierra Nevadas until he incurred the
displeasure of the Regulators. by stealing
horses, or being implicated in certain
robberies; when, having to leave, he,
after various wanderings, returned to
Westport, Missouri. In 1859, he went
to Denver, and, in company with Louis
vasquez and his nephew. Pike Vas
quez, started a store on Ferry street
He subsequently married, and ''ranched'
near Denver for two or three years
His marriage not proving happy, he
abandoned his farm and relapsed into
his old habits. Far away from the set
Elements and every trace cf civilization,
the last two years were mainly spent,
and amid such scenes, his days drew TO a
close and were finally numbered. ~

AmtLIrARx ORGANIZATION.

1t is stated by the Gazette that Gen.
Meagher is about to organize regiment
of mounted rifiemen, and will turn over
to them the arms and ammunition which
were turned over to him by Col. Saw
yer last fall. Further than "as a credit
and protection to the Territory" it is
not stated what the purpose of the or
ganization is. IL may be for protection
against Indians or the Union League,
or intended as body guard to escort
the General to the Missouri river, when
he starts to Washington as delegate.
The Gazette thinks that the uniform
will be very pretty, which we hope is
correct, rs tastily- soldiers are
much needed for fighting Indians. The
officers are to be worthy of the men, and
the men are to be the best material that
can be found anywhere.

The New York Tribune says Secession
was never the choice, the voluntary act of the
Southern masses. On n free, fair vote, tbere
was n large majority in the slave States for the
Union without conditions. Then where is
the danger in allowing large majority of the
recent slave States their constitutional rights
to the Union asks the Boston Post. Are the
Radicals afraid to trust the unconditional
Union men of the Southern States, who are
largely in the majority, according to Radical
authority.
"Where is the danger" you obtuse hubite,
the danger is, they would help the minority of
the Nation to become an overwhelming ma
jority, now do you know ?-[ Colorado Times.
The assertion of the Tribune shows no
inconsistency on the part of the Re
publicans, who believe the statement.
The masses of the South were loyal when
secession was first promulgated and at
tempted. The leaders never dare trust
it to the votes of the people, The masses
are loyal to-day. Those who sustained
the Union are desirous to re-invest them
with forfeited privileges. But they have
the wicked, crafty, deceitful, treaeherous.
traitorours. despotic crew who conceived
and forced secession upon the South,
beneath the plated heel of retributive
Justice, and there they should and will
stay until their power of doing farther
evil is gone, and forever.

A NAME WITH A MEANING.-W. J.
Forbes Esq, an editor whose pen is a
whole galvanic battery of condensed
Tightening, and who goes for all that s
out when he starts, has recently pur-
chased the Daily Union, Virginia city,
Nevada, and in changing the name of
the paper, INDUCES in the following
rather fanciful views.
The Daily " Trespass " makes its appearance
this afternoon, as successor to The Virginia
Daily Union" Material for a change in
the mechanical Set-up of the paper has not yet
arrived, but will be here in the course of time,
by team process. Meantime, il is thought best
to come out In plain, under the proper title.
The title is odd, which for the purpose is n
merit. In its application il is original-which
was strong reasons for its adoption. To be
taken daily, before dinner, till the ills
you suffer of disappear and the objection
which the unco' good make to the title will
wear away, and you will like The " Trespass. -
To do the right thing when occasion offers,
regardless of the behests of those who are in
power, or those who offer you money to do
wrong TO stand by the right in general to
stand by the interests of the people against
powerful men who have their seat of power
In money they have amassed-to do these
things has come to be a trespass, against the
common usage.
Then, for the pleasanter view remember that
some of the most exquisite pleasures of life
are intensified by the consciousness that they
are trPspasses. And finally, when the record
IL made up, and the sum of our agressions and
shortcomings is In the balance, how perfect
and comprehensive the supplication, Z" Father,
forgive us our Trespasses 20

THE DISEASE AND THE REMEDY

1t will be seen by the telegrams in to-
days paper. that the House Military
bill, has been amended 10 read
as "an act for the more efficient
government of the rebel States" and as
amended has passed the United States
Senate 1t is without exception
the most important bill of the ses-
sion. and shows that Congress is
thoroughly disgusted with the fOllies and
foibles which the leading Southern rebels
have thrown in the way of the adjust
ment of existing difficulties. The trait
orous actions of Southern politicians,
since the s'eyation of Andrew Johnson
to the office of Chief Executive, have not
the country than when they marched
their armies upon the Capitol of the Ma
ton, and endeavored to subvert republi-
can institutions into an aristocratic mon
archy, where they should be Princes and
POtentates. Forfeiting every right and
privilege under the government. by their
acts of rebellion, and appealing to the
arbitrament of arms, they were n con-
quered people. without any claims what
ever upon that government they sought
to destroy. Any privileges bestowed
upon them were purely voluntary on the
part of the government, and they, by
their humility. during the few months
succeeding the close of the war, tacitly
acknowledged this fact. Thoroughly
conquered and beaten. they asked not
for terms, only mercy, and had the con-
stitutional amendments since offered,
been presented before the assassination of
President Lincoln. they would undouDt-
edIy have been accepted by the south, as
an unparalleled act of magnanimity. The
accession of johnson to the Presidential
chair; his evident sympathy for them,
by words and actions. and the hostility
manifested toward the representatives of
the loyal States inspired them with new
hopes. He was surrounded by them and
their friends continually; petted, car
ressed. and fed upon the daintiest doses of
fiattery which smooth tongues could lisp
in his ear; f; his indignation at. and hatred
toward Congress, was tostered and fed
until. as is too evident he abandoned
his loyalty and went over body and soul
TO that element which he had declared
must be rendered odious.' This ac-
tion of the President, coupled with his
hopeful limitations thrown out to them,
instilled fresh hopes among the leaders
of the chivalry, and pampered the pride
that had received such fearful shocks on
the battle-felds of the South. The con
ditions presented to them, have been
contemptuously rejected; and. instead
of snpPlieating pardon for their past
offenses, they have demanded conees-
sions which are at variance with every
principle Of right, and the progressive
