The Montana post., 1868-09-18
Frnm Mednssanr,. Daily.

Fall River, MAS, News, yesterday publishes
in the Gazette and from which we make a few
| extracts Among the opening aragraphs We
find the following 'FThree years ago the
United States flag could not ly in Montana,
save from few Government posts, and the
man who ayowed himself a Union man or a
Yankee was shot like dog. The rebel fag
/ waved over store, saloon and cabin, and was
Aaunted by drunken demons whenever polit-
ical procession appeared on the streets. Even
/ one year ago when the publishers of the Her
aid IA Radical sheet moved int a new build
ing, and raised the Stars and stripes upon the
roof, they had three fights upon their hands
in less than fifteen min utes.'' This Is false
hood of the first magnitude. Three years ago
the United States flag did hy in Montana
without opposition, the rebel flag did not
"vave" &C., and was not "haunted," and the
publishers of the Herald did not have fight
on their hands as charged, Speaking Of the
last election this s.Anderous scribbier says
"About noon long, laDk, whisky-soaked
Missourisn came up the polls with fight writ
ten on his countenace. Hello said he, I'm
the man show me - niger lover and
let me chaw him up He had hardly uttered
the words before be found one in the shape OF
n Federal Major. who planted his fist on hIs
nose, deposited him in the gutter, performed
a war dance on his ribs, and would have killed
him had not the crowd rushed in and sepa-
rated them. saw twenty fights of this kind,
and many men who came 20 the polls with
decent faces, went home, in the language of
this country, with a head on 'em like
piEened pup Strange TO say nobody was
killed, though pistols were drawn several
times and there was probably not a man there
who did not have his hand on that indispen-
sable article two-tbiTds of the time. Shoot
ing would have taken place in two instances,
only that the crowd was 80 thick that men
were afraid of hurting their friends. 1 saw
the u. S. Marshal of the Territory, Gen. H.,
spring from his horse and defy three foul
mouthed scoundrels to meet him. But they
knew him to be a dead shot, and skillful
enous IA to throw knife thirty feet and drive
it through mans body, and declined TO dis
mount" The unmitigated liar who will
send abroad such reports concerning this
Territory deserves to be- banished from il.
Who Is it ;? He seems To be an adn.irer of
Federal Major" that has hung around that
establishment. On the other hand, the ''short
fingered" reporter Of the Herald is former .
'attache' of the Fall River News in which
this letter appears. We leave the public to
draw their own conclusions ns to who j. the
traducer of Mcntana's fair fame.
CINDERELLA.-"A thing of beauty Is a JOY
forever" Never before was that exquisiteIy
expressed thought of poor Keats SO nptly and
beautifully illustrated rs in the successive
representations of this fairy spectacle. A
large audience again assembled last evening
TO greet and enjoy the third appearance of
the beautiful fairies. There was no decline
of interest, no abatement of enthusiasm, but
the performance passed of more successfully
than ever before, and the appreciation of the
large audience, usual, was manifested by
continued and hearty applause. That all may
have an opportunity of witnessing this grand
work of ART and magnificent spectacle of en-
chanting beauty before it departs forever, tn
management will repeat the performance this
evening, introducing new and more beautiful
features which will be we'll worth the entire
admission. Be sure and attend tonight.
PHILLIPpsBuRs.-Cole Saunders, Esq. re-
turned from there night before last. After
working three days on the Poor Mans Joy
lode, portion of the machinery of the St.
Louis & Montana Co. s mill broke, and it was
obliged to suspend operations. 1t will start
break occurred, the amalgamator declared
that the amalsam looked better than he had
ever seen il after a run of the same length of
time in any mill or upon any rock. This as
sertion furnishes weighty evidence of the
Poor Mans Joy rock when it is considered
that 1t comes from one who has been engaged
five years in the silver mills of Nevada. We
may expect TO see large load of silver bricks
on exhibition In this city next week.
SPECIAL DIsPATcH.-The Herald's specially
manufactured bogus dispatches announced
that Maine had gone Republican by $4,000
majority. This it will be seen, by reference
to the true dispatches which we publish else
where, was only six or eight thousand out of
the way. The discrepancy is accounted for
by the fact that no such dispatch that first
Published by the Herald ever came over any
other line than that of the grape vine tele-
graph. Did il get its agile Diamond City
friend that made such quick time to Occur
d'Alene and back, TO bring Its dispatch
through from the Pine Tree State in advance
of the telegraph?
The NORTHERN LIGHrs.-0ur contemporaries
seem to be in doubt as to whether the beauti-
full celestial display which delighted our citi-
zens night before last was really the Northern
Lights. There is, really, no doubt about it.
It was one of the most distinct and perfect
exhibitions of the Aurora Borealis that has
ever been seen, and was one Of the most beau
tifrl displays of that phenomenon that has
