FRon RED MOUNTAIN CITY.

EDITOR POsr: Permit me in the col
umns Of your valuable journal to give
few items from this new and almost un-
known portion of our fair young Ter
ritory." This town. or rather this en-
bryo city, contains some three hundred
and fifty houses. many of which are
quite large and substantial structures.
The streets are full of building material,
and the constant click of the woodman's
az and the artizan's tools, are heard on
every side. We believe our placer mines
are equal, if not superior to any now
worked in the Territory. At least five
hundred men are employed (the weather
permitting in developing the different
quartz leads, running drain bitches,
sinking shafts and taking out "pay
grit" to be ready for washing when old
Soils rays soften the huge snow banks
on the surrounding mountains. Very
rich and extensive placer mines have
just been discovered high up on the
mountains, Immediately below the belt of
rich quartz leads that crop out distinctly
for distance of over three miles.
Among the richest quartz leads in this
section may be mentioned, the Ballarat,
Golconda, Neyins and Red Mountain.
On the former, two tunnels are being
run to strike them at a depth varying
from 100 to 250 feet. On the latter, two
shafts are being put down, as fast as
muscle and money can do it. The ledges
vary from FIVE to sixteen feet in width
and are of great richness. From four
pounds of rock taken from the Nevins,
"a 90 was obtained by crushing and pan
ming out, without the aid of quicksilver.
Rock taken from the Golconda and Bal
larat, will average ten cents per pound.
This is pretty tough yarn to tell, but
the most skeptical can be convinced of
its truth. by examination and practical
tests. We have had delightful weather
until within the last six days, during
which time it has been intensely cold.
Three men had their feet badly frozen in
coming to this place from the Silver Bow
road. The thermometer has indicated
as low as 20o below zero. To-day the
sportsmen have had rare and exciting
amusement A large band of elk were
discovered within half mile of town
every available gun was brought into
requisition, and the hunters sailed forth.
Six monarchs of the forest fell victims
to the unerring rifle. Moose. deer, and
mountain sheep, are so plentiful in this
locality, that their appearance on the
hillsides fails to excite the warm blood
of our Boones. The brethren of the

edifice for their use, which is credit TO
them and an ornament to the city.
Yours, RICHMOND.

THE MULLAN ROAD.

From the walla Walla Statesman, we
learn that memorial has been introduc-
ed in the Legislature of Washington
Territory, in relation to the Mullan road,
which will be presented by that body to
Congress. 1t asks for an appropriation
of one hundred Thousand dollars, which
is claimed will, if judiciously expended,
put the road in good condition from
Walla Walla to Helena, distance of
four hundred and forty-five miles. They
ask that competent engineer from the
United States Typographical Bureau, be
given the superintendent of the repairs,
and that when opened it shall be a free
road. 1t appears that the road is, at
present, in such a condition that teams
loaded with freight and machinery can
not pass over great portion of it, and
that but a small addition to the amount
which the government has expended on
it already, will serve TO make it great
national highway, of unestimable value
to the government as a military road,
and to the people on both sides as chan
mel of travel and commerce. Should
there be no appropriation made as petit
toned, it will either go to ruin or pri-
vate individuals and companies will
seize upon available portions of it, and
burden the immigrants and freighters
with excessive tolls. While this petition
comes from the agricultural community
of Washington Territory, it is of no less
interest to- the mining population of
Idaho and Montana, and full one hun
dred thousand people are directly inter
ested in the undertaking. Freight by
pack trains costs from Walla Walla to
Helena, thirteen to twenty-five cents per
pound in gold, while the distance is no
greater than it is from Virginia TO Salt
Lake, and the route full vas practica-

THE INDIAN MOVEMENT.

For some time past it has been rumor-
ed that the Indian tribes between the
mountains and the Missouri were pow
wowing together for the purpose of
forming a coalition to make common
cause against the whites, and drive them
out of their territory Attempts were
made to entice some of our peaceable
mountain tribes into the alliance, but
were unsuccessful. From the latest ad-
vices it appears that the Sioux have sue
ceeded in enticing twelve tribes into the
league, and the number of their warriors
is estimated at eleven thousand. The re-
cent massacre at Phil Kearney and the
numerous attacks on the whites over a
broad expanse of territory along the
Platte would seem to indicate that they
have already taken the initial move
ments for an active campaign as soon as
the spring opens The government APP
pears to have at last awakened to the
necessity of dealing with the savages as
they deserve. Eight thousand troops
portion of them by rail. Gen. Caring
ton has been removed from command,
and placed under arrest for trial on the
charge of carelessness in the perform
ance of duty. The recent massacre of
ninety soldiers near the post he was
commanding, is attributed to his negli-
gence in furnishing succor. 1t is said
the Indians numbered three thousand,
and that the troops fought with unpar-
ralleled bravery. 1t is not stated who
is to take command of the department,
but it is to be hoped that no such imbe-
cility or cowardice as disgraced this
route last summer will again subject
soldiers and emigrants to slaughter, and
the government to disgrace. 1t is high
time the sickly sentimentalism about
humane treatment and conciliatory
measures should be consigned to novel
writers, and if the Indians continue their
barbarities, wipe them out.

are unjust towards the Republican party
and the United States Congress The
Gazette places President johnson in op-
position to Congress. and asserts that the
latter " proposes to force negro suffrage

amendments" Through the exertions
of democratic organs it has been herald

A Row OF PROMISE.

The following is clipped from a late
Georgia paper: ....
"Some of the Southern press have, we doubt
not very undesignedly, aided in disseminating
salse views of the feelings and purposes of the
Northern people in respect to the South, by
republishing articles from the Day Book, I"
Z" Metropolitan" and other Northern journals
of the class Copperhead. These articles are
very pleasant reading. They respond fully
to the honest convictions of our people in
respect to the cause of the war, and the moral
and political attitudes of the parties to it.
These papers talk very confidently, too, of
reactionary opinion in the Northern States
upon these points, and Southern hope warmly
seconds all such suggestions. But in truth
these are mere dreams, and in many respects
pernicious dreams. They inspire us with false
hopes and false views of the political situa-
tiOn, when it is most Of all desirable that we
should fix our minds upon the sober truth, and
make the best of our bad and unpromising
condition.
of the Northern press who falsely dis
seminate the idea that the people of the
North will not sustain the action of it's
representatives in requiring guarantees
of future good behavior from the rebel
lious States. All through the war, the
same journals made promises and pledg-
es that there would be grand reaction
ary movement in the North, and that
"there would rise up a majority to stop
the inhuman warfare among brothers" !"
The Democratic party were not more
anxious for a termination of the war,
than was the Republican. But there
were great principles involved in the
contest, and the war would have contin-
ued until desolation had swept every
hill and valley of the North, ere it would
have been abandoned. And today
coming forth victors from the struggle
fer freedom on the red fields of war
think you, discontented cavillers, that
they will abandon that principle in the
legislative halls? You have no such
hope; and this whining sympathy for
the disarmed and conquered South, is
but an endeavor to instill into the heal
ing wounds of the country the vile ven
om of discord, and incite them to fresh
acts of suicidal hostility The South
has been lured long enough by your
siren notes in the pathway. of destruc-
ton and we hail as a happy omen this
evidence of appreciation of Northern
